[Quick Transmigration] The Clingy Spirit of the Blackened Male Supporting Character - Chapter 91

The little leopard sensed the intimidating aura and took a step back. Its round eyes darted around, its back arched. But when it saw Luo Ning’s smiling eyes, it bravely approached and got closer to Luo Ning’s side.

The little leopard really liked Luo Ning’s scent. It was fresh and warm like the first green shoots of spring.

Luo Ning liked fluffy creatures. Seeing those plump, round ears made his fingers twitch with the urge to pet it.

But Lin Ze quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him into his arms. He threw a cold glance at the now-approaching leopard and said disdainfully, “Ning Ning, it’s dirty. Stay away from it.”

“It’s eaten enough, it should leave now.”

Luo Ning retorted, “But the leopard cub is so cute. Why are you so resistant to him?”

A thoughtful look flashed in the little leopard’s eyes. It was quite clever and had grown fond of this gentle female uncle.

Even though the dangerous snake beastman had been subtly intimidating, it felt that if it could please the female uncle, the snake wouldn’t dare to attack.

The little leopard’s gaze was focused on the roasted fish. It let out a soft whine, stretched its body, and rolled around on the ground, its ears shaking in a cute display.

Luo Ning’s eyes brightened, feeling like a big cat was being affectionate in front of him. He offered a piece of meat, and the little leopard swished its tail joyfully.

Lin Ze took a deep breath, feeling irritated. The little black creature was becoming even more bothersome. But what could he do when he was completely bald, without a single hair? He knew that long-haired beastmen were more popular with the females, but seeing this little leopard cub rolling around made it seem even more foolish. It looked quite ugly.

He pushed the roasted meat towards it, telling it to eat up and then get lost. Once the little leopard’s belly was full, he couldn’t help but grab it by the scruff of its neck, lifting it and tossing it into the grass. His eyes turned into vertical pupils as he hissed threateningly, warning the little thing not to come any closer.

Luo Ning chuckled and muttered, “It’s just a cub. Do you really need to make such a sour face?”

Lin Ze pressed his lips together. No matter how young, it was still a male. He said, “That cub needs to leave. If it stays any longer, it’ll be dark soon.”

“Ning Ning, it’s getting a bit chilly. Let’s go into the cave and warm up by the fire. Didn’t you say you wanted to make some jerky yesterday? We can talk about it inside.”

Mentioning this shifted Luo Ning’s attention away from the little leopard. He remembered he needed to roast meat, brew fruit tea, and sew blankets. He quickly pulled Lin Ze’s hand and went back to work.

The door of their home was made of thick wooden planks, which blocked the wind outside. Inside, it was warm and cozy. Luo Ning prepared to sew thick animal skin blankets for warmth in the winter.

As dusk fell outside, he vaguely heard some shouting—unfamiliar voices.

Luo Ning frowned. Whose voices were those? He remembered it was just him and Lin Ze here. Who could it be?

Lin Ze felt interrupted and impatiently set down the wood he was working with. With a stern face, he stepped out of the cave. He looked at the couple outside and said coldly, “What are you shouting about?”

The couple was about to say something when a little leopard bumped into their legs. They immediately breathed a sigh of relief. One petite, delicate female quickly scooped up the little leopard and smiled. apologetically.

It turned out that Lin Ze had tossed the little leopard away earlier, but the little leopard couldn’t resist coming back to eat and had delayed returning home. The couple was worried and had followed the scent to find their son.

“Awo!” The little leopard knew it had made a mistake and apologized obediently. It had never made such a mistake before, but today it had eaten and played happily, even meeting a particularly nice female uncle. Because of its unusual eyes, the little leopard had never experienced kindness from anyone other than its male and female parents, so it felt especially fond of Luo Ning.

Lin Ze glanced at them but wasn’t interested in saying more. He turned around and wanted to carry Luo Ning back to the cave. He found that family of three troublesome and didn’t want to waste time. He wanted to rest with his partner in their nest.

Then the male leopard spoke up. Seeing his son’s full belly, he understood that the cub had eaten well and didn’t mind Lin Ze’s cold attitude. He thanked them, saying, “Tomorrow I’ll bring back a prey as a token of my gratitude.”

The petite female also chimed in, “Tak has caused you trouble.”

Luo Ning waved his hand. “It’s no problem. This little cub is very well-behaved and didn’t eat much, so there’s no need to be so polite.”

The petite female smiled gently. “Then let’s go gather wild vegetables together tomorrow. We plan to stay here, so it would be nice to have a friend. My name is Shui Yue. What’s yours?”

Shui Yue looked at Luo Ning and felt a sense of goodwill. His son had been mocked and ostracized by the tribe, leading him to wander away. Now seeing Luo Ning living with a wandering beastman, he felt they shared something in common and wanted to befriend him. He believed that it was important to establish good relations in this area.

Luo Ning was a bit surprised, while Lin Ze furrowed his brows tightly. Why were they planning to stay?

Lin Ze was unhappy. He and his partner were enjoying a peaceful and happy life together, with only each other. He didn’t like the sudden intrusion of three troublemakers. Lin Ze disliked this feeling. It was enough for him and Ning Ning here, and everything else was unnecessary.

He narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing as he said meaningfully, “This is my territory.”

Lin Ze had already claimed this land. His domineering nature wouldn’t allow anyone to settle here.

However, the black leopard beastman smiled amiably. “It’s fine, we’ll keep our distance and won’t encroach on your territory.”

Lin Ze was somewhat satisfied with this response. If they had disagreed, he wouldn’t have hesitated to fight. Although he still felt displeased that this family of three was living so far away, he couldn’t force them to leave the forest.

Lin Ze shot them a cold look, effectively signaling them to leave. Only after the family of three departed did his expression soften a bit. He pulled Luo Ning close, burying his face in Luo Ning’s neck, and complained, “They’re so noisy.”

Luo Ning smiled. “They didn’t even say much.”

Lin Ze bit Luo Ning’s neck. “I just don’t like them.”

Luo Ning didn’t understand why Lin Ze was so offended. Clearly, the family had been quite polite.

But since Lin Ze was unhappy, he gently stroked Lin Ze’s hair to soothe him. “It’s okay, we won’t see them often in the future.”

Lin Ze hummed in agreement, his breath warm against Luo Ning’s ear as he said softly, “Ning Ning, I’m hungry. I want something sweet.”

Luo Ning thought he hadn’t eaten enough earlier. “Shall we roast some sweet potatoes?”

But the next moment, Lin Ze teased, “I’ll eat you, that’s enough.”

Luo Ning’s ears turned red, and he tugged on Lin Ze’s ear. This lecherous snake always liked to say such suggestive things.

…

Lin Ze assumed he wouldn’t see that family of three again, given how vast the forest was. But when he returned from hunting, he found his partner talking with the female named Shui Yue.

He frowned, and hearing that they planned to go gather wild fruits, he was momentarily stunned. He used to accompany Luo Ning to gather fruits, and now this unfamiliar female was trying to take his place beside his partner.

Lin Ze instantly felt displeased. What was going on? Why were they intruding again?

The leopard was fast, so it wouldn’t take long for the family to show up. That family of three was indeed a huge nuisance, disrupting his world with Luo Ning.

Luo Ning smiled awkwardly. Seeing Lin Ze’s expression, he understood his partner’s feelings, but he couldn’t refuse Shui Yue.

Moreover, Shui Yue was a nice person. Although he felt very happy with Lin Ze, he also wanted a friend to help each other out in the future.

He discreetly squeezed Lin Ze’s hand and comforted him by saying, “We’ll stay nearby, we won’t wander far.”

Seeing that Lin Ze still wanted to follow, he helplessly stopped him. “The chickens at home laid eggs. You should go collect them.”

Although in Luo Ning’s eyes everyone was a man, in this forest he and Shui Yue were both females, and Shui Yue appeared quite timid. The cold atmosphere Lin Ze exuded would only make things awkward.

Luo Ning walked away with Shui Yue, who softly said, “Ning Ning, your male looks fierce. Does he usually hit you?”

“Are you not afraid of him?”

Luo Ning chuckled. “How could I be?”

Behind them, Lin Ze’s ears perked up, feeling even more irritated!

Fortunately, Shui Yue knew his place and understood Lin Ze’s displeasure. After asking Luo Ning how to make roasted fish, he was quickly taken away by his partner.

Luo Ning smiled, kissed the corner of Lin Ze’s mouth, and said softly, “Why are you still upset? Is your possessiveness this strong?”

Lin Ze hugged him tighter, deepening the kiss, and said with grievance, “Ning Ning, I’m enough.”

Luo Ning understood his thoughts. “But this forest doesn’t belong to you. You can’t just force people away, right?”

“They’re just here for a little while. They won’t disturb us.”

“Lin Ze, having you is enough, but having another friend makes me happy.”

After some affectionate kisses and hugs, Luo Ning managed to cheer up his grumpy partner.

That day, after returning from the river with Lin Ze, carrying the taro he had just discovered, they suddenly heard a sobbing sound in the woods.

Luo Ning exchanged glances with Lin Ze. It wasn’t Shui Yue’s voice. Who could it be? Why was the forest so lively these days, and why did it seem like they kept encountering things?

Luo Ning tugged at Lin Ze and asked, “Who is it?”

From the grass ahead came a figure—a female they didn’t recognize. The female looked quite pretty, but his cheeks were thin and haggard. He was standing warily not far away and crying continuously. Then as if remembering something, he choked back his sobs and said, “Help me. I beg you, save me.”

He was a bit afraid of Lin Ze but felt that Luo Ning was harmless. His friend was injured and unconscious, and he had no choice but to seek help.

Luo Ning frowned. “What happened?”

The female cried, “My friend is unconscious and seriously injured. Please, help me save him.”

Lin Ze frowned. He didn’t want to get involved in trouble. He wasn’t a kind-hearted beastman. But the female was blocking their way, preventing them from passing.

Hearing that someone was seriously injured and seeing the female crying so pitifully, Luo Ning’s heart softened a little. He said to Lin Ze, “How about we go take a look?”
