Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 324

Chapter 324: Chapter 324: The Marriage Discussed Without the Bride

Su Mingxuan looked at the bowing Lion King, his mind racing. He knew that having the Lions as permanent members would make the Fox Tribe the most powerful force in the forest. No one would ever dare to attack them again.

But he also knew exactly which "Fox female" the Lion King was likely looking at.

Su Mingxuan’s expression changed 360 degrees in an instant. The stern, guarded look vanished, replaced by a thoughtful and almost calculating gleam in his eyes.

He was a father and a leader, and he had quickly connected all the dots. He hadn’t missed that fleeting, intense gaze Shi Feng had directed at Su Qinglan.

As a father, Su Mingxuan’s heart actually felt a wave of relief.

In this dangerous beast world, a female was never truly safe unless she had overwhelming protection.

His daughter was exceptional...she was beautiful, smart, and had a mysterious power that brought prosperity to the tribe.

To Su Mingxuan, it only made sense that she should have the most powerful husbands possible. If the Lion King himself wanted to join their family, it wouldn’t just be a gain for Su Qinglan; it would be the ultimate shield for the entire Fox Tribe.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room shifted from a tense negotiation to a warm, harmonious chat.

Su Mingxuan and Shi Feng began to talk like old friends, exchanging hints and subtle nods that showed they both understood exactly what was being proposed.

"If a King is willing to show such sincerity," Su Mingxuan said with a knowing smile, "then I suppose a merger is not only possible but very welcome. We would need a strong connection to bind our people together forever."

Shi Feng nodded, his expression softening but his eyes remaining focused. "I agree, Tribe Leader. A strong bond is the only way to ensure we are one family."

The two men continued to converse in perfect harmony, their words full of hidden meanings about "loyalty," "protection," and "the best female."

The only one left completely in the dark was Su Qinglan. She stood between them, looking from her father to the Lion King with a confused expression.

She was totally oblivious to the fact that she was the main target of their hearty conversation.

What are they so happy about all of a sudden? she wondered. She thought they were just talking about land, hunting rights, and tribal laws. She had no idea that her father was practically preparing to hand her the "Lion King" as her next husband.

Inside her pocket, the tiny snake Xiao San flicked his tongue.

Unlike his mother, the hatchling could sense the competitive energy radiating from the Lion King.

He let out a tiny, sharp hiss from the depths of the fabric, sensing that the big family was about to get a very large addition of a golden lion.

Su Qinglan patted her pocket to quiet the cub. "Why is everyone smiling?" she asked, looking at Shi Feng. "Is the merger really going to be that easy?"

Shi Feng looked down at her, a rare, genuine spark of warmth in his golden eyes. "Yes, female Qinglan," he said softly. "I think it will be much easier than you think."

Su Mingxuan leaned back, the tension completely drained from his shoulders. He looked at Shi Feng with the eyes of a seasoned leader and a protective father.
