Becoming a Kindergarten Teacher for S-Class Spirit Beasts – CH10

Chapter 10

After returning to his room with the little black snake, Bai Nuosi placed it on the sofa. He patted his chest in relief and cautiously peeked out the window at Huo Ranchuan.

Only after confirming that Huo Ranchuan had left did he breathe a sigh of relief and draw the curtains.

Looking at the obedient little black snake coiled on the sofa, he took out his smart wristband and sent a message to Mons: [Supervisor Mons, I’m really sorry to bother you so late. Are you still awake?]

Of course Mons wasn’t asleep; how could he possibly sleep at a time like this?

At this moment, he had just finished a video call with Huo Ranchuan.

Huo Ranchuan was still standing in the garden of the residential area. He had moved a bit farther away, standing in the shadows to ensure Bai Nuosi couldn’t see him.

Wiping his sweat nervously, Mons looked around but didn’t see the Teng Snake by Huo Ranchuan’s side. He hesitated, “Commander, didn’t you retrieve the Teng Snake?”

Huo Ranchuan: “……”

Unsure of what he was thinking, Huo Ranchuan wiped his face, looking a bit uncomfortable. “I wanted to discuss that with you. The Teng Snake… let’s let it stay with Teacher Xiao Bai for now.”

Mons was puzzled. “Commander, Xiao Bai is already taking care of the black panther. If the Teng Snake stays with him, is it going to pose as a cub?”

Earlier, he had told Bai Nuosi that the black snake was also a cub from the S District but didn’t have a caregiver.

For this, he had been severely glared at by Huo Ranchuan!

If the Teng Snake were to stay with Bai Nuosi, wouldn’t that mean Bai Nuosi would have two cubs by his side?

Mons: “……”

Spiritual entities usually have immense energy and can present various issues. For example, the black panther cub’s aversion to human contact was a major problem. Mons couldn’t even assign an assistant to Bai Nuosi because the black panther would reject them.

Without an assistant, Bai Nuosi would have to care for two S-level spiritual entity cubs by himself—wouldn’t that exhaust him?

Feeling a bit guilty, Huo Ranchuan said, “The black panther is a cub; the Teng Snake isn’t. What are you worrying about?”

Mons: “……”

Scratching his head, Mons chuckled awkwardly, “Ah, right, I almost forgot.”

Huo Ranchuan: “……”

He continued, “It’s good to have the Teng Snake stay with them. Han Baiyi’s black panther spiritual entity has just formed and is still unstable. Many outsiders are trying to gather information about this S-level spiritual entity. The Han family might make a move. You need to be extra vigilant and keep a close eye on the defense system.”

Mons’s expression instantly became serious. “Understood!”

After ending the video call with Huo Ranchuan, Mons saw the messages from Bai Nuosi.

Worried that Mons might be asleep and that a call would disturb him, Bai Nuosi sent several messages.

He briefly explained the situation with the little black snake and expressed his confidence in taking good care of both cubs. He asked Supervisor Mons to make arrangements and not to let that guard take the snake baby away again.

Bai Nuosi didn’t speak ill of Huo Ranchuan. He didn’t mention how Huo Ranchuan had whistled at the black snake or how he had swung it around. He simply suggested that guards have intense daily training and lack professional early childhood education training, so having Huo Ranchuan care for the cub might not be suitable.

Therefore, Mons had no idea what had transpired between Huo Ranchuan and Bai Nuosi.

Regardless, since General Huo had already given the order, Mons certainly wouldn’t refuse Bai Nuosi’s request.

He agreed immediately and even promoted Bai Nuosi by half a rank.

Teacher Xiao Bai was already working hard taking care of one S-level cub, and now he had to look after the adult Teng Snake. Judging by Huo Ranchuan, the Teng Snake’s temperament probably wasn’t great. Mons sighed silently and decided to quietly give Bai Nuosi a raise.

After finishing his conversation with Mons, it was already very late. The little black snake’s information hadn’t been sent over yet. Bai Nuosi yawned.

He went to the bedroom to find a thin blanket, rolled it up into a long strip, and then shaped it into a circle.

Placing this soft ring on the spacious sofa, he covered it with a small cotton quilt.

Now, the little black snake had a round, soft, and warm little bed!

He gently picked up the little black snake, which was coiled into a ball on the sofa, and placed it in the small round bed.

As soon as the little black snake settled in, it nestled deeply inside. Surrounded by low walls made of soft blankets, it felt very secure and wouldn’t roll off during deep sleep.

The little black snake loved this spot. After following Huo Ranchuan for over a decade, it had never experienced such treatment!

Huo Ranchuan’s own life was messy; he was casual about everything from food to clothing to shelter. As his spiritual entity, the Teng Snake hadn’t had a single good day!

