Chapter 139 - 139 Panda Knight_1
“Xu Fan, don’t mess around!” Xu Yixue said seriously to Xu Fan.
Before the echo of Xu Yixue’s words had faded, Xu Fan’s figure disappeared from the spot with a ‘biu’ sound.
“Xiao Ning, did you see where Xu Fan went?” Xu Yixue asked Ye Xiaoning a bit anxiously.
Xu Fan had disappeared on the spot with Tongtong, thankfully the tourists around them were all focused on the pandas in the park, and barely anyone noticed Xu Yixue and the others.
Even so, Xu Yixue felt somewhat hesitant, feeling that Xu Fan was being too rash.
“Yixue sister, I didn’t see him either, it’s like he vanished all of a sudden,” Ye Xiaoning took a couple of spins around but couldn’t find any trace of Xu Fan. She then said somewhat enlightened, “He couldn’t have actually gone inside to let Tongtong touch the pandas, could he?”
“Absolutely!” Xu Yixue said, a bit annoyed.
Although Xu Fan’s action was out of love for Tongtong, it was still a bit too crazy.
Just as they suspected, after Xu Fan’s figure disappeared from their side, he appeared in a small corner of the Panda Park, almost in the blink of an eye.
Their view was perfectly obscured by the artificial mountains and bamboo forests here, making it impossible for any of the tourists outside the Panda Park to see Xu Fan and Tongtong standing in the corner at this time.
“Daddy, where are we?” Tongtong’s eyes wandered as he looked around at the stone artificial mountains and the lush green bamboo leaves, curiously asking Xu Fan.
“Of course we’re in the little home of the pandas. Tongtong, keep your voice down a bit, I’ll call the pandas over so you can touch them,” Xu Fan whispered to Tongtong.
“Hehe, daddy, you’re so awesome. Tongtong is so lucky,” Tongtong nestled into Xu Fan’s arms and whispered to him.
Right before they zapped into the Panda Park, Xu Fan, to protect Tongtong, quickly hugged Tongtong, who was sitting on his shoulders, into his arms; that’s why Tongtong could whisper so happily to Xu Fan right now.
“Just a moment, the panda will be here soon.” Xu Fan held up a sword finger with one hand, lightly touching it to the space between his eyebrows, as the Sea of Five Spirits from his Sea of Consciousness instantly spread around them.
Several pandas weren’t far from the artificial mountain, all within the coverage of Xu Fan’s Sea of Consciousness.
Xu Fan’s Sea of Five Spirits, with the oppressive presence of five Primordial Spiritual Beasts, had an unparalleled suppressive effect on the common beasts within the Sea of Consciousness; to say they were completely obedient would not be an exaggeration.
Under the pressure of Xu Fan’s Sea of Consciousness, a large panda basking under the artificial mountain obediently stood up and then crawled towards Xu Fan’s location.
“Wow, the big panda is really coming over! Hehe…” Tongtong watched a clumsily endearing panda waddle over, a burst of joy erupting in Xu Fan’s arms as he said delightedly.
“Haha, I’ve already given it orders, and it will obediently play with you,” Xu Fan whispered to Tongtong.
“Haha, then I want to pet it.” Hearing Xu Fan’s words, Tongtong suddenly gained the courage, and taking small steps, he approached the side of the big panda, then extended his chubby little hand to gently touch the panda’s head.
Under the mental oppression of Xu Fan’s Sea of Five Spirits, the big panda made no fuss, contentedly lying beside Tongtong, letting Tongtong’s small hand stroke its head, and even swaying its head, appearing to enjoy lying on the ground fully.
“Daddy, can Tongtong ride it?” Tongtong rolled his playful and bright eyes, pleadingly asking Xu Fan.
“Okay, but don’t ride around too much; it would be bad if we got caught,” Xu Fan nodded his head and issued a command to the large panda via the mental oppression of the Sea of Consciousness.
The giant panda obediently lay down and turned its back to Tongtong.
“Hee hee hee, Tongtong is going to ride the horsie,” Tongtong giggled, hopping onto the panda’s back. Because the fur was so slippery, it took her several tries to finally sit firmly on the giant panda.
“All set, Daddy, does Tongtong look majestic now?” Tongtong sat on the panda’s back, her little face full of excitement.
“Very majestic, just like a little princess straight out of a fairy tale world,” Xu Fan smiled and said to Tongtong.
Outside the railing of Panda Park, Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning were still carefully searching for Xu Fan and Tongtong.
Ye Xiaoning, standing by, watched a giant panda lazily stand up and then wade into a rockery behind, disappearing into an unseen corner.
A glint flashed in Ye Xiaoning’s eyes. She was now eighty percent sure that this panda was most definitely going to find Xu Fan and Tongtong.
After all, Xu Fan’s words earlier clearly implied that he wanted his daughter to touch a giant panda herself.
Ye Xiaoning truly admired Xu Fan’s doting on Tongtong. Xu Fan had definitely found some way to sneak into Panda Park in an instant, ostensibly to let Tongtong pet the giant panda. And that panda that had roamed in from outside was likely Xu Fan’s trick.
Ye Xiaoning turned and glanced around, noticing a three-story building nearby. If she could stand on the roof of this building, she might be able to see what was hidden by the rockery in the corner.
“Yixue, I know where Xu Fan is, wait for me,” Ye Xiaoning said to Xu Yixue, then her figure quickly darted toward the three-story building.
Xu Yixue had no time to reply before she saw Ye Xiaoning running out hurriedly, and she could only sigh to herself.
Ye Xiaoning was also very fast, reaching the back of the building in less than twenty seconds.
Looking up at the building, Ye Xiaoning carefully found a few leverage points, secured her clothing, took a running start, and swiftly climbed up like Spider-Man.
As a former flame phoenix special forces soldier, free-climbing buildings was merely one of the basic training exercises. Ye Xiaoning once set a record in the army by climbing up to the sixth floor with her hands in just twenty-three seconds; for her, a three-story building was nothing.
In less than ten seconds, Ye Xiaoning climbed to the top of the building using only her hands and various railings and brick crevices for support.
Ye Xiaoning was cautious as well, stooping low and stealthily moving along the eaves to look toward the spot behind the panda exhibition that was invisible from outside the enclosure.
One glance and Ye Xiaoning nearly fell from the third floor.
Behind the rockery was indeed Xu Fan, standing there grinning, and the wobbling panda had truly been summoned there by some method only he knew.
As for Tongtong, she was even more impressive, sitting astride the broad back of the giant panda, her little face flushed with excitement, like a knight galloping and whipping her horse across the grassland.
“Xu Fan! You really outdid yourself!” Ye Xiaoning silently sighed with admiration from the rooftop.
Although she didn’t know how Xu Fan managed to get into the Panda Park or how he made the giant panda so obedient,
she truly had a newfound respect for his abilities.
