章 59: Chapter 55, Golden Lion? Xiu Yan?_1

"Roar~" Suddenly, a lion's roar resounded from behind, shaking the woods. A golden shadow swooped over Ji Nuan's head, leaving behind a trail of fresh blood.

Ji Nuan only felt a loosening around her neck before her body started to fall. The golden figure leaped up to catch her, running a distance backward before carefully placing her, nearly unconscious, on the ground.

Ji Nuan tried hard to open her eyes wide, mustering the last bit of her strength: "Brother Ge Tai, be careful, the cub..."

Before she could finish speaking, she passed out.

Just as the golden lion was preparing to rush out, its back legs faltered when it heard the murmurs of the little female cub behind it.

It looked back at Ji Nuan with a touch of reproach in its eyes. The glaring contempt in its dark pupils would have been all too familiar to her had she seen it.

"Roar~ Oh~" The lion growled lowly in a complaining tone and flicked its tail.
