"It's okay, I can't eat it myself; it has nothing to do with you; I just won't eat it anymore; don't worry, I'm not mad at you," Si Lu said with a smile, lifting her head and patting the other person's head.
To be honest, this is the first time she's patted the head of Song Zhan in his human form. It really does feel nice without his beast form.
"I promise I won't eat it again, and I won't let you see this sour fruit anymore," Song Zhan nodded seriously.
"Hmph," Cheng Mo let out a cold snort when he looked at the big tiger.
"Alright, I'm fine now; don't be angry, Amu. You see, I had to try it once to know whether I could eat it. Besides, A Zhan meant well; he just ended up making things worse. It's alright, I'm hungry now; I want to eat grilled fish," Si Lu said.
"Okay, I'll pick the fish bones for you right now." Cheng Mo immediately began picking fish bones for Si Lu when he heard her was hungry, having no time to argue with the silly big tiger.
"I'll make you fish soup," Song Zhan also immediately said.
"Mm-hmm, okay!" Si Lu nodded.
She watched as Amu carefully picked the fish bones, and on the side, A Zhan was making fish soup for her. She really liked this life. Well, it's clear she's becoming hopeless!
Okay, she's really starting to feel more at ease with their care.
If that makes her useless, then so be it.
Of course, she also understood why the females here found it hard to survive on their own—this behavior was all because they were spoiled by the male beasts.
When someone takes such good care of you, who would want to do things themselves?
After eating and drinking enough, Si Lu leaned against the big tiger, basking in the sun. Cheng Mo had something to take care of.
She leaned against Song Zhan's beast form, the warm sunlight making it easy to relax. The big tiger quietly let her rest against him, squinting his eyes and enjoying the peaceful afternoon.
He liked being needed by the little female. Even though she was just leaning against him, he felt incredibly happy.
Si Lu occasionally patted the big head, and A Zhan responded with a comfortable, rumbling purr.
Listening to the tiger's purr, Si Lu really enjoyed it. After all, all big cats like being petted, and if it feels good, they'll purr. The sound was quite soothing.
In the past, she had raised a small British Shorthair cat, and now she was leaning against a giant version of the same cat—both were so cute and soft, hard not to like.
Of course, the roe deer was also very beautiful and cute.
She loved all of them.
The big tiger seemed to realize that the little deer liked his beast form. He felt a sense of accomplishment.
Heh, as long as the little female liked him, he was happy.
He loved being close to the little female like this.
At that moment, a lot of loud voices came from the distance.
The tribe became chaotic, with shrill screams from the females and angry roars from the beasts.
The big tiger, who was being leaned on, immediately became alert. He quickly shifted into his human form and picked up the little deer.
Si Lu heard the noises and looked nervously at the distant sounds.
"What's going on?" Si Lu asked nervously.
"Stray beasts have entered," Song Zhan said, looking around with a vigilant expression, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Damn it! How could stray beasts suddenly appear?
There have been stray beasts attacking the tribe before, but this doesn't seem like the right time for an attack! What's going on?
The big tiger radiated a killing aura. "What should we do? Do you need to help?"
Si Lu, now in his arms, nervously asked.
She could already vaguely hear many beasts crying and asking for help. This was the first time she'd experienced something like this, and her face had become pale and tense.
"No need; I just need to protect you. I don't care about the other beasts!" Song Zhan said solemnly.
That's right!
When stray beasts attack a tribe, it's usually either for food or for females.
So he didn't care about the other beasts. He only cared about his partner!
Moreover, since Cheng Mo wasn't here, he was the only one who could protect the little female. If he left, who would protect her? That absolutely couldn't happen!
As Si Lu's partner, his mission was to protect her.
Even if it meant giving his life!
"Mm-hmm, what are the stray beasts attacking the tribe for?" Si Lu nervously looked at the distance. The tribe had even started burning, and she didn't know what was happening to the beasts there.
Luckily, Cheng Mo didn't like crowds, and his cave was located at the farthest side of the tribe, quite far from the center.
"Food, females. The stray beasts will stop at nothing for those. They've harmed many females. If a female is taken by them, it's better to die than endure it. Many females can't bear it and die miserably in the end," Song Zhan's eyes burned with rage.
"Stray beasts are the most hated existence in every tribe," the big tiger said, grinding his teeth.
Damn it!
If it weren't for the stray beast attack, he could be relaxing with the little female, enjoying the sun. But now, this situation really made him furious.
Of course, he was also worried and scared!
Now that he had his beloved female, he was starting to feel scared.
He was afraid something would happen to her. He was afraid she hadn't eaten enough or that she was cold.
"Mm-hmm, they're so bad. A Zhan, don't worry, nothing will happen!" Si Lu tried to comfort him, noticing how fast his heartbeat was and how tight his chest had become.
"Mm-hmm, don't be afraid. I will protect you, little deer." Song Zhan's gaze was intense as he looked at Si Lu.
His little female was really wonderful!
At this moment, she didn't show much fear. Instead, she was comforting him. How could he not love her?
The next moment, for some reason, the big tiger, Song Zhan, directly grabbed the little female and moved behind a mountain cave, his gaze filled with murderous intent as he stared ahead.
"Roar~" He set the little female down and positioned her behind him. Then he shifted into his beast form and roared angrily at the other side.
The deafening tiger's roar echoed far away, sending small rocks flying around.
"Well, well, didn't expect a little surprise here," a figure emerged from behind a large tree, its gaze fixed on Si Lu behind the big tiger, an expression of surprise and obsession in its eyes.
To think there's such a beautiful female here!
What a huge windfall!
