Chapter 55 I've Contracted This Stone!
At last, it was Xiaoqiao who remained, the most difficult one to handle.
Fang Ye actively engaged his affable skill, knowing that if he didn't use it to hold Xiaoqiao, he was sure to be bitten by her.
Even so, Xiaoqiao's mood was clearly a bit unsettled, and she jumped out of his arms as soon as he held her.
When Fang Ye tried to hold her again, Xiaoqiao let out a sharp, annoyed cry and ran off.
"Xiaoqiao~"
Fang Ye squatted on the ground, spread his arms, and looked at her with calm sincerity, his voice exceptionally gentle, "Xiaoqiao, don't worry, I won't hurt you. Get in the cage, and you will be out in no time, okay?"
"Ying?"
Xiaoqiao looked at him, her eyes filled with suspicion!
"Xiaoqiao is the sweetest and most adorable, right?"
This time when he went to hold her again, Xiaoqiao struggled a bit, reluctantly let him hold her, and let out a soft cry!
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, you fool, what are you talking about! Who asked you to praise me!
Even if you praise me, I won't be happy!
However, when he thought about putting her in the cage, Xiaoqiao became emotional again, stood in front of the iron cage, and refused to go in at all costs.
After several failed pushes, she suddenly turned around and bit Fang Ye's arm!
Lan Li was startled and asked timidly, "Director Fang, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Fang Ye reassured with a wave of his hand.
Xiaoqiao had not bitten down hard; it was just a release of her emotions, and not even the skin of his arm was broken.
She gave him a deep look, slowly released her bite, and willingly walked into the iron cage.
Choosing a corner, she curled up into a ball, sullen and despondent, with her large tail covering her face.
Usually, she was a haughty and tyrannical princess, fierce to everyone. But once in the cage, her aura softened, evoking a sense of pity.
"Let's go, let's go!"
After much effort, all the red foxes were finally enclosed in the cage, and then covered with a cloth to keep them from being startled by changes in the external environment during transport.
Fang Ye did not dare to delay, "Come on, help lift this, Meng Shi!"
"Alright!"
Soon, everyone arrived at the new red fox exhibit.
Fang Ye lifted the cloth from the cage, and the red foxes stood up one by one, gaping and looking around, seemingly astounded!
Little trees and green leaves swayed in the wind, and the sandy ground seemed very inviting for a roll.
There were also huge rocks and bushes for cover, and logs to leap and play on!
This, where is this? Is this our new home?
Online viewers couldn't help but chuckle at the stunned expressions of the red foxes, and they also felt very happy for them!
"Hahaha, suddenly they've gone from affordable housing to a luxury apartment!"
"Worth it, worth it, this will stop the emotional outbursts!"
As soon as the cage was opened, Sugar Pack couldn't wait to dash out, plunging into the sand, joyfully rolling around, her tail sweeping up clouds of sand!
For many animals such as red foxes, hyenas, gray wolves, and civets, the yellow sand is a great bedding material. It's not only fun for frolicking but also for taking sand baths to solve hygiene issues, greatly improving animal welfare.
Before in the enclosure, they had no choice but to relieve themselves on the concrete floor, which was not at all satisfactory for the animals.
It's like when a person finishes pooping and is told there's no paper, only to have to wipe with his hand—no one can accept that scenario!
Xiaoqiao immediately set her sights on that conspicuous boulder, elegantly ran over, jumped on top of it, and declared her sovereignty.
When she saw Fang Ye, she didn't glare at him angrily anymore; she just glanced at him and then ignored him.
Hmph, the environment here is just so-so, I suppose, but seeing how hard you've tried, I'll reluctantly remove you from my most hated human list. I won't fuss about you holding me today or locking me in a cage!
Prince Lele happily ran over to Sugar Pack's side, and they started playing in a dust bath together, while Youyou began to explore the surrounding environment, gently sniffing at the bushes with her nose, squinting her eyes, and looking completely intoxicated.
"Looking at them, they seem to really like their new home! Through the screen, I can even feel their happy mood."
"Seems like they've become much livelier than they were in the previous enclosure!"
"I really want to visit, the foxes are too cute!"
Seeing the foxes playing happily, Fang Ye smiled contentedly, quietly left, and let them fully enjoy the new environment.
Next was moving the red pandas to the red panda exhibit.
Red pandas are much easier to handle as their experiences are shallower and their thoughts simpler. Plus, in the past half month, they interacted with Fang Ye every day and were occasionally taken downstairs to the lawn for a walk and to climb trees, as well as were fed delicious apples. Now, they are not very afraid of him anymore.
When Chestnut saw Fang Ye, she ran over and hugged his leg; Park Director, are we going out to play?
"Eh, such a good girl. Chestnut, say hello to everyone?"
Fang Ye picked up Chestnut, showed her in front of the camera, and waved her little paw.
The fluffy and pudgy red panda, with clear eyes and charming features, immediately elicited exclamations of cuteness from the netizens!
"Is this the red panda? I'm in love!"
"Ah, I'm dead!"
"Starting today, I officially become a red panda fan!"
Fang Ye drank a bottle of Spiritual Spring water to replenish his energy and activated his affable skill, easily placing Red Bean and Chestnut into the cage.
As they approached the red panda exhibit and saw the secluded emerald bamboo forest, interspersed with flowers and the meandering stream, the netizens were amazed!
"My God! This vast bamboo forest was transplanted just for the red pandas?"
"There's even a stream! It's so beautiful."
"I just said the red fox exhibit's environment was good, but the red panda exhibit's environment can't just be described as 'good'—it's incredible!"
"With this environment, I think even pandas would be ok!"
The interior of the exhibit was clearly well-designed too, with lush green grass, stone caves on low hills, several logs lying across it, and a ginkgo tree with sturdy branches and lush leaves, all combining to form a natural and harmonious scene.
There was even a rope ladder connecting two ginkgo trees, and auxiliary perches leaning against the lower part of the trunk to facilitate the red panda's climbing.
After Chestnut and Red Bean got out of the cage, Chestnut was a bit dazed, sticking out her cute little tongue that looked like she was trying to act cute, but of course, she was actually sensing the scents around her.
Then she set off on all fours toward a ginkgo tree, climbed up the perch, and in a swift movement, she was up in the tree fork, peeking through the dense green leaves, surveying the ground below.
Red Bean, who was cautiously observing her surroundings, suddenly realized her friend had run off, became panicked, and hurriedly followed Chestnut up the tree.
Fang Ye said with a laugh, "I've finally finished moving them into their new homes. There's more work to be done, so I'll end the stream here for today! The new exhibits open tomorrow, and everyone's welcome to visit!"
"Ahh, I haven't watched enough yet!"
"I don't want to say goodbye to the cute red pandas, Park Director, continue streaming for a bit longer!"
"Alright, I'll definitely come tomorrow!"
Tang Xiaoxin, who was watching the live stream, suddenly stood up with excitement and sent a message to her best friend, "Keke, are you free tomorrow? Let's go play at Linhai Zoo together!"
"Okay, okay, okay, you talk about how good this zoo is every day, and I've become curious too!"
