Whine~
The white albino panda responded softly with two sentences.
But instead of lowering its head, it shyly yet curiously stared at Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng's heart was filled with joy. As long as this little one wasn't shy, things would be much easier.
Otherwise, even communicating would be a hassle.
Seeing this scene, the online viewers were amused.
"Um... This is the first time I've seen a streamer ask someone's name right off the bat. Our host is a real straightshooter."
"Haha, and it's a panda he's asking!"
"Looks like this white albino panda isn't too shy either."
"Maybe it's because bun is around. Otherwise, it probably wouldn't dare come out."
The white albino panda's response also delighted the viewers.
This rare white panda was already a precious sight, and they couldn't risk anything happening to it.
At that moment, seeing its friend call out, the nearby bun happily called out as well.
The two differently colored pandas had completely contrasting personalities.
Not only was bun a little glutton, but it also had a big heart.
If Jiang Feng hadn't unintentionally mentioned its friend today, bun probably wouldn't have remembered this albino panda.
Jiang Feng realized then that this albino panda must be too shy to venture out of the bamboo grove.
Otherwise, it would have found bun long ago.
Jiang Feng squatted down, smiling as he petted bun, then reached out to pet the albino panda as well.
The albino panda instinctively shied away but hesitated for a moment before allowing Jiang Feng to place his hand on its head.
It tilted its small head, staring at Jiang Feng with great curiosity.
As Jiang Feng stroked it, the albino panda slowly closed its eyes.
It wore an expression of bliss.
That smile was incredibly healing, instantly brightening one's mood.
It stood in stark contrast to bun's grin beside it.
Bun grinned wide and uninhibited, while the albino panda smiled with its mouth closed.
Jiang Feng's heart settled.
It seemed this albino panda had gradually accepted him.
"You're so white. How about I call you Yuan Xiao?"
Jiang Feng spoke up, taking the liberty of naming the albino panda.
The panda, in the midst of enjoying the petting, was stunned. It opened its eyes and stared dazedly at Jiang Feng.
Clearly, it didn't understand what he meant.
Jiang Feng realized this little one's intelligence might not match bun's.
After all, bun had "evolved" once before.
So he pointed at bun, "Bun, you explain it to her."
Following Jiang Feng's instruction, bun immediately started whining at the albino panda with its mouth agape.
The albino panda, however, just cocked its head in confusion as it watched bun.
It wasn't until a while later that the albino panda finally understood the meaning.
It raised its small head, its small mouth closed and eyes squinted in a smile as it gazed at Jiang Feng.
Although it didn't understand the meaning of "Yuan Xiao," it quite liked the name.
"Are we settling on that name already?"
"I'm really curious why you didn't call it Tangyuan."
"If you called it Tangyuan, you'd just ask why not Yuan Xiao again, you nitpicker."
"I think Yuwanr would work, since they all look about the same anyway."
"Ah yes, yes, yes!"
"Let's just go with Yuan Xiao. I quite like it!"
The viewers chimed in with their own comments.
They hadn't expected Jiang Feng to decide on the albino panda's name so quickly.
Jiang Feng finally felt at ease, as it seemed the albino panda had truly accepted him.
Then all that was left was to take Yuan Xiao back with him.
"Bun, shall we take your friend Yuan Xiao back with us?"
Jiang Feng petted bun's small head as he spoke.
Hearing Jiang Feng's words, bun excitedly whined in response.
It was clearly overjoyed.
After all, the two had always been together.
If Jiang Feng hadn't suddenly appeared, they would still be living in this bamboo grove.
Bun turned and whined at Yuan Xiao, its happy calls evident.
Hearing bun's cries, the albino panda Yuan Xiao squinted its eyes in a smile.
"Mission accomplished!"
Jiang Feng grinned as he stood up.
Then he bent over and scooped up the two little ones.
"Let's go home!"
With a panda in each arm, Jiang Feng left the others in the livestream green with envy.
Even the forestry officials felt the same.
They had only photographed albino pandas but never captured one before.
So the albino panda Jiang Feng encountered was especially significant.
"Jealous, so jealous. I want to hug a panda too."
"Is this white panda going to become a streamer too?"
"It's quite possible, since the host was the first to adopt a panda."
"Brothers, charge! Take down the host and snatch the pandas!"
"Forestry officials, come manage this! This guy has two pandas! So unfair!"
"I think the country should give each of us a panda. Me first!"
"Get lost! Why don't you ask the country to give you a wife while you're at it?!"
Meanwhile, after picking up the two pandas, Jiang Feng closed the livestream and headed out of the dark bamboo grove.
...
Soon, he emerged from the bamboo grove with the two little ones and reached the village entrance.
When the villagers lounging at the entrance saw Jiang Feng carrying two pandas, they were startled.
Good heavens, he went out and came back with another bear?
They stared at Yuan Xiao in curiosity.
It was the first time they had seen such a rare creature.
The elders gathered around, constantly asking Jiang Feng what kind of animal the white one was.
They had never seen anything like its snow-white fur before.
However, some elderly villagers mentioned seeing such white animals when they went hunting in the mountains in their youth.
As Yuan Xiao had never seen so many people before, it timidly covered its eyes with its paws, not daring to look at the crowd.
Bun, on the other hand, was much bolder.
It had already become familiar with the villagers and kept reaching out its small paws to greet them.
The villagers roared with laughter as the two little ones amused them.
"This is a white albino panda, a kind of giant panda, and bun's friend."
Jiang Feng smiled, then placed bun and Yuan Xiao in the trailer of a tractor.
He walked to the front, started the tractor, and it rumbled off toward his home.
Just as Jiang Feng was nearing home, his phone suddenly rang.
He stopped the tractor, took out his phone, and frowned upon seeing the caller.

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
