Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 149: Are Pregnant Women Always This Moody?

The first to notice that something was off was Great Bai, who lifted its head and sniffed the air, then walked toward the side.

Chen Ying, curious, followed its gaze and suddenly felt alarmed, hurrying to catch up.

There, in a crack in the corner, Black Big Guy was curled up pitifully, juggling a steaming-hot bun from hand to hand.

Not a Street rat, lacking that ruthless, indifferent to others' fates demeanor. Upon closer inspection, hey, it's Black Bear Sister!

"Why aren't you sleeping in your tree hollow? Why come steal food? If you're hungry, just come and ask for it openly. You've even learned how to open windows now, impressive."

Black Bear Sister rolled her eyes at him, o(￣ヘ￣o＃)

"What's the matter? Did I do something to upset you?"

Chen Ying fetched a small basket of apples and carrots from the storeroom and handed them to Black Bear Sister.

A pregnant female needs to add nutrition.

"You two-legged beasts have a saying, 'Everyone laughs at the new bears, but nobody cares about the old bears crying!'"

No, where did you learn that phrase?

Are you planning on becoming enlightened following the Street rat?

Chen Ying couldn't help but laugh and cry. He patted her on the shoulder, sat down opposite her, ready to have a heart-to-heart.

Great Bai dragged over a stalk of bamboo, settled down on the spot, ready to eat it as if it were a meal.

The other animals also found their usual spots and began to spread out.

Chen Ying's headache grew as he glanced at the group of animals eagerly watching, out of the corner of his eye.

"Why did you give Street rat's girlfriend honey, but didn't think to send any my way?"

"When did I send his girlfriend anything? Don't wrong me."

"I can attest that the two-legged beast didn't send anything."

Jinya intervened, only for Little Jin to cover her mouth with a paw.

"Liar!" Black Bear Sister, feeling wronged and angry, stood up, towering over Chen Ying with a glare, "It said you arranged a place for it to keep bees and get honey, and that it can go there to eat every day!"

You really can't rely on that Street rat to be reliable even once.

"Don't get angry, that honey wasn't sent by me. It was the dowry that the Young female bear brought with her."

Although it was his suggestion, the Hive was indeed set up under the guidance of Bear Garden to direct the local villagers, so he wasn't lying, right?

Black Bear Sister took a few deep breaths, glanced at the group of onlookers who were both eating and on guard, and angrily sat back down.

Turning anger into appetite, two bites per little apple, I won't let you starve!

While she was eating apples, Chen Ying checked her body and realized that Black Bear Sister seemed to have lost some weight.

"Have you not been eating much lately?"

It was alright not to ask, but once asked, Black Bear Sister tearfully looked away.

Before the two-legged beasts arrived, it wasn't like she hadn't been hungry, but back then, everyone was the same—if she was hungry, the other bears were too.

But why could that stinking bear enjoy good food and drink with its female, while she could only drink dew and chew on dry grass?

They were all bears, was there any need for such discrimination?

And that Black and White Bear, just because there are fewer of them, the two-legged beasts feed them until they are plump. That fat, she even wants to nibble a bit.

After a thorough check of Black Bear Sister's body, no injuries were found, probably just hunger.

The black bears from the Southwest do not hibernate and need to eat all year round.

Plus, Black Bear Sister was pregnant with Baby, and her needs for food were even greater.

The territory she had previously chosen actually wasn't lacking in food, but the Street rat, along with the Young female bear, had also decided to station near her territory for the sake of the honey.

The food consumption of three bears couldn't be supported by one forest.

Add on the snowfall, and it made sense that Black Bear Sister couldn't find enough to eat.

That Street rat, no matter how nicely you talk to him, he won't listen, and he's too strong to provoke.

"Maybe you could give birth somewhere else?"

After some thought, it was decided that Black Bear Sister needed to relocate.

"There's a crevice near Huaqiu Valley where even the Street Rat would spend the night. I'll talk to it and ask it not to go near Huaqiu Valley anymore, to leave that space for you and your cubs, okay?"

Huaqiu Valley had more abundant food and was previously marked as the Street Rat's territory, which Black Bear Sister couldn't compete for, which is why she settled for living near Old Bear Gully instead.

"You talk to it; I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep."

After venting her frustrations, Black Bear Sister felt a bit relieved.

But her instinct to protect her unborn cubs prevented her from letting down her guard and sleeping there.

There were too many fierce animals nearby; she had to protect herself and the baby in her belly.

She found a spot on a big tree a good distance away from the small building, climbed up, tucked herself in, and fell asleep.

Chen Ying scratched his head, looking at the circle of onlooking animals.

"Alright, break it up; I'm going to find the Street Rat. You guys stay out of trouble at home."

Little Jin stretched lazily, nudged against Jinya, and leapt down from the tree, signaling for her to come along.

It was rare for Little Jin to feel like going out for a stroll, and Jinya happily followed.

The two frolicked and ran through the forest, eventually disappearing from sight.

Chen Ying deployed a drone, searching for the Street Rat in the direction of Old Bear Gully, but instead found the two bears sitting under a big tree, baring their teeth and staring up at the tree.

Adjusting the drone's angle, he spotted a Clouded Leopard and a small animal resembling a leopard in fur but the size of a house cat on the tree.

"A Leopard cat? It actually wasn't killed by the Clouded Leopard?"

Chen Ying was about to observe the situation further when Yin Li called.

"A kid showed up at the Protection Station, insisting that a Big Cat dragged away the little cat he was keeping. I saw the picture, and something felt off about that little cat. Take a look for yourself."

A photo came through on his phone.

At first glance, it did look like a cat, but upon a closer look, it was indeed a cat but its markings suggested it was not an ordinary cat.

"This is a Leopard cat, right? It's a Second Nation species; private ownership isn't allowed. Ask the kid where he found the cat."

"He said he picked it up near his home. His family lives in Baishui Town by the Cuomu River. He came to Jiamu Town to visit relatives and lost the cat. The boy came up here by himself, following the highway to look for the cat."

Yin Li spoke with a tone of helplessness.

The kid sounded reckless, yet he knew to follow the highway and seek help from locals to find the cat.

But he was too clever for his own good, running off without even telling his parents.

"His aunt ran to the police station to report him missing, and after checking surveillance, they found he went up the mountain. She's on her way up to pick him up. I'll ask for more details and let you know."

After hanging up the call, the situation in the tree changed again.

The Clouded Leopard bit the little cat's neck and with a twist in mid-air, leapt to another tree.

The Street Rat roared and prepared to climb up; Chen Ying quickly called out to stop it.

He couldn't get close; an enraged Black Bear had formidable strength, and he couldn't disregard his life despite his affinity.

But the Street Rat stopped and turned to look at Chen Ying, fangs bared.

After standing there for a while, it finally calmed down and waddled back to sit next to the young female bear.

The Clouded Leopard changed trees again and stopped closer to Chen Ying's side.

Releasing its grip, it pressed down on the trembling Leopard cat with a paw.

"This little thing stole his food; Black Big Guy is so angry he wants to kill it."

The Clouded Leopard was not the type to join in the commotion, so why would it save the Leopard cat out of kindness?

Feeling a bit awkward and guilty, the Clouded Leopard looked away and then turned back, speaking with righteous indignation, "This Baby went to con food from the human kid, so I brought it out."

Case closed, so it turns out you, Big Cat, were the one who took someone's pet!
