Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Chapter 256: New Mission with Generous Rewards!

Su Qinglan soaked in the warm water, her mind drifting to her dwindling supplies. She was nearly out of soap and shampoo, and she really needed some moisturizing cream.

The primitive life was fine for some things, but she missed her modern comforts. "I wonder when the system will finally drop some good stuff for me," she thought.

Just as the thought crossed her mind, a familiar and cheerful DING echoed in her head.

A blue translucent screen flickered into existence right in front of her eyes. She almost giggled when she read the new notification.

[NEW SIDE QUEST MISSION: The Healer’s Reward]

[Objective: Help the females of the newly arrived tribe recover their health.]

[Rewards (Per Female Helped): x1 Full Mega Beauty Kit (Shampoo, Soap, Comb, Moisturizing Cream), x 5 kg High-Quality Flour & 5 kg Rice, x 1 Soft Cotton Maternity Dress.]

[Note: Rewards are stackable. Help 5 females, get 5 rewards!]

Su Qinglan’s eyes widened until they were like dinner plates. This was the best deal she had ever seen! If there were ten females, and she helped all of them, she would have enough shampoo to last for years and a whole wardrobe of comfortable dresses.

"Holy moly, System! You finally learned how to be generous," she whispered, splashing the water in excitement.

"You’ve finally grown a conscience and stopped being so stingy with the rewards."

Xuyu immediately chimed in with a smug tone. "Host, you have finally noticed how hard-working I am. I have been upgrading my protocols so I can "snatch" better missions and rewards for you."

Su Qinglan paused, her eyes narrowing. "Snatch? You mean these aren’t even yours to give? You’re stealing missions from other systems?"

The system went silent for a few seconds before coughing awkwardly.

"Ahem. Host, that is not important. What is important is that another tribe has entered your mountain region, and they have many sick females. If you help them, you will hit the jackpot. You should do this mission as soon as possible."

"Wait, another tribe?" Su Qinglan frowned. "When did this happen? Was I sleeping that soundly?"

"Host, you were... very busy "cultivating" with your husbands," Xuyu teased, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Speaking of which, look at yourself. You are glowing so brightly that I am almost blinded by your radiance."

Su Qinglan’s face turned a deep shade of scarlet. She looked down at her reflection in the clear water.

The system wasn’t lying. Her skin looked smoother than silk, and there was a healthy, vibrant glow to her face that wasn’t there before. She looked like someone who had been pampered in heaven.

"Host is following a very good path," Xuyu continued to laugh. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"The "Dual Cultivation" method is truly the best. Your plant-type energy has already reached Level 4 without using any crystal cores!"

Hu Yan immediately went to empty the tub while Xuan Long helped her into her dress.

Surprisingly, they behaved themselves this time, probably because they knew she was hungry. After she had eaten a hearty meal, Su Qinglan sat down with Hu Yan.

"So, tell me, did something happen while I was asleep?" she said.

Hu Yan explained the negotiation. He told her about the Lion King, the green crystal, and how the tribe was going to stay in the tribe in exchange for hunting and work. He also mentioned the shivering, sick lionesses.

Su Qinglan’s eyes lit up. "Let’s go outside. I want to see them."

Both Hu Yan and Xuan Long looked reluctant. "They are proud predators, Lan Lan. It might be dangerous," Hu Yan warned.

"I’m not staying in this house all day," she insisted. "Besides, I have to check on my mother."

She decided to pay a quick visit to the fake mother first, then head down to the lionesses.

She left the house with Hu Yan trailing behind her like a giant bodyguard. Xuan Long, however, stayed behind. He preferred the quiet of the home over interacting with a bunch of smelly lions.

As she walked through the village, Su Qinglan felt the eyes of the tribe on her. Basically it is more because Bai Ling has successfully given birth without any complications.

She felt stronger, more confident, and ready to claim those bathing kits. If those lionesses needed help, she was going to be the best doctor they ever saw...even if she was doing it for the shampoo!
