Chapter 233 My Parents Discovered My Identity as an Archdruid While I was Trying to Keep a Low Profile as a Park Director!
Mother Fang took a deep breath, her eyes becoming moist.
Her son was the apple of her eye, and the thought of Fang Ye risking his life to attract visitors by engaging with lions and tigers made her heart ache and fear for him!
Although he was standing here safe and sound now, what if something happened?
Well... something had actually happened, though it was different from what she expected. The original owner had died suddenly from overworking during the day and staying up late at night studying knowledge. However, Fang Ye inherited the original owner's memories and was reborn, so one could also say nothing had happened.
Wiping her eyes, she choked out, "It's nothing!"
She decided not to share her discovery with Father Fang just yet, planning to ask him later.
"I'm going up now. You can film from the side later!"
Father Fang saw Mother Fang looking as if she wanted to cry but understood – his son was emotional!
He took out his phone, opened the recording app, and said, "Okay, you go ahead!"
Fang Ye was talking with visitors. "In Europe, animals like lions and eagles are highly esteemed and many families use lions in their coats of arms, right? Look at 'Harry Potter'; the Gryffindor house emblem is also a lion, symbolizing courage.
But have you noticed that these crests always feature male lions? Are there any that use a lioness as the emblem?"
The visitors thought hard and realized, hey, that seems to be true!
A visitor, who appeared to be a football fan, said, "Real Zaragoza's emblem is a red shield with an upright male lion! Manchester United's emblem also features a red lion with a crown, wielding a trident."
"Male lions have manes, which look cool! Lionesses don't have such distinctive features."
Fang Ye smiled and said, "Exactly, the biggest difference between male and female lions is the mane!
"Male lions' manes look handsome and noble. For a long time, humans have seen the long manes on the lion's shoulders and neck as symbols of power and dignity.
"Not only in human eyes, but within the pride as well, the mane is a significant symbol of status! Generally, when a group of lions feeds, it's usually the lion with the longest mane that has the right to eat first. Of course, usually, the lion with the longest mane is also the largest, and its presence makes the smaller lions consciously move aside."
"Before fighting, lions will size up each other's mane to gauge fighting strength. If they see a lion with a long mane, they probably won't want to mess with it and might just submit, thus the mane can save lions from unnecessary fights."
"It's akin to humans with exaggerated tattoos or those wearing big gold chains; you can tell at a glance they're not easy to contend with. People would rather avoid them if possible."
Seeing the woman take off her sunglasses to reveal a face very familiar and dear to his memory, with a rather subtle expression.
His brain suddenly crashed. Isn't that Mother Fang?
Fang Ye felt a bit of collapse inside. She had come so suddenly, and he had no mental preparation at all!
And he hadn't recognized Mother Fang's disguise earlier, and he had carelessly admitted to petting tigers and lions. How was he supposed to explain that?
He froze for a few seconds, then turned his earpiece off and squeezed out an awkward but polite smile, "Oh, Mom! Long time no see, you're still so young and beautiful, as gorgeous as a flower. Listen to my explanation..."
"Alright, I'll listen to your explanation..."
The two of them walked away, leaving the visitors somewhat dumbfounded.
Then they looked at each other, "Oops, that's bad!"
"Did I say something I shouldn't have?"
"There goes me being a low-profile director. My parents discovered I'm the Archdruid!"
The visitor who was boasting about Fang Ye petting predators like kittens, now put his hands together in prayer, wearing a look of sanctity, "I hope the director is alright!"
...
A moment later, at the Lion Restaurant!
On the other side of the indoor area of the lion exhibit, one could directly exit to continue strolling in the Predator Gallery or enter the Lion Restaurant.
The restaurant's environment is different from the resting area restaurant being built next to the reptile house. It is purposefully decorated to be rather rough, with deep yellow wooden walls that exude the primitive tribal atmosphere of the African savannas.
Through the large, bright windows, the beautiful scenery of the lion exhibit's grasslands could be admired in its entirety.
One could see the magnificent Pride Rock, and Qiqi was lying not far from the window, resting on the grass.
Fang Ye and his parents were sitting in the restaurant, Fang Ye smiling awkwardly, while Father Fang and Mother Fang were mostly not in a good mood.
"Do we need to ask, or are you going to confess honestly?"
