Becoming a Kindergarten Teacher for S-Class Spirit Beasts – CH49

Chapter 49

The golden eagle kept staring at Bai Nuosi, making him a little nervous.

Huo Ranchuan, feeling exasperated at the eagle’s odd behavior, turned to Bai Nuosi and said, “Let’s go.”

Bai Nuosi nodded, but before leaving, he glanced back at the golden eagle again, and the eagle’s gaze followed his every step, as if it didn’t want him to leave.

If it were a young cub staring at Bai Nuosi like that, he might have felt compelled to go back. But this golden eagle wasn’t a cub—it was an adult, and an unstable one at that.

The danger was high, so Bai Nuosi quickly left. As soon as the door closed, the golden eagle, which had calmed down earlier, started feeling agitated again.

The little cutie wasn’t here, and it was restless, wanting to see him. But since it was locked up, it was impossible to go find him.

It couldn’t go anywhere, and that was irritating!

Besides, it hadn’t even built a nest yet! If it captured the little cutie, there would be nowhere to hide him.

Feeling the urge to lash out, the golden eagle looked down at the food placed near the cage. It quietly stared at the fruit and vegetable soup that Bai Nuosi had brought for a long time.

In the end, the golden eagle stood up and walked over, squatting by the cage to eat the fruit. These fruits were personally cut by the little cutie!

He actually cut the fruit himself for it to eat!

Thinking back, it had never eaten such carefully cut fruit in its life. The little cutie really cared about it.

As the golden eagle ate, the frustration it had felt earlier started to dissipate.

The tableware and food carried the little cutie’s scent, and as it ate, it could faintly smell the light fragrance from the little cutie’s body. It really liked this scent. After finishing all the food, the golden eagle stayed by the tableware and rested with its eyes closed, unwilling to leave.

Tomorrow, the little cutie would definitely come in to collect the dishes, and then it would see him again. Just thinking about it made the golden eagle happy.

Meanwhile, after Huo Ranchuan led Bai Nuosi out of the room, the panda cub was already sprawled on the table, having eaten nearly ten sour bamboo shoot buns.

The Teng Snake, now awake, was also feeling ravenous due to the combined exhaustion of both mental and physical energy. It coiled on the table, chugged down a bottle of milk, and then started eating buns alongside the panda cub.

As Bai Nuosi came out and saw the Teng Snake eating buns, he hesitated before asking Huo Ranchuan, “Director Huo, your friend isn’t in the best mental state right now, and taking care of him must be exhausting for you. Why don’t I take the snake baby back to care for it?”

He also remembered that Huo Ranchuan had injured his back, so besides taking care of his friend, he had to look after himself as well.

Although Huo Ranchuan didn’t show it, Bai Nuosi still felt uneasy.

Huo Ranchuan wasn’t going to let the Teng Snake go back for the next couple of days, not until its wounds were fully healed.

After hesitating for a couple of seconds, Huo Ranchuan gently said, “In a few days, I’ll send it back to you, Teacher Bai. Is that alright?”

Facing Huo Ranchuan’s gentle gaze, Bai Nuosi blushed slightly and lowered his head in embarrassment. “That’s fine.”

With his face flushed, Bai Nuosi didn’t dare bring up taking the snake baby again.

Once they sat down to eat with the two spiritual entities, Bai Nuosi took a bite of a bun and looked up, only to see that Huo Ranchuan and the Teng Snake were moving in perfect sync—grabbing a bun, swallowing it in two bites, sipping some soup, then grabbing another bun and repeating the process.

They even had the same taste preferences, both favoring the spicy meat buns.

Bai Nuosi thought to himself, no wonder the snake baby was raised by Director Huo. They even had the same tastes and eating habits—it was amazing.

While he was thinking this, Bai Nuosi turned his head and saw the panda cub with a bun in each hand, stuffing them into its mouth.

Bai Nuosi: “…”

He quickly stopped the panda cub and said softly, “Qiuqiu, after you finish these two buns, you can’t eat any more. You’ve already had a lot.”

