Panda Cub – Chapter 75

Guarantee

The dark energy was panting heavily, but regardless, he didn’t respond to her question.

He Yuan chuckled softly, the endless indulgence, that was the way it ended up.

Her fingers clenched, the dark energy congealed under her spiritual power, then transformed into a dagger-like form, following Jing Dan’s lead, stabbing into the dark energy repeatedly!

The dark energy gradually became thinner, from the man’s initial roar to later begging for mercy, but the blade never hesitated, piercing towards him relentlessly!

He Ying watched her eyes, which were red from anger, pulled Jing Dan’s hand and stood silently by the side. She understood that at this moment, Lady He needed to vent, years of resentment finally finding release.

Until the end, the dark energy became almost thin to the point of just a strand left, He Yuan once again plunged it into a sea of fire, but this time the sea of fire did not protect him from death like Jing Dan did before, directly causing him to perish!

After he completely perished, He Yuan stood there in a daze. After years of hatred finally coming to an end, she unexpectedly felt a sense of emptiness. She couldn’t even remember what had supported her all these years to live until now.

Seeing Lady He in this rare state of loss, He Ying could understand her current feelings. He squatted in front of her with a smile and said, “Mom, Jing Dan and I are planning to form a bond and have a wedding. Will you come to witness it?”

He Yuan’s eyes flickered and she looked at her daughter, then at Jing Dan, a smile appearing on her lips. “You’re forming a bond and getting married? That’s nice.”

Her child was grown up now, even to the age of finding a spouse and getting married. It was time for her to start living for herself.

After He Ying saw a sparkle in her eyes, she finally relaxed and reminded her, “Jing Dan is worried that you’re too thin and unhealthy, so you must make sure to eat more. On the day of our wedding, you should dress beautifully.”

“Huh? What do you mean I’m worried? Aren’t you worried too?” Jing Dan was a bit displeased, wondering why everything was being blamed on her.

He Ying gave her a wink, but Jing Dan ignored her signals and went to He Yuan, starting to complain. She said that it was all her own idea, but she was too embarrassed to say it in her own name, so she ended up pushing it onto her instead.

He Yuan listened with a smile, while He Ying wished she could find a hole to hide in. She discreetly tugged on Jing Dan’s sleeve, indicating that it was enough, but instead, she became even more enthusiastic.

He Ying felt hopeless.

When she returned to the room, He Ying was still sulking. After showering and climbing into bed, she turned her back to Jing Dan to sleep. The feeling of shame in her heart remained strong, and from now on, she would be too embarrassed to face Lady He!

Seeing her back facing her, Jing Dan scooted over from behind and whispered, “Are you angry?”

He Ying didn’t respond.

“Why are you angry? If you care about her, why not be honest with her?” Jing Dan couldn’t quite understand the awkwardness between He Yuan and He Ying. She could sense that they cared about each other, but they always seemed to have a hard time expressing it.

He Ying: “…”

She muttered quietly in her heart, “Not everyone is as outgoing as your family.”

Thinking back to the scenes of Jing Dan interacting with her aunt and mother, she felt a bit envious. The natural affection between them was truly admirable.

“Treat me nicely~” Jing Dan whispered softly behind her, “If you ignore me, I’ll tell Mom you abuse me!”

“!”

He Ying turned around in disbelief, looking at her, “How could you slander someone like that? When did I ever abuse you?”

Now her Jing Xiaodan could even come up with such excuses?

“Emotional neglect is also considered abuse!” Jing Dan said innocently, knowing this point quite well.

He Ying was a bit speechless at her words, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation. She reached out and hugged Jing Dan, sighing, “And now? Is it still considered abuse?”

This person was really something, bringing up abuse now.

Being embraced in her arms, Jing Dan smiled with squinted eyes. She leaned in to give her a kiss on the lips and mumbled, “It’s not complete without a kiss.”

He Ying chuckled softly and held her tighter.


The three of them spent some time in Lanjiang City before heading to Huaqing City together once Lady He had recovered quite well. Upon their arrival, several people related to them were already waiting there.

