Becoming a Kindergarten Teacher for S-Class Spirit Beasts – CH50

Chapter 50

Why would the bird-type beastman want to see him at this hour?

Bai Nuosi was confused. When he was at Director Huo’s house, he hadn’t really interacted with the golden eagle.

Judging by the director’s tone, it sounded like the situation was out of control. Considering both the snake baby and Director Huo, Bai Nuosi had to go.

“Don’t worry, Director, I’ll be right there,” Bai Nuosi assured him.

Huo Ranchuan nodded. “Let the night patrol escort you over.”

Bai Nuosi didn’t think it was necessary—he could easily go by himself, after all, Rose Garden Nursery was very safe.

But Director Huo had already made arrangements: “I’ve informed them, someone will be waiting for you at the door.”

Bai Nuosi, always the obedient one, accepted the arrangement. Whatever Director Huo said went.

After hanging up, Bai Nuosi quickly got out of bed, grabbed a shirt to throw over his pajamas, slipped into sandals, and hurried out the door with the panda cub in his arms. “Qiu Qiu, it seems like there’s something going on at Director Huo’s place. We’ll head over now, okay? If you get sleepy, you can nap in my arms, or once we get there, I’ll have the snake baby sleep with you. How does that sound?”

The panda cub wasn’t too happy about it, but clearly, Teacher Bai wasn’t asking for its opinion.

Since Teacher Bai was already heading out, what else could it say?

So, the panda cub reluctantly nodded. “Okay.”

Bai Nuosi patted its head and softly praised, “What a good little baby.”

As soon as they stepped outside, Bai Nuosi was met with the gaze of Han Baiyi, the young officer standing at the door.

Bai Nuosi was surprised. “Oh, it’s you, young officer?”

Seeing that it was the familiar Han Baiyi, Bai Nuosi felt much more at ease. He had thought Director Huo would arrange for a guard he didn’t know.

Han Baiyi stood by the transport vehicle and smiled softly at Bai Nuosi. “Good evening, Teacher Bai.”

Bai Nuosi, holding the panda cub, walked over. “Good evening.”

He still didn’t know the young officer’s name. He had wanted to ask before but hadn’t found the right opportunity. Now, he remembered again but noticed the officer was looking at the top of his head.

Bai Nuosi looked up and let out an “Oh!” saying, “Oh no, I almost forgot! My livestream is still running!”

He placed the panda cub in the transport vehicle, climbed in himself, and sat beside the cub. Holding the livestream orb, he softly addressed his viewers, “I have a last-minute work call, so that’s it for tonight’s stream. I’ll be live again at 8 a.m. tomorrow. If you want to see the cub, feel free to join. Goodnight, everyone.”

With that, Bai Nuosi immediately ended the stream, not having time to read through the chaotic flurry of comments.

The livestream viewers were left frustrated:

[Ahhhh! Baby! We’re not here to see the cub, we want to see the golden eagle! Sheep screaming JPG.]

[So, Commander Huo really is stubborn enough to keep the golden eagle in his house? That’s so manly! How can he sleep at night?]

[He probably can’t! That’s why he called Teacher Bai in the middle of the night! But seriously, can Teacher Bai really help?]

[Hmm… maybe even the fiercest eagle is afraid of a teacher?]

…

In just one evening, Bai Nuosi had dropped two major bombshells. One was that the owner of the snake might very well be Huo Ranchuan, and the other was that the recently rampaging golden eagle had been brought home by Huo Ranchuan!

Both revelations were explosive enough to send the star network’s trending topics into overdrive.

Now, with Teacher Bai being called to Huo Ranchuan’s place in the middle of the night and Han Baiyi personally escorting him, the information overload was overwhelming.

One long comment shot to the top of the trending list, even sparking a new ship between Han Baiyi and Bai Nuosi:

[After the black panther evolved, it left Rose Nursery. Given that Han Baiyi cut ties with his family and the new recruits just started school, training must be intense. He should be at the military academy, competing like crazy. But instead, he joined the Rose Nursery patrol team. When the nursery was attacked, a black panther was seen by Teacher Bai’s side. I suspect Han Baiyi joined the team for Teacher Bai!]

[Teacher Bai doesn’t know anything about spirit beasts, so even though he’s faced the grown-up black panther and the young, handsome Han Baiyi, he doesn’t recognize them. He thinks of them as strangers, not realizing that this stranger is secretly in love with him! And to protect him, Han Baiyi joined the patrol! Who understands? Ahhh! I’m in tears over this beautiful, unspoken love.]

