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

Mo slaughtered a fresh croaking beast and stewed it in a pot with the sharp-kernel fruit that Bai Ze liked to eat. He also cut up some tender moomoo beast meat, fried it on a stone slab, dug out a few fish from the snowdrift, skewered them on branches, and slowly roasted them over the fire. He even cooked an extra pot of honey fruit tea, using almost all the kitchen utensils in the cave.

The little lynx was not used to its new body. When it walked, it tripped over its own feet and stepped on its own feet. Before it knew it, it fell to the ground with a thud and pitifully meowed at Mo.

Mo was afraid that Bai Ze would fall into the fire, so he picked him up and put him on the animal skin mat next to him, and stuffed a fruit between his paws: "You can gnaw on this first, the food will be ready in a while."

"Meow~" The little lynx pawed at the apple with its paw pads, then tilted its head to look at Mo, its ears twitching.

Mo squatted down: "Eat."

The little lynx licked the apple, opened its mouth, and was about to take a bite when the apple rolled away.

Mo laughed and pushed the fruit back.

The baby lynx tried to lift the apple with its two paw pads like a human, but its paws were too small and it dropped it before it even left the ground.

"Ugh..." The little lynx was unhappy and turned its furry face to the side.

That pesky apple! It doesn't want to eat it at all!

Mo smiled and scooped up the little lynx, placing it on his lap and holding an apple to its mouth.

The baby lynx hesitated for two seconds, took a bite, chewed it, licked its brother's hand, and then took another bite.

A table was laden with lunch.

"Meow~" The little lynx stood on the stool, its front paws gripping the edge of the stone table. It sniffed each piece of food, and the taste seemed to have improved a lot. It stuck out its pink tongue, wanting to lick it a couple of times.

"Hot!" Mo quickly scooped the baby lynx off the ground, holding it in his left hand while using chopsticks and a spoon in his right to pick up a piece of meat and a spoonful of soup, blow on it to cool it down, and then feed it to it spoonful by spoonful.

Bai Ze's appetite has indeed increased, and he ate more meat than in the previous two meals combined. Mo was very pleased about this, and patted the child's head, scratched his chin, stroked his tail, and praised the child several times.

The little lynx, its belly round and full from eating, lay lazily on its animal skin mat. After stretching and crossing its left and right legs, it curled up into a fluffy ball and soon fell asleep with its head tilted to the side.

Mo brought a small blanket to cover him, then started tidying up the cave. After finishing, he carried a stack of dirty clothes to the river to wash them.

As evening fell, Xiao returned carrying his prey, with a leather bag slung over his shoulder containing wild vegetables and fruits that Lan had gathered, as well as a fox pelt he had traded with someone else.

As he entered the cave, he paused, his gaze suddenly becoming wary, and his hand instinctively pressed against the bone knife at his waist.

"Meow~" The little lynx had just woken up, its head still foggy. After wobbling to its feet, it saw Xiao and habitually walked towards its uncle.

"Bai Ze? Mo?" Xiao breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that it wasn't a large wild beast. He quickly walked into the cave to look for the two children.

The little lynx tilted its fluffy face up and meowed at Xiao, "Meow~"

Xiao turned his head, and the little lynx immediately wagged its short tail and pounced on him.

Xiao dodged to the side, grabbed the lynx by the scruff of its neck, and lifted it off the ground, his eyes filled with suspicion: "Where did you come from?"

The little lynx struggled, kicking its short legs a few times: "Meow!"

Xiao took a closer look, paused for a moment, and tentatively asked, "Bai Ze?"

"Waaah~" The little lynx looked at him with a pitiful expression.

Xiao hurriedly scooped it into his arms, exclaiming in surprise, "You're actually a little lynx!"

Bai Ze suddenly wanted to find Mo; his brother wouldn't just leave him hanging.

The child in its beast form looked like a glutinous rice ball, and Xiao was completely charmed. He held the little lynx's paws, pinched its pink paw pads, and watched it open and close its mouth, grinning from ear to ear.

"Good boy~" He immediately tucked Bai Ze into his animal skin robe and happily went out for a walk.

After Mo painstakingly washed a large basin of clothes and brought them back, all that awaited him was an empty cave.

The child is missing!

This thought made Mo panic, and he ran outside as fast as he could, even calling Yan and the others along. The group of teenagers were also extremely anxious.

When they finally found the person, Xiao was already showing off to half the tribe with the little lynx in his arms.

Mo, panting heavily, stared at his seemingly calm but actually extremely proud and arrogant beast father and Bai Ze, who was being eagerly held and fed by the adults. At such a young age, he suddenly felt the taste of a heart attack.

Yan rubbed his eyes: "That's... Bai Ze?"

Mo: "Mm."

He asked, "A fox or a snow leopard?"

Mo: "Lynx."

When Bai Ze saw Mo, it meowed anxiously, paws outstretched, trying to get towards him.

The adults laughed and said, "Why are you so attached to your brother?"

"Meow~" The little lynx bravely jumped, but missed and was about to fall to the ground when Mo caught it steadily.

Bai Ze hugged Mo's head tightly, placed his feet on Mo's shoulders, and pressed his ears down, like a fluffy pendant that could "meow". The two little paws just covered Mo's eyes, making the shape a bit comical.

Yan burst out laughing, and Si was also overjoyed.

"Don't move." Mo pulled Bai Ze down expressionlessly and hugged him with both arms.

"Meow~" The little lynx licked Mo's nose, then rubbed its head against his face, snuggling against his neck in a spoiled manner.

Yan was itching to try: "Let me hold you and play with you for a bit."

Si also stretched out his hand, saying with surprise, "The babies in the tribe are all dark and murky. This is the first time I've seen one so white."

Without batting an eye, he lied: "He's timid and won't let me hug him."

Yan: "Hey, you stingy brat! So domineering!"

Si was even happier, feeling that Mo had finally shown a childish side; before, when he stood there, he was more serious than his beast father.

Xiao ruffled Bai Ze's hair: "Let's go pick up your uncle."

Meow~

After leaving his friend's house, Lan hadn't walked far when he encountered his mate and cub. He stared at the white dumpling in Mo's arms and asked, "What's this?"

Xiao chuckled and said, "It's our good boy, Bai Ze!"

Lan's pupils suddenly widened, and the little lynx meowed and jumped into Lan's arms, nuzzling and kissing her.

Uncle, it's me!

"My little darling~" Lan didn't know how to express her affection, and her eyes never left the little lynx the whole way.

Back in the cave, Xiao even gathered a large pile of snow and placed it at his doorstep, specifically for Bai Ze to play with.

As the sun sets, the drifting clouds and evening glow intertwine to form a brocade on the horizon, and white smoke rises slowly from the village.

At the cave entrance, Xiao put his arm around Lan's shoulder and stood with him in the evening breeze, looking lovingly at the two cubs on the snowdrift.

The little lynx was trying its best to scoop up snowflakes with its paws and put them on the little black panther's head. The little black panther didn't flinch and even lowered its head in cooperation.
