"Hey, Old Tang... Scan the code, let's see which family's Mountain Princess is wandering among the common folk."
Master Fuli, who had been at a loss for words with the Medicine Spring Mountain Lord, remained silent for a long time before motioning to Tang Lian and sarcastically saying.
The Medicine Spring Mountain Lord does indeed live in the deep mountains and old forests, but their mountain happens to be a tourist area.
The Medicine Spring Mountain Lord's family lives off collecting rent.
This tigress isn't trying to leave the mountain; she was born in a big villa at the mountain's peak, got tired of living there, and wanted to go incognito to experience the world's 996 work culture and the high-competition hell that is the college entrance examination.
"Hang out with me!"
"Whether or not you can become human is uncertain, but if you dream of education and changing your destiny, I can hook you up!"
Master Fuli put on a serious face, patting the soft fur on his chest: "With your attitude of chasing dreams, even if I have to pay all your tuition, I'll make sure you get an education!"
"Can I really go to school?" the Medicine Spring Mountain Lord asked in surprise, "but my appearance…"
The Medicine Spring Mountain Lord had previously proposed to villagers the idea of wanting to study, and they agreed.
The villagers personally drove down the mountain and invited teachers up to teach the Medicine Spring Mountain Lord reading and literacy.
But when the teachers saw the Medicine Spring Mountain Lord, they went crazy. The craziest one even started digging a hole in the ground, pulled out a long black worm from beneath, bit into it, and gutted it, exposing colorful intestines inside. (Telecom cable)
After numerous failed attempts at seeking education, the Medicine Spring Mountain Lord understood one thing.
To change destiny through knowledge, one must have a human appearance.
"If I say it's doable, then it's doable! If they dare not teach, I'll tear down their school building!"
Master Fuli said with full confidence.
Those professors and deans at the School of Animal Science, always dimly dancing around or preparing some treats to flatter me, trying to trick me into visiting their school.
Bringing the Medicine Spring Mountain Lord over there, not to mention studying, they'd even dare offer paid lessons to her.
You have to understand.
The Medicine Spring Mountain Lord can literally speak.
Sending her to the School of Animal Science satisfies her reckless curiosity while making the professors there ecstatic. Meanwhile, Ansheng feels like he's not going to get weird treats anymore.
A threefold win, it's absolutely wonderful!
"Alright! I trust your words, Master!" After a long pondering, the Medicine Spring Mountain Lord stood up, bowed to Master Fuli, and raised a can of Fanta as a substitute for tea to offer a toast.
"A toast of apprenticeship?"
Master Fuli looked puzzled at the Medicine Spring Mountain Lord, who was offering tea.
"Lower your hand a little, I can't reach it..."
The Medicine Spring Mountain Lord is over 1.9 meters tall, and even while half-kneeling to offer the drink, with her tiger head bowing low, her hand was still shoulder-high, so even if Ansheng stood on tiptoe, he couldn't reach it.
Master Fuli, not wanting to adjust his size on the spot, couldn't be bothered for just a sip.
"Oh..."
Upon hearing this, the Medicine Spring Mountain Lord's tail reached out and wrapped around Master Fuli's waist, lifting him up high.
"Hmm... Orange flavored Fanta."
Master Fuli took a sip of Fanta, nodded, then naturally sat on the Medicine Spring Mountain Lord's shoulder, holding onto the tiger's head and said, "Now that we've settled, let's head home for a meal before discussing other things!"
"It's the National Day holiday now, all schools are on break." Master Fuli patted the Medicine Spring Mountain Lord and pointed forward, indicating for her to head toward the emergency rescue helicopter.
"...... What on earth! The tiger's dream is to leave the mountain for education."
Tang Lian was at a loss for words, sighed heavily, and inside felt a very strange sensation.
It's just..... Suddenly, he felt he was falling behind, as if he had missed out on the development of an era.
A dignified Mountain Lord, king of mountain beasts, someday loudly declaring the wish to leave the mountains for education.
Tang Lian listened to the whole conversation between Master Fuli and the Medicine Spring Mountain Lord, and it felt absurd throughout, especially upon discovering that the Mountain Lord has a PS5 and occasionally visits internet cafes to watch people play LOL...
"What's so absurd? Aren't you also a young master? And here you are, on the front lines with me, Brother Dao?" The goat Dao Lang took a deep drag on his cigarette, then sarcastically commented.
"It's different."
"What's different?"
"I joined the army to fly planes, but after military school, I dazedly returned to herd sheep."
...
They took the emergency rescue helicopter back and returned to the entrance of the Spring Mountain Grassland Area.
Just about to turn back, Ansheng suddenly thought of an amusing question and sideways glanced at the Medicine Spring Mountain Lord.
"By the way.... You mentioned before that you dined at the Outer Capital's restaurant? How did you get in?"
"Oh, I went to the back kitchen to eat." The Medicine Spring Mountain Lord thought for a moment and said.
She wore a trench coat to enter the city, avoiding the crowds, went to the restaurant's back kitchen, kicked the door open, and started eating.
"Then... could you revert back to your original form and wait here a bit for me? Remember, don't speak."
Master Fuli tentatively asked the Medicine Spring Mountain Lord.
Bringing a tiger into a tourist area didn't seem like a problem to Ansheng.
But bringing the current Medicine Spring Mountain Lord in posed some very big issues.
Let's not even mention why she can stand up like a human, just those two massive things on her chest would be hard for Ansheng to explain to Ah Qing and the others.
"Revert to original form..."
Medicine Spring Mountain Lord was taken aback, then suddenly realized, and dropped to all fours, revealing the muscular contour of her arms and back, becoming a large cat with a primorial pouch.
Her body is incredibly strong, weighing around four hundred kilograms, and measuring three and a half meters in length, including the tail, meeting the standards of a giant beast.
However.
Master Fuli made one error; the human-shaped Medicine Spring Mountain Lord is her true form, the current one is her combat form.
"Wow, look at those muscles..."
Seeing Medicine Spring Mountain Lord's powerful arms, with a deltoid muscle larger than his own body, Ansheng couldn't help but show admiration and patted the big tabby.
"Roar——"
The Medicine Spring Mountain Lord let out a comfortable purr, but to outsiders, it sounded like a tiger's roar.
"Still okay....."
"Anything's better than the earlier human form.... " Ansheng muttered softly, strolled around the tourist area, occasionally lifting his nose to sniff the air and differentiate smells.
Ansheng asked Ah Qing about the scent, and all the way from the tourist area, they found their way to the horse ground where Ah Qing, Momo, and others were resting in a tea shop.
"Ying ying ying..."
The little fox, looking somewhat guilty, crawled from under the table to Ah Qing's side, pawed at the table, poked its head out, and made a series of whimpering sounds.
"Eh?"
Ah Qing was puzzled upon hearing it, her face full of questions.
"Ah Qing, what did the little fox say?" Momo, seeing the little fox's guilty face and whimpering sounds, couldn't help but ask Ah Qing for a translation.
This guilty-looking fox, it was the first time seeing.
"Xiaolan said..... he just made a friend, a big orange cat, and asked if he could bring it back for dinner."
Ah Qing seemed puzzled and said, "But, you said that fat tabby is somewhat scared of people, what do you mean by that? Is there even a scaredy tabby?"
"Ying ying ying...." The little fox responded awkwardly.
