Becoming a Kindergarten Teacher for S-Class Spirit Beasts – CH35

Chapter 35

To better explain to Bai Nuosi, Sajinna described the mental energy booster as a specialized nutrient solution for juvenile beastmen.

Sajinna: “This nutrient solution is mainly given to underage cubs to supplement any nutrients they might lack during their growth. In simpler terms, it means that the cubs can grow stronger by consuming this.”

Bai Nuosi, holding Teng Snake, stood at the door of the ward, frowning: “But the little black panther and little black snake didn’t consume it, so this thing isn’t actually necessary, right?”

Sajinna thought that generally, once people differentiated and got their spiritual bodies, they wouldn’t want to drink this stuff since the taste wasn’t great. However, those who hadn’t differentiated might have to drink it regardless of their willingness because the plant had a boosting effect on mental energy.

Who wouldn’t want to eventually differentiate into an A-class spiritual body?

Although it was just a boost and the effects varied from person to person, this booster was still very popular.

However, since Chu Jiangting had successfully differentiated, it really didn’t matter whether he consumed it or not, and he even let his spiritual body, the panda, accompany him while eating.

Bai Nuosi then asked Mons, who was standing nearby: “Why did the panda cub come to the nursery with a storage terminal?”

He noticed that neither the little black panther nor the little black snake had brought one, and considering how small the cub was, shouldn’t the contents of the storage terminal be checked? Or should the cub’s daily necessities be reported to the caretaker?

However, the information Bai Nuosi received regarding the panda cub didn’t mention any nutrient solutions at all.

Mons sighed, feeling helpless because these things were all personally brought to the panda cub by Chu Jiangting.

Moreover, Chu Jiangting had also mentioned that the panda cub would frequently drink nutrient solutions and mental energy boosters.

Mons thought these were minor issues, especially since he had consumed a lot of similar things when he was a child.

Who would have guessed that the panda cub would be allergic?

At that moment, Huo Ranchuan hurriedly arrived.

Before implementing the cub protection initiative, Huo Ranchuan anticipated that the nursery would face many problems, such as external pressure, guiding public opinion, family members of the spiritual cubs causing disturbances, and his subordinates being unskilled at caring for the cubs, leading to chaos in the nursery…

However, he truly didn’t expect that the anticipated problems hadn’t occurred yet, but the spiritual cubs were all difficult to manage, each with their own issues.

He had just managed to resolve matters concerning Han Baiyi and the Han family, and thanks to Teacher Bai, public discussions about the nursery had become increasingly positive. Han Baiyi had also officially distanced himself from the Han family and was applying to join his military fraction.

Yet, after all this, the second S-class cub he had been eagerly waiting for not only snuck drinks of the mental energy booster but also ended up hospitalized due to an allergy!

These cubs were truly a handful.

Huo Ranchuan was still dressed in formal military attire, followed by his aide. He saw Teacher Bai, looking haggard and worried, standing there with Teng Snake in his arms, talking to Mons.

Huo Ranchuan suddenly felt a twinge of regret; he should have assigned the panda to another caretaker. At the very least, he should have let Teacher Bai rest for a while, considering he had already been very exhausted while taking care of the little black panther.

Sajinna was surprised to see Huo Ranchuan arrive.

Although S-class cubs were rare, it wasn’t yet necessary for Huo Ranchuan to personally intervene. Seeing the hurried footsteps and his golden eyes intentionally or unintentionally fixed on Teacher Bai, Sajinna adjusted her glasses, thinking that the normally stoic General Huo was finally showing some emotion.

Huo Ranchuan walked straight up to Bai Nuosi, and upon seeing Bai Nuosi’s pale and exhausted appearance, he felt uncomfortable. He spoke gently: “Mons and Sajinna will be here tonight to look after the panda cub. You should go back and rest.”

Teacher Bai hadn’t been getting enough rest lately. After all, the little black panther had been a handful, and when it fainted during its evolution, it was Bai Nuosi who had accompanied it. Teacher Bai was indeed too tired.

Mons immediately added: “That’s right, Teacher Bai. I’ll keep a good watch on the panda cub tonight. You don’t need to worry. Just go back and rest; I want you to cook for the panda cub tomorrow.”

