After Turning Into An Animal, I Rely On My Face To Make A Living

The little leopard quickly climbed down from the opponent's body.

Without the soothing pheromone that the big leopard deliberately emitted to cover up the catnip, she was suddenly surrounded by catnip again.

Shi Qiao didn't wake up for a few seconds before she fell and continued to roll. Her vocal cords were like an engine running at full speed, and she made a coquettish purring sound. She exposed her belly and wanted to rub it.

Klein walked over, grabbed the skin of the opponent's neck, and pulled her outward. A certain little one took the opportunity to secretly hug the "big toy" with its paws, burying its face in the neck and sucking on it.

Only when she was completely dragged out of the grass with purple flowers and her head was licked twice did Shi Qiao realize what had just happened.

She was actually stunned by the flowers, and then she was eating tofu in front of the boss!

It was so embarrassing. The little leopard covered its head and did not dare to look up at the male leopard. The male leopard licked its head again: "That's Nepeta Cataria, it will look like this if you smell it."

Only then did Shi Qiao realize that unprocessed catnip looks like this.

It was really confusing, and she thought it was some unknown simple little purple flower.

"Let's get out of here quickly."

Shi Qiao tried her best to shake her head and put the shocking scene behind her. She glanced at the catnip flowers with lingering fear. She finally understood why the kittens were so high after sniffing catnip.

It's like she has become a balloon. She doesn't want to go with the flow but she can't control it. She can only let herself float.

Shi Qiao glanced at the boss who didn't pay attention to her behavior just now, and thought to herself, the boss obviously went in, but why didn't he react at all?

It can only be attributed to the fact that the other party has experienced it a lot since he was a child, and now he has developed antibodies.

Shi Qiao sped up and ran two steps to keep up with him.

The male leopard was knocked down by her in the flowers just now, and there was still some lingering fragrance on his body. When Shi Qiao got close to him, she could remember that ecstatic feeling, and now she was a little dizzy.

In a daze, she approached the boss, couldn't help but rub her head on his back, and walked side by side.

When she came back to her senses and saw what she was doing, Shi Qiao quickly pulled herself off the other party like a dog-skin plaster, raised her paw, and aimed it at her head.

Sure enough, for a sub-adult like her who has never smoked catnip, just a little taste can trigger a subsequent chain reaction, and she can't help but want to rub it.

Shi Qiao couldn't hold his breath and didn't dare to breathe anymore, so she ran to get rid of the smell.

After running all the way to the water source, Shi Qiao plunged her head into the pond and raised her head only after it bubbled.

The whole leopard's head became wet. The dizzy brain was finally stimulated by the cool water to restart. It was wet. Shi Qiao walked directly into the middle of the pond and took a bath for herself.

She was splashing around in the water when she suddenly remembered that she was very much like the protagonist in some novels who took some kind of drug to cool down her body.

Shi Qiao: "..."

Her unlucky head just likes to think about things at this time.

Just think of some random things that will make it difficult for Leopard to face the boss!

She thought with tears in her eyes that Klein should have kicked her away when she pounced on him so that she wouldn't be as embarrassed as she was now.

The boss would rather endure so much than hurt herself. Shi Qiao was moved and felt ashamed of herself.

The little leopard washed vigorously, washing away the smell of Nepeta Cataria from her body and all the unattainable things in her mind, and turned into a pure and innocent little follower again.

When she returned to the shore, water was still dripping from her body. Shi Qiao shook her hair, and big drops of water rolled down her back.

She has to find a place where she can get the sun to lick her hair dry, otherwise, she will catch a cold when the temperature drops at night.

Klein found a fig tree nearby, which cast a large swath of sunlight through the wide gaps in the tree crown. The little leopard followed suit and lay down to lick its fur.

She deliberately kept some distance between her and the boss, fearing that she would wet the other's dry fur. However, the other man didn't notice her good intentions at all and walked directly to her side to sit down and help lick the fur together.

Such a large piece of wet fur, she couldn't lick it dry by herself until the sun went down.

Originally, Shi Qiao didn't care at all about the other party's help, but she had just experienced the scene of social death in the catnip bush, and now she was still a little embarrassed to face the boss.