“You guys are really planning to form a bond?!”

As soon as the three entered the room, Jing Li approached them in disbelief.

“Of course! He Ying can only be mine!” Jing Dan asserted proudly, holding onto He Ying’s hand firmly, unwilling to let go. After all, in her mind, He Ying could only belong to her no matter when!

Jing Li’s expression was a bit hard to describe. Neither she nor Jing Dan’s father had formed a bond, after all, imprinting each other’s souls was still a significant matter. Many spirits, even though they raised children together, did not necessarily form a bond.

“Mom, I will never let Jing Dan down,” He Ying said solemnly. Although it seemed like a mere slogan now, she was not willing to give up even on a slogan.

Jing Li looked at her for a long time and finally said, “I bet you won’t disappoint us.”

He Ying smiled gradually, shook her head firmly, and affirmed, “I won’t!”

Hearing them speak like this, Jing Dan turned to look at He Yuan, also saying seriously, “Mom, I will never let He Ying down!”

He Ying: “…”

Jing Li: “…”

He Yuan: “…”

Seeing that none of them were speaking, Jing Dan was puzzled and turned to He Yuan for a reminder, “It’s your turn to respond!”

With the silent atmosphere spreading, He Yuan glanced at Jing Li and finally responded, “I bet you won’t disappoint me.”

Jing Dan was satisfied and nodded earnestly, saying, “You won’t make the wrong bet. I will never disappoint you!”

He Yuan nodded calmly.

He Ying’s expression was a bit stiff. While surprised by Jing Dan’s actions, she also found her Jing Xiaodan to be so cute.

However, Jing Li had already covered her face and sneakily went to find Jing Shiyue to have a good chat about the possibility of correcting Jing Dan’s temperament.

As the group entered, Jing Dan’s eyes lit up slightly when she saw the apples on the coffee table. She picked one up and handed it to He Ying.

Taking the apple handed to her by Jing Dan, as it was already washed, He Ying graciously began to peel it and cut it into small pieces to feed Jing Dan.

“Jing Dan, stop bullying poor He Ying.” Jing Shiyue softly spoke, observing her movements just now, which were smooth and natural, showing that she was quite experienced.

“I didn’t!” Jing Dan widened her eyes, feeling very innocent!

“Can’t you peel the apple yourself?” Jing Shiyue raised an eyebrow and asked, feeling a bit disappointed. They weren’t even married yet, and she was already ordering her around like this. What would happen once they were married?

“He Ying peels it better, why should I do it myself?” Jing Dan didn’t get it. He Ying peeled apples way better than she did, and besides, when she peeled apples for her, she would peel water chestnuts for her!

He Ying stifled her laughter, mimicking Jing Dan’s old innocent look, as if Jing Dan was actually bullying her.

Jing Dan obviously noticed, and she tugged on He Ying’s clothes with a pout, grumbling, “You can’t just be invisible. Speak up!”

He Ying blinked innocently, “I’m not being invisible, everyone can see me.”

“But you’re not talking!”

“Didn’t I just say something?”

The two of them talked as if no one else was there. The other elders watched them flirt without a change in their expressions. Finally, they left the two of them and went upstairs to the study to discuss the kids’ marriage.

After the elders left, Jing Dan clung to He Ying, refusing to move unless she fed her the apple herself.

Looking at Jing Dan like this, He Ying tilted her head and thought for a moment, feeling that Jing Dan seemed to be getting more and more clingy. What was going on?

“What kind of wedding do you want?” He Ying fed her a small piece of apple.

“Um,” her expression was a bit conflicted. She looked up at He Ying, “I want both a Chinese and Western-style wedding. What should we do?”

Both wedding dresses looked so beautiful!

“Then we’ll have two weddings!” He Ying didn’t think this was a hard problem to solve.

Jing Dan’s eyes lit up slightly. She propped herself up and gave He Ying a peck on the chin before nestling back into her arms, saying very seriously, “You’re the best!”

He Ying chuckled softly, planning to discuss the wedding details with her, wanting to organize their wedding herself.

