Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2145 - 2208: Leopard or Cat
Sure, here’s the translation:
Chapter 2208: Is it a Leopard or a Cat?
Wu Shuwei hadn’t noticed the danger yet and took a few steps forward. Seeing Li Yifei slowing his pace and looking at the wall a hundred meters away, she turned back and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Li Yifei gestured for silence and slowly walked towards Wu Shuwei, whispering, "I’ve spotted an animal. Don’t be afraid, as long as I’m here, there’s nothing to be scared of."
"An animal?" Wu Shuwei opened her eyes wide but was somewhat puzzled. Would an animal make Li Yifei so cautious?
Li Yifei nodded and said, "It’s a leopard, probably an adult one. It just jumped down from over there. Don’t worry, I’ll go catch it or chase it away."
"You’re... going over?" Wu Shuwei became nervous upon hearing that a leopard had come in, and was even more anxious when she heard Li Yifei intended to catch it. She quickly grabbed Li Yifei’s arm and said nervously, "Don’t go, it’s too dangerous."
"It’s just a leopard. You forget that I’m much more dangerous than a leopard." Li Yifei chuckled, patted Wu Shuwei’s hand, and comforted her, "Relax, it’s just a big kitty with no threat. Give me a few minutes; I’ll catch it for you."
"And actually catch it?" Wu Shuwei’s face showed a hint of fear. She liked small animals, such as cats and dogs, but this was a murderous leopard. The African cheetah is a famous top predator on the African savannah, alongside lions. As the fastest mammal, encountering them in the wild hardly leads to survival unless the leopard chooses not to kill.
"Be good, wait for me here, and I’ll tell you its current location!" Li Yifei almost pinched Wu Shuwei’s cheek but stopped midway and instead pointed to where the leopard was.
Wu Shuwei looked up but still couldn’t see even a trace. Her vision was not strong enough to spot it. Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Just wait!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
After speaking, Li Yifei rushed out while Wu Shuwei found herself holding a gun—the one Li Yifei borrowed—for reassurance.
This male leopard probably never dreamt that while jumping in to see if there were any prey, it inadvertently interrupted two strolling people, and one of them took an interest in it. Not only interested but also took action to capture it.
When it comes to stealth, Li Yifei outshines leopards and lions. While he approached, the leopard didn’t notice a thing until Li Yifei appeared behind it. It was then the cheetah felt a sudden shock, as if its soul was startled, straining its limbs to leap several meters away, trying to escape the sudden mystery behind.
Like cats, leopards have strong curiosity and alertness. When Li Yifei frightened it suddenly, it panicked immensely but no matter how much it struggled, it couldn’t escape Li Yifei’s grip. Li Yifei not only held it down but also grabbed its neck with one hand and pressed its back with the other.
Without much effort, Li Yifei managed to pin down the cheetah. A powerful aura was released, penetrating the leopard’s body with a chilling sensation. The not-so-smart creature immediately understood it had encountered an unbeatable opponent. According to nature’s laws, if you can’t win, you either escape or surrender. Like when a leopard’s hard-earned prey is seized by wild dogs—they’re not too much for the leopard; it’s just that wild dogs tend to gang up in numbers. Thus, the leopard has to abandon its prey and flee pathetically. This is one tactic of the leopard, and now, unable to escape, after a stalemate, it began emitting hums, which soon turned into purring sounds.
Those who keep cats know purring signifies happiness or comfort. When the cheetah made this sound, Li Yifei understood that the creature had been tamed.
With a chuckle, Li Yifei patted the leopard’s head twice, making it hum, and while his aura still tingled menacingly, it drew back gradually. The leopard attempted to stand but didn’t flee; instead, it rubbed its head against Li Yifei.
Seconds later, Li Yifei suddenly extended his hand and gripped the leopard’s throat. The creature seemed to know how to behave, attempting to bite Li Yifei when his attention was diverted. Though unfortunately for it, Li Yifei anticipated it, and with one grip, held the cheetah’s throat, ready to crush it if he wished, and its weight, over a hundred pounds, was like nothing to Li Yifei, easily lifted, his eyes gleaming coldly.
The cheetah again emitted hums, seemingly begging for mercy, while Li Yifei continuously exerted pressure with his imposing aura, which frightened the cheetah to the point of losing control of its bladder and bowels.
Done with it, Li Yifei let go and tossed the leopard aside. It lay on the ground and didn’t dare to rise until Li Yifei spoke, "Get up." Only then did it dare to stand.
Taming a big cat is surprisingly simple. Li Yifei felt somewhat proud that he achieved something many dream of doing. These creatures are wild, harder to tame than lions. Lions and tigers frequently perform in circuses, whereas cheetah performances are rare.
