As she spoke, she released the ancient Sacred Beast's overwhelming pressure, aiming to intimidate the crimson-flame lion at the peak of the sacred beast realm before her.
The lion, which had been about to pounce forward and devour the human child as a snack, sensed the ancient Sacred Beast's aura. Its paws halted mid-step, and a hint of fear and reverence flashed in its eyes. It looked at the tiny human figure before it and involuntarily backed away, emitting low, muffled growls.
Seeing it retreat, Yue'er secretly sighed in relief. It retreated to a tree outside the cave entrance, lying there while watching her inside the cave and licking the wound on its hind leg that was bleeding.
Seeing the wound on its leg oozing blood, even if it licked it clean, fresh blood continued to seep out after a while. Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, the lion also looked listless.
