After Turning Into An Animal, I Rely On My Face To Make A Living

Chapter 51: ◎Antarctic Sweet Girl Adélie (17)◎



There were penguins chirping in her ears while she was sleeping. It was still a very subtle buzzing sound, which was hard to hear but very annoying.

Just as the little penguin was about to open her eyes and scold these unethical geese, she was given a few soothing pats on the back, and she could only reluctantly continue to sleep.

She doesn't know what happened, but at a certain moment, all the gossips suddenly fell silent and then fell into a long silence.

Finally, there was no noise pollution, and Shi Qiao had a good sleep contentedly.

After waking up, her face was filled with the fragrant smell of the boss. The little penguin stretched out in a good mood. As soon as she turned her head, she realized that the three penguins looked at her with very complicated eyes, mixed with a hint of enlightenment.

The little penguin was looked at inexplicably.

It was like a wild monkey suddenly turning into a human being. All the geese were drunk and they were alone. Looking at her felt like looking at the least enlightened one.

Shi Qiao was not interested in their thoughts and activities, so she rubbed herself against the big boss next to her. As expected, it was best to sleep with the big boss next to her.

The most leisurely time is when they have just woken up and have not had time to set off. The Adélies each comb their feathers that are messy during sleep, combing the front and back. The little penguin also helped the big man smooth out the white fur that was messed up by her with her beak and took advantage of it to stick to it.

She felt that the boss smelled better these days than before.

With the experience of the previous world, Shi Qiao is no longer a naive penguin with zero experience. She knows that the strong smell of pheromones means that the breeding season is coming.

This kind of smell can generally only be distinguished by the same kind. Sometimes the opposite sex will also rely on the smell to decide their mate choice, and those who don't smell good will be ignored.

Shi Qiao didn't know what the aroma of the boss smelled like to other Adélie. Anyway, his smell was similar to that of Nepeta Cataria from Leopard World, which was fragrant and heady.

It's not a very pungent scent, it's still as refreshing as ever, but it just makes the goose want to stick it on all the time.

Thinking that she was surrounded by male Adélie, it was too obvious that she was eating the boss's tofu, so Shi Qiao forcibly pulled her head out and pretended that nothing happened.

There are already a considerable number of Adélies on the ice. The little penguin roughly counted them and felt that there were a few more than before going to bed yesterday. They must have joined in after she fell asleep.

There are more than 20 penguins, not a single female, all of them are single males. The other female Adélie is still on the way to look for food, but she wants to follow the big man's footsteps and return to the blind date square first.

Shi Qiao herself, a female, was very conspicuous among the male dating group.

It's like a sweet-smelling, soft, and cute girl got mixed in among a group of rough old men.

As a result, these Adélie squawking voices subconsciously restrained themselves a little, trying to look civilized and polite.

Some male penguins have just noticed her and look at the little female with a bit of surprise.

It stands to reason that the female would go back later to give the male time to build a good stone nest and accumulate wealth of small stones. This little penguin didn't know what was going on.

But they were surprised, and soon they thought about it.

Maybe the other person is the kind of goose who doesn't value property!

These days, it's hard to find Adélie who doesn't care about the size of the stone. What's more, she looks so good-looking and her voice is super sweet, which is completely in line with all Adélie aesthetics.

Some Adélies were already ready to move, and they crowded around while swimming, trying to get closer to the little penguin.

After crossing hundreds of kilometers of ice and snow fields to reach the coast where it is convenient to return to their hometown, the Adélie randomly sacrificed two good brothers to help them go into the sea to detect whether there were any natural enemies. After confirming that it was safe, they went into the sea one after another.

Shi Qiao found that as she swam, the area around her became crowded.

This is the sea, and it's not a one-way road. It's outrageous why a goose can't swim around but come to squeeze her.

Shi Qiao wagged her tail and secretly speeded up. She swam to Klein, who was one step ahead of her and said to him: "Penguins keep coming and squeezing me. Let's swim faster and get rid of them."

Maybe these evil-minded male Adélies are deliberately excluding females.

Seeing too many grumpy old geese, Shi Qiao thought to herself that if it weren't for the inconvenience of fighting in the sea, she would definitely go there and let them have a taste of their power.

