Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Su Qinglan Visits Tu Ruyan’s Home

In the light rain outside, Tu Yelang walked slowly through the damp soil, listening to the quiet sniffles, the whispers, and the muffled cries.

His tribe was exhausted.

As he stepped back into the tree house where several males were staying, they all looked up.

"Leader Yelang!" Tu Xiaofei stood abruptly. "We will go hunt soon! We need to urgently find food."

Tu Yelang raised a hand. "We’ll hunt together. I’ll lead."

The boys straightened immediately, relief flashing in their eyes.

One whispered, "Leader... we’ll survive, right?"

Yelang forced a smile. "Of course. We have already found the place to stay, we just have to make sure no one goes hungry."

There was a moment of silence, then all of them nodded firmly.

And yet...

As Yelang turned away, the image of Su Qinglan drifted into his mind again.

His heart squeezed painfully.

"She... she’s like a light," he whispered to himself. "A sun."

But then he remembered the three beast husbands who surrounded her like her personal guard.

Yelang shivered. He wasn’t stupid.

He knew he was nothing compared to them.

He was a little rabbit. A poor beastman. A temporary leader with no power, no strength, and no tribe backing.

He looked down at his trembling hands.

"...I shouldn’t dream."

He exhaled, forcing his racing heart to calm.

"My tribe needs me more than my foolish heart does."

He turned away from the tree window with a stiffened jaw.

He had no right to love someone like her.

Not when he couldn’t even protect his own tribe properly.

***

Su Qinglan and Hu Yan slowly reached the place where the rabbit tribe was staying, and coincidentally the house they went to first was actually Ruyan’s, the rabbit leader’s sister.

Looking at the female she had only met once, Ruyan felt her eyes clouding with tears. How could someone be so gentle and kind... she had never seen anyone help like this.

Ruyan shyly muttered, "Thank you... really... thank you," and Su Qinglan lightly tapped her forehead with one finger and said, "You don’t have to thank me so much, just recover properly."

Then she looked at the beast husband again and said in a serious voice, "And listen carefully, only give her boiled water to drink, nothing else. Don’t use water from puddles, rivers, or any dirty place. Collect fresh rainwater only. Rainwater is clean here, but you must still boil it until steam comes out strongly. Boil it for a long time, then cool it down, and only then give it to her. This way she will not fall sick from dirty water," and he quickly nodded again, saying, "Yes, I understand, I will only use rainwater."

Su Qinglan was about to stand and leave when she suddenly heard soft footsteps and small whispers from outside, and when she turned she saw many other beast pupils slowly peeking inside the tree house with extremely cautious expressions because they had heard that the fox female had returned.

They wanted to see whether it was true or not because even though they were curious, they were much more afraid, because no one had ever treated their females with so much kindness, and they still couldn’t fully believe it.

They feared that if Su Qinglan changed her mind then they would lose all hope, so they came quietly and gathered around the entrance hoping to not miss anything.

Su Qinglan looked at them and smiled because she felt relieved that she didn’t have to walk from one tree house to another.

"Since you are already here, come inside one by one. I will treat everyone right here," and all the pupils became tense and excited at the same time, and they stepped inside carefully, and the tree house suddenly felt full because they all stood around in a circle while the little cubs clung to their mothers’ legs.

Su Qinglan repeated all the instructions in a clear voice, "You must give all females only boiled rainwater, no other water, and if any female feels cold then give her ginger water the same way I explained."

The beast husbands listened seriously with their ears pointed upright because they didn’t want to make any mistakes, and the females nodded shyly because they rarely received such attention.

Then Su Qinglan took out more ginger pieces and handed one to every female beast and said, "This can be used by all of you. It will help keep the body warm, especially at night, so boil it properly before drinking," and the females accepted it like they had been given a treasure and held it carefully with both hands.

After giving all instructions, Su Qinglan stood up, brushed her clothes, and said with a small sigh, "Alright, this should be enough for today. Take care of each other properly," and the entire house filled with grateful voices as they thanked her again and again while she prepared to leave.
