Chapter 12
Bai Nuosi had always been gentle and approachable, but suddenly becoming so stern was a bit intimidating.
However, dressed in warm yellow pajamas with slightly tousled hair, his round, bright black eyes appeared very gentle under the night light.
At this moment, the Teng Snake wanted to express some respect and awe toward the teacher, but looking at Bai Nuosi’s face, it just couldn’t manage it. Teacher Xiao Bai was really too beautiful and cute—he smelled fragrant, and felt soft and cuddly, just like a doll.
Bai Nuosi wasn’t angry because the cubs were fighting; after all, it was more common for cubs to fight than be peaceful.
One moment they might be happily playing with toys together, and the next moment they could be fighting over them.
He had been sleeping earlier, so he didn’t know why the two cubs were fighting. Apart from knowing that the little black snake had knocked the little black panther off the bed, he wasn’t clear about the other causes and effects.
Therefore, Bai Nuosi just appeared serious but still spoke gently to the little black snake: “Sweetheart, it’s not right to fight, you know? The one who gets hit feels pain. You just hit Little Brother Black Panther, so he must be hurting. Think about it—if you were the one being hit, you’d feel pain too. Do you like feeling pain?”
The little black snake frowned, staring discontentedly at the black panther cub nestled in Bai Nuosi’s arms.
Clearly, it was this little cub who started it. If the cub hadn’t suddenly pounced, it wouldn’t have instinctively fought back.
But the black panther cub felt he had a clear conscience!
Who told the Teng Snake to come in the middle of the night and try to steal Teacher Xiao Bai from him!!
If the little black snake hadn’t come in the middle of the night and coiled up on Teacher Xiao Bai to sleep, he wouldn’t have pounced!
Both cubs felt they were not at fault, so of course, neither would back down.
After saying so much, and seeing that the little black snake still showed no sign of admitting wrongdoing, Bai Nuosi’s expression grew more serious.
The little black snake was usually very well-behaved, but now it was being so stubborn. He placed the black panther cub on the bed as well and sternly said to both of them, “You two sit properly. Teacher Xiao Bai won’t wrongly accuse you, so now I’m going to check the surveillance footage.”
Black Panther: “……”
Teng Snake: “???”
Darn, just for pushing the black panther off the bed—didn’t even lose two hairs—and it’s come to checking surveillance footage?
The black panther cub immediately straightened up, sitting upright on the soft quilt, tail hanging off the bed and swaying. His two front paws were neatly placed in front of him, chin held high, glancing at the Teng Snake from the corner of his eyes.
Alright then, now your sneaky attempt to crawl into Teacher Xiao Bai’s bed in the middle of the night to steal him won’t stay hidden!
Let’s see how Teacher Xiao Bai will deal with you!
Teng Snake: “……”
The little black snake reflected on itself: What kind of madness had possessed it tonight, to argue with a newly awakened spiritual entity cub? Spiritual entity cubs are young and naive, but it was an adult. Did its IQ decrease along with its body size?
If it hadn’t argued with the little black panther or fought, then when Teacher Xiao Bai woke up, the first thing he would have seen was the little black panther bullying the little snake, and it wouldn’t have come to checking surveillance footage.
Teacher Xiao Bai would definitely be holding the little black snake, questioning the black panther!
The Teng Snake had been following Huo Ranchuan as an instructor for nearly ten years, and now, because of the provocation of a spiritual entity cub, it was being criticized by Teacher Xiao Bai after checking surveillance footage. If this got out, how could it continue to hold its head high?
The little black snake regretted it deeply, and its main body, Huo Ranchuan, not only didn’t comfort it but also laughed at it unrestrainedly in the spiritual sea. The little black snake felt even worse.
At this time, Bai Nuosi had already logged into the surveillance system, using his ID to access the monitoring of his room and the black panther cub’s room.
He adjusted the time, and soon he saw on the screen that he was sleeping soundly, then the little black snake slowly crawled in from the doorway.
As soon as the black panther heard something, he immediately jumped off the bed and made eye contact with the little black snake. A few seconds later, the black panther cub suddenly ran to Bai Nuosi’s bedside, adopting a protective stance to guard him.
When Bai Nuosi saw this, he was very touched.
The little black panther had just met him today, and he already knew to protect his teacher when encountering a strange beastman. He was truly an angel cub!
Although this strange beastman was just a snake baby.
However, when Bai Nuosi saw that the black snake was lying peacefully on him but was suddenly knocked off by the black panther cub’s sudden attack, his brows furrowed.
Looking at it this way, it was the black panther cub who made the first move.
After all, the little black snake had come over in the middle of the night, just lying on his blanket to rest, probably wanting to be closer to him. After all, cubs are often afraid to sleep alone.
Bai Nuosi looked up in surprise at the black panther cub sitting upright with his head held high and softly said, “Sweetheart, how could you bully the snake baby?”
He had almost misunderstood the little black snake.
If he hadn’t checked the surveillance to find out the truth, how wronged would the little black snake feel?
Black Panther: “???”
The black panther was shocked. He looked at Bai Nuosi, his golden eyes filled with confusion.
Teacher Xiao Bai!
Didn’t you see that snake sneaking into your bed while you were asleep?
It’s not even your cub!
I am!
The black panther cub stared at Bai Nuosi, shocked and incredulous.
The Teng Snake was also a bit stunned. It looked at Bai Nuosi, then at the black panther. Oh wow, Teacher Xiao Bai really is a good teacher. It had said it was just lying on the blanket to sleep for a while, so why did the little black panther attack it?!
So clearly, the unreasonable one was the little black panther!
The snake baby immediately darted into Bai Nuosi’s arms with a “whoosh,” deliberately mimicking the black panther cub’s earlier actions, cuddling in Bai Nuosi’s embrace.
The provocation was obvious.
Black Panther: “……”
Neither cub could speak yet. Even though their main bodies could communicate when synchronized, to avoid revealing the existence of spiritual entities, they didn’t dare speak casually in front of Bai Nuosi. So now, they had no way to apologize to each other.
Bai Nuosi held the snake in one arm and the black panther in the other, placing them both on the baby bed. He sat by the bed and reasoned with them, “From now on, Teacher will be taking care of both of you, so you’ll be living together for a long time—eating together, playing with toys together. This fight happened because you didn’t know each other when you first met, so I won’t punish you this time. But from now on, you can’t fight anymore, okay?”
The little black snake and little black panther both nodded guiltily.
The black panther was extremely displeased in his heart. He was a newly differentiated cub, but the Teng Snake wasn’t! How hateful, taking advantage of Teacher Xiao Bai shamelessly!
Bai Nuosi gave each of them a plush toy: “You are both Teacher’s little sweethearts. Teacher likes you very much. You’re so good and so wonderful; I’m sure you can avoid fighting and get along well, right?”
The little black panther nodded dejectedly again.
The little black snake was thrilled! It excitedly coiled around the plush toy, playing with it for quite a while. It had never played with toys before, so everything seemed novel.
Bai Nuosi sighed inwardly. These two cubs were still too young and couldn’t speak yet. He had said so much, but they might not have understood.
Maybe they didn’t take in a single word. What if they fought again in the middle of the night?
He hesitated for two seconds and made a decision.
He separated the little black snake and the little black panther, then lay down in the middle of the bed himself: “Sweethearts, tonight, Teacher Xiao Bai will sleep with you. Is that okay?”