As soon as she saw the calm golden eyes of the other party, she thought of throwing him to the ground and sucking him wildly, and her excitement blossomed in embarrassment.

Being so thin-skinned is terrible. Shi Qiao couldn't control her brain which always loved her divergent thinking. The more this stupid brain was afraid of something, the more it had to think about it over and over again.

She silently moved to the side, declined the help from the boss to lick her hair, and walked out from under the tree to lick her own hair.

The little leopard didn't know why, but he kept a distance even when licking her fur. He thought that the other person was suffering from the aftereffects of inhaling catnip, and her mood was high and low, so he also came closer from under the tree, exuding a scent that could calm the little leopard's mood to comfort her.

Thinking that the boss came over to lick her fur again, Shi Qiao turned her head and saw that the other man was just sitting beside her without moving, so she turned back and continued licking her fur.

But she still underestimated the amount of hair she had, and she didn't even finish licking half of it until her tongue was sore.

Seeing that the sun was getting less and less warm and the sun was setting in the west, Shi Qiao finally gave up resistance and moved to the big man's side obediently, offering her back and asking the other man to help her lick the parts that were out of her reach.

Klein, who originally thought the little leopard was a bit abnormal, felt relieved when he saw the other party approaching him. He took the little leopard into his arms and licked the other party's still wet back.

The rose spots that were stained with water and then licked off seemed to have been rinsed clean and looked brand new. The fiery pink sunset fell on the little leopard's body. The graceful lines were like lifelike flower bones, and the darker hairs inside were the stamens.

Not only does it look like it, but it also tastes delicious.

Klein felt that the effect of the Nepeta Cataria just now was indeed a bit too great. No wonder the little leopard was so fascinated inside that it made her dizzy. Even he realized that something was wrong now, otherwise, he would have wanted to continue licking it even after licking the hair dry.

Shi Qiao turned to look at the other party in confusion.

Why doesn't he continue licking her? The boss is so passive and slow in his work.

Unaware that the hair on his body was dry, Shi Qiao was licked all over her body and felt the moisture evaporate from the hair bit by bit. After the rainy season, she feels uncomfortable all over if she gets even a little bit wet. Just now, the boss has already smoothed the hair down, and she just wants to enjoy the pleasure of being licked.

If you were a human being, you wouldn't be able to experience the pleasure of licking your hair at all.

The little leopard gradually became sleepy, her back was being licked one after another, and her head followed the frequency little by little. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and rested on the big man's paw, falling asleep in this position.

When they caught up with the group of gazelles the next day, they had already entered the southern territory.

Klein was very familiar with his territory. He memorized the specific locations of the herbivores and walked to the place where the markings had completely dissipated to mark them again.

The grassland area is vast. Compared with leopards in other areas, the territory of the African leopard is much larger, covering hundreds of square kilometers. It takes a long time to patrol a circle. It is important to choose a marked location. This is a line of defense that makes intruders fearful.

In the past, Shi Qiao had no idea about the size of the territory. She only knew how big it was after walking from north to south.

Returning to the tree where the other party picked him up for the first time, Shi Qiao couldn't help but sigh that time passed so fast, and a dry season passed in the blink of an eye.

At that time, she was dragging her injured leg and just wanted to survive as long as she could. Who would have thought that she could survive until today?

After walking around and marking the signs, Shi Qiao saw a group of lionesses eating together next to a natural reservoir. There were also a few young cubs around. Coming here, it was inevitable to have lions as neighbors.

The little leopard looked around and didn't see the lion, Sunny. She thought he was busy re-marking his territory like Klein.

The lionesses have no intention of calling the male lions back to eat together. They only care about whether they and their cubs are full.

Being a leader is not easy.

But Shi Qiao would not pity the lion just because of this. Since the opponent was determined to set up camp here, they could only adapt to their circumstances. After all, the lion was still a relatively difficult enemy to deal with.

After the lionesses left, it was the hyenas' turn to eat for the second time. The body of a wildebeest was eaten into pieces, revealing the bright red organs inside.

Shi Qiao thought about how to chase away the hyenas and have a meal. Anyway, they were here, and they were not far away. She was about to turn around and call the boss, but the other party didn't even look at the hyenas who were feasting.

