Only then did the jaguar slowly turn around, took a few steps forward, looked back at the little girl one more time, and then disappeared into the forest with a few leaps.

Mu Shen and Su Yan called out at the same time, and Ruanruan ran to her fathers' side and hugged them tightly, burying her little face in Mu Shen's embrace without saying a word.
She was very upset, and of course, it was not just because of the jaguar, but also because she knew that she and her fathers were about to leave.
