Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Caught in the Arms of the Lion King

Lin Muyu finally broke away from the clutches of that stupid, golden lion and ran all the way to the treehouse where Su Qinglan was working. She had heard that Su Qinglan was already there helping the new females with their health.

Lin Muyu was still huffing from her encounter with the "hooligan," but she pushed her anger aside.

Su Qinglan is pregnant, she thought. How can she do all this work alone? She needs someone to help her carry things and boil the water.

Lin Muyu had always helped Su Qinglan gather herbs in the past, so she knew she could be useful here.

When she finally reached the front of the treehouse and stepped inside, the lionesses got tense once again.

Their eyes darted to the door, ready to be defensive. But they immediately relaxed when they saw it was just another female...even if she was a very muddy one.

Su Qinglan looked up from where she was tending to the young girl and smiled brightly. "Lin Muyu! You came at just the right time," she said, sounding relieved.

Lin Muyu wiped some mud off her forehead. "I heard you were here. You shouldn’t be working this hard in your condition, Qinglan!"

Su Qinglan chuckled and pointed to the stone pots. "I’m fine, but I could really use your help. Can you help me make ginger water for everyone? We need to warm their stomachs and get the chill out of their bones."

"On it!" Lin Muyu said, removing her muddy raincoat.

The two of them got busy immediately. While Su Qinglan used her plant energy to check the pulses of the older lionesses, Lin Muyu took over the heavy lifting. She stirred the pots, handed out warm drinks, and helped the females dry their hair.

As they worked, they talked and shared news. Su Qinglan noticed that, surprisingly, the lionesses were in much better condition than the rabbits or foxes would have been.

These females were built differently; they were sturdy and powerful, even if they were currently exhausted. It seemed the Lion Tribe’s bloodline really did make them more resilient to the cold.

"These women are strong," Lin Muyu whispered as she handed a bowl to a shivering lioness. "If it were a female fox soaking in that rain for a week, she would have been bedridden for a month."

Su Qinglan nodded. "They are, but everyone has a limit. The ginger and the herbs will make sure the fever doesn’t take hold."

The atmosphere in the room changed from tense and fearful to warm and cozy. The smell of ginger and herbs filled the air, and the lionesses began to talk softly among themselves, their eyes filled with gratitude.

Lin Muyu felt a sense of pride as she worked alongside Su Qinglan. They were like a team, making sure their new guests were well taken care of.

After making sure all the lionesses had their warm ginger water, Su Qinglan looked toward the door and realized Hu Yan still hadn’t come back. She started to feel a bit worried.

Knowing his personality, he usually wouldn’t leave her alone for more than ten minutes, especially with a hundred strange lions wandering around.

Did he get into a fight? she wondered. Or maybe the treehouse construction is harder than they thought?

She looked back at Lin Muyu, who was currently sitting by the fire. Lin Muyu’s clothes were still damp from the mud and rain, so she was busy drying them and wasn’t going to leave the warm house anytime soon.
