Chapter 997: Chapter 531 Bringing the Tiger Home_3

For a full six months, the fervor for this incident never cooled down, overshadowed by another piece of news.

As Yan Fei sat in the back of the truck feeling gloomy all the way, when they reached the West Bridge at Sancha River and the vehicle slowed down, he approached the driver and asked him to stop.

The car behind them also stopped immediately, and seeing that Yan Fei was about to pull the tiger off the truck, Xu Xiaoyan asked him what he was doing.

Yan Fei’s face was full of disdain. "No wonder Tiger Da took a dislike to this one, I need to take it down to the river for a bath. You guys go ahead; I’ll be back soon."

Wild animals inevitably carry a bit of a scent, especially those in zoos. No matter how often a small cage is cleaned, it can’t eliminate the odor. While at the zoo, Yan Fei was too embarrassed to make a lot of suggestions, but now that he had spent a journey with the tiger he had named ’Tiger Si,’ he really couldn’t stand it anymore.

Seeing his disgusted expression, Xu Xiaoyan thought about the smell she had caught near the tiger enclosure, then thought about his almost inhuman sense of smell and couldn’t help laughing. "Well, be careful, walk along the river, and try not to scare anyone."

"Uh-huh!" Yan Fei waved his hand and removed the iron chain from Tiger Da’s neck, only holding onto Tiger Si as he made his way down the small path at the head of the bridge, walking along the riverbank into the distance.

Watching the figure of the man with two tigers bounding across the fields, Xiao Qin’s eyes shone with envy, wishing he could ’replace’ him.

Yan Fei, leading the tiger, of course, wouldn’t bathe it in the river. The river water was still cold now, and while normal tigers might not mind it, who knew whether the malnourished Tiger Si would be afraid or not?

At a recess along the downstream part of the river, he led the two tigers onto Vegetable Garden Island.

No sooner had Tiger Da entered than he behaved very sensibly, knowing to lie down in the stream below the water hole. As for Tiger Si, Yan Fei had to forcefully press it down into the water, then let Tiger Da watch over it to prevent it from moving.

He then poured half a bag of laundry detergent on its body and grabbed a large brush to start scrubbing it—although it wasn’t pleased. Unlike Tiger Da who shamelessly approached, begging to be brushed as if it were a dog rather than a tiger, shaking its head and wiggling for Yan Fei’s attention.

Yan Fei couldn’t be bothered with it; as soon as the creature entered the "dinosaur world," it went wild with excitement. Even though the animals it saw weren’t the ones it had seen growing up, nothing could dampen its enthusiasm in the forest.

It took two applications of laundry detergent on Tiger Si to finally get it clean. Of course, this process included some forceful compliance due to Tiger Si’s lack of cooperation.

After all that effort, Tiger Si seemed resigned to its fate. When it was led back, Xiao Qin marveled at how docile Tiger Si appeared, as tame as a little kitten, "Old Uncle Wu really got it right this time, sending the tiger to you was definitely the right choice..."

That’s obvious. Even if a Tyrannosaurus rex had been delivered, Yan Fei could have trained it just like a guard dog.

Xiao Qin’s words soon lost their appeal; Yan Fei looked as if he couldn’t care less.

So Xiao Qin added, "Don’t worry, Boss Yan, when I get back, I’ll definitely rush Old Wu to take care of what he promised you sooner, and oh, about the expenses, we’ll make sure he provides reimbursement. Just prepare the receipts on your end..."

That’s more like it!

All the talk in the world is useless without something tangible—while Yan might not care for the benefits, to turn down something offered would be just plain foolish!
