AUFGBTSCHBHABFR CH 09

Shen Yue feels relieved that the cub’s father is a Golden Lion. Regardless of his identity, she’s glad she gave birth to a rare and handsome Golden Lion instead of a strange-looking beast.Holding Da Bao, she wonders if the remaining six eggs will also hatch into Golden Lions. She secretly hopes at least one will be a little girl rather than all boys.The newborn cub is extremely attached to her. He snuggles into her arms and sleepily says he wants to sleep in his mother’s embrace.Shen Yue gently strokes his head and tells him to sleep while she holds him.Since he has just hatched, she assumes he is exhausted. She softly asks if she can name him Jin Yao (Yao Yao), and the cub happily agrees despite being half asleep.Soon he falls asleep in her arms, breathing peacefully and occasionally twitching his little ears. Shen Yue can’t stop admiring him and is completely smitten, realizing why mothers adore their own children so much.Their peaceful moment is interrupted when Xiong Jiaojiao arrives outside, shouting for Shen Yue to come out and threatening to smash her cave entrance.Shen Yue carefully lays the sleeping cub on a soft grass bed before going outside.Xiong Jiaojiao mocks Shen Yue, notices her flat stomach, and cruelly asks whether her newborn has already died.Shen Yue immediately insults her back, surprising everyone because she never used to stand up for herself.One of Xiong Jiaojiao’s beast husbands warns her that Shen Yue now has a powerful new beast husband, but Xiong Jiaojiao ignores him and insults both Shen Yue and her own husband.She demands that Shen Yue call out her new beast husband, accusing him of injuring her fifth husband earlier that day.Shen Yue calmly replies that Xiong Jiaojiao’s husband deserved it for trying to steal food from someone else’s cave, reminding her that the Beast God’s laws forbid such behavior.Xiong Jiaojiao becomes furious. Her strongest husband, Xiong Da, steps forward, saying that in the wilderness only strength matters and threatens to destroy Shen Yue’s cave.Shen Yue secretly prepares a poisoned silver needle, determined to kill him if he dares attack, because her sleeping cubs are inside and she will not let anyone hurt them.Xiong Da shoves Shen Yue aside and moves to smash the cave.At that moment, Shen Yue strikes with the silver needle, aiming at a vital point.Before anyone can react, a flash of golden fur rushes out—it is Da Bao.The tiny Golden Lion bites Xiong Da’s leg and bravely shouts that he must not hurt his mother.Xiong Da angrily kicks the little cub away with great force.Shen Yue falls to the ground and cries out in horror as Da Bao is sent flying through the air.