Klein glanced at the nonchalant male Adélie behind him and felt that his mood had become a lot more irritable.

He could see what these penguins who couldn't hide anything were planning, but the little penguin around him didn't know anything about it yet.

There is no other way. The route back to the breeding ground is the closest and takes the shortest swimming time. There is no way to avoid these males who have their own agenda.

After swimming behind the little penguin to block the view of other penguins, Klein increased his speed and led the little penguin away from these dangerous male Adélies.

If he hadn't wanted to return to the colony as soon as possible, he could have chosen not to go on the road with these penguins, but if he had a few days later, he would easily lost the best location for nesting.

They set out from the rugged coast of Antarctica, and then return from the coast to the edge of the continent where they were born, where they build nests, lay eggs, and reproduce.

Shi Qiao migrated with Klein and the penguin army, which numbered up to one million. They spent five months in the sea and on the ice on the coastal edge in the winter and then returned to their hometown in the spring to find the dry land.

Shi Qiao was completely led away by the experienced penguin.

She seemed to be equipped with a Big Brother motor in the water. It felt like she was being carried and swam by the opponent, which was much less labor-intensive than swimming by herself.

They both eat seafood, but she doesn't know why the other party has endless energy.

The little penguin could catch up with the opponent with less than half of its strength. It was just a salted fish in the sea. The return journey had just begun, and the sea was like a blue grassland with no visible edge.

Shi Qiao thought of the Great Migration of the Grasslands. At that time, there was no pressure and she could stop and go. Now she is anxious to go back and find a way to defeat the big boss, and she is unwilling to delay too long on the road.

It was rare for the penguin next to her to be so patient. It seemed that the journey was still far away. Thinking about the long journey ahead, the little penguin began to get tired in advance.

If there wasn't Klein by her side, she probably wouldn't follow the rules and go back to some settlement. It would be great to be free and happy in a warm place, but what's the point of going back to huddle together and listen to the Adélie screaming?

It's different now.

Even though she knew she would lose a lot of weight when she swam back, she still had to grit her teeth and persevere. As expected, love blinds the goose.

But without Klein, it would be difficult for her to survive until now, let alone have time to think about it now.

After thinking about it, Shi Qiao still felt that she didn't have to worry about anything because she had a big boss by her side. The only thing she had to worry about now was how she would tell Klein that the cub he raised was no longer innocent after returning to the settlement.

The little penguin entered the thinking mode while swimming and automatically turned into the penguin pendant on the big man's flipper.

The three Adélie behind were almost invisible while looking at this one-on-one scene.

When they were still innocent before, they would only think that a certain Adélie was really crazy about petting cub. Now they can only feel sour.

Once they hit the sea, they have to swim for a long time. If they get hungry during this period, they have to dive down to try their luck, and they will also waste some time on foraging. Now is the only opportunity to forage before nesting, and the Adélie use every opportunity to fish and catch shrimps.

They still have to eat when they can, especially since such a migration consumes so much energy.

Even though Shi Qiao was swimming with the help of a goose, she was already tired and hungry after a quarter of the distance, and now a killer whale wanted to chase after them and gnaw on them.

Although the journey back was more urgent than when they left the colony, the penguins could not keep spinning. After eating, they quickly swam to a place with ice to rest.

At this time, the Adélie seemed particularly serious. They gathered together and took care of themselves in silence. They were probably too tired to even talk.

Compared to the male Adélie who swims purely on their own, Shi Qiao looks stronger.

She shook the seawater on her feathers, and the water droplets rolled off the slippery black and white feathers, shaking the faces of other penguins.

Seeing those Adélie flapping their flippers and ducking aside, Shi Qiao felt much more comfortable.

If she hadn't been too tired now, she would have wanted to talk to some penguins she didn't like. The bad guy penguin's way of relieving stress was to transfer the stress to other penguins.

But among a group of penguins whose faces were drooping from exhaustion, there was a male who looked like a special penguin soldier.

Klein looked as if nothing happened, as if he was a penguin who had just swum 70 to 80 kilometers and still had enough energy to take care of his own feathers before smoothing down the feathers of the little female next to him.

