Change the world with entertainment with Yokai Girl

"It's not because of that! But there are lion demons trying to provoke us," Lingmao said angrily.

"Don't be like that, it's not the child's fault," Linglan said, tugging at her brother.

"What happened? Seba is my friend, a good and honest kid." Qin Jing asked, handing over the cookies and snacks she had made while cooking for Seba earlier.

Little Seba was silently stuffing his food into his mouth, demonstrating that as long as he had something to eat, he was harmless.

"It's nothing, thank you, Xiaojing, for always making us snacks to replenish our energy," Linglan said with a smile.

"Don't mention it. I was researching food that you would like, and you all helped me by giving feedback on your feelings about the food. It's a mutual help," Qin Jing said, waving her hand.

Most land animals cannot match the endurance of humans, and humans are the only creatures in the world that would choose to run a marathon of more than 42 kilometers.

Millions of years ago, humans relied on stones and wooden sticks, along with the best long-distance running ability among animals, to chase many prey until they were exhausted. Based on this alone, they were already pack beasts that were no less than wolf packs, and thus survived in the struggle for survival.

Although this stamina deficiency has been greatly improved in the branch monsters, the stamina consumed still needs to be replenished by consuming a lot of energy.

Therefore, participants in athletic activities need a lot of food and snacks.

Originally, the track and field club members were responsible for doing this, but through Ms. Mimi's introduction, they met Qin Jing. Qin Jing also needed to collect this kind of information, so they offered to do it in exchange for tasting the food.

Every day, he would provide these athletes with a basket of snacks during their afternoon training sessions.

Linglan is the female captain of the antelope herd in the track and field team's long-distance running group, while Lingmao is the overall captain. They are here as representatives to receive the snacks from Qin Jing.

"How do you like the desserts this time? I added some new fodder," Qin Jing asked the two people who were tasting them.

"Delicious!" Lingmao swallowed the biscuit in one gulp, revealing his white front teeth as he praised it.

“I didn’t ask you, Lingmao. That’s all you can say. Linglan, what do you say?” Qin Jing looked at the antelope girl.

"The saltiness is just right for us after exercising. It has plenty of salt and the fragrance of flowers, which is really delicious. But it would be even better if it had a bit more of the natural scent," said Lily of the Valley.

"Hmm. I'm glad you like it, although I personally prefer the sweeter side. It's a natural flavor, so next time I'll try adding some sedges that antelopes like," Qin Jing said, taking notes.

“Thank you, Jing,” Linglan replied.

"And what exactly is troubling you? Tell me, maybe I can help," Qin Jing asked.

"It's alright." Linglan shook her head.

"Of course there is! That lion has been drooling over you lately! You should really talk to the teacher." Lingmao said angrily to Linglan.

“Brother, I already said it’s not necessary…” Linglan, who was originally very happy, lowered her head upon hearing this.

"What's going on? Does the drooling lion refer to King Ryan of the Lion Clan in this area? Does he often watch you run like that?" Qin Jing then remembered the person he had investigated in disguise before and turned to the little girl to ask, "Seba, do you know about this?"

“Yeah, my sisters used to follow Wang Ryan to the playground every day to watch other monsters run, just staring at him blankly. I used to be dragged along too, but they don’t bother me anymore. Gaaah.” Little Seba continued to gnaw on the freshly roasted meat.

Lingmao said excitedly, "He wasn't watching the running at all, that guy was staring at Linglan! How dare he look down on us, he was drooling the whole time, that was a clear provocation..."

"Stop talking!" Linglan shouted, covering her face.

Lingmao said softly, "I'm sorry... Calm down, Linglan, we'll protect you! Be careful not to be out alone."

"..." Lily of the Valley nodded dejectedly.

"Then we'll be going now."

Qin Jing handed over a large thermos and said, "Take this with you too. It's a herbal tea to relieve fatigue. You can bring the water bottle next time you come."

"Ah, thank you, Qin Jing!" This was the first time Ling Mao had seriously called Qin Jing by her name.

"It's nothing, but remember to give me feedback later," Qin Jing said.

"Okay, okay." Lingmao waved his hand.

The antelope siblings walked out of the cooking class.

"What's the deal with that King Ryan?" Qin Jing asked, puzzled. According to his investigation, the other party should be a simple and honest man. As a king, he had never bullied the weak. Apart from guarding the territory and protecting the lionesses of the clan, he had never done anything that overstepped his bounds.

"Do you know what happened, Seba?" Qin Jing asked the girl.

"I don't know. Although I've always followed Wang Ryan with my sisters, I don't really understand the greatness of the mane. My sisters all say that following Wang Ryan is enough just for the sake of that mane."

"Compared to Wang Ryan, I seem to prefer kind people like Xiao Jing who brings me delicious food, and that kind demon who gave me bread," said Little Seba.

