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

In the mermaid tribe, everyone looked up in unison, sniffed the air carefully, and finally pinpointed the source of the fragrance.

They couldn't help but gather around, initially keeping a distance and cautiously peering at Bai Ze.

As more and more people gathered, some of the bolder children stepped forward, swallowing hard, and said, "Your food smells so good."

Xi nodded proudly: "Bai Ze's cooking is the absolute best."

Yan and Kun were completely absorbed in playing the role of barbecue chefs, grilling one skewer after another with great gusto.

Seafood and spices, enhanced by flames, create an irresistible and unique aroma, resulting in an explosion of flavor on the palate.

The bright red shrimp have tender flesh, and when they are placed on lush green leaves, they look incredibly beautiful.

The soup in the pot wasn't ready yet, and Bai Ze was stirring it intently.

Mo took the skewers from Yan's hand and fed them to Bai Ze's mouth: "Eat some first."

Before he could finish swallowing, another peeled shrimp was served.

Orcs usually eat the meat and shell together, but Mo felt that Bai Ze didn't seem to like the shell of this food, so he used his fingers to peel it off little by little.

Every time Mo feeds Bai Ze, he puts his hand very close to Bai Ze.

He felt a secret pleasure whenever those soft lips touched him.

Then an impulse would well up inside me—to stick my fingers into Bai Ze's mouth and stir them around violently.

Mo silently withdrew his fingertips and savored the taste in a corner where Bai Ze couldn't see him.

As the fragrance grew stronger, the mermaids around them could no longer resist and began to move closer to them little by little.

Xi saw her playmates from the evening and excitedly introduced them to Yan and the others.

Yan was still very considerate of the cubs, and with a wave of his hand, he gave Xi and Jue several skewers of grilled seafood for them to use for socializing.

"!"

The children looked at each other, wondering what to do. It was so delicious they wanted to jump into the sea for a swim!

Seeing the child's reaction, the adults quietly asked, "Is it delicious?"

The children nodded enthusiastically, saying excitedly, "How about we trade salt for more of this food?"

Li and Kun exchanged a glance and immediately knew they had a job to do. They got up, picked up a knife and leaves, and reluctantly cut the freshly prepared food into small pieces and placed them on the leaves.

They carried the food around in front of the crowd, acting like supermarket food tasters, introducing the items as they went: "Want to try some?"

"One bite and it's so delicious it'll explode in your mind, you'll never forget it."

"These foods are made with our special spices."

"Do you know what spices are?"

The mermaids' eyes were completely drawn to the food in Li and Kun's hands. They shook their heads and began to drool frantically.

"That's understandable if you don't know. We brought it especially this time; good things should be shared..."

Bai Ze leaned on Mo's shoulder and couldn't help but sigh. Luckily, their products were genuine; otherwise, he would have always felt that Li and Kun were swindlers who went to the countryside to trick the elderly into buying things.

Mo tilted her head slightly, and soft strands of hair brushed against the tip of her nose, making it ticklish and fragrant.

The spices completely captivated the merfolk.

But Yan and Chen's hands were practically smoking from swinging them around, and they still couldn't grill enough!

There wasn't even time to eat.

He only tasted one shrimp, and Xi, disregarding past grievances, even offered it to Yan's mouth.

Yan was so moved that he vowed never to bully the cubs again.

However, the shrimp had actually fallen to the ground and was covered in sand, making it a bit tough to chew.

On the reef, Chi gazed at the distant bonfire, licking his fingers with lingering satisfaction; the taste was indeed quite good.

I don't know where Mo got this treasure from.

The seafood soup was delicious, and Bai Ze drank two more bowls. Now he was so full that he decided to take a walk along the beach.

Mo and Si were going to discuss what they would be replacing tomorrow.

Bai Ze went off for a stroll by himself.

There was a moon in the sky, and the ocean at night wasn't completely black; it had a deep blue hue.

The wind, carrying a salty smell, blew in my face.

Bai Ze walked barefoot on the sand when he suddenly heard an ethereal song that seemed to have a magical power, leading him toward the rocks on the shore.

Under the moonlight, that face was breathtakingly beautiful, and the scales on its red fish tail shimmered like jewels.

Chi looked at the newcomer, a slight smile playing on his lips: "What's your name?"

Upon hearing the sound, Bai Ze suddenly realized that he had already walked so far.

Did this fish poison itself?

Or is it really true, as the story says, that their singing has a magical power that can bewitch people?

A smile played in his red eyes: "Hmm, why aren't you saying anything?"

Bai Ze took two steps back.

"Afraid of me?"

"Hmm," Bai Ze said honestly, "You look a little creepy."

"Why are you afraid of me?" Akari was very confident in her looks. "Am I not good-looking?"

Bai Ze looked around. The rocks were scattered, the waves were cold, and there was no one else around except the two of them.

"It's just too beautiful, so in this environment, it looks a bit like a ghost."

If Mo and Yan hadn't introduced him to them today, he would have run away as fast as he could.

"A ghost?" Chi thought Bai Ze was praising him, after all, the word "beautiful" came up first. He leaped up from the reef, popped his head out of the water, and said, "Want to come down and swim a couple of laps?"

"I'm not a fish." Bai Ze found him a bit strange and decided to go back.

"Don't go!" Chi found it extremely amusing, so he tried to keep Bai Ze by singing.

As a result, Bai Ze covered his ears and ran away.

red:"……"

He had no choice but to quickly get ashore and stop the person, saying, "Want to chat with me for a while?"

Bai Ze: "No."

"Are you going to find Mo?"

"Is he your partner?"

Bai Ze felt that this fish had many problems.

Red: "I have a secret about ink to tell you!"

Bai Ze looked up: "What?"

Chi smiled, leaned closer, and asked, "Would you consider staying?"

"What's so good about being with that ice-cold Mo? You might as well stay with the Merfolk; we have many excellent beastmen here."

Chi raised his hand and leaned down, staring straight at Bai Ze: "If you don't like them, there are better ones, like me."

"You're the one with the iceberg face." Bai Ze glanced at him. "Besides, being handsome doesn't mean you're a good fish."

Chi wasn't angry; instead, she smiled and asked, "Do you really like ink?"

"We mermaids only commit to one partner in our lifetime. The scales on our hearts will guide us in the search, regardless of our strength."

"?" Bai Ze didn't understand what he meant.

"Many of you sub-orcs and orcs on land form partnerships not out of love."

"But what we need is to live."

"But for us mermaids, love is above life."

A glint of light flashed in Chi's eyes: "So, you and Mo became partners because of love, or because you wanted to—live?"

Bai Ze paused, staring blankly at the gray-blue sea.

Why? He didn't seem to have thought about it.

Living? Having just arrived in this world, perhaps all he really wanted was to survive.

But now?

Bai Ze suddenly felt his mind was in a mess.
