Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Hu Yan’s Advice

After everything finally calmed down inside Bai Ling’s house, Su Qinglan knew it was time to leave.

The cries of newborn cubs had softened into quiet, sleepy sounds, and Bai Ling lay resting. Her fox husband stayed beside her like a guard dog, unwilling to move even a step away. Lin Muyu and her mother were busy, the room warm with relief and happiness.

Su Qinglan stood up slowly, feeling the tiredness catch up to her all at once.

"I’ll go back now," she said gently. "I’ll prepare some medicine for Bai Ling later. Something to help her recover faster."

The fox husband immediately nodded, his eyes full of gratitude. "Thank you," he said sincerely. "We’ll be waiting."

Su Qinglan glanced at Bai Ling one last time. The female was asleep, her face pale but peaceful, three tiny lives now tied to her heartbeat. Su Qinglan smiled faintly, then turned and stepped outside.

The heat hit her immediately.

The sun had not fully set yet. Just as she expected, Han Jue was standing outside, leaning casually against another tree, looking like he had been waiting there for a long time.

When he saw her, he straightened slightly. "Done?"

Su Qinglan walked toward him and smiled. "She gave birth to three."

Han Jue blinked. "Three?"

"And one of them is female."

For a moment, Han Jue froze. Then his eyes widened slowly, and a big smile spread across his face.

"A female..." he repeated softly.

The two of them stood there for a second, both imagining the same thing. A future that felt suddenly brighter.

"That’s good," Han Jue said finally. "Very good."

As Su Qinglan and Han Jue walked back toward their home, the news spread faster than wildfire.

By the time they reached the middle of the tribe, everyone already knew.

"Did you hear? Three cubs!"

"And a female too!"

"It’s been more than ten years!"

"No, thirteen... maybe fourteen!"

People gathered in small groups, voices full of excitement. Some were already discussing gifts, others arguing over what would be most suitable to bring when visiting Bai Ling after a few days.

For almost a year, there had not been a single new cub born in the tribe. Everyone had been tense, worried, and restless. And now, three at once.

And a female.

It felt like the whole tribe had been injected with energy.

When Su Qinglan finally reached home, she felt exhausted.

She changed her clothes, washed herself quickly, and sat down heavily. Hu Yan had already prepared food for her. Just as she picked up her bowl, she suddenly paused.

She looked up at Hu Yan.

"I haven’t seen Rong Ye since morning," she said slowly.

Hu Yan stiffened immediately. Their eyes met. Then he glanced toward Han Jue without saying a word.

Han Jue shook his head slightly.

Hu Yan understood.

"No," Hu Yan said quickly, forcing a smile. "He’s around."

Su Qinglan frowned slightly but did not press further. She was too tired to argue, and honestly, Rong Ye throwing tantrums was not exactly new.

Meanwhile, outside.

Rong Ye had been sulking for a very, very long time.

He sat on a stone, arms crossed tightly, ears drooping, tail flicking angrily behind him. No one had come to look for him. Not even once.

The sun had already started to dip, and still nothing.

Did Su Qinglan not wake up?

Or worse, did she wake up and not even ask where he was?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"She doesn’t care at all," he muttered. "Not even a little."

He clenched his fists.

He even imagined himself beating Han Jue. Then immediately imagined losing. That made him even angrier.

With a loud huff, he finally stood up. "Fine," he said to himself. "If no one cares, then I’ll go back myself."

As he passed by the other house, he glanced inside briefly. The female they had rescued earlier was awake now. She sat quietly, always silent. Rong Ye and Hu Yan had taken care of her while Su Qinglan was busy, but she still had not spoken much. Just nodding, just staying silent.

Rong Ye snorted and continued on.

When he entered the main house, the first thing he saw was Su Qinglan eating calmly.

She looked up.
