Becoming a Kindergarten Teacher for S-Class Spirit Beasts – CH11

Chapter 11

Through his spiritual connection, Huo Ranchuan overheard the little black panther cub’s words and suddenly found his expression turning peculiar.

It’s often said that synchronizing with a juvenile spiritual entity can lower one’s IQ. Judging by Han Baiyi’s thoughts, that seemed to be true.

A couple? Impossible. He had only met Teacher Xiao Bai today. The reason he sent the Teng Snake over was merely because he was uneasy about Teacher Xiao Bai being around an S-level spiritual entity and wanted to check things out.

The little black panther cub grew anxious when the little black snake didn’t respond.

He looked at the sleeping Bai Nuosi and tried hard to think with his little brain. Teacher Xiao Bai was a new employee at the Rose Nursery and had previously lived in the distant Blackbird Galaxy.

So, it was unlikely that he was Instructor Huo’s partner.

If not, then why was the instructor, who was connected with the Teng Snake, lying in Teacher Xiao Bai’s arms?

As he pondered this, he even forgot that he not only liked snuggling in Teacher Xiao Bai’s embrace but had also let him bathe him.

The little black panther tilted his head, eyes filled with confusion, staring intently at the Teng Snake resting on Teacher Xiao Bai’s chest.

The Teng Snake grew increasingly irritated under his gaze. Initially, it had planned to leave, but this little cub showed no intention of going back to sleep.

It seemed the little black panther didn’t know that Teacher Xiao Bai had taken in the Teng Snake, so he was questioning its presence.

The little black snake thought further: This cub is deliberately clinging to Bai Nuosi. Could it be that he’s taking advantage of Bai Nuosi’s lack of combat ability and gentle nature to stay with him, planning to slip away when Bai Nuosi isn’t paying attention?

The Teng Snake slightly raised its head, its golden slit eyes narrowing as it dangerously stared at the black panther cub crouching by the bedside.

The little black panther was familiar with the instructor’s gaze and spiritual energy. During those two months of freshman military training, they had often been disciplined by Instructor Huo.

The black panther cub immediately perked up his small ears, standing alertly and taking two cautious steps back.

However, he was also a bit worried about Teacher Xiao Bai, so he didn’t leave.

So why was Instructor Huo lying on Teacher Xiao Bai?

And seeing the Teng Snake transformed into a juvenile form—was it here to steal his caregiver?

That was absolutely unacceptable! He had finally found such a gentle, patient caregiver who loved to praise him!

The little black panther’s expression changed. He suddenly sprinted a few steps and leaped onto the bed.

Teng Snake: “……”

The Teng Snake stared incredulously at the black panther: Is he crazy?

The little black panther glared at the Teng Snake, then pounced fiercely. With a swift movement, he knocked the Teng Snake, who was lying on Bai Nuosi’s blanket, off to the corner of the bed.

Teng Snake: “????”

You bratty cub! Just because you’ve recently differentiated and haven’t fully evolved, do you think you can act fearlessly like a newborn calf?

Even here at the Rose Nursery, it was still the chief instructor of the freshmen, the spiritual entity of General Huo Ranchuan of the military district. If this little cub treated it this way, it was going to cause a scene!

The Teng Snake hadn’t been attacked so inexplicably in a long time.

Although Huo Ranchuan warned it in the spiritual sea not to cause trouble.

But the Teng Snake reacted instantly. As it was knocked over, its tail whipped around with a “swish,” and with a “smack,” it slapped the black panther cub on the forehead. The cub let out an “ow,” flipped over, and rolled off the bed.

The Teng Snake lay in Bai Nuosi’s arms, leaning over to look down, its eyes filled with contempt and mockery: What a weak little panther.

Black panther cub: “……”

Ugh, the Teng Snake was really bullying him too much!

The little black panther, still in the form of a two- or three-month-old cub—short, plump, and round—was flipped onto the floor, legs up. Furious, he widened his eyes, his short limbs flailing in the air as he tried hard to get up.

