Chapter 723: Chapter 709: Sharing Snacks

"Boss, look at how they’re cajoling you, hurry up and give them a little, eating a bit less should be fine."

"Yeah, boss, look at the little bunny about to cry, so pitiful."

"Our little bear is so cute, how can you bear to let it watch and not eat?"

"..."

Seeing this, the tourists surrounding the area called out to Xia Yue, urging her to feed them.

Xia Yue gave them a helpless glance and then looked at the group of animals in front of her, only able to nod in agreement.

"You all wait here, I’m going to the Dining Hall to get what you can eat, don’t follow me, wait here." Xia Yue stood up with her own snacks and shouted at the animals that wanted to follow her.

Seeing that she wouldn’t let them follow, the animals could only sit obediently in their spots, waiting for her to come back.

"Sea Otter, watch them, don’t let them come in," Xia Yue shouted at a nearby sea otter.

"Ao, alright boss," the sea otter responded to her, rushing over to watch the group of animals.

Xia Yue entered the Pet Cabin Restaurant, got two basins, one filled with various meats, the other with various fruits.

Stacking them together, she brought them out and found a spot to put them down, separating them.

The tourists watching were shocked by her strength as they saw the abundance inside.

"That must weigh at least a hundred pounds, she’s so slim, how did she manage that?"

"A regular Hercules."

"She can definitely take on three at a time, the stuff in that basin looks so delicious, I want some too."

"Their treatment is too good, the fruit they eat is even from the resort area, I can’t even get any if I wanted to."

After marveling at her strength, they started to envy the food.

"Meat-eaters on this side, vegetarians on that side, if you eat both, start with one and if there’s some left over at the end, then you can have the other," Xia Yue shouted at the animals.

"Sea Otter, teach them how to line up." Knowing they didn’t know how to, she let the sea otter take over.

The sea otter shouted at them a few times, but they didn’t understand; their eyes, however, were glued to the food in the basins, with several pets and young wild animals drooling.

Seeing that they weren’t cooperating, the sea otter had to push them all aside, clearing space in front of the two basins. It then casually dragged two over, placing one in front of the meat and the other in front of the fruits and vegetables.

Following that, it grabbed a few more from behind and pointed at their position, instructing the remaining animals to line up behind them on their own.

The animals were clever and quickly lined up neatly.

"Great job, this is for you," Xia Yue also got a few abalones and handed them to the sea otter as a reward.

"Ao, thank you, boss," the sea otter exclaimed with delight as it took them and put them in its pocket, standing by to help her maintain order.

"Now that you’re lined up, let’s start dividing the food," Xia Yue said, wearing gloves, using one hand for the vegetables and fruits, and the other for meat, to avoid the smell of the meat affecting the taste of the fruits and vegetables.

Each pet and animal got their share, with Xia Yue allocating according to their size, more for the large ones, less for the small ones; this was just a snack, more or less didn’t matter, they still had lunch anyway.

To prevent them from eating everything in sight, the sea otter was tasked with watching them, ensuring they wouldn’t run around before finishing their food.

The sea otter ate its snacks while keeping an eye on the other animals.

"That otter is really smart. Whatever Xia Boss tells it to do, it does well," a tourist said.

"Yeah, I’m starting to think it’s possessed."

"Xia Boss is so generous, giving them such good food for free. Those meats and fruits and veggies must cost hundreds, if not thousands."

"I think these wild animals are better off here than in some conservation bureau."

"I wonder what’s going to happen. If they’re taken away, they’ll do it by the day after tomorrow at the latest. We’re leaving then too and can only come back after a week. I’m really looking forward to seeing what changes will happen here," a tourist said.

"Me too," another chimed in.

"Xia Boss, with the temporary closure of the resort area, what changes are you planning?" A bold tourist shouted at Xia Yue.

"I can’t tell you now. If I did, there’d be no surprise. Just keep an eye on our official accounts on various platforms; we will post some news," Xia Yue said with a mysterious smile, letting their curiosity brew. It’s more fun if they find out later, isn’t it?

The tourists grew even more curious, trying to coax more information out of Xia Yue, but she just wouldn’t spill, eventually saying nothing at all.

Poor her, she never liked interacting with strangers. Now she had to respond to so many questions, but considering these folks were paying customers, which meant more Cosmic Coins for her, she had to grin and bear it.

Realizing they were just going around in circles with their questions, she stopped responding.

She had previously sent a message to Zheng Tang, asking him to make a sign, which the robot had since delivered.

Xia Yue placed the sign in the most visible spot on the lawn, stood beside it, and said to the tourists outside the wall, "Pay attention to the words on the sign. Don’t touch the animals anymore; otherwise, they’ll end up as unwanted orphans."

"I did a quick search, and touching them a bit shouldn’t be a problem," a tourist called out.

"If everyone touches ’just a bit,’ is it still just a bit?" Xia Yue said, exasperated.

"But they can just be washed, right?" another tourist suggested.

"These are wild animals, not pets. And they’re not privately owned by me," Xia Yue replied.

She wanted to touch the cubs too; they were so cute. But she just thought about it because, in her view, the best way to care for these cuties was to stay away and not touch them casually.

If they grew up encountering poachers, and saw them as friendly humans with no guard up, that could be deadly for them.

That’s why she had earlier asked Xuanxuan to hurry and call these cubs’ parents to come and take them away.

Tourists came and went since they also wanted to enjoy other entertainment activities. With the resort area closing temporarily in two days, they thought they might as well see the animals then.

Lunchtime, and Yan Mo was the one who brought food to Xia Yue.

"How’s it going? They haven’t caused any trouble, have they?" Yan Mo asked Xia Yue as she ate, glancing over at the animals on the lawn.

"No, they haven’t. Apart from wanting snacks when I was eating, I just took some from the Dining Hall and gave it to them, and they’ve been quiet since. They just finished lunch and are resting on the lawn," Xia Yue shook her head and swallowed her food before answering.

"That’s good. I’ve already talked to the Leader of Old Wang and his team. We’ll keep the animals here, and if they want to leave, they can. We’ll just notify them," Yan Mo told her.

"I think that’s fine. After all, we have the Pet House, and it can support them. I don’t have to worry, as long as we make sure they don’t run out and scare people," Xia Yue nodded.
