You Plan To Kill Me With Meng? - Chapter 53.2 - Prairie Lions Alliance (08)

This situation made the parent feel somewhat conflicted; when the child is clingy and acts cute, it can be annoying, but when the child grows up a little and shows more mature behavior, Qiao Qixi again feels a bit lost.

In fact, when he picked up Miantuan just before, he already felt that Miantuan was too heavy; carrying him like this would hurt, which is why, in a hasty moment, he tossed Miantuan to the ground.

It was truly an accident.

Because of obstruction of a group of ‘oil drums,’ Jeremy had not found a breakthrough point to approach Qiao Qixi. After being patient for a while, they encountered a herd of wildebeests.

The stalemate atmosphere between the seven lions finally welcomed changed because of these wildebeests.

Qiao Qixi vowed that he was not specifically looking for wildebeests; he had just casually chosen a direction without danger to set off, planning to find a place to rest at night.

Instinctively looking at the reactions of the little lions, Qiao Qixi noticed that they had finally directed their attention to the wildebeests, but it was only a quick glance, as if they were somewhat hungry but not very hungry.

When Qiao Qixi was hesitating whether to hunt, the wandering lion tracking them passed by them and headed towards the wildebeest herd, seemingly to hunt.

Oh, Qiao Qixi thought, then byebye to you.

He was overjoyed and immediately took the cubs away from this troublesome place.

Hunting, for lions, requires a process; not every male lion has a talent for hunting. Perhaps by the time this lion catches a wildebeest, their family will have long been a thousand miles… eh, at least ten miles away.

The little male lions seemed to get Qiao Qixi’s intention and quickly followed him, even jogging on the grass. Five little tails swayed, as if showing the joy of shaking off the ‘rogue.’

Leaving the range where Jeremy could track them, the atmosphere of the little lion group clearly returned to normal.

Although the little lions couldn’t speak human language or high-five Qiao Qixi to celebrate, they would turn into whiny little sweethearts, snuggling up to Qiao Qixi, showing none of the fierce posture they had earlier when they were arching their backs and bristling.

They’re nothing more than little spoiled brats.

However, today, Miantuan has not come forward to be affectionate; he has been walking at the back.

The appearance of the stray lion seems to have made him very concerned.

Originally, Qiao Qixi wanted to maintain a strict parental facade and not continue to spoil these teenagers, as that might lead them astray. However, after holding the facade for a full two minutes, he couldn’t help but feel the pangs of conscience.

The neglected Miantuan looked pitiful; he had just been accidentally fell and took a tumble. Shouldn’t I comfort him a bit?

Qiao Qixi stopped in place to wait for Miantuan to come over, then turned his head and nudged him a bit.

“Aow…”, Miantuan responded.

Qiao Qixi noticed that as the other party strode over, the scene, no matter how you look at it, was filled with a big shot demeanor. As expected, the white lion who could survive was truly a powerhouse.

Thinking that Miantuan would grow up overnight due to today’s opportunity, Qiao Qixi felt a bit emotional. But clearly, he was overthinking it. After all, Miantuan only acted cool for a little while, then jumped up to nuzzle his face once and, feeling victorious, strutted ahead like a catwalk.

ok, Qiao Qixi announced that this group of cubs has officially entered their adolescence.

Jeremy, who was left near the wildebeest herd waiting for a hunting opportunity, originally planned to attract future allies by demonstrating his strength. Unfortunately, after he hunted a wildebeest, the ally he had set his sights on had already escaped like the young shoots*.

Jeremy: …..

T/N: *idiom meaning swift and graceful escape/fled.

Absolutely a second-generation star with innate talent, he stared blankly at his prey he can’t finish eating, licking the blood off his lips, seemingly confused about where things went wrong.

According to human logic, despite having favorable conditions, he even didn’t mind that the other person came with family, yet the other person actually looked down on him.

This simple lion certainly didn’t have such thoughts of a seasoned matchmaker; it was just that his story of encountering Alexander became known to humans, and someone projected themselves into his role and spoke up.

Because Alexander took the little lions’ feelings into account, he lost such an excellent ally in Jeremy, which indeed makes people feel quite regretful.

If the little lions were willing to accept Jeremy’s approach, it would be as if they were being raised by two immensely potential male lions, thus their chances of survival would definitely double.

But unfortunately, the little lions seemed only able to accept Alexander’s care, showing complete resistance to Jeremy’s approach, especially the white lion and the more solitary little lion; their two brothers’ personalities stood out the most.

It can be foreseen that they will become the main force in output when they grow up.

If Qiao Qixi were to say, among these little ancestors, Lao Er- Chengfeng has the best overall qualities, while the others are all specialized, to the point of being like they were in Java*.

T/N: *refers to Java, an island in Indonesia. This idiom suggests that they are so specialized that it feels as if they are far removed from a well-rounded approach, on a different level/area/place from Chengfeng.

After shaking off Jeremy, the group of missed wildebeests kept appearing in each lion’s mind. Therefore, Qiao Qixi decided to first have a hearty meal and then find a place to rest.

Living near the water source for the first time, Qiao Qixi discovered that eating here was a true race against time; often, before they could finish eating, shameless robbers would already arrive.

Moreover, this group of robbers would come in various forms; sometimes it was a pack of hyenas, other times a pack of wild dogs. They often encountered lions as well, all of whom were not ones to be trifled with.
