Panda Cub – Chapter 70.2

Fierce

Last time, the two of them sneaked off to the Gulong Mountain Range before she scolded them.

“Mom, how could I not be able to handle it!” Jing Dan also said seriously.

If you say she couldn’t handle it before, she admits it, but if you say she can’t handle it now, she will never admit it!

Jing Li suddenly choked up, remembering the majestic aura she had felt before, and fell silent.

It seems like it really worked.

Now that the soul merging issue had been resolved, Jing Li and the others decided to leave the small building.

“Sister…” Jing Shiyue hesitated, as the majestic aura from Jing Dan earlier made her feel a bit familiar. She had a feeling that Jing Dan’s past life was not that simple.

Jing Li raised her hand to stop her from saying more, showing a slightly relieved smile. “Since she doesn’t want us to know, let’s just pretend we don’t know.”

“She is my daughter, your niece.”

Jing Shiyue fell silent for a moment, then nodded, “You’re right.”

On the side, Qiu Shuhuai didn’t know what they were talking about, but she decided not to ask too many questions.

After Jing Li and the others left, He Yuan also stood up, dusted off her sleeves, and went back to her room, leaving the two of them downstairs exchanging glances.

He Yan suddenly chuckled and asked, “Do you want some milk now?”

Jing Dan looked outside at the sky, realizing it was already afternoon. She nodded and said, “I still want to eat your cooking!”

“Hmm?” He Ying raised an eyebrow, “But there are no ingredients here?”

“Someone will come to deliver them soon!” Jing Dan said with a hint of pride.

He Ying chuckled, “Then I’ll go prepare some milk for you first.”

Following her, Jing Dan arrived in the kitchen, watching her every move with fascination. She took a few steps forward, hugged her from behind, and lazily said, “I’m actually quite grateful for the appearance of that black snake suddenly. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be like this now.”

If she had returned safely that year, she would have undoubtedly treated He Ying as a little cub to raise. After nurturing such a scenario for a long time, the affection between them would only be that of a mother and daughter.

He Ying fell silent upon hearing her words. Indeed, what she said was true. However, just the thought of Jing Dan dying so lonely made it somewhat unacceptable to He Ying.

“In comparison to being mother and daughter, I would much rather be your lover,” Jing Dan tightened her arms around He Ying’s waist and leaned in to nibble on her earlobe softly, saying, “I enjoy sleeping with you naked.”

He Ying: “…”

Due to her actions, He Ying let out a stifled gasp. She grabbed Jing Dan’s hand, which was about to slip under her blouse, and whispered hoarsely, “Mom is still here.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve set up a barrier,” Jing Dan lightly nibbled, smiling with narrowed eyes. She was someone who came prepared!

He Ying glanced at the corner of her eye and indeed felt a subtle spiritual fluctuation around her.

“…” Well, I’ve learned my lesson now.

She chuckled, “But it’s still risky. Who knows when Mom might come out? What will we do then?”

Handing her the cup of milk she had prepared, she stifled a laugh and said, “Drink your milk.”

Holding the cup of milk, Jing Dan realized that although it used to be her favorite, in this moment, she found He Ying more delicious than the milk.

He Ying turned to look at Jing Dan, noticing a slight frown on her face. She leaned in close and whispered in her ear, “Wait until bedtime.”

Jing Dan’s eyes sparkled slightly, then she gracefully removed the barrier and began to slowly drink the milk in the cup.

He Ying found it amusing but just then, they heard a noise outside the door. She went to check and indeed found someone delivering a large package of ingredients.

“Thank you, you’ve been a great help,” He Ying sincerely expressed her gratitude.

“No problem, it’s not a big deal. I just didn’t expect you all to still be eating,” the person scratched their head, considering that spirits don’t really need to eat.

“Eat, satisfy your cravings,” He Ying chuckled, especially when there’s a foodie at home, indulging in food becomes even more important.

The person chuckled and didn’t say much more, simply handing over the items to He Ying before leaving.

He Ying turned back and saw Jing Dan coming over to help carry the items. She asked her, “What do you want to eat?”

Jing Dan, without hesitation, said while carrying things, “I’ll eat anything you make!”

Speaking without hesitation, it was evident that she had extreme trust in her.

He Ying was pleased by her words and quickly took a few steps to catch up with her. She planted a kiss on Jing Dan’s cheek and said with a smile, “Reward for you.”

Jing Dan’s steps abruptly stopped, and she turned to look at He Ying. “Do you like hearing those words?”

“Hmm?” He Ying looked at her with some confusion. What did she mean by whether she liked hearing those words? Wasn’t she genuinely happy with what was said just now?

“Well then, if I say it again, will you kiss me again?” Jing Dan suggested.

“Uh…” He Ying was at a loss for words, but before she could say anything, the two of them heard a light cough from the hall, followed by the gentle voice of He Yuan.

“If you want to get intimate, do it in the room.”

He Ying was instantly embarrassed, her face almost turning red immediately, feeling awkward as she glanced somewhat sheepishly at He Yuan inside the house.

However, Jing Dan seemed unfazed by the situation, and after a moment of thought, she nodded seriously and said, “We should go back to the room. It will be much more convenient for any intimacy there!”

Cough, cough! He Ying’s face quickly flushed red. She couldn’t face the two of them and, grabbing the items, hurriedly ran into the kitchen.

And He Yuan: “…” Is this person really still clueless?

Jing Dan showed no signs of awkwardness and followed He Ying into the kitchen with the items.

Shortly after, He Ying peeked out from the kitchen and asked He Yuan, “Mom, would you like something to eat?”

He Yuan replied, “…” It turns out she still remembers her.

“Whatever,” she said softly.

He Ying: “… Don’t use that word in the future.”

