Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

"When summer comes, I'll find some fresh mushrooms in the forest and make her a mushroom stew with gypsy dragon!"

"This is a famous dish from Northeast China, it smells amazing!"

"I wonder if Tang Li would dare to eat it. After all, she's such a scaredy-cat. She might be terrified if she saw a flying dragon! Hehehe..."

Wang Yu grinned smugly, his amber eyes full of cunning. His mind was filled with the scene of Tang Li panicking and backing away when she saw Feilong and Mushroom. The more he thought about it, the more amusing it became.

If Tang Li, far away at the zoo, knew about Wang Yuyu's outrageous and infuriating idea, she would definitely rush into the forest immediately, give him a good whack on the tiger's head, then knead his round tiger face until it's deformed, and grit her teeth, both angry and amused, send him a message:

"Thank you so much!"

"You think I'm living too freely, and you're only satisfied when you send me to jail, right?"

"You brainless, stinking tiger!"

After searching this new territory for several more days, Wang Yu still found no trace of the bear. However, he firmly marked the area with his own marks, leaving claw marks and scents on tree trunks and rocks, forcefully declaring his sovereignty.

He stood proudly atop a hill with a panoramic view, his amber eyes gazing down at the winding river at his feet, his tail swishing listlessly. "Looks like this bear doesn't hibernate here after all. Forget it, I'll give up looking!"

"Anyway, the monk can run away, but the temple can't. Let it come to me on its own!"

"I snatched such a good piece of land from them. If they find out, they'll be furious and come after me for what they deserve!"

After several days of repeated marking and meticulous patrolling, Wang Yuyu had already figured out the distribution of prey in this new territory, and was very pleased with himself.

There are five herds of wild boars and three herds of deer here, two of which are large, delicious red deer. The quantity and variety of prey far exceed his other three core territories, none of which can compare to this place.

Wang Yuyu couldn't help but smack her lips, her eyes full of satisfaction.

It has to be said that the bear managed this territory very well, raising the animals here to be plump and healthy; it was practically a "granary" tailor-made for him.

He would never give up such a prime location, no matter what, even if there was an unknown bear lurking behind it.

Since we can't give up, we can only prepare for battle. If we really run into each other, we'll have a good fight!

The winner takes all, the loser is condemned. With his strength, he might not necessarily lose to that bear.

He looked up at the distant, rolling mountains, a smug smile playing on his lips. "I hope you wake up from your hibernation soon, little bear, and hurry up and come to your death. Don't keep me waiting too long!"

"Ideally, they should rush over as soon as they wake up, hungry, that way they'll be easier to deal with."

"Don't come looking for me after you've eaten and drunk your fill and regained your strength, or you'll be in trouble. I don't want to fight a bear at full health!"

A bear that has just woken up from hibernation is hungry, exhausted, and at its weakest. This is the best time to strike and eliminate the opponent with minimal cost.

But if we wait until the bear finds food, eats its fill, and regains its fighting strength, then things will get complicated.

Kumamoto is fierce. Even if he were at full strength, it would take him a lot of effort to win, and there's no guarantee he could win. He might even get injured or die, which would be a losing proposition.

He glanced down at the setting sun in the distance, its afterglow painting the sky orange-red and casting a soft halo over the mountains and forests.

Wang Yu sighed softly and muttered, "I'll stay here more often during this time. The weather is getting warmer every day, and the snow is melting faster and faster. This bear should wake up soon."

"Take this time to familiarize yourself with the terrain, figure out how to take down this bear, and devise a perfect battle plan."

"It's time for my super intelligence to be put to use! We absolutely cannot fight a battle where we inflict heavy losses on both sides—that's too much of a loss, a losing proposition!"

After saying that, Wang Yu lay down on the hilltop, supporting its head with its front paws, its amber eyes fixed on the dense forest below, and began to think seriously as it moved its big head vigorously.

If we really encounter that bear, where should we start?

Where should we attack it first?

What are the weaknesses of a bear?

How powerful is it?

Tiger Mom never taught him how to fight a bear. He could only rely on his years of practical experience in the mountains and forests, as well as his little understanding of bears, to repeatedly rehearse the battle in his mind, simulating various possible scenarios over and over again, and figuring out the safest and most reliable way to fight, so as to ensure that he could kill the bear while protecting himself.

The more she thought about it, the more it took for her brain to process. Wang Yuyu, who had been full of energy, gradually became listless, her eyelids became heavy, and even her eyes became unfocused.

"I'm so sleepy... This mental exercise is so tiring, it's even more tiring than hunting."

He yawned widely and mumbled indistinctly, "Forget it, I'll just go to sleep and think about it when I wake up. There's no rush."

Before he could finish speaking, he rolled over and curled up on the grass. A few seconds later, he began to snore evenly and fell into a deep sleep, with a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth, as if he was still thinking about how to deal with the bear in his dream.

However, while Wang Yuyu slept soundly, Tang Li in the zoo was wide awake and overwhelmed by a mess.

Right now, she was in the woods outside the back gate of the zoo, looking at the mountain of tiger droppings in front of her. She held a shovel in her hand, huffing and puffing as she shoveled away, all the while cursing loudly at Wang Yuyu:

"Damn this iron rice bowl! Can't you at least poop further away or spread out?"

"They had to dump everything in one place, creating this mountain of shit, it stinks horribly!"

"You, on the other hand, were enjoying yourself in the forest, sleeping soundly, and now I have to come and clean up your mess!"

"Next time I see you, I'm going to spank your ass until it's ripped open, and see just how big your ass is to produce such a huge mountain!"

"..."

She grew angrier and angrier as she cursed, her hands moving faster and faster. The shovel made a "crunching" sound as it scraped against the frozen tiger droppings, her face full of disgust and grievance.

The people working alongside her listened to Tang Li's string of complaints, their faces turning red and their shoulders shaking, unable to utter a sound of laughter.

A few people couldn't resist and could only lower their heads, pretending to be seriously shoveling poop to hide their laughter.
