Becoming a Kindergarten Teacher for S-Class Spirit Beasts – CH77

Chapter 77

After fairly and impartially giving both fluffy ones a bath, Teacher Bai Nuosi dried their fur and used a soft brush to groom them neatly.

Once the little lion and the little white tiger had finished their baths, they were fluffy and fragrant, looking absolutely adorable.

Bai Nuosi adored them immensely and scooped them up into his arms. “Now that you’re all clean, the teacher will give you a massage.”

He placed the two cubs on the bed and also brought over the little black snake curled up in the quilt. Lining up the three little ones, Bai Nuosi arranged them neatly. “Alright, we’ll start with the little white tiger.”

The little white tiger: “…”

This… Qin Yuxing didn’t mention this… Oh well, the little white tiger realized that for the little lion, these routines were pure enjoyment.

Looking at the little lion beside him, whose mouth was grinning from ear to ear.

The baby snake was already very familiar with Teacher Bai’s massage techniques, but the little lion and the little white tiger had not experienced them yet. Bai Nuosi gently massaged the little white tiger’s head and face, smiling as he praised, “What a cute little face; it looks even better when the teacher touches it. Little ears, give them a tug; the baby is obedient and well-behaved… Soft little tummy, so cuddly; the baby smiles so sweetly…”

The little white tiger: “…”

Being gently massaged by Teacher Bai and meeting his warm, smiling gaze, the little white tiger’s stern little face began to soften.

Teacher Bai was so gentle, and his massage technique was very comfortable. He even praised him for being cute and having a sweet smile…

Wait a minute, the little white tiger suddenly realized—he hadn’t been smiling just now, had he?

Just as the little white tiger was feeling both awkward and shy about this new experience, the little lion lying next to him started to fuss.

The little lion lay there with all four paws up, eagerly waiting for Teacher Bai to massage him. But he waited and waited, and Teacher Bai was still massaging the little white tiger.

Hanye was so boring—nowhere near as cute as Xingxing!

Had he known that Hanye would compete with him for Teacher Bai’s attention, perhaps letting Hanye stay with Supervisor Mons wouldn’t have been a bad idea?

The little lion began to kick his legs and whimpered softly.

After finishing massaging the little white tiger’s four legs, Teacher Bai turned him over. “Come on, Hanye, lie on your tummy~”

The chubby little white tiger lay down on his stomach, and Bai Nuosi went to soothe the restless little lion. “Xingxing, don’t pretend to cry. The teacher can tell right away—shame on you.”

This little guy didn’t even have tears, yet he’d been whining for so long.

Meanwhile, the Teng Snake sprawled beside the little lion didn’t know how many times it had sighed inwardly.

With more cubs around, Teacher Bai was neglecting him. Wuwuwu, Teng Snake felt secretly blue but didn’t dare express it, fearing that Teacher Bai might send him to Mons.

After all, the current situation was obvious; in front of these round, fluffy cubs, he didn’t have any competitive advantage!

Bai Nuosi gave all three little ones a simple massage and carefully applied specialized skincare oil to the little black snake’s scales. Seeing the snake baby’s scales smooth and shiny, Bai Nuosi was satisfied. “Since you’ve just grown new skin after shedding, you need to take good care of it.”

He then looked at the live-streaming orb. “That’s all for today’s live broadcast. The babies are going to sleep now, so everyone should go to bed early too. See you tomorrow at eight.”

After speaking, Bai Nuosi closed the live stream.

He was a bit tired today and wanted to rest early. Supervisor Mons had said he would come to pick up the little white tiger, but he didn’t know what time.

The viewers who were engrossed in the live stream were suddenly cut off.

Viewers: “…”

[Ahhh! Teacher Bai! How can you end the live stream now? I want to hear a bedtime story and watch the babies sleep!]
[His face didn’t look so good; maybe his wounds are hurting. Let him rest early.]

[He’s injured and hospitalized, yet he still has to take care of three cubs. How awful! Is Teacher Bai the only caretaker at the Rose Garden Nursery?]

[Everyone, calm down. I guess he wanted to take care of the cubs himself. Didn’t you see that during the bath and massage, the little white tiger was almost rubbed bald?]

Although viewers could watch the daily routines of bathing and massaging the fluffy ones almost every day, they never got tired of it. Moreover, as Bai Nuosi’s popularity increased recently, his fan base grew larger, and the live stream’s peak real-time viewership reached over ten billion.

