Allergic To Furry Things But Can Pet Them Mentally – CH110

Chapter 110

This was not the first time Shen Muhan had transformed into his big snow leopard form, but it was the first time he had done so while fully conscious and clear-headed.

After returning from the island, he had trained even harder than before, all for the sake of stabilizing that big snow leopard form as soon as possible so he could take Xiao Rong out for a ride.

He had broken his promise once on the island. Next time, he absolutely could not fail again.

This time, turning into a big snow leopard was completely unexpected.

But he adapted to this new body very quickly, giving his fur a brisk shake before fixing his icy blue eyes straight on the little child not far away.

Because of the sudden appearance of the big snow leopard, the courtyard instantly felt crowded. Luckily, the yard was spacious enough, so nothing got knocked over or broken by the huge beast.

The only one who got startled was that ordinary snow leopard. It hurried back to the little girl’s side, tail tucked, peeking timidly and curiously at this “same kind” that had suddenly become so enormous.

Tang Rong instinctively dodged to the side, afraid that if the ordinary snow leopard brushed against him, it would trigger his allergy.

The next second, a long furry tail reached toward him, wrapped around his waist, and lifted him onto a broad, soft back.

“Meowu.” The big snow leopard let out a high, soft cry at him.

It was safe here.

Everyone else in the yard had already rushed over because of the sudden change.

The image from last time on the island—when the big snow leopard had exhausted all its strength and turned back into a little snow leopard that could not even move—was still vivid in everyone’s minds. This was Trash Planet, where medical care was far inferior to the main planet. Nothing could be allowed to go wrong.

After a long time spent coaxing him, the big snow leopard finally obediently lifted its tail and set the little child down from its back, then transformed right in front of everyone back into the little snow leopard form.

“Meowu.”

It hopped and ran around as normally as ever, without any of the bad aftereffects he had shown on the island.

Still, no one dared to relax.

Tang Zheng’en and Yun Jian brought him to a more open area nearby to check his condition and test switching between large and small forms. In the end, they came to one conclusion—the Empire’s little Crown Prince, owner of SSS-level spiritual power, had successfully achieved free switching between two forms at the age of five.

Actually, after what happened on the island, they had already suspected this would happen sooner or later. Alcohol was not a spiritual stimulant. It could only provide a certain amount of stimulation, but it still required a corresponding base level of strength. The fact that Shen Muhan had been able to turn into a big snow leopard after getting drunk showed that his own strength had already reached that threshold. It was only a matter of time before he could stabilize the large form.

They just had not expected that day to come so quickly.

Tang Zheng’en immediately contacted the royal family and started a video call with Shen Chuanqiong and Han Zhi.

On the video screen, after the big snow leopard had used its tail to lift the little child onto its back, it curved and lowered its tail. Tang Rong then slid down from its tailbone along the curled tail like he was going down a slide, laughing and having the time of his life.

Most people who possessed spirit beasts aimed to unlock another form because they wanted to become stronger. But somehow, it felt like their son had done all this simply to make Xiao Rong happy…

…

When they returned to Old Li’s home, the big snow leopard obediently turned back into its little snow leopard form.

Tang Zheng’en had a long private conversation with Old Li.

The first thing was to ask him not to mention this matter to anyone else.

Old Li quickly agreed. He already knew that this snow leopard was not an ordinary snow leopard but a spirit form, and that its background must be extraordinary. He did not dare ask too many questions, much less casually spread anything outside.

The second thing was to give Old Li a sum of money.

It was a very large amount—more money than Old Li had ever seen in his entire life. Although the excuse given was “hush money,” Old Li knew it was really an act of kindness, meant to help his family. He lowered his head and wiped away hot tears, thanking Tang Zheng’en again and again. Tang Zheng’en said nothing, only patted his shoulder.

They were both fathers who loved their children. They could understand each other’s feelings. Tang Zheng’en hoped Old Li’s daughter’s health would get better and better, and that their family’s life would steadily improve as well.

As for that ordinary snow leopard, they could simply say that Xiao Rong liked it and ask the family to continue keeping it, so it could stay by the little girl’s side.

When Tang Zheng’en came back from the conversation, the children were already playing together again, and the kitchen was full of the tempting aroma of food.

The ordinary snow leopard seemed to have accepted snow-leopard-form Shen Muhan as its boss. It followed right behind him step for step and no longer dared to casually bite his tail.

But Shen Muhan in snow leopard form had no interest in playing with it anymore. His head was full of plans for what to do after dinner once he transformed into the big snow leopard—where to take Xiao Rong for a ride, and what he could do besides letting Xiao Rong slide down his tail to make him happy.

Xiao An, meanwhile, curiously asked Tang Rong all sorts of questions about spirit beasts.

Trash Planet had no spirit beasts, so this was the first time she had ever seen one. Naturally, she found it fascinating.

Tang Rong immediately picked up snow-leopard-form Shen Muhan and let him use his light-brain to greet Sister Xiao An.

