Chapter 2: Paradise on Earth

  But this time was not as lucky as usual. The Golden Lion, who had been watching them from a distance all along, slowly began to move towards them. However, tonight's darkness was very deep, and even with a torch, they could only see the Golden Lion's two shining eyes.

  "Big brother...... what to do?" Bang Ge's voice was trembling, but he still tightly protected Xiao Qi Qi. Chu Yan was the same, his hand gripping the stone knife with visible veins, ready to strike at any moment. However, things didn't go as they wished. After Golden Lion moved a few slow steps, they only felt a gust of wind blow by, and Golden Lion's eyes disappeared into the darkness of night.

  "Brother Ah, Jin Shi has left."

  "Oh, God! Jin Shi took Mo Yi'er away!" Chu Yan's voice was full of anger. Just now, he was still tightly holding Mo Yi'er's hand, but Jin Shi's speed was too fast and his strength was too great. In an instant, Mo Yi'er disappeared from his hands, but he dared to confirm that it was Jin Shi who took Mo Yi'er away.

  "What? Mo Yi'er......" Fan Ge was shocked and lost his color, the torch shone on the place where Mo Yi'er had just stood, but there was nothing there. Fan Ge looked around, wanting to find Mo Yi'er's figure, even if it was the legendary terrifying Golden Lion, he didn't have time to be afraid now. But both Mo Yi'er and the Golden Lion had disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared before...

  The wind grew stronger and stronger, Mo Yi'er sat dazed on the back of the golden lion. It took her a few minutes to react, only to find herself kidnapped by a golden lion. She wanted to shout at the golden lion to stop, wanting it to put her down. But the golden lion's speed was too fast, the dark shadows around her retreating rapidly, comparable to an express train! Mo Yi'er's mouth, which had been about to speak, could only be closed.

  Although it was extremely fast, she didn't know why, but she sat very stably on the back of the Golden Lion, and the warm and soft back of the Golden Lion made her feel very comfortable. There was also a familiar feeling, could it be because she had seen the Golden Lion several times?

  Just as the Golden Lion was sprinting through the jungle, it emerged from the woods and crossed the grasslands before arriving at a cliff. At this moment, the moonlight poured down, and Mo Yi'er could vaguely see the rapidly retreating scenery, as well as the golden fur on the Golden Lion's body. The cliff wasn't a suitable place for running, so the Golden Lion spread its golden wings hidden in its mane, which were about 3 meters long, radiating a dazzling golden light in the dark night, leaving Mo Yi'er staring blankly.

  "Oh, I must be dreaming!" Mo Yier's hand exerted a bit of force and grasped the lion beneath her. The golden lion trembled slightly before soaring into the night sky.

  Mo Yu didn't remember how long it took her to accept this fact, but now she wasn't afraid at all, on the contrary, she was very excited. Just think about it, riding a lion with long wings in the beautiful night sky, she might be the first person in the world! Even if she died directly and was buried in the lion's mouth, it would still be worth it.

  But how could the Golden Lion bear to eat her? After flying for a night and a day, when Mo Yuer realized she was very hungry, the Golden Lion took her to a very high mountain. On top of the mountain, there was another Shangri-La, with towering ancient trees several times taller than those in the valley below, and it wasn't cold here either. The leaves were lush and green, and the ground was covered with tender grasses and beautiful flowers. It looked like someone had carefully tended to this place, and occasionally a few butterflies flitted by.

  Mo Yu'er jumped down from the Golden Lion's back, and the grass beneath her feet was soft and comfortable. The sunset's afterglow was like a golden coating sprinkled on top, making this place seem like an earthly paradise. With the Golden Lion with golden wings by her side, Mo Yu'er felt as if she had traversed through time once again.

  Just then, the Golden Lion shook its wings and put them away, walked to Mo Yier's side, drilled into her arms, and rubbed against her upper body's sensitive parts. Mo Yier was frightened and jumped back, stuttering: "Y-you don't come over here."

  Jīn shī wěi kù ba lā de zhe zháo mò yì ér, jīn sè yǎn jing zhōng de yǎn shén ràng mò yì ér jiào dé sì céng xiāng shí!

  Translation:

  The golden lion looked at Mo Yier with a humble expression, the eyes in his golden eyes made Mo Yier feel like he had seen him before.

  "Hahaha..." Zhang Kuang's casual laughter burst into Mo Yier's ears, and she couldn't help but look at the owner of the laughter. An old man with white hair and a white beard entered her line of sight, but this guy was a bit strange - he was laughing while licking his own hand... The animal hide on his body seemed to be growing out of his skin, similar to the golden lion's fur, but the color and luster were far inferior.

  "Who are you?" A place like this appears a person like him, it's quite strange.

  "Guess?" The old man's words were awkward, as if he wasn't used to speaking much.

  "Why do I have to guess, where is this place? Did you bring me here?" Mo Yier pointed at Jin Shi, she didn't dare to look him straight in the eye, because she always unknowingly fell into a trap, wanting to get close to him.

  "It's none of my business, he's willing to do it himself. Otherwise, even if you hold a stone knife to his neck, he won't bring outsiders here." The old man flipped over a white eye in an unattractive manner and continued licking his hand. Eh yo, the lion is more dignified than him, without the bad habit of licking its paws!

  "Roar~" The golden lion let out a loud roar, as if echoing the old man's words. The cry was both unfamiliar and familiar, making Mo Yi'er's heart even more tangled.

  "Alright, since you're here, just stay here then!" The old man said with a chuckle, and then turned around to leave.

  "Wait, I can't stay here, I want to go back, you let him take me back." Mo Yi'er hastily ran to the old man's side, but the old man suddenly jumped away and roared: "Don't get close to me, this guy will tear me apart."

  As expected, Jin Shi looked at Mo Yier approaching the old man, his expression turned unpleasant.

  The old man didn't care what Mo Yi'er said anymore, and quickly ran away with a movement that was very similar to the Golden Lion's running posture, except without the Golden Lion's domineering aura.

  Mo Yi'er turned her head to look at the Golden Lion, and then took a glance around this mortal paradise. Not far away, there was a mountain-top lake, not big but crystal clear, with koi fish swimming in it. This beautiful scenery made Mo Yi'er feel inexplicably guilty: "I'm here enjoying the view, Chu Yan and Fan Ge must be anxious."

  "Roooaaaar!" The golden lion rubbed against Mo Yu'er again, carefully and with a hint of grievance.

  Mo Yu'er is no longer afraid of him at all, so he directly chased him away. He squatted down beside Mo Yu'er, his nose twitching slightly as he sniffed Mo Yu'er's scent, feeling very comfortable.

  "What's going on here? If you don't want to eat me, why did you bring me here? Do you know that my people will worry about me?" Mo Yier didn't care if he understood or not, and started rambling on. After all, the only one who would listen to her here was this golden lion in front of her.
