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

Early morning, birdsong, and the first rays of the rising sun.

Bai Ze woke up early, reached for his clothes, dressed, and stepped out of the cave when he heard a knocking sound at the door.

When Tie Dan was released back to its mother, it didn't leave. Now it has grown into a large Moo Moo beast with two sharp horns. If it hadn't been raised from a cub and was always docile, it could have really startled people if it suddenly appeared in their sight.

"Moo~" Tie Dan licked Bai Ze's hand again and again with his rough, wet tongue, and gently nudged his sleeve with his head.

Bai Ze went into the storage room and took out a biscuit to feed it. Tie Dan wasn't greedy and finished it in a few bites. Then, it mooed and went out to graze on grass.

Bai Ze was quite puzzled by this. What kind of cow likes to eat steamed buns and flatbread? His Tie Dan's tastes were quite picky.

After boiling corn and eggs in a pot, Bai Ze started tending to his family's vegetable garden and orchard.

Both sides of the cave entrance have been cultivated into vegetable gardens, surrounded by stones. Various vegetables such as eggplant, pepper, radish, and cabbage are planted inside, while spices are planted on both sides. A bamboo trellis is built in the middle to facilitate the growth of cucumbers, green beans, pumpkins, and other vines.

Apart from a few large trees that were kept specifically for swings and to shade the stone table, the rest have become fruit trees. Mo spent a lot of effort transplanting them one by one. Now, in autumn, apples, pears, peaches, pomegranates, hawthorns, dates, persimmons... are flourishing and laden with fruit.

Although Tiedan is greedy, he is very principled. When he wanders under the fruit trees, he only eats the fruit that has fallen on the ground. If he encounters a flock of birds, he will moo loudly to drive them away.

Bai Ze first watered the vegetable garden, then picked up a special fruit-picking tool and plucked the ripe fruit from the treetops. When Tie Dan saw this, he stopped eating the grass and followed behind him, waiting for the delicious fruit.

This year's grapes have yielded a lot, bunches of them, plump and purple, just right for making wine. Last year, Baize tried it once, and the taste was very good; everyone loved it.

But the process is rather complicated, so he plans to wait for Mo to come back before doing it all at once. He picked half a basket of raisins and hung them on a rack to dry in the shade, preparing to make some dried raisins.

After finishing these tasks, Bai Ze ate a simple breakfast and then went to the fields surrounding the tribe.

In recent years, more and more land has been reclaimed, and the grain grown in spring, summer and autumn alone is almost enough to be self-sufficient.

Right now, the corn and soybeans are fully ripe. After a few rains recently, the sun has been shining brightly these past two days, drying out the moisture in the fields. The peanuts can be harvested, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes are quite large and can also be dug up.

When Bai Ze arrived, the beastmen were already busy in the fields. For potatoes, sweet potatoes, and peanuts, the black leopard's claws were much more useful than the stone hoe, and the fruits sprouted in no time.

The orcs followed behind, responsible for picking things up into the baskets, then loading them onto the carts, where the moo-moo beasts would pull them back to the center of the tribe to dry.

Qing and Xing were picking corn when they saw Bai Ze and waved to him with a smile.

Yan, who was picking up fallen peanuts with her friends, wiped her face and ran over, her eyes sparkling: "Bai Ze, you're here!"

"Our Yan is so well-behaved!" Bai Ze bent down and stroked the child's hair, asking gently, "Are you tired?"

Yan waved her little hand: "Not tired at all."

Bai Ze suddenly produced a purple candy: "It's grape flavored."

Yan Ke was overjoyed, stood on tiptoe, and gave him a quick kiss: "Thank you, Bai Ze!"

Bai Ze watched the child running with a smile, marveling at how fast time flies. It seems like just yesterday he was a toddler learning to speak, and now he's all grown up.

Qing handed over a hat, and Xing found a pair of animal skin gloves in the basket. After Bai Ze put them on, they started picking corn together, one person per row, and they could even have a competition.

Although it was autumn, the sun was very strong, and the temperature rose at noon, making it feel like summer. After picking several cartloads of fruit, the three of them were drenched in sweat. While resting under a tree at the edge of the field, they kept drinking water.

As he stood up, Bai Ze swayed slightly. He blinked, and his vision became clear again.

Qing looked over: "What's wrong?"

Bai Ze shook his head and plugged the kettle: "It's okay, I just lost my balance."

Xing leaned closer: "Bai Ze, you don't look too well."

"Really?" Bai Ze touched his forehead, not paying much attention. "It's hot, maybe from the sun."

Qing was worried: "Bai Ze, you should go back and rest first."

Bai Ze put his straw hat back on and laughed, "I'm full of energy now."

"The weather is unpredictable. It would be troublesome if it rained. Let's get this done quickly so we don't have to worry about it later."

Xing: "Then remember to call us if you feel unwell."

Bai Ze: "Mmm."

As evening fell, the three of them finally finished working on the plot of land. Although they were so tired that their backs ached and they had to sit on the ground for a while before getting up, they felt a great sense of accomplishment looking at the piles of corn cobs.

Bai Ze had to go to the pig farm, so he left first. Recently, many piglets were born, and the pigpen was not big enough. The clan chief was going to arrange for someone to expand it, so he asked Bai Ze to come and take a look at the new site.

By the time I got home, it was already completely dark.

Bai Ze groped his way inside and lit the candle; the yellow flame quickly illuminated the cave.

Ever since that inexplicable trip to the modern world, Mo has started tinkering with all sorts of furniture. He even made a wooden replica of a sofa bench, covered with thick hay and animal hides, which was quite comfortable to lie on.

In front of them was a rectangular wooden table with a ceramic vase on it. Whenever Mo and Jue saw pretty flowers and plants while they were out, they would pick a branch or two and put them in the vase.

The cooking area has also been renovated, with a stove just like the one in my hometown's rural area. A "wall cabinet" was specially carved out, and even the dishcloths have a special rack. Everything is done in a very proper manner.

Bai Ze originally wanted to get something to eat, but the dizzy feeling from noon suddenly returned. He sat on a bench, intending to rest for a while, but as he lay there, he woke up in the middle of the night.

As Bai Ze munched on some fruit, he suddenly missed Mo and Jue. He wondered when they would come back. The house felt empty and unsettling.

The next day, upon hearing that a new tribe had arrived at the market, Bai Ze went there, but left after a short while. The smells there were mixed, and there was a strong stench of slaughtered prey, making him want to vomit.

When Lan came over to deliver the zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), he saw Bai Ze lying in a hammock under the tree, his forehead covered in sweat. He called out twice, and Bai Ze slowly opened his eyes, looking blank as he called out "Uncle".

"Why are you sleeping outside?" Lan asked gently. "Aren't you hot?"

Bai Ze then realized it was already noon. He sat up and asked expectantly, "Have Mo and the others returned?"

"They'll probably be gone in two more days." Lan touched Bai Ze's forehead. "Have you eaten?"

Bai Ze shook his head.

Lan smiled and said, "I made some zongzi, they're still warm, have some."

Bai Ze was indeed a little hungry, and said with a smile, "Okay."