Klein didn't want to grab any wreckage at this time, so he led the little leopard toward the interior of the territory.

The first priority is to find a suitable tree, and they also have to go up to the tree to rest.

Shi Qiao wasn't hungry at all, so she simply looked around. When she saw a tree, she climbed up to see if she felt comfortable. However, the other person was looking for a big tree, while she was looking for two trees that were close together.

There are very few trees that can grow big enough to hug each other on the grassland. At least she hasn't seen a few since she came here. The territory is so large, that it would be troublesome to clear out all the trees one by one to see if two leopards can sleep on it. It is better to just find two trees that are close together.

She thought the two acacia trees opposite were good.

The little leopard touched the male leopard in front of her and pointed out the tree she liked, but was rejected by the big man.

Shi Qiao was not convinced. Although the two trees looked unattractive, the two branches seemed very comfortable to lie on. She was about to climb up to demonstrate to the other party when the skin of the back of her neck was involuntarily grabbed and dragged forward.

The little leopard bared its teeth and said, "It hurts, it hurts, don't hold it in your mouth."

Her current weight is not enough for a big man to carry back and forth like before.

Seeing the little leopard retracting her neck and refusing to touch him, Klein began to miss the time when he could carry her with him and go wherever he wanted.

The little follower is still very obedient even if he is not allowed to pick her up.

They walked for a day and didn't have time to rest. After returning to the territory, they started looking for good trees everywhere. When they got to the end, she doubted whether they could find any more. All the trees here were not thick enough, or their branches were not thick enough, or they were not tall enough.

She wanted to persuade the other party not to be so picky, it would be nice if there were trees to live in, but the male leopard was determined to find them.

Shi Qiao could only drag her heavy paws bitterly and continue walking.

When he reached the eastern edge of the territory, he left the territory and was likely to encounter other beasts. Klein smelled another leopard's mark next to the bushes, ignored the owner's mark, and stepped directly into the acacia forest.

Shi Qiao also smelled the scent of a strange leopard. Seeing that the boss was trying to break into someone else's house, the little follower braced herself and looked around vigilantly.

Klein had previously known that there was a huge acacia tree here, and he came here specifically to look for it.

Different from ordinary small acacias, the tree is divided into two branches from the middle, and branches grow on both sides, like a huge parasol.

The trunk is as thick as five or six normal acacia trees combined, and there are places on each side for leopards to lie down on. This big tree, which has grown for who knows how many years, is more than enough for two leopards.

The acacias will also bloom, and in season the canopy will be covered with bunches of plump off-white flower buds, which have a fragrant aroma that little leopards will definitely like.

Using his memory, Klein walked to the hinterland where other species of his kind lived. In the middle, there stood the big tree that had been growing for hundreds of years.

Shi Qiao didn't expect to find such green and majestic trees in the grassland, and they were also acacias!

Fortunately, this place has not been explored by humans, otherwise, it will definitely become another iconic check-in point in the grassland.

The little leopard happily ran over and climbed up along the strong trunk. The bark of the acacia tree is very strong and easy to climb. It is simply an excellent base.

But if they want to occupy this tree and a large area of land from their territory to here, a fight is inevitable.

Shi Qiao was looking for a strange leopard on a tree branch. The male leopard on the ground moved his ears and heard the sounds of other animals first.

Before Shi Qiao could find the source of his cautious gaze, the bushes beside the male leopard suddenly shook, and a strange adult male leopard pounced from inside.

This is the leopard's advantage in stealth. It can launch sneak attacks against intruders at lightning speed.

Klein had long been prepared to fight at any time. When he saw the "original owner" who had occupied this place first, he had no intention of giving in and turned around to fight.

Shi Qiao happened to be in the tree and happened to witness the scene of two leopards fighting each other in an instant. This aboriginal was not as weak as his useless brother.

Although not as good as Klein, he is also very strong, mainly due to his strong momentum, and he seizes the opportunity as soon as he comes up.

Two adult males circled that small area like two powerful off-road vehicles. "Aboriginal" Jeremy raised his front legs and slapped the intruder on the head, trying to suppress him with his body weight and then take the opportunity to inflict severe damage.

