Chapter 22: An Unexpected Reunion

  After chatting and laughing, several people headed towards the highest peak - Lianhua Peak.

  Unexpectedly, Liu Yi had not walked far when he saw a familiar face. Upon closer inspection, the familiar person was none other than Ouyang Tong, who had also come to Huangshan for tourism.

  Liu Yi and a few others came before Ouyang Tong, greeted her with a "Hi, beautiful Ouyang, you're also here to have fun?"

  Ouyang Tong was also surprised, didn't expect to meet an acquaintance in this foreign land, and greeted Liu Yi enthusiastically "What a coincidence! Liu Yi."

  Seeing Ouyang Tong standing alone, Liu Yi couldn't help but ask "Are you here by yourself?"

  Ouyang Tong smiled slightly "Not coming alone, isn't there someone accompanying me?"

  Zhao Tong said, "Beautiful woman, we were just about to head to Lianhua Peak. Since you're alone, why not come with us? It's safer with more people, don't you think it's unsafe for a single person like you?"

  Hu Jingjing and Liu Yiyi didn't object either, so Ouyang Tong nodded in agreement. "Well, if that's the case, then I'll be bothering you two." He said with a tongue-out expression.

  Then, Liu Yi and his group also changed from four to five. Seeing that there was another beauty in the team, Zhao Tong was overjoyed, constantly glancing at the beauty beside him, and even had the motivation to climb up.

  Liu Yi naturally knew about Zhao Tong's little thoughts, but he couldn't say anything to him after all. Zhao Tong had always been like this in terms of his moral character.

  Suddenly, Ouyang Tong shouted "Hey, isn't that a Welcome Pine?"

  Everyone followed Ouyang Tong's pointing direction and looked over. Sure enough, another strange pine tree stood upright on a rock.

  However, Liu Yiyi interrupted at this time and said "I'm afraid that's not the Welcoming Guest Pine. There are hundreds of species of pine trees on Huangshan Mountain, and the Welcoming Guest Pine is one of the top ten famous pines in Huangshan. In addition to the Welcoming Guest Pine, there are also the Seeing-off Guest Pine, the Exploring Sea Pine, the Potted Pine, the Black Tiger Pine, the Sleeping Dragon Pine, the Qilin Pine, and the Interconnected Pine. There are many other famous pines in "The Famous Pines Collection", maybe this one is among them."

  Liu Yi couldn't help but praise "So knowledgeable, so cultured!"

  In an instant, Liu Yiyi's duck egg face was like a red persimmon, hearing Liu Ye praise herself, she was naturally delighted and shy.

  At this time, Hu Jing suddenly pounced on Liu Yi's body, scaring several people. Zhao Tong was even more shocked, his chin almost dropping "I... I say, Academician, under the bright sky, you're treating Brother Yi like this, isn't it a bit...?"

  Liu Yi was also startled, "What's wrong? What happened?"

  Hu Jingjing buried her head in Liu Yi's chest, shivering and saying "T-there, there are leopards over there!" Several people busily looked around, where were the leopards?

  "Right next to that pine tree!" Hu Jingjing said again.

  Zhao Tong hastily turned his head and took a look, "My goodness! It's really true!" He said, taking a few steps back.

  Liu Yiyi and Ouyang Tong also just saw the leopard, scared to quickly hide behind Liu Yi and Zhao Tong.

  Liu Yi looked at this spotted leopard and curiously asked "Where did this leopard come from? Why isn't it staying in the zoo?"

  "There are some nationally protected animals roaming in the Huangshan area, they usually don't appear in scenic areas, how did this leopard show up here?" Liu Yiyi poked her head out and whispered.

  Liu Yiqi smiled slightly and comforted the girls, "It's okay, it's just a leopard, besides, it didn't come towards us, did it?"

  "It's just that, it's standing there stupidly and doesn't pose a threat to us." Zhao Tong said to the few beauties to boost their morale. Unexpectedly, this wasn't said in vain, as the leopard actually started walking towards them step by step.

