Becoming a Kindergarten Teacher for S-Class Spirit Beasts – CH4

Chapter 4

After hanging up the phone, Bai Nuosi sat down on the sofa. The little black panther cub’s gaze followed his movements, always fixated on him.

A soft warmth filled Bai Nuosi’s heart. He reached out and held the panther cub in his arms, gently stroking its head to soothe it. “Sweetheart, are you hungry? Let’s have some food now, and once you’re full, you can go to sleep.”

Han Baiyi: “……”

Han Baiyi quietly nestled in Bai Nuosi’s arms, watching as Bai Nuosi held a bowl of steamed egg custard in one hand and a spoon in the other, seemingly about to feed him.

Han Baiyi felt a bit nervous. So this is how cubs are treated? It might not be quite appropriate for a spiritual entity cub, but for an adult male college student, it’s just perfect!

Bai Nuosi scooped up a spoonful of egg custard and brought it to the panther cub’s mouth. “Sweetheart, open wide~”

Han Baiyi: “……”

Silently, Han Baiyi opened his mouth and ate the spoonful of egg custard.

Although the egg custard was topped with diced vegetables and meat, because cubs’ food needed to be low in oil and salt, Bai Nuosi had only added a tiny amount of salt and certainly hadn’t used soy sauce or other seasonings, so the taste was very light.

But the texture of the egg custard was excellent—smooth, tender, and fragrant. It tasted better than any food Han Baiyi had ever eaten in that household.

One spoonful after another, Han Baiyi didn’t even need coaxing from Bai Nuosi, and before long, he had finished the entire bowl of egg custard.

Bai Nuosi said with concern, “It seems our sweetheart was really starving. Let’s have some meat too.”

Before long, a bowl of fresh beef was also polished off.

Bai Nuosi happily praised him, “Sweetheart, you’re amazing! You finished all your food; no leftovers, not picky, and you ate it all by yourself. So capable!”

Han Baiyi: “……”

Teacher Xiao Bai sure has a lot of these catchy phrases!

To be honest, in just this short time with Bai Nuosi, he had received more compliments than he had heard in the past ten years.

Bai Nuosi took a tissue to wipe the panther cub’s mouth, then looked at its belly with some concern. “Why is your tummy still flat? Are you not full yet?”

Han Baiyi thought to himself, with just these two small bowls, it’s only enough to fill my stomach a bit; it’s definitely not enough to be truly full.

Although spiritual entities are cubs, because they evolve once every month or so, their consumption of spiritual energy is significant, so their food intake is also large. But missing one or two meals isn’t a big deal; previously, the little black panther hadn’t been eating at all.

However, the evolution cycles differ depending on the genes of different beasts. Some spiritual entities complete their evolution in a month, consuming massive amounts of spiritual energy, so their food intake is correspondingly larger.

Some spiritual entities have an evolution cycle of two months, but generally, it doesn’t exceed three months.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, the spiritual entity of the Empire’s Central District Commander-in-Chief Huo Ranchuan—the Teng Snake—has an evolution cycle as long as half a year. Even after complete evolution, it still sheds its skin two or three times a month, and with each shedding, its size increases a bit, and its spiritual power also improves.

People privately speculated that Huo Ranchuan’s spiritual power was far beyond S-level. Others reach S-level because they can only reach S, but for him, it’s because the highest measurement standard is only S.

Holding the panther cub, Bai Nuosi gently stroked its head and softly said, “Teacher Xiao Bai hasn’t officially started yet, so I don’t know how to take care of a panther cub. I can’t give you any more food now. When Supervisor Mons and the others come, they’ll take care of you.”

As soon as Han Baiyi heard the name Mons, his expression changed instantly.

Only now did he remember that Mons had called him, asking him to synchronize with his spiritual entity and then bring it back.

But as soon as he arrived, he became immersed in Teacher Xiao Bai’s stunning looks and gentle approach, completely captivated, his mind empty…

Moreover, Teacher Xiao Bai praised him with almost every sentence—who wouldn’t be a bit dazed?

Han Baiyi’s expression became serious. Before he could figure out what to do, the keen senses of his spiritual entity heard footsteps approaching from a distance.

It seemed that Mons and the others were coming.

Han Baiyi didn’t know how to explain to Mons; he felt somewhat guilty. After all, it seemed to have been more than an hour since he finished his call with Mons.

He didn’t know if Mons was angry after waiting for him so long.

Whatever, let’s pretend I was never here!

Han Baiyi quietly glanced at Bai Nuosi. “It’s okay; Teacher Xiao Bai isn’t going anywhere. I’ll come back after this is over”.

Hearing the footsteps already entering the small garden, Han Baiyi terminated the synchronization link.

In an instant, Bai Nuosi noticed a change in the panther cub’s demeanor in his arms.

For some reason, the panther cub suddenly became more clingy and affectionate.

It sniffed around Bai Nuosi’s body, inhaling the scent that made it feel at ease. Then it burrowed into his arms, its two front paws gently scratching at his arms. Even its long tail wanted to wrap around his arm. Seeing it like this, Bai Nuosi wondered if it was about to start wagging its tail.

Sensing the panther cub’s change, Bai Nuosi felt that something was off. Just then, Mons’s voice sounded from outside the door: “Xiao Bai, are you home?”

At the sound of Mons’s voice, the panther cub trembled all over and immediately burrowed deeper into Bai Nuosi’s arms, as if very afraid to see Mons.

Perhaps it’s not just Mons; is the panther cub afraid of strangers? But it didn’t know Bai Nuosi before either.

