Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 545

Chapter 545: Chapter 545: Her Precious Daughter

In a small wooden hut at the edge of the tribe, a middle-aged man sat quietly on a low stone, polishing a rough stone bowl with slow and steady movements. His name was Li Zheng, and his face was calm, but his brows were slightly furrowed as if he was lost in thought.

Just then, the door curtain was suddenly pushed aside.

A young female rushed in, her breathing uneven, her eyes shining with excitement. "Father!" she called out, her voice trembling. "Is it true?"

Li Zheng did not immediately look up. He continued polishing the bowl for a moment before asking in a low voice, "What is it?"

The young female stepped closer, almost unable to contain herself. "Is it true that the Fox Beast City Lord has refused to marry Lan Yue?"

Only then did Li Zheng pause. His hand stopped moving, and he slowly lifted his head. After a brief silence, he gave a simple nod. "Mn."

That single sound was enough.

The girl’s eyes lit up instantly, her face filled with joy. "Finally... finally!" she said, almost laughing. "My chance has come!"

Her name was Li Meilin, and at this moment, she looked like she had just received the greatest news in her life.

"It must be that Lan Yue offended him," she continued, muttering to herself with excitement. "Serves her right... how could she not want such a powerful male?"

Her voice grew softer but filled with anticipation. "Now... now it’s my turn."

Li Zheng’s expression darkened immediately. He put down the stone bowl with a dull sound and looked at her sharply. "Meilin."

His voice carried warning.

"You are not allowed to go after him."

Li Meilin froze for a moment, then frowned in confusion. "Father, what are you saying?"

She looked at him as if she could not understand his words at all. "He is the City Lord of the Fox Beast City. He is powerful and has countless people under him. How could he not be good?"

Her tone became slightly impatient. "Lan Yue is the foolish one for refusing him. But I am not like her."

Her eyes were full of determination. "If I get the chance, I will definitely win his favor."

Li Zheng’s face turned even more serious. He stood up slowly and said in a deep voice, "You don’t understand. That man is not simple. He is dangerous."

But Li Meilin only laughed lightly, clearly not taking his words to heart. "Dangerous?" she repeated. "Father, you are thinking too much."

At that moment, another figure walked in from outside.

It was Li Meilin’s mother, Zhao Lianhua.

She had heard part of their conversation and now walked in with a faint smile on her face. She reached out and gently patted Li Meilin’s head. "What are you arguing about so early in the day?"

"Mother!" Li Meilin immediately turned to her, her face bright. "Father is stopping me. He doesn’t want me to go after the Fox City Lord."

Zhao Lianhua raised her brows slightly, then glanced at Li Zheng. "Is that so?"

Before Li Zheng could speak, she chuckled softly. "Why are you stopping her?"
