nEvening.

n

n

nThe light of dusk fell upon the boundless grassland.

n

n

n

n

nIt was beautiful and also bloody.

n

n

nA female lion was injured and her left eye was dripping with blood. She was stabbed in the eye by an animal’s horn.

n

n

nShe crawled on the ground sadly, her body trembling from the pain.

n

n

nNo one went to comfort her.

n

n

n

n

nOther than her daughter, a five to six-month-old lioness cub.

n

n

nBecause the fur color of this lioness cub was more golden and beautiful than that of other cubs, Chu Xiaoye gave her a name—Meimei.

n

n

nMei Mei went to her mother’s side and touched her forehead. Then, she lay quietly beside her and accompanied her.

n

n

nShe seemed to be able to understand her mother’s sorrow.

n

n

n

n

nThe lioness looked at her daughter lovingly with her remaining eye and then at the grassland in the distance.

n

n

nShe would have a harder time hunting in the future after she was blinded in one eye.

n

n

nHowever, her daughter was still young.

n

n

nRight now, she could only try her best to please the other lionesses and try to make them like her daughter. This was so that they would share some precious food in the future.

n

n

nThe mother and daughter quietly leaned against each other, bathing in the light of setting sun.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail crawled over stealthily from the bushes, then suddenly jumped up and pounced on Mei Mei.

n

n

n

n

nMei Mei was frightened and jumped onto her mother’s back.

n

n

nThe female lion took a glance and ignored them.

n

n

nThe cubs were playing and training their hunting skills while doing so.

n

n

nHowever, her daughter seemed to be a little introverted and timid. She never dared to face the enemy head-on and liked to run away.

n

n

nShe felt helpless too.

n

n

nLittle Curly Hair also jumped onto her back and continued to hit Mei Mei.

n

n

nSeeing that her mother did not care about her, Mei Mei could only jump off her back and continue to flee towards another direction.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail was very excited and quickly followed behind her.

n

n

n

n

nMei Mei was flustered. She knew that the female lions would not save her, and her half-brothers and sisters were also afraid of Little Curly Tail.

n

n

nExcept for this rascal’s older brother.

n

n

nThus, Mei Mei cleverly ran towards Chu Xiaoye and hid behind his butt.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye was lying in the bushes and resting. He really wanted to fart and chase this little female cub away.

n

n

nBut he thought about it and felt that she was pitiful.

n

n

nShe did not even know that her mother was blinded in one eye yet.

n

n

nHence, he stood up lazily, arched his body, stretched his back, and turned around skillfully. He aimed his butt at his brother who was sprinting over excitedly with his tail swinging.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail’s expression changed. He suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around, and ran away.

n

n

nHis older brother was angry. He was going to let out a very smelly fart to chase him away!

n

n

nHe was so scared!

n

n

nMom!

n

n

nBrother is bullying me…

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail ran away to his mother’s side and complained about his brother’s bullying.

n

n

n

n

nHe and Chu Xiaoye’s mother was a beautiful, young, loving and gentle lioness named Aisha.

n

n

nOf course, this was the name Chu Xiaoye gave her.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye’s initial rejection turned into acceptance.

n

n

nHe could clearly feel Aisha’s love for him and his brother.

n

n

nThe cub’s body was flowing with Aisha’s blood and aura. It was full of dependence and respect for Aisha.

n

n

nEven if he occupied it, he still could not change these feelings.

n

n

nThat was his mother.

n

n

nAisha ignored Little Curly Tail’s complaint.

n

n

nShe was resting to replenish her energy.

n

n

nThe night in Kakivaro was not peaceful.

n

n

nEspecially for a small life without the ability to protect itself.

n

n

nEven the king of this land.

n

n

nHyenas, wild dogs, wolves, leopards, and other carnivores would seize every opportunity to kill their competitors’ children.

n

n

nWith one less young competitor, their descendants would have one less enemy to fight for food with in the future.

n

n

nTherefore, the lionesses would be more careful at night.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye chased Little Curly Tail away.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye lay down again and thought with melancholy about how he would live life as a lion in the future.

n

n

nIn order to survive, he had to become stronger.

n

n

nMei Mei, who was hiding behind him, saw him lying down and pretending to be dead again. Hence, she reached out with her soft paws and scratch his butt, wanting to wake him up to play.

n

n

nAt least, Chu Xiaoye would not bully her. In fact, he would even protect her.

n

n

nShe was willing to play with this melancholic male cub.

n

n

nBut.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye ignored her.

n

n

nHe continued to play dead.

n

n

nHe even closed his eyes.

n

n

nSuddenly!

n

n

nA low and terrifying roar came from afar!

n

n

nThis was the voice of a lion!

n

n

nBut.

n

n

nThis was not the cry of the lion king of this territory!

n

n

nThe female lions lying on the ground all stood up and looked in the direction of the cry with nervous expressions.

n

n

nDid a wandering lion invade their territory?

n

n

nIf their king could not make it back in time, or if he couldn’t defeat this invading lion after returning,

n

n

nThen, their children would be in danger!

n

n

nThe new male lion would kill all the little cubs and mate with the lionesses again to produce his own offspring!

n

n

nTherefore, at this very moment, these five female lions were panicking and uneasy, their gazes fixed on the distant grassland.

n

n

nThe little cubs also felt the tension in the atmosphere. They quietened down and stopped making a ruckus.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye got up from the ground and cursed his bad luck.

n

n

nIn this situation, he could only pray that his father, the majestic lion king, would appear and defeat the other party!

n

n

nFor the first time, he felt how weak he was and how fragile his life was.

n

n

nIf a new Lion King were to be crowned, he, Little Curly Tail, Mei Mei, and the cubs would all be killed!

n

n

nThat could not happen.

n

n

nHe had to strengthen his ability to protect himself.

n

n

nIf he relied solely on the protection of his father and mother, he might not even live to adulthood.

n

n

nLooking at the quiet Little Curly Tail and the trembling Mei Mei beside him, Chu Xiaoye raised his little paw and made a decision.

n

n

nI can’t just wait for death.

n

n

nGod gave him a chance to live again. Even though he was a lion, he should work hard to survive.

n

n

nHe had to fight!

n

n

nHe had to fight for his life and strive for success!

n

n

nHe had to become stronger!

n

n

nHe had to defeat the enemy and protect his family!

n

n

n“Roar—”

n

n

nAnother lion’s roar suddenly sounded!

n

n

nThis was his father’s roar!

n

n

nHis father, the majestic and cool strong male lion, finally returned from the borders of the territory and stopped the invading lion!

n

n

nThe roars were endless!

n

n

nThe two lions seemed to have started fighting.

n

n

nThe lionesses looked on nervously.

n

n

nThe little cubs shivered as they hid beside their mothers, waiting anxiously for their father’s triumphant return or his death.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye raised his claws and patted Mei Mei, who was trembling all over. He looked calm and looked as if he was saying, “Sister, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

n

n

nTheir father was in his prime and should not be defeated.

n

n

nUnless the other party was his brother.

n

n

nIf he was really defeated, it would be their fate. It was useless to be afraid.

n

n

nThe sun finally set.
