Xia Xin quickly took off her cap and tossed it aside. Indeed, the lion kept staring in the direction of the cap and continued ramming the cage.

Xia Xin had already communicated with the director of the show, so when he sensed that something was wrong, he promptly halted the filming. They began to pack up the valuable filming equipment, and the lion’s keepers were ready. They would seize the lion promptly if any issue arose.

Despite their caution, the situation unfolded in a way that exceeded their expectations. The lion was far more furious than they had anticipated. It broke the lock on the cage and burst out, even before the keepers could react.

The lion lunged directly at the cap, tearing it to shreds, then shifted its gaze toward Xia Xin, who had been wearing the cap.

Jing MO grabbed Xia Xin’s arm, pulling her behind him, protecting her.

With great solemnity, Jing MO observed the lion that was about to pounce, his fear of carnivorous animals causing him to slow his breathing, trying not to provoke the lion.

Just as the lion was about to charge, Gao Xin suddenly shouted, “Don’t you love eating meat? There’s plenty of meat here for you to enjoy!”

Gao Xin then tossed the fresh raw meat she had won into the air, aiming it at the lion.

The meat successfully deterred the lion’s attack. The keepers seized the opportunity to use their capture tools and managed to subdue the lion. However, the captured lion struggled wildly, emitting furious roars.

Each roar challenged Xia Xin’s endurance, making her feel as if she was back on the vast African savannah. Cold sweat formed on her forehead and her lips turned pale.

Jing MO held onto Xia Xin’s wrist tightly, hoping to provide her with some support.

Watching the struggling lion, it took Xia Xin a while to calm down. She finally gathered the courage to gently free herself from Jing Mo’s grasp and slowly approached the lion.

Xia Xin’s actions weren’t foolish; rather, she had two reasons. First, she couldn’t bear to see the lion in distress, and second, she had confidence in her Beast Language System.

Xia Xin’s three days at home hadn’t been wasted. She had meticulously studied the system’s passive abilities and was convinced she could control the lion, which was why she dared to approach.

Although the lion continued to struggle, its emotions became somewhat stabilized as Xia Xin drew closer.

Xia Xin said, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you.”

The lion’s eyes showed surprise, but they were more wary and fearful. It said, “Human, you can actually talk to me?”

Xia Xin thought to herself that the lion truly lived up to its title as the king of beasts. Even when captured, it maintained its proud posture.

By this point, Xia Xin was close enough to the lion. She crouched down cautiously in front of it and slowly reached out her hand, attempting to touch the lion’s head. Unexpectedly, the lion struggled fiercely, letting out an angry roar towards Xia Xin, which startled her, causing her to sit down on the ground.

“Stay away from me, human!” the lion roared at Xia Xin.

Although the lion had been raised by humans and should’ve been more accustomed to them, Xia Xin’s scent made it wary.

However, at the same time, when Xia Xin approached, the lion strangely felt a sense of calmness that it couldn’t control. It couldn’t help but want to get closer to her and felt a fondness for her.

The lion was conflicted, and there was a hint of anthropomorphized struggle in its eyes.

Seeing Xia Xin fall to the ground, the others wanted to come over and help her, but she stopped them and said, “I’m fine, you don’t need to worry.”

Due to the crowd around them, Xia Xin could only slowly crouch down in front of the lion. She whispered, “Why do you have such hostility towards me?”

The lion disdainfully turned its head away and said, “Hypocritical human, you stole my cub and now you want to deceive me here?”

‘A cub?’ Xia Xin suddenly understood. The cap carried the scent of the lion’s cub, which was why the lion became agitated upon seeing her. Its cub was missing, and it believed Xia Xin had taken its cub.

Xia Xin said, “I know you don’t believe me now, but rest assured, I will help you find your cub. Don’t struggle right now, the capture tools might hurt you. Go back to your cage obediently. I promise to help you find your cub!”

For a lion, especially one that had just lost its cub, trusting a human was a tall order. However, the way this woman spoke made it involuntarily believe her.

Moreover, it felt that this woman could speak the beast language, so it figured things probably wouldn’t go too far astray.. Thus, it obediently stopped struggling, but it still warned Xia Xin, “Human, if you can’t find my cub, I will eat you for sure!”
