Transmigrating to the Beast World and Raising Cubs with a Black Panther

Chapter 1 An Outrageous Time Travel

"Cough cough cough..." Bai Ze woke himself up with a violent cough.

My lungs felt a burning pain.

He suddenly opened his eyes and took several deep breaths of oxygen to barely alleviate the suffocating feeling in his chest.

Everything was dark at first glance, and after a moment, my blurry vision gradually came back into focus.

Bai Ze rolled his eyes, trying to figure out where he was.

This empty and gloomy feeling... could it be the morgue of a hospital?

Bai Ze recalled the scene that happened before he lost consciousness and felt it was too outrageous.

Even movies wouldn't dare to film something like this.

He had just finished a job interview and was heading to the nearby bus stop with his resume in hand.

As a result, after walking only a few steps across the zebra crossing, a bald old man driving a three-wheeled motorcycle sped towards Bai Ze like he was piloting a speedboat, running a red light and disappearing just centimeters away from him.

Bai Ze was genuinely startled, and the expensive color-printed resume in his hand was blown to the roadside by the howling wind.

After nearly being hit, Bai Ze, despite his good manners, was furious when he realized what had happened. He had just cursed "Fuck!" when several claps of thunder suddenly rang out in the sky. Then, a flash of white light appeared, and a bolt of lightning struck him directly.

Bai Ze will open his eyes again right now.

Such absurdity, yet it truly happened to him.

Bai Ze tried to sit up, but he didn't have much strength. He tried to use his arms to support himself on the bed, but grabbed a fluffy thing.

He looked down and realized that he was completely naked and wrapped in a brown blob.

Bai Ze reached out and touched it; the texture and appearance were very similar to the fur of some kind of animal, which startled him. He quickly got up to check his surroundings.

The gray, uneven rock face, the makeshift light source, the shelf made from tree trunks in the corner, and the animal hides in several colors...

Bai Ze finally realized something was wrong—this seemed to be a cave.

What lay beneath them was not a bed at all, but rather a large stone slab covered with thick layers of hay and animal hides.

"I—" Bai Ze stopped abruptly before he could finish the second word. He was genuinely terrified; the thought of being struck by lightning was terrifying.

Bai Ze carefully lifted the animal skin blanket and was about to get out of bed when he heard footsteps approaching from the cave entrance. He quickly sat back on the bed, completely naked, and wrapped himself up tightly again with the animal skin.

A little boy, about six or seven years old, walked in. He looked shocked when he saw Bai Ze, but quickly recovered.

Before Bai Ze could even feel happy upon seeing the person, he was stunned.

The child in front of me was very beautiful. Beneath the black bangs on his forehead were a pair of deep blue eyes, like the ocean, filled with an unyielding coolness and indifference.

However, their clothing resembled that of wild NPCs in a tourist attraction, or even more primitive.

Bai Ze blinked incredulously. This... is cosplay?

The boy walked over and whispered, "Father."

"Hmm?" Bai Ze looked around, then reached out from under the animal skin, pointed to himself, and asked uncertainly, "Are you calling me?"

The boy frowned almost imperceptibly, but didn't speak, simply standing silently to the side.

He had long been accustomed to his father's attitude towards him, which was now considered unusually mild compared to before.

Receiving no response, Bai Ze looked around, then leaned forward and asked the boy, "You are...?"

The boy paused, then stared at him with a strange look.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Bai Ze didn't dare to make any rash moves and opened his mouth: "How did I get here?"

At this moment, the boy finally realized that something was wrong with Bai Ze. He took two steps forward, looked around several times, and then said, "You fell into the lake."

"Fell into the lake?" Bai Ze asked, puzzled. "I remember being struck by lightning. The blinding light was like a movie special effect; it flew over in a flash."

The boy couldn't understand what he was saying, and his brows furrowed even more.

Bai Ze was a little confused, but he tried to be as amiable as possible: "Are there any adults here?"

"The beast father has gone hunting."

Bai Ze knew the word "hunting," but it usually only appeared in movies, TV series, and documentaries. Now, it was being spoken calmly by a child, which, combined with his unique appearance, was really strange.

Furthermore, what is "beast father"? And what was that "adoptive father" just now? What are all these things?

Bai Ze rubbed his head to calm himself down.

The boy stared at him, his eyes filled with obvious confusion.

Bai Ze sighed, "Little friend, do you have a cell phone here? Could I borrow it for a moment?"

The boy finally spoke: "What's a cell phone?"

"A cell phone is—huh?" Bai Ze stopped mid-sentence, staring at the boy in astonishment. "You don't know what a cell phone is?"

The boy shook his head.

Something is wrong!

Bai Ze hurriedly tried to get out of bed, but after lifting the animal skin halfway, he instantly realized he was naked and quickly stopped. "Could you give me my clothes?"

The boy walked to the wooden shelf in the corner, stood on tiptoe but couldn't reach it, so he stepped on the stones next to him to take down a few pieces of animal hide, and carried them to the bedside.

Upon seeing this, Bai Ze quickly said, "No, I want my own clothes, the ones I used to wear, jeans and a hoodie."

