Lion King's Adopted Son

Chapter 15

When walking halfway, Jiela suddenly felt the fur on the back of her neck tighten, and then found herself "flying".Its feet were still moving forward, but its body had already left the ground.

"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Jela wiped her eyes vigorously, looking confused and innocent: "Why hasn't the hallucination disappeared?"

At this time, it heard a long-lost voice from above its head: "It's been a few days since we parted, and you don't know how to come over to say hello? You are such a bad boy, Jela!" It seemed to hear the teeth grinding. Voice: "You were taught badly by Claire and the others!"

Jela slowly raised her head, tilting her head to look at the source of the sound.Due to the stimulation of the sun, it blinked, and it took a long time to get used to it. Then, in the backlight, it saw the familiar face again: "Pascal?"

Oh no, how did it see Pascal?You know, every time it has a nightmare, it dreams of Pascal eating it.Now it sees Pascal in the hallucination. Could it be that it will have another nightmare when it goes back tonight?

... Gera should be thankful that Pascal couldn't hear what it was thinking, otherwise he would definitely let it have a good nightmare—a live version of a nightmare.However, just because of its current attitude of being confused and not daring to confirm, Pascal was already very unhappy.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Don't you even know your father? Do you need me to confirm my identity for you?"

As soon as the words fell, Jela felt a wet, barbed tongue licking her body, helping her to comb the fur on her ears and get rid of parasites, and then licking her cheek, getting it all over her face saliva.Gera froze and did not dare to move.Under the extreme tension, it turned back into a little lion with its head hanging down and a sluggish expression!If this change happened a few days ago, it would be very happy, but now, it is really not happy - it is only one step away from Pascal's sharp teeth.

This licking and grooming may be a comfortable bath for the lions, but for Jela, it's a nightmare.On the tip of Pascal's tongue, it was always on tenterhooks, worried that it would be rolled by Pascal's big tongue and swallowed into his mouth.Although it is in the nature of big cats not to like to get their fur wet, Jella went for a wet bath and was unwilling to be cleaned up in this way by other lions.

Gera wasn't even sure if Pascal was simply grooming it or assessing its palatability as food, he licked it so carefully it was almost like tasting it.Although Pascal hadn't had time to teach Gera a lesson, he had unconsciously given Gera the most severe punishment.

"What's your expression?" Pascal looked at Gera's pale face and said dissatisfiedly, "I haven't punished you for denying your father yet! You're wronged first!" Which lion cub isn't here Growing up in beating and training?This one in his family is so delicate, is it really all right?

"When did you come here?" It took a while for Gera to recover from her rigid state.

"Since yesterday I have been looking for the entrance Jem - the panther you brought here - speaks of, and I have not managed to enter the tribe until this morning. Saw the prey lying there Did you? I also participated in the tribe's hunt today...Hey, what's your expression?"

"No, I'm just a little...surprised." Gera silently swallowed the word "horror." Some words, it's better not to let Pascal hear them, because this male lion is too angry to be overwhelmed.

"Surprised? You mean, you didn't expect to see me here at all?"

"You know, your appearance is too sudden for us after all..."

"I thought you knew that I would come to you. Have you never thought about this? You don't believe that I will come to you?" Pascal's expression suddenly became a little dangerous.

Gera curled herself up instinctively, not knowing how to answer so as not to offend Pascal.It doesn't think its grain reserve is so important to Pascal.It prefers to believe that Pascal came here to bring back his subordinate Claire.

"Okay, I can see exactly what you're thinking, the bit of what you're thinking has been honestly written on your face. Even though I have absolutely no idea how you're thinking? Don't you have the same brain circuit as mine huh?" He looked a little manic.

Gera was silent for a moment: "I thought you were here to find Claire."

"Clear? Of course I'm here to find Claire! But I'm also here to find you! What do you think is the relationship between you and me? I'm your adoptive father! I've gone through all kinds of troubles because I'm worried about your safety. You have come here so hard, yet you still question my purpose for coming here, you are so heartless!"

"..." Jela felt that no matter how she answered the words, she would look very strange.Why does it feel that he is the scumbag in a bitter drama, and Pascal is the wife/girlfriend who has been giving silently but has not been rewarded?It shook its head, knocking the thought out of its mind.It's too cold, this must be its illusion.

Having said that, is it that familiar with Pascal?Is the relationship that good?So good that Pascal knew that Jem had set up traps waiting for him ahead, but still chose to catch up, just to make sure they were alive and well?It is very sure that even its father, Ghana, will abandon it without hesitation when his own safety is endangered.What did Pascal have to do with it?They have no blood ties, and it doesn't have obvious use for Pascal like Claire and the others.