"Haha... I guess aesthetics vary from demon to demon." Qin Jing said, watching the leopard girl eating her bento box with gusto. She thought to herself that this girl not only had a problem with her aesthetics, but was also face-blind.

“But I just can’t appreciate a lion’s mane like my companions do. In my eyes, someone like you, Xiaojing, is much prettier.” Seba honestly expressed his thoughts.

"Even among humans, having a full beard used to be considered beautiful, with sayings like 'a handsome man with a beautiful beard' and 'a man without a beard is unreliable.' But in modern times, it seems that a slim, fair-skinned, and smooth-faced image has become fashionable for men," Qin Jing said.

"Is that so? Human affairs are too complicated for me to understand." Seba said as he finished the last bite of his meal.

"I'm finished eating, thank you!" Little Seba said with a satisfied smile.

"I apologize for the poor hospitality, but... it's time for another dishwashing hell." Qin Jing said with a dry laugh, looking at the piles of dishes and utensils on either side of Seba's seat.

"Xiao Jing, I'll help too!" Little Seba rolled up his sleeves and raised his hand.

"That's a huge help! Let's get all this done together, then we can rest," Qin Jing said with a smile.

"Oh!" Little Seba shouted, raising his hand after he had eaten and drunk his fill.

Little Seba moved a small stool from the corner of the kitchen, stood on it, and started washing the dishes with Qin Jing. They chatted as they washed...

"By the way, Seba, which of the foods you just ate did you prefer?"

"Roast beef, roast chicken, stewed meat, steamed buns, dumplings, fried rice, roasted rice balls, noodles..."

"Haha, you're not going to read it all out, are you?"

"Yes, I like all the dishes Xiaojing makes."

Section 90, Chapter 24: The king sometimes gets jealous.

King Ryan is the king of the lion pride in the elementary school district, leading the lionesses who follow him in their activities at the school. He is a taciturn and tough guy, and he doesn't really understand why he is so popular with so many lionesses. He has always just been fulfilling his responsibilities as the lion king.

He changed clothes and ate meals under the service of the lionesses; with them around, he didn't have to worry about anything. His only task was to protect the lionesses of his tribe from harm, accept all the challenges from the monsters, and then mercilessly crush and defeat them.

He didn't find this kind of life inconvenient, but he didn't find it comfortable either. He had lived this kind of life since he was a child, and that was all.

However, something happened recently that has been troubling him ever since. Today, in order to find out what happened, he left his followers behind to meet a young woman and have a proper talk with her face to face.

In the afternoon, the girls from the elementary school's track and field team were preparing to practice on the sports field.

Meanwhile, the petite but uniquely shaped antelope girl, Linglan, was chatting with her track and field friends, Baomiao, a leopard girl from the cheetah clan, on their way to the locker room.

At that moment, a gigantic, tower-like figure blocked their path.

It turned out to be King Ryan of the Lion Clan. His tall and majestic body and long, pure black mane made him look imposing and domineering. He remained silent, his eyes fixed on the lily of the valley, with nothing else in his sight.

"Wang Ryan! Don't come any closer!" Leopard Girl decisively stood in front of Linglan and said.

"It's alright, you go ahead." Linglan pulled the leopard girl back, stroking her fur to reassure her.

“But…” Leopard Girl looked at Lily of the Valley with unease, then at the big lion.

"Don't worry, he won't hurt me," Linglan said confidently to her friend.

"I'm going now, Lion! Don't do anything reckless, I'll definitely tell the teacher!" Leopard Girl warned Lion Demon before leaving.

On this path, Linglan was alone with Wang Ryan. The girl felt no fear, knowing that Wang Ryan meant her no harm.

"Speak, what do you want from me?" Linglan asked the lion demon.

“Answer…you still haven’t answered my confession to you that day,” Wang Ryan asked in a low voice.

"I...I haven't thought it through yet. I was really happy that you saved me. But if I dated you, my brother, my track and field teammates, and everyone else wouldn't support me." Suzuran lowered her head.

Wang Laien fell silent. He was a direct descendant of Lion Camel Mountain and was destined to become a king of the region. From a young age, he had gained the recognition of the elder lions and the admiration and following of his peers. The lionesses spontaneously followed him, so he naturally had to shoulder the responsibility of protecting these lionesses as the king of the clan.

As a result, more and more lionesses followed him, and he grew stronger with each challenge, but he could not feel 'love' from these followers.

Until one day, when he passed by the sports field, he saw that running figure. It was small and slender, but it was full of energy when it ran. He was completely attracted by that figure. His teeth were itching and his mouth was watering.

A voice inside him urged him to hurry up and catch up with the girl, to run together in the sunset; that would surely make him very happy.

Yes, he fell in love at first sight with the petite and lovely girl in front of him.

However, he held back, after all, he was the king, and a king has his responsibilities. A king cannot let down those followers who trust him.