Very unwillingly, Shen Muhan typed out a greeting on the screen to this person who had “humiliated” him three separate times. “Hello.”

Xiao An’s eyes widened in delight. She hurriedly replied, “Hello, Baobao. You looked so cool when you got big.”

The snow-leopard-form Shen Muhan flicked the tip of his tail.

At last, she had finally said something he actually liked hearing.

But the next second, Xiao An suddenly thought of something else and asked, “Do spirit forms have heat cycles?”

The snow-leopard-form Shen Muhan: “?”

“What’s a heat cycle?” Tang Rong had heard yet another unfamiliar term and asked in confusion.

Xiao An explained, “Most animals have heat cycles. During that time, they want to mate and reproduce. Before, every time Ping’an went into heat, he would sneak off to find other dogs.”

Ping’an was the name of the dog their family used to have.

Tang Rong let out a soft “oh,” suddenly remembering the “neutering” that Xiao Xing and Xiao Yue had talked about back in kindergarten. Neutering was supposed to stop reproduction and help extend the lifespan of small animals.

He lowered his head to look at the little snow leopard in his arms. “I don’t know either. Baobao, do you know?”

The snow-leopard-form Shen Muhan: “……”

The little snow leopard was so embarrassed that its ears flattened back. It quickly typed out a single answer on the light-brain—“No”—then leapt from Tang Rong’s arms and went off to roughhouse with the ordinary snow leopard to vent his feelings.

The butler stepped in at just the right moment and interrupted their conversation. “Dinner’s almost ready.”

A basic level of biological education was necessary for little children, but there was no need to explain too much just yet.

…

Dinner was extremely rich, full of authentic home-style dishes. Xiao An’s mother was an excellent cook, and Tang Rong ate until his little belly was stuffed.

The little snow leopard also had his own special seat and bowl, completely different from the ordinary snow leopard nearby, who sat like a little dog waiting for leftovers.

Remembering how that ordinary snow leopard had treated him like the boss, the little snow leopard secretly picked up a chicken drumstick from his own bowl and tossed it to the other leopard.

Old Li’s family had not eaten such a lavish meal in a very long time, and they were all extremely happy.

It was already fully dark outside. There were no decent hotels on Trash Planet, and Old Li’s home did not have enough rooms or beds, so after the group took a walk through the alley to digest their meal, they planned to go back to the spacecraft to wash up and sleep.

But the little snow leopard loudly insisted on transforming into the big snow leopard and taking Xiao Rong out for a ride.

Tang Rong’s eyes sparkled too. He was dying to sit on the back of a majestic big snow leopard and have such a mighty mount.

The Tang family had no way to refuse the two little children, so they had no choice but to accompany them.

Tang Rong said, “Grandma used to say that you could see beautiful auroras on the mountain. Grandpa had taken her there before, but I’ve never seen them.”

So the destination for their ride changed to the mountain.

At night, the temperature dropped several more degrees. Tang Rong put on the scarf Auntie Han Zhi had knitted for him and the little hat his mother had prepared before they came. His little face was wrapped up so thoroughly that only his beautiful pale-green eyes were left showing. Lying against the big snow leopard’s soft, warm back, with the big leopard’s tail curled around his waist to keep him from falling, cocooned in warm fur, Tang Rong did not feel cold at all.

Beside them, Tang Zheng’en in his big lion form carried the rest of the family and led the way for the two little children.

A hovercar carrying basic supplies followed behind them.

The mountain road was not especially hard to travel, though the higher they climbed, the more it became covered in a thick layer of snow.

Fortunately, it was not snowing at the moment.

Almost no one would climb the mountain at night. They did not meet a single person on the way, though they did come across a few startled small animals.

Gradually, the pitch-black sky began to bloom with waves of beautiful color.

“Wow.” Tang Rong could not stop himself from gasping, his eyes filling with the reflected glow.

Was this what Grandma had meant by the aurora?

The big snow leopard tilted its head up too and let out a “meowu” in agreement.

It really was beautiful.

In the end, the group found a relatively flat place to make camp and decided to stay the night there.

They could have slept in the hovercar, and its roof could even switch into fully transparent sightseeing glass—but Tang Rong still chose to lie on the big snow leopard instead, wrapped in soft leopard fur as he gazed up at the dazzling aurora.

The big snow leopard lay down as well, exposing an even warmer belly so the little child could sleep on top of it. That way, they could lie there together and watch the aurora.

That night, Tang Rong slept more comfortably than ever before.

He dreamed that he saw Grandma in her youth, standing there with a man around the same age as her, their hands tightly clasped together as they admired the beautiful aurora side by side.

When he woke from the dream, Tang Rong blinked sleepily, rolled over on the soft “leopard bed,” and found that at some point a blanket had been draped over him. Then, the next instant, he met pairs and pairs of beast eyes—and with a jolt, every trace of sleep vanished.

Around them were dozens of snow leopards—some curled up asleep, some biting their tails, some staring at them, some tumbling around and playing.

…Why were there so many snow leopards?!
