“At the beginning of life, human nature is good.”
“Nature is similar, habits make them apart.”
“If not taught, nature will change…”
“If a child is not taught, it is the father’s fault.”
“If teaching is not strict, it is the Lion’s fault…”
Human reading sounds were frequently coming from the Lion King’s cave.
Was this a distortion of beastly nature, or a loss of beastly virtue?
If any Cultivator were present, their jaws would surely drop in shock.
Because the entrance to the Lion King’s cave was already surrounded by all kinds of Yao Beasts.
They stretched their heads, pricked up their ears, and listened with rapt attention.
Although they didn’t understand what was being said.
In any case, it sounded very cultured, didn’t it?
In the future, they could go out and say they were cultured beasts!
The Yao Beasts outside the cave were not afraid of the Lion King because they were all old neighbors; fighting and killing all day was just too old-fashioned.
Everyone acknowledged the Lion King’s leadership and offered tributes annually in exchange for the right to survive in this area, while the Lion King was responsible for protecting the area from being invaded by powerful Demonic Beasts.
After reaching the third rank, everyone had gained intelligence and should abandon the old concepts of the law of the jungle and constant fighting.
That’s how a proper beast should behave!
Not like those second-rank Demonic Beasts, that pack of wild animals.
They snatched everything they saw and bit everyone they encountered.
They had no decorum.
Inside the cave, Ye Shu was completely unaware of all this; he only felt like he was about to lose his composure.
The Little Beast was very smart; it could learn in one day what an ordinary child would take a month to master.
However, once it understood the meaning of each character, it started to argue back.
“Is this character written like this?”
“Huh?”
“It’s ‘Father’!
Not ‘Husband’!”
“It’s ‘Father’!!!!”
Ye Shu crouched on the ground in despair, using chalk made from the bone powder of a third-rank Rat Yao to write a line of text.
“A teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime.”
“Gu gu~”
The Little Beast squatted in front of him, looking at the words ‘A teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime’ on the ground.
It shook its little head, then used its fleshy paw to wipe away the character for ‘Father,’ and extended a sharp claw to forcefully carve a ‘Husband’ character.
After finishing all this, it proudly shook its head.
As if saying:
“Now you can’t change it, right?”
Seeing the Little Beast’s smug expression, Ye Shu suddenly realized that it didn’t misunderstand; it understood too well.
This was a challenge to his authority!
Could he let his authority be challenged?
Definitely not!
“Father!”
Ye Shu said with a straight face, pointing at the ‘Husband’ character on the ground and enunciating each word: “It’s ‘Father’!
It means father.
A teacher is like a father, not a husband!”
Gu jiu, gu jiu—
The Little Beast shook its head and pointed at the ‘Husband’ character on the ground.
“It’s ‘Husband’!”
“It’s ‘Father’!”
“It’s ‘Husband’!”
“It’s ‘Father’!”
“It’s ‘Husband’!”
Until the sun set behind the mountains and the Lion King returned, Ye Shu was still tirelessly correcting it, while the Little Beast was already getting angry.
It arched its back, revealed two sharp little tiger teeth, and hissed at Ye Shu.
“Hiss—”
A mere human, daring to defy this beast’s affection time and again?
Spoiled by favor, he didn’t even know who was in charge!
Today, he had to be taught a lesson.
The Little Beast tossed its head, took a few quick steps to the Lion King’s side, affectionately rubbed its head against his foot, then extended its little claw, pointed at the ‘Husband’ character on the ground, drew a ‘Father’ character at his feet, and chirped pitifully.
“Chiu chiu, chiu chiu chiu!”
“Chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu!”
While chirping pitifully, the Little Beast slandered Ye Shu’s teaching, saying he wanted to be its father and completely disregarded the Lion King.
At the same time, its little claw mimicked a long wooden stick, then it hugged that imaginary stick with both paws and swung it fiercely, as if to say, that’s how he should be disciplined!
After listening, the Lion King glanced at the pitiful Little Beast, then looked at Ye Shu with a deep gaze.
Immediately, the Lion King strode toward the outside of the cave.
“You’re done for~”
Lin Qingxue elbowed Ye Shu, looking like she was waiting to watch a good show.
The Little Beast also held its head high, looking extremely smug.
Ye Shu’s heart tightened, but he still held his head high, refusing to show weakness.
A straight body doesn’t fear a crooked shadow!
Before long, the Lion King walked back, carrying a slightly curved sharp tooth in his mouth, as if he had just broken it off from somewhere, with powder still falling from the broken end.
“Hmph hmph!”
The Little Beast looked at the broken tooth and became even more smug.
It seemed to have already envisioned the scene of itself disciplining Ye Shu with this broken tooth, its beastly face full of anticipation.
However, the Lion King walked to Ye Shu’s side.
Clang!
The broken tooth was placed at Ye Shu’s feet.
The Lion King raised his head, pointed at the Little Beast, emitted a low roar, and swung his claw forcefully, as if saying: “This girl is handed over to you.
If she doesn’t listen, beat her hard.
You don’t need to listen to me.
If you can’t beat her, call me anytime, and I’ll come to help you beat her!”
The smugness on the Little Beast’s face froze instantly.
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
