Ambush by Zi Ji!

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion glared at Vina and the others with ill intent, baring her teeth and revealing a ferocious expression.

Suddenly, she sniffed the air and turned her head to look at Liu Feng.

Upon seeing the new clothes Liu Feng was wearing, she leaned in and sniffed them carefully.

Liu Feng pushed her head away, "It tickles, stop it..."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion licked Liu Feng's chest, then rubbed her face against his clothes for a long while.

Immediately after, she narrowed her eyes and began pacing among the fallen crowd, twitching her nose as if searching for something.

She soon stopped beside Vina, her lips trembling slightly.

"Your Highness..."

Mu Xue looked shocked and furious, about to strike, but was pinned in place by the pressure radiating from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Vina held her breath, her face turning pale.

Her brilliant mind could sense the killing intent the Three-Eyed Golden Lion held toward her!

Why?

Out of everyone present, why did she have to single her out?

"Great Beast, I am of the Heaven Dou Empire..."

Vina had just begun to explain.

"ROAR...!!!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion wouldn't listen to her nonsense, opening her jaws to bite down.

"Don't!!!"

Liu Feng shouted in a hurry.

Silence...

Almost everyone was frozen in terror.

Vina's head was currently inside the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's massive maw!

If the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had been even a fraction faster, her head would have been bitten clean through!

Vina was so frightened her face turned white; she could even feel the sharp teeth of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion pressing right against her skull!

In that moment, her entire body went rigid.

Mu Xue and the other soul masters focused their gazes, their hearts leaping into their throats.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion kept her jaws wide open; because she hadn't expanded her size, she had to stretch her mouth to its limit just to fit Vina's head inside.

Having been stopped by Liu Feng, her jaw was practically on the verge of dislocation!

"Golden Lion, why do you always love biting heads?"

Liu Feng said helplessly, grabbing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's large tail from behind and dragging her back.

"Vina didn't hurt me; she even treated me to a meal, gave me these clothes, and let me pack a portion for you. She counts as my friend..."

After Liu Feng finished speaking, he assumed he could dispel the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's killing intent.

Although Vina's kindness wasn't entirely pure, there was no malice in it overall.

"..."

The next instant, an even more terrifying killing intent erupted from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The surrounding temperature seemed to drop significantly.

The golden divine fire on her body flared even more violently, covering half of her frame.

Her vertical pupils stared fixedly at Vina, her teeth grinding together with a creaking sound.

"Liu Feng can only have me as a friend!"

"How dare you..."

As soon as Liu Feng heard the tone of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, he realized something was wrong.

The Scorpion Tiger nearby was so terrified it curled up on the ground, almost turning into a ball!

Furthermore, the aura radiating from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was violent, resentful, and furious!

He hurriedly ran in front of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and hugged her head.

He used his own body to block the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's mouth.

Otherwise, everyone present besides him would likely die!

"Golden Lion, what's wrong with you?"

"Friends aren't meant to be exclusive, but you will always be my best friend!"

"It's not just Vina; I consider the Scorpion Tiger and the others to be my friends as well."

Liu Feng explained gently, trying to soothe the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"???"

The Scorpion Tiger heard that it was involved as well, and its fur stood on end in fright, making it look truly like a ball of fluff this time.

"Roar..."

It let out a weak roar, indicating that it considered Liu Feng its master, and definitely not some friend!

"Friends... can you have many of them?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked, feeling depressed.

"That's right, as long as you are friendly to each other, you can be friends."

Liu Feng gently stroked the head of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, gradually soothing her emotions.

The surrounding temperature also began to rise.

The people on the ground felt life slowly returning to them.

Vina bit her lower lip, struggling to hold back her tears.

Watching Liu Feng's back, her eyes flickered with strange emotions.

"Then... then what is the only one? I don't want to be Liu Feng's friend anymore! I don't want to be the same as them!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion began to act petulant, shaking her head.

She broke free from Liu Feng's embrace and stared straight at him.

Liu Feng scratched his head. A unique relationship?

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion tilted her head, her gaze earnest.

Just the thought of Liu Feng being someone else's friend made her unhappy!

"But you are my best friend in the world, the best of all friend relationships. Isn't that enough?"

Liu Feng was also in a bind; how was he supposed to appease the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion thought for a moment. "The best friend?"

"Yes, we are the best in the world."

Liu Feng nodded in confirmation.

The corners of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's mouth immediately curled upward; she liked the title "best in the world"!

She looked down at Vina on the ground and said coldly:

"Liu Feng and I are the best in the world!"

Under these circumstances, Vina managed to maintain a smile and nodded.

"I heard you. Young Master Liu Feng's 'best in the world'—I truly envy your relationship. Young Master Liu Feng even specifically asked for food for you; your bond is truly wonderful."

Vina was quick-witted and used her form of address to distance her relationship with Liu Feng.

Upon hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly felt that this woman wasn't particularly hateful after all.

Although she had given Liu Feng clothes that were tainted with a "stinky smell," at least she was very sensible!

Vina continued, "Actually, I am a princess of the Heaven Dou Empire. I think Young Master Liu Feng's tribe, um, friends, might need the tools of human civilization."

"I would like to be on good terms with you and gift you some daily necessities."

"Things like meditation techniques—Young Master Liu Feng should really need those. And Young Master Liu Feng should also yearn for some human knowledge and social interaction, right?"

Vina explained, doing her best to project goodwill.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion didn't quite understand and looked at Vina with a blank expression.

But deep down, she felt that what Vina said made sense.

Although Liu Feng was an Elf, his intelligence and habits leaned more toward humans.

And...

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion raised her paw, looking at her chubby, fleshy pad. It seemed she could never make beautiful clothes for Liu Feng.

Looking at Vina again, with her pretty face, she looked very similar to Liu Feng, only their ears were different.

She suddenly felt a bit listless and unhappy.

At this moment, a sexy voice suddenly rang out.

"Oh my, little Liu Feng, why are you getting mixed up with humans?"

The next instant, a tall, curvaceous woman in a purple dress descended.

She brought a gust of fragrant wind and appeared beside Liu Feng.

Zi Ji!

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately tensed up and bared her teeth at Zi Ji.

In her heart, Zi Ji was the second most hateful person, second only to the Streamer Peacock!

Zi Ji patted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head. "Don't worry, I'm here for these humans. Hand over all your money, as well as your jewelry and Soul Tools!"

"Not a single one can be left behind, or I'll slaughter the lot of you!"

Zi Ji had actually gone to rob Vina and her group!

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion relaxed slightly, sitting to the side while still feeling depressed about her own appearance.

Why was she different from Liu Feng?

Why couldn't she get her scent onto Liu Feng's clothes?

At this moment, Zi Ji finished looting the wealth.

"With this money, I can buy more shiny things again!"

Zi Ji stretched lazily, glanced at the sulking Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

In the next instant, she suddenly transformed into an afterimage, swept Liu Feng up into the air, and darted toward the distance at high speed.

"Giggle... I tricked you, Auspicious Beast, big sister is taking little Liu Feng out to play!"

"???"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion froze for a moment, then flew into a rage!

"ROAR...!!!"
