Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 480 - 478: Enlightened

After continuously nurturing the clouded leopards for half a month, Lin Wanwan established a bond with them through fresh meat.

Lin Wanwan started with the young leopards first. The mother clouded leopard’s milk was insufficient, so Lin Wanwan fed the two young leopards with goat milk powder, making them almost see her as another mother.

The milk-smelling little leopards had no aggression, were adorable and intelligent, constantly circling around Lin Wanwan all day.

Watching them roll around and act cute was particularly stress-relieving and comforting, allowing Lin Wanwan, who had never raised any pets, to experience the joy of raising animals.

The mother clouded leopard saw its two children growing close to Lin Wanwan, and since she too was eating and drinking from Lin Wanwan every day, she quickly succumbed to the tempting lure and became Lin Wanwan’s adorable pet, just like the little clouded leopards.

Every day they feasted on various meats like lamb, fish, rabbit, chicken in endless variety, living a life far happier than the tough survival in the forests.

Of course, the mother clouded leopard mostly remained in a cage, as Lin Wanwan didn’t dare to interact with her closely for long periods. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Little Qingyu, distracted by the two small kittens, didn’t try to compete with Lin Wanwan for the leopards’ nurturing rights.

As for Xiao Yixun, she was quite singular in her affection. Since receiving the White Fox from Lin Wanwan, she showed no interest in other animals.

Moreover, since the clouded leopard was a gift from Xiao Chong, Xiao Yixun, who harbored a grudge against him, had no intention of showing any friendliness to the clouded leopards.

So Lin Wanwan’s work as a caregiver went smoothly, and the clouded leopards she personally nurtured were starting to trust her.

The time was ripe, and Lin Wanwan decided to take them across time and space.

Of course, releasing the clouded leopards into the modern world couldn’t be done in Little Creek Town because setting them free there couldn’t be easily explained. She only made her move after returning to Lin Family Manor.

To make the leopard’s escape seem plausible, Lin Wanwan used the pretext of autumn hunting as a cover.

On the surface, she chose to assist the hunt with helpers that were neither lynx nor falcon, but clouded leopards instead.

As the authority of Lin Mansion, Lin Wanwan’s word was law. When she said she would take the clouded leopards for autumn hunting in the mountains, the family servants could only comply.

As for Little Qingyu and Xiao Yixun, they were not in a position to dictate to Lin Wanwan, as long as the news didn’t reach Lin Clan Leader’s ears, no one would intervene.

On this crisp autumn day, Lin Wanwan took the three clouded leopards and Kun Lun into the mountains to hunt.

Why take the young leopards hunting, you ask? There is no reason; Lin Wanwan simply liked it.

She was the Village Lady, the head of the household. Her word was final.

After entering the mountains, Lin Wanwan had Kun Lun wait at their usual spot.

Kun Lun was accustomed to Lin Wanwan’s mysterious actions and casually passed the time, gnawing on his large pancake and jerky while sitting on a rock.

Lin Wanwan led the well-fed mother and young clouded leopards forward. Through half a month of interaction, the one large and two small clouded leopards would no longer attack her.

However, as a precaution, that day Lin Wanwan carried a bow on her back, held a sword in her hand, and outfitted the mother clouded leopard with an iron chain around its neck and a muzzle on its mouth.

As for the two young clouded leopards, Lin Wanwan paid them little mind; such small creatures like kittens posed no threat to the immensely powerful Lin Wanwan.

With Lin Wanwan’s strength and her long-practiced moves, she could handle the scenario even if the mother leopard suddenly attacked.

Still, under normal circumstances, Lin Wanwan wouldn’t challenge such situations.

A noble body should not sit in dangerous halls.

The muzzle used for large dogs in modern times was a very handy tool, sealing most of the mother clouded leopard’s lethality.

At the secret mountain cave for crossing, Lin Wanwan initially confined the large and small clouded leopards inside, then she crossed time and space herself back to her modern villa, drove off, heading for the mountains she chose for their release.

Around Lin Wanwan’s home in Yongcheng, there were no untouched wilderness within fifty kilometers; every mountain bore marks of human development.

Faced with this, Lin Wanwan felt helpless, forced to choose the lesser evil by selecting the mountains with higher elevation, dense trees, yet relatively low human activity as the release site.

After battling through the brush to reach the summit far from the human trails, Lin Wanwan activated the Space-Time Gate again, returning to the Great Tang’s secret cave.

Confronted by the sudden appearance of the Light Gate, the mother clouded leopard was very nervous.

Following her planned method, Lin Wanwan directly hugged the two small clouded leopards in her arms, gripping her sword in one hand, and walked toward the Light Gate.

As expected, the mother clouded leopard couldn’t calmly watch Lin Wanwan leave with the young ones; its front paws tentatively reached forward, only to be pulled through the Space-Time Gate by a force.

A green radiance flashed, and one person with three leopards emerged into the modern forest.

Having passed through the Space-Time Gate, the young leopards nudged in Lin Wanwan’s arms, seemingly seeking a more comfortable position.

Meanwhile, the mother leopard, freed from chains yet still muzzled, uncharacteristically rubbed against Lin Wanwan’s leg.

Lin Wanwan could clearly feel the mother leopard’s affection and trust, an occurrence not seen before.

The mother leopard’s yellow-brown eyes had changed, exuding an inexplicable feeling that lingered in Lin Wanwan’s heart.

Lin Wanwan’s sixth sense told her that this clouded leopard seemed to have gained intelligence, its eyes glimmering with a light of wisdom.

"Huh, could this be a new evolutionary direction of the Space-Time Gate?"

Lin Wanwan furrowed her brow in contemplation for a moment, then released the young leopard, simultaneously readying her sword while cautiously removing the muzzle from the mother leopard’s mouth.

The mother leopard cooperatively had its muzzle removed, cheerfully using its head to nudge Lin Wanwan’s hand afterward.

Lin Wanwan tentatively pressed on its head and issued the command, "Sit down."

Upon hearing the command, the mother clouded leopard obediently sat down like a giant cat.

The facts were evident: the two young clouded leopards might not have changed much, but the mother leopard had undoubtedly gained intelligence.

This development made Lin Wanwan reluctant to release them!

Clouded leopard!

"Little saber-toothed tiger" clouded leopard!

Raising such a leopard would be so impressive!

After half a month of interaction, Lin Wanwan had already grown fond of the clouded leopards; this newfound intelligence only intensified her affection!

Lin Wanwan couldn’t help but crouch down, running her hand through the mother leopard’s fur.

The adult big leopard narrowed its eyes comfortably under Lin Wanwan’s touch, enjoying her service.

The two young leopards frolicked around Lin Wanwan and their mother, appearing carefree and untroubled.

Lin Wanwan continued petting for quite a while, all the while wrestling with her thoughts, ultimately deciding to set them free.

Predators shouldn’t be kept captive, and the modern society’s ecological environment needed them more than she did.

Upon this realization, Lin Wanwan stood up, waved her hand, pointing toward the depths of the forest, and said to the mother leopard, "Go on, you’re free now, the forest is your true home."