Bai Nuosi hesitated as he looked at the panther cub in his arms. After a few seconds of consideration, he decided to hold the panther cub and go out.

His door wasn’t closed, but Mons, Huo Ranchuan, and the others were all standing in the small garden and didn’t enter. Bai Nuosi was touched by their sense of propriety.

He walked out, and the first thing he noticed wasn’t Mons but another tall man with a strong presence.

The man wore a dark green military uniform. His tall figure was half-hidden in the shadows of the garden. When Bai Nuosi came out, he could see half of the man’s face illuminated by the light.

The man’s white hair was cut very short. He had deep-set eyes and sharp features. His golden eyes gazed deeply, like a lurking venomous snake in the darkness.

At first glance, Bai Nuosi was startled by that gaze. For a moment, he seemed to see a pair of vertical golden pupils.

But soon, the man’s imposing aura retracted. He looked at Bai Nuosi thoughtfully.

Being stared at so intently, Bai Nuosi became very nervous. He tightened his hold on the panther cub, and his steps slowed.

This man’s presence was too intimidating. Bai Nuosi had been here for a month and had never seen this man before. Judging by his military uniform, was he a member of the guard team here?

But the team members he usually met were all friendly and easy to get along with…

Huo Ranchuan was also observing Bai Nuosi.

This young caregiver from the distant Blackbird Star System, an Omega, indeed looked very cute and soft. His black hair was soft and fluffy, his black eyes bright, his skin fair as snow, and his features delicate and beautiful.

Omegas generally had relatively slender builds, but Huo Ranchuan had never seen such a good-looking Omega before.

Someone this beautiful should logically be married to a quality Alpha on his planet. But not only was he not, he had come all the way to the distant Beastman Planet to become an early childhood educator?

No matter how he thought about it, it didn’t seem normal. After all, affected by pheromones and heat cycles, Omegas generally wouldn’t leave their planets easily.

So why did this Teacher Xiao Bai leave his planet and come here? On the way over, Huo Ranchuan had already read his file. Just from the data, there were no doubts; it was even very simple.

Huo Ranchuan stared at Bai Nuosi’s face for a long time without speaking.

Mons glanced at Huo Ranchuan and saw that he was staring at Bai Nuosi with a serious expression. He became extremely nervous and didn’t dare to speak without permission.

After a few seconds, Mons looked at Huo Ranchuan again and found that General Huo was still sizing up Bai Nuosi. After a few more seconds, Huo Ranchuan glanced at Mons but showed no intention of speaking.

Mons: “……”

Mons understood and quickly stepped forward with a smile. “Xiao Bai, you…”

He had just started speaking when the panther cub in Bai Nuosi’s arms seemed to be frightened. It suddenly leaped out of his arms, and with a “whoosh,” darted back into Bai Nuosi’s home, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Mons: “……”

Bai Nuosi: “……”

Before Bai Nuosi could react, when he turned back, the panther cub had already rushed into his bathroom, probably finding a place to hide.

Bai Nuosi looked suspiciously at Mons. Generally, if a little one is shy with strangers, the behavior is mainly reflected in not liking to be held by unfamiliar people or other close actions. But to tremble at the sound of a voice and hide—that’s rare.

Could it be… Did Mons bully this panther cub?

Under Bai Nuosi’s suspicious gaze, Mons instinctively straightened his back and quickly said, “No, Xiao Bai, it’s not what you think!”

Bai Nuosi: “……”

Bai Nuosi hesitantly asked, “Supervisor Mons, why is the panther baby so afraid of you?”

Mons sighed, “Xiao Bai, the panther isn’t afraid of me; he’s afraid of everyone here.”

“Except,” Mons added, “you.”

This matter was indeed strange, but there was no denying that Bai Nuosi had been a great help.

Mons said to Bai Nuosi, “It’s just as well; you’re officially starting tomorrow. How about we officially assign this panther cub to your care? At that time, your level will also be promoted from junior to intermediate.”

Caregivers in the Rose Nursery were divided into three levels. As a junior caregiver, one didn’t have to interact directly with the cubs. They usually assisted intermediate or senior caregivers in taking care of the little ones.

But now, the panther cub only trusted Bai Nuosi. Whenever other caregivers appeared, the panther would run around hiding, leaving Mons utterly exhausted.

He knew that S-level spiritual entities could have various issues, but he didn’t expect the problems to be so tricky.

Of course, Bai Nuosi accepted the work arrangement and nodded. “Okay, Supervisor. Is there anything I need to be aware of?”

Mons glanced at Huo Ranchuan and found that General Huo was still staring thoughtfully at Bai Nuosi. Probably suspecting Teacher Xiao Bai. Not to mention Huo Ranchuan, even Mons was a bit worried. Why did the little black panther reject everyone but not Teacher Xiao Bai?

On the way over, the Commander had even suspected whether Bai Nuosi had used some special means to attract the spiritual entity. Could he have some suspicions?

Mons didn’t dare to say or ask anything. Seeing that General Huo had no objections to his arrangement, he pulled Bai Nuosi aside, opened his smart wristband, and sent Bai Nuosi the personal information of Han Baiyi, which had been modified.

At the same time, he explained some precautions to Bai Nuosi.

During this process, Huo Ranchuan’s gaze occasionally rested on Bai Nuosi. Bai Nuosi felt a bit nervous, always worrying if he had done something wrong.

Otherwise, why did that officer keep looking at him with such a suspicious gaze?
