Chapter 741: A Romantic Cherry Blossom Shower

The procession first arrived at the Giant Beast Area!

The elephant keepers, having heard over the walkie-talkie that Fang Ye and his party had arrived at the zoo, began gathering the elephants.

Using food, they guided the elephants to the edge of the activity area.

In a bamboo basket, there was a pile of freshly collected cherry blossom petals!

Elephants are very intelligent animals. Scattering cherry blossom petals is no different from throwing sand or spraying water.

As long as they wanted to, they could easily do it. The key was whether they were willing to understand and cooperate.

Fang Ye went to the elephant enclosure and demonstrated scattering cherry blossoms to a few elephants. Pingping quickly understood and was rewarded with fruit after scattering the petals. The other elephants followed suit.

If it were just regular keepers, the elephants might not have been as cooperative. Even if they understood, they might pretend not to, deliberately making things difficult for the keepers to earn more fruit.

For example, when getting their feet trimmed, especially Meiling, she would always make the keepers work for half an hour, pretending to walk away halfway through, forcing the keepers to bring out more fruit and coax her back like a disobedient child in kindergarten who couldn't be scolded.

From across the moat, Fang Ye smiled and waved to Pingping and the others, "Hi!"

Pingping, seeing Fang Ye, grinned back, showing a happy smile!

She shook her trunk and greeted him.

Her ears flapped gently as she dipped her trunk into the bamboo basket, picking up a handful of cherry blossom petals.

Just like throwing sand, she scattered the petals outside.

Bobo, Meilan, and a few other elephants also started scattering cherry blossoms!

Instantly, a dazzling shower of cherry blossoms filled the air, forming a captivating floral curtain.

The pink petals, glistening in the bright sunlight, looked like delicate, beautiful butterflies, dancing in the pleasant spring breeze.

The cherry blossoms, carried by the spring wind, floated onto Fang Ye and Lan Li.

Fang Ye turned his head and gently asked, "How do you like it?"

Under the pink cherry blossom shower, Lan Li, dressed in her white wedding gown, looked even more radiant and stunning.

Lan Li nodded vigorously, her face blushing, and smiled brightly, "I love it!"

"Wow!!!!"

"So beautiful! So romantic!!"

"Elephants as flower girls, what a creative idea! How did they train these animals!?"

"Calm down, the director is a grand druid. I wouldn't be surprised if a lion officiates the wedding later!"

"This is the most amazing wedding I've ever seen! Way cooler than any Lamborghini luxury car!"

"The bride is so beautiful, and the groom is so handsome!"

The crowd excitedly snapped photos, chatted animatedly, and some girls even screamed in excitement!

The massive elephants, combined with the joy of cherry blossom viewing, created an unparalleled visual delight.

Elephants scattering cherry blossoms to celebrate the wedding, combining these elements, offered an unforgettable and stunning experience!

The guests would probably never forget this scene for the rest of their lives.

Tangbao, seeing the cherry blossom shower, happily ran around, occasionally pouncing on the petals like they were little bugs, pressing them to the ground.

After scattering a few times, Meiling stopped.

Her trunk reached out, making her intentions very clear.

We're at a wedding, where's our red envelope? You can't just make elephants work without feeding them!

Xiao Kong handed her an apple!

To an elephant, an apple is like a candy, gone with a single bite.

After eating a few apples, Meiling was satisfied.

She raised her trunk and let out a loud trumpet, seemingly her blessing for the newlyweds.

The sound echoed far and wide, resonating throughout the zoo.

Pingping and Meilan, seeing Meiling eating apples, also looked over eagerly.

Fang Ye laughed, "Everyone gets some!"

He handed out apples to the elephants, who, after finishing their treats, contentedly dispersed and continued their activities.

Passing through the mixed-species area, sika deer and roe deer were leisurely grazing and strolling, with the lake shimmering in the background.

Tangbao clung to the railing, excitedly "ying ying" calling out.

Isn't this my old home? And there's my neighbor, the sika deer! Hey, did you miss me!

Huh, where are the rock sheep? And what's that animal with a white heart on its butt?

Clinging to Fang Ye's leg, its tail wagging, Tangbao wanted to share its joy.

Fang Ye smiled, "I know, I know!"

A young sika deer emerged from behind the trees, tilting its head cutely and looking at them curiously, "Naa! Naa!"

Goldie Martin flew to the railing, greeting warmly, "Hello, I'm Goldie Martin! Let's be friends?"

The young sika deer was quickly called away by its cautious mother, as if saying, don't play with strangers!

Goldie Martin regretfully shook its head and flew back to Fang Ye's shoulder.

At the gibbon exhibit, Sunny and Sunshine were singing their morning songs, proclaiming their territory.

Sunny had been quite heartbroken after losing contact with her cousin, feeling down for a while. But after six months, time had healed her wounds, and she returned to her usual self.

Sometimes, she would sit alone at the highest point, singing melancholic love songs, hoping for the return of the girl she had never met.

Swinging gracefully from one tree to another, she sang loudly.

"Oh~ oh~~ oh ee~~"

"Ah oh~ oh~~"

The sound, like a dancing bird, rose and fell, melodious and beautiful.

A guest exclaimed, "Wow, is that a monkey singing? It's my first time hearing a monkey sing, and it sounds pretty good!"

"It's not a monkey, it's a gibbon! Monkeys just chatter noisily, very annoying."

A keeper explained to the guests, "Gibbons are very loyal animals! Once they become a couple, they stay together for life, never abandoning each other. Even if their partner grows old or becomes disabled, they won't think of finding a new mate but will support each other."

After hearing the explanation, the guests understood why the newlyweds came to listen to the gibbons sing.

What could be a more beautiful wedding blessing than the song of the gibbons?

Fang Ye and Lan Li held hands, quietly listening to their songs, feeling their souls being cleansed.

They then arrived at the cherry blossom forest, the official venue for the wedding!

The ceremony was scheduled for noon; the earlier events were just the procession, with plenty of time before the actual start.

They would serve tea to both sets of parents and take wedding photos in various scenic spots like the cherry blossom forest, the Butterfly Pavilion, the Tiger Pavilion, and the mixed-species area.

Guests could sit and chat or, if interested, wander around the zoo to see the animals.

Fang Ye generously provided delicious strawberries grown in his backyard with spiritual soil and water!

Someone took a bite of the strawberry and immediately widened their eyes, praising it endlessly.

After serving tea to their parents, Fang Ye and Lan Li went to take their photos.
