Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 273 Xiaomi's Massage Ability

"Don't say it, don't say it!"

"Then don't say anything, meow~"

At this moment, inside the 'Zhemo Mang's' inner quarters, Chen Nian sat alone in a large clump of grass.

The grass nest is carefully woven from hay and soft cotton, fluffy and spacious, with its edges slightly concave.

This grass nest was originally Ling Xiaomang's usual cat bed.

It has a rich, cheesy snow leopard flavor.

But now Chen Nian has forcefully taken over!
what?
You asked where Ling Xiaomang sleeps?

Of course, she was in Chen Nian's arms!

The little guy has now completely abandoned his zookeeper and thrown himself into Chen Nian's arms.

Who could resist the warmth and sense of security that Chen Nian's embrace offered!

Chen Nian's close contact with Ling Xiaomang was much easier than she had imagined.

Because Xiaomi made a move!
What was supposed to be a gradual, step-by-step process of building a close relationship was completely ruined by Xiaomi's single paw.

It only happened while Ling Xiaomang was enjoying Chen Nian's massage.

It quietly jumped onto Ling Xiaomang's head.

Then it pressed down with a claw.

Instantly, Ling Xiaomang's eyes became much clearer.

He immediately disregarded the fact that his zookeeper was right next to him, stood up and snuggled into Chen Nian's arms, whimpering as he did so.

Months of wilderness training and the treatment of serious injuries forged his resilient character.

Shattered in this moment!
Like a child who has been lost for a long time and suffered all kinds of grievances, finally found his mother and buried himself in the deepest part of Chen Nian's arms without a care.

For a moment, Ling Xiaomang kept acting cute and coquettish!

Chen Nian was shocked when she saw this.

Holy crap! Xiaomi, when did you get this ability?!

Xiao Mi remained completely calm and composed throughout.

Its little paws patted Ling Xiaomang's head reassuringly, then it sat down lightly like a weightless feather: 'Don't get me wrong, we didn't brainwash it, meow~'

'I just slightly altered your scent to make it think of your mother.'

'But this only applies to Ling Xiaomang, meow~'

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian nodded thoughtfully.

He recalled Ling Xiaomang's background.

This child, it is said, was abandoned by his mother when he was not even two months old. He struggled to survive in the cruel wilderness. When he was extremely hungry, he risked breaking into a herder's home to look for food, but he accidentally broke his spine and almost lost his life.

Fortunately, the herder recognized the identity of this "King of the Snow Mountains".

They immediately contacted the Nishino Wildlife Conservation Center.

Ling Xiaomang received timely medical treatment and was spared from death.

Clearly, Ling Xiaomang, who has had such a difficult life, has an extraordinary longing for and lack of maternal love and security deep in her heart.

What Xiaomi did was simply to subtly touch this deeply hidden heartstring.

This will greatly shorten the process.

This quickly established a closer relationship between Chen Nian and Ling Xiaomang.

Although it only works on Ling Xiaomang, Chen Nian is already satisfied!
This saved him a lot of time.

He looked down at the little one curled up so obediently in his arms, and the softest part of his heart was deeply touched.

"Poor little guy."

Chen Nian stretched out her slender fingers and gently stroked Ling Xiaomang's forehead.

There were a few tufts of hair there, which looked a little messy from crawling around earlier.

Feeling the softness of the downy hairs on her fingertips and the warmth at the base, Chen Nian looked down and exchanged a glance with Ling Xiaomang.

He nodded gently: "Don't worry, I'll make sure you get better as soon as possible."

After speaking, Chen Nian adjusted her posture.

He lifted his buttocks and sat on the wooden board next to him, then put his knees together and held Ling Xiaomang upright in the middle of his knees.

This position makes massage easier.

Ling Xiaomang's long tail gently wrapped around Chen Nian's waist.

Trust and reliance. Chen Nian maintained this posture as she began her formal massage therapy session for the day.

His hand gently caressed Ling Xiaomang's back.

Chen Nian's muscles were still a bit tense from yesterday's fright, so she needed to calm them down before she could proceed with a deeper massage.

'Let me help you too, meow~'

Xiaomi was unusually active today.

As Chen Nian massaged Ling Xiaomang's waist, its little paws also pressed down on the little guy's tail.

Pressing it like kneading a breast.

If Chen Nian can do it, then Xiaomi certainly can too.

Moreover, the effect was even better than Chen Nian's, making Ling Xiaomang so comfortable that she bent over with her buttocks sticking out.

"Goodness! Such a strong reaction?"

Of course, meow~

Xiaomi chuckled smugly, its tail tip wagging back and forth in front of Chen Nian.

Chen Nian couldn't help but blow on it.

The golden bell jingled.

Then he laughed and said, "How about you give me a massage sometime?"

'No problem, meow~ As long as you help these two little guys recover, I'll give you a massage!'

"make a deal!"

The thought of enjoying a massage from the kitten's paws made Chen Nian's eyes light up.

My fingers pressed the keys more nimbly!
In order to allow the force to penetrate and alleviate Ling Xiaomang's deeper injuries, Chen Nian's expression became much more serious. His palms slowly and forcefully rubbed from the shoulder blades all the way down to the lower back, repeating the motion repeatedly with an almost devout patience.

The pressure was also stronger than usual during a massage.

Boo.
Perhaps the pressure had hit a sore spot, because Ling Xiaomang let out a soft moan.

The forelimb paw pads tightened involuntarily, and the sharp, hook-shaped claws that were originally hidden in the soft flesh ball suddenly protruded a little bit.

Chen Nian could clearly feel a series of stinging pains coming from her legs.

But the expression on his face did not change at all.

Even the rhythm of the massage wasn't disrupted.

He simply used his left hand to gently rub the base of Ling Xiaomang's furry ear, his voice low and soothing.

"Be good, just bear with it. Press here a few more times, and it won't hurt anymore."

嘤~
As if she understood, Ling Xiaomang responded with an even softer, more guttural voice.

The outstretched claws immediately and silently retracted, disappearing back into the thick fur.

After that, no matter which spot Chen Nian pressed that might cause soreness, it never extended its paw again, only occasionally letting out a few soft whimpers from its nostrils.

"So good~"

Looking at the resilient Ling Xiaomang, Chen Nian's smile deepened.

He focused intently on massaging each acupoint of Ling Xiaomang, knowing that to achieve better results, he had to adjust the pressure and duration.

This requires a lot of patience.

Gradually, Chen Nian became completely immersed in the treatment process.

The technique is becoming more and more sophisticated.

His world seemed to consist only of the life beneath his fingertips that needed his comfort.

Xiaomi had already stopped and floated back onto Chen Nian's shoulder, looking at him with a smile.

'You've improved again, meow~ So happy, Cola~'

For a moment, the inner room became extremely quiet.

All that could be heard was a faint rustling sound as the fingertips rubbed against the thick hair, like a silkworm eating leaves, gentle and continuous.

Even Ling Xiaomang, who had been snoring contentedly, gradually fell silent.

His breathing became increasingly long and even.

Take a closer look.

Hey!
The little one is already fast asleep!
The sunlight shifted its position, casting a large patch of light directly over it and Chen Nian. The warm temperature seeped into every hair, adding a touch of drowsy magic to the already lazy and comfortable atmosphere.

This tranquility and warmth also deeply touched another resident in the inner quarters.

(As usual, first come, first served!)