After thinking about it, the connection between it and Pascal is only the one time it offended him, right?For this reason, Pascal did not retaliate (bully) retaliate (negative) him when he was in the Pascal Lions Pride.

"You said, you are my adoptive father, and I am your adopted son. But I have always wondered why you chose me as your adopted son at that time?"

Pascal wanted to say impatiently, "I want to adopt you, a homeless brat, so I'll adopt you, so much nonsense", but he met Gera's serious eyes, and when the words reached his mouth, he became "I still remember, when we first met, you dug a trap for me to jump."

Jela: "...you have a really good memory." The point in my heart that was about to emerge just now felt pinched out.This guy actually remembered the festival between them so clearly, he really came to take revenge on it.

"My memory has always been very good, especially when others embarrass me, the memory in my mind will become particularly deep."

"Now, I've fully understood that."

"Understood? You little bastard, do you now know why I adopted you?"

Gera nodded sullenly.Pascal was satisfied.Although Gera's mood was obviously not high, Pascal only thought that it was tired after a day of class, and didn't notice the abnormality of its mood at all, so the misunderstanding of this embarrassing person deepened just like that.

As one of the hunters, Pascal naturally participated in the distribution of prey.The prey he and Kelier got was enough to feed them.With these prey, they can even stop hunting for the next few days without worrying about starvation at all.

"Master Pascal, call Jela, let's take the meat back and skewer it to eat! I just changed some seasonings back yesterday, and it's so delicious to sprinkle on the meat!" Claire said happily explain.Then, she saw the lion cub lifting the dead body in Pascal's arms: "Oh, did Gera finally change back? It has been unable to return to the form of a lion cub in the past few days, and we have been worried about it. This is amazing It's great that Gera will never be seen as a subbeast again."

Hearing Claire's voice, the little lion lifted his head weakly and glanced at her, then lowered his head again.The female man has no way to understand the sadness that flows upstream in his heart.

"Huh? Is Jella sick?"

Pascal was afraid that Claire would compete with him for the right to raise the cub because he could not take care of the cub, so he hurriedly said, "It's just a little tired."

Claire didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Gera, so she believed Pascal's words.

At this time, the patriarch who had been paying attention to them came over: "I need to arrange a place to live for our new residents. Although you and Claire are familiar with each other, since you are male, she is female... female , then you are not suitable to live together... Oh, what is this?"

Soon, he was also attracted by the little lion in Pascal's arms.

Gera greeted the patriarch with a drooping head: "Hello, patriarch."

The patriarch looked at the golden fluff in front of his eyes in disbelief: "You are...Jera?"

Before Gera could answer, Claire said first, "We told you just now that Gera is a male, not a sub-beast. Do you believe it now?"

She always felt that the patriarch hadn't really accepted the difference between these outsiders and the people in the tribe. Now, with the living example of little Jella in front of him, he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore, could he?

"Oh, Jela is a male, a...a male with spiritual power." The patriarch's brows were tightly frowned—his expression has been like this all year round, and it is difficult for others to observe from the lines of his facial muscles whether he is happy or not. not happy.

"Yes, as you can see."

"Okay, okay." The patriarch forced himself to digest this fact: "Then it can no longer enjoy the preferential treatment given to sub-beasts in our tribe, and its food can only be obtained from its parents. Of course, it still has to go Learn the spiritual power courses of sub-beasts, this is what we agreed on earlier."

"Of course." Claire agreed without hesitation.

In fact, after knowing that the extra fruits and vegetables that Gera got were actually sub-beasts, Claire and Gera returned those things intact every day.It's not that she can't afford to raise a child, and she can't afford to take advantage of others.

As for Jella, he was relieved to know that he no longer had that "preferential treatment".Finally no one will force it to eat vegetables!

"Let's go back to the original topic." The patriarch said to Pascal: "You can't live with Claire. The elders in the clan arranged for you to live in the cave on the east side. Considering that Gera is your adopted son, I I have to ask, does it live with you, or continue to live with Claire?"

"Of course you live with me!" Pascal said.

"With all due respect, will you take care of the cub, Master Pascal?" Claire did not give in at all: "Jera is used to my company, if you are doing it for its own good, it is best to let it stay with me .”

"Follow you, and let you raise it like a female? Before I came here, I had always trusted you, but I have to say, you really disappointed me, Claire." Pascal moved out Gera was misunderstood as a matter of sub-beasts, and Keli suddenly lost her voice. She already felt guilty about this matter, and had no way to refute Pascal.