The panda cub swallowed the bun in its mouth and looked at Bai Nuosi with a pitiful expression. “But I’m hungry… I need more buns.”

Bai Nuosi shook his head sternly. “Qiuqiu, if you like buns, you can eat more tomorrow. But you can’t eat too much at night, or your tummy will hurt.”

The panda cub, still munching on a bun, tried to pout and plead, “Bun bun, bun bun tastes good!”

Bai Nuosi: “…”

He remained firm. “No amount of pouting will work. After you finish, go wash your paws, and then we’ll go home. Otherwise…”

Bai Nuosi paused, looking at the panda cub, “I’ll go home alone, and you can stay here with Director Huo.”

The panda cub: “…”

The cub froze, its mouth slightly open, and glanced at Huo Ranchuan.

Just then, Huo Ranchuan, while eating a bun, looked back at the cub with his sharp golden eyes. The panda cub immediately shivered, stuffed the entire bun into its mouth, and, with its cheeks and belly both puffed up, quickly climbed down from the chair and scurried off to the washroom to clean its paws.

Bai Nuosi: “…”

Sure enough, the cub only acts spoiled and mischievous when it’s around him. The moment someone else gives it a stern look, it behaves.

The panda cub went to wash its paws, while Bai Nuosi, who had a small appetite, felt full after just one bun and a small bowl of soup. He stood up and said to Huo Ranchuan, “I’ll go help Qiuqiu wash its hands.”

Huo Ranchuan and the Teng Snake, both with buns in their mouths, simultaneously turned their heads and watched Bai Nuosi’s back as he walked into the bathroom.

After Bai Nuosi cleaned the panda cub’s face and paws, he brought it out and bid farewell to Huo Ranchuan, “Director Huo, it’s getting late. I’ll take Qiuqiu home for a bath and bedtime now. You two take your time eating.”

Earlier, Bai Nuosi had made extra buns, just in case Huo Ranchuan couldn’t cook, so the snake baby would have something to eat. He estimated that the buns would last Huo Ranchuan and the snake baby for three days, but they ended up finishing them in just one meal.

What would the snake baby eat tomorrow?

The Nursery cafeteria was far from the dormitory area in the eastern district, since this wasn’t where the babies usually lived. Plus, the snake baby had just shed its skin and needed rest. Huo Ranchuan, besides being the director, was also the captain of the security team, so he had to train every morning and probably wouldn’t have time to make breakfast.

Thinking about it, the snake baby might face a breakfast dilemma.

Huo Ranchuan stood up with the snake baby to see Bai Nuosi off, “Teacher Bai, thank you so much for today. The buns you made were delicious. It’s the first time I’ve had such tasty food from an alien galaxy.”

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Bai Nuosi replied, “I just made them casually, according to what the babies like. If you enjoyed them, I can make more next time.”

Huo Ranchuan, without hesitation, nodded earnestly, “That would be great. I’d appreciate it, Teacher Bai.”

Seeing the snake baby nestled in Huo Ranchuan’s arms, gazing at him with reluctance, Bai Nuosi felt a bit uneasy. He had been conflicted all afternoon but couldn’t help asking, “Director Huo, would it be alright if I came by every day to visit the snake baby? It seems to like the food I make, and… I could cook for both of you.”

As Bai Nuosi spoke, his voice gradually softened, worried that Huo Ranchuan might be displeased. After all, it sounded like he didn’t trust Huo Ranchuan to take care of the snake baby—though, in truth, that was partly the case.

Thinking of this made Bai Nuosi feel even guiltier.

However, after hearing his words, a faint smile appeared on Huo Ranchuan’s usually expressionless face, as if to say: Is there really such a good deal?

Huo Ranchuan lightly coughed, trying to suppress his smile, “Really? Teacher Bai, would that be convenient for you?”

While saying this, Huo Ranchuan glanced down at the panda cub in Bai Nuosi’s arms.

The panda cub, with its mouth pouting and eyebrows furrowed, looked unhappy. It didn’t like Huo Ranchuan, and it certainly didn’t like the golden eagle. Could it not come at all?

