The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 225

Just as the keeper and the young woman were about to collapse from fear, the leopard walked up to the keeper, lowered its body, and rubbed against his hand. Then it rubbed against the young woman’s hand as well.

It had seen the tiger do the same thing earlier, and the humans had rewarded it with food.

So it decided to try.

The moment it rubbed against them, both the keeper and the young woman froze.

The visitors outside were stunned.

“What?”

“What’s going on with this leopard? Did Grezeol possess it or something?”

“Grezeol is way more aloof than this. He never rubs against people unless he absolutely has to.”

“I’m so confused. Is this leopard really wild?”

When the leopard saw that the humans were just staring at it blankly, it glanced toward the metal bucket filled with meat.

The keeper was quick to catch on.

He cautiously picked up a piece of pork rib from the bucket with tongs and tossed it to the leopard.

The leopard rubbed against his hand again before lying down to eat.

The keeper was amazed.

What a smart wild leopard.

And it did not attack anyone.

He even shot Grezeol a look of mild annoyance.

He had been feeding Grezeol for two years.

In the beginning, Grezcol had even roared at him.

Now Grezeol allowed interactions, but that was about it. After getting food, he would grab it and turn his back, unlike this wild leopard, which even rubbed against people to show gratitude.

The leopard’s behavior left the visitors in shock.

“Is it asking the keeper for food?”

“It really looks like it.”

“What a smart leopard. Is it really from the forest behind the zoo?”

“Why doesn’t the zoo just adopt it already? This is such a lucky break.”

“Wow, a wild leopard that’s even friendlier than Grezeol. I want to interact with it. Big guy, come here, let me pet you.”

Many visitors waved at the leopard from outside the fence.

After finishing the pork rib, the leopard noticed the people outside the wire fence waving at it.

It walked straight over, moving with strong, graceful steps. When it reached the fence, it leaned in and rubbed its head against the fingers that visitors stretched through the mesh.

The wire mesh was tight, so only fingers could fit through.

Some visitors had been too scared to reach out before.

But now, seeing so many people extending their hands and the leopard not biting anyone, and even rubbing against them in a friendly way, they could not resist.

One by one, they stretched their fingers through to touch it.

After all, this was a rare opportunity.

Its fur was sleek and smooth, and it felt wonderful to touch.

“Oh my gosh, it’s so cute. This leopard is so friendly. I officially like this big leopard the most now. Grezeol can move aside.”

“Haha, this is cracking me up. It’s so affectionate. Grezeol, if you keep that grumpy face, people are going to switch favorites.”

“It’s so friendly. Its whole body is basically screaming pet me, pet me. I bet if it could get out, it would already be rubbing against everyone.”

“This zoo trip was totally worth it today. I’m so happy.”

“I used to love Grezeol the most. I guess I’ve fallen for someone new.”

Many visitors were patting the leopard with their fingertips while taking photos and videos, posting them on Instagram and online.

For those who had not been chosen as lucky visitors earlier, today did not feel like a wasted trip at all. It felt like a bonus.

There was not much difference between Grezeol and the leopard in terms of appeal.

But Grezeol was cold and distant. He only interacted with three people a day. After that, he turned away

without hesitation or warmth.

The leopard, on the other hand, was much more enthusiastic.

They found themselves liking this friendly big leopard more and more.

Finished

The leopard moved down the line, rubbing against each hand. When it reached Scarlett, it suddenly stopped.

It could sense that this human carried a scent it liked, similar to the one from the pond.

It pushed its round head toward Scarlett through the wire fence, trying to rub against her.

After trying for a while and failing to reach her properly, it grew a little impatient.

Scarlett felt her heart soften.

She crouched slightly, just like everyone else, and extended her finger to gently pet the leopard.

It probably had not lived an easy life in the forest.

The terrain and environment there were not ideal for this type of leopard.

No one knew how it had ended up in that forest.

There were scars on its body. It must have paid a heavy price while hunting.

Drawn by the water in the pond, it had come to the zoo, awakened some awareness, observed Grezeol interacting with the keeper and visitors, and realized that this behavior led to food.

That was why it had come to interact with humans.

But its personality was indeed much better than Grezeol’s.

Otherwise, it would not have taken the initiative to approach people.

It showed no impatience at all. In fact, it seemed happy.

Scarlett felt that this leopard would become one of the zoo’s star animals in the future.

It was an unexpected blessing.

It already liked it here. It would probably choose to stay rather than return to the forest.

Now Forrest could apply to the authorities to keep the leopard at the zoo.
