Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 791

Chapter 791: Chapter 791: Stove’s Little Jealousy Crisis

Little Hua’s eyes sparkled with pure, ecstatic delight. She puffed out her small chest, completely basking in Su Qinglan’s praise.

"Really, Mommy Su?" Little Hua asked in her sweet, bell-like voice, twirling around in a circle to show off her shimmering petal skirt.

"Do I really look pretty? I have arms and legs now! Real ones!"

"Of course you do!" Su Qinglan cooed, smoothing down the little girl’s long green hair. "You’re the prettiest little flower girl in the entire Upper Domain. Isn’t she, Xiao Yi?"

Xiao Yi bounced over on his chubby tiger paws, tilting his fluffy head up. "Mm! Little Hua looks super pretty! But can you still grow yummy fruits for us to eat?"

Little Hua giggled, patting Xiao Yi’s head like a proud big sister. "Of course I can, silly tiger! I can grow even bigger and sweeter fruits for you all now!"

The rest of the cubs immediately cheered, tumbling around her feet in utter delight. Little Hua giggled happily, feeling so proud of her brand-new body.

Suddenly, her round eyes scanned the garden and landed on Stove, who was still standing all by himself in the distance near a tall rose bush, looking tiny and quiet.

Little Hua’s eyes lit up with excitement! She immediately raised her chubby, lotus-root arms, waving at him enthusiastically as she called out loudly in her clear, milk-toned voice, "Stove! Look at me! Look, look! I turned into a human! I have real hands and real feet now!"

Stove froze in place. He looked at her dazzling, perfect human form and then looked down at his own small, plant body.

A wave of complicated emotion washed over his mind...he was genuinely happy for her, but he felt a little embarrassed and self-conscious about his own lack of a human body.

Instead of walking over, Stove’s tiny leaves twitched.

"Stove? Why are you standing all the way over there?" Little Hua called out again, tilting her head. "Come over here and see! I can walk!"

Stove panicked slightly, his voice squeaking in Su Qinglan’s mind, ’I-I’m not coming over! You’re just going to show off!’

Before Little Hua could take another step toward him, Stove suddenly turned his small body around, kicked his tiny root feet, and sprinted away into the dense flower bushes as fast as his little body could carry him!

Little Hua froze mid-stride, her chubby arms still raised awkwardly in the air. Her big round eyes blinked in total shock as she watched his tiny green figure completely disappear into the leaves.

"Stove...?" she whispered, her tiny brows scrunching up into a deeply confused frown.

She turned to look up at Su Qinglan, her little mouth pouting. "Mommy Su... why did Stove run away from me? Did I scare him?"

Su Qinglan watched Stove’s tiny green figure vanish into the bushes, her heart aching slightly.

Around her, all the cubs and Little Hua were completely stunned by Stove’s sudden getaway.

No one had expected him to react like this after all, Stove was the one closest to Little Hua! They bickered constantly, but they were practically inseparable.

Little Hua’s lower lip trembled, her big gemstone eyes filling with confusion. "Mommy Su... is Stove mad at me because I became a human?"

"Of course not, darling," Su Qinglan said gently, kneeling down to pat Little Hua’s head. "He’s just feeling a little overwhelmed. You stay here and play with the cubs, okay? I will go check on Stove."

Because Stove was her power spirit, their souls were directly connected. Su Qinglan could easily sense the deep wave of gloom and inadequacy crashing through his mind.

She walked over toward the large, ancient tree at the edge of the garden.

Sure enough, sitting right beneath the shaded roots was Stove. His small plant body was swaying listlessly, his tiny leaf arms drooping all the way to the soil in sheer despair.

Su Qinglan sat down softly beside him on the grass, extending her fingers to gently hold one of his small, trembling vines.

"Stove," she called out softly.
