Chapter 35 - Sympathy Seeker


As soon as the rabbit left, Zhao Xixi became even more nervous. Her eyes widened, staring at the pangolin monster next to her.

The pangolin was not used to it and said angrily, “What are you looking at?”

Zhao Xixi just looked at him without saying a word.

The pangolin was very upset and roughly said, “…I didn’t really want to cut off his ears. What do you think I am doing?”

Zhao Xixi was surprised, hugged the little tiger, and leaned against the car door pitifully and helplessly.

The pangolin was in a bad mood even more. Originally, he intended to scare Zhao Xixi and said to cut off her fingers, but she was not afraid at all and kept talking, which made her seem to find a sense of presence. He actually didn’t intend to scare her just now. He didn’t know why he did that, but the human cub was really scared.

The rabbit: “I bought it back. Are four chicken drumsticks enough to eat?”

The rabbit put the paper bag containing the chicken drumsticks into the pangolin’s hands.

Obviously, the rabbit had put the fried chicken drumsticks into the pangolin’s arms, but he still didn’t forget to give himself a good impression in front of the human cub. He said, “Little Xixi, would you like a fried chicken drumstick?”

The car was full of the smell of fried chicken drumsticks. Even though Zhao Xixi was tired of eating fried chicken drumsticks a while ago and even decided that she would never eat them again in her life! Obviously, one cannot guarantee for a lifetime the promises made at the age of three.

Little Xixi smelled the aroma of fried chicken drumsticks and felt that her stomach was even hungrier.

But the fried chicken drumsticks are in the hands of the villain, and Zhao Xixi doesn’t want to ask the villain for them.

So she stiffened her neck and didn’t even look at it.

The rabbit: “…” Really have a backbone!

The rabbit returned to the driver’s seat and continued driving. The pangolin didn’t eat the fried chicken drumsticks.

He was actually waiting, waiting for this human cub to take the initiative to ask him for the chicken drumsticks.

If she asks for them, be pitiful. He might give her half a fried chicken drumstick. Anyway, these chicken drumsticks had been bought back, and it would be a waste if she didn’t eat them.

The car was driving on the highway, and the scenery outside the window flashed by, but inside the car, it was quiet.

Seeing that the fried chicken drumsticks were going to be cold, the human cub still had her neck stuck, showing no intention of being subdued.

It’s fine if she refuses to give in, but the question is, won’t they waste these fried chicken drumsticks?

Do humans not understand what it means to have limited resources?

The pangolin said, “Do you want to eat?”

Zhao Xixi didn’t speak. Her little hands were still tightly covering the little tiger’s ears. The pangolin’s eyes darkened, and she had kept up this movement for a while.

The physical strength of the human cubs is far inferior to that of the monster cubs, let alone the adult monsters.

The pangolin looked at the white and chubby little hand and said, “Cutting off the ears means nothing! You were already so scared like this before I cut it off. And me… when I was a child, humans had skinned me.”

When the rabbit heard these words, his hands trembled, and he almost hit the guardrail on the side.

There is only one sentence in his mind: Is he seeking sympathy now? This is a sympathy-seeker, right?

The rabbit couldn’t believe it. This was the arrogant pangolin he knew, who hated humans!

The pangolin glanced at him coldly, and the rabbit hurriedly continued driving.

When the rabbit looked back through the rear mirror, he saw the human cub looking at the pangolin. Although there was still distrust in her eyes, she still asked in a low voice, “Why are you skinned?”

Resentment flashed in the pangolin’s eyes, but he said lightly, “Because our scales are medicines for humans. I was only three years old at that moment. If it were you, you definitely could not survive!”

Back then, the monsters still did not have human rights. The rare animals’ protection only protected those not enlightened animals and did not protect them, the monsters.

When Zhao Xixi heard this, she had not really understood it yet but still said, “Then they were really bad people! Uncle, you didn't tell your parents?”

The pangolin: “They skinned my parents to death and soaked them in medicinal wine. The ridiculous thing is that medicinal wine was used to treat rheumatism in several humans.”

For this reason, he had lost his family.

Zhao Xixi opened her eyes wide and looked at the uncle in front of her.

The pangolin met her gaze, opened his sleeves, and revealed an arm with no skin but red flesh. Then he said, “This is where they skinned me. If the police hadn’t come, they would have skinned all over my body. A human cub like you definitely could not bear this pain.”