  Several tourists also saw the leopard's appearance and were suddenly shocked, shouting "Oh no, the leopard is coming, run quickly!"

  The crowd of tourists was already not small, and as soon as they heard the news, they immediately panicked and fled in all directions. For a time, the crowd surged forward, pushing towards places far away from the leopard.

  Zhao Tong also hastily shouted to Liu Yi, "Yi Ge, the leopard is here, let's run quickly!" At the same time, he also urged the few beauties to hurry and leave this place of trouble.

  Liu Yi thought that he should indeed hurry to evacuate the area, although he should have the ability to stop the leopard from hurting people, but Zhao Tong and several girls were completely powerless against this leopard. Seeing that the roads around him were crowded with people escaping, Liu Yi shouted at Zhao Tong "Tongzi, you take them to escape first, I'll come in a while!"

  But Zhao Tong's words were interrupted by Liu Yi before he could finish speaking.

  "But you sister, but when the leopard eats you to the bone, then you can 'but'! Liu Yi roared "Get out, get out quickly!"

  Zhao Tong saw Liu Yi like this and could only take a few beauties to escape first. However, the beauties were not at ease with Liu Yi and kept looking back at him as they walked two steps.

  "Hey, what are you all staring at?! Still looking?! Brother Yi delayed the time for us to leave first, if you don't leave now, isn't that a waste of Brother Yi's effort? Are you guys being fair to Brother Yi?"

  When Zhao Tong said that, Ouyang Tong and Hu Jingjing quickly followed him away. Looking at Liu Yi again, a tear squeezed out of Yui's eyes, and she looked at him with deep affection, saying to herself "You risked your life twice to save me, if there is a next time, I will definitely marry you!" Then she also turned around and left.

  Actually, since the time she fell into the mountain stream, Yī Yī had been filled with gratitude towards this brave boy, and apart from this feeling, there was also a thread of love. And this time, Liǔ Yì's fearless spirit once again moved her, making her admire Liǔ Yì to an extreme degree.

  Watching the leopard step by step approaching, Liu Yi glared at it with anger, his eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire.

  Suddenly, the leopard accelerated and rushed in the direction that Zhao Tong and others had left. Liu Yi saw this and quickly accelerated to rush in the direction of the leopard's run.

  A few seconds later, Liu Yi appeared in front of the leopard, and the leopard also seemed to be startled, not expecting that there could be such a fast speed among humans.

  The leopard paused for a moment, then raised its paw and pounced on Liu Yi.

  Liu Yi suddenly arched his body backwards and dodged to the side, one hand swiftly grabbing the leopard's hind leg and throwing it out.

  Unexpectedly, the leopard took advantage of its own excellent elasticity and came rushing over again with just a push of its four limbs. Liu Yi seized the opportunity this time, slipped under the leopard's body, grabbed both of its front paws, slammed them to the ground, and kicked it again.

  The leopard was badly injured and lay on the ground, gasping for breath, its paws still trembling from time to time.

  Some slightly rational tourists have already called the park management staff. Now, several breeders and security guards have rushed to the scene. Seeing Liu Yi standing next to the leopard, they were stunned and hurriedly shouted: "Young man, come over quickly, you are in danger there!"

  Liu Yi smiled and shook his head, saying "This little guy has already been subdued by me, you can just come over."

  The staff were all stunned, and the young man in front of them actually said that the leopard had been subdued by him... Without thinking much, the crowd rushed to Liu Yi's side, put the leopard into a cage, and took it away first.

  Zhao and several others followed after seeing the staff earlier. Seeing that Liu Yi was fine, they were all extremely excited, and Liu Yiyi even cried tears of joy.

  Zhao Tong ran over, feeling Liu Yi to see if he was injured. After checking him all over and finding that Liu Yi was fine, he couldn't help but excitedly shout "Yi ge you're okay, it's really great! You're so awesome, you even took down such a ferocious leopard!"

  Liu Yi smiled and said "Low-key, gotta be low-key, got it?" Then he walked towards a few girls.
