Luo Yixing is a red panda spirit.
Considering that the odds of becoming a spirit are only one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand, Luo Yixing might well be the only red panda spirit in centuries, given how rare red pandas are and how they are already considered an endangered protected species.
Passerby: So what’s a red panda? Sounds pretty cute.
Luo Yixing: Call me a lesser panda! I’m a ferocious beast! Do you understand? A ferocious beast!
Full of a ferocious beast’s confidence, Luo Yixing comes down from the mountain to make his way in the world. Humans and nonhumans alike fall under the sway of his fluffy, enormous ears, ringed tail, and sharp little claws.
An ambitious young Taoist declares that his duty is to exorcise demons and vanquish evil. As for a spirit like Luo Yixing... Wait, that true form, that fluffy tail...!
A zookeeper, tired of dealing with people, says he only wants to interact with red pandas... Weird, why does the young man named Luo Yixing move his ears just like a red panda, love eating apples, and even chew on bamboo leaves when he has nothing better to do?
There’s also a leopard spirit, a natural enemy of red pandas, and a raccoon who is also a spirit but grew up among humans... Maybe that’s the power of a ferocious beast, Luo Yixing thinks.
It isn’t until much later that Luo Yixing learns that these people have never called him a ferocious beast. They call him a cute beast...
Some Leopard Spirit: (coldly) I never said you were ferocious.
Some Fuzzy-Fur Lover: (swooning) Hehehe, that big tail! Let me cuddle it...
Some Zookeeper: (petting him) It’s okay, don’t be sad. Cuteness is a kind of strength, too...
Luo Yixing: (gazing at the sky in despair) Am I really not a ferocious beast?!
Some Raccoon: (timidly raising a paw) Well, there are times when he is ferocious.
Everyone: (suddenly understanding) Ohhh, true.
...So when is he a ferocious beast? Obviously, when facing poachers. What will a red panda spirit do when he discovers that poachers have sold one of his own kind to a zoo for a fortune?
Luo Yixing: “When the lesser panda shows its claws, you’ll see I’m no sickly house cat!”
In short, this is the story of a shy, timid, childlike, and adorably clueless red panda spirit.
P.S. A friendly reminder: red pandas are also called lesser pandas. They are not baby giant pandas, so please keep that in mind~ If you don’t know what a red panda looks like, go look one up. Don’t miss out when this adorable, fierce lesser panda comes by~~
