Ever since he was scared back into the tree hole by the monster, Mo Gungun had been hiding in his home for three days, squandering all the food he had previously stored.
Pandas spend most of their life eating or sleeping. They don’t have any natural enemies, so they tend to be lazy and move slowly. They also don’t get much energy from the bamboo they eat so they have to constantly replenish their energy, just like a rechargeable battery.
Since Mo Gungun didn’t dare to venture out for three days, he ended up eating almost half a month’s worth of food savings. The only thing he had left was his cherished red bamboo sprouts, which he was most reluctant to eat.
Gululu~.
His little paw touched his fleshy stomach. He was hungry.
And very thirsty.
However, all of his courage had dissipated from the other day. He didn’t want to be skinned nor hurt.
He wanted to live.
The dehydrated panda gazed at the bright, starry sky for a long time. The dark gave him courage and strength. He gritted his teeth and decided to try going out once.
If he didn’t, he would have to….
Move houses!
Thinking this, he clumsily yet cautiously tied the red bamboo shoots to his back with vines. Strangely enough, Mo Gungun didn’t know why he used this method. It seemed as if the thought instinctively came to him when he decided to move, after his encounter with the monster.
He might become the first panda praised for his wisdom.
Suddenly, a delicious fragrance floated through the air. It spread so expansively that even Mo Gungun, who was far away, could smell it. It was such a mouth-watering aroma that his soul jumped with delight.
What was that smell?!
As a panda who loved food, it was like Columbus’ discovery of the new world.
Fortunately, his reason was still intact, so he didn’t rashly rush to the source of the smell.
However, when he found out that the fragrance was in the hands of the monster with beautiful, long hair, he couldn’t rejoice.
But what was that? How fragrant!

The small animal that was only as big as the palm of his hand was completely covered in fur, with two tilted, round black ears, and big, black eye bags that occupied half of his face. Lu Xiaoqi frequently went hunting and remembered reading an ancient book that had a record of this little creature.
Ancient Earth’s panda.
This species had long been extinct, so interstellar people had only been able to see them through records. Lu Xiaoqi didn’t expect to see such a precious and weak creature in his lifetime. He realized that he should currently be on a very primitive planet. Touching his space button, Lu Xiaoqi’s eyes became dark, the same repressive color as the calm before the storm.
An unrecorded planet, a hidden schemer…
Lu Xiaoqi severely coughed up blood. After wiping his mouth, he used his bloodstained hand to take out a gel and spread it onto his chest wound. He gave a sharp hiss as the medicine began to work. The pain couldn’t break his willpower, but it made him see flowers through the fog.
Red! Red blood!
After being flayed alive in his last lifetime and suffering from overwhelming pain, the panda remembered his life ended with him dyed in scarlet. Seeing this scene, he was almost scared to death. His head went blank, and he laid on the ground, trembling.
It hurt!
After a while, the panda’s eyes filled with moisture. He seemed to be on the verge of crying.
Even though he couldn’t do much about it, Lu Xiaoqi was acutely aware of the tiny panda’s unstable breath. He slowly hid his fierce momentum, but the little guy’s situation didn’t improve. After a while, Lu Xiaoqi found that the animal’s breathing had stopped.
Lu Xiaoqi’s pupils shrank.
He had woken up due to that handful of water.
This little bear had saved his life.
Mo Gungun was so frightened that he fainted. When he woke up again, he was lying on a soft mat made of leaves. Beside him were two fragrant golden bamboo shoots that made his mouth water with greed. Yet, Mo Gungun was distracted.
He didn’t feel any pain, nor was he skinned.
He, he was still alive! His red bamboo shoots were still there too!
Mo Gungun was so happy that he could have wept for joy for the rest of his life. He rolled over, hugging the golden bamboo shoots, and excitedly took a big bite. Quickly chewing and swallowing, he suddenly found that the terrible monster was only ten meters away. His paws shook, and the little panda almost choked.
Mo Gungun stealthily spied on it. Holding the golden bamboo shoots in his mouth, he carefully stood up and tried to sneak away with his stubby legs.
He held his breath and slowly walked away, but the short distance was like a long march.
Lu Xiaoqi noticed that the little guy had woken up and ate energetically. It should be alright. His tense body relaxed slightly. He then focused his attention on the communicator in his hand. It made a harsh, sharp noise.
The noise came so abruptly that the panda, who had just reached the bushes, stumbled. In shock, the panda transformed into a ball and rolled down the slope until he bumped into the monster’s leg. The silly panda’s four limbs subconsciously embraced the leg before reason could stop him. He shook his head, still dizzy from rolling down the hill. After regaining his clarity, he met a pair of pitch black, unfathomable eyes.
Being so close to the monster, Mo Gungun’s whole body shuddered, scared out of his wits.
He was going to die!
Clenching his teeth, Mo Gungun’s eyes watered, a little desperate. Both of his ears drooped listlessly, resigned to his fate.
Lu Xiaoqi’s gloomy expression concealed itself in the depths of his eyes. He was speechless, almost finding it comical.
His fingers got closer to the furry little head, itching to rub it. The next second, the little one took a mental blow. Its fur suddenly puffed up, obviously about to faint again. Lu Xiaoqi’s fingers stiffened, but he couldn’t retract his hand. He was already close enough to touch, and could feel the smooth, dough-like fur.
