Transmigrating to the Beast World and Raising Cubs with a Black Panther
Chapter 16 Picking Red Dates
Bai Ze bent down and ruffled Jue's hair, then looked up at Mo, his voice sincere: "Thank you for your hard work in the past."
His dark pupils widened slightly; it was just a single sentence, yet it was enough to leave him frozen in place.
As Jue felt Bai Ze's gentle caress, ripples of emotion stirred within her.
"Oh!" Because of the delay caused by Yuan and Bai Qing, Bai Ze realized that the meal was not yet ready, so he quickly turned around and went into the cave.
Mo and Jue were also busy; one added firewood below, while the other was responsible for turning the meat pieces over.
The meat of the Moo Moo beast cooks very quickly; in no time, several large pieces were fried and then sprinkled with coarse salt before serving.
Bai Ze scooped out the cooked apples, served himself one, and then served Mo and Jue two large apples each.
Jue looked at the large, yellow-skinned red berries in the bowl and wondered why her father-in-law wanted to cook them.
The aroma of steaming fruit is irresistible. The steamed apples are slightly tart and have a very smooth texture.
Jue tried it and really liked this way of eating; she finished it in just a few bites.
Mo doesn't seem to be picky about food; as long as it's edible, he's fine with it. His face remains as calm as ever.
Bai Ze didn't have much of an appetite for the meat in front of him that morning. He only cut himself a small piece and gave the rest to Mo and Jue.
Not long after we finished eating, Qing and the others arrived.
Xi ran ahead, her cheerful and excited voice ringing out at the cave entrance: "Jue, are you all done?"
"Come in quickly." Bai Ze greeted her while taking out a few steamed apples from the stone pot, wrapping them in leaves, and handing them to Xi. "These are for you, Qing, and Yan."
Xi was now completely captivated by Bai Ze's delicious food, and she was overjoyed after eating the hot, sweet and soft fruit.
Qing took a bite of the unusual fruit in her hand, her face showing surprise: "Bai Ze, how was this made?"
Bai Ze laughed and said, "Just boil the big red fruit in water."
Yan quickly ate the fruit without even spitting out the pit.
Bai Ze grabbed all the animal skin bags in the house and said impatiently, "Let's go."
Before the words were even finished, Mo and Yan instantly transformed into two enormous black panthers, their fur glossy and black, their muscles forming smooth lines, and their eyes radiating the coldness of ferocious beasts.
Bai Ze was startled. Facing such a beast of abnormal size at such close range, even knowing it was Mo and Yan, he was still stunned into standing still by their terrifying aura.
Yan bent down and Qing skillfully climbed onto his back, turning to look at the motionless Bai Ze: "Aren't you coming?"
Bai Ze looked up at the tall black panther in front of him, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
Mo probably wouldn't want him riding on her back.
Bai Ze hesitated and said, "Maybe I should just walk."
Black Panther stopped, his dark eyes lowering slightly.
Qing reminded him, "We might be going to a rather far place today, and we'll be walking very slowly."
For the sake of his forest treasure hunt, Bai Ze finally mustered up his courage and timidly asked, "Um, Mo, could you give me a ride?"
"Even if I don't want to—"
Before he finished speaking, Mo's body slowly sank down, his back maintaining a steady curve.
"You want me to go up?"
The black panther turned its head slightly to the side, its golden pupils looking at Bai Ze, its tail gently sweeping across the ground.
The meaning is obvious.
Bai Ze walked to Mo's side and tried to climb up like Qing did, but the black panther's silky fur was too soft and smooth.
As expected, he couldn't get up, and when he slid down, he pulled out a few of Mo's hairs.
Bai Ze hid his hands behind his back, feeling a little guilty: "I'm sorry."
Jue and Xi both turned to look at Bai Ze.
Jue then spoke up: "Father, why don't you step on me to get up?" After saying that, he transformed into his black panther form.
Bai Ze sighed, "Stepping on a child... that's not a good idea."
Mo didn't mind, or perhaps the emotions on the animal's face weren't very obvious. He knelt down with his forelegs bent, his abdomen almost touching the ground.
Yan raised an eyebrow, watching Mo's movements with great interest.
Bai Ze was deeply moved and immediately used both hands and feet to climb up quickly.
This unprecedented experience deeply shocked Bai Ze. The fur beneath him was exceptionally fluffy and soft. As the black panther stood up, he also suddenly rose higher, and his view opened up dramatically.
Bai Ze quickly bent down and hugged the black panther's back, his fingers sinking into the fur, the warm body heat slowly seeping out.
Two agile black panthers darted swiftly through the dense forest. The wind whistled past Bai Ze's ears and clung tightly to the panthers' backs and buttocks, allowing him to clearly feel the smooth undulation of the muscles beneath their skin as they ran.
The feeling of weightlessness made Bai Ze both excited and scared. His heart raced and his hands gripped the black panther's shoulder tightly.
The areas near the tribe had already been almost completely harvested, and with Yan and Mo accompanying them, Qing and Bai Ze decided to try their luck in the more distant mountains.
Pa Jue and Xi Luodui, Bai Ze would occasionally turn his head to look behind him, only to find that the two little guys were running quite fast.
Mo ran very steadily, deliberately avoiding sharp bushes when crossing the dense forest, and Bai Ze on his back did not even feel a slightly strong jolt.
After getting used to the speed, Bai Ze gradually relaxed. The feeling of being airborne on the black panther made his excitement rise even higher.
After getting some distance from the tribe, the two black panthers gradually slowed down, their steps steady and light, giving Bai Ze and Qing ample time to observe the surrounding vegetation.
Midway through their journey, they stopped to pick mushrooms and unexpectedly discovered some delicious fungi on a withered tree trunk.
Bai Ze was worried that the three of them had picked poisonous mushrooms, so he carefully taught them to distinguish the edible kinds. Finally, he checked the contents of the animal skin bag again before he was at ease.
Amidst the dense vegetation, a striking red color caught Bai Ze's attention. He gently patted the black panther beneath him and pointed diagonally forward: "Mo, I want to go take a look over there."
It was a tall jujube tree, growing on a slope, its branches laden with fruit, the red of which had overwhelmed the green leaves.
Qing: "It's a pointed-kernel fruit, but pointed-kernel fruits are too small to keep you full, and too many will spoil."
Bai Ze: "I have a way to store spiky berries until the cold snap."
Really?!
Bai Ze nodded: "Don't worry."
There was no need to pick the dates one by one. Yan and Mo transformed back into human form, put on animal skins, picked up a long tree trunk from the ground, climbed up in a few moments, grabbed sticks, and vigorously whipped the branches laden with fruit.
The ripe red dates fell like rain in an instant, and Xi was so excited that she jumped up and down.
Bai Ze and Qing squatted down and picked things up from the animal skin bags. The two children quickly came over to help, each carrying an animal skin bag. Mo and Yan saw that the fight was almost over, so they also climbed down from the tree.
In no time, the group had filled two large animal skin bags.