The boy, puzzled, looked down at the pile of animal hides: "These are your clothes."

"No—never mind." Bai Ze stretched out both hands, picked up the purplish-black animal hide on the bed, turned it over and over, and looked it over from head to toe.

He was just about to ask how to wear it when he saw that the child had already consciously retreated outside the cave entrance.

Bai Ze recalled the boy's clothes and tried to put the animal skin on himself. After struggling for a while, he managed to dress himself in a slightly more normal way, but he still felt awkward about it.

There was a pair of animal skin shoes on the ground. I don't know how they were made, but they looked quite decent. However, they were difficult to wear because they were tied and bound.

In this emergency, Bai Ze didn't care anymore. As long as his gear didn't fall off, he could just go barefoot and expose his buttocks.

Upon exiting the cave, Bai Ze discovered that there was another cave outside. The place he had just been in must have been a smaller cave that had been dug out from the larger cave.

He carefully observed his surroundings, trying to glean some useful information from them.

There were many things in this large cave. Near the entrance, there was a pit dug in the ground, surrounded by a pile of stones. Inside the pit was half-burnt, charcoal-black wood. Next to it was a grayish-white pot, which looked rough and was very heavy, probably made of stone.

Next to the pot was a flat stone slab with two knife-like objects on it.

Bai Ze approached and discovered that one of them looked like it was made from a polished clam shell, while the other was probably made from a special stone; both were very sharp.

Next came several rough stone bowls, a stack of green leaves much larger than the palm of your hand, with smooth surfaces and a hard texture, and a stone jar about half the height of a person.

Further to the side, there is a large, solid, square-shaped rock with a smooth, polished surface, much like a stone table placed in a park.

At the far end of the large cave, against the wall, there was a pile of dry grass covered with animal hides. Next to it was a slightly shorter wooden shelf with several animal hides of different sizes that had been cut.

The more Bai Ze looked at it, the more it resembled an illustration in a history book, and the more uneasy he felt.

He strode out of the cave, and the next second, his eyes widened suddenly, and he froze on the spot as if petrified.

Looking around, all you see are tall, dense vegetation, rising and falling, layer upon layer, stretching into the distance, seemingly endless, even more breathtaking than the primeval forests in documentaries.

The boy was sitting on a log outside the cave, but he immediately stood up when he saw Bai Ze come out.

Perhaps Bai Ze's expression was too astonished, because the boy also became nervous and looked warily into the nearby dense forest.

It was very quiet, with no dangerous wild animals or other orcs around.

Bai Ze held onto the stone wall with one hand and covered his chest with the other.

Could he have been taken to some primitive forest or tropical rainforest tribe of savages?

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed from the bushes not far away, startling Bai Ze so much that he almost couldn't catch his breath.

A cool breeze suddenly rushed into his parched throat, and another fit of violent coughing rang out: "Cough cough cough..."

"Cough cough cough..."

My lungs were already aching, and now they're even more painful.

Bai Ze wanted to drink some water to calm down, so he bent over and quickly walked to the stone vat he had just seen.

The hand, which was halfway outstretched, suddenly froze in mid-air.

He stared at his reflection in the water, and the next second, he staggered back a few steps.

In the water was a face that looked remarkably similar to his, if you ignored the deep blue eyes and the silver-gray gradient hair.

But Bai Ze quickly and rationally realized that it wasn't him.

An absurd thought suddenly popped into his mind—he was currently inside someone else's body.

Bai Ze slumped to the ground, his brain starting to race.

"Could it be that he was struck by lightning and accidentally traveled back to the era of primitive humans?"

"Or is it a soul transmigration?"

"This is so illogical!"

Jue stood to the side, silently watching Bai Ze, her face tense.

Bai Ze raised his hand, took two deep breaths, and then shakily got up.

Sin!

Recalling how the child had addressed him, Bai Ze suddenly looked up, pointed to himself, then to him, and asked nervously, "What's our relationship?"

Jue's hands tightened unconsciously: "You are my adoptive father."

Bai Ze became somewhat agitated: "What is 'Father-in-law'? Why do you call me that?"

"You gave birth to me." After saying that, Jue lowered her eyes and subconsciously shrank back.

Normally, upon hearing such words, Bai Ze would have already slapped him, but he didn't do so now. Instead, his blue pupils, which were the same as Bai Ze's, suddenly widened.

"What?!" Bai Ze's mouth dropped open, completely dumbfounded. "You mean I'm your dad?"

How could that be? He's been single for over twenty years and has never even held a girl's hand. Where would he get such a big son?

Jue clenched her fingers and didn't say anything.

Bai Ze thought he had frightened him, so he took two deep breaths to calm himself down, and then tentatively asked, "Then, what about your mother?"

Jue asked blankly, "What is a mother?"

Bai Ze's heart tightened.

He changed the subject, trying to keep his tone calm: "What's your name?"

"Jade".

"No surname? Just the character 'Jue'?"

The boy hesitated, his gaze unsure: "Surname?"

"Okay." Bai Ze chose to skip the question. "So, where is this place?"

"Cave".
