Beastmen cubs, before they transform into human form, look no different from ordinary wild animal cubs in appearance.
Therefore, Sally was not certain whether this little black panther was a beastmen cub or a wild animal cub. However, given its notably spiritual nature, it was more likely to be a beastmen cub.
She stroked the little black panther's round, rolling head.
It reminded her of her first child. She regretted having never seen it before it was taken away.
She wondered where it was now, probably still in the Senyu Beast Forest.
The Senyu Beast Forest spanned a vast area across the Western District and Eastern District. Even if one traveled a thousand miles a day, it would take a year to go from one end to the other. Moreover, there were numerous natural barriers; the big black panther carrying the cub couldn't possibly have moved too quickly.
So she hadn't considered that this little black panther could be her child.