As the panda cub fretted, Bai Nuosi quickly replied, “It’s no trouble. Qiuqiu is well-behaved and obedient, and it really likes the snake baby. This afternoon, it even held the sleeping snake baby in its arms.”

Panda cub: “…”

Teng Snake: “…”

The Teng Snake’s gaze, full of menace, was fixed on the panda cub’s paws, as if planning to chop them off and stew them.

Panda cub: “…”

By the time Bai Nuosi left, it was almost dark. Because the golden eagle was still locked in the room, Huo Ranchuan didn’t go out to see him off.

He stayed inside, opening the internal staff’s shared locator to ensure that Bai Nuosi had safely returned to the dormitory area before finally relaxing.

After Bai Nuosi left, the Teng Snake sluggishly curled up on the sofa, half-asleep.

Huo Ranchuan reached out and patted its head, softly asking, “What’s the matter? You miss Teacher Bai?”

The Teng Snake lazily flicked its tail, clearly not interested in interacting with Huo Ranchuan. It only wanted to follow Teacher Bai home.

With a faint sigh, Huo Ranchuan muttered, seemingly to himself, “Teacher Bai is a caregiver for young ones. You’re not really a baby—do you think you can stay by his side forever?”

Teng Snake: “…”

The snake stared at Huo Ranchuan, confused about why its owner would stab it in the heart like that.

The snake’s discontent was partly from its own feelings and partly from its connection to Teacher Bai.

It had grown so attached to Teacher Bai because its owner had allowed it.

After a few seconds of silence, the Teng Snake suddenly lifted its head, excitedly expressing its thoughts in their mental link.

Huo Ranchuan glared at it, “You’re acting just like the golden eagle, always thinking about hiding. I’ve told you, kidnapping is illegal. You can’t do things that are against the law, understand?”

Teng Snake: “…”

The snake flopped back down, dejected.

Huo Ranchuan sat on the sofa, his thoughts inevitably drifting back to Bai Nuosi.

Without Teacher Bai’s bedtime stories, the night suddenly felt a lot lonelier.

Meanwhile, on his way back to the dormitory, Bai Nuosi received a sudden notification from his smart device. He opened it and was nearly stunned—Rose Nursery had just transferred him one billion star coins?!!!

One billion!

Bai Nuosi was dumbfounded. His annual salary was only five million star coins, so how many times his salary was this?

His first thought was that the Rose Daycare had made a mistake, sending the money to the wrong account. After all, it wasn’t a holiday or payday, so why had they suddenly transferred such a large amount?

Bai Nuosi immediately called his direct supervisor, Manager Mons.

Manager Mons chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, Bai. It’s not a mistake. You earned this through your hard work.”

Mons explained the live stream rewards, “The viewers love you so much that they sent lots of gifts. Don’t feel pressured; just keep streaming as usual. If there are any more revenue shares, we’ll include them with your salary.”

If it weren’t for the fear that Teacher Bai might quit like others, the one billion star coins this time would have been included in his salary.

Mons sighed inwardly. A good caregiver was really hard to find!

Someone as excellent as Teacher Bai was one in a million. If he didn’t work hard to keep him, wouldn’t Director Huo have his head?

After hanging up the phone, Bai Nuosi was still a little dazed.

When he first came here to work, it was simply to leave the ABO planet. The pay here was incredibly high—several times what he made on his home planet. Plus, he loved working with the babies.

But now, in just over a month of work, he’d already earned one billion star coins?

It was more unbelievable than winning the lottery.

With this money, he had financial security. In a few years, if he couldn’t stay on Beastman Star, he could return to his home planet and buy a house of his own. If possible, he could even buy a villa with a large garden, adopt stray cats and dogs, or perhaps open an orphanage to shelter homeless children.

With money, he could do all the things he dreamed of!

Bai Nuosi felt grateful—Rose Garden Nursery had given him so much. But in all honesty, he didn’t think he had done much in return.

All he did was follow his supervisor’s instructions and broadcast with the cubs every day.

