"Malcom, we haven't heard from her in a month, I'm really worried."
Natasha mother said with a worried look on her face.
"Natasha must be strictly disciplined, she can't act so wildly anymore. You shouldn't keep pampering her like you do anymore!"
"What did you mean by that? If I don't pamper her, who will pamper her?"
Sophia, Natasha's mother said looking very dissatisfied.
"I…"
Malcom could only sigh.
At this moment, the maid hurried in and said:
"Sir, ma'am, the young lady is back!"
"Natasha is back?"
Natasha's mother looked surprised and hurried out.
"She has become so thin.."
"Is she sick? She is not hurt is she?"
Malcom sighed and followed his wife out with a straight face.
"Where's the pharmacist? You guys, please be careful with that. Forget it, I'll do it myself."
Natasha was instructing the servants to move the red eyed lion into the slaughterhouse.
At the same time, he asked the servants to find pharmacist.
"What kind of lion is this? Why is it so big?"
"Although it is dead, my legs still feel weak when I stand in front of it!"
Several guards and servants were shocked when they saw the body of the red eyed lion.
Even though it was dead, they still felt fearful when they stood in front of it's corpse.
Even the few guards who were knights, were considered experts and had hunted lions before, felt a sense of unease when they stood in front of this giant lion.
Natasha was about to pick up the lion, but she heard her mother's doting voice coming from the side.
"Natasha, come here, let me look at you, have you lost weight?"
"Mom!"
Natasha suddenly became well-behaved when she saw her mother.
"Dad!"
"So you still know the way to go home?"
As soon as he opened his mouth and was about to scold her, Natasha's mother suddenly became dissatisfied and said:
"How can you loose control your temper when Natasha just came home? Go away!"
"I…"
Malcom held felt suppressed in his heart that he couldn't express himself.
He could only glare at Natasha and scold her with his eyes.
Her mother pulled Natasha over, and looked at her all over.
She found that although she was thinner, her completion was better, and she looked much fitter.
Seeing that her daughter did not seem to have suffered outside, her hanging heart immediately relaxed.
"Natasha, you…"
Suddenly seeing the red eyed lion on the stretcher, she exclaimed and said,
"Natasha, did you hunt this giant lion?"
Sophia looked very nervous at the moment.
"Mom, I bought this!"
To avoid worrying her mother, Natasha could only lie.
She didn't even dare to say that she had killed the lion with her bare hands.
"You bought it? That's good, that's good!"
Her mother seemed to breath out a sigh of relief.
As long a problem can be solved with money, there is no danger.
As long as het precious daughter does not take risks, any amount of money spent would be worth it.
Malcom looked at the red eyed lion, feeling fearful.
'This giant lion is so terrifying. Even when it is dead, it still gives people a sense of oppression.'
"What kind of lion is this? I've never seen it before!"
He asked doubtfully.
"We haven't seen him either!"
Several guards also shook their heads.
"Dad, this the a lion king, the red eyed lion!"
Natasha said.
"Red Eyed lion?"
Malcom looked confused, he had never heard of it before.
He glanced at the guards , but they also shook their heads.
One of the servants said:
"Sir, there is a story book about the red eyed lion. It is said to be a legendary king of lions!"
Malcom's face suddenly darkened, then he glared at Natasha fiercely, and said:
"A story book? How can you believe such nonsense?"
Although this giant lion was terrifying, he did not believe it.
He thought that it was probably a more rare breed of lions
Natasha made no excuses, she knew that her father would not believe it.
The rest of the people won't believe something from a story book either.
The guards carried the red eyed lion into the slaughterhouse, while chatted with her mother.
They soon also went to the slaughterhouse.
Several people tried to skin the lion, but they could not pierce the skin, so Natasha had to personally do it.
"The red eyed lion is indeed the king of lions. Ordinary people may not be able to pierce the lion's skin with a sharp knife!'
Natasha sighed inwardly.
When the pharmacist Franky came, he was also amazed to see the huge lion.
At Natasha's request, he selected dozens of precious nourishing medicinal materials from the Brande family's medicine storehouse, most of which were medicinal herbs that greatly energy.
Malcom walked over seemingly unintentionally, glanced at the lion carcass, and said calmly:
"Franky, please remember to take good care of the lion's penis."
In this kingdom, it was believed that ferocious animal penises were a good aphrodisiac.
Franky hurriedly put on a smile, nodded and said:
"Sir , don't worry, I'll use half of this lion's penis to brew a jar of lion king wine, and I'll mix the other half with some other herbs to make some powerful medicine."
"After taking it, even an old man with half a foot in the grave would become powerful in that aspect."
Hearing this, Malcom nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Well, if you need any herbs, just ask for them."
Natasha, who was standing at the side, couldn't help but say:
"Dad.."
She was about to say that she wanted to give it to her teach but she was interrupted.
Her father glared at her and scolded angrily.
"Do you think I want to use this thing myself? Your grandpa is old and is busy with official duties all day, so he needs this tonic."
"Your grandpa loves you so much, why don't you know how to be filial?"
Natasha opened her mouth, but in the end she could only left her father have his way.
"With teacher's level of strength, he probably doesn't think highly of the such vulgar things."
Thinking about this, Natasha felt that it was more appropriate for her to give the lion's fur to her teacher.
"Humph! "
Malcom saw that he had restrained his daughter, so turned around and walked away.
Franky chased after him.
"Sir, do you really not need it? I originally planned to use it to brew a bottle of medicine that is less effective and more suitable for your age…"
Malcom patted Franky on the shoulder and said:
"Although I don't need it, I can give it away. Some of my colleagues in business at my age may need it, so you can do as you please."
"Just do whatever you want. "
Franky glanced at him suspiciously, but he simply nodded without exposing him.
"I understand, I know what to do! "
That night, the Brande Mansion was full of joy.
Sophia was so happy that she gave a bonus to the servants and even held a banquet.
The servants were in high spirits and ate to their heart's content.
The silly young lady of the family had finally come back after being away for more than a month.
…
In an inner courtyard of the Brande family, a pot of lion meat was placed on a plate, Malcom and his wife ate a small bowl but they became unable to eat anymore.
Natasha alone ate half of the pot of lion meat.
The remaining ones were given to some knights of the family.
The knights were top-notch experts that were hired by the Brande family.
Natasha used to admire them, but now she looks down on them and thinks that they are too weak.
She could probably kill one with one punch.
Of course, when she was young, she had learned knight techniques from these people and so she had a good relationship with them.
After eating the lion meat, Natasha returned to her residence.
In this place no outsiders were allowed to enter without her permission.
This was where she practices.
After returning last time, it was renovated and a secret room was added.
In the secret room, Natasha sat cross legged and started to refine her bones.
As her mana circulated, her whole body became warm, and the speed of her digestion seemed to increase.
In her body, the mana snake swallowed and coiled around her bones, and its tempering power became stronger as it travelled in her body.
"Sure enough, the red eyed lion is the lions, it containing elemental mana suitable for helping me."
Natasha circulated her mana faster to increase the speed of tempering.
"The tempering speed is way faster than what I could achieve before!"
As the mana tempered the bones from the inside and outside simultaneously, the copper bones began to glow with a faint golden color.
This was a sign of transformation towards the golden bones!
