Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl

Before the surgery on Leopard Sister, we did our best to preserve her organs as much as possible.

But given her injuries at the time, the fact that Leopard Sister recovered to her current state had already exceeded their expectations.

Now it was just a little problem females tend to have, a minor surgery, and she wouldn't even need half a month to recover.

The only trouble was that having little leopards in the future might be rather difficult.

Leopard Sister rested her chin on her paws and thought for a while before agreeing very decisively.

No babies, no worries—after all, not every mating results in offspring.

Moreover, she had already given birth and wasn't obsessed with being a mother.

As for whether Brother Leopard was willing or not, Leopard Sister didn't care; in the life of wild beast couples, they stay together if it works, go their separate ways if it doesn't.

Leopard Sister was truly smart, communicating with her was very efficient.

Since the decision to operate was made, better sooner than later.

Luckily, the rescue station had no other animals needing treatment at the moment, so after the surgery, he could focus on taking care of her for a while.

He sent Leopard Sister's films and the checkup results to the central medical director's email, and then pinged him on the work chat, explaining in detail the surgery plan he was intending to perform on Leopard Sister.

Then, he sent the same medical records to Teacher Dong, including the surgical plan.

The director called back quickly, agreeing with Chen Ying's surgical plan but not quite approving of the location for the surgery.

The operating room in the rescue station was rather small; it was completely fine for small animals, but Flower Leopard was a large feline, unsuitable for the size of the station's operating table.

Chen Ying glanced at Leopard Sister, thought for a moment, and felt the issue could be resolved easily.

"Leopard Sister's mate and children are all here in the rescue station, she might really object to leaving. The operating table is an easy fix, just get a bigger one. After all, the surgery is not complicated, Xiao Song and I can handle it. I can take care of the post-operative observation by myself."

"If you're not at ease, then have Teacher Dong come to assist me. His anesthesia skills are exceptional, and he's reliable."

The director paused, scolded him with a chuckle, and finally agreed to the plan.

He also promised to have Teacher Dong take charge of the anesthesia during the surgery.

The reason Chen Ying insisted on performing the surgery here was to establish this place as the primary operating room, so that all rescued animals could receive first aid.

If they were limited to only small and medium-sized animals, the rescue station would lose at least a third of its purpose.

During the two days of waiting for the equipment to be arranged, Leopard Sister leisurely found a place for her family to live.

It was a tree not far behind the rescue station.

There was also a hole under the tree that could barely accommodate the family of four when it rained.

Brother Leopard took the two kids out to practice hunting while Leopard Sister lay on the second-floor balcony, casually chatting with Chen Ying.

"Have you seen my brother? That silly lug isn't still as naively daft as before, right? I suspect my youngest son is just like him."

No doubt, the saying "like uncle, like nephew" applies to animals too.

Speaking of her brother, there was actually tenderness in Leopard Sister's tone.

"That big silly always thought the other leopards would bully me and mom, so he wanted to keep us within his territory. Mom was pleased, but she chose to leave."

Leopard Sister had originally planned to remain neighbors with her mother for a while, but her silly brother ruined her plans.

Later on, she met quite a few leopards she fancied and wanted to have cubs with, but the fool messed it all up.

Left with no choice, the siblings fought, and in the end, the disgruntled brother left. He still secretly staked out a bit more than a third of her territory for himself.

Leopard Sister had no choice but to accept it.

In their first year of independence, they supported each other through the hardest times.

Leopard Sister's abilities kept growing stronger, and she found a suitable male leopard, with whom she had her first litter of cubs.

Then, she encountered Brother Leopard.

(That year, Brother Leopard was single and carefree)

Brother Leopard was very strong, an outsider.

In pursuit of Leopard Sister, he crossed paths with the silly younger brother, leading to a fierce fight.

The unscrupulous sister watched coldly as her brother was beaten up and then flaunted her affection with Brother Leopard, infuriating the silly younger brother enough to leave for Snow Mountain to rival the Snow Leopard for territory.

"That Silly doesn't think, always guarding me, how could any female leopard fancy him?"

Leopard Sister's dominance also deterred other female leopards from easily overstepping, and without taking the initiative, the silly brother would never become a father.

Chen Ying stopped his work and glanced at Leopard Sister.

"Don't worry, what's meant for him will be his, it's just that fate hasn't arrived yet."

"Hmph, you humans always like to deceive yourselves. But we are different, without effort, we'll never achieve it."

Chen Ying's expression changed slightly, as if something had come to mind.

There are those who stubbornly refuse to learn and those whose heads are over heels in love.

Chen Ying shared with Leopard Sister about the Black Panther he had seen at the zoo.

Even the worldly Leopard Sister was taken aback, could there be such a leopard?

"But the black leopard you mentioned, I've seen one before."

Leopard Sister lay down, reminiscing about the past, "Right after my silly brother and I left our mother, a strong Black Panther passed through our territory."

There was a hint of admiration in its gaze, pure admiration.

"My brother tried to drive it away but ended up slapped down from the tree. That leopard was powerful, but too aloof."

At the thought, Leopard Sister couldn't help but shiver.

"Then, with a leap, it disappeared, and I never saw that leopard again."

After talking so much, Leopard Sister felt tired, jumped off the platform, and decided to go out to stretch her legs.

Recovering from surgery required at least half a month of rest, the thought alone was frustrating.

It took five days to set up the new operating room.

Leopard Sister's surgery lasted one and a half hours, highly successful, much better than expected—with the exception of the adhesion disorder part, other organs were intact.

Soon after the surgery, Leopard Sister regained consciousness, weak all over.

Teacher Dong and Xiao Song left, taking Little monkey with them.

Originally, the Little monkey was reluctant, but after seeing Chen Ying fully absorbed in caring for Leopard Sister, it sulkily followed Xiao Song.

After all, Xiao Song had been kind to it; even the diaper it wore was bought by Xiao Song.

"Every time I see Brother Ying communicate effortlessly with those animals, I get so envious. If I could do it like Brother Ying, I wouldn't be almost depressed by that old monkey."

Xiao Song, originally a pretty girl, had lost sleep caring for the old monkey, her eye bags becoming large and dark, her skin dull.

Teacher Dong, having seen this often, had a stronger resilience than younger people and could only counsel Xiao Song to do her best and leave the rest to fate.

The Little monkey couldn't understand what they were saying, but picked up on the familiar sound "monkey" and thought they were referring to it, politely reaching out to touch Xiao Song's cheek, cuddling non-stop, as if to comfort her.

In the observation room, Chen Ying finished writing the surgery report and, looking up, saw three cat heads lined up outside the window, staring eagerly at Leopard Sister on the bed—a sight both amusing and heartwarming.
