Lion Feather looked over and saw that blood was flowing continuously from Cat Nine's arm.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Tang was completely unharmed.

"I thought you had been attacked by wild animals. You should go back quickly; it's not safe here."

He protected Su Tang as they walked back.

Su Tang avoided his outstretched hand and looked at Mao Jiu with a meaningful gaze. "Let me help you. Your injury needs to be treated."

"Th-thank you." Mao Jiu didn't dare to refuse, her whole body stiff as Su Tang supported her.

Like a doll, passively moving forward.

Seeing this, Lion Feather was not angry and followed behind the two, not noticing the chicken blood on the ground in the distance.

Once back at their resting place, Mao Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, it belatedly came to his senses.

Strange, it was clearly Atang who did those things just now, so why is she so nervous and guilty?

Turning to look at Atang again, she had a calm and ordinary expression, as if nothing had just happened.

When the two returned, they found that only Lion Feather had come back; Lion Sky had not yet returned, probably because the two were not hunting in the same place.

Lion Feather brought back two prey.

"A-Tang, you and Zai-Zai must be hungry. I'll start a fire right now and roast some meat for you."

These past few days, Su Tang has insisted on cooking meat over a fire every time she eats it, refusing to eat raw meat, twice a day without fail.

With Lion Feather present, Lion Sky had no choice but to comply, which delayed their journey considerably.

As Shi Ling spoke, he went to get a flint and steel and started a fire.

Seeing that Lion Feather's eyes were only on A-Tang, Cat Nine suddenly fell into deep self-doubt.

How could she have been interested in a male like that before?

Looking at Lion Feather now, it's like looking at a complete idiot.

No, if Lion Feather is an idiot, then she herself is a complete idiot...

Su Tang used a dagger to cut off a section of her skirt and used the fabric to bandage Mao Jiu's wound as a way of thanking her for her help.

Cat Nine immediately became as docile as a little quail, and didn't dare to move when Su Tang approached.

After Su Tang finished bandaging, she whispered, "Thank you."

The shadow that Su Tang left in her heart was something that couldn't be shaken off in a short time.

This time it was Su Tang's turn to be surprised.

Has Cat Nine really reformed itself after being caught twice? How come it suddenly became so polite?

She found it quite difficult to adapt.

Su Tang pursed her lips. Sure enough, people grow stronger in adversity.

...

In a depression deep in the forest.

A lion is fighting with a large black bear.

The giant black bear is two to three times the size of an ordinary black bear, but it cannot gain any advantage in front of a male lion.

After a fierce fight, the big black bear was soon covered in wounds.

The lion leaped up and slammed its paw heavily onto the black bear's head. Exhausted, the black bear was bitten through the throat by the lion's sharp fangs before it could react.

"roar!"

Lion let out a triumphant growl and dragged the black bear's carcass back.

We caught such a big prey today, enough for the female and her cubs to eat.

We can take some with us on the road, which will save us a lot of time traveling tomorrow.

Just as Lion Sky was catching his breath, another huge black shadow crashed in from behind, and a bear paw as hard as a stone hammer sent him flying.

Lion's head started buzzing instantly.

Oh shit!

There was another one; the black bears in this den were a pair.

Lion Sky rolled around on the ground more than a dozen times before crashing into a tree and finally stopping.

He got up, and his claws inadvertently scratched a red and green plant in the grass next to him. Milky white liquid immediately flowed out from the damaged plant's roots.

Lion Sky felt a chill on its paws and shook them forcefully.

His attention was entirely focused on the ferocious black bear that had suddenly appeared in front of him.

This black bear is female.

Its strength is much greater than that of the black bear from before.

Wild beasts and orcs are different; sometimes, female beasts are more ferocious than male beasts.

"Roar!"

Upon seeing the carcass of another black bear on the ground, the mother bear roared violently and charged towards Lion Sky with a thud.

Lion Sky's eyes revealed murderous intent.

Perfect, we won't need to hunt at all tomorrow.

After another fierce battle, Lion King finally managed to kill the mother black bear after expending some effort.

For some reason, he seemed unusually tired today; he was already feeling somewhat exhausted after killing just two black bears.

Lion Sky thought it was probably because he had been traveling for the past few days without getting proper rest, and food had to be prioritized for the females and cubs, so he hadn't had a full meal.

After catching his breath for a moment, Lion felt a slight itch in his forefoot.

They rubbed themselves against the ground several times before dragging the two large black bears back.

Under the tree.

The sky had already darkened.

The fire crackled and popped as it burned.

As usual, Su Tang took out peanut oil to grill meat, but today she didn't let the kids eat too much. They ate about half full and then she stopped them from eating any more.

Feeling sleepy after a full meal is common, so Su Tang controls her portion sizes.

Cat Nine has become much more alert these past few days.

She observed Su Tang and Zai Zai every day, and after noticing that Su Tang wasn't eating much, she didn't dare to eat more either.

Just follow Su Tang's lead.

They had two prey animals, and after they finished eating them today, there were still some left over.

"A-Tang, you don't need to save any for us. My father will bring back more game later, so there will definitely be enough for us. You should eat more."

Lion Feather thought that Su Tang was only eating so little so that they would have more to eat.

After all, everyone had witnessed his previous appetite.
