You Plan To Kill Me With Meng? - Chapter 53.1 - Prairie Lions Alliance (08)
When the other party walked and paused, always keeping his gaze on him, Qiao Qixi became increasingly certain that this young male lion wanted to make contact.
Perhaps he wanted to sniff each other’s scent on the grass, including the special areas.
Animals are just like that.
Then, if both sides are satisfied, will regret having not met sooner and hug and roll around playfully, which can also be seen as a ceremonial gesture of alliance among the male lions.
But Qiao Qixi didn’t want to be allies with this male lion, not just because he was thinking about Odis in his heart.
When the male lion approached, before Qiao Qixi could react, he heard several intense huffing sounds. When he looked, the little rascals that were originally scattered and lazily wandering around had all unexpectedly, one by one, hunched their bodies, fur all bristled.
They wrinkled the skin on their noses and huffed fiercely at the male lion.
Oh, you’ve improved, huh?
Previously, when they encountered danger, they would only hide under his belly; now, just having grown a little, they actually dared to show their claws at the male lion.
Qiao Qixi appreciated their commendable courage, but to be honest, having courage without strategy is too underestimating the enemy, okay?
The little lions are now just tender skins; provoking the male lion would no doubt lead to their doom.
To avoid the occurrence of a bloody incident, Qiao Qixi decided to ignore the male lion’s friendly gesture. He backed away, let out a low growl towards the cubs, and turned around to leave.
If the other party expresses no interest in forming an alliance, a dignified lion would choose to give up. However, there are also particularly ‘infatuated’ cases where one will continue to follow the ally they desire until the other party accepts their friendly gesture or drives them away.
Which situation, varies depending on the lion.
Jeremy was rejected. The photographers felt sorry for him from a distance, but they also understood Alexander’s concerns. Perhaps Alexander didn’t dislike Jeremy; he was just worried that the little lions wouldn’t get along with him.
From the current situation, it seems they really don’t get along.
From the moment the little lions saw Jeremy, they completely changed from their usual gentle and adorable selves to being aggressive and fierce; in short, showing tons of aversion to Jeremy’s approach.
This way, an alliance cannot be formed.
Feeling the hostility and indifference, Jeremy seemed to realize he was unwelcome, so he stopped.
“It feels so wronged…” The onlookers felt pity.
Through the lens, Jeremy’s gaze still followed Qiao Qixi avoiding him like a snake or scorpion, his(Jeremy) expression full of helplessness, as if he hadn’t expected his first initiative gesture of goodwill to end up so poorly.
In the end, he still made the decision to continue following, and his intention to proceed gradually was evident.
After walking for a while, Qiao Qixi noticed that the friendly lion was still following him, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed. This guy is a bit stubborn, huh?
It didn’t matter to him personally, after all, this lion wouldn’t fight him.
The problem is that the other party affects the little lions around him; haven’t seen them all, fur tensing up, their eyes never leaving the male lion?
Qiao Qixi felt helpless; he couldn’t defeat the male lion, and he had no good way to drive it away. He could only take a few steps back and grab the scruff of the bold little white lion rushing at the front, bringing the audacious cub back.
“Aow…” The white lion, who had been quite fierce before, curled up into a ball the moment it was picked up, obediently tucking in its claws.
However, from an angle that Qiao Qixi couldn’t see, his pair of icy blue eyes always remained cold and hostile, glaring at the male lion across from him.
Actually, it’s not that he’s audacious; perhaps he’s just driven mad with anger.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t use his small cub body to challenge a male lion that can already survive on its own; this goes against the nature of little lions.
Just now, Qiao Qixi was startled: Could it be that my way of raising the cubs is wrong?
With a whole litter of cubs being so stubborn, it seems they have suffered too few severe beatings in normal times.
The remaining few cubs saw Qiao Qixi toss their brother onto the grass, and then he angrily roared at them. Well, this is a lion language that Qiao Qixi invented, in addition to his bear talk; regardless of whether the little lions could get his meaning or not. Anyway, he likes to nag, and whether they listened or not, they had to.
Upon hearing the roar, the little lions were not scared, but they still had to give face, so they quite cooperatively retracted their claws and returned to Qiao Qixi’s side to nuzzle him.
Except for the third one.
This mysterious lion stood between the unfamiliar male lion and its own pride, and coolly licked its paw.
Miantuan, who was tossed onto the ground sat up and slowly licked his paw.
What’s up?
Is the rebellious phase here?
Qiao Qixi didn’t care about them; it seemed he finally realized that half-grown cubs shouldn’t be spoiled, so he directly left taking Da Yuanzi and the other two brothers.
Lao San and Lao Wu stayed for a while, and the third one got up first, leisurely following along. At that moment, Miantuan finally stood up to guard the back for his brothers.
“This white lion is really bold…”
“No, I remember last time he was scared by a little lizard that suddenly jumped out and even went to Alexander to act cute.”
“Very clever* boy.”
T/N: *here, more of strategizing and scheming
Continuing on the road, Qiao Qixi occasionally looked back to see if the lion had left, while also checking on Miantuan’s situation. He saw that Miantuan was still walking at the very back, wearing a rarely seen serious expression.
Of course, when their eyes met, it didn’t seem so serious anymore.
But he also didn’t come forward to act cute; it seemed he was wary of the unfamiliar lion, or perhaps he was upset about having been thrown down earlier.
Based on Qiao Qixi’s understanding of Miantuan, he thought it should be the former ba?