It attracted other males to look at him sideways.

This penguin is so terrifying.

Not only is his physical strength terrifying, but he also has many tricks on his mind! 

He actually took this opportunity to flatter the only little female among them, so scheming.

If they hadn't been too lazy to move, they would have shown off in front of her.

The opportunity to show off in front of the sweet girl was fleeting. What made the males jealous was that the little female was really good at helping to take care of his feathers, and she nuzzled her head on him in front of everyone, making the other Adélie shudder.

For some reason, Shi Qiao just rubbed against the boss, and all the penguins stopped what they were doing and looked up.

She bent her flippers over and placed them on her waist, staring back with an imposing look.

If you look at us again, I'm going to beat you up.

Unexpectedly, her intimidating eyes had the opposite effect. Instead, the male Adélie who was glared at was gosling in his heart. He couldn't help but sigh, how cute, how can a goose be so cute when she is angry?!

This little female is certainly the goose of their dreams.

Sweet and spicy, soft and cute on the outside but strong on the inside, it completely touched Adélie heart.

——I really want to be beaten by the other party.

All the males thought so at that moment.

(Note: Um? It seems that she has opened a new door for them)

If Shi Qiao could hear the thoughts of these penguins, she would definitely feel that they were shaking M.

However, now, the little penguin, who is unaware of the situation, only thinks that these grumpy old geese have expressions of "come and beat me up" on their faces. This is a clear provocation.

Unfortunately, now was not a good time for a fight. She had to save her energy for the journey tomorrow and was too lazy to get to know them. Shi Qiao turned her face, buried herself in the boss's chest, and took a breath, which made her feel much better.

The white fur on the penguin's chest is fragrant and soft, and the chest is also softly compressed. Thinking about it this way, it's still a little harp.

Shi Qiao quickly pulled her head out in a serious manner and pretended to help him comb his feathers. She also gave him a few symbolic pecks and quietly rubbed him twice.

She thought that her concealing behavior did not attract the attention of the boss, but when she raised her head, she saw that the boss was looking at her quietly, with a smile in his eyes.

The skin under the little penguin's fur immediately turned red.

There is nothing more embarrassing than being caught red-handed while eating tofu.

She dropped her head directly, leaned on the other person's stomach, and began to fall asleep. As long as she fell asleep quickly enough, embarrassment would not catch up with her.

Little did she know that after she fell asleep, some male penguins began to look in her direction secretly. As a result, the little penguin was blocked tightly by a bully Adélie, who also gave them threatening looks.

The male penguins looked at their "love rivals" with eyes that almost made them spit fire.

This is really unreasonable.

A certain penguin actually took advantage of the fact that they didn't have the strength to show off his male charms and approached the little females first. They can feel their intestines getting twisted!

It's a pity that they don't have much physical strength now and can't display their usual skills. They can only watch the two penguins sleeping next to each other in an incompetent and furious way, secretly thinking that when they return to the colony, it's time for them to show off their skills.

With this idea in mind, the Adélie work extra hard every day on their way.

As more returning males joined in, the group grew larger, eventually expanding to a colony of more than a hundred penguins.

In addition to them, more males are rushing towards their hometown. The penguins who arrive first will stay on the shore for a while, and wait for the team to be long enough to set off again.

After a lot of hard work along the way, they finally arrived at the settlement that was still far away from them.

Seeing the familiar continental edge ice, the Adélies rushed over as fast as possible and jumped onto the shore. Then they no longer had to swim and spent the rest of their time on land.

Shi Qiao mingled with the male Adélie and became the first female little penguin to come to the colony.

When you reach the continental edge, you have to walk about a hundred kilometers on the ground to find the long slope. At this time, the inland ice and snow melt, exposing the dark soil under the snow, making it easier for Adélies to find stones to build their nests and attract females with their outstanding architectural quality and stone assets.

The low-quality penguins, who usually seem inconspicuous, showed extraordinary ability to memorize routes and walked methodically towards the breeding ground. The penguins' memory is still outstanding, although it has been manifested in holding grudges before.

Shi Qiao was so tired that she sat down on the ground halfway through and didn't want to keep walking.