…

Bai Nuosi sat in the transport vehicle with the panda cub, while Han Baiyi took the driver’s seat. This particular vehicle was designed for the guards, with advanced security systems and much higher speed than the baby transport Bai Nuosi usually drove.

This time, Han Baiyi didn’t let the black panther out. After all, in Teacher Bai’s mind, the panther was a beastman. It would be understandable if a beastman had to come out in special circumstances, but making it act as a mount to transport people, especially with a vehicle available, would seem inappropriate.

Others might not think much of it, but soft-hearted Teacher Bai would definitely be concerned.

Han Baiyi knew Teacher Bai too well.

After Bai Nuosi ended the livestream, he looked apologetic. “I’m really sorry, Officer. I got so caught up in things that I forgot to end the stream. I think the camera might’ve caught you on screen. Will that cause any problems?”

Bai Nuosi knew that some members of special forces couldn’t show their faces easily, and their identities were kept secret. He wasn’t sure if the patrol guards at Rose Nursery followed the same rules.

Han Baiyi, seeing the apologetic look on Bai Nuosi’s face, couldn’t help but soften. How could he ever be upset with Teacher Bai?

No matter what Teacher Bai did, Han Baiyi figured he would never get angry.

Besides, his face was probably already known by all the netizens on Beastman Star.

With a gentle voice, Han Baiyi reassured him, “It’s fine, Teacher Bai. We’re allowed to show our faces. It’s not a big deal, so don’t worry about it.”

He didn’t want Teacher Bai to feel bad.

Hearing Han Baiyi say that, Bai Nuosi immediately relaxed. He had been genuinely concerned just moments ago.

Han Baiyi noticed that Bai Nuosi was only wearing shorts and sandals, with a thin shirt as an outer layer. The night air was quite chilly in the autumn, so he closed the windows of the transport vehicle and adjusted the temperature.

In about ten minutes, they arrived at the dormitory in the eastern district. Although Han Baiyi wished he could spend more time with Teacher Bai, he knew the situation with the golden eagle was urgent and didn’t dare delay.

After thanking Han Baiyi, Bai Nuosi got out of the vehicle with the panda cub.

Han Baiyi escorted Bai Nuosi all the way to the elevator of the dormitory building, only leaving after making sure he had gotten on safely.

Then, Han Baiyi stayed outside the east district dormitory entrance, waiting quietly with the white transport vehicle parked beside him, standing silently in the cool autumn night.

He thought to himself, Teacher Bai will definitely need to go back later, and if someone else is arranged to take him, it might not be me. After all, I’ve already switched shifts and it’s not my turn.

So, he decided to wait there. That way, Teacher Bai wouldn’t have to rely on anyone else for a ride back.

This was Bai Nuosi’s second visit to Huo Ran Chuan’s dormitory today, and he already knew his way around.

The door to Huo Ranchuan’s room was open. As soon as Bai Nuosi walked in, he heard the sound of heavy thuds, as if someone was banging on the walls.

Bai Nuosi: “…”

His first thought was that the mentally unstable bird beastman was at it again, banging on the walls!

The soundproofing in the Rose Nursery was really impressive, though. On his way here, he hadn’t heard a thing, but now that he was at the open door, it felt like there was an earthquake going on inside.

Bai Nuosi hugged the panda cub, pressing its head to his chest, and whispered, “Don’t be scared, Qiuqiu. Soon, I’ll take you to sleep in the snake baby’s room. You two can sleep together.”

The panda cub was fed up with the golden eagle. It couldn’t understand why, in the middle of the night, the eagle loved to smash walls.

Disconnected from its main body, the spirit beast had gone completely mad. In the spiritual realm, the panda cub clung tightly to Chu Jiangting’s leg, refusing to leave its main body no matter what!

Huo Ranchuan stood by the door, visibly relieved as he saw Bai Nuosi enter. “You’re here.”

Bai Nuosi gasped when he saw Huo Ranchuan. “Director Huo! Your back is bleeding!”

Huo Ran Chuan was still wearing his casual loungewear, but the once clean clothes were now soaked in blood, covering large sections from his back to his shoulders and arms, seemingly from multiple wounds.

His face was pale, though his expression remained unchanged. He shook his head and said, “Teacher Bai, I’m fine. Some of the wounds reopened. I’ll bandage them in a bit.”

Bai Nuosi thought otherwise—Director Huo clearly needed to go to the hospital immediately! That laser cannon earlier clearly wasn’t as simple as it looked!

