Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372: Chapter 372: The Curious Mermaid Tribe

Still, the scar chested warrior frowned. "The Silver Wave Sea is very far from here. Even with strong currents, it would be difficult to drift this far."

He looked at them carefully. "Why did you not swim toward the nearest mermaid tribe? Our territory is not far away from here."

Lan Yue lowered her head, looking even more pitiful. "We did not know where we were. The water was full of blood and beasts. We were only trying to protect the cubs and stay alive."

At the mention of the cubs, several of the young men softened immediately. They looked at the small, trembling bundles clinging to Su Qinglan.

"So small..."

"They must be exhausted."

"They look hungry."

One of them scratched his cheek shyly. "Females... would you like to come to our tribe? It is safer there. We have warm caves, and plenty of fish."

Another added quickly, "Yes, yes! You cannot stay out here. The open sea is dangerous."

The bold one who had been slapped earlier nodded eagerly. "We will protect you. No beast will dare come near our tribe."

Lan Yue glanced at Su Qinglan, her eyes asking silently.

Around them, the sea shimmered, and the group of mermaid men floated expectantly, looking at them like a school of hopeful puppies waiting for an answer.

One of the younger mermaid men slowly drifted closer, his eyes fixed on the small bundle in Su Qinglan’s arms.

"Female... can I touch the cub?" he asked carefully. "It is so small."

Su Qinglan blinked, slightly stunned by the request. Instinctively, she looked at Lan Yue. She was new to the sea and knew nothing about the character of these Sea Tribe men. If they meant harm, she would not even know how to escape in this endless water.

Lan Yue studied the young man for a moment. His eyes were bright and curious, not cruel. There was no killing intent, only pure fascination.

Before she could speak, the young man hurriedly added, "I have never seen a land cub before. They are so small... I just want to see it closer."

Su Qinglan hesitated, but she did not feel any danger from him. The cubs were already tired, and these men seemed more like excited children than warriors.

After a moment, she carefully lifted Xiao Yi and held him out. "Be gentle."

The young man’s face lit up. He carefully took Xiao Yi in both hands, as if holding something extremely precious.

Xiao Yi was never shy around strangers. He stared at the man with clear, curious eyes.

But suddenly, his nose twitched.

His round eyes became even rounder.

Why did this man smell like a very tasty fish?

Xiao Yi leaned forward slightly, sniffing again. His tiny mouth opened wide.

"Awoo!"

Two tiny white teeth peeked out as he tried to take a bite.

The young man froze for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Hahaha! It seems the cub is hungry!"

The others also laughed, their earlier tension completely gone.

"Look at his teeth!"

"He is trying to eat you!"

"What a fierce little cub!"

The scar chested warrior shook his head, but even he had a faint smile. "Enough playing. We should return to the tribe. The cubs look exhausted."
