Chapter 9

The lion’s vertical pupils stared at Nyx, its gaze surprisingly develd of any malice but only pure friendliness.

Nyx was so nervous that her palms were sweating. She’d mentally prepared herself for a bloody showdown, and it actually ended up so peaceful.

She was pissed but also kinda amused. Tossing her fork aside, she plopped back down into her chair with a heavy sigh

“She thought, ‘No doubt, this is the same lion from last night.

So last night wasn’t some crazy dream after all.”

The lion acted like it owned the place, sidling up to her, rubbing against her side, and eyeing the leftover soup like it was a five–star meal.

“Hey, you can’t eat this,” Nyx warned, using one hand to move the bowl away while she tried to push the lion’s face back with

the other.

And then, the lion licked her hand again.

This time, Nyx was a little more chill about it. Without skipping a beat, she used the lion’s fur like a towel and wiped her hand on it.

Last night, she only saw a shadowy outline of the lion due to the light, but now she could see it clearly. Its golden fur shimmered, its thick mane was straight–up majestic, and it oozed wild, untamed charisma. It was like a young and beautiful king of the jungle.

But then, Nyx blinked and shook her head.

On closer inspection, there seemed to be a swirling cloud of black mist wrapped around the lion, writhing and twitching in a way that didn’t look friendly at all.

She reached out to touch it, but her hand passed straight through.

She tried a couple more times, but the mist just stayed out of reach. The lion, looking increasingly annoyed, finally let out a low growl and snapped at her hand.

It came fast and vicious, showing its sharp teeth and violent expression. However, the lion just gently rested its teeth on her hand but didn’t actually bite her. It was just a bluff.

Nyx yelped in mock pain, exaggerating her reaction. “Ah!!”