It underestimated Klein and overestimated itself.

Klein also raised his front body and bit the opponent's side. Rather than using his claws, he was more accustomed to directly showing his sharp canine teeth.

The male leopards roared and fought with each other. Shi Qiao was anxious to jump down from the tree to help, but couldn't find the right time. After she made up her mind, she calmly stared at the position of the other leopard, waiting for the two leopards to move under the tree.

Seeing them getting closer and closer to her, the little leopard counted the seconds silently in her heart, three, two, one.

She jumped down from the treetop, and just like the boss pounced on his prey before, she pounced on Jeremy, opened her mouth, grabbed the back of his neck, and bit him hard.

Jeremy didn't expect that there was a leopard in the tree. He roared and had a bloody wound on his neck.

It became furious, broke away from the young adult, and turned around to fight back.

Shi Qiao had already calculated that the male would immediately turn around and aim the spear at her, making a decisive decision and running in the other direction. As expected, the opponent was blocked by Klein again after only a few steps, and he was attacked from both sides.

He was fearless in the face of the lion, and against Jeremy, who was far inferior in weight, his attacks became worse and worse each time.

Jeremy thought he could bite the opponent's back, but the opponent used a tricky angle to dodge the sharp teeth, leaving him in a passive position and becoming a target for attack.

Klein bit Jeremy's hind leg. Jeremy was in pain and couldn't get away. His back was attacked by another sub-adult, and he was defeated by one large and one small.

Seeing that if he didn't give up, he would become the ghost of the male leopard, Jeremy decisively gave up his territory and escaped with pain.

Originally, he only wanted to occupy this tree and had no intention of killing the other party. Klein did not intend to continue chasing after him.

It would take several months for the hind leg bitten by him to recover, and the other party did not dare to come back and die again.

Klein put away his paws and checked whether there were any injuries on the little leopard. After finding that the little leopard was unharmed, he felt better and took the cub up to the acacia tree two or three times.

If Jeremy knew that this male leopard had a fierce fight with him over a mere tree, he would be so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood.

If he had told him earlier, he would have given up this broken tree and this small area!

When she climbed up to two tree branches that were side by side, Shi Qiao's violently beating heart slowed down. God knows how nervous she was just now. This was her first time participating in actual combat.

Although she was just a small assistant, responsible for harassing the enemy at every opportunity, she still won the battle.

She has obtained an achievement!

The "culprit" didn't think there was anything wrong in robbing someone of most of their territory for a tree, and turned his head to lick the scratched back.

Seeing that the boss was struggling to lick, Shi Qiao took over the task of cleaning his wounds.

There were only some shallow claw marks, which were just a slight break in the skin. The little leopard's face slumped down when she saw the wound as if it was a serious injury that would worsen if not treated properly.

Sure enough, fighting is not a good thing.

Otherwise, why did the wound not appear on her body? It would be as uncomfortable as if she had injured herself.

The little leopard licked its wounds and said earnestly: "It's the same when looking for other trees. It's better to fight as little as possible in the future."

Klein was half-squinting his golden eyes, enjoying the warm wind caressing his wounds, and said nothing when he heard the words.

How is that the same?

Two leopards live together, and this is the perfect place. They must fight, and they will fight in the future.

Shi Qiao didn't wait for an answer. Turning her head and looking at the other person, a certain male leopard closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep to avoid the problem. At first glance, it was clear that he was not asleep at all. The little leopard tugged on the big leopard's ears, and the other male leopard subtly shook his tail. 

Shi Qiao: "..."

Such a big leopard is still so rebellious.

Realizing that the little leopard behind him had stopped licking its back, the male leopard didn't even bother pretending to be asleep. He turned his head and barked at the little leopard, signaling the little leopard to continue licking and not stop.

Shi Qiao opened her mouth angrily and prepared to take a bite, but finally retracted her canine teeth and switched to licking.

She felt like she was the other's little long-term worker. She didn't want to be licked and had to be urged to continue working. She was a real worker!

Raising cubs for a thousand days and using cubs for a while, the benefits of having cubs become apparent at this time.