But after turning away, he couldn't help but think of that girl again.

So every afternoon at this time, he would come to the sports field and watch the girl run from afar.

He hadn't expected to be so excited to see the girl. His heart was racing, and his mouth was watering uncontrollably. Of course, this wasn't because he was greedy, but rather a physical reaction to the excitement in his heart.

What he didn't expect was that the lionesses would misunderstand him and actually bring the antelope girl to him bound.

He comforted the frightened girl for a few words and then let her go home. It was already night, and because he was worried about letting the petite girl go home alone, he secretly followed her.

The girl was attacked by a thuggish yellow-haired lion, so he decisively stepped in and saved her...

That's why what happened next occurred.

Lily wasn't entirely without affection for King Ryan, even though she was terrified when she was suddenly kidnapped by the lionesses. However, King Ryan released her, and later, when she was harassed by those evil monsters, he miraculously rescued her, like a prince riding a white horse. The only difference was the chasm between them called racial prejudice.

"If only you were like Xiaojing, your brother would accept you too," Linglan sighed.

“Him? Xiao…Xiao Jing? Who is that?” Wang Ryan asked in surprise.

"He's the human who often makes us delicious snacks in the cooking class. Everyone speaks highly of him and likes him a lot..." Suzuran said with a smile.

"You like it? You like it too?!" Wang Laien asked urgently, her eyes wide.

"I like it..." Linglan smiled happily as she recalled the taste.

"...The snacks are delicious...Eh? Wang Ryan?"

Before Linglan could finish speaking, the Lion Demon King Ryan was already in tears, snot dripping into his mouth. He roared in grief and anger, then turned into a gust of mournful wind and ran away.

He was the king of the lion demon clan. His body was battle-hardened and fearless of any pain, but now his heart ached as if it were being stabbed with a knife, so much so that tears and snot streamed down his face.

He can't give up! He wants revenge! He'll challenge the guy who's fighting for his love, tear him apart, and reclaim his love.

"Roar! Qin Jing! Get out here! I challenge you to a duel! Roar!"

In the afternoon, Qin Jing was still studying the recipes for monster dishes in the cooking classroom.

Teacher Mimi went out on business, and here is little Seba, who has become idle because he is ostracized by his older sisters.

Because her older sister wouldn't play with her, she came to stay in the cooking classroom here. Qin Jing would chat with her here, and the food she tried making would eventually end up in her stomach.

Suddenly, a loud crash was heard, and the kitchen door was smashed open and fell to the ground.

A huge body with red eyes strode in.

"Human! Qin Jing! Come out here! Roar!" The lion roared furiously.

"What's going on?" Qin Jing asked, taking a few steps back when she saw the other party's fierce appearance.

"You must be Qin Jing! Give me back the lily of the valley! I challenge you to a duel!" Wang Ryan charged forward angrily.

Sensing danger, Qin Jing quickly transformed into Fox Jing. With the enhancement of her demonic power, her body became agile. She curled her tail and rolled away skillfully, dodging Wang Ryan's sudden attack. She asked in confusion, "Lily of the Valley? What exactly is your relationship with that girl?"

"Stop playing dumb! Die!" Wang Ryan's immense strength and sharp claws left deep marks on the walls and the ground.

"Stop! Wang Ryan! Xiao Jing wouldn't do anything bad!" Little Seba grabbed a large wooden stick that appeared out of nowhere and used it to block Wang Ryan's giant claws.

"Get out of my way, little lion, or I'll kill you too!" roared the lion monster, his eyes bloodshot with rage.

"If reasoning doesn't work, then there's nothing we can do!" Seba produced a thick, cylindrical wooden stick from who-knows-where and charged towards Wang Ryan, shouting, "Magic Meryl's Personal Instruction! Seba-style Swordsmanship! Curry Stick!!!"

"Roar! Get out of here!" Wang Ryan opened his mouth wide and roared like thunder, slamming his giant hand down on Little Seba.

The wooden stick collided with the giant hand, producing a dull thud.

Wang Ryan, who was nearly three meters tall, was sent flying out of the door. His head slammed hard against the wall, and he fell to the ground.

"Are you alright, Wang Ryan!" When Linglan arrived and saw the scene, she panicked and rushed to Wang Ryan's side, touching his head and looking at the lion demon's wounds with concern.

"Lily of the Valley...you...why are you here?"

"Idiot! I only said that Qin Jing took care of me, I didn't say that I like him. Besides, how could I date a hairless, naked monkey? Even if girls like pandas, they wouldn't want to marry a panda." Linglan complained irritably.

"Then... Lanlan, do you... do you accept me?" Wang Laien asked excitedly, grasping Linglan's hand.

"I didn't say that!" Linglan blushed and turned her head away.

"Hahaha..." Sensing that he had a chance, the gentle yet strong three-meter-tall Wang Ryan laughed like a child and scratched his head.
