Transmigrating to the Beast World and Raising Cubs with a Black Panther
Chapter 15 Yuan and Bai Qing
The Gaga Beast was still bound by vines and was already quite wilted. Bai Ze wanted to keep it to make soup or roast it for dinner, so he didn't let Jue kill it.
Breakfast was still fried meat, which Bai Ze, with the soul of a modern person, found rather unusual.
I was thinking of steaming two apples for myself, but there was no steamer here, so I had to just put them in water to boil.
Bai Ze suddenly missed the steamed buns, mantou, and rice he used to eat. Since coming here, he had hardly eaten any staple food, and every meal consisted of hearty dishes.
There was a flat, large rock at the entrance of the cave. Bai Ze had been drying things there yesterday, and when he came out today, he found that several more rocks had appeared next to it.
Mo was teaching Jue hunting skills. The little black leopard lay on its belly, knees bent and back arched, learning with great concentration.
Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the cave. Bai Ze thought it was Qing and the others, thinking they were quite early. But when he peeked out, he found that they were two unfamiliar sub-beastmen.
Before Bai Ze could look away, one of the slightly older sub-beastmen walked straight towards him.
"I heard you fell into the water. How are you? Are you feeling better now?" Yuan looked worried and went up to grab Bai Ze's hand.
The sudden closeness left Bai Ze somewhat bewildered. He blinked, a blank expression on his face.
"Who are you?"
Yuan frowned: "Bai Ze, what's wrong?"
Bai Ze awkwardly withdrew his hand and looked up at Mo Hejue.
The father and son stood still, staring at the two orcs in front of them.
Mo's expression was displeased, his gaze cold, while Jue kept a straight face and looked wary.
Yuan asked anxiously, "I'm your adoptive father! Bai Ze, what's wrong?"
"Uncle?" Bai Ze realized that this was the original owner's family member.
However, isn't it a bit too late to show concern now? If he hadn't transmigrated, the original owner's body would have been completely cold by now.
Another young and handsome sub-beastman stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over Bai Ze: "What's wrong with you?"
Bai Ze stared at him, thinking that this must be the Bai Qing that Qing and the others were talking about.
"I hit my head when I fell into the water, so I don't remember you guys now," Bai Ze said, still using the same excuse.
Yuan quickly said, "I am your adoptive father, and this is your younger brother. We are family."
Bai Ze felt awkward hearing this, as if he was afraid of severing ties with them.
And this younger brother, the way he stared at him made him feel uncomfortable no matter how he looked at him.
Mo remained silent, while Jue, pursing her lips, frequently glanced at her adoptive father.
Unable to deny the blood relation, Bai Ze had no choice but to nod and stand there to accept this "family affection."
Seeing this, Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and her smile returned.
He casually sat on the stone bench in the cave, his gaze falling on the entrance to the storage room, and his face immediately lit up with joy.
"Bai Ze, you have so much food here!"
"Are you sure you can finish all these big red berries and the flesh inside?"
Bai Qing looked at the pile of fruit on the ground and blurted out, "Who did you ask for these?"
Bai Ze was somewhat displeased, but he still suppressed his emotions: "I went out to collect them myself."
"Didn't you go to collect your meat when the tribe distributed it yesterday?"
Bai Qing was somewhat taken aback by Bai Ze's tone and answer.
"It's fortunate that you and Mo became partners." Yuan said, then suddenly sighed, "Not everyone can share so much food like Mo."
"Your father's legs are bad, so he can't bring back much food, and the food distributed by the tribe each time is also limited."
"well……"
"Your brother and I can only gather some fruit and wild vegetables on ordinary days..."
Even if Bai Ze were slow-witted, he could understand the meaning behind his adoptive father's words at this moment.
He couldn't help but wonder, were they really a family?
Having said all that, seeing that Bai Ze still hadn't spoken, Yuan Jian's eyes finally flashed with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Bai Ze used to never do this; he would send the things over long ago without Bai Ze even having to come over himself.
As they were talking, Yuan noticed a few pieces of animal hide on a wooden shelf in the cave. He habitually said, "Bai Ze, it's getting cold. Let me take these animal hides back and make some clothes for your beast father and brother."
Bai Ze looked at the two "relatives" in front of him. One had a cold and arrogant expression, while the other was concerned about food and animal hides.
He smiled, but subtly blocked Yuan's view with his body, feigning ignorance: "Yes, it's getting cold, and Mo and Jue don't have many clothes to wear. I was just about to make clothes for them from these animal hides."
Bai Qing's gaze was fixed on Bai Ze's face, her tone suspicious: "When did you start treating them so well?"
"Mo is my partner, and Jue is my child," Bai Ze countered. "Is there a problem?"
Bai Qing: "You—"
Yuan hurriedly pulled Bai Qing aside, interrupting him, her face full of affection: "As you know, your father's legs are not good. Your brother and I were out collecting materials these past two days when we found out that you had fallen into the water."
"I'm sorry, Bai Ze, please don't be angry with your father, okay?"
Bai Ze sneered inwardly. Mo had just distributed the food yesterday, and he already knew about it today.
"Why do you think I'm angry?" Bai Ze asked innocently.
"I..." Yuan was speechless for a moment.
He then turned his attention to the food in the cave and said bluntly, "Bai Ze, let your father take some food back with him."
Bai Ze bluntly stated, "Didn't the tribe just distribute the meat yesterday?"
Yuan looked distressed: "You know, we didn't get much."
If it were the dead of winter, he could barely understand it, but now, Bai Ze clearly didn't believe it.
According to Qing and the others, the food brought back from each group hunt is divided equally among the other members of the tribe, except for a portion that is kept for the tribe to exchange for resources.
Especially in the autumn when food is plentiful, the hunting party brought back plenty of fat game yesterday, so there's no way they'd run out today.
Bai Ze refused, saying, "Jue is still growing, and Mo works very hard every time he goes out, so he needs a lot of food."
Yuan frowned and looked at Bai Ze. Although there was no concept of filial piety and support in the Beast World Continent, beastmen and sub-beastmen still respected their sub-fathers and beastmen fathers quite a bit.
Bai Qing felt that Bai Ze in front of him was very unfamiliar. Could it be that he really damaged his brain?
Bai Ze, seemingly oblivious to their strange expressions, continued, "There's plenty of food outside right now. You and Bai Qing should go out and check; there's sure to be enough."
"There are also some small prey nearby. Tian Jue even brought back a 'Giggle Beast' that day."
"Fathers should also move around more; it's good for their health."
Yuan and Bai Qing looked very unwell.
……
Mo Hejue watched as Bai Ze's adoptive father and Bai Qing walked out of the cave empty-handed. They exchanged a glance, both looking at Bai Ze with surprise.
Mo had even made preparations to go hunting today, only to find that the food was still in the cave.
"What's wrong?" Bai Ze walked over and asked softly, "Are you surprised?"
Neither the father nor the son spoke.
Bai Ze smiled and said, "Although I don't remember anything now, I can still sense it."
"They probably treat me badly, right?"
Mo and Jue remained silent.
