The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 988

Chapter 988: Chapter 988: This Panda Has the Mark of Early Death

Hill stayed at the Panda Base for a full four days.

Although his demonic power recovered by the second day, he lingered for an extra two days as he’d promised himself.

During these four days, he lived comfortably, not needing to attend school or cultivate his demonic power; he ate and slept, slept and ate. Besides fresh bamboo and bamboo shoots for meals, he also had apples and various snacks like chocolate every day.

He didn’t want to leave.

The rotund panda sat lazily against the wall, exposing his plush belly, exuding a sense of contentment after a satisfying meal.

Yet, underneath those dark circles, his little eyes now revealed a hint of sadness.

He had to go home.

As he thought this, he heard familiar footsteps approaching. Old Yang, his caretaker these past few days, had come again.

After cleaning up some rubbish on the floor, Old Yang glanced at Hill, who remained unmoving, and after a moment of thought, he secretively pulled a bundle of fresh bamboo shoots from his pocket and tucked it into Hill’s embrace.

Hill was caught off guard by the surprise snack, his favorite fresh bamboo shoot.

He grew even more reluctant to leave.

Old Yang, I’m leaving today.

Even though he’d only been there for four days, Hill had heard many stories from the chatty caretaker.

For instance, there was a celebrity panda at the base, wildly popular online.

And there were the renowned panda couple, Lemongrass and Artemisia, who loved to show off their affection.

Most often, though, Old Yang spoke of Freya, a panda he’d cared for and raised from the size of a palm.

But recently, due to excellent behavior, Freya had been selected to return to the wild for natural training.

Panda wilderness training involves choosing pandas that excel in various aspects and releasing them into the wild, gradually reducing human intervention to help them adapt to natural survival.

Ever since Freya was released, Old Yang had been constantly worried, fearing the kid might encounter danger in the wild.

Hill had no opinions on humans raising pandas; it didn’t concern him anyway.

Taking a final look at Old Yang, Hill planned to sneak away once he left.

But in that moment, he unexpectedly noticed something amiss on Old Yang.

It seemed as if a dark aura surrounded him, exuding a sense of foreboding danger.

Hill nearly sat up straight, quickly running to Old Yang and carefully examining his face through the bars of the cage.

Hill’s sudden "enthusiasm" left Old Yang pleasantly surprised.

Hill had been there for several days, aside from eating, he’d shown little interest in people, but this was the first time he acted warmly towards him.

Old Yang laughed and asked, "What’s wrong? Hungry again?"

Hill had no heart to answer.

He was somewhat restless.

It seemed something was about to happen to Old Yang.

Though the Demon Clan couldn’t match a Master’s skill in face reading, they had their own ways of sensing fortune and calamity.

Hill wasn’t very knowledgeable about this; he could only vaguely sense that something was about to happen to Old Yang but couldn’t figure out what.

By rights, this was a human’s own destiny, unrelated to him, but...

Having been cared for so well for four days, Hill couldn’t just walk away pretending he knew nothing.

He owed a debt of karma.

What to do?

The chubby panda suddenly clutched his head in thought, his gaze falling on the phone in Old Yang’s pocket, and he immediately had an idea.

Hill feigned a pained look, and under Old Yang’s surprised and skeptical gaze, flopped down with a thud.

The adorable round panda began whining without warning, collapsing on the spot, scaring Old Yang terribly.

He hurriedly opened the cage to check on Hill, only to unexpectedly find the panda clinging smartly to his leg.

Old Yang was first startled, then laughed, "You’re pretending?! Why do you have so many tricks?!"
