Chapter 158: Chapter 158: If You Die, You Die

Half an hour later, Nan Yu was shaking so bad from the cold that she had a hard time removing all the Silver Needles from the three lions.

As soon as she finished, she could not stand it anymore; she collapsed onto the ground and tried to curl up to retain her body heat.

But it was useless; she was losing heat too fast—she felt as though she was in a giant ice cellar, beginning to lose the capability to perceive the outside world.

Her lips trembling and turning purple, she looked at the three lions.

"You’re all fine now, hurry up and go," she said.

The Lion King, slowly regaining consciousness, no longer had the fierceness in its eyes. It turned its head, looking blankly at Nan Yu.

As if it could feel her chilling body, it tentatively stretched out its paw and placed it on her arm.

Nan Yu felt a warm surge, stunned for a moment, and with difficulty, she looked up, meeting the Lion King’s obsidian-like black eyes.

She joked weakly, "Are you trying to keep me warm?"

Her voice was so feeble it was almost inaudible.

As if the Lion King comprehended her words, it placed its other paw on Nan Yu’s hand, then stood up and laid its warm belly over her legs to warm her.

Seeing this, a glimmer of moisture appeared in Nan Yu’s eyes. She wanted to extend her hand to rub its big head but did not even have the strength to lift a finger.

In the end, she said weakly, "Thank you..."

Before she could finish, her vision darkened, and she completely lost consciousness.

The Lion King quickly turned its head toward the other two lions, letting out a roar.

"Roar!"

The other two lions, originally baring their teeth and defensive toward Nan Yu, heeded the call. Under the Lion King’s gaze, they obediently withdrew their frightening fangs.

Silently shaking off the rainwater from their fur, they approached Nan Yu.

The three lions formed a circle, solidly surrounding her to shield her from the wind and the rain.

They all exposed their warm yet vulnerable bellies, pressing them against her body to keep her warm.

In the thick of the night, one human and three lions huddled beneath a rock, saving one another.

Meanwhile, in the halfway-up-the-mountain cabin.

Ren Xingzhou stood in the middle of the cabin, looking at Sheng Ruomei blocking the door and couldn’t help but say irritably, "Sheng Ruomei, I’m trying to save your daughter. Why are you stopping me?"

Sheng Ruomei was firmly blocking the door, no trace of affection for Nan Yu in her eyes.

"Ren Xingzhou, with the heavy rain outside, if you take the tranquilizer gun to save Nan Yu, what if the lions come here? What about all the people here?"

"You can’t possibly sacrifice everyone here just for one Nan Yu, can you?"

Ren Xingzhou tapped his upper palate with his tongue, struggling to suppress the anger in his heart.

"The pride of lions won’t come here. If you stay here quietly, there will be no issues; but if I don’t go and save Nan Yu, she will certainly die," he said.

He walked up to Sheng Ruomei, looking down at her imperiously.

"Move aside, now!"

Confronted with that fierce gaze, a hint of acquiescence flickered in Sheng Ruomei’s eyes.

But remembering the purpose of her trip, she steeled her heart and said through clenched teeth, "She chose not to get in the car, chose to get off your motorcycle—that means she was prepared to sacrifice herself."

"Besides, trading her life for ours is a certain gain for us. If she dies, she dies—why should you risk your life to rescue her?"

Ren Xingzhou stood shocked in place upon hearing her justifications.

He found it hard to reconcile the Sheng Ruomei now, with the ugly demeanor, to the good mother who had arrived here, tears on her face, holding Nan Yu.

And in that moment, he suddenly understood the words Nan Yu had said before.

It turns out that people’s eyes can indeed deceive them!