It was so small that the admiral was afraid that just one finger might break the little guy’s fragile bones.
As an interstellar human, genes nowadays had long since varied from ancient earth’s humans. In addition, Lu Xiaoqi had a special mutation- the rare SSS physique. His whole body was strong, with muscles like copper and bones as strong as iron. Being a mutant dragon with a tail also enhanced his combat ability. Without it, he wouldn’t have survived the black hole caused by the planetary explosion, nor would he have recovered in time to survive his near-fatal wounds.
His line of sight swept across the wreckage. Lu Xiaoqi’s eyes squinted. It seemed that the whole fleet, except for him and that other person, had heroically sacrificed their lives, without exception.
It seemed that to planet Celta, he was classified a martyr.
Sensing the admiral’s angry mood, Mo Gungun went completely limp, his dark eyes starting to water again.
The huge palm fell. Mo Gungun watched as it came closer and closer. When his fear reached its peak, he couldn’t help but closed his eyes. Yet waiting for death was a long process, so long that even Mo Gungun felt something was wrong. He cautiously opened his eyes, revealing only small slits. When his dark pupils met the other’s black eyes, he rapidly shut them again, feigning death.
Under the palm of his hand was a soft, round, paralyzed panda cake. Lu Xiaoqi couldn’t help laughing at the panda’s timidness. His tightened heartstrings relaxed a bit, and his heavy heart was lightened by the pleasant feeling.
Lu Xiaoqi moved the panda onto a pyramid-shaped pile of bamboo shoots, and then lowered his head as he thought of how to fix his communicator.
He didn’t feel well, so for the time being he could only work on it.
As for the tiny furry animal, it posed no threat in the admiral’s mind.
He thought that surviving the first time he fainted was a fluke. However, he didn’t believe it was an accident that the monster didn’t kill him the second time. Mo Gungun, who was sitting on the bamboo shoot mound, blinked. He could barely believe it. Not only did he not die, he also received a fragrant golden bamboo shoot pile by chance.
Mo Gungun didn’t dare to move. He carefully looked up at the monster’s carved features.
A little paw moved to and fro, trying to probe the monster. Seeing it didn’t intend to kill him, he couldn’t help but try to probe him again.
After a few more provocations, Mo Gungun’s hanging heart was put down.
He should be safe for now.
He slipped down the golden bamboo hill with trepidation. He stared at it for a while, before swiftly turning and rushing into a bush.
Even if it was safe now, the monster was dangerous.
He had to run away!
Lu Xiaoqi stopped. His profound gaze changed when he saw the familiar scene.The difference was that this time, he could clearly see the fluffy fur on its round buttocks as well as its slightly cocked tail as the panda flew away.
After a pause, the admiral lowered his head again. He pressed a button, and the communicator flickered.
Mo Gungun made it back to his nest alive. He pulled down the rattan on his back with his small claws, which held his treasured red bamboo shoots. After tearing the vines, he realized only two bamboo shoots were left. Although he was reluctant to eat the red bamboo shoots, the golden bamboo sprouts were even more precious!
He smelled the shoots one by one, doing his best to resist the urge to eat, and started packing.
He! Had! To! Move! Homes!
The panda had other things on his mind while packing, so he clumsily pulled at the rattan, failing to achieve the desired effect several times.
Mo Gungun recalled the monster’s bony hands, then looked down at his own furry paws.
He also wanted to have flexible, separable claws.
When he finally finished tying the vines, only two bamboo shoots laid on his back. It was a bit ugly, but it was somewhat knight-errant in style.
He was ready. Mo Gungun satisfactorily left his tree hole at dawn.
It rained a lot recently, and the surroundings were still damp. Mo Gungun hid in the thicket covered in dew, his fluffy coat pasted down onto his body. He looked quite pitiful.
His territory wasn’t large. After walking for half an hour, he made it to the edge. He could faintly smell a distinct odor, warning that it was another animal’s territory. He was a bit hesitant to leave. There were many unknown difficulties and dangers ahead, but there were also terrible monsters behind him. The panda was standing at a crossroad, his expression solemn and stirring.
The monster had seized his only small water source and would likely not give it back.
He had to find a new place.
Stepping over the boundary and into the other animal’s territory, Mo Gungun could be said to have spent all of his courage to enter this new area, his expression uneasy.
The further he travelled, the more pungent the odor became. He shivered, wanting to immediately run away. Out of nowhere, a gust of wind hit, and Mo Gungun came face to face with a pair of cold green eyes, causing his facade of bravery to crumble into pieces.

Thank you for the chapter 🐼🐼
Hahaha. GunGun courage can’t take it. He already hug a thigh early. But, just for additional knowledge, panda’s fur looks smooth but it is not. Actually they are rather coarse and hard to brush. Btw, many loves to GunGun^O^
I feel distress for Gungun, he’s really scared which shows how terrible his past experience were. But, I gotta admit panda Gungun is absolutely cute. >< It’s a wonder how our MC is only as big as the ML’s palm—I thought he was at least a bit bigger than an average adult cat.
Oh no. The little cutie gets himself into trouble. Hope he gets rescued by Lu Xiaoqi. 😟
Oh my Precious!!!