The panda cub had already been in the nursery for twenty-four hours, and apart from the nutrient solution and a few slices of sour cucumber that Bai Nuosi had fed it, along with a bowl of honey milk, it hadn’t eaten anything else.

Mons suspected that the panda was anorexic, but the panda’s main body, Chu Jiangting, outright denied it.

Mons felt that Chu Jiangting was hiding something, but without being told, he had no way to pry.

Bai Nuosi shook his head, looking at Huo Ranchuan: “Thank you, Director, but I don’t need to go back to rest. I can rest here;”

Seeing the disapproval in Huo Ranchuan’s eyes, Bai Nuosi patiently explained: “I’m responsible for the panda cub. I am its caretaker, so I must be by its side at all times. Director, the cubs may seem easy to get along with, but they won’t trust just anyone easily. If they are sick or in need of help, and they turn around to find I’m not there, they may never be close to me again.”

Although the Rose Nursery didn’t require caretakers to do this, Bai Nuosi had his own principles. Since he had taken full responsibility for the panda cub, he was more than just a caretaker; he was also the panda cub’s guardian.

A qualified guardian would never leave their child alone to go home and sleep when the child was sick and hospitalized.

Bai Nuosi hoped to provide comprehensive love to all the cubs in the full-care program. Any little thing he didn’t participate in might be a loss in the cubs’ growth.

Looking at Teacher Bai’s determined gaze, Huo Ranchuan remained silent for a long time.

He had to admit, every time Bai Nuosi spoke to him about how to interact with the cubs, he was left speechless.

What Teacher Bai said, he also did; he was indeed an excellent caretaker.

Huo Ranchuan looked at Teng Snake, who was relying on Bai Nuosi, and finally said, “If anything happens, remember to contact me directly.”

As the director, Huo Ranchuan’s contact information was recorded in the internal staff directory of the Rose Nursery, and Bai Nuosi could easily find it.

Bai Nuosi nodded, smiling slightly: “Alright, Director.”

Only then did Huo Ranchuan enter the nursery, glancing at the panda before Sajinna quietly reported the situation to him: “Chu Jiangting has likely been drinking the booster all along. He probably knew he was allergic but didn’t stop, even giving it to his spiritual body. I don’t know what he’s thinking.”

Before coming, Huo Ranchuan had reviewed Chu Jiangting’s personal data and training videos. Chu Jiangting was very dedicated; he was truly a top performer.

In his life philosophy, as long as you didn’t die from training, you should train as hard as possible.

Drinking this mental energy booster was likely the same mindset—just a slight allergy; as long as it wouldn’t kill him, he would continue drinking it. If it was useful for his mental energy, then the allergy symptoms were something he could endure.

Huo Ranchuan turned to find his aide: “Go to the dormitory and confiscate all of Chu Jiangting’s mental energy boosters.”

The aide immediately nodded and strode out.

Once the aide left, Sajinna looked seriously at Huo Ranchuan and said, “General, I detected instability in the golden eagle’s mental energy yesterday. It may not be long before it experiences a mental energy riot. Do you think we should transfer it to another location?”

Sajinna did not agree with keeping the golden eagle near the Rose Nursery, but now, only Huo Ranchuan could suppress it. Moreover, with such a high combat capability spiritual body that had lost control of its main body, if it lost Huo Ranchuan’s protection, it would only face annihilation from the empire.

When it came to the golden eagle, Huo Ranchuan’s expression turned cold.

The golden eagle was the spiritual body of the former mech team member, Chen Min, named Ares, which means “God of War.”

When Huo Ranchuan and Chen Min were younger, the imperial star systems were not as peaceful as they are now. As ambitious youths, they once dreamed of saving the world.

Chen Min named his still undeveloped spiritual body Ares, and at that time, he could never have imagined that one day he would be unable to suppress his violent spiritual body due to severe physical injuries.

Now, the bloodthirsty golden eagle Ares was unwilling to return to Chen Min’s spiritual sea and, with each incident of its violent outburst, caused further stimulation and harm to Chen Min’s spiritual sea.

Sajinna knew that Huo Ranchuan couldn’t transfer the golden eagle elsewhere; the places available for it to reside were already limited.