"It's so decided, Gera will live with me in the future." Pascal was in a good mood after finally winning over Gera's "custodial rights", and he said very "magnanimously": "You will miss Gera from now on , You can also come and see it at any time. Of course, I hope you can control the time, lest my son learn bad things from you."

Claire nodded, selectively ignoring Pascal's last words: "That's right, I want to supervise you carefully so that you don't raise your cubs in an inappropriate way. Then, little Jella, you will follow me from now on." Master Pascal, live well, and if he bullies you, come to me." Claire didn't notice that her tone was like a mother telling her daughter who was about to get married.Her nerves have never been delicate enough, and she also failed to notice Gera's little eyes begging for help.

SOS distress signal transmission failed.It's not that we didn't work hard enough, but that the response of the signal receiving end was too slow.

Gera could only lower his head, accepting the fact that he was about to receive Pascal's education in Iron and Blood.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to worship the gods again.The thick snow can't resist the devotion of the tribal residents to the gods.

The orc tribe believed in the beast god, and Gera noticed that on this day, the orcs did not go hunting, but cleared the snow in front of their house early, and then hung the totem in front of their house.The totem is a strange-looking animal, which is said to be the mount of the beast god.

The orc tribe is located in a remote corner, with very limited supplies, and the scale of their sacrifices cannot be compared with the scale of sacrifices in the three major cities.But when the totem was hung on the top of the pole, fluttering in the wind, and people hummed ancient songs with unknown meanings, the outsiders were easily immersed in the atmosphere they wove.

Everyone carried the sacrifices and gathered towards the altar in the center of the tribe spontaneously. Jela and the others also walked forward with the main force and witnessed the whole process with their own eyes.

"It's the first time for me to participate in such a sacrificial activity." Gera whispered to Claire.There are too many people here, and Gera is at a low altitude. For the sake of convenience, Claire lifted Gera on her shoulders and let her sit.As for Pascal, who was exuding low air pressure, the two of them tacitly ignored him again.

"Me too. Although when I was in the city of Foroville, people in the city worshiped the god Bramandeni every year, but when I was old enough to be qualified to worship the god Bra, I had already followed Lord Pascal left Florville. When I was young, I thought about being a priest of the god Bra..." Unlike the atheist Gera, Claire is a faithful believer of the god Bra.She looked very sorry for not being able to sacrifice to the gods she believed in.

"There will be opportunities to worship that god in the future." Comforting people has never been a job that Gera is good at, but it doesn't want to see Claire who is very good to him feel sad.

"I know." Claire looked at Gera comforting her like a little adult, feeling warm in her heart, and soon showed her trademark hearty smile: "Although I regret that I haven't been able to pay homage to Bra God, but I don't regret leaving Foroville City at all. The Lord of Celante is too bad, someone has to deal with him! One day, we will return like heroes, Lord Pascal promised I, when the time comes, will make me a priest to the god Bra. Woohoo! That sounds amazing, doesn't it?"

Jela looked at Claire who quickly walked out of her depression, and felt that she didn't need to comfort the girl at all.Her ability to self-regulate is so strong that it puts it to shame.However, it was still very happy to see the smile on Claire's face without a trace of haze.It followed with a smile, and slowly, its face wrinkled into a ball again.

Somehow, it always feels that someone is watching it from behind, and there are more than one pair.This makes it feel weird, it is not the only little beast being pushed up by the parents, logically no one should pay special attention to it!Gera was confused.It's a pity that its current posture prevents it from turning its head to find out.

Pascal, who was forgotten by the two, looked at the two "mother-loving and filial sons", and his resentment was so strong that it almost became real.Obviously he should be one of the protagonists, okay?Claire is a heartless fellow, he must teach her what it means to respect her superiors someday!And Jerra the brat!He spent so many days and failed to make it learn to respect and depend on his father. It seems that the methods he used are still too gentle. Wait until he returns to the nest to see how he can teach this naughty brat!

On the other side, the patriarch also stared at Gera on Kelier's shoulder.He didn't understand why Claire was so kind to this cub, since it wasn't her cub.The patriarch found that he didn't like Claire being close to others at all, even if the other party was just a cub, it would make him uncomfortable.

Covering his beating heart, the patriarch thought sullenly, is he sick?

He withdrew his gaze, not daring to look in Kelier's direction, and unexpectedly collided with Pascal's gaze in mid-air.Both of them let out a "hum" from their noses, and quickly turned their heads away.