If they wanted to plan the wedding on their own, there would be a lot to do. During the time He Ying was covering for Hu Tu, they spent every free moment together planning the wedding. Neither of them wanted the wedding to be too traditional, so they decided to do whatever made them happy.

Their ideas were quite bold—they wanted to have a wedding in the sky. Of course, this sky wedding didn’t mean He Ying would transform into her true form and carry Jing Dan. Instead, they planned to jump from ten thousand meters up, exchanging rings while soaring through the air.

The elders had complex expressions when they heard about this decision. Even though they wanted to object, they couldn’t argue against the determined looks on the couple’s faces, so they let it go in the end.

After all, those two spirits wouldn’t die from a fall. If they did, that would truly be embarrassing for spirits.

In the meantime, Xu Yu came to see He Ying after hearing about her and Jing Dan’s wedding. When she came, He Ying recalled the snakes that had been beaten up by Jing Dan in the Gulong Mountain Range and decided not to bring Jing Dan along, just mentioning it to her.

She was afraid Jing Dan would end up sending Xu Yu flying.

Xu Yu looked at the woman in front of her with a complicated expression. She and He Ying had been friends for many years, and she had also liked her for many years. But she knew she wasn’t right for He Ying. Even knowing it wasn’t right, there was still a sense of unwillingness.

(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)

Why did she have to meet He Ying so late? If she had met her earlier, she could have boldly confessed her feelings.

“Congratulations,” Xu Yu said, feeling a bit bitter inside. Timid love could only ever hear about someone else’s wedding.

He Ying’s face lit up with a gentle smile. “If you’re free on the day of the wedding, would you come over?”

Although preparing for a wedding was a tedious task, whenever she and Jing Dan got together to discuss it, she never felt tired. Each discussion was full of excitement.

Looking at the smile on He Ying’s face, Xu Yu realized that He Ying had changed a lot compared to before. Her previous seemingly approachable smile actually held a sense of distance, but now, her smile could truly make people feel her sincerity.

Xu Yu was a bit stunned. Was He Ying really this happy with Jing Dan?

In the end, she refused He Ying’s invitation. She couldn’t attend He Ying’s wedding as a guest.

Watching Xu Yu’s departing figure, He Ying sighed softly. While she might not have understood Xu Yu’s feelings before, the discord between her and Jing Dan gave her some clues.

However, there would be nothing between them. It was better to maintain the status quo as before, which would be beneficial for both of them.

“What’s wrong? Can’t bear to look away?” Jing Dan’s voice came from nearby, dripping with sarcasm. He Ying turned to see Jing Dan walking over from the adjacent compartment, wearing a slightly displeased expression.

Seeing her like this, He Ying reached out and took her hand that was hanging by her side, smiling, “Always following?”

Jing Dan nodded sulkily.

He Ying chuckled, amused that Jing Dan had secretly followed her despite being told not to. “I wasn’t reluctant to look away. I was just lost in thought.”

Jing Dan snorted and sat beside He Ying, grumbling, “Then kiss me, and I’ll believe you.”

He Ying planted a kiss on her lips and chuckled softly, “Satisfied now?”

Jing Dan was satisfied, and so were the netizens.

—Ah, my CP is so sweet!

—Darn it, why are they so sweet together! Are they both transformed honey or what!

—Can’t they show affection without being so blatant about it!

—To the commenter upstairs, if they weren’t so blatant, you wouldn’t even see them showing affection (doge face.jpg)

The two of them didn’t know their kiss in the restaurant had been secretly captured on camera. It wasn’t until they got back home and Jing Dan checked her phone notifications that they found out. After seeing it clearly, Jing Dan suddenly had an idea. She turned to He Ying and asked, “Should we do a livestream on our wedding day?”

“Hmm? Why?” He Ying was in the middle of taking off her clothes and found the question a bit strange.

“They always say we’re too lovey-dovey. Well, if that’s the case, we might as well officially shower everyone with affection!” She said confidently.

Seeing her like this, He Ying couldn’t help but smile. Nevertheless, she agreed to the idea. Making more people see that Jing Dan was marrying her… It felt really good?