Sajinna sighed: “General, please be sure to stay at the Rose Nursery in the coming days.”

Huo Ranchuan stood at the doorway, looking through the glass at Bai Nuosi in the hallway, who was holding Teng Snake. After a long moment, he finally said softly, “I will.”

The cub protection initiative was his responsibility, and the Rose Nursery was something he insisted on establishing. The caretakers working in these nurseries were also those he advocated to bring in from other star systems, along with the hundreds of spiritual cubs…

If an accident really occurred, even at the cost of his own life, Huo Ranchuan would not allow anyone to get hurt.

Huo Ranchuan left through another door, not going to speak to Bai Nuosi.

After Sajinna came out, Bai Nuosi was surprised and asked, “Doctor, has the director already left?”

Sajinna looked at Bai Nuosi and said meaningfully, “Yes, Teacher Bai needs to guard your baby, and the director also has to protect the most important person beside him.”

Sajinna’s words had a double meaning.

Huo Ranchuan needed to protect his brothers and comrades, his subordinates, and the cubs, and he also had to protect his late-blooming romance.

However, Sajinna suddenly muttered to herself, “Hiss, can imperial officers marry aliens? There seems to be a rule against it…”

Sajinna always spoke oddly to herself, and Bai Nuosi had long since gotten used to it. He watched Sajinna leave and then gently closed the door.

He carried the little black snake into the ward and softly said, “Baby, tonight we’re going to stay here with Qiu Qiu to sleep. Now that we’re in a new environment, are you going to be scared? Don’t be afraid; tonight, I’ll hold you while you sleep.”

Teng Snake was not scared at all, but Teacher Bai said he would hold him while sleeping!

Teng Snake immediately lay on Bai Nuosi’s shoulder and affectionately rubbed its face against Teacher Bai.

Teacher Bai was really nice; he super~ loved Teacher Bai!

It was just a pity that he wasn’t a real cub, and he didn’t know whether Teacher Bai would be mad at him when he found out the truth.

Suddenly, the carefree Teng Snake became sentimental.

What should he do? Would acting cute and being charming work?

Teacher Bai couldn’t just stop calling him baby and stop giving him sweet milk to drink just because he wasn’t a real cub, could he?

Thinking of this, Teng Snake immediately wilted. If he no longer had Teacher Bai calling him baby, coaxing him to sleep, telling him stories, and giving him delicious, rich milk to drink, he would faint!

Bai Nuosi felt that the snake baby was particularly well-behaved and clingy today, thinking it was probably because he wasn’t used to the new environment.

The panda cub lay on the spacious, soft hospital bed, its eyes slightly squinting. It was evident that it wasn’t asleep, but its spirit wasn’t very good; it lay there without moving for quite a while.

Only when Bai Nuosi walked up to it did it finally turn over, rolling its round little belly a few times as it did so.

However, Bai Nuosi was startled: “Qiu Qiu? What happened to you…”

Bai Nuosi reached out, pointing at the panda cub’s round belly. After several seconds, he finally spoke, “What’s happened to you…”

He paused again, worried about scaring the panda cub. After much deliberation, he cautiously asked, “Are you starting to shed your fur?”

The panda cub: “…”

As if prompted by Bai Nuosi, the panda cub reacted. It suddenly sat up and lowered its head to look at its round belly.

It saw that many of the fluffy white hairs on its belly had fallen out, leaving patches missing, almost like bald spots!

So ugly!

The panda let out a cry of despair and suddenly stood up from the bed, its round black eyes wide in shock as it stared at the white bedsheet.

It hadn’t noticed it before, but now, with Teacher Bai mentioning it, it realized, ahhhh, its fur was falling out!

The panda screamed frantically, jumping up and down in the room, completely losing its composure.

Bai Nuosi: “…”

Teng Snake: “…”

In other words, no one had ever imagined that the round panda could move so quickly.

The panda cub went crazy. When Chu Jiangting returned to the dormitory in the middle of the night, he found that his mental energy boosters had been forcibly confiscated by the instructors.

Chu Jiangting didn’t resist. In fact, he had experienced allergic reactions over the years, and he was also clearly aware that his sense of taste was deteriorating.

