Chapter 20 (2/2)

At this moment, there was a sudden noise behind him!

He jumped in fright, thinking that the lion had woken up and was coming over while concealing himself!

He turned around and saw that it was Mei Mei.

The little lioness bit the remaining half of her thigh and followed behind him. She came to Lars and Gigi’s side and placed the food in front of them.

She rubbed against Chu Xiaoye’s body in a fawning manner, narrowed her amber eyes, and seemed to be saying, “Brother, is Meimei smart? I knew that you were going to give the remaining food to Brother and Sister Gigi.”

Chu Xiaoye was instantly speechless.

He planned to hang that half of the thigh on the canopy to dry. He would eat it the next time he was hungry!

Forget it. Since she had taken it down, he would let them eat it.

Lars was already more than a year old. This little flesh was not enough for him to eat.

Chu Xiaoye sighed and reached out with his claws to slap Lars and Gigi awake. He pointed at the food in front of them and then at the lion not far away, hoping that they would make less noise and not wake up their greedy and cold father.

While Lars and Gigi were in a daze, Chu Xiaoye had already left with Mei Mei and climbed up the tree.

They must have thought that they were dreaming.

Soon, Lars and Gigi wolfed down the food and even started biting and snatching it.

After all, there was very little food and it was only enough for one of them.

Lars was more than a year old and was the oldest among the cubs. He was also a lion, so he was naturally much stronger than Gigi. With a few slashes, Gigi crawled on the ground and cried out in grievance and anger.

The lion was woken up.

Just as Lars was proudly chewing on the half of the deer’s thigh, a strong and huge claw suddenly slapped him and he fell to the ground with a bang. He was dizzy and could not get up for a long time.

The lion roared angrily and snatched the remaining half of the deer thigh and the remaining portion of deer head away with one bite and left to enjoy it alone.

Gigi shivered in fear and did not dare to say another word.

Lars lay on the ground, panting. His gaze as he looked at the lion was filled with hatred and anger.

Perhaps the seed of hatred was buried at this moment.

When he grew up, it would take root and germinate!

When he became stronger, his father would grow older and weaker.

At that time, the new king would replace the old king!

Chu Xiaoye stood on the tree and watched as the father and son fought for food. He also thought of what Lars was thinking.

However, he also thought of something Lars did not expect.

When the young male lions of the pride grow up, they might be chased away by the lion king at the age of two or three!

At that time, the young lion would become a wandering lion, homeless, and lonely.

He would have no home, no food, no territory, and would be bullied by all sorts of social animals and other lions. He could lose his life at any moment.

A lion that left a pride would have a very low survival rate.

Chu Xiaoye thought of the future of Lars and himself and Little Curly Tail. Hence, he had to become stronger while he still had the time to.

Even if he was chased out of the pride and wandered around, he could hunt, fight, and live on his own!

Lars thought too simply.

No lion would foolishly wait for their cubs to grow up under the protection of a pride and then snatch their throne.

Their father especially, would never do so.

On the distant horizon, the five female lions returned exhausted, bathing in the bright moonlight.

Their mouths were empty, and they returned empty-handed again.

The lion finished eating the deer’s remaining flesh and stood up, looking at the distant grassland with a cold and deep gaze.

The night wind blew.

The heat in the air grew stronger.

It seemed like it was time to make a decision.