Two minutes later, Wu Shuwei saw Li Yifei walking ahead with the cheetah obediently following behind him. Surprised, Wu Shuwei widened her eyes. She knew Li Yifei was formidable, almost omnipotent, yet she didn’t realize he could be this fierce. How long did it take to tame a ferocious cheetah? If she didn’t know the backstory, she’d suspect that he was already familiar with the leopard.
"Is it... really tamed?" Wu Shuwei pointed at the cheetah, which upon first meeting Wu Shuwei, grimaced its teeth. Li Yifei merely glanced at it, causing it to immediately lower its head, tuck its tail, and emit hums.
"Haha, this is incredible!" Wu Shuwei couldn’t help but laugh, and she heard Li Yifei say, "Don’t worry, it won’t dare to be fierce to you, otherwise it will die immediately. You can touch it safely."
"Really?" Wu Shuwei’s eyes lit up. Ignoring the bloating in her stomach, she also wanted to bend down because she trusted Li Yifei. At this moment, Wu Shuwei wasn’t very afraid; being able to personally touch the leopard was an experience almost no one gets to enjoy.
Upon hearing this, Wu Shuwei smiled and heard Li Yifei say, "Yes, go ahead and touch it. If you’re daring enough, you can even ride it."
"I can even ride it?" Wu Shuwei was even more interested.
"You can ask it. If it nods, you can ride it," Li Yifei said.
So Wu Shuwei, in a very childish manner, bowed her head and said, "Well, will you let me ride you for a bit?"
While speaking, Wu Shuwei’s hand was already on the leopard’s head. This African cheetah, which just a few minutes ago was preparing to launch an attack on a human or animal and was full of wild nature, was now like a house cat or dog. After asking, Wu Shuwei suddenly laughed, saying, "I’m so silly. It’s a cat - oh no, it’s a leopard - how could it possibly understand what I’m saying."
Just after saying this, the leopard surprisingly nodded, seemingly quite intelligent. Seeing it nod, Wu Shuwei immediately cheered but soon worried about attracting attention. She chuckled, looked up at Li Yifei, and said, "It really nodded."
"So that means it agreed!" Li Yifei signaled that she could go ahead and ride it.
Given the cheetah’s build, bearing the weight of an adult was quite strenuous, but Li Yifei didn’t care. You dared to come in here intending to launch an attack, so you must endure this kind of humiliation. Under Li Yifei’s high-pressure rule, the cheetah dared not resist.
Wu Shuwei rode on its back throughout the process very bravely. Li Yifei realized the girl was quite fearless. Then again, when she was kidnapped before, she remained calm and unaffected. Being a bit daring now was only natural.
The cheetah suffered, being ridden, and let out low growls. It dared not resist and could only carry Wu Shuwei for two laps, panting heavily.
Wu Shuwei jumped off, cheered, and extended her palm to high-five Li Yifei, giving it a gentle slap. She couldn’t help but say, "It’s amazing! I never imagined I’d be able to ride a cheetah one day. I’m so happy!"
"Go ahead, ride another lap. I’ll snap a photo for you," Li Yifei suggested.
Wu Shuwei’s eyes lit up, thinking Li Yifei’s suggestion made a lot of sense, nodding and saying, "Alright, I’ll hop back on. Here, take my phone."
"Mine will do," Li Yifei waved his phone. Wu Shuwei struck a pose, and Li Yifei clicked a few shots. Only then did Wu Shuwei get down, pitying the poor cheetah, probably having caused trouble for most of its life to end up being ridden continuously.
After glancing at the photos, Wu Shuwei found they turned out great, and she took the phone, urging, "You should go next. I’ll take a few shots for you."
"Haha, sure, hang on. I need to think of some poses!" Li Yifei said as he walked over, completing a few photos with the cheetah’s ’cooperation’.
The cheetah’s eyes revealed even tears of humiliation. As the king of beasts, although smaller than lions or tigers, it still instills fear in countless animals. Yet today, it became like a cat, and a particularly docile one at that, reduced to an ornament for photos, merely as a backdrop.
When the two were done playing, Li Yifei had to wave his hand to the cheetah, giving it the final command to roll out.
"This experience, I’ll probably never forget!" Wu Shuwei said seriously, rubbing her belly with one hand.
"It’s a pity there was only the cheetah. If given the chance, I’d let you try a lion, rhino, crocodile, and others," Li Yifei said, stroking the beard on his chin.
"Really?" Wu Shuwei’s eyes brightened but quickly said, "Let’s not. I feel they’re quite pitiful enduring such humiliation from us...."
