nThe night grew darker.

n

n

nIn the distant horizon, the figures of the four female lions finally appeared!

n

n

n

n

nChu Xiaoye stood at the top of the tree and could not help but let out a childish roar. He finally heaved a sigh of relief.

n

n

nAlthough the four female lions did not seem to have brought back any prey.

n

n

nThe lion stood up from the grass and raised its head, looking into the distance with a dignified gaze.

n

n

nHis tail that was shaking anxiously suddenly stopped.

n

n

n

n

nHe saw it.

n

n

nThe lionesses returned empty-handed.

n

n

nThis meant that he still had nothing to eat tonight.

n

n

nThe lion let out a hoarse growl and bared its teeth, looking very angry.

n

n

n

n

nNot long after.

n

n

nThe four female lions returned dejectedly.

n

n

nEvery female lion had scratch marks and bloodstains on her body.

n

n

nThere was a lioness whose tail had been cut off. She hung her head and looked extremely miserable.

n

n

nThey searched for a long time and finally found prey at the edge of the territory.

n

n

nHowever, while hunting, they accidentally crossed the border and entered the territory of another pride.

n

n

n

n

nThe prey that they had painstakingly caught was snatched away. Under the leadership of the male lion, the opposing pride angrily attacked and bit them.

n

n

nThey did not want to give up their prey, but they could only flee.

n

n

nOtherwise, they would lose their lives.

n

n

nIf their lion was here, perhaps that prey could be brought back.

n

n

nLooking at the hungry children, and the lion roaring angrily, the four female lions, lowered their heads, feeling guilty and sad.

n

n

nThe lioness, whose tail had been bitten off, lowered her head and wanted to rub against the lion’s body as an apology.

n

n

nHowever, she was slapped in the face by the lion, coldly and heartlessly.

n

n

nThe four female lions were riddled with scars, tired and hungry, but they had no choice but to lie down beside their cubs and feed them.

n

n

n

n

nThe lion looked at them coldly before turning to leave. Soon, he disappeared into the night.

n

n

nSince the female lions were useless, he could only take advantage of the night to find something to eat.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye stood on the tree and watched his cold figure leave coldly.

n

n

nDue to the lush mane of male lions, it was extremely easy for their prey to discover them when they hunted during the day. Before they could approach, the prey might have already sensed them and fled.

n

n

nTherefore, in a pride, the lionesses were usually in charge of hunting.

n

n

nWhen there was a lack of food, prides would take the risk to hunt large and dangerous animals like giraffes and water buffaloes.

n

n

nAt this time, the lion would help.

n

n

nWhen the prey was surrounded by the lionesses, the lion would suddenly pounce on them and bite their necks, using their heavy bodies to drag the prey to the ground. Then, the lionesses could pounce on them together to kill them.

n

n

nAs for Chu Xiaoye’s pride, he had never seen the lion hunting with the female lions ever since he could remember.

n

n

nEven if he had not eaten for a few days.

n

n

nAlthough he had just become a cub, the past was still imprinted in his body’s memory.

n

n

nIn his memory, this majestic father was more cold and selfish than any other father.

n

n

nOf course, he was also lazy.

n

n

n

n

n“Roar!”

n

n

nAisha called out to him from under the tree.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye looked down and saw that Little Curly Tail was already lying beside his mother and drinking milk.

n

n

nThis kid had just eaten at Xi’er’s place, and now he was eating again. It seemed like the afternoon training had really tired him out.

n

n

nAlthough he sympathized with his mother’s hunger and fatigue, Chu Xiaoye still climbed down from the tree and went to eat.

n

n

nOnly when he was full could he grow up and become stronger!

n

n

nOnly by being strong could he protect his mother and help her share her burdens and responsibilities.

n

n

nAs for that cold father, he could not be counted on.

n

n

nHe only hoped that he could guard his territory well, defeat those invaders, and fulfill his duties as a father and husband slightly.

n

n

nThe night was hazy.

n

n

nAfter eating their fill, the cubs all leaned against their mothers and fell asleep.

n

n

nAs for the five female lions, they were frowning and did not feel sleepy at all.

n

n

nThe water sources nearby started to dry up. The herbivores were already migrating.

n

n

nThe prey on this grassland seemed to have disappeared overnight and it was difficult to find them again.

n

n

nIf they wanted to continue hunting and nurturing their children, they could only follow their prey and migrate to the edge of the territory to settle down.

n

n

nBut.

n

n

nIt was very dangerous there.

n

n

nNot only were there other prides, there were also many other carnivores. If the cubs lived there, they would be threatened every day.

n

n

nHowever, if they did not move, they could only starve every day.

n

n

nEven if they could occasionally catch prey, they, who needed to feed their children, and the strong male lion, could not eat their fill.

n

n

nIf they could not fill their stomachs, they would not have the strength to hunt or nurture their children.

n

n

nIf the lion could not eat its fill, if a wandering lion invaded or they encountered a sneak attack by those vile hyenas, he would probably be defeated and flee, or die in defeat.

n

n

nBy then, none of their children would survive.

n

n

nSo…

n

n

nAt this moment, the five female lions looked at each other in the dark. They were silent, but they were thinking about the migration of the herbivores.

n

n

nBut they were also worried about the children.

n

n

nThe complex thoughts of the five mothers were revealed in their eyes even though they did not express them.

n

n

nThe night was silent.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye was still sleeping on the tree.

n

n

nThe python from last night had indeed frightened him quite a bit.

n

n

nHowever, he might be able to survive against a python. However, if he were to face a lion or some other carnivore, the current him would definitely not be able to resist.

n

n

nHe had angered the lion during the day.

n

n

nAlthough that lion was his father, he was not sure if he would take advantage of him sleeping to suddenly rush over and bite him to death.

n

n

nA lion was violent and heartless.

n

n

nWhether it was on television or in his past memories, he remembered them deeply.

n

n

nFurthermore, his father was currently hungry.

n

n

nHence, he only dared to sleep on the tree.

n

n

nThe female lions could not sleep, and neither could he.

n

n

nAlthough there was a strange and powerful bead in his body emitting a strange heat that made him completely reborn and gradually become stronger.

n

n

nHowever, he was still a cub and was not really strong.

n

n

nIf he encountered danger, he would still be unable to protect himself.

n

n

nThe situation of the pride was already very dangerous.

n

n

nWithout food, they had to move.

n

n

nWhether it was on the road or in the new residence, it was full of unknown dangers for cubs like them.

n

n

nIf they were not careful, they would become food for other carnivores.

n

n

nHe was lucky that he did not die and turned into a lion. He wanted to grow into a majestic lion and flaunt his might on the grassland. He wanted to dominate the world!

n

n

nHis dream had yet to be realized. How could he die so quickly?

n

n

n“Roar!”

n

n

nWhile he was lost in his thoughts, he heard a childish roar.

n

n

nMei Mei climbed up the tree and lay beside him.

n

n

nThe scent of milk on the lioness cub and her gentle and obedient appearance instantly made him feel much less depressed.

n

n

nWho cares.

n

n

nNo matter how difficult tomorrow was, he would try his best to live every day well.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye rubbed her head with his claws and a human-like smile appeared on his face.

n

n

nThe night was quiet and the moonlight was gentle.

n

n

nThe siblings lay quietly on the tree and fell asleep.
