nThe lion had returned.

n

n

nThe crisis was resolved.

n

n

n

n

nThe female lion, Xi’er, crawled on the ground tiredly, panting heavily. Scarlet blood blurred her vision.

n

n

nThe wounds all over her body started to hurt intensely.

n

n

nShe shivered all over and raised her head, looking deeply at her daughter on the branch with her blood-stained eye.

n

n

nShe seemed to be saying goodbye.

n

n

n

n

nShe knew that her life had reached its end.

n

n

nHyenas often ate rotten meat, and terrifying bacteria and viruses gathered in their teeth and saliva.

n

n

nIf it was just one or two wounds, they might slowly heal.

n

n

nBut.

n

n

n

n

nNow, her entire body was covered in wounds, some so deep that her bones could be seen.

n

n

nShe had just used up all her strength and spirit. Her body was close to breaking down and there was no possibility of recovery.

n

n

nTo heal such wounds, one needed food, disinfection, and a good constitution.

n

n

nBut she did not have any of these.

n

n

nShe could only wait for death slowly.

n

n

nShe raised her head and looked at her underage daughter. Her pitiful eyes were filled with sadness and worry.

n

n

n

n

nMei Mei, who was on a branch, seemed to have sensed her emotions. She trembled as she climbed down the tree and obediently curled up beside her.

n

n

nJust like that, they snuggled up to each other and enjoyed the wonderful time of possibly Xi’er’s last day on Earth.

n

n

nUsually, when a female lion knew that it was about to die, it would quietly leave the pride of lions and its children. It would then find a secluded place and wait for death alone with dignity.

n

n

nObviously, Xi’er already had such plans.

n

n

nThe male lion chased away the hyenas and quickly returned. He glanced coldly at her, who was riddled with wounds, then raised his head to look at the young cubs on the tree. He was surprised.

n

n

nHowever, he did not express any fatherly or husbandly love. He only paused for a few seconds before turning around and lying back on the mound, waiting for food.

n

n

nWhen the four female lions returned with their prey, they immediately smelled the strong scent of blood.

n

n

nThey hurriedly put down their prey and ran over.

n

n

n

n

nWhen they saw that their children were safe and sound, they finally stopped feeling nervous and walked over. They rubbed their heads against Xi’er and brought their children to the food.

n

n

nThe lion was already sprawled in front of the food and chowing down.

n

n

nThe female lions and young cubs could only drool as they stood at the side, waiting for him to finish eating.

n

n

nNo one looked at the wounded and dying Xi’er.

n

n

nMei Mei lay next to her mother and cried out a few times. She was young, weak and obviously very sad.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye lay on a branch of the tree and watched the scene before him. He sighed in his heart, but he knew that this was the law of survival for lions.

n

n

nPity and gratitude did not exist.

n

n

nThe most important thing was to survive.

n

n

nSometimes, in order to live, they could even eat their own children.

n

n

nHis mother, Aisha, was lying on the ground, calling out to him.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail was lying beside his mother, enjoying his milk.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye glanced at Xi’er and her daughter before turning around and carefully retreating from the tree.

n

n

nHe ran to his mother’s side and drank the sweet milk.

n

n

n

n

nHe had just expended a lot of energy and was extremely tired and hungry.

n

n

nHe could already eat meat.

n

n

nIf his father still had leftovers, he would not mind taking a few bites.

n

n

nThe lion ate very slowly and was very picky.

n

n

nFirst, he would eat the prey’s glutinous internal organs, then he would eat the most tender and plump meat on the prey.

n

n

nOn the other hand, the lionesses who risked their lives to hunt and still needed to nurture their children could only drool as they waited patiently at the side.

n

n

nFinally.

n

n

nThe lion finished eating and left.

n

n

nThe four female lions immediately rushed forward.

n

n

nOnly by snatching the most meat could they feed their children.

n

n

nThe four female lions wolfed down the food!