She had just waded through water and climbed mountains. Including swimming, she had walked almost hundreds of kilometers. She didn't even encounter a ship along the way and didn't even have a chance to catch a favorable wind. Her physical strength was exhausted.

As soon as she stopped, the Adélie behind her also stopped, quacking incomprehensibly, and asking why she didn't keep walking.

Klein walked a few meters away, heard the cry, and turned around to pick up the other person.

Shi Qiao didn't want to get up for a while and didn't care whether her butt was freezing on the ground. She simply leaned to the side and rested for ten minutes.

She thought the boss would come over and tell her to get up quickly and keep walking, but she didn't expect the other party to stand still after walking to her side. Klein barked at the noisy penguins behind, successfully shutting up these grumpy penguins who complained a lot.

The group of Adélie all stopped and were forced to rest in place for ten minutes with the little penguin.

The boss was so considerate that Shi Qiao was embarrassed to be paralyzed. Within five minutes, she got up from the ground, shook off the ice and snow residue stuck to her body, and regrouped.

"Let's go."

Klein glanced at the other party and asked why she didn't want to take more rest.

Shi Qiao shook her head. She would stop resting. If there were only those screaming penguins behind her, she might really stop moving. But Klein didn't even urge her, but instead gave her strength.

When the little penguin got up and started on the road again, the large army returned to normal and orderly operation.

Along the coast and through the inland, they reach familiar territory. There are still some emperor penguin chicks that have not finished molting on the ice nearby.

As soon as they arrived at the breeding ground, these bully Adélies showed their true colors and used all the fatigue of the long journey and the arrogance of eagerness to occupy the territory on the emperor penguins.

In front of the tall emperor penguin chicks, Adélie is a petite and macho man. They are small in stature, but their fighting power and ferocity are definitely not small. They make those emperor penguins run around.

The emperor penguin chicks, which still have a lot of down on their bodies, cannot dive even if they go into the water. They can only float on the surface of the sea. They are ridiculously big and look pitiful.

Compared to the shameless Adélie, these emperor penguins are honest children who are easy to bully.

But there was nothing they could do. Without driving away these groups of emperor penguins, Adélie had no place to build a nest and lay eggs. They came to the colony early and could only wait.

Shi Qiao watched a few males flapping their flippers and bluffing all the emperor penguins into the sea. They were left to explore the road behind, and the Adélie were about to return to their hometown happily.

The black mass of male penguins swarmed into the dry land, like ghosts entering a village, quickly seizing their favorite nesting sites.

The ground on this slope has melted the ice and snow by the warm wind, and what is now exposed is the ground mixed with small stones. The small stones in the middle that are relatively regular in shape and suitable for construction have become the treasures that the male Adélie fights for.

It was very different from the scene in the documentary. In just a few minutes, Shi Qiao witnessed several male Adélie fighting over a stone.

Some of the quick ones have already taken a good position and accumulated several small stones. After covering the bottom of the nest with some modifications and polishes, it will be a love nest that can attract female partners.

Shi Qiao was still watching the Adélie stealing from each other, while on the other side, Klein had already chosen the location where he wanted to settle down.

This place is still on an upper slope and is much quieter than the messy place below. He doesn't like to get involved with those Adélie, and the place is too corner and inconvenient to travel. Combining several points, he finally chose an uphill location closer to the estuary.

Shi Qiao figured out the architectural styles of other penguins and was not very impressed with the male's rough aesthetics.

Some penguins have jagged stones of different sizes and are not elegant at all. How can they attract females?

Little did she know that those penguins didn't consider other females at all, and was in a hurry to build a house and woo the only female little penguin present. As a result, they were just halfway through the building. When they looked back, the girl who was "appreciating" them building a nest behind them had disappeared. 

Shi Qiao was taken away by Klein.

A certain little penguin stood in a pile of male Adélie as soon as she arrived, surrounded by a group of males, which was too conspicuous. Fortunately, those penguins were in a hurry to build a house and did not have time to court a mate.

It's safer to keep her by his side.

Shi Qiao looked at the boss who was busy looking for stones in boredom, and while the other penguins were not around, she casually took one from a pit next to her and gave it to him.

