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

The forest was densely vegetated. As the black leopard moved through it, dew from the branches splashed onto Bai Ze's face, making him shiver from the cold.

Bai Ze wiped his hands with his sleeve, then lowered his body again, burying his hands in the black panther's soft fur, pressing them against its warm skin.

A crack gradually appeared in the east, letting out some grayish-white light.

As the black panther ran at high speed, its bones caused its muscles to rise and fall. After Bai Ze adapted to the initial jolting, its eyelids began to droop slowly.

I'm cold and sleepy.

After an unknown amount of time, the sun peeked out, and through the gaps in the branches and leaves overhead, one could see the sky was a faint red.

A misty fog came into view.

The mountain path ahead was difficult to traverse, strewn with many rocks.

With a swift leap, Bai Ze on the black panther's back suddenly slid off, and just as he was about to fall, he snapped back to reality and quickly grabbed Mo tightly.

The black panther, having landed, stopped running and turned its head back.

"I'm fine, let's get going." Bai Ze gently patted Mo's back.

Knowing this wasn't the time to sleep, he quickly bit his cheek to wake himself up.

When the black panther runs, its posture is exceptionally agile, even the curves of its muscles are so beautiful, and its speed and stamina are superb.

The group didn't stop until around noon, when they finally stopped by a stream.

Bai Ze was already sore from being jostled around so much that his back and buttocks were numb. He shakily climbed off Mo's body, but when he landed, his legs gave way and he fell directly to the ground.

"Are you alright?" Xing, who was closest, quickly helped him up.

Qing looked worried: "Bai Ze, are you feeling unwell?"

Surrounded by stares, Bai Ze, sprawled on the ground, felt incredibly embarrassed. He quickly brushed the weeds off himself and forced a calm smile: "It's nothing, I just slipped."

Xing looked down: "The ground is indeed a bit damp."

"You guys should watch where you're going." Bai Ze secretly rubbed his knees.

Ouch...that really hurts.

He found a rock and sat down.

The moment Bai Ze touched the stone, he felt that his once vibrant buttocks had died.

After getting dressed, Mo walked over to Bai Ze, took his hand and looked at it; his palm was a little red.

"How are your legs?"

"It's alright." Bai Ze withdrew his hand, looked up at Mo, and asked, "Aren't you going hunting?"

"Si and Li went."

"oh."

Bai Ze patted the seat next to him, gesturing for him to sit down.

Then he reached into the leather bag, took out the leaf, opened it, and inside were fragrant fried dried fish, river shrimp, and dried meat.

"Running for so long must be tiring." Bai Ze put the food in Mo's hand and urged, "You should eat something to nourish yourself."

"And you?"

"I have some too." Bai Ze smiled and took out another packet. "I'll share some with Xing and Qing."

Yan and Chen, who were gathering firewood, came over after smelling the aroma and stared intently at Mo.

Mo knew exactly what they were up to, and closed the leaf containing the food: "Get to work."

"Dinner will be served soon."

Yan chuckled and quickly hugged Mo.

Chen shuffled over, saying, "Mo, we'll do your work for you in a bit."

"You should get some rest."

"That's right, that's right." Yan smiled and winked at Chen.

Mo didn't pry off the two "octopuses" on his body, and rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"He truly is a good brother."

"Ink is still the best."

"Those who grew up together are family."

……

The two of them kept flattering Mo, and "justifiably" divided up several dried fish and small pieces of dried meat from him. After finishing, they licked their lips with lingering satisfaction, and then looked at the bright red river shrimp.

"Get lost." Mo kicked them both. "Don't even think about the rest."

"Hey, we're not gluttons." Yan waved his hand. "Let's get to work."

He said that, but then he turned around and took Chen to Bai Ze's side, where they ate several mouthfuls of food.

Mo was finally able to slowly savor the delicious food that Bai Ze had prepared for him, but just as he finished eating a shrimp, Li and Kun, who had just finished hunting, also came over, drawn by the aroma.

The two of them, with shameless eagerness, cut to the chase: "Mo, it smells so good."

After saying that, he swallowed hard, staring intently at the food inside the leaves.

The highly respected Si silently sat down next to Mo and coughed lightly: "Um, Mo, have I been good to you usually, haven't I?"

"..."

Mo, trying to salvage his remaining half-eaten food, said without batting an eye, "Oh no."

"What nonsense are you talking about, child?" Si chuckled and patted Mo's back with enough force to slap a Moo Moo beast.

Li and Kun were practically drooling, and Si resorted to "moral blackmail."

Of course, Mo didn't reason with them about morality, but he was still forced to "go soft-hearted" and lost half of the food.

Seeing the three of them wipe their mouths and look in his direction, Mo wolfed down his food and immediately showed them the bare leaves.

"I made a bad choice in making friends!" Mo thought to himself.

Their group was at the very front of the procession. They had killed a Humming Beast, butchered it, and then roasted it over the fire, sprinkling it with salt before eating.

The taste was definitely not as good as homemade, so Bai Ze took out the chili powder and ginger powder he had brought with him and sprinkled them on for seasoning.

The orcs in the tribe had previously helped Bai Ze dig a cave, so they had naturally tasted his cooking and were still thinking about the food. They all gathered around, asking Bai Ze to sprinkle some on them.

Seeing that they could all handle spicy food, Bai Ze simply sprinkled it directly onto the rows of meat skewers.

The sounds of slurping filled the air as everyone ate, their foreheads sweating, yet they couldn't stop.

"It smells wonderful! This smells amazing!"

"Bai Ze, what is this made of?"

The tribe already knows about ginger and wild onions; Bai Ze even led them to dig them up. But as for chili peppers, only Qing and Xing know about them so far.

Bai Ze said, "Chili peppers, roast them over a fire, and then grind them into powder."

"Chili pepper?" Dan thought for a moment and asked, "Is it that red, pointed thing you picked last time?"

Bai Ze: "Yeah, it tastes pretty good, doesn't it?"

Dan and another sub-orc, Zhen, immediately nodded: "Mixed with meat, it tastes delicious!"

Bai Ze doesn't eat much; after finishing his meal, he wandered around to digest.

Mo wouldn't let him go far, so Bai Ze looked around, trying to see if he could make any new discoveries.

Before long, they actually reaped some rewards.

A Sichuan pepper tree!

My fingers were covered with tiny red granules, clustered together, they were so pretty.

"Qing, Xing, come quick!" Bai Ze shouted excitedly.

Hearing Bai Ze's voice, Mo thought he was in danger, so he put down the food and practically flew over: "What's wrong!?"

"No, I'm fine. I just discovered something new," Bai Ze quickly explained.

Others also rushed over, and the sight of them made Bai Ze feel a little embarrassed.

He pointed to the Sichuan pepper tree in front of him: "These fruits make meat taste better."

Kun plucked a piece, popped it into his mouth, and after just one chew, his face instantly contorted in pain.

"Ugh, ptooey, ptooey..." He quickly spat it out.

The intense numbing sensation rushes straight into the mouth, affecting every part of the tongue from the tip to the back, and also carries a spicy and astringent aroma of herbs and plants.

Seeing Kun's expression, Li asked doubtfully, "Can this really be eaten?"

Before Bai Ze could speak, Qing and Xing had already started to work, quickly picking the fruit and putting it into the animal skin bag.

Yan worked even harder.

Bai Ze: "You can't eat it directly. Like chili peppers and ginger, it's used for seasoning."

Xing urged, "If Bai Ze says it's edible, then it's edible. Hurry up and pick them; we still have a long way to go."

Upon hearing this, their team immediately got to work.
