Chapter 122 Performance
The seals and dolphins who had spent a long time with Long Xiaoxiao were all exceptionally excited, as if they had found something to do today, and therefore looked somewhat excited.
The audience arrived on time; half an hour before the show started, the area outside was already packed with people.
"Next up is a performance by our Azure Dragon Boy, Little Dragon!"
Upon hearing her name called, Long Xiaoxiao responded and came out. Her tiny figure in the arena looked like a waddling little penguin.
"Little one! Ahhh!"
"Little Mommy loves you!"
Wow, so many mom fans!
"Little one, you're the best! Don't be nervous!"
"..."
A chorus of cheers erupted. Long Xiaoxiao was initially startled by the sudden outcry, but quickly put on a gentle smile and raised her hand to greet the surrounding audience.
Then came another round of "wows," mostly praising how cute it was.
After greeting everyone, Long Xiaoxiao walked over to the seal Tiaotiao, who was the best at performing actions among the seals in the aquarium. Therefore, Long Xiaoxiao decisively chose him to cooperate with her performance.
"Jump, go." Long Xiaoxiao said, shaking the dried fish in her hand in a circle.
Jump Jump decisively lunged forward and darted through, his movements fluid and graceful. Long Xiaoxiao smiled and stuffed the dried fish into Jump Jump's mouth, whispering, "You're awesome!"
Jump Jump was so happy that he kept patting his belly.
The sudden, loud slapping sound made the audience burst into laughter.
Long Xiaoxiao's eyes crinkled with laughter. Instead of stopping Tiaotiao's actions, she reached into the bucket, grabbed a fish, and stuffed it into Tiaotiao's mouth. Then she gave the next command: "Shake hands."
Jump Jump stretched out its short, stubby forelimbs.
Its tiny hands are short, and when it shakes hands, it can't even grasp half of a seal's paw.
When Tiaotiao stands up, she is taller than Xiaoxiao, so many older spectators around her frowned and became nervous when they saw this scene.
"Okay, that's great." Long Xiaoxiao said slowly and deliberately, and then began the next action.
As the performance progressed, those worries immediately dissipated.
Jump Jump is very famous in Z City. He is not only cute and lively, but he has also appeared in many shows before. Many locals in Z City know his name and his temperament.
Although Tiaotiao's movements are standard, she has almost never finished a performance. Sometimes when she is tired, she will lie on the ground and act spoiled. When she is hungry, she will crawl into the bucket of food to eat fish.
But this performance was so perfect that sometimes Tiaotiao would fly out before Long Xiaoxiao could finish giving all the instructions. After the performance, she would turn around to look at Long Xiaoxiao, waiting for her praise.
"Is this still the Jumpy I remember?"
"That's right, that chubby body."
"Wow, Xiaoxiao really is a little fairy."
"Aww, these big and little cuties are so adorable, I'm dying of cuteness!"
"..."
When Tiaotiao's performance ended and he was about to be led offstage, he lingered around Long Xiaoxiao, reluctant to leave. Finally, two staff members came up and dragged Tiaotiao away.
"This chubby baby is really..."
"Don't call my Tiaotiao a chubby baby, he's very slim."
"Your filter is too heavy. Your child can't be a child model."
"..."
Next up is the dolphin show. Because the dolphins at the Z City Aquarium are not very cooperative, people have always just watched the dolphin shows as a way to observe dolphins.
Just when everyone thought it would be the same as before, the dolphin emerged from the water and sang out in a high-pitched dolphin voice.
"Ah Bai, turn around," Long Xiaoxiao called out, gesturing with her hands.
Following Long Xiaoxiao's instructions, the dolphin Abai began to perform the movements, constantly changing its posture in the water as its tail fin swayed.
"Wow!"
"Although you can see this kind of show at other aquariums, I don't know why it feels more special to watch it here."
"Are you here to see the dolphin show? Are you here to see Little Da?"
"Holy crap, I've never seen that dolphin cooperate before."
"Trained in just a few days? Xiao Xiao is a true master animal trainer!"
"So cool... I also want to be a dolphin, and stick close to Little One."
When the dolphin show ended, Long Xiaoxiao waved to signal the dolphins to leave. However, as the dolphins left, they sprayed water into the surrounding area, causing quite a few people to get splashed. But no one bothered with the dolphins; instead, they just laughed.
Long Xiaoxiao scratched her head, feeling both amused and apologetic, but ultimately bowed and left the stage as planned in the rehearsal.
Yuan Wang went backstage early to meet Long Xiaoxiao, and as soon as Long Xiaoxiao entered, Yuan Wang hugged her tightly.
"How come our little Xiaoxiao is so amazing? She's incredible!" Yuan Wang said with a smile, reaching out to gently pinch Long Xiaoxiao's cheek.
Long Xiaoxiao smiled and put her hands behind her back, saying with a mix of pride and humility, "No, I'm just so-so."
Meanwhile, the audience seats were still packed with people, almost no one wanted to leave, and everyone was asking if they could see Long Xiaoxiao a little longer.
Among them were some superstitious uncles and aunts who quickly took out lighters and incense sticks from their bags, lit them, and then saluted the spot where Long Xiaoxiao had just been.
The place was a mess; some were worshipping, some were taking pictures, and others were craning their necks to look at Long Xiaoxiao's figure.
As the situation became increasingly out of control, the staff had no choice but to step forward and shoo people away.
The entire scene from that day was recorded and used as footage, and the producers of "Animal Wonders" have already begun the editing process.
Their original plan was for the guests to experience a camping survival trip in the wild, but given the high demand online, the producers wanted to edit the previous footage and release it first.
Many spectators filmed the incident and uploaded it to social media, gradually overshadowing the earlier controversy surrounding Liguo's antics.
Many netizens joked that although they didn't go to the venue, they almost watched the entire performance thanks to their extensive online network.
"Damn, what am I going to do if I like Long Xiaoxiao even more?"
"I want to have a daughter as cute as Xiaoxiao!"
"Who invented this little thing, Long Xiaoxiao (chewing)?"
"Aaaaaah, I'm going to devour Little One in one gulp!"
"Baby, you are a sweet and soft strawberry-flavored little cake!"
"Thanks to the Azure Dragon Boy's blessing, my daughter-in-law went to see a performance and got pregnant afterward. Grateful! [candle][candle]"
"Wait, Little One has this function? How come I didn't know?"
"I don't know either [speechless] Isn't this the job of the Goddess of Mercy who grants children?"
"Who cares? From now on, they're all under the control of the Azure Dragon God and Little Dragon."