n

n

nThe seven little cubs followed their mothers and jogged over. They ate a few pieces of meat to get used to the smell of blood on their food.

n

n

nNo one cared about Xi’er, who had just saved their children and was lying on the ground covered in blood and wounds, and her daughter.

n

n

nThe mother-daughter pair leaned against each other and stared blankly.

n

n

nThere was no resentment or anger, only helplessness and sorrow.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye pushed Little Curly Tail away with all his might and even pointed his butt at him. He threatened him with his farts and finally managed to grab a large piece of thigh meat.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail felt wronged and could only squeeze to his mother’s side to eat some meat.

n

n

nWhile they were wolfing down the meat, Chu Xiaoye dragged the piece of thigh meat back to the tree and placed it in front of Xi’er.

n

n

nThen, he ran towards the prey again and continued to snatch the meat.

n

n

nXi’er was stunned. She stared at his small and weak figure for a while before she could not resist the smell of food and immediately started eating.

n

n

nWhen Mei Mei saw that her mother had meat to eat, she obediently laid under her and started to drink milk.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye slapped Little Curly Tail and snatched another piece of meat before running back.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail howled in anger, but there was nothing he could do.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye gave Xi’er five pieces of meat, each smaller than the last.

n

n

nBecause there was not much meat to begin with, after the lion ate the best parts and the four female lions wolfed it down, there was really nothing left.

n

n

nHe was also very hungry.

n

n

nSeeing that the prey was only left with its skin and bones, he could only go over and lick the remaining flesh and blood on the bones to familiarize himself with the smell of blood.

n

n

nThen, he eagerly went to his mother’s side and drank her milk.

n

n

nAisha laid on the ground. Although she was not full, she still breastfed him and Little Curly Tail gently.

n

n

n“Roar!”

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail was angry at the sight of him. Seeing that he was enjoying his food, he could not help but extend his little paw and sneak an attack on his head.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye did not have the time to care about him. As he ate, he stuck out his butt at him and curled his tail, making a posture of farting!

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail jumped in fright. He turned around and ran away without finishing his milk.

n

n

n“Brat, in front of me, you will always be my little brother!”

n

n

nChu Xiaoye snorted inwardly.

n

n

nAfter eating.

n

n

nHe entered the bushes and walked in front of Xi’er. Without any explanation, he went straight to her side and stuck out his tongue to lick her wounds.

n

n

nXi’er was stunned. She turned her head and looked at him blankly.

n

n

nShe had planned to leave the pride when the sky turned dark and find a quiet place to wait for her death.

n

n

nThe wounds on her body had already attracted flies and were starting to get inflamed.

n

n

nShe knew that she did not have long to live.

n

n

nHence, she was bidding farewell to her daughter silently and did not want anyone to disturb her.

n

n

nBut this kid…

n

n

nWhat was he doing?

n

n

nSigh, forget it. She was about to die anyway.

n

n

nShe looked at her daughter sadly, not knowing how to say goodbye to her. She did not dare to imagine if her daughter could survive after she left.

n

n

nMei Mei stared blankly as Chu Xiaoye meticulously licked the wounds on her mother’s body. She wanted to stop him but did not dare to.

n

n

nLittle Curly Tail came close with a shocked expression.

n

n

nWhat was wrong with his brother? Was he still hungry and deciding to eat Aunt Xi’er?

n

n

nBrother is indeed scary!

n

n

nUpon seeing this scene, Little Curly Tail trembled and his respect for his brother increased!

n

n

nThe female lions rested.

n

n

nThe lion went around.

n

n

nUnder the tree.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye licked the wounds on Xi’er’s body very seriously. Almost every wound was smeared with his saliva.

n

n

nHe was not sure if it would work.

n

n

nHowever, this was the only way.

n

n

nHe could not bear to watch this mother he respected die alone miserably.

n

n

nAlthough he was a lion now.

n

n

nHis soul was still a human soul.

n

n

nHe respected and loved all mothers in the world.

n

n

nBe it humans or animals.
