HPDBC Chapter 413 Little Lion
Chapter 413 Little Lion
"Yes, it's indeed the Wealthy Team. I double-checked." Chen Tuo found it peculiar as well.
The original Leopard team was fine, matching with the preceding Dragon, Tiger, Lion, and Wolf. What could suddenly bring about this emergence of the Wealthy Team?
Ye Lingfeng, however, wasn't concerned about the group's name. He asked, "Do you know who their leader is?"
"I didn't find out. They're being secretive, saying we'll know tonight."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng found it even more peculiar, feeling that something was amiss.
Just as he was pondering, Zhouzhou spotted him and called out, "Daddy!"
Instantly dismissing his previous thoughts, Ye Lingfeng immediately focused all his attention on his little daughter. He strode over and bent down to lift Zhouzhou from the lion's back.
Zhouzhou was still a bit excited, pointing at the lion on the ground and saying, "Daddy, look, a big kitty!"
Indeed, she mistook it for a cat, scratching its chin just like she did with Jinbao earlier.
"Zhouzhou, this is a lion, named the Emperor," Ye Lingfeng introduced with a smile.
"A lion?" Zhouzhou's eyes widened suddenly, round and innocent. She looked down at the lion, puzzled, then noticed its name and scratched her head. "Why not call it Goldie? Goldie sounds much nicer."
What's wrong with these people, none of them can name things properly. Like her Wangcai, Jinbao, Dafu—how nice those names are.
Thinking this, Zhouzhou proudly shook her little head and said seriously, "Daddy, I think Goldie sounds better."
Ye Lingfeng smiled, ruffling her chubby little head. "That won't work, sweetheart. This is the beloved pet of the Lion team's leader, named in comparison to King. If we were to change its name, it would have to lean towards the direction of the Jade Emperor."
When the Emperor and King met for the first time, they immediately started fighting. Both were jungle beasts, each wanting to be the leader.
If they were to compare, and it's called King, then it has to be the Emperor. It cannot be inferior to it in any aspect.
Hearing the name Jade Emperor, Zhouzhou frowned and shook her head. "Forget it, forget it, let's stick with the Emperor."
That name is too grand, too imposing.
Not good, not good.
Amused by her little expression, Ye Lingfeng looked at the Emperor on the ground.
From the moment he arrived, the Emperor spat out all the grass in its mouth, scratched the ground, threw the grass into the bushes, and covered its tracks as if nothing had happened.
Now, it was pretending like nothing had occurred, lifting its chin, maintaining its pride.
But the grass juice at the corner of its mouth had already betrayed what had just happened.
Ye Lingfeng pinched Zhouzhou's chubby little cheek and asked, "Do you want a little lion?"
Zhouzhou wasn't afraid of him at all, looking at him and saying, "Uncle is a good person!"
She could read faces, you know! And he had a lot of virtuous energy!
Jinbao also happily ran over to Ma Hao, sniffing deeply before suddenly recoiling. Why did this virtuous energy have a strange smell to it?
It quickly ran back to Ye Lingfeng's side, rubbing against his leg, feeling much better.
The sun was still shining brightly. Except for Zhouzhou, no one understood what Jinbao was doing. Anyway, this little black ball wanted to stick to everyone, and they were used to it.
Ma Hao didn't pay it any mind and looked at Ye Lingfeng, asking, "Do you need something from me?"
"Take a look at the Emperor's cub."
At this, Ma Hao glanced at him suspiciously. "Just take a look?"
Why did he feel like Ye Lingfeng's intentions weren't so simple?
"Just take a look," Ye Lingfeng said calmly.
If he liked what he saw, he'd take it away.
Understanding his meaning, Ma Hao looked at Zhouzhou in his arms. Seeing the little girl's bright eyes, he understood and couldn't help but curse Ye Lingfeng under his breath, this bandit.
He lowered his head to look at Zhouzhou and suddenly smiled again. "Alright, let's go. I'll take you to see them."
Hearing this, Zhouzhou cheered and clapped her chubby hands. "Uncle, you're really nice!"
Her sweet little voice melted everyone's hearts, and Ma Hao smiled even more happily.
But Ye Lingfeng felt a little jealous. What's the big deal?
Leading them to the backyard, Ma Hao pointed to a spot. "They're all here."
There were four lions in total, one lioness, the Emperor's wife, and three lion cubs, currently nursing from their mother.
Zhouzhou immediately stretched her neck to look. To make it easier, Ma Hao put her down.
The Emperor walked over to the cubs and growled softly, seemingly talking to his wife. The lioness looked up at Zhouzhou, let out a roar, showing no hostility.
The lion cubs were also being watched by the Emperor to prevent them from biting Zhouzhou, as they were still too young to understand.
But Zhouzhou wasn't afraid at all, running over to them and looking at the lion cubs. They were all golden, just like little pieces of gold, and Zhouzhou immediately liked them.
The lion cubs glanced at her, full of curiosity. They stopped nursing and ran to Zhouzhou to play with her, seeming to really like her.
However, Zhouzhou's gaze was fixed on one of the lion cubs still snuggled up to its mother. Suddenly, she exclaimed, her little brow furrowing, and she reached out with her chubby paw.
Ma Hao had just turned his head to say something to Ye Lingfeng when he turned back and saw this scene, his face suddenly changing color. "Zhouzhou, don't touch!"
