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

Compared to the previous few days, Bai Ze had a much better appetite tonight. Mo and Jue peeled shrimp for him one after another. The bouncy meat, dipped in a sweet, sour, and slightly spicy sauce, tasted absolutely delicious.

Seeing that Bai Ze not only didn't vomit, but actually ate quite a bit, the father and son were very happy and silently decided to catch more shrimp tomorrow and freeze them so they could cook them for him when the cold wave arrived.

After eating, people get sleepy. Bai Ze's eyelids slowly drooped. When he took a bath, his head kept drooping. Mo quickly rinsed the bubbles off his body, wrapped him in a fur blanket, picked him up, and carried him into the cave.

The kang (a heated brick bed) was heated in advance, and the animal skin quilts were warm and cozy. After Bai Ze lay down in it, it felt like he was soaking in a hot spring. He felt extremely comfortable, and after hugging the pillow for a while, his breathing gradually became steady and relaxed.

Mo gently closed the door, then squatted down by the bamboo tube outside the cave to draw water and began washing clothes. The basin next to him was full of clothes that Bai Ze had just changed out of; several of them were light-colored and needed to be carefully hand-washed.

Jue climbed up and down the trees in the orchard, picking off the remaining fruit, as some of the fruit was not frost-resistant and would easily rot if the weather got colder.

Tie Dan was right below, staring longingly with his big head up. As soon as Jue came down, he immediately went up and snatched a few pieces, chewing and savoring them slowly.

The father and son had been busy for a long time. By the time they finished washing up and went back to their respective rooms, Bai Ze had been asleep for a while.

Mo gently pulled the pillow away from Bai Ze, scooped him into her arms, kissed him twice, and then closed her eyes contentedly.

Just as Jue lay down, she heard a "knock knock knock" sound coming from the doorway. Tie Dan poked half his head in, his round eyes full of anticipation.

The man and the ox gazed at each other silently in the candlelight.

Jue was defeated first, and beckoned, "Come in."

Tie Dan immediately nudged the door open with his head, crawled in, and then politely closed the door behind him.

Jue asked, "Are we going to sleep here?"

Tie Dan mooed and spun around to indicate that it was clean, having just taken a bath in the river at noon, and was now a fragrant mooing beast.

Then, before the little master could say anything, he took the initiative to lie down on the animal skin mat by the wall.

Tiedan used to dislike taking baths, so Jue would coax it into sleeping in its own cave after a bath. Later, Tiedan developed a habit of rewarding itself by sleeping in its little master's bedroom for one night after each bath, and it still does this even now that it has grown into a big moo moo beast.

The wind picked up at night and howled all night until dawn, making the morning air even cooler.

However, the cave was still warm, and the two fires were burning brightly. Bai Ze didn't feel anything after waking up. As soon as he stepped out of the cave, he saw the watermelon on the table. It wasn't big, but it was very round.

He moved closer and found a leaf beside it with words engraved in ink:

It's cold, so I can only eat one slice of watermelon.

I went hunting and will be back before dark.

Bai Ze smiled, took out breakfast from the pot, and only after finishing the porridge did he cut the watermelon open. The flesh was crisp and red, and tasted very sweet.

……

This year's cold wave seems to have arrived a bit late, but the first snowfall was heavy, with snow falling thick and fast, blanketing the sky in white.

The people in the tribe no longer had to worry about food, and they all started to stay in the caves, slowly enjoying life. When they were bored, they would visit each other or have a meal together. Life was getting better and better.

Mo and Jue got up very early. The father and son took their tools and started clearing the snow, especially near the cave entrance. Although a shed had been set up, a lot of snow still drifted in.

The pot was bubbling away, simmering with goji berries, red dates, and corn, filling the cave with a sweet, meaty aroma.

Seeing that Bai Ze had woken up, the father and son went into the cave, took off their snow-covered robes, and prepared to have breakfast.

A large bowl of soup was placed in front of Bai Ze, filled with chopped duck legs. After he stopped vomiting, he had a great appetite and could eat several meals a day. His face gradually became fuller.

Mo finally stopped "threatening" Zai Zai and began to show some signs of being a "kind father".

Snowy days can't stop playful children. Xi didn't want to stay cooped up in the cave, so she ran to find Jue after breakfast.

The little black panther has grown into a big black panther. Although it is not as big as Mo and Yan, it is still quite intimidating when it stands there.

Bai Ze asked with a smile, "Xi, would you like some roasted sweet potato?"

The black panther, whose head was being wiped by Jue, nodded, swished its tail, and came closer, letting out a cheerful "Woof~".

Jue pressed down on his hand: "Be careful, it's hot."

Black Panther licked his lips, obediently squatted on the blanket, and patiently waited for Jue to peel the roasted sweet potato for him.

Seeing that the two children had run out to play, Bai Ze also wanted to find Qing and Xing, so Mo simply called both families over, and they all got together to eat hot pot.

When it was time to eat, Yan asked the little bird she raised to call her brothers back. After seeing the colorful little birds chirping overhead, Xi and Jue started running towards the tribe. They arrived home just in time for the hot pot to start cooking.

Iron Eggs became a landing spot for the little birds, with a row of them standing on their two large horns, one on each side, like colorful ribbons tied together, which was quite eye-catching.

The snow fell for several days in a row. When the sky cleared, everything in sight was a vast expanse of white. The orcs in the tribe began to clear the snow along the roads in twos and threes.

Bai Ze was thinking of building a snowman, but when he looked outside in the morning, he found that the area around the cave had been completely cleared away.

There was a bit of regret at first, but a little while later, Xi carried over a snowman, saying that he and Jue had just built it, and told Bai Ze not to go out because the ground outside was slippery and he could easily fall.

With nothing to do, Bai Ze found some tools and started making candied hawthorns. The finished products were stuck into the snow piles outside used to bury food. The strings of red, orange, yellow, pink... coated with sugar and sparkling, were given to people clearing snow and children playing outside.

Mo and Jue had been to the modern world and knew that during the coldest part of the cold wave, there was a very important festival in Bai Ze's region. Although they only learned about the customs from Bai Ze, the father and son started preparing early.

For example, carving paper-cut window decorations out of leaves, preparing lots of candy and nuts, having someone make a new set of clothes for Bai Ze, stuffing pearls and gems under his pillow, making a large plate of dumplings, rolling round glutinous rice balls, and calling Qing, Yan, and Xing over...

Both Mo and Jue are working hard to create the festive atmosphere for the "New Year" that Bai Ze mentioned.

One evening, when the family prepared a great deal of food, the father and son knew that it was almost Chinese New Year.

Bai Ze would take out the photo with his maternal grandparents in it and put it on the table, and they would have dinner together.

The kind-hearted and great Beast God sometimes allows them to return to another world.

But Jue knew that the person her father missed most was in that small photograph.
