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

The digging of the cave was progressing much faster than Bai Ze had expected. He thought it would take seven or eight days, but it was completely finished on the fourth day.

Mo had a tough time during that period, having to work during the day and hunt at night.

Although he was physically robust, after a few days, a hint of fatigue could be seen on his face.

Bai Ze felt quite embarrassed, so after everyone had dinner in the evening, he prepared special meals for Mo again before going to bed.

Steamed egg custard, fish soup, fried river shrimp, honey-roasted meat... Bai Ze would always make extra, leaving some in the pot for him to eat when he returned from hunting in the morning.

Mo Ye would always leave half for Bai Ze and Jue, and would reheat it in advance for his partner and cubs as breakfast after returning in the morning.

At first glance, they really do give off the vibe of an old married couple.

The red dates outside the cave had been dried for several days and were completely dehydrated. Bai Ze took some stewed with the Giggle Beast, and the soup was especially sweet and delicious. Mo and Jue both loved to drink it.

Actually, no matter what he did, the father and son were quite supportive, after all, they used to eat salt-stewed pork belly every day, or roasted it over a fire until it was charred.

The new cave was beautifully dug, spacious and clean, especially the bathroom that Bai Ze had specially planned. The floor was flat, the size was just right, and the grooves on the wall for placing toiletries were polished exceptionally smooth.

The drain outlet was also well-designed. Mo even specially brought over a large, oblong stone, carved out a bathtub, and placed it against the stone wall.

Bai Ze tried it on, and the size was just right. He was immediately touched. He had only mentioned it casually, but Mo had taken care of it right away.

The stove area was also renovated. Mo even went outside to bring in some stones, piled them up to his knees, and then placed newly polished stone slabs on the surface, making it a perfect place for people to sit and chop vegetables.

Looking at the newly renovated cave, Bai Ze was very happy. The feeling of gradually filling up one's home was truly blissful.

Bai Ze looked around Mo's bedroom; it was too empty. As a token of gratitude, he naturally felt he should do something.

Just then, the animal hides that Ci had tanned were ready, and when he went to pick them up, he specifically asked the old man where he could find soft hay.

Ci immediately offered to give him the hay she had previously stored.

Bai Ze, of course, was not going to take it for free, so he made another trip and delivered some food to Ci.

The pale yellow hay exuded the fragrance of grass and trees. Bai Ze shook out the original hay in the cave, mixed the old and new hay together, and spread it out in a thick layer. You could sit on it and feel its comfort by pressing your hands on it.

Bai Ze then laid two more layers of soft animal hides on top, and covered it with a blanket he had brought from his own house. After doing all this, Bai Ze lay down on it and tried it out; it was indeed quite nice.

Finally, move the clothes rack from outside inside, and you're all done.

As soon as Mo finished patrolling the tribe and entered the cave, Bai Ze greeted him with a smile and gestured for him to enter.

"Come and see how it is!"

Mo gazed at everything before him, and a pebble seemed to have fallen into the still pool of his heart, stirring up ripples.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Bai Ze looked at Mo's faint smile and his heart skipped a beat. He leaned closer and couldn't help but say, "Mo, smile more often in the future."

You have a beautiful smile.

Mo suddenly spoke up: "Do you like it?"

Bai Ze nodded immediately without hesitation.

Mo's features were already sharp, and he had a cold demeanor. It's definitely better when he smiles; he becomes gentler.

"Okay." Mo's expression was so serious, as if he were making a solemn promise.

"And this too." Bai Ze pointed to the door in the corner of the cave's "living room," "I might need your help to install it."

It's a very clever door; once closed, it isolates you from the outside world.

Looking at the two caves separated by a wall and the two doors side by side, Mo suddenly felt a little melancholy. Why did it feel like they were farther apart than before?

Ever since they tasted Bai Ze's food, the tribe's praise for him has skyrocketed, especially among the cubs, who would flock around him whenever they saw him.

They would also intentionally or unintentionally run to the vicinity of Bai Ze's cave, peek out, and look for Jue and Xi playing in the nearby woods.

Bai Ze really liked these children. He would always greet them with a smile, and if any children gathered around while he was sunbathing, he would tell them interesting fairy tales.

The cubs, with their big, round eyes and long eyelashes blinking, stared intently at Bai Ze, each one listening with rapt attention and brimming with emotion.

Some of them even turned into little black panthers and snuggled into his arms, making Bai Ze's hands go weak from petting them.

With Mo away from home these past two days, Bai Ze wanted to find something to do, and his eyes fell on the rattan that the children used to play with.

He then cut some down in the nearby woods.

Seeing that Bai Ze liked this, the cubs rushed into the forest, each carrying a large stack to give to him.

Bai Ze made some hawthorn cakes. Although we were out of honey, the fruit was still quite sweet, so they tasted good.

The cubs, having received their share of pastries, worked even harder, spending almost the entire day helping Bai Ze deal with the vines.

As evening fell, the cubs reluctantly returned home, leaving the task of boiling the rattan to Jue and Xi.

The two kids were very enthusiastic, especially Xi, who had a perfect excuse to freeload a meal and was afraid of doing too little.

Once processed and dried, the rattan can be used to weave baskets, hampers, backpacks, bags... and even lounge chairs and beds.

Bai Ze first wove some baskets to hold things. Later, Qing and Xing saw this and started learning from him. They picked it up quickly, and as the slender vines intertwined, one after another, exquisite and practical containers came out. They became more and more enthusiastic as they worked.

The chieftain and the high shaman were amazed and asked Bai Ze if he could teach the other members of the tribe. If they mastered this skill, they wouldn't have to rely solely on meat and animal hides when exchanging goods with other tribes.

Bai Ze readily agreed, as this kind of work would be slow to do alone; it was more suitable for a group of people.

The chieftain immediately summoned the people of the tribe to learn. Everyone was initially just curious about Bai Ze's skillful techniques, but when the finished product was revealed, they were utterly dumbfounded.

In return, the chieftain took Bai Ze to the tribe's storage room and let him choose what he wanted. Later, when the tribe exchanged rattan-woven items with other tribes, he could also participate and have priority in choosing and deciding.

As soon as Bai Ze entered the cave, he was attracted by the rows of animal hides on the shelves. He walked over and examined them carefully, and finally his gaze fell on a few silver-gray animal hides.

The chieftain said, "This is a snow wolf pelt; it's very rare."

Bai Ze couldn't help but picture Mo's face in his mind; the color and texture suited him perfectly.

He immediately decided to take this one, and was a little embarrassed when he first asked, since there were only a few in the huge cave.
