Rebirth before Apocalypse: My Whole Family are Bigshots!-Chapter 76: So Stingy!

As Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai approached the gate, a round, chubby figure blocked their path.

It was the mutated panda they had seen last time.

The mutated panda stared at Bai Xiqin with a dazed expression, its round body remaining motionless.

"Can we — go in and take a look?"

Bai Xiqin tried to communicate with the mutated panda.

In the post-apocalyptic world, the more powerful the mutant animals became, the smarter they were, with some high-rank superpowered animals even understanding human language.

The round, chubby mutated panda didn’t react, standing still in front of them, its eyes fixed intently on Bai Xiqin.

This human, it had seen before.

Leng Yebai stepped in front of Bai Xiqin, obstructing the mutated panda’s view.

Also known as the iron-eating beast, the panda had formidable attack power, capable of breaking walls reinforced multiple times by earth ability users with a single slap.

Better to be cautious.

When the mutated panda saw Leng Yebai block its view, its ears slightly twitched, expressing mild irritation.

Pop!

A fresh, tender bamboo shoot was tossed by the side of the mutated panda.

The mutated panda tilted its chubby head and saw Bai Xiqin’s fair fingers behind Leng Yebai.

Its chubby ears twitched, and its eyes glanced at the bamboo shoot by its feet.

Two chubby black paws slowly reached toward the tender bamboo shoot, inch by inch.

Twenty centimeters, ten centimeters, five centimeters, one centimeter...

Finally, the chubby black paw caught the large, tender bamboo shoot.

Both chubby paws held the bamboo shoot, eyes fixedly staring at it.

Even before starting to eat, saliva began to drip from the mutated panda’s mouth.

Crunch—

The mutated panda peeled off the bamboo shoot’s skin and started munching on the tender shoot.

Its eyes became brighter and brighter.

With a thud, its mountain-like body plopped onto the ground, the fierce mutated panda adorably eating the bamboo shoot.

Anyone could see the joy it felt eating the bamboo shoot.

Bai Xiqin peeked out from behind Leng Yebai and immediately saw the cuddly mutated panda.

Her slender finger slowly reached toward the mutated panda’s head.

The large mutated panda was even more captivating than a massive plush teddy bear!

The mutated panda paused, decisively tilted its head to avoid Bai Xiqin’s touch, and gave Bai Xiqin a brief, prideful look.

After flaunting a bit, it resumed its adorable munching on the bamboo shoot.

Bai Xiqin rubbed her fingers that halted in mid-air, then calmly retrieved another fresh, large bamboo shoot from her space, tossing it into the panda’s chubby arms.

The mutated panda was taken aback, glanced adorably at Bai Xiqin, and silently placed the untouched bamboo shoot behind itself.

Saving it for later.

Bai Xiqin extended her finger again, attempting to stroke the panda.

The mutated panda once again adorably tilted its head, refusing her touch.

Ha, it’s not like those silly ones in the zoo that only know how to munch bamboo!

It’s not going to just allow anyone to touch it!

It is the ruler among animals!

Bai Xiqin chuckled coldly.

With a flick of her slender finger, large tender bamboo shoots rained down on the mutated panda.

Thud~ Thud~

Bai Xiqin hurled a total of one hundred and one, a number that could drive a perfectionist crazy.

Anyway, pandas can’t read numbers.

This was Bai Xiqin’s quirky sense of humor.

The pile of bamboo shoots succeeded in surprising the mutated panda for a moment, leaving it staring dumfoundedly at the fresh bamboo shoots stacked upon it.

Taking a deep breath.

Aromatic!

The mutated panda tilted its chubby head adorably, its eyes turning toward Bai Xiqin.

Bai Xiqin rubbed her hands together, her eyes fixated on the panda’s head.

It was obvious she wanted to touch the panda’s head.

The mutated panda dazedly opened its eyes for a minute, then moved all the bamboo shoots from its body to the side.

Then, the mutated panda lay on the ground with its eyes closed, revealing its chubby belly, and with limbs slightly moving, it was utterly adorable.

As if — it was being playful.

Bai Xiqin was taken aback, remembering the scene of the panda battling the water python.

Now, it was actually acting cute towards her!

Really — quite unexpected!

The mutated panda stealthily opened an eye to glance at Bai Xiqin, seeing she hadn’t come over to touch, its ears twitched a bit.

The mutated panda let out a long breath, as if a human sighing helplessly.

This human has no sense of flair!

The mountain-like body stood up, the chubby panda moved closer to Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai, lying down beside them.

Showing its round belly.

To lure Bai Xiqin’s hand, the panda even rolled over on the ground.

Its adorable manner instantly melted Bai Xiqin’s heart.

You don’t touch, it’s a loss not to touch.

Bai Xiqin decisively reached out, touching the soft fur, and gave it a squeeze.

The feel was amazing!

Its chubby head eyes half-closed, as if greatly enjoying being petted by Bai Xiqin.

Once, twice.

Bai Xiqin’s fingers quickly slid across the black and white fur, thoroughly enjoying the experience.

Leng Yebai’s mouth twitched slightly, seeing Bai Xiqin’s joy in petting the panda, he extended a finger, eager to feel it as well.

As Leng Yebai’s finger was about to touch the panda, the panda’s eyes suddenly flashed sharply at Leng Yebai.

This human is clever!

You haven’t offered bamboo shoots, why are you touching me!

Leng Yebai’s face slightly stiffened, silently placing his hovering hand on Bai Xiqin’s head.

He stroked twice.

Mmm, the feeling was nice, though Xiao Niu should wash her hair.

Ninety-nine, one hundred, one hundred and one.

The mutated panda suddenly rolled in place, when Bai Xiqin reached the hundred and first stroke, the panda left Bai Xiqin’s fingers.

Maybe Bai Xiqin hadn’t noticed how many strokes she’d done.

The panda rolled to the side of the bamboo shoots, adorably picked up the unfinished bamboo shoot, and started munching again.

Bai Xiqin looked at the bamboo shoots behind the panda, sighed, "You’re really cheeky! After all those bamboo shoots I’ve given you, you let me only touch for this short time!"

Such a profitable deal!

The munching panda halted for a moment, turned its back to Bai Xiqin, and continued crunching on the bamboo shoot. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai exchanged a glance, deciding to bypass the panda and enter the zoo.

The meat of mutated animals was incredibly delicious and greatly beneficial for boosting superpowers.

The panda’s chubby ears twitched, and suddenly it stood up, blocking Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai’s path.

Humans, this is my territory!

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai stopped, refraining from advancing.

Mutant animals have territorial awareness, and once it claims a place as its domain.

Anyone entering its territory would be considered an enemy.

Bai Xiqin glanced at the panda clutching the bamboo shoots, murmured, "Are the bamboo shoots tasty?"

The panda looked adorably at Bai Xiqin, gripping the bamboo shoots slightly tighter with its paws.

The panda let out a deep breath and chomping quickly on the bamboo shoots while blocking Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai.

Still not letting them in.

After both sides locked eyes for five minutes, the panda suddenly ran in a direction.

Its round body didn’t affect its speed.

There’s a reason why Chi You rode an iron-eating beast into battle.

Bai Xiqin blinked, looking at the bamboo shoots on the ground, choosing to remain where she was.

She had a feeling it would return.

Sure enough, within five minutes, the panda was back, carrying two animals on its round body.
