Today was the first time Fang Ye and the lion had contact without the barrier of fences and metal nets.
For an animal like the lion, its intelligence might be limited, but it clearly understands the effect of fences or glass!
Seeing Fang Ye standing not far away, the lion actually became a bit nervous and, opening its mouth wide, was about to roar.
Even though he had been feeding the lions almost every day, becoming familiar with them, and his Heart of Nature had increased their fondness for him, they no longer bore any hostility towards him.
But if it were in an online game, the affection level was roughly only between indifferent and friendly, still a bit away from truly affable.
An ordinary animal keeper would need at least a few months to cultivate a friendly relationship.
Unless the keeper had raised the lion from a cub, it might take several years of interaction and care for their relationship to become intimate.