Perhaps hearing Bai Nuosi’s voice, or maybe smelling his scent, the golden eagle that had been repeatedly smashing its cage against the walls suddenly slammed the heavy metal cage onto the floor with a loud clang and began screeching. Its cries were sharp and urgent, filled with excitement—it was clearly eager to meet its “little cutie.”

Initially, Huo Ranchuan hadn’t intended to call Bai Nuosi over. But after the golden eagle had been making such a ruckus for a long time, he noticed something odd. Even though the eagle was smashing walls, the dishes that Bai Nuosi had brought earlier were still neatly placed in their original spot, completely untouched by the bird.

Recalling how the golden eagle had behaved unusually calmly when Bai Nuosi had previously delivered food, Huo Ranchuan wanted to test something—could Bai Nuosi really calm the golden eagle down?

“Follow me,” Huo Ranchuan said to Bai Nuosi.

Bai Nuosi nodded and followed him. As they passed the sofa, he noticed the snake baby curled up, asleep. Bai Nuosi had intended to put the panda cub down, but the cub refused, staying firmly nestled in his arms, afraid that if it were left behind, Teacher Bai might move in and make it sleep with the snake baby forever.

With no other choice, Bai Nuosi continued holding the panda cub. As they approached the door to the room, the golden eagle’s screeching suddenly stopped.

Huo Ranchuan felt speechless. He walked into the brightly lit room and saw the walls had been battered, with large dents and cracks caused by the eagle smashing its cage.

However, the golden eagle that had been frenzied moments ago was now standing obediently in the middle of its cage. If it weren’t for the mess it had made and the bandages wrapped haphazardly around its dusty feathers, someone might have doubted it was responsible for the chaos.

Huo Ran Chuan: “…”

Is it possible that the golden eagle really is afraid of the teacher?

Bai Nuosi peeked into the room and locked eyes with the golden eagle’s piercing gaze.

Bai Nuosi: “…”

Feeling a bit nervous, Bai Nuosi followed Huo Ran Chuan but kept his distance from the cage, holding the panda cub tightly.

Nervously, he greeted the eagle. “Hello, Mr. Golden Eagle.”

The golden eagle: “!!!”

The eagle’s eyes widened, staring in shock at the spirit beast cub in Bai Nuosi’s arms.

Huh? What’s going on? How is the little cutie’s spirit beast also so cute?

Small, fluffy, and adorable—the golden eagle’s eyes filled with affection as it gazed at the panda cub. It even thought to itself that it could feed the cub some bugs later.

The panda cub, sensing the strange look from the eagle, instantly tensed up: “…”

Crap, this eagle definitely has some weird ideas about me!

Wanting to express its joy at seeing the little cutie, but unable to speak unless it could sync with its main body, the golden eagle began pacing anxiously in circles. It tried not to seem too eager, fearing it might scare the little cutie away.

After two awkward circles, the eagle turned back, looking shyly and awkwardly at Bai Nuosi. Since it couldn’t speak, it decided to resort to the traditional way of showing affection—through a courtship display!

Birds either dance or sing when they court. Since it had strained its voice from screeching earlier, it decided to perform a little dance.

Standing nearby, Huo Ran Chuan watched the scene, feeling that this was almost too absurd.

With its wings still bound by bandages, the golden eagle clumsily hopped around, attempting to perform its courtship dance. However, its movements were so awkward that Bai Nuosi was completely confused.

Not knowing what to make of the situation, Bai Nuosi hesitantly asked Huo Ran Chuan, “Director Huo, is the eagle feeling unwell?”

Huo Ran Chuan’s face darkened as he stared at the eagle, letting out a cold laugh. “Yes, its brain isn’t well.”

Bai Nuosi: “…”

Huo Ranchuan thought, No wonder the eagle has been so rowdy. The moment Teacher Bai arrives, it behaves. Turns out it’s trying to court him!

Ridiculous! Trying to court Teacher Bai? As if a bird could ever have him!

With a stern face, Huo Ranchuan apologized to Bai Nuosi. “I’m sorry for calling you over so late and disturbing your rest, Teacher Bai.”

Seeing such a clumsy dance, Bai Nuosi nearly lost his eyesight.

He shook his head and said, “It’s my honor to help Director Huo.”

Huo Ranchuan was about to lead Bai Nuosi out, not wanting to watch the eyesore of a dance any longer. But just then, the golden eagle spun on one leg, and with a loud thump, it flopped onto the cage, holding a golden feather in its beak. Stretching its neck out, it gazed at Bai Nuosi with shining eyes.

This was part of the bird’s courtship ritual—accept the feather, and you become my mate!
