Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 720

Chapter 720: Chapter 720: The Beast World’s Giant Wild Yams

The following afternoon, the winter sun cast a pale, gentle light over the Dragon Beast City.

Su Qinglan was back in her vibrant backyard garden, crouching down to dig up some fresh winter vegetables. Her face was flushed a pretty rosy red from the cool breeze, but she did not mind the cold at all.

Even though the winter air was freezing, she found the crisp breeze incredibly refreshing after spending so many days trapped inside the house.

Right besides her, the three little cubs... Xiao Yi, Xiao Er, and Xiao San were trotting around happily in their beast forms. Each of them was holding a tiny woven basket in their mouths.

Every time Su Qinglan dug up a fresh, green bunch of winter spinach, she would shake off the excess dirt and place a few leaves into their small baskets.

The three little cubs puffed out their chests proudly, holding their heads high as they carried their small loads. They trotted around their mother like little soldiers on a very important mission.

Behind them, Xuan Long walked with slow, steady steps. His towering frame easily blocked the cold wind for Su Qinglan.

In his strong arms, he carried a massive bamboo basket that was already half-filled with fresh vegetables. His emerald eyes were fixed entirely on Su Qinglan’s moving figure, filled with deep warmth and absolute devotion.

After clearing their own garden patch, Su Qinglan stood up and wiped her brow. She looked towards the outer fence.

"Xuan Long, let’s go outside and check on the other people’s gardens," she suggested, her voice cheerful. "I want to see how the winter crops are doing."

Even though she had entrusted the overall maintenance of the other people’s gardens to Stove, and the little plant had been working diligently to ensure the crops did not freeze to death...she still wanted to inspect them with her own eyes.

Besides, she was secretly itching to go outside. It had been months since she had stepped outside the inner walls of the Dragon Beast City, and with Xuan Long by her side, she felt completely safe.

There was absolutely nothing to worry about.

"Alright," Xuan Long replied smoothly, nodding his head.

The five of them immediately walked out of the courtyard and strolled through the quiet paths of the city.

As they inspected the various garden plots, Su Qinglan was highly pleased.

Every single garden was thriving, the soil still rich and moist despite the frost. She made a mental note to praise Stove and give him some extra spirit-energy treats later. He really was a diligent worker when he wasn’t running his mouth.

They soon reached the edge of the city, near the shallow forest line just past the southern gate. The snow here was thicker, covering the ground like a heavy white blanket.

As Su Qinglan walked along the edge of the woods, her eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a withered, dried vine poking out from beneath the deep snow.

She paused, her curiosity piqued. She walked over, knelt down in the snow, and began brushing the white powder away with her bare hands.

To her absolute astonishment, buried deep within the dark, frozen earth, she saw the thick, brown crown of a wild yam.

"Oh! It’s a wild yam!" she exclaimed, her eyes widening with delight.

In the modern world, yams did not easily survive the harsh freezing winters. To protect themselves, they would usually go dormant deep underground and would not sprout until the spring.

But in this vast beast world, where the soil was incredibly rich in spiritual energy, these wild yams had grown massive and remained perfectly preserved under the frozen crust.

Since the local beastmen only focused on hunting meat and did not know how to eat or harvest these root vegetables, the ground was literally packed with them.
