Sasha lowered her gaze to her leg. She had already learned to move on three legs-it wasn't fast or stable, and the couldn't hunt, but she could stand to eat and go to the river for water without needing Wendy and Amy's help.

As for her once-broken fourth leg, she had almost forgotten what it felt like to move it.

"Don't put too much pressure on it at once, take it slow Nyx guided her.

Sasha tried to take a step. Out of habit, she put all her weight on three legs, keeping the fourth curled up, limping awkwardly.

A wave of disappointed sighs rippled through the crowd.

Hearing those sighs, Sasha panicked, stumbling forward and nearly falling.

Nyx swiftly stepped in to support her. She said nothing, nor did she rush her–she simply waited patiently for Sasha to adjust on her own.

Leaning against Nyx, listening to her steady and strong heartbeat, Sasha gradually calmed down and tentatively placed her injured leg on the ground.

There was a little discomfort, but it wasn't nearly as painful as she expected.

Her leg, unused for so long, was stiff, and walking on four legs was slower at first than on three. But as she kept moving, she picked up speed.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Sasha's walking speed actually became just like any other lion's, and her posture returned to normal. She looked no longer limping at all.

Excitement surged in Sasha's brain, and a bright light sparkled in her eyes. She walked around restlessly, not even wanting to stop.

She had truly recovered. She hadn't become useless after all.

The gloom on her heart suddenly dispersed, and she couldn't help but laugh. She even wanted to run and jump.

"Wait, don't run just yet." Nyx stopped her. "Recover for a few more days, take it slow."

Rehabilitation wasn't something that could be done in a day. It had to be gradual, and the leg couldn't be pushed too hard

too soon.

This time, Sasha trusted her completely, her eyes sparkling as she nodded repeatedly. "Okay."

She would listen to everything Nyx said.

The other lionesses were stunned, unable to recover from the shock for a long time.

After a while, Wendy and Amy screamed and rushed toward Nyx. “Nyx, you're amazing.”

The other lionesses were a bit more composed, but they felt the same inside. They thought, 'It is incredible. A leg that was broken could actually heal like this.

Before this, they had never heard of anything like it.

The lions' excited roars attracted more small animals who came to watch.

Seeing the limping lioness now walking normally on four legs, they couldn't believe their eyes.

The birds on the branches, who had witnessed everything, chattered non-stop, telling everyone what had happened.

The news spread quickly.

In just two days, the whole oasis had heard the shocking news about the lioness' recovered leg and also about Nyx's name.

+13)

Actually, Nyx had already been quite a famous lioness, but her name was mostly associated with Theon and Felix as their subordinate. This time, though, she made a name for herself, and even stories from her childhood were brought up again.

"Nyx was always super capable since she was little." The birds spread stories about Nyx everywhere. "When she was a little cub, she got really sick, burning with fever, and it was her who directed 'Theon to find her grass to help her get better."

For animals, a fever was actually a dangerous thing, especially for young cubs. It almost always meant death was imminent.

Nyx had survived thanks to her knowledge of healing with plants. It was incredible.

In no time, Nyx's reputation as someone who could heal both injuries and diseases spread far and wide.

Wherever she went, there were countless eyes following her.

Feeling those eyes on her, Theon and Felix became extremely vigilant. They took turns patrolling their territory several times a day, and when they had free time, they stayed close to Nyx, never leaving her side.

Their strict vigilance kept anyone from daring to approach.

A rainstorm came down, signaling the end of the dry season.

After so long without rain, Nyx joyfully ran around in the light drizzle, but was quickly grabbed by two male lions and brought under the shelter of a large rock.

“I'm not a little cub anymore. I don't mind getting wet," she grumbled, not happy about it.

Felix didn't listen and immediately pulled her into his arms, gently licking her head. She wasn't a cub anymore.

But the time when she had been sick as a cub had left a lasting scar on the two male lions. As soon as they saw her in the rain, they panicked.

Nyx understood their fear and only muttered a few words, and then obediently lay under the big rock to stay dry.

Listening to the soft rustling noise of the rain, with her mates on either side keeping watch, she felt peaceful and soon fell asleep.

In a drowsy haze, she didn't know how much time had passed, but she suddenly heard someone calling her name from the

rain.

The voice sounded familiar and was getting closer.

Suddenly, Theon had rushed out. Then, a sound of a lion fighting echoed.

Her drowsiness disappeared instantly, and Nyx quickly opened her eyes. “Theon.”

She squinted and looked carefully, realizing that the lion fighting with Theon was one she actually recognized.

"Nyx, I'm Curled Ear. Do you remember me?" asked Curled Ear. It had been a while, and Curled Ear had grown past the awkward juvenile stage, his thick mane fully grown, turning him into a young and handsome lion.

But right now, he was in a messy situation, desperately trying to avoid Theon's blows while shouting at Nyx, "Save my brother! Please! He's dying. Find him some herbs to heal him!”

His plea was so heartfelt that Nyx couldn't help but soften.noveldrama

She hurried toward Theon, calming him down, and then looked up at Curled Ear. "What happened to your

brother?

With the conditions so poor, she wasn't sure if she could help with every illness.

“I don't know,” Curled Ear stammered, panicked. “He was fine earlier, but suddenly collapsed”

Nyx was a bit confused.

“Let's go check on him," she urged. “Hurry, lead the way."

Curled Ear couldn't believe it.

Cautiously, it watched Theon and Felix, seeing that they didn't stop Nyx from leaving the territory, so it bravely

ran ahead to guide her.

Nyx followed. Felix quietly trailed behind her.

They didn't want to interfere too much with Nyx's freedom, but they couldn't help but worry about her going

alone into another lion's territory.

Lion lives were on the line, so Curled Ear ran as fast as it could.

Fortunately, Nyx was in good shape and kept up, following him until they reached a large tree.

Curled Ear had grown up but still didn't have his own territory and was still wandering around.

"My brother and I were going to wait for the dry season to pass and then claim some land," he said, sounding

downcast.

He thought, 'We have finally found a like-minded ally and formed an alliance, only for him to possibly be lost

like this?

Nyx followed his gaze and saw a strong lion, gasping in awe.

Though he didn't compare to Theon and Felix, he was still much more majestic than a normal lion, a rare and handsome

one.

Without Theon and Felix as exceptions, this lion would've been the next king of the plains. But now, he was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, twitching faintly.