Snuggled comfortably in the warm nest, the Teng Snake enjoyed itself immensely. Bai Nuosi softly patted its back to soothe it, turned on a duck-shaped touch night light, played some very gentle music, and placed a fluffy little rabbit toy in the snake’s nest.

After doing all this, he whispered to the little black snake, “Good night, sweetheart. Sweet dreams.”

The little black snake, pretending to sleep, twitched its eyelids. It didn’t really want to sleep; it wanted to crawl out, tightly wrap around Teacher Xiao Bai, and nuzzle against him!

However, sensing its master’s anger in its consciousness, the Teng Snake obediently remained still.

Seeing the little black snake lying down obediently to sleep, Bai Nuosi finally relaxed. Thankfully, coaxing this snake baby to sleep wasn’t too difficult.

Because Huo Ranchuan had said the snake might bite, Bai Nuosi hesitated for a moment and then went to the black panther cub’s room next door.

Under the warm yellow light, the black panther cub was sleeping soundly. Bai Nuosi gently covered him with a small blanket and then lay down on the bed opposite the cub.

To facilitate caring for the cubs, the room had a bed prepared for the caregiver in addition to the baby bed.

Originally, Bai Nuosi hadn’t planned to sleep there, but he wasn’t sure if the snake baby would actually bite.

Exhausted, Bai Nuosi quickly fell asleep.

The spiritual entity Teng Snake opened its eyes. It couldn’t help itself; it wanted to see Teacher Xiao Bai. Quietly, it climbed out of its little bed.

As soon as it moved, Huo Ranchuan sensed it. Up in the middle of the night, not sleeping—what was it up to? Had it discovered something suspicious?

Huo Ranchuan was still awake. After hesitating for a few seconds, he decided to observe first. His spiritual entity never acted without reason; if it suddenly got up in the middle of the night, there must be a reason.

The Teng Snake first slithered out of its nest, cautiously approaching the bedroom door. The door was open, so it lay at the entrance, quietly peeking inside, intending just to check on Teacher Xiao Bai and the cub.

However, there was no one on the small bedroom bed.

Following the scent, the Teng Snake quickly found Bai Nuosi in the adjacent room.

As it approached the room, the black panther cub, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes and silently stood up on the bed.

The Teng Snake arrived at the doorway, its gaze coldly fixed on the black panther cub: Damn, Teacher Xiao Bai had left it to come sleep with this cub.

Han Baiyi, who was currently synchronized with his spiritual entity: “……”

After leaving the Han family, Han Baiyi didn’t know what came over him, but he synchronized with his spiritual entity, the black panther, and had fallen asleep under Teacher Xiao Bai’s soothing presence.

Now, staring at the Teng Snake at the door, his mind went blank for two seconds.

Hiss, this black snake looked familiar.

Wait, wasn’t this their Chief Instructor’s spiritual entity?

Han Baiyi sensed the spiritual power emanating from the snake. Yes, this little black snake, transformed into a cub, was indeed their Chief Instructor’s spiritual entity!

The little black panther stared at the little black snake: What was the Chief Instructor’s spiritual entity doing here?

Could it be here to steal his caregiver?

In the dark of night, neither spiritual entity dared to speak, fearing they’d wake the sleeping Bai Nuosi.

Yet, they somehow managed to communicate effortlessly through eye contact, each understanding the other’s thoughts—quite puzzling.

The little black panther immediately jumped off the bed, ran to Bai Nuosi’s bedside in a few steps, and struck a protective pose.

The little black snake: “……”

Originally, the Teng Snake hadn’t planned to do anything; it just wanted to take a look at Teacher Xiao Bai and then leave. But provoked by the little black panther, it sneered.

The Teng Snake slithered directly into the room, and in front of the black panther cub, climbed up the foot of the bed. In a few seconds, it was on the bed, its smooth tail skillfully slipping under the blanket. With a swift motion, it coiled up on Bai Nuosi’s stomach.

The black panther cub: “……”

After settling on Bai Nuosi’s blanket, the Teng Snake rested its head on his chest, just as it had when they first met.

Turning its head, its golden eyes coldly stared at the dumbfounded black panther, glaring as if to say: Go back to sleep!

Little black panther: “……”

He was stunned!!!!

The black panther cub stood by the bed, still in a defensive stance, staring in disbelief at the Teng Snake nestled in Bai Nuosi’s embrace.

He couldn’t quite grasp what was happening.

It took him several minutes to process. Swallowing hard, his round head looking a bit clueless, he gazed at the black snake and asked in a soft, immature voice, “Teng Snake, did the Chief Instructor tell you to do this?”

Otherwise, why would the snake suddenly come over and be so possessive of Teacher Xiao Bai?

Little Panther didn’t understand.

He mumbled to himself, “Could it be that the Chief Instructor and Teacher Xiao Bai are a couple? Is that why they’re sleeping together?”