Zhao Xixi touched the uncle's arm with her hand and said, “Uncle, does it still hurt? I'll blow it for you.”

Zhao Xixi came closer and blew on the uncle’s arm.

The pangolin: “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Zhao Xixi: “Uncle, you need to fight back. After fighting back, they won't dare bully Uncle anymore!”

Zhao Xixi also got bullied before, and then she fought back. After that, she did not get bullied anymore. She was too young and had little understanding of death, and she only understood that being skinned was very painful.

The pangolin fell silent and looked at the human cub.

The human cub seemed to open up the chatterbox suddenly, and she started chattering, “When I was a child, I also met several bad guys. They would pull my braids every day, call me a little fat pig, and push me to the ground, and they said they wanted to kill the pig. Later, I learned from Tiger Cub and fought with one of them. After that, they never pulled my braids again.”

The pangolin suddenly said, “What’s the name of that human cub?”

Zhao Xixi said, “Well, it seems to be called… Hmm… I forgot what he was called, but he’s a big villain, anyway.”

The rabbit in the front row kept silent, but he was still driving: “…”

He thought, didn’t the pangolin want to kill this human cub before? Now it seems that he is ready to preserve the other party’s honor?

Zhao Xixi continued, “At that moment, I was too young, so I couldn’t win. Fortunately, I have grown up now.”

The rabbit: “…”

Zhao Xixi looked at this bad-tempered uncle and then said, “Uncle has grown up now, already so big! In the future, no one will bully Uncle anymore!”

Zhao Xixi suddenly added, “Uncle, you put on your seat belt. My father said that if you don’t put on your seat belt when you are in the car, you will get thrown out.”

The rabbit silently fastened the seat belt on himself, then saw the pangolin freeze for a moment, and then also fastened the seat belt.

Zhao Xixi felt this uncle was not as bad as she imagined.

Zhao Xixi: “Uncle, do you have children in your family?”

The pangolin: “No.”

Zhao Xixi: “Oh.”

Originally, Little Xixi wanted to say that if you have children, they must sit in the child’s safety seat.

The pangolin looked at the human cub, touched his nose, and awkwardly said, “There are still four fried chicken drumsticks here…”

Zhao Xixi looked at him with wide eyes.

The pangolin: “Has your teacher ever taught you that wasting food is shameful?”

Zhao Xixi nodded: “Teacher Tao Hua had said it. Teacher Tao Hua said that the farmer uncle has been working hard to grow crops, so we have to eat every grain of rice, and there should be no leftovers.”

Zhao Xixi narrowed her eyes with a smile, then said, “Every time I eat, there is not a single grain of rice left in the bowl.”

The pangolin handed the fried chicken leg to Zhao Xixi and said, “Then you eat it. I don’t want to eat this. If you don’t eat it, throw it away.”

Zhao Xixi quickly picked it up, afraid that he would throw it out, but Zhao Xixi still didn’t forget a very important thing.

She looked down at the little tiger in her arms and asked, “Why hasn’t the tiger cub woken up yet?”

The pangolin seriously explained, “He bit my arm just now, and the toxin in my arm had entered his body, so he fell into a coma for a while. He will wake up in a while.”

Zhao Xixi: “Then, Uncle, if he doesn’t wake up after a while, can we go to the hospital for an injection?”

The pangolin looked at the fried chicken leg. Is this human cub ready to eat? Isn’t she panicking? Seeing that he didn’t answer, she continued to ask once again. This time, the pangolin answered, “Okay, if after a while he has not woken up yet, we’ll go to the hospital for an injection…”

The rabbit: “…”

In a childish voice, Zhao Xixi continued to say, “Then, Uncle… When I'm eating fried chicken drumsticks, you can’t cut off the tiger cub’s ears.”

The pangolin: “…I won't cut it.”

Zhao Xixi: “You promise!”

The pangolin: “I promise.”

He thought, Why did he cut off the ears of this experimental subject? Is he sick?

Zhao Xixi breathed a sigh of relief and started eating the chicken drumsticks slowly.

The pangolin looked at her quietly for a while, then remembered something.

The rabbit mentioned that the human cub is very popular in the monster forum. So the pangolin took out his mobile phone and logged in to the monster forum for the first time. He didn’t need to search and directly saw the area marked with red and bold postings about the human cub, Zhao Xixi.

The pangolin clicked in and saw various uploaded videos of the human cub inside.