Suddenly, a warm body enveloped her from behind, and at the same time, Jing Dan’s voice, deliberately lowered, came into her ear, “Let me help you change your clothes?”

He Ying: “…”

Later, somehow, as they were changing clothes, it ended up on the bed, and eventually, even the sheets were changed.


The news of the two preparing for their wedding spread like wildfire, quickly sparking heated discussions among the public, especially among their CP fans, who were ecstatic!

—Ah, they finally found happiness!

—They’re in love, they’re getting married, so can I expect them to have a baby next?

—Wow, I want to see what their baby will look like!

Even though their wedding hadn’t started yet, netizens were already urging them to have children. They really wanted to see what the offspring of these two divine beings would look like!

Looking at the online comments, He Ying pondered for a moment. She imagined what it would be like if she and Jing Dan had a child. However, after thinking it through, she felt it was too abstract, not very real, and she couldn’t imagine what it would truly feel like to have a child.

But just as they had decided to form a bond and prepare for the wedding, the idea of having children wasn’t something that needed to be on their agenda right now. The most important thing at the moment was forming the bond.

The group headed to the Panda Clan, where forming a bond was a significant event. In most cases, it was done in front of the entire clan. Jing Li and the other elders picked an auspicious day, and after deciding on it, they informed the clan members to start preparing.

Back at the Panda Clan, they were greeted by Huai Sheng as usual. Standing in front of Jing Dan, Huai Sheng said with profound meaning, “Now that you’re about to form a bond, can we finally let go of the past?”

It was all because of a kiss and holding hands, yet this person had held a grudge for so long.

“Hmph, I’m not holding grudges,” Jing Dan refused to admit it. If she did, wouldn’t it be admitting she was petty?

Huai Sheng smiled but didn’t say anything, then turned to He Ying. “Congratulations. I won’t shake hands with you though, lest someone adds another mark to their little notebook.”

(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)

Jing Dan’s face flushed slightly. She was about to retort, but then she thought better of it. If she argued back, wouldn’t she be admitting to being that “someone”?

He Ying chuckled softly, squeezing Jing Dan’s hand. She turned to Huai Sheng and said, “Congratulations to you too, for successfully becoming the clan leader.”

After the previous leader of the Panda Clan stepped down, Huai Sheng succeeded her position.

Huai Sheng chuckled, and the group stopped exchanging pleasantries, heading straight inside.

“Will you regret it?” He Ying asked Jing Dan, feeling a bit worried that she might regret voluntarily giving up the candidacy for clan leader.

Jing Dan looked at her oddly. “Why would I regret it?” She suppressed a smile. “I didn’t want to be clan leader in the first place. It’s too exhausting! I’d rather just do what we want, like we’re doing now! Besides, Huai Sheng is more suitable for the role than me.”

Choosing the clan leader also involved considering who was better suited to lead the Panda Clan to prosperity. Clearly, Huai Sheng’s temperament was more fitting than hers. If they were to compete, she might not even surpass her.

He Ying pursed her lips, recalling Jing Dan’s past life. Right, if she wanted to be clan leader or something similar, given her status in her past life, she could have easily been elected. Yet, she chose to live alone outside.

Standing on the platform reserved for bonding ceremonies in the clan, surrounded by clan members, ready to witness the moment they bonded.

He Ying looked at Jing Dan, smiling softly, as they tightly interlocked their fingers.


The author has something to say:

Can you smell the ending approaching? (Dog’s head emoji)

There are probably a few more chapters left until the main story concludes. If you want to see some extra stories featuring flying baby pandas, that’s also possible. I hesitated to write about the two women getting pregnant because I was worried about the complications of explaining it. Although I’ve heard that successful experiments have been conducted, if they’re not publicly disclosed, it seems strange from today’s perspective. So, I’ll try to round off the plot as much as possible. Just enjoy the story without delving too deeply into why the two women can get pregnant. After all, reading stories is for happiness! (Lid-lifting emoji)

As for the sequel to the previous life, if she didn’t die, how would Hehe seduce the ancestor? I’ll have to think about it, hahaha.