Being licked by the soft, wet, and hot tongue on his back and fur, the "aggressive element" who had just finished a fight and whose blood was still boiling unconsciously stretched his body, and his edges were smoothed bit by bit.

This tree is also very comfortable, and the branches on both sides are strong enough to lie anywhere.

Lying side by side with the little leopard, Klein didn't feel crowded at all. He also felt that it was a little wider and he could move closer to the middle.

A certain big leopard refused to stop, and the little leopard continued to lick. The more she licked, the closer she got. As if she thought the little one was not strong enough, she licked too lightly, so Shi Qiao worked harder without complaint.

She felt that the leopard next to her had turned into a big cat being groomed by her, and she could also hear the contented purr in the other person's throat.

Before she could take the initiative to strike, Shi Qiao's eyes were dazzled and she was scooped into the arms by the big leopard.

The male leopard, whose whole body was smoothed down, nuzzled the soft little leopard and slept well for the first time in his new home.

The two leopards only went back to patrol the original territory when hunting. For more than a month, the two leopards spent time in the new territory and the acacia forest.

During this period, they also met Cudi, who had set off early at that time. He was still the same as before, and he was robbed of fresh prey when he saw a certain bully.

Cudi: "..."

Damn it!

In the dry season, when there is no prey to be caught, it is a partner of the leopard, and in the rainy season, it becomes a prey.

Shi Qiao glanced at the Cheetah sympathetically. She was also a working Leopard. Fortunately, there was a younger brother who was even worse with her and was being exploited for labor by the big boss.

Thinking of sharing a lot of rations with each other during the dry season, the little leopard enjoyed the food of the cheetah without any burden. Compared with the younger brother, being a follower is still very enjoyable, at least the benefits are better.

Shi Qiao finished her meal first and helped the male leopard drive away the vultures and hyenas that came after smelling the scent.

After not seeing each other for a long time, she saw the Spotted Hyena Queen Gnis and her hyena men in the territory again. The hind legs that were severely injured by the male leopard still had huge scars. After recovering from the injury, she still relied on ruthless means to secure her throne as the hyena queen.

But this time she didn't dare to be as eager to establish her authority as last time. She only dared to wait for the male leopard to finish eating at a place not far away.

Seeing a familiar and powerful enemy, even the hyena's subordinates did not dare to continue laughing and barking. The usually noisy hyena was as quiet as a chicken at this moment, and could still recall the fear of being dominated by a leopard.

The male leopard turned his head and glanced at them lightly. Gnis's heart skipped a beat and she was ready to run away when the other party caught up with her.

Unexpectedly, Klein only checked the animals coming over and had no intention of fighting.

He was in a good mood recently, and his temper was also much better. After eating, he licked the little leopard that was standing guard for him and left the carcass of the prey with her.

It was the first time that Gnis saw such a friendly look from a bully, but only to the little leopard next to her.

Only then did it realize that something was wrong. The little leopard was neither the other's cub nor an adult female. Why was it still following the male leopard after it moved from the north to the south?

Shi Qiao felt a line of sight looking at her from behind, and it happened that Gnis was looking up at her.

The cub has lost its characteristics as a cub and has begun to take on the rudimentary form of an adult leopard. After it grows, the cub can no longer be called a cub and is a veritable sub-adult.

At first, it was not as tall as a male leopard's legs, but now it has grown into a body that can be seen at eye level without having to raise its head very hard.

Animals grow much faster than humans. Even Shi Qiao herself felt that not long had passed before she unknowingly grew into a big leopard.

The Spotted Hyena Queen looked at the little female that Klein had raised until now. Thinking about the tough tactics of some male leopards, she felt that the little leopard that was raised by the male leopard would also become a major threat to the hyena group when she grew up.

This land doesn't need so many competitors. Gnis looked away and licked her severely injured hind leg.

She didn't have the chance before, but it seems that she will have to find a way to get rid of the sub-adults early in the future.

Shi Qiao didn't know that she was being targeted again, and was still thinking about the way the spotted hyena leader looked at her just now.

If the other party can continue to be the leader after being injured, it is definitely not a good one. In the future, they still have to be careful about this group of hyenas that eat bones without blinking an eye.
