Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Three Wives Ran Off with Another Male Lion
The male lion Thunderbolt’s sobs grew more and more despondent.
Renee Jennings’s slender brows furrowed, the worry on her face deepening.
Faye Wyatt noticed the change in her expression and asked nervously, "Is the situation bad?"
"Thunderbolt seems really heartbroken," Renee Jennings said softly. "What on earth happened to him...?"
Although the male lion Thunderbolt was steeped in sorrow, as a natural-born hunter, vigilance and acuity were instincts etched into his very bones. Hearing human voices, he immediately stopped crying.
’Who is it?’
He instantly snapped out of his grief. His two amber-like eyes flashed with a sharp light, carrying an innate coldness and majesty.
’Who’s talking?’
The male lion Thunderbolt let out a low, warning growl. "Whoever comes closer will live to regret it..."
"Thunderbolt," Renee Jennings called out. "Hello."
The male lion Thunderbolt followed the sound and looked over, his wide-open eyes staring at the tour vehicle like black holes. ’How did humans get here?’
’Wait!’
The male lion Thunderbolt caught Renee Jennings’s scent; it was different from any human he had ever encountered before.
’This human smells so good. It makes me want to lie down in front of her and have her pet my fur.’
’What a dangerous thought!’
"ROAR—" The male lion Thunderbolt roared. "Who are you?"
Renee Jennings looked at the male lion Thunderbolt through the wire mesh. Her gaze suddenly froze, her long eyelashes trembled, and she murmured, "Blunt... blunt bangs?"
’A lion that was supposed to be majestic and awe-inspiring actually had blunt bangs?’
’Heavens, this doesn’t look cool at all.’
Faye Wyatt was also stunned. "How did Thunderbolt end up with this hairstyle?" she asked in surprise.
"I don’t know," Carol Morgan replied, looking just as bewildered. "He was fine yesterday."
"Could it be that his depression today has something to do with this hairstyle?" Renee Jennings guessed.
Hearing these humans discussing his dreadful hairstyle, the male lion Thunderbolt started roaring angrily again.
"Damn it! Stop talking about it, damn it!"
"Okay, we won’t talk about it anymore." Renee Jennings, now fairly certain, asked tentatively, "Thunderbolt, are you in a bad mood today?"
For some reason, the male lion Thunderbolt found he couldn’t be fierce with this human. He could only say sullenly, "A bad mood doesn’t even cover it. It’s downright terrible. I might as well be dead!"
"Don’t say that," Renee Jennings quickly comforted him. "If you’ve run into a problem, you can tell us. We can all figure out a solution together."
’Wait, this human can actually understand me?’
"Are... are you a human or a lion?" he asked, confused.
Renee Jennings smiled. "I’m human, but I can communicate with many animals. Lions like you are one of them."
"Oh, I see," the male lion Thunderbolt replied sullenly.
Seeing him hang his head, Renee Jennings asked softly, "Thunderbolt, who were you just saying was being unreasonable? Who wasn’t considering your feelings?"
"What’s the use of telling you?" The male lion Thunderbolt was both aggrieved and dejected. "They don’t love me anymore! They betrayed me!"
"’They’? Are you talking about your lionesses?"
"They’re some other stinking lion’s wives now."
"Why?"
The male lion Thunderbolt said sadly, "SOB SOB SOB SOB... they ruthlessly abandoned me and ran into Blaze’s arms."
"And who is Blaze?" Renee Jennings turned her head to look at Carol Morgan.
"Blaze is the other male lion. The Lion Park has two male lions and six lionesses in total," Carol Morgan explained. "Blaze and Thunderbolt each had three lionesses."
Hearing this, the male lion Thunderbolt roared in agony, "Not anymore! Now Thunderbolt has nothing!"
Renee Jennings tilted her head and looked into the distance. Six lionesses were gathered around a single male lion.
She suddenly understood Thunderbolt a little.
"They’ve gone too far!" Renee Jennings said, indignant on his behalf. "How could they treat you like this?"
The male lion Thunderbolt stared blankly at the human girl behind the wire mesh, his once-dull eyes gradually brightening.
He charged excitedly toward the tour vehicle, his two huge paws scrabbling at the wire mesh, and roared with excitement, "You think they went too far, too?"
The tour vehicle shook from the impact, and Renee Jennings had to grab the wire mesh to keep from falling.
She nodded at the male lion, who was now right in front of her. "Yes! They’re your lionesses. How could they betray you? I won’t stand for it."
"I won’t stand for it either, but..." the male lion Thunderbolt accused, his eyes welling with tears. "They mocked me! They said I’m ugly, that my hairstyle is hideous! But I don’t know why I woke up and my hairstyle was like this!"
’Those blunt bangs really did look out of place on a lion’s head.’
"Actually, you look quite unique. It’s a one-of-a-kind handsomeness," Renee Jennings praised him, lying through her teeth. "Your lionesses just don’t know how to appreciate it."
"Forget them, even I can’t appreciate it," the male lion Thunderbolt sighed. "When I went for a drink this morning and saw my reflection in the water, I didn’t even recognize myself!"
At that moment, he felt like his world was collapsing.
His three wives also noticed his incredibly ugly hairstyle and showed expressions of disgust.
The flirtatious Blaze, who lived nearby, loved to come and hit on his three wives for no reason. And as luck would have it, Blaze showed up again today.
He hadn’t even had time to hide before that bastard Blaze saw his ugly hairstyle and viciously attacked him with words.
Blaze had said sarcastically:
"Thunderbolt, I haven’t seen you in a few days. How did you get so ugly?
"Can’t you think about your wives for a second? Having such an ugly husband is a real disgrace to the pride!
"I’m different. I make myself look handsome every day just to make my wives happy and give them face.
"To be honest, I quite like your wives. And I get the feeling your wives are very satisfied with me, too."
After launching a verbal assault on Thunderbolt, Blaze immediately turned around and started showing off in front of his wives.
His wives couldn’t resist the temptation. One by one, all three of them ran off with Blaze, leaving him all alone.
His three wives had run off with another male lion. Thunderbolt felt his world come crashing down. He had spent the entire morning licking his wounds, completely submerged in sorrow.
Only now had someone finally come to care about him and comfort him.
"What should I do?" Thunderbolt looked at Renee Jennings, pleading for help.
Renee Jennings pressed her lips together and chuckled lightly. "Do you want your wives back?"
"I want my wives back." Thunderbolt nodded his enormous head forcefully and said resentfully, "That Blaze is so shameless! He already has three wives of his own, but he still had to come and steal mine!"
"Besides wanting your wives back, is there anything else you need my help with?" Renee Jennings asked.
Thunderbolt thought for a moment, glanced up at his blunt bangs, and roared decisively, "I want to get rid of this ugly hairstyle! I want to be handsome again!"
"Alright, I’ll help you change your hairstyle." Renee Jennings looked at him with a grin. "You wait here. I’ll go get some tools to help you with your new look."
