Chapter 94 The Lion Cub's First Independent Hunt

Since their last joint attack on the protected area with the rebels failed, the beast army was almost completely wiped out.

After losing his stronghold, which he had cultivated for many years, and exposing all his carefully trained spies, Valken disappeared completely from public view. It is likely that only members of the rebel army can contact him.

"An investigation revealed that he fled to another planet, merged with the rebels' local branch, and is now being marginalized."

It's already lucky that Valken wasn't expelled from the rebel army or killed for committing such a grave mistake.

"Try to contact him and find out his recent movements."

Based on Elius's understanding of Valken, he certainly wouldn't surrender and accept his fate. The reason why the rebel high command let him go is most likely related to Liang He.

"Yes!"

Liang He, who has gradually attracted the attention of various forces, is currently leading the platinum giant lion to the forest restaurant alone.

"You mean, let Cyril hunt by himself?"

The open-air forest restaurant is very large, and there are many chickens, ducks, cows and sheep roaming around inside, completely unaware that they have already become prey for wild animals.

"Yes, that's Green Star's rule. Unless an animal needs rescue, we won't deprive it of its natural instincts and let it develop a habit of taking things for granted."

Animals will eventually be released back into nature. If they are carefully raised by humans, they will likely face death when they return to nature.

Admittedly, the staff made a lot of sense. Liang He could only shrug at the platinum lion, pat its head, and stroke its fur to prepare it for the hunt.

"Cyril, what we get to eat today depends on how good you are!"

To encourage the Platinum Lion, Liang He decided to share both good times and bad with him.

If the platinum lion can successfully bring back its prey, that's fine. But if it returns empty-handed, Liang He will have to go hungry as well.

"Ouch!"

Encouraged and full of confidence, the platinum lion entered the hunting ground with its head held high. Mo Jin Wang Hu and the others had taken it hunting before, and it had found it quite easy. Today, it was time to show off its skills to the two-legged beasts!
However, making promises you can't keep can easily backfire.

Previously, the Platinum Lion was always carried by the big shots, following behind and picking up ready-made prey, at most symbolically helping with a claw attack. It had no experience in hunting independently.

"Your lion seems...not very good at hunting?"

The staff almost burst out laughing as they watched the giant platinum lion brazenly charge into the flock of chickens and ducks, squawking and killing them indiscriminately, sending them flying everywhere. In the end, all that remained was a comical sight with a mouthful of feathers.

With a gut feeling that dinner was in danger, Liang He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, but he didn't rush to command the platinum giant lion. He wanted to let the lion try again on its own.

"Who raised this lion? It can't even hunt properly?"

"As a ferocious beast, it can't even handle the most common chickens and ducks. It's been completely spoiled!"

"Tsk tsk, what a waste. If I had raised this lion, it definitely wouldn't be like this now."

Perhaps attracted by the platinum lion, a number of people gathered around, and they all seemed to be related to the zookeeper.

The staff member glanced cautiously at Liang He's expression, afraid that she might be unhappy or take it out on the platinum lion.

“I think this lion is very well cared for. Look at its mane, it must be meticulously groomed every day.”

As they were talking, another person approached the fence surrounding the hunting grounds and looked at the platinum lion still struggling inside.

Despite repeated defeats, the platinum lion never gave up, even though it was constantly outmaneuvered by tiny chickens and ducks. Instead, it gradually accumulated experience and its hunting skills became more and more professional.

“Look closely, this little guy is probably hunting alone for the first time, but he has already learned from the experience, which shows that his nature has not been suppressed.”

Following his gaze, everyone observed closely and found that it was indeed so. The platinum lion had gone from being in a sorry state and flustered at the beginning to now knowing how to keep a close eye on its prey and strike suddenly.

"Ah! He's caught him!"

As the chicken, whose throat had been torn open by the platinum lion, gradually lost the strength to struggle, everyone applauded and cheered for it.

Seeing this, Liang He smiled with satisfaction. Others might not know, but Liang He knew that the Platinum Lion had been recalling the movements it used when hunting with Mo Jin Wang Hu and the others, gradually applying and mastering them, and only through tireless effort had it managed to capture its prey.

"Ouch!"

The platinum lion, having finally caught its prey, rushed excitedly toward Liang He, oblivious to the other people in the group. They scattered in fright, afraid that if they were a step too slow, they would become the beast's meal, completely forgetting that they had just been mocking him for not knowing how to hunt.

"Cyril, come here."

Startled by the crowd's overreaction, the platinum lion stood there in a daze, thinking it had made a mistake again. It looked pitifully at Liang He, dropping the chicken from its beak to the ground.

It wasn't until Liang He called out to him, her gentle voice soothing the platinum lion's bewildered heart, that he picked up his prey again and obediently ran towards her.

"Cyril, you're awesome!"

"Woooo~"

Hearing Liang He's praise, the platinum lion became extremely proud and quickly released its beak, pushing the chicken toward Liang He, with no intention of keeping any of it.

Despite having worked so hard to catch only one chicken, the platinum lion fed it to the zookeeper without hesitation. This was something that had never been heard of or seen before, and everyone was stunned.

At the same time, they realized that they had been cricketing in front of the platinum lion's keeper for quite some time, leading to a moment of silence and awkwardness.

"Excuse me, hello, do you own this platinum lion?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, the person who had spoken up for the platinum lion took the initiative to greet Liang He.

Liang He looked up at him and nodded slightly.

"Ah."

It was probably because everyone's attention was drawn to Liang He that they realized she looked somewhat familiar.

"His name is Cyril?"

That's what he shouted when he heard Liang He praising the Platinum Lion.

"Yes, Cyril was raised in the Empire, so he doesn't have much hunting experience."

Liang He was explaining for the platinum lion; she didn't want her fluffy pet to be misunderstood or wronged.

However, her answer silenced everyone present even more.

Cyriel, the Empire.

If I'm not mistaken, could this giant platinum lion they're swatting be none other than the empire's most precious crown prince?!
"You...you're the furry zookeeper?!"

Finally, someone made the connection to Liang He. No wonder she looked so familiar; it turns out they had seen her on the StarNet before!

Liang He tilted her head, somewhat puzzled by their inexplicable excitement.

"Yes, I am Liang He."

With Liang He's admission, everyone was both excited and embarrassed. They cautiously glanced at the platinum lion, hoping that the Crown Prince hadn't heard what they had just said.

Besides, a small number of zookeepers who knew about the existence of evolved beastmen looked at Liang He with envy and admiration.

"So you are Ms. Liang He? I'm so sorry, we'll arrange dinner for you and Cyril right away. You can wait in the restaurant."

The staff also overheard Liang He and the others' conversation and quickly looked at her apologetically. The person in charge had already told him that Liang He and the platinum giant lion were exceptions and did not need to abide by the rules of hunting on their own.

"Thank you, but I think Cyril would prefer to eat the food he hunts himself."

After politely declining, Liang He whispered something in the ear of the platinum lion, then stood up and waved her hand.

"Cyril, kill it!"

Does anyone else think the arrogant little prince is actually quite cute? He always thinks of Liang He, and his older brothers have taught him very well! Haha
