Chapter 758 - 631: You Know Me? (2)
The black panther was really not accustomed to such close contact, he felt uneasy, yet his body slowly relaxed.
Jin thought this little female was truly strange.
He pondered for a long time before faintly understanding this odd feeling—as if this little female somehow knew him?
It made sense now, why she would call out his name, why she had a kind of natural trust and reliance on him, as if he were the closest person to her, someone who would always guard and protect her.
Even this emotion infected him to some extent.
Including a patience and indulgence he had never experienced before towards this little female’s daring actions, something unimaginable in the past.
Jin didn’t like keeping suspicions in his heart, so he straightforwardly asked, "Do you know me?"
The little female didn’t move, closing her eyes as she curled up in his arms, using his tail as a sleep mat and pillow, as if she were truly asleep.
Jin pulled his tail out, frowned impatiently, and said, "Speak."
"Don’t pretend to be asleep."
"Otherwise I’ll eat you."
"..."
Shen Tang was indeed not asleep, or rather, in such circumstances, no one could be calm enough to fall asleep.
Under the oppressive gaze of the black panther, Shen Tang could no longer pretend to be asleep, so she rubbed her eyes, pretending to just wake up, her voice carrying a coquettish laziness, "What did you ask me?"
The black panther lowered his head, drawing near, those lantern-sized dark golden beast eyes staring straight into hers, repeating tirelessly, "Do you know me?"
Locked in by such a terrifying and powerful fierce beast at close range, like a captured prey. So close, the murky strong breath blowing from overhead made Shen Tang’s hair and clothes sway in the wind, instinctively causing a huge sense of fear and pressure, making her want to run away.
Yet the little female seemed not to be afraid at all.
She deeply gazed into those familiar golden eyes, her lips moved slightly, but she shook her head with a light laugh, "I... don’t know you."
Jin’s heart suddenly felt empty, somewhat stifled, as if the answer he had hoped for was dashed, and the other party gave a reply he didn’t want to hear.
He still thought, maybe the two were once acquainted, only he had forgotten due to mental madness; or perhaps she had seen him, they had known each other long ago.
Unfortunately, none of these were true.
She said: she didn’t know him, she had just heard some rumors before, vaguely guessing his identity by his appearance.
This was obviously the truth, but why did Jin feel a bit lost? And the smile on the little female’s face seemed to carry an inexplicable sadness beneath its lightness.
Do they really not know each other?
Jin only felt a kind of indescribable irritation stuck in his heart, the first time in his beast life to have such a strange feeling, even he couldn’t understand it himself.
The black coarse long panther tail slapped the ground, revealing an unexplainable frustration!
Yet the little female again gently leaned over, cupping the black panther’s face with her hands, looking up at him, her bright eyes saying, "But~ we can start knowing each other from now!"
She silently added in her heart:
Ah Jin, we can get to know each other anew!
Even if you’ve forgotten, it doesn’t matter; I will always remember you, remember all the beautiful memories we have together.
We can start knowing each other anew.
The black panther’s body suddenly stiffened, the tail stopped swaying.
He stared blankly at the little female in his arms, her bright black eyes seemed to reflect the stars all over the sky, so brilliant, it made him feel a bit exposed.
The black panther suddenly turned his head, his view once again filled with scattered carcasses everywhere. His voice was no longer as hoarse and unpleasant as at the beginning, yet seemed even colder, more indifferent, "See those things?"
Shen Tang paused for a moment, following his gaze, seeing the ground littered with various mutant beast carcasses, large and small, without exception devoured completely.
A low, heavy, beast-breath cold human voice came from the side,
"All the prey at the bottom of the abyss have been killed by me, there’s nothing edible left here... when I’m hungry, everything in front that can fit into my mouth will become my prey and food."
The dark golden vertical pupils deeply gazed at the soft and tender little female in front of him. Her skin was so snow-white and tender, emitting a sweet and delicious aroma, certainly tasting much better than those ugly mutant species.
Jin’s threat carried a certain teasing smile, and unluckily, his stomach was already starting to feel hungry.
