“But what if we lose her? If we fail the mission, we’ll be in even bigger trouble,” Xu An furrowed her brows, a storm of worries clouding her face.

Xu Ping shot her an exasperated glance. “All you ever think about is the mission. Haven’t you considered that we could die if we follow? Forget it, there’s no talking sense into you. If you want to tail her, go ahead. I’m going back. ”

Without waiting for her response, Xu Ping turned and left, leaving Xu An in a quandary. She watched his retreating figure, then glanced toward Xia Xin, who was distancing herself farther and farther away. Gritting her teeth, Xu An made her choice and tried to keep up with Xia Xin.

But could Xu An with two legs ever catch up to a lion’s four? Ultimately, Xu An could only watch in despair as Xia Xin and the lions vanished into the distance.

“Damn it,” Xu An muttered under her breath.

Left with no other options, Xu An continued forward; flames had already consumed the path behind her. As for Xu Ping, she had no idea if he’d made it out safely.

As the fire loomed ever closer, Xu An quickened her pace. But the pride of lions receded further into the distance, leaving her sprinting aimlessly, driven solely by the urge to put as much distance between herself and the encroaching inferno as possible.

Meanwhile, Xia Xin rode the lion to a sanctuary, where a firebreak ensured temporary safety.

“Human, this is a sanctuary set up by your kind. The smaller animals will be safe here, and so will you,” the lion communicated.

Puzzled, Xia Xin asked, “Are you leaving?”

“Of course. I am the King of the Forest. If this forest is destroyed, I must find a new home. Will you come?”

“No, thank you,” Xia Xin replied, stroking the lion’s mane with affection.

Just then, Xia Xin heard a shout. “Xia Xin!”

Turning around, Xia Xin saw Jing MO approaching and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Until we meet again, Xia Xin,” the lion said before leading its pride away.

As Jing MO reached Xia Xin, he saw Xia Xin was caressing the lion’s mane and was taken aback. Although he was aware that Xia Xin could communicate with animals, he thought he should be careful because the lion was the King of the Forest. The lions were already gone when he reached Xia Xin’s side.

Xia Xin was about to say something but she noticed that Jing MO was being followed by a cameraman. Sensing her puzzled gaze, he quickly explained the circumstances.

Understanding, Xia Xin nodded. They were, after all, live on camera, so she selectively shared bits of information with him. However, Jing MO was no fool; he pieced together the entire sequence of events.

Thinking about Xu Ping and Xu An, a sense of infuriating helplessness engulfed Jing Mo. After taking a deep breath, he mustered a weak smile. “I’m glad you’re okay.”

The smile seemed forced, but Xia Xin didn’t give it much thought, attributing Jing Mo’s discomfort to being on camera. At that moment, the online comments exploded.

[Oh wow, Xia Xin is so cool!]

[Yeah, yeah, she touched the lion’s mane!]

[This is better than touching a tiger’s butt. Who dares to touch it?]

[Isn’t that so? Not only did Xia Xin touch the lion’s mane, but she also communicated with the lion. The lion just left obediently and didn’t bite!]

[That’s amazing. The lions in the zoo look very fierce and hot-blooded. Why are wild lions as obedient as kittens and puppies under Xia Xin?]

[Do you guys think Xia Xin is the reincarnation of a goddess?]

[Am I the only one who noticed it? There was a scene of Xia Xin riding a lion just now.]

As soon as that comment appeared, it was as if the screen had been cleared. But soon, the comments appeared again, flooding the screen.

[Are you saying that Xia Xin is riding a lion? Are you sure?]

[I watched the replay just now and paused it for a moment. It’s indeed true!]

[Oh wow, is Xia Xin that amazing?]

[Isn’t this like those Beast Masters from a novel?]

[No, Xia Xin is a goddess, the daughter of the Goddess of Luck!]

The comments were unrelenting. But Xia Xin remained blissfully unaware that she had once again become a hot topic on social mediathis time as a ‘Beast Tamer…’