Carrying the panda cub, Bai Nuosi got out of the car and returned to his dorm. He happily said to the cub, “Qiu Qiu, teacher earned a lot of money. You, the little black leopard, and the little black snake all contributed to this! Tomorrow, teacher will buy you some meat!”

Excitedly, Bai Nuosi took the panda cub to bathe. Meanwhile, in the depths of the garden outside, a tall black panther silently stood among the flowers, gazing at the closed door. After a few moments, it turned and left.

Han Baiyi had finished his patrol. Wearing his military uniform, he stood on the stone path outside the dorm and asked in a low voice, “Did Teacher Bai get home safely?”

The black panther nodded.

Even though they were now part of the Rose Garden’s patrol squad, they always carried a personal agenda.

First, they wanted to protect Teacher Bai; second, they would protect the world.

Unbeknownst to Bai Nuosi, the black panther had just escorted him in the darkness. In high spirits, Bai Nuosi finished bathing the panda cub, then cuddled the now sweet-smelling cub in bed.

With only one fluffy cub to care for, he found himself with plenty of time on his hands.

Having grown accustomed to looking after multiple babies, just one felt like a break. Thinking of the generous reward he’d received today, and the fact that he hadn’t live-streamed in the past couple of days due to the attack, Bai Nuosi decided to turn on his stream before bed.

As soon as he activated the live-stream ball, billions of followers across the Beastman Star system received a notification!

[Ding! Your special-streamer Rose Garden Nursery – Caregiver Bai Nuosi is live! Come check it out.]

Billions of viewers: “!!!”

[Ahhh! I’m here! I’m the first one today, so Teacher Bai should stay with me first! Gift x 10]

[It’s been two days since I last saw Teacher Bai’s stream. Ahhh, I missed you so much, love! Ear-shattering JPG.]

[Why are you live at this hour? Don’t the babies usually go to bed around now? Gift x 10]

[I heard Teacher Bai’s account is restricted, so he can only reply to comments without blocked words! Look at me, Teacher! I’m a decent person and never use blocked words! Gift x 1]

[Lol, the “blocked words” you mentioned are themselves blocked words! Hahaha!]

…

Ever since Bai Nuosi had replied to over a hundred viewers’ comments on little Naby’s eating show, fans became aware that his account was limited. So they avoided discussing terms like “spirit beasts” or “S-class” to steer clear of blocked words. Bai Nuosi was surprised to see his stream blow up.

How had his stream become so popular the moment he turned it on?

The barrage of comments was overwhelming, and he was thoroughly shocked.

No wonder his donations had reached a billion…

Seeing so many fans, including a bunch calling him “wife,” Bai Nuosi felt a bit shy and reserved. He sat on the bed with the panda cub in his arms and smiled at the camera, greeting the viewers, “Good evening, everyone. I’m Teacher Bai from Rose Garden Nursery.”

[We know, we know, wife. Everyone knows who you are.]

[It seems like our wife doesn’t realize how popular he is yet. It’s frustrating! Who’s going to be lucky enough to end up with such a gentle, adorable wife?]

[Wife is wearing panda pajamas! Ahhh, so cute! I want to cuddle!]

…

Bai Nuosi brushed aside his slightly damp hair, smiling shyly. “Because of the sudden incident the other day, I was busy taking care of the cubs and couldn’t stream. I’m just popping on for an hour before bed to let everyone know I’m safe.”

The Rose Garden Nursery had already made the attack incident public. The father and son of the Han family had been taken away by Commander Huo Ranchuan, so people knew what was going on.

In fact, the audience was more curious about the golden eagle’s situation.

They only knew that Commander Huo had successfully subdued the golden eagle, but its whereabouts remained unknown.

Someone in the live chat asked:

[Hand raised JPG Teacher Bai, look at me! Where did the snake baby go? Why isn’t it here?]

Seeing this, Bai Nuosi quickly explained to the viewers, “The snake baby is shedding its skin these days. I don’t have experience caring for it during the shedding process, so the director took it back to care for. The director personally raised the snake baby, so it’s in good hands. It will come back in a few days.”