The other penguins are all males who are frantically searching for pebbles and leaving them for the later females. Instead of the little penguin who is indifferent to stones, she is looking for stones to offer treasures to Klein who retains his obsession with stones.

It doesn't matter whether she got it by hand or not.

Those Adélie are bad guys. Even if she doesn't steal, they will still be stolen by other males. Shi Qiao now does bad things very confidently, and she understands Adélie principles of doing things.

As long as she has no morals, there is no way a penguin can kidnap her!

Seeing the little penguin holding a small stone in its mouth and running towards him happily, Klein stopped looking for the stone, lowered his head, and rubbed the little baby: "Take it back first."

The treasure presentation was successful, and the little penguin happily turned around and prepared to put the stone into the nesting location chosen by the other party, but the three penguins sighed in unison.

Klein glanced at the three geese and motioned for them to go back to their own business and stay out of the way.

When he builds the largest and most beautiful stone nest, he will give Thea the most comfortable nest in the entire settlement. No matter what the other party's attitude is, he will accept it calmly.

If she agrees, that's fine. If she doesn't agree, just wait until the other party agrees.

Three Goose Group: "..."

Is this called accepting it calmly?

Isn't it called stalking?

A certain penguin is truly a bully, not even showing mercy to the baby he raised with just one hand.

The three penguins chose to build a nest next to Klein as usual. They looked at the little penguin hanging around behind Klein and couldn't find a chance to gossip with her.

Because the other party is the gossip itself.

There was a bully beside her who was watching covetously. He was unwilling to let the other penguins reveal his courtship plan in advance, so he forced them to hold it in all the way!

Is this what a mouth-splitting penguin can endure?

With a big secret that they cannot tell, the three Adélie are not even as active as last year in looking for rocks. They feel that they will be suffocated to death if they don't tell the truth.

That's right, no matter how they think about it, they feel like they need to remind Thea.

The little penguin is not as clever as the bully, and she might be eaten without realizing it.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. Although Klein is the eldest brother, Thea is also the little penguin they brought up with one hand.

In their eyes, a certain little penguin didn't even know that she had been coveted, and was still helping Klein find stones. Compared to Klein, Thea was just a pure white little penguin.

The Three Goose Group finally couldn't stand it any longer, and finally took the opportunity to come over and chat with the little penguin while Klein was out looking for pebbles.

Hoover whispered to the other party: "Take advantage of this moment to find out if there is a male you like around. It's not too late to run away."

Victor didn't complain: "There is a big forest outside. If you go and look around, there will always be something suitable."

"It's just that a certain penguin has such bad tempers and is very fierce. He can also hunt geese. During the breeding season, you have to look for everything. There are many two-legged males. You can find a more docile one!"

Shi Qiao thought to herself, is there anyone docile in Adélie?

Even though they all look like firecrackers that explode at the drop of a hat, they still have the nerve to say that other geese have a bad temper.

She has been hanging around the same kind for a year, and she has never seen a penguin with a more stable mood than the boss. Some geese are just cruel to others.

"Just tell us which male you like," Koloff patted his chest, "The three of us will be responsible for kidnapping it for you."

The two penguins next to him also nodded vigorously, as if they wanted to find her a son-in-law.

Shi Qiao was still wondering why these three unattractive penguins suddenly became so considerate.

Thinking about it carefully, the three cobblers were like zhūgéliàng, so she simply asked these cobblers to help her figure out a solution.

But when she first opened her mouth to the other penguins, she was a little embarrassed. In the eyes of these penguins, she was probably just a little pervert who coveted her "male mother". It was a bit thrilling to think about it.

Seeing the little penguin pondering for a moment as if she really had a goose choice in her mind, Victor, Koloff and Hoover's eyes lit up, waiting expectantly for her to speak.

Finally, the other party seemed to have made up her mind and directly showed her cards: "Then you go and tie Klein over to me."

The three goose groups responded decisively, turned around and geared up, then paused.

Who did she say?

Klein???

Is there a second male penguin named Klein in this colony?

The three goose groups looked at each other blankly, as if they were gone.

The trio: "..."

That's how outrageous she is.

After spending so much time together, some penguins just fell in love with each other?
