nThe night grew darker.

n

n

nThe exhausted pride fell asleep.

n

n

n

n

nThe cold father also returned from the hill and returned to the bushes to rest.

n

n

nThe low growl of his neighbor, the Seno brothers, only lasted for a moment before they stopped.

n

n

nThe hot weather made their mouths dry and they did not dare to expend too much energy and water.

n

n

nIt was quiet in the bushes.

n

n

n

n

nCatherine lay in the bushes with her eyes open. She was dizzy and could not sleep.

n

n

nMei Mei placed the deer meat in front of her.

n

n

nAlthough she was hungry, she did not have the strength to eat.

n

n

nShe felt weak all over and felt her body getting hotter and hotter, her bones hurting more and more.

n

n

n

n

nShe felt like she was about to die.

n

n

nShe was sick.

n

n

nPerhaps it was a disease that could make her never stand up again.

n

n

nHer mother was not far from her in the neighboring territory, but she did not miss her.

n

n

nEven though she was about to die, she had no intention of seeing her again.

n

n

nShe was just an abandoned child.

n

n

n

n

nShe had long lost her home and family.

n

n

nNow, in her heart, there was only that figure that let her life regain hope and light.

n

n

nMoonlight poured down like water.

n

n

nHe lay quietly on the Baobab tree, seemingly asleep.

n

n

nHe must be very tired today.

n

n

nUnfortunately, she would never see him hunting again. She would never be able to eat the food he left behind.

n

n

nCatherine’s vision grew blurry.

n

n

nHer body was burning hot, but her heart was cold.

n

n

n

n

nJust as she was about to close her eyes and fall asleep, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye walked in front of her with the water bag in his mouth.

n

n

nThe little lioness looked sick and was seriously ill. She might lose her life.

n

n

nOn this vast grassland, be it adult lions or young cubs, they were all afraid of disease.

n

n

nMany lions died silently from illness.

n

n

nIn the dry season, disease was especially prevalent.

n

n

nThe little lioness’s body was fragile. She ate one day and went hungry the next and did not have her mother’s care and concern for her. It was inevitable that she would be depressed and have poor immunity.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye was not a doctor. Even a doctor could not do anything in this situation.

n

n

nHe could only come over to give her some water and spit in the water.

n

n

nHe was not sure if his saliva could kill the bacteria in her body. He could only try.

n

n

nIf she could not be saved, she had to be resigned to her fate.

n

n

nIn this cruel animal world, life withered every moment. She was not alone.

n

n

nCatherine raised her head with difficulty and widened her eyes, looking at him in a daze, as if she was dreaming.

n

n

n

n

nHe was here.

n

n

nHe had brought water to see her.

n

n

nDid he know that she left?

n

n

nAt the last moment of her life, she was happy to be able to stay so close to him, to be able to see him so closely, and to be cared for by him.

n

n

nEven if she died now, she would be satisfied.

n

n

nShe did not dare to look at him. She lowered her head in shame and stuck out her tongue, licking the water in the water bag gratefully and reservedly.

n

n

nThe water was sweet and fragrant.

n

n

nA cool sensation flowed down her throat and into her body, seemingly extinguishing the hot flames in her body.

n

n

nShe suddenly perked up and continued to lick the water in the water bag.

n

n

nSuch sweet and cool water!

n

n

nWas this a psychological factor?

n

n

nPerhaps, it was because he had sent it over.

n

n

nSeeing that she was enjoying her drink, Chu Xiaoye extended his claws and pushed the deer meat on the ground in front of her. Then, he rubbed her head to comfort her.

n

n

nHe seemed to be saying, “Girl, don’t be afraid. It’s okay. You should eat and drink. I’ll bury your corpse if you die.”

n

n

nCatherine raised her head and looked at him with watery eyes. She was in a daze, as if she had suddenly become stupid.

n

n

nShe had never enjoyed such gentleness, such an intimate gesture that made her heart race and warm up.

n

n

nHer eyes trembled and she could not help but extend her head forward, wanting him to continue touching her.

n

n

nBut.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye had already turned around and left, crawling into the bushes at the back.

n

n

nHe planned to see if there were any more prey nearby.

n

n

nFor a sick cub, fresh meat would definitely be more nutritious and delicious.

n

n

nCatherine watched his retreating figure, and her eyes gradually narrowed in drunkenness.

n

n

nHer appetite suddenly increased and she seemed to have recovered some strength.

n

n

nShe lowered her head, drank the entire bag of water, and ate the deer meat clean.

n

n

nThen, she quietly lay in the bushes and fell asleep.

n

n

nThe night was quiet and the moonlight was bright.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye walked into the orchard at the back and hid in the dense grass for a while. He did not see any prey.

n

n

nUntil dawn, they still found nothing.

n

n

nIt seemed that life would become more and more difficult in the future.

n

n

nAs for whether that female cub could survive the illness, he could only leave it to fate.

n

n

n“Roar —”

n

n

nJust as he stood up from the grass and was about to turn around and leave, a familiar roar suddenly came from the forest not far away.

n

n

nIt was the cry of a little leopard.

n

n

nHowever, this cry seemed to be filled with fear. Her voice was trembling.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye hesitated for a moment and walked over.

n

n

nA sharp stench suddenly assaulted him, making him almost want to puke!

n

n

nIn front of him, there was a thick patterned python coiled at the bottom of a big tree!

n

n

nThe little leopard was wrapped around the tree trunk by the python. Although it struggled, it was useless. It let out low cries and its eyes were filled with fear.

n

n

nShe did not know where her mother went.

n

n

nUnder normal circumstances, pythons were on leopards’ recipes.

n

n

nHowever, as long as there was a chance, the python would eat the leopard cub and not show mercy!

n

n

nThe little leopard had clearly been caught by the python after being alone.

n

n

nIf her mother were beside her, it would not dare to attack even if it was given a few more guts.

n

n

nAt this moment, in fear and despair, this little leopard suddenly saw the despicable cub.

n

n

nShe was stunned for a moment before she immediately howled in panic.

n

n

nShe seemed to be saying, “Save me! Save me!”

n

n

nChu Xiaoye circled behind the python.

n

n

nThe python’s head immediately turned around vigilantly. It opened its mouth and spat out its smelly tongue. It looked at him coldly, as if it was threatening him.

n

n

nChu Xiaoye’s mood was terrible when he thought of how he was almost strangled to death by a python when he was sleeping on the tree.

n

n

nAlthough they were not the same, they still made him disgusted and angry!

n

n

n“Whoosh!”

n

n

nHe started to circle around the tree!

n

n

nThe python’s body was tightly wrapped around the tree. When it turned, its movements were much slower.

n

n

nAfter Chu Xiaoye turned a few times and saw that its reaction was too slow, he immediately lost the interest to continue playing. He waved his right claw and, with a whoosh, grabbed at its head!

n

n

nA golden light streaked across the night like a meteor!

n

n

n“Bam!”

n

n

nThe python’s flat and ferocious head instantly fell to the ground.

n

n

nThe wounds were neat, as if they had been cut by a sharp blade!

n

n

nChu Xiaoye was shocked!