This meant that not only people from this planet were watching; netizens from most of the Beastman Star Systems were tuning in to watch him care for the cubs.

Now, the viewers, still wanting more, went around boosting posts related to Teacher Bai. His personal account’s followers skyrocketed, and even the rewards were more than before.

Song Hengye, who had been sharing senses with the little white tiger, silently put down the book in his hand. At this moment, he had no heart for studying!

Watching how meticulously Teacher Bai took care of the little white tiger, Song Hengye felt somewhat moved.

Perhaps no one could understand, but in his heart, he suddenly thought of his mother.

He had never seen his mother since he was a child, but he had imagined countless times that if his mother were still alive and had raised him, perhaps she would be like Teacher Bai?

Leaning against the bedside, Song Hengye’s rugged features showed a slight emotion. Teacher Bai was indeed a very good teacher; no wonder Qin Yuxing kept talking about him.

After massaging the three little ones, Bai Nuosi carried them to bed. He was still staying in the hospital room, which was a suite with two rooms. So, Bai Nuosi planned to go to the adjacent room to sleep after lulling the cubs to sleep.

He set an alarm to get up two or three times during the night to check on the babies. After all, the little lion and the little black snake could already sleep through the night until dawn.

Bai Nuosi squeezed onto the bed with the three little ones. As usual, the snake baby lay on his right side, and the little lion quickly nestled on his left. The little white tiger looked at them with a stern face; the good spots were all taken. What else could he do but crouch beside the little lion?

Seeing this, Bai Nuosi smiled and said, “Hanye, come over to the teacher’s side.”

Saying this, Bai Nuosi moved the snake baby into his arms, freeing up the spot on his right side for the little white tiger to lie down.

Now, all three babies were nestled in Teacher Bai’s embrace.

The fair and impartial Teacher Bai would never neglect any cub!

Bai Nuosi said gently, “Now it’s time for our bedtime story. Let me see, which book is it tonight?”

The bedtime story segment was the snake baby’s favorite!

Every night, no matter how busy he was, Huo Ranchuan would pause to listen to the story!

Just like now, he was originally in the Crown Prince’s office, discussing the follow-up investigation arrangements of the kidnapping incident with several of the prince’s confidants. While everyone was actively speaking, he remained silent, sitting there without saying a word.

The Crown Prince curiously asked him, “Commander Huo, do you have any thoughts?”

Huo Ranchuan looked up slightly, glanced at the Crown Prince, shook his head silently, and gestured that he was occupied with something else.

The Crown Prince: “…”

Anyone who didn’t know might think his spiritual beast was in some serious trouble.

But actually, only the Crown Prince present knew that this guy was listening to a bedtime story!

From his portable storage terminal, Bai Nuosi took out a picture book. On the cover was a little boy riding a horse and holding a sword.

Pointing to the cover, Bai Nuosi said, “Tonight’s story is called Norby the Little Knight. Norby is this little boy, and his biggest dream is to become a brave knight who can ride the most handsome horse, wield the best sword, slay evil dragons, and rid the world of harm!”

This story immediately captivated the little lion!

Becoming a brave knight, riding a horse with a sword, crossing mountains and rivers, overcoming numerous difficulties to slay evil dragons and make a name for oneself—this was almost every boy’s dream!

No boy didn’t want to be a knight; no knight didn’t want to slay a dragon!

The little lion scooted forward excitedly, eagerly looking at the contents of the book.

The little white tiger also moved slightly, curiously leaning toward the book.

Clearly, this was a story that boys would love.

Bai Nuosi smiled and opened the first page of the book. “Norby was a brave little boy. His father was the bravest knight. As the child of a knight, Norby’s biggest dream was to become an even braver knight than his father, to go to far, faraway places to slay evil dragons.”

Turning a page, he looked at young Norby standing beside his father, being patted on the head. “But Norby’s father said that to become a knight, he must first grow up. So Norby waited and waited, and every day he would ask his father, ‘Daddy, Daddy, have I grown up today?'”

“Norby’s father would always shake his head and say, ‘Norby, you’re not tall enough yet.'”

And so, after a long time, one day, Norby’s father brought back a knight’s outfit as a twelfth birthday gift. “Brave Norby, from today on, you are a knight.”

In the illustrations, the little boy excitedly put on the shining knight’s armor, donned a helmet, and wore a sword at his waist. His dear father even brought him a pony.