At this moment, Jing Dan also peeked out and said very seriously, “It’s easy to annoy people. If you really don’t know what to eat, you can say you want to eat whatever she’ll make.”

He Ying looked at her with deep meaning in her eyes, even the words she spoke carried a hint of depth. “So, were you just teasing me earlier?”

Jing Dan immediately turned to look at her, confidently refuting, “Of course not! It was a sincere statement to you!”

Seeing her like this, He Ying let out a soft snort. “I’ll trust you for now.”

He Yuan in the hall watched the two of them playfully bicker with an expressionless face, then turned indifferently to go back to her room, freeing up space for them to enjoy themselves.

Seeing He Yuan return to her room, Jing Dan immediately became more unrestrained and turned back to stick close to He Ying.

“Don’t hug me, go wash the vegetables,” He Ying whispered.

“Then you kiss me first,” Jing Dan brought her face close to He Ying, her eyes sparkling with a subtle gleam.

He Ying’s gaze unconsciously fell on her fair and delicate cheek, and as if bewitched, she leaned in and gave her a kiss. “Can you go wash the vegetables now?”

Jing Dan was satisfied and turned her head to peck He Ying’s lips. “Okay.”

He Ying stood frozen in place with the knife in hand, unsure if it was just her imagination, but she felt like Jing Dan had become a lot more cunning now…

She shook her head. The old Jing Dan was also cunning, just easily swayed by a bottle of milk. She stole a glance at the earnestly washing vegetables Jing Dan, wondering if a bottle of milk could still solve things now.

“Oh, by the way, what do you think about the Black Snake situation?” Jing Dan placed the cleaned vegetable leaves aside and turned to look at He Ying.

He Ying paused with the knife in hand, a hint of contemplation on her face. “If he were to find you, it might cause unrest in the human world.” With that, she turned to look at Jing Dan. “What about you? What do you think?”

Jing Dan brought over some more vegetables and washed them slowly. She said, “My thoughts are the same as yours. The Gulong Mountain Range has few inhabitants, so if someone dies in there, no one will discover it.”

Although the Gulong Mountain Range is considered the Black Snake’s stronghold, during the ambush, she did not pay much attention to the Black Snake. That’s why the Black Snake dared to strike only when she was severely injured.

He Ying looked at Jing Dan’s expression. Despite discussing such a matter, her face remained as calm as if discussing the weather.

After drying her hands, He Ying approached Jing Dan, held her face in her hands, and locked eyes with her. “Jing Dan, you are very happy in this life, so I hope you can truly accept who you are now.”

She was cherished and loved by everyone, like a flower tenderly nurtured with love. She hoped that she could enjoy the beauty of the world and not be trapped in the loneliness of the past.

Jing Dan looked at He Ying and smiled at her, saying, “If I didn’t accept it, I would have told them that I am their ancestor, and I wouldn’t have transformed into my true form for them to hold.”

She gently rubbed He Ying’s palm with her face and softly said, “Don’t worry, I just need some time to fully transition.”

Even though the time she has lived in this life is much shorter than in the previous life, this life has made her feel the meaning of living even more.

She has family, friends, and a lover whom she deeply loves. This life should be the one she cherishes and nurtures with care.

Hearing her words, He Ying’s face showed a slightly relaxed smile. “I will be with you to adapt together.”

“Okaaaay~” Jing Dan elongated her tone, smiling brightly at He Ying.

After preparing dinner together, the two of them went to knock on He Yuan’s door. Jing Dan cheerfully called out, “Mom, it’s time for dinner, dinner, dinner~”

The door opened, revealing He Yuan’s serene face behind it. She glanced at Jing Dan and said, “I can hear you, no need to call out like a wandering ghost.”

“You’re not a ghost, Mom.” Jing Dan tilted her head.

He Yuan: “…” Why does it feel like she has a hard time arguing with her?

She sat down at the dining table, looking at the dishes. Although she had said it’s casual, there were many things she liked to eat.

He Yuan lowered her gaze. Reflecting on it now, He Ying had always been a qualified daughter, while she herself was not a competent mother.

Suddenly, a pair of chopsticks picked up a dish and placed it in front of her bowl. Following the chopsticks, she saw Jing Dan’s serious face.

“…”

“Mom, eat!” Jing Dan added.

“…” With her acting like this, it was really hard to continue thinking about anything else.

After helping each of them with a bite of food, she slowly began to eat.

Watching her start eating, He Ying and the others also started eating. Jing Dan even proudly said, “Mom, the vegetable you’re eating was washed by me!”

He Yuan: “…It’s really clean.”

Jing Dan pursed her lips and smiled, giving He Ying a smug look.

He Ying chuckled on the side and offered to serve both of them some food.

After finishing dinner and tidying up, Jing Dan pulled He Ying back to their room.

As soon as they entered the room, Jing Dan pushed He Ying into the bathroom and went to find some clean clothes to bring in. Seeing He Ying standing there dumbfounded, she asked with some confusion, “Why aren’t you taking off your clothes?”

He Ying: “…Why do I need to take off my clothes?”

She guessed Jing Dan’s intentions but didn’t expect Jing Dan to accept this idea so calmly and skillfully. After all, it was their first time showering together!

“Let’s shower together!” Jing Dan confidently declared, raising the clothes she had brought for both of them.

He Ying: “…” Was she the only one feeling embarrassed?

After Jing Dan put away the clothes, she took the initiative to help He Ying undress. Seeing He Ying standing there in a daze as if she hadn’t fully understood, Jing Dan stopped and began removing her own clothes.

“Mom said to be intimate in the room, and now that we’re in the room, we can start being intimate!”

“Remember to be a bit more passionate.”

It’s so hot when the power went out, hot to the point that I’m going crazy (tears)
