Chapter 54 The Little Female Disappeared?
Deep within the Bamboo Peak stood two beautiful figures and a majestic male lion.
Su Miantang picked up a bamboo pole to act as a flag. “I hereby announce, the first competition event is—Hide and Seek! Contestants: Big Golden Retriever and me. Game mode: I will hide somewhere in the Bamboo Peak shortly, and Big Golden Retriever will start looking. If he can’t find me within ten minutes, it’s considered a failure. The referee is Rong Rong!”
Hua Rong started the timer and nodded. Okay.
Su Miantang rubbed her hands together somewhat nervously. The male lion, however, slowly lay down and used his tail to sweep at the hem of her skirt playfully, as if this game was incredibly simple and boring to him.
No matter where she hid, he would find her in the first instant.
Because he possessed the sharpest eyes in this world.
It was a pity the little female knew nothing about the power of his Chongtong and chose the event he was best at. It really wasn’t smart enough.
Heh~
Su Miantang saw through his thoughts.
So arrogant?
Careful not to get slapped in the face later.
Tang Tang, are you ready?
“Mhm!”
As Hua Rong’s gesture to ‘start’ fell, Su Miantang took off running down the mountain.
The male lion’s gaze followed her the entire time, only feeling that the little female was so beautiful and cute. Her figure from behind was graceful, soft, and delicate, inexplicably triggering the hunting instinct etched into his bones.
He wanted to rush up, pin her beneath him with one paw, and then, and then…
The little female ducked into a cluster of bushes, inadvertently exposing a section of her skirt.
That’s it?
He chuckled, stood up, and prepared to rush over to carry her back in his mouth.
After ducking into the bushes, Su Miantang pulled out a bottle of potion from her body—the Void Essence that Medina had given her back on Lanhuan Island.
Just one drop could render someone invisible for half an hour.
Big Golden Retriever absolutely did not know that the fundamental difference between humans and beasts was: humans knew how to use tools!
The male lion was rushing over enthusiastically when, halfway there, he suddenly discovered… the little female disappeared? She vanished out of thin air right inside the bushes?!
He suspected his eyes were playing tricks on him. He blinked, but he still couldn’t see her.
In an instant, feeling both shocked and panicked, he pounced over and dug the bushes inside out. Failing to find her, he urgently activated his Chongtong. The four blazing pupils simultaneously burst forth with incredibly sharp light, scanning the surroundings, but still didn’t find her figure.
Where did his little female go?
He began to worry, spinning around in circles anxiously in place. He even roared at the sky a few times, as if summoning her, or perhaps warning whoever was hiding in the dark, trying to harm her.
Hahahaha~
Su Miantang stood right beside him, holding back her laughter so hard her stomach hurt.
Wasn’t he very proud? Didn’t he boast about his innate Chongtong power and finding anything? How come he couldn’t find her?
She reached out her hands and suddenly pinched his two round ears.
Who? Who is it!
The male lion shivered all over and looked around vigilantly, but he couldn’t see anything.
He clearly felt someone touching his ears. In the whole world, how could there be anything capable of hiding from his Chongtong?
She rubbed his head again, just like petting a puppy.
“?!”
The Lion King’s dignity was violated. Just as he bared his teeth to get angry, he caught a whiff of the familiar peony fragrance. It was the scent on the little female!
Su Miantang circled behind him and tugged at his tail.
“Mmm…”
Unexpectedly, the male lion suddenly let out a low groan. His massive, muscular body trembled slightly, and he went completely limp, dropping flat onto the ground.
Seeing this, Su Miantang remembered Lu Sili in the laboratory from before and hurriedly pulled her hand back. “…” She almost forgot, an animal’s tail couldn’t be touched either.
Who exactly was it? Could it be…
“Ahem~” The young girl squatted beside him and coughed lightly. “Big Golden Retriever, aren’t you very formidable? Didn’t you take hide-and-seek completely lightly? Why couldn’t you find me?”
It really was the little female!
She hadn’t encountered any danger. She was right beside him, playing with his ears, his head, and his tail…
But, why couldn’t he see her?
The male lion’s eyes were full of confusion.
“Because I turned invisible~” Su Miantang curled her lips and wantonly ravished his fluffy mane. It was golden and incredibly thick, feeling absolutely amazing to the touch.
Invisible?
She could actually turn invisible?
Too amazing…
“How about it, do you admit defeat?” She cupped his head in her hands.
Although he couldn’t see her, the male lion could feel her warm breath so close, lightly spraying against the side of his face and the shell of his ear. He couldn’t help but gulp.
He admitted defeat.
Seeing him nod, Su Miantang happily pulled her hands back, wiped off the Void Essence, and revealed her human form.
However, upon seeing this, the male lion became unhappy.
Why did she stop petting him when she wasn’t invisible anymore?
He liked her petting him, it felt very comfortable…
The ten-minute time limit arrived. Hua Rong ran down from the hillside, only to see the massive body of the male lion lying flat on his back, all four limbs facing the sky, as if he was acting spoiled toward Tang Tang, or passionately inviting her to rub his belly.
The belly is the most private and vulnerable part of a feline. They will only expose it to people they deeply trust or like. For an Imperial Brother who had suffered so much harm and possessed such a cold temperament that he refused to trust anyone, to actually expose his belly to Tang Tang…
It seemed his guess was correct.
Imperial Brother had really fallen in love with Tang Tang…
A trace of red rarely flashed across the depths of his clear eyes, and an inexplicably cruel thought of telling Imperial Brother that Tang Tang only treated him as a beast actually surfaced in his mind.
The male lion’s rolling about and passionate invitation was interpreted by Su Miantang as him being a sore loser and acting shamelessly. She directly used the bamboo pole to lightly tap his paws.
“Get up, Big Golden Retriever, no acting shamelessly!”
“You lost the first round of the competition. We’re about to start the second round immediately, which is also your strong suit—running!”
Running?
With the little female’s slow speed, how could she compete with him?
He could leave her in the dust without a trace in a flash!
The male lion instantly stood up with renewed vigor, lowering his head and looking at her with some expectation in his azure blue eyes.
If he won, could she rub his belly?
He felt that having his belly rubbed would definitely be even more amazing than having his tail touched.
Su Miantang looked at the expectation in his eyes, baffled. “You… want to get a reward from me when you win?”
Mhm! Mhm!
He immediately nodded.
“Sure~” Su Miantang said without thinking twice. “But before we start the competition, you have to crouch down first.”
Why?
The male lion didn’t quite understand, but he still did as he was told.
The next second, Su Miantang leaped up and mounted his back.
He instantly saw through her intentions.
She wanted to rely on his speed to win this competition!
He should have thrown her off, but her body was too soft, and he absolutely couldn’t bear to part with the feeling. Especially when they ran up the mountain, she leaned forward and hugged his neck tightly, feeling like a pair of lively little rabbits bouncing up and down on his back.