At this moment, the Teng Snake, proudly lying on the bed, suddenly felt its tail being grabbed. Bai Nuosi’s hair was a bit messy; he rubbed his sleepy eyes, with faint dark circles beneath them.

He was used to caring for young cubs and had a biological clock that woke him once at midnight and again around two or three in the morning to check on them.

Although the two spiritual entities hadn’t made much noise while fighting, Bai Nuosi still woke up, startling both of them!

His expression was a mix of surprise and helplessness. He picked up the Teng Snake by its tail and placed it on the inner side of the bed. Then he quickly lifted the blanket and got out of bed, tenderly scooping up the black panther cub, whose limbs were still flailing in the air. “Oh dear, sweetheart, are you okay? Does anything hurt?”

He held the black panther cub in his arms, gently stroking his back with his right hand. “There, there, it’s okay now. Teacher’s got you.”

The Teng Snake, placed at the corner of the bed: “……”

The black panther cub was still a bit dazed. Being held in Bai Nuosi’s arms, he breathed in Teacher Xiao Bai’s fresh scent and sighed comfortably.

The Teng Snake, feeling provoked: “???”

I merely coiled on Teacher Xiao Bai’s blanket, and that was too much. Now you’re snuggling in his arms, nuzzling and cuddling, and that’s acceptable?!

The Teng Snake was utterly baffled by the little black panther’s audacity.

After comforting the black panther cub for a while, Bai Nuosi softly asked, “Does anything hurt, sweetheart? Do you need Teacher to kiss it better?”

Being an honest child, the black panther cub shyly shook his head, indicating he wasn’t hurt.

Only then did Bai Nuosi relax.

He was a light sleeper by nature; caring for cubs required keen senses. He would wake up at the slightest disturbance at night.

Tonight, he had slept more soundly than usual, which was why he hadn’t noticed the little black snake sneaking in earlier.

When he opened his eyes, he had seen the scene of the little black snake hitting the black panther with its tail, which had startled him.

Feeling a bit remorseful, he said, “I’m sorry, sweetheart. Teacher slept too deeply and didn’t realize you two were fighting.”

The two spiritual entities, seeing Teacher Xiao Bai blaming himself, felt a bit guilty. Actually, it wasn’t his fault; he was already very responsible.

If anyone was to blame, it was Instructor Huo Ranchuan!

It was all his fault—why did he let his spiritual entity come in, synchronize, and even crawl into Teacher Xiao Bai’s bed?

The black panther cub glared fiercely, looking as if he wanted to complain.

Holding the black panther cub in his arms, Bai Nuosi glanced at the clock on the wall—it was already past two in the morning.

He sat by the bed, his expression serious as he looked at the little black snake lying in the corner.

Teng Snake: “……”

Under his stern gaze, the Teng Snake felt a bit guilty. Its once proudly raised neck lowered more and more. But Huo Ranchuan wasn’t someone who would easily admit fault, so the Teng Snake perfectly mirrored his personality.

Realizing it was acting submissive to Bai Nuosi, the Teng Snake suddenly raised its head defiantly.

It hadn’t done anything wrong; why should it feel guilty?

In his consciousness, Huo Ranchuan cursed the Teng Snake for being a troublemaker—it deserved this.

If he were Teacher Xiao Bai, he would have punished it severely and tossed it out the window.

The Teng Snake, feeling wronged: “……”

If it could speak, it really wanted to tell its master: It’s precisely because you’re not Teacher Xiao Bai that I don’t listen!

Hmph.

An adult spiritual entity thrives on rebellion.

Bai Nuosi pressed his lips together and said sternly, “Sweetheart, why did you bully the little black panther?”

Calling both of them “sweetheart” was confusing, but since Bai Nuosi didn’t yet know the black snake’s name, he could only distinguish them this way.

However, to the Teng Snake’s ears, this was a different matter entirely!

The snake baby was a bit upset, thinking, Before going to sleep, Teacher Xiao Bai called me ‘little sweetheart.’ After one nap, that term is being used for someone else!
