Chapter 16: Eating Fruit
Page (1/3)
Qin Chuan saw Shen Gongbao’s cowardly demeanor, placed his hands on his hips, and with a sharp slap, gave him a slap on the face, saying, “If you don’t get up, I’ll feed you to the Azure Dragon Lizard!”
“Wuwuwu~~~” (￣.￣)
Shen Gongbao immediately rose, bowing and scraping as he came before Qin Chuan, then lowered his head as if to say, “Your Majesty, you may depart now.”
Qin Chuan straddled Shen Gongbao’s back and, facing the restless Azure Dragon Lizard, said, “Don’t follow me, I’m not your child!”
“Let’s go!”
With a small clap of his hands, Qin Chuan commanded, and Shen Gongbao swiftly left this troublesome place; it was far too dangerous here.
“Hisss~~~”
The sound of the Azure Dragon Lizard came from behind, seemingly asking where Qin Chuan was headed, but Qin Chuan was already moving farther and farther away.
The spectators, watching, said:
“I feel like Qin Chuan is running away from home.”
“It’s almost dark, and Qin Chuan chooses not to stay near the Azure Dragon Lizard. Leaving at this hour is way too dangerous.”
“Everyone knows the forest is most perilous at night; no one knows what demons or monsters might appear.”
“Qin Chuan is only four years old; it’s not surprising he doesn’t understand these common dangers. With Shen Gongbao by his side, nothing serious should happen.”
“He’s probably going to look for food now.”
Their guess was correct; Qin Chuan was indeed searching for food, not because he was hungry, but because Shen Gongbao had expended too much energy and needed to eat.
Shen Gongbao was very familiar with the area and soon arrived beneath a fruit tree, signaling to Qin Chuan that the fruits were edible.
“These are the fruits I’ve eaten before.”
Upon seeing the fruits, Qin Chuan realized they were the same ones he had tasted for the first time.
He had just jumped down to the ground when Shen Gongbao leapt up the tree and, with a swipe of his paw, knocked several fruits down.
Qin Chuan reacted quickly, stepping forward to catch the fruits in his hands and then placed them into his spatial ring.
The live broadcast room was stunned once again.
“I suddenly find this leopard so adorable.”
“It’s literally a living map inside the forbidden zone—delivering resources, leading the way, and even finding food. Is this the forbidden zone’s nursemaid?”
“The main thing is our little troublemaker from Yanhuang is lucky—he managed to capture a leopard right at the start, making everything else a guaranteed win.”
“We’re always worried about Qin Chuan, but he always turns danger into safety and brings us surprises.”
Bingbing also said, “Many people say Qin Chuan is just lucky, but I have a different view. I always feel that our Qin Chuan is extraordinary. Besides luck, he has many outstanding qualities.”

“Although we’re not entirely sure of his specific abilities yet, we must believe in him.”
“Qin Chuan keeps bringing us surprises, and it’s not entirely luck. He won’t get into trouble.”
“Not only does he have Shen Gongbao, a forbidden zone creature, by his side, but also the ‘Heavenly Thunder Technique’ he learned before. That skill is definitely extraordinary.”
“Bingbing is right. We must trust Qin Chuan.”
On screen, Qin Chuan was very pleased to see Shen Gongbao so willingly picking fruit for him.
“More, more! There’s some here and some over there.”
Qin Chuan immediately started playing, grinning as he directed Shen Gongbao to knock down the fruits from the tree one by one. Shen Gongbao jumped left and right, swiping with his paws here and there, looking utterly comical.
“I seriously suspect Qin Chuan is just playing.”
“No doubt about it, he’s definitely playing.”
“Poor leopard.”
“Did you notice? Qin Chuan caught all the fruits without wasting a single one.”
“Qin Chuan is so cute and lively.”
Bingbing had a different thought, saying, “Look, although Qin Chuan is young, don’t underestimate him. His behavior seems like playing, but he’s actually storing food, which is very wise.”
They naturally noticed this, and one after another expressed happiness. What’s wrong with a little troublemaker? A parentless child grows up fast. Knowing how to plan for the future at such a young age is no less admirable than adults.
All the fruits from the whole tree were knocked down by Shen Gongbao, who was quite annoyed. Fortunately, Qin Chuan stopped after gathering the fruits.
“Here, eat up, don’t be shy, they taste pretty good.” (*￣︶￣)
Qin Chuan held a fruit in each hand. His small hands were less than one-third the size of a fruit. He placed one in front of Shen Gongbao.
Shen Gongbao: “(⊙﹏⊙)”
The leopard sulked and turned its head away, wanting to get angry, wanting to say, “Have you ever seen a leopard that eats plants?” (╯﹏╰)b
“Don’t you like it? It tastes really good.” Qin Chuan ate the fruit and, seeing that Shen Gongbao still wouldn’t open his mouth, spoke again.
“Big cat!”ヽ(´∇｀ヽ)
Shen Gongbao instinctively looked at Qin Chuan, and then it was doomed.
Qin Chuan clenched his fist, ready to hit him. Shen Gongbao immediately opened his mouth to beg for mercy, but before he could speak, Qin Chuan stuffed a fruit into his mouth. To help Shen Gongbao swallow, Qin Chuan even pushed the fruit deeper into his mouth.
“Mm, that’s much better.” Qin Chuan was very satisfied.
But the poor leopard instantly felt terrible. Its face flushed bright red, it jumped three feet high, struggling to breathe—the fruit was stuck in its throat. (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
Seeing Shen Gongbao so happy, Qin Chuan smiled with satisfaction, “You’re so pleased, no need to thank me. I knew you’d like it. Look at you, even your leopard face is blushing.”

Shen Gongbao: I’ve got something to say but don’t know if I should.
Qin Chuan: Give it a try.
Struggling, Shen Gongbao finally swallowed the fruit, panting heavily on the side. He was almost suffocated to death.
Fortunately, the leopard’s life was saved.
But now, he feared Qin Chuan the demon even more.
“Come on, another one.” Qin Chuan smiled innocently, holding out another fruit to Shen Gongbao.
Shen Gongbao: (ಥ_ಥ)
This time, Shen Gongbao was wiser. For his life, he forced a smile, came before Qin Chuan, squeezed his eyes shut, and reluctantly took the fruit into his mouth, then began to eat.
“Tasty?” Qin Chuan asked.
Shen Gongbao: “Awoooo~~~”༼༎ຶᴗ༎ຶ༽
(Translation: Damn, it’s really good~~~༼༎ຶᴗ༎ຶ༽)
“If it’s good, then eat more. There’s plenty.” Qin Chuan held out a fruit in each hand.
Seeing Qin Chuan’s devilish smile...
Shen Gongbao’s spirit instantly collapsed. Someone, please take this demon away! (ಥ﹏ಥ)
The little troublemaker is terrifying.
“Wow! Forgive me for laughing so shamelessly.”
“Qin Chuan’s livestream is going to make me laugh until I spit.”
“Let’s mourn Shen Gongbao for three minutes.”
“Poor Shen Gongbao, a carnivore forced to become a herbivore.”
“Little Qin Chuan is amazing—treating the national fortune game like a joke, riding forbidden zone monsters as mounts. Stay away from him or you’ll get knocked down in a flash.”
“Young man, you’re talented. I suggest you make a song out of this.”
