Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Liang He Is Also Raised Very Well by the Fluffies

No matter what the Black Wizard thought, the animals that hadn’t taken the Animal Research Institute’s antidote successfully recovered after ingesting the cure sent by Chou the Pharmacist, safely pulling through the crisis.

[Since all the animals that fell into a poisoned coma have been gathered in another service area for treatment, I can’t show them to you on the livestream right now. The reserve’s official account will provide further updates later, so please rest assured.]

Having received the news, Liang He got in touch with Huo An through Hoder. They aligned their public statements, ensuring a proper explanation for the netizens who had been worrying about the animals.

Still, some netizens questioned the authenticity of her claims, suspecting she was deliberately saying this on stream just to conveniently shift the blame to the Rebel Army.

[Who knows if you just grabbed a random group of animals and claimed they were the cured ones just to fool us?]

[Exactly! There are so many animals in the reserve, and we have no idea which ones actually fell into a coma. If you just grabbed some healthy animals to use as a cover-up, we’d be none the wiser!]

[Come on, why are you guys so contrarian? When the animals were in a coma, you accused the reserve of conducting illegal research or gross negligence. Now that they’re awake, you suspect it’s all fake. Why don’t you just suspect the whole world is fake while you’re at it?!]

[Feels like some people have consumed so many conspiracy theories that they’ve lost all basic human trust. Use your brains, please! If the reserve were actually running illegal experiments, would the Federation really be sitting on their hands right now? The director would be the very first one held accountable!]

Seeing the netizens about to start arguing again, Liang He rubbed her temples, a headache coming on.

The sharp-eyed Lanton quickly flew to the side and fetched Liang He’s thermos with his beak, offering her some hot water to soothe her throat and help her relax.

"Thank you, Lanton."

Liang He took the thermos from the Canglan Hunting Eagle. Instead of drinking right away, she gently stroked the bird’s little head, smoothing out his feathers. Only then, under his eager gaze, did she take a couple of sips.

"SCREECH~"

He was practically begging for praise.

"Wow, my throat feels so much better after drinking the water Lanton brought me."

Never one to skimp on affection, Liang He completely ignored the billions of netizens watching the livestream, interacting lovingly with the Canglan Hunting Eagle as if they were the only two in the room.

Seeing this, the other furries immediately grew jealous. They scrambled to find any way possible to earn Liang He’s praise as well.

"AWOO~"

The first to react was, of course, Cedriel. He offered himself up as a giant cushion, allowing Liang He to lean comfortably against him while she streamed so she wouldn’t get too tired.

The newcomer, Yin Qi, seemed to be quickly adapting to this competition for affection. He turned himself into a living foot-warmer, draping himself over Liang He’s feet to keep them toasty, absolutely refusing to take no for an answer.

"Um... Yin Qi, my feet aren’t actually cold..."

"ROAR..."

He stared up at her with a terribly wronged expression.

"Alright, alright. Thank you for warming my feet."

Completely defenseless against pouting, pitiful-acting furries, Liang He was unsurprisingly wrapped around his little finger.

The Platinum Giant Lion, having been a step too slow, saw that Liang He already had a foot-warmer in front and a backrest behind. Left with no other options, he gently fetched a small blanket and thoughtfully draped it over her.

Instantly overheating, Liang He wore an expression of utterly helpless indulgence toward her furries, making the livestream viewers roar with laughter.

[Alright, alright. Here we are fighting for our lives in the comments, and they’re pulling this cute stunt? Fine, I give up. Keep it coming, I love watching this!]

[LMAO! Isn’t there a thermostat system indoors? The Breeder is getting flushed from the heat! The love of these furries is just too intense, haha!]

[I could watch this exact scene all day! Does anyone else get it? The way these furries get jealous and secretly compete with each other is just too cute!]

[Huh? One, two, three, four... wait, I don’t see Kuang Ye. Where did he go?]

The Mengji Snow Leopard, finally remembered by the netizens, was currently trotting toward Liang He with a plastic bag dangling from his jaws.

"MEOW!"

Seeing that her heating needs were already fully covered, the Mengji Snow Leopard came up with a different strategy. He brought over a bag of snacks, preparing to feed his two-legged beast.

Unfortunately, what he didn’t realize was that these were the animal snacks Liang He had made specifically for them. They weren’t meant for human consumption at all... Though, since they were purely handmade with zero additives, they were technically edible for humans if absolutely necessary.

Liang He accepted the bag with a polite smile, originally intending to sneakily set it aside. However, the Mengji Snow Leopard’s expectant gaze was far too intense, leaving her no choice but to force herself to take a bite.

"Mhm... delicious. Thank you, Leopard."

After choking down the animal treat and forcing a stiff smile, Liang He discreetly tucked the rest of the snacks out of sight next to the Iron-eating Beast, silently praying the Mengji Snow Leopard would let her off the hook.

[Pfft! Who else caught that?! Liang He actually ate an animal snack just to humor Leopard! Isn’t that stuff super gamey?]

[The furries caring for their Breeder—so wholesome! The Breeder pampering her furries—also wholesome! This beautiful two-way affection... I’m obsessed!]

[Just based on the way Liang He treats them, there’s no way she would ever allow animals to be poisoned into a coma. I’m willing to believe the reserve didn’t do this intentionally. If they did, Liang He would definitely never speak up in their defense!]

[Agreed! Us veteran fans know the Fur Raising Officer’s personality. She never fakes things or plays two-faced games. If anyone dared to hurt the little animals, she’d be the first one to throw hands!]

Unexpectedly, Liang He’s wholesome interactions with the furries actually convinced the netizens to trust her words. They became willing to give the reserve a chance to explain, dropping their previously aggressive stance.

Meanwhile, Huo An, who had been closely monitoring the livestream, hadn’t been idle either. He immediately compiled the video logs—documenting everything from the initial discovery of the poisoned, comatose animals to the moment a portion of them woke up after receiving the antidote. After a quick edit, he uploaded the footage to the reserve’s official account.

Naturally, Huo An made sure to cut out any footage involving the Iron-eating Beast. Since they had publicly denied the Iron-eating Beast being poisoned and falling into a coma, they couldn’t afford to let the truth slip.

[Everyone, go look! The reserve’s official account just posted a video showing exactly what happened!]

[Omg, they look so pitiful! An entire group of animals just collapsed by the river, all in a poisoned coma from drinking the water!]

[So Lanton and the others really were the first ones to notice something was wrong! That’s incredible! If it weren’t for them, these animals might have died before anyone even found them.]

The vast majority of the netizens were quite reasonable. Once Huo An clearly laid out the entire sequence of events via the video log, they quickly came to understand the reserve’s actions. At the same time, a deep hatred ignited toward the culprit who had harmed the animals and poisoned the water supply. They fiercely demanded that the Federation catch the perpetrator as soon as possible and get justice for the animals!

[If it weren’t for the furries, there would definitely be way more victims than this. The scumbag who poisoned the water supply is absolutely despicable!]

[Those animals that mutated into Fierce Beasts are so pitiful too. It all came down to a lack of time for clinical trials. Otherwise, they could have kept living normal lives just like the rest of the animals.]

[Whoever formulated this poison is truly twisted. It was obviously a deliberate trap, exploiting everyone’s desperate desire to save the animals and forcing them to turn the creatures into Fierce Beasts with their own hands. Despicable!]
