Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 539

Chapter 539: Chapter 539: A Slap for the Arrogant Beastman

For a brief moment, he wondered if it was simply his imagination, or if this female was truly that skilled at pretending.

A faint smile curved his lips as he answered slowly, his tone still gentle.

"Just a passerby. I saw you here alone and came to take a look." His gaze drifted to the fish lying on the ground before returning to her, lingering with quiet scrutiny.

"A female who can hunt like this..." he added meaningfully, "that’s quite rare."

Su Qinglan lowered her head further, her fingers tightening ever so slightly as though she were nervous.

"I... I was just trying my luck..." she replied softly, her voice careful and restrained, her posture perfectly embodying the image of a harmless female.

Yet beneath that flawless act, her mind was anything but calm.

Every nerve in her body was drawn tight, alert and ready. Because she knew very well this man standing in front of her was far from harmless.

Rong Yanchen stood by the river with a faint smile, his eyes fixed on Su Qinglan as if he had found something interesting.

His tone was casual, almost gentle, as he asked, "Are you a female from Dragon Beast City?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Su Qinglan lowered her head slightly and nodded. "Yes," she answered softly.

Rong Yanchen narrowed his eyes just a little. "Strange. I have never seen you before."

Hearing this, Su Qinglan almost rolled her eyes.

Was he someone who knew every single female in the city?

How could he say such nonsense so confidently?

But on the surface, she only gave a polite and shy smile. "I just came of age... and I don’t go out much. I’m very shy," she said in a soft voice.

Rong Yanchen’s lips curved slightly as he repeated her words, "A shy female?" He clicked his tongue lightly and added, "I have never seen a shy female hunt like this."

Su Qinglan’s fingers twitched slightly. She was already getting annoyed, but she held it in. She lowered her gaze again, pretending to be embarrassed, while inside she was already cursing him countless times.

Why was this man even here talking nonsense with her?

Did he recognize her?

But if he did, why was he not capturing her? What exactly was he trying to do?

Before she could think further, Rong Yanchen stepped closer. Without any hesitation, he reached down and picked up one of the fish from the ground, casually inspecting it.

The moment she saw him touch it, Su Qinglan almost lost her composure. It was not about the fish... it was about him touching her food. Her appetite was already disappearing just thinking about it.

At the same time, Stove, who had transformed into a vine, trembled slightly.

A faint killing intent rose from him, and even the little flower plant stiffened, her petals shaking slightly.
