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

The shelter was covered with branches. Bai Ze was wrapped in animal skin blankets, hugging his knees, almost curling himself up into a ball. Even though he was very close to the fire, he was still so cold that his teeth were chattering.

It's so cold, how can it be so cold?

I heard from Si that the cold wave season has just begun, and the temperature will only get lower later.

The sound of wind and snow whistling filled the air, making the silent mountain forest feel even more desolate and cold.

After finishing his food in a few bites, Mo squeezed into the makeshift shelter, wrapped Bai Ze in an animal skin blanket, and nestled it around his warm belly.

To adapt to this harsh environment, the beastmen evolved thick hides that provide excellent insulation.

Bai Ze used both hands and feet to hug him, burying his face in the fur on Mo's chest. After a while, his body finally started to warm up.

Mo licked Bai Ze's nape, nuzzled him affectionately, and then used all four paws to pull him closer.

The current temperature is perfectly acceptable for Black Panther, so everyone is resting by the fire outside.

After all, the shelter was small and had limited space.

Yan and the others took turns keeping watch at night. The snow was carried by the wind and kept hitting their faces, forcing them to squint. Their beards turned white, making them look like they were wearing masks.

Every now and then, you have to shake your body to get rid of the snow, otherwise you'll immediately turn into a shapeless "snow monster".

When Xi Hejue came in, Mo was exceptionally generous, pulling Bai Ze closer and letting the two cubs lie down next to Bai Ze as well.

Then, Bai Ze had three all-natural hot water bottles that provided long-lasting heat and had an excellent feel.

During the night, the fire went out once, and Kun and Chen quickly braved the snow to find tree branches to place on top of it to prevent the snow from extinguishing the fire again.

As dawn broke, the snow gradually lessened and seemed to be stopping, but the temperature continued to drop, and the snow on the ground was already up to mid-calf.

Si and his companions went hunting early in the morning. This time they were lucky and encountered a Youyou beast by the stream. Half of its body was in the water and it was completely frozen.

Xi Hejue peeked out of the shelter and saw the white expanse of ground; his playful nature immediately stirred within him.

The two cubs jumped out and hopped around. Because their legs were short, they would sink into the snow after taking a few steps. Sometimes they would even bury their faces in the snow. They would also fall down from time to time, getting covered in snow.

Bai Ze lay on top of Mo, peeking out from under the animal skin blanket: "Are we leaving?"

"Hmm." Mo transformed back into human form, pressed his face against his to check the temperature, and said, "Eat something first."

During cold spells, sub-orcs are prone to illness, which worries Mo greatly. Although he didn't show it in front of Bai Ze, his expression has been very serious since the snow started yesterday.

Bai Ze turned his face and quickly kissed Mo's lips before checking the injury on his shoulder.

It's healing really fast; it's already starting to scab over.

Mo's pupils suddenly dilated, his tongue licking the spot that had just been touched. His Adam's apple bobbed as he restrained himself and went to put on his clothes.

This was the first time Bai Ze had taken the initiative to kiss Mo. He seemed calm, but he kept stealing glances at Mo's reaction. Mo was stunned, but not bad.

Bai Ze thought that they could try something else next time; it should be quite interesting.

Mo went out, filled a seashell with hot water and roasted meat, watched Bai Ze finish eating, and then put another animal skin coat on him, tying the hat up with a scarf.

The group began packing their things to continue their journey.

Yan strode into the snowdrift and, like pulling up radishes, grabbed Xi and Jue by the back of the neck, pulling them out of the snow: "Let's go!"

The moment Bai Ze emerged from the shelter, the biting wind made him shiver. He quickly wrapped himself tightly in the animal skin blankets and climbed onto Mo's back.

The black panther pack raced through the snow, startling birds on the branches and scattering snowflakes along the way.

As time passed, Bai Ze's limbs began to stiffen, and waves of pain rose in his bones, while his body temperature dropped rapidly.

There was no sun in the sky, and everything in sight was shrouded in mist. The snow stopped for a few hours, then started falling again, swirling and dancing in the air, dazzling the eyes.

Mo could clearly feel the person on his back trembling. He slowed down uneasily, turned his head, and made a low sound in his throat.

Bai Ze did not respond.

Mo stopped and gently swayed his back.

Bai Ze tilted his head back with difficulty, his voice slightly muffled, whether from the cold wind or the stiffness in his facial muscles due to the low temperature: "W-why aren't you moving?"

Mo let out another low sob.

Having spent so much time together, Bai Ze roughly guessed what he meant, so he reached out and patted his back: "I'm fine."

Yan and the others ahead were turning their heads to look back.

Mo flicked its tail, trying to keep its back flat.

Seeing that the weather was getting worse, Si decided to have dinner in the evening, rest for a while, and then continue his journey through the night.

When Mo bent over and lay on the ground, it took Bai Ze a long time to recover before he could feel his limbs. He struggled to get up and almost slipped and fell off Mo.

White snowflakes clung to his eyelashes. Bai Ze blinked hard, and only then could his blurry vision make out a few outlines.

Due to the weather, starting a fire became difficult. The wind was strong and the firewood was wet. Several times, it looked like it was about to ignite, but it was extinguished by the snow that came flying in.

The Li people stacked the goods against the tree trunks to block some of the wind.

Mo hugged the trembling Bai Ze, buried his head in his chest, and tucked his hands into his clothes, trying to warm Bai Ze up.

Bai Ze's lips had lost all color, and his voice was broken, but he still tried his best to comfort Mo: "I'm fine..."

"We'll be there soon." Mo kissed Bai Ze's cool face, his voice unusually tight. "We'll be home soon."

Xi Hejue was also very quiet at this moment, obediently pressing against Bai Ze's leg, trying her best to share the heat of her body with him.

The fire was finally started.

Yan scooped up several piles of snow and put them into the tortoise shell. After boiling it, he quickly ladled out a bowl and handed it to Mo: "Quickly, make Bai Ze drink it."

Bai Ze was so cold that he could barely hold things. He leaned against Mo and managed to keep his eyes open.

Mo tested the temperature and brought the water to Bai Ze's lips: "Bai Ze, drink it."

Bai Ze lowered his head and obediently drank it.

As the warm water entered his stomach, his spirits gradually returned.

The fire warmed the surrounding snow. Bai Ze glanced unintentionally at the slope behind him and quickly struggled to stand up from Mo's arms.

Mo: "What's wrong?"

Bai Ze patted his arm and pointed to the red, round fruit: "That's ginseng!!!"

They've become quite eloquent.

The two walked over, and Bai Ze immediately knelt down on one knee, reached out and dug through the surface snow, panting as he carefully began to dig.

Mo frowned as he looked at Bai Ze's red hands, then grasped his arm: "I'll do it."

This is a delicate task.

Bai Ze shook his head. Not only did he disagree, but he also forbade Mo from digging randomly.

Helpless, Mo could only wait for him to finish digging before quickly stuffing his hands into his clothes to cover them.

Bai Ze felt hot during the meal, but when they continued on their journey, he became listless again.

After a short rest, we continued packing and setting off.

On a pitch-black night, Si and his group braved the wind and snow, speeding westward.

When they were still a day and a half away from the tribe, Bai Ze could clearly feel that something was wrong with his body. He was in great pain all over, his head was dizzy, and his breath was scalding hot, but he was also very cold, freezing cold.
