Transmigrating to the Beast World and Raising Cubs with a Black Panther
Chapter 23 Cubs Fighting
As evening fell and the temperature outside gradually dropped, Bai Ze lit a fire in the cave and continued to sit aside sewing Jue's coat.
The child was small, so Bai Ze made a hat out of the extra piece of red fox fur, with two ears on top, and sewed it onto his coat. It looked incredibly cute.
A moment later, footsteps could be heard outside the cave. Bai Ze opened the door and was startled by what he saw.
Xi Hejue's hair was messy, with a few weeds mixed in, and her little face was also dusty.
Jue, in particular, had bruises all over her arms and legs, and red scratches on her neck.
Bai Ze quickly put down what he was holding and went over: "What happened to you guys?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Xi waved her hand, curiously examining the piece of wood at the cave entrance. "What's this? Bai Ze?"
"This is a door," Bai Ze demonstrated, then continued, "So, what happened between you two?"
Chen explained, "Jue and Xi got into a fight with the other cubs in the tribe."
"Hao and Ying were the ones who bullied us," Xi said angrily, recounting the whole story. "They stole Jue's prey and even swore at him!"
Xi Ke wasn't one to take things lying down, especially since they'd gone too far as to bully Jue. He rolled up his sleeves and threw a punch, then started fighting with them.
Jue was initially too lazy to pay attention to Hao and Ying, but when he saw Xi fighting with them, he disregarded everything else, abandoned his prey, and joined Xi in beating them up.
Hao and Ying were both strong and sturdy, but Yan had taught Xi a lot of fighting skills, and Jue had trained with Mo since childhood, so the two of them were not at a disadvantage.
Just as they were fighting fiercely, Chen and Yu, who were on patrol, came across them. The two quickly separated the cubs and sent them home one by one.
Bai Ze gave Jue a quick check-up; they were all superficial wounds. He breathed a sigh of relief and leaned down to ask gently, "So, did you win?"
Jue was taken aback by the question and didn't quite understand.
"Of course! Jue is amazing." Xi, standing to the side, looked up with her little face full of pride, "She beat them all until they were howling."
Bai Ze smiled and ruffled the two children's hair: "Go wash your face and hands."
Chen placed the long-eared beasts that the two cubs had hunted beside the fire: "Jue and Xi are very sensible. It was Hao and Ying who were in the wrong today."
"Thank you for bringing them back." Bai Ze remembered that Chen was Xing's younger brother, so he wrapped some of the apple and hawthorn cake and honey candy he had made that day in leaves and handed them to him.
Looking at the crystal-clear, red, blocky food in front of him, Chen curiously took a sniff; it emitted a very sweet fruity aroma.
He picked up a piece, tasted it, and his eyes widened: "Bai Ze, what kind of food is this?"
"Delicious, sweet and sour."
Bai Ze smiled and said, "This is made with a mixture of sour fruit and red fruit, along with food from the Needle-tailed Beast. Take it back and eat it with Xing."
"Thank you, Bai Ze." Chen swallowed hard, still wanting more, and decided to save this delicious treat for Xing and the others.
The two children had already smelled the sweet fragrance, and after washing their hands, they gathered around Bai Ze.
Xi's eyes lit up: "What beautiful food!"
Jue felt she had made a mistake today and only dared to stand aside.
Bai Ze gave each of them a piece.
"!" Xi took a bite, her eyes widening into round moons. "Delicious, so delicious!"
Sweet and sour, soft and chewy, you'll want to keep eating it.
Children always love sweet foods, especially these appetizing pastries. Even Jue couldn't help but lick her lips and look at the remaining apple and hawthorn cake.
"This is called candy." Bai Ze took two honey lollipops from the leaves and gave one to Lai Jue and one to Xi.
The two children treasured it like a precious gem, looking at it again and again before finally putting it in their mouths, licking it little by little, their round eyes filled with surprise.
Xi Chi was overjoyed. She leaned against Bai Ze, hugged his arm, and said softly, "Bai Ze, how are you so amazing?"
Although Jue did not act as intimately as Xi, she still subconsciously moved closer to her adoptive father.
Bai Ze smiled and pulled the two children into his arms: "You two are also very capable, you actually hunted a long-eared beast."
Xi also chuckled: "Hao and Ying even got kicked a few times by the long-eared beast."
Bai Ze gently patted their backs: "What happened today was not your fault. You did the right thing by not letting yourselves be bullied."
Xi nodded in agreement.
As Jue smelled the faint fragrance emanating from her father, her tense body slowly relaxed.
When Mo returned, he saw two dumplings surrounding Bai Ze in the cave.
Yan also arrived. He originally intended to go straight home, but he ran into Chen on the way. He learned that the cubs had been fighting, and thinking that Xi must still be with Jue, he hurried over to check on them.
However, once he arrived at the cave, his eyes were drawn to the door at the entrance. He opened and closed it repeatedly, completely captivated by it.
Yan hugged the wooden door, craning his neck: "Bai Ze, can you teach me how to do this?"
"Li and Kun have already learned it, go find them." Mo flung the animal skin curtain behind him, which landed right on Yan's face.
Yan yelled, "I'm not letting Bai Ze use his strength!"
Mo looked the two cubs up and down.
Yan asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you were going to fight? Xi, why are all the injuries on Jue?"
Xi: "That's because I'm amazing!"
"Come on," Yan said smugly. "It's definitely Jue who's been protecting you."
Hearing this, Xi pouted and said, "Jue kept holding me back and wouldn't let me go up. Next time, I'll definitely beat them until they're crying and begging to go home."
Yan showed no mercy to the cubs, warning them, "No fighting allowed."
Xi snorted and turned her head away.
Mo has always treated Jue with a laissez-faire attitude, and since fighting is a common occurrence among beastmen, he doesn't care much, as long as Jue isn't seriously injured.
Orcs are not that fragile, not even cubs.
Bai Ze asked, "What does the clan leader want with you?"
Mo sat on the stone bench: "The tribe plans to go out for a large-scale foraging trip in a few days. Before the cold wave arrives, we will exchange the food we gather and the prey we hunt for salt with the mermaid tribe in the east to help us get through the cold wave period."
"Oh." Bai Ze nodded. "Will you go to exchange the salt together?"
Yan spoke first: "Of course, all the brave orcs in the tribe will go; we'll have to hunt along the way."
Bai Ze had an idea and asked, "Can I go with you?"
Yan: "It will take many days, and bringing along the sub-orcs is very—"
"Hmm, I'll ask the clan leader." Mo looked at Bai Ze's longing gaze, unable to bring himself to refuse.
Yan turned his head and looked at Mo with a puzzled expression.
Mo ignored him.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze was immediately delighted and, remembering the food he had made that afternoon, quickly took it out.
Yan has an amazing sense of smell. He had been searching for the source of the aroma, and upon seeing it, he couldn't wait to pick up a piece and ate it with great relish.
"This is mine!" Xi quickly protected her own part to prevent the beast father's clutches.
"Delicious, Bai Ze..." Yan chewed, "How can this thing taste so good..."
Bai Ze remembered Mo's expression when he heard about candy that day, so he handed Mo a honey lollipop and said softly, "This is candy, it's very sweet, try it."
Mo stared at the amber-colored food in his hand, lost in thought for a long time.
This is candy, candy that Bai Ze gave to him.
Bai Ze noticed his silence and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mo shook his head, clutching the candy stick tightly, his voice low and hoarse: "So this is what candy is..."
