Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Silly Lion

Su Qinglan realized that the giant lion in front of her had turned into a literal statue. He wasn’t moving, wasn’t speaking, and was just blocking the path with a look of pure shock on his face.

She had come here with Hu Yan, but he had been pulled away by some fox beastmen who were confused about how to finish the internal carving of the tree houses.

Hu Yan didn’t want to leave her alone, but Su Qinglan pointed out that the area was crowded with their own tribe members.

"What could happen to me? I’ll just go inside where the females are huddled. You come find me when you’re done," she had coaxed him.

Hu Yan eventually let her go, but she never expected to run into a "silly lion" like this one.

Since he wouldn’t move, she just thought he was a bit slow in the head.

She stepped around his massive frame and kept walking toward the tree house where the females were. She completely ignored him, focused on her mission to get those system rewards.

Behind her, Shi Kuang stood with a giant question mark over his head. He watched her walk away, his jaw still hanging open.

One second she was there, and the next, she was gone.

"Where did the female go?" he suddenly shouted, his voice echoing like a confused cub.

"I’ve never seen eyes that beautiful! I want to see her again!"

He started sniffing the air, captivated by her fragrant scent, which was a mix of sweet flowers and rain.

He began tracking her toward the female quarters. However, when he reached the door, he stopped. Even a hot-headed lion like him knew it wasn’t good to barge into a room full of females he wasn’t related to or mated with.

If they called him a "hooligan," his entire alpha-male aura would be ruined forever. He decided to stay outside and peek through the cracks in the fence like a peeping tom.

Su Qinglan looked back and saw the "silly lion" peeking at her. He immediately ducked his head when their eyes met.

She couldn’t help but feel a bit confused. Hu Yan had described lions as terrifying, bloodthirsty predators, but all she saw was a clumsy big cat who couldn’t even walk straight.

Almost all the other lions had shifted to human form to work, so this guy was the only one still in beast form, making him look even more ridiculous.

She sighed, dismissed him from her mind, and stepped into the tree house.

The female lions inside were huddled together around the fire bowl, looking tense and suspicious of the stranger.

Su Qinglan took off her leafy hat and raincoat, leaving them outside the gate so the water wouldn’t drip on the floor.

Shi Kuang, peeking from the shadows, felt his heart break into a million pieces.

Now that the raincoat was off, he could see her properly. She had long, wavy hair the color of a sunset cascading down her back.

Almost all the lionesses he knew were skinny and looked like they would break, but this female was plump, soft, and healthy. Her cheeks were flushed pink from the cold, and she looked like a goddess.

Then his eyes traveled lower. He saw her prominent baby bump.