After watching all the videos and the stories shared by the monster nursery, he saw monsters commenting on Zhao Xixi’s postings:

“There are three types of human beings in this world: those who advocate peace, those who exclude others, and this little friend, Zhao Xixi.”

“This little friend, Zhao Xixi, doesn’t seem to see the difference between humans and monsters.”

“When I saw her parents before, I thought they were fierce and evil. But because of Zhao Xixi, now whenever I see her parents who are fighting against monsters, I start to feel they are very good-looking, with clear eyebrows and bright eyes.”

“No matter what she looks like, I hate humans, and I hate her too! Who made her have human blood!”

“Please be reasonable. What did Zhao Xixi do? Rather than saying that she likes monsters, it's better to say that she really regards monsters as the same kind, and your thinking is even more ridiculous. Just because she is a human being, you hate her. Isn't this logic very familiar to you? Like this one: Just because you are a monster, you cannot stay! To be honest, the current Monster Association is just wearing a big hat of justice, and it's actually doing something similar to the human Anti-Monster Alliance.”

“So I can't even say that I don't like that human cub now? To be honest, with her current limelight, it's not necessarily whether there will be an extreme anti-human monster who will twist her neck or not.”

When Pangolin saw the last comment, his heart burst into an unknown fire, and then he typed with a snap—“Take care of your own neck.”

As soon as he finished replying, he saw that the other party had replied to him, too—“Where did this little monster come from? Since you like to kneel and lick humans so much, you must be a dog monster, right? It's a pity that you are barking behind your master’s back, and your master probably does not even take a look at you.”

This is the first time the pangolin has logged on to a monster forum in his life, and he has never experienced the baptism of a keyboard man. Although he had a miserable childhood, when he grew up, he had a ruthless, demonic heart. And he had never met anyone who dared speak like that to him anymore.

It's not that the other party doesn't have eyes to pay attention, but mainly this is just an online monster forum. Even if they are big guys, if they are rarely active, then the administrator will also give them a red vest code. Let alone somebody like him, who has no certification but only the code name of the vest that the system has randomly assigned. That's why no one will think he is a big man, and naturally, the other party's speech is a little harsh.

The pangolin looked at these few lines of comments and then looked at them again. He couldn’t believe his eyes. He was so angry that the scales of his soul were shaking.

Zhao Xixi: “Uncle, Uncle, I ate it up!”

The rabbit had stopped in front, and he looked at the pangolin, then said, “Going further ahead is the sea highway.”

The rabbit glanced at Zhao Xixi, who was holding the little tiger, and said meaningfully, “Should I continue driving?”

If it continues, they will eventually bring Zhao Xixi, a human cub, to the laboratory, and no one knows what the outcome will be.

The pangolin looked at the scenery outside and looked at Zhao Xixi next to him. Then he pointed to the monster convenience store not far away and said, “Put her in that store.”

After finishing speaking, the pangolin remembered something about what the person on the forum had said before: If she encounters an extremely anti-human monster…

Suddenly, the pangolin said, “Go back to my laboratory first.”

Zhao Xixi: “Uncle, uncle, why hasn’t the tiger cub woken up yet?”

As soon as she said this, she felt the ears on her lap move, and then the tiger cub woke up.

Immediately afterward, the tiger cub protected Zhao Xixi, baring his teeth, and pounced on the pangolin.

The pangolin was not polite either and sneered: “You want to beat me right now? You’re still too young.”

On the other side, the entire kindergarten is on vacation. From the head of the kindergarten to the teacher, everyone is looking for Zhao Xixi and the tiger cub.

“Did you feed your kindergarten safety measures to humans? You didn't even know that Zhao Xixi had actually left the school? Do you think you look after a monster cub who is beat-resistant, fall-resistant, and break-resistant, and that no one wants to abduct and traffic her?”

The teachers are also anxious. They all know about Zhao Xixi’s situation. If they can’t find her, this will inevitably be a big storm that they cannot solve!

Teacher Tao Hua searched the surveillance cameras everywhere, but still did not find any clues. After hesitating for a moment, she said to the other teachers, “I remember that Longteng Pharmaceutical has an independent laboratory.”

The director was a bit strange and said, “Do you suspect they took Zhao Xixi away? Do they need to do this?”

Even if they don't like humans, Zhao Xixi is not an ordinary human. For a large enterprise like that, there is really no need to kidnap Zhao Xixi, who has a lot of Mother's Monster fans. Do you think the public relations of her fan-based community are too leisurely?