The viewers: [???]

[What? Did I hear that right, everyone? Isn’t the director of Rose Garden Nursery Commander Huo Ranchuan?]

[Sisters, I have a bold idea! What if… the snake baby is…]

[Aaaaah, no way, right? If the snake baby is actually Commander Huo Ranchuan, I’m going to lose my mind!]

[The rough commander x the gentle caregiver, just tell me—isn’t this the ultimate ship? Dog head JPG.]

…

While the audience was going wild over the true identity of the snake, Bai Nuosi continued answering fan questions: “You’re asking about the golden eagle? I don’t know any golden eagle, but if you’re talking about a bird-type beastman, there’s one I know from the director’s house. It’s very gentle, quiet, and likes staring at people. I think it’s quite easy to get along with.”

The viewers were once again stunned into silence: […]

[If it’s a bird-type beastman from Director Huo’s house, sisters, it’s safe to say it’s probably the golden eagle.]

[Listen to what Teacher Bai said, “It’s very gentle.” Smiling JPG.]

[So, not only do the spirit beast cubs adore Teacher Bai, but even those with broken mental states can’t resist his charm!]

…

After replying to a few more comments and chatting with his fans for a while, Bai Nuosi noticed that ten minutes had passed. He said, “That’s enough chatting for now. It’s time for the babies’ bedtime story.”

The live audience:

[?????? Wait, Teacher Bai! I don’t want a story right now! I want to know how Director Huo managed to keep both a snake and an eagle in the same house without them fighting!]

[Teacher Bai, I want to hear more about that bird-type beastman! How exactly is it gentle and easy to get along with? Please, tell us more!]

…

But Bai Nuosi wasn’t paying attention to the audience’s reactions anymore. He couldn’t chat any longer; if he did, it would mess up the panda cub’s sleep schedule!

The most important thing for the cubs was sleep. Only by sleeping well could they grow big and strong, and Bai Nuosi cared deeply about their sleep quality.

Holding the panda cub in his arms, Bai Nuosi asked, “Qiu Qiu, what story would you like to hear today?”

The panda cub leaned against Teacher Bai and scratched its head: “Umm… listen to a bun story!”

Bai Nuosi: “…”

With a helpless smile, Bai Nuosi said, “Buns are food, you can smell them with your nose or eat them with your mouth, but you can’t listen to them with your ears. There are other foods you can hear, though, like bubbling soup or popping popcorn in a pot…”

As he spoke, Bai Nuosi randomly pulled out a book from his storage. “Let’s go with this one tonight.”

He took out a picture book featuring a little yellow chick on the cover and said softly, “The title is Did You Give It Your All?“

The panda cub snuggled contentedly in Bai Nuosi’s arms, ready to enjoy the story.

Meanwhile, some viewers in the live stream were arguing, while others were waiting for Teacher Bai’s bedtime story. After all, who could resist a good bedtime story?

Bai Nuosi was about to turn the first page when suddenly, his phone rang.

Who could be calling him this late?

He glanced at the caller ID—it was Director Huo. Bai Nuosi immediately sat up straight and answered, “Hello? Director Huo?”

Huo Ranchuan’s voice sounded both anxious and apologetic: “I’m sorry to disturb your rest so late, Teacher Bai.”

Bai Nuosi, worried that something had happened to the snake baby, quickly said, “It’s no bother, Director Huo. What’s going on? Is the snake baby alright?”

Huo Ranchuan turned his head to look at the now-dented iron door. The golden eagle had gone berserk again, wrecking the place.

With a headache, Huo Ranchuan said, “The golden eagle wants to see you. Would it be possible for you to come over?”

Bai Nuosi was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly asked, “Huh? The golden eagle… wants to see me?”

The live chat: [?????]

The panda cub: “!!!”

The panda cub was about to lose its temper!

Teacher Bai, you’re not allowed to go!

This was supposed to be the panda cub’s special bedtime story time! That annoying golden eagle was ruining everything!