He was somewhat hesitant; having already evolved to S-class, was there still a need for these boosters?

As he was caught in this internal struggle, the sound of the panda’s spiritual body crying out like a pig being slaughtered echoed in his spiritual sea.

The noise made Chu Jiangting’s spiritual sea churn. After a bout of dizziness, he finally managed to connect with the panda cub, sharing the experience to investigate what was happening.

The panda cub had quieted down. It was dejectedly crouching in the corner of the room, looking at its limbs and the bald patches on its belly, tears streaming down its face.

Chu Jiangting: “…”

Seeing the surprised and pained expression on Teacher Bai’s face, Chu Jiangting almost turned around and left on the spot.

Teacher Bai placed Teng Snake in the corner of the bed, then picked up the furniture that had been knocked over by the panda cub and, seeing that the panda cub’s emotions had stabilized a bit, he didn’t approach it immediately. Instead, he took out baby formula and honey from his storage, along with the panda cub’s bowl and the snake baby’s bottle.

As Bai Nuosi prepared the milk, the panda cub, who had been softly crying, turned its head to look. Bai Nuosi thought it might get up immediately and come over to drink from its bowl.

However, the panda cub surprisingly resisted the temptation of the honey milk. It quickly turned back and used its little paws to wipe away its tears.

It looked both aggrieved and sad, making one’s heart ache.

Bai Nuosi finished making the milk and let the little snake curl up on the blanket by the bed to drink. He placed the bowl of milk on a small table outside the bed, then stood up and walked in front of the panda cub, squatting down, “Qiu Qiu, don’t cry anymore. How about a hug from your teacher?”

Chu Jiangting, who had already shared feelings with the panda, felt a bit embarrassed and didn’t move.

However, he couldn’t stop the tears from flowing because his spiritual entity was genuinely very sad, and coupled with his own bad mood, he ended up crying even more.

Chu Jiangting thought to himself that it was his spiritual entity crying, not him, so it wasn’t really embarrassing.

Bai Nuosi took out a handkerchief to wipe the panda cub’s tears, then hugged it gently, comforting it, “Don’t cry, Qiu Qiu. Your fur is falling out because of an allergy. In a few days, when you feel better, your fur will come back.”

“Come on, let’s sit on the bed together and cuddle. When will the fur come back?”

The panda cub, who had been whimpering, suddenly stopped. It looked tearfully at the fur on the bed, wiping its eyes with its little paws, still sniffling.

It listened as Bai Nuosi softly said, “Oh, so that’s how it is? Qiu Qiu, the furs said they left because you’re growing up, just like the fruit on trees, which falls when it ripens. But new fur will be coming soon!”

Bai Nuosi pointed at the bald patch on the panda cub, saying, “Just like here, see? This is called a hair follicle, which is the home of the fur. They are sleeping now, and when they wake up, they will open the door and come out to play with you.”

The panda cub had already shared feelings with Chu Jiangting. It could speak now, and even though Chu Jiangting wasn’t dominating its consciousness, the panda cub still controlled its own body. Upon hearing Bai Nuosi’s words, it believed him and vigorously shook its head at the bald patch on its belly, waving its little paws: “No, no, no, not sleeping!”

The panda cub looked up with watery eyes at Bai Nuosi and cried, “Don’t sleep! They’ll wake up!”

Bai Nuosi: “…”

He fell silent for two seconds, then suddenly brought over the bowl of milk and softly said, “But if the fur don’t sleep, they will want to drink the sweet milk. So, Qiu Qiu, can you give your bowl of milk to the fur babies?”

The panda cub: “…”

The panda’s crying abruptly stopped. It stared wide-eyed at Bai Nuosi, incredulous.

Clearly, it hadn’t expected that the fur would also want to drink from the bowl!

This was its bowl of milk!

No one was allowed to take it!

The panda cub dove into the bowl, slurping up several big mouthfuls, with milk smeared all over its face.

Its little paws waved frantically: “Tons tons tons… Fur babies, sleep, no milk.”

The panda cub tightly grasped both sides of the bowl, shouting loudly at the fur that had fallen on the bed: This is mine! Not for you!

Bai Nuosi: “…”

Chu Jiangting: “…”