Seeing this, the little lion’s eyes lit up with excitement. Wow, what a shiny knight’s armor! He wanted one too!

Moreover, Norby became a knight at twelve; he was already sixteen! He wanted to become one as well!

Bai Nuosi turned another page. In the picture book, the little boy had already put on the shining knight’s armor. “The day after officially becoming a knight, Norby said goodbye to his mother: ‘Goodbye, Mom. I’m setting out today to find the evil dragon.'”

Norby’s mother was very sad. “But where is the evil dragon?”

Norby didn’t look back as he said, “At the end of the sun; I will surely find it!”

And so, Norby embarked on his journey to find the evil dragon. He crossed rivers, went through forests, and climbed one mountain after another.

But the sun was always on the other side of the mountain; he could never catch up.

One day, it rained heavily. Norby led his horse through the forest with difficulty. A little rabbit took him in. “Brave knight, though my cave is shabby and leaks, it’s better than you wandering outside.”

Norby was very touched. He spent a long night in the leaky cave, and he liked the little rabbit very much, but he had to leave it behind.

Turning the pages, Bai Nuosi looked at Norby and the little rabbit playing in the cave, eating, and using bowls to catch the rainwater leaking from the cave roof.

The three babies listened intently to the story. Even Song Hengye, who watched training videos every night, and Qin Yuxing, who was confined and couldn’t access the StarNet, sat quietly, listening to Teacher Bai narrate: “The little rabbit asked him, ‘Where are you going?'”

Norby replied, “I’m going to find the most evil dragon.”

The little rabbit asked, “Why do you want to find the evil dragon?”

Norby proudly said, “Because I am a knight!”

Knights must slay evil dragons.

Norby continued to walk and walk. Eventually, he became thirsty and rested under a big tree. A beautiful rose, bent under a stone, offered him sweet dew. Norby gratefully said, “Thank you, little rose; your dew is very sweet.”

Norby liked the little rose very much, but he still chose to move on.

The little rose said sadly, “Do you really have to leave me?”

Norby nodded firmly. “Yes, I have to find the most evil dragon.”

The little rose asked the same question as the little rabbit, “Why do you want to find the evil dragon?”

Norby repeated his answer, “Because I am a knight—the bravest knight!”

Knights must slay evil dragons. Norby continued on his journey with unwavering determination.

As the story progressed, Bai Nuosi turned to a new page. The little boy walked and walked, for a very long time. But the end of the sun seemed to be in a very distant place.

One evening, he arrived at a desolate grassland. It seemed like the end of the sun, but there was no evil dragon there. He only saw his father waiting for him.

Norby was very sad. He threw himself into his father’s arms, crying, “Daddy, Daddy, why can’t I find the evil dragon?”

His father asked, “Why are you looking for the evil dragon?”

Norby cried, “Because I am a knight; that’s the meaning of my existence.”

His father shook his head. He was wearing the strongest armor and had the best sword at his waist, but he said, “The purpose of a knight is to protect those who are important to us. Whoever harms the ones we guard is the evil dragon.”

“The meaning of a knight is not given by ourselves but by others.”

Hearing this, Bai Nuosi felt a bit moved, and his voice became even gentler. “Norby thought of the little friends he had met along the way and suddenly realized that the sun has no end and that the evil dragon lurks around us. When he was chasing the end of the sun to find the evil dragon, the evil dragon was already harming those he wanted to protect.”

“So Norby immediately left his father’s embrace and hurried back.”

He returned to the little rose who had given him sweet dew and moved the stone pressing on her. He said to the little rose, “Now, the evil dragon is this stone.”

He continued on and went back to the little rabbit living in the leaky cave. He helped the little rabbit fix the cave. He said to the little rabbit, “Now, the evil dragon is this rain.”

He helped the little rose and the little rabbit drive away the evil dragons. Then he hurried back to his mother’s side and hugged her tightly.

He whispered, “Dear Mom, I almost became the evil dragon.”

Because I hurt you.

Bai Nuosi closed the picture book. He had always loved this story and had told it to countless little ones before.

Looking at the little lion with a complex expression, the calm-faced little white tiger, and the silent baby snake, he gently said to them, “Staying by the side of those who are important to you and protecting them—that is the purpose of a knight’s existence. I hope that when you grow up, you can become true knights and slay real evil dragons.”

Qin Yuxing silently thought about his previous idea of running away from home and suddenly felt a bit childish.

Being some space pirate—how could that be cooler than being a knight?
