Animal Whisperer: Take Back My Life and Love Chapter 246: The Celebrity Signing

"Mom, I want to live in this zoo! Even the squirrels know how to perform!"

"This ticket is a steal—first the crane dance, now squirrel acrobatics!"

Just then, a curious tourist asked, "Wait, wasn't there supposed to be a 'Royal Guard with a Blade,' the Great Tabby King? Why hasn't he shown up?"

Nancy couldn't help but smile, smoothing things over for her arrogant little "master." "Perhaps... kings do not easily cross paths?"

As she spoke, the Squirrel Bros, who had just finished their performance, hopped to the edge of the stage. They gestured frantically toward the wings with their tiny paws, working together to "push" out the Great Tabby King, who had been secretly observing from behind the curtain.

"Wow! It's the Miracle Detective Cat!"

"I heard he led a squad of strays to find the key evidence in the Townsville University case!"

"So this is the legendary Great Tabby King!"

Amidst the rising waves of praise, the Great Tabby King unconsciously puffed out his furry chest, the tip of his tail twitching with pride. He scanned the enthusiastic humans below with dignified reserve. Since you are all being so sincere...

Then this King shall reluctantly perform!

At that exact moment, an oblivious butterfly fluttered past. The Tabby's eyes sharpened, and his body moved like a bolt of lightning. Before the crowd could even process the movement, he had pinned the butterfly precisely under his paw. The entire sequence was fluid and seamless—the mark of a top-tier predator.

Then, he elegantly picked up the still-vibrating butterfly in his mouth and walked toward Nancy with a composed feline stride, his amber eyes flashing with smug affection.

Woman, a gift from this King.

Nancy was caught off guard by the "flirting," and her heart skipped a beat. She smiled and opened her palm, carefully taking the shaken butterfly. She held it gently for a moment before raising her hand to release it back into the sky.

The onlookers erupted:

"Aaaaah! The Great Tabby King is such a smooth talker!"

"What kind of 'CEO Cat Falls for Me' plot is this?!"

"That look he gave her! I'm actually swooning over a cat!"

Beside them, Star was growing increasingly restless. He paced around Barry, nudging his hand hard with his nose. "Master, Master! Look at that scheming cat! He's stealing the spotlight!"

Barry helplessly patted the agitated dog. "Why are you competing with a cat?" he said softly. His gaze drifted to Nancy's smiling face.

As the performance neared its end, Master Crow flapped his wings and landed on Nancy's shoulder, cawing urgently, "Quick! Bring out the stuff for the signing session!"

Nancy was skeptical. "Is... is anyone really going to buy this?"

Master Crow's feathers puffed out instantly. "You dare question this Boss's business instincts?!"

Nancy laughed and had the staff bring out a small table and special non-toxic ink pads. Corry and Bobby sat formally behind the table, solemnly dipping their tiny paws into the ink and pressing them onto exquisite animal postcards, leaving behind adorable little paw prints.

The Cockatiel flew over to act as Master Crow's assistant, hawking the goods in a clear voice: "The Animal Celebrity Signing Session starts now!!"

"Authentic squirrel paw-print autographs: $5 each!"

"Commemorative photos: $30 per turn!"

The prices had been decided privately between Master Crow and the Cockatiel. Nancy watched in disbelief, thinking: My god, pressing a paw on a card for five bucks? Is that too expensive? Will people actually buy them?

But the response was beyond Nancy's wildest expectations! Fans formed a long queue, scrambling to buy the "autographs." Each person who received a postcard treated it like a treasure.

"Such a cute paw!!!"

"Animals are so much better than human stars; they never get caught in scandals!"

As more tourists joined the line, Nancy and Barry became the "temporary assistants" for the squirrel superstars. Nancy managed the queue and handed out postcards, while Barry—using the same hands that signed billion-dollar contracts—helped the squirrels dip into the ink and organized the finished products.

They were a bit clumsy at first, but the two quickly found a rhythm. Nancy would hand over a blank card just as Barry finished prepping the ink. The tourists joked that they were the "Best Manager Duo."

Nancy looked at the bustling scene and sighed, "Our animals are incredible!" Her phone kept buzzing with notifications: "Venmo payment received: $5," "Venmo received: $30"...

Right in the middle of the laughter and the influx of cash, a small sparrow flew over in a panic, its chirping sharp and urgent:
