Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 817

Chapter 817: Chapter 817: Even Fate Must Bow to a Mother’s Will

Su Qinglan did not even realize when she fell asleep. The moment her head touched the soft pillow, sheer physical and mental exhaustion completely took over her body.

Her mind had been filled to the brim with fear, confusion, and the old man’s terrible, ominous prophecy. But after weeping silently in the dark for so long, her body finally gave out.

She didn’t know how much time had passed. She only knew that something warm and wet was suddenly licking the back of her hand.

Lick.

Lick.

Lick.

Su Qinglan frowned slightly in her sleep, her eyelids feeling heavy.

"Mm..." She moved her hand weakly, trying to push away whatever was disturbing her rest, but the warm little tongue followed her movements with relentless determination.

Lick. Lick.

"Stop..." Her sleepy voice was barely an audible whisper.

The little creature did not stop. Instead, it continued licking her hand with intense focus. Su Qinglan’s brows twitched, and she finally forced her eyes open.

The very first thing she saw was a pair of round, sparkling eyes staring directly down at her face.

She froze. A tiny golden tiger cub was lying right beside her cheek.

Xiao Yi’s little pink tongue was still sticking out. The moment he noticed that his mother’s eyes were open, his entire face brightened instantly.

"Mommy!"

Su Qinglan blinked sleepily, then slowly looked around. Only then did she realize that her entire bed was completely overrun by her cubs.

On her left side were Xiao Yi, Xiao Er, Xiao San, and Mao Mao.

On her right side were Lulu, Ruru, Ciao Ciao, and Yueyue.

All eight little cubs were squeezed tightly onto the mattress. Some were lying against her arms, some were curled into furry balls near her legs, and one was even resting his tiny head directly on her pillow. Every single pair of bright eyes was fixed entirely on her.

Su Qinglan stared at the furry wall surrounding her in confusion. "What happened?" She slowly pushed herself up, rubbing her messy hair. "Why are all of you crowded around Mommy?"

The eight cubs exchanged quick glances with one another, and then Xiao Yi immediately raised a tiny golden paw.

"Mommy, wake up!" His cute little voice was filled with intense concern. "You haven’t eaten anything since morning!"

Su Qinglan paused, looking at the little tiger cub. "You came all the way in here just to wake Mommy up?"

Xiao Yi nodded seriously. "Yes!"

The other cubs immediately nodded along in a chorus of moving ears and tails.

"Yes!"

"We came to wake Mommy!"

"Mommy has been sleeping for so long!"

"You didn’t eat!"

"You’ll be super hungry!"

Their childish voices overlapped, filling the quiet bedroom with sweet chatter. Su Qinglan stared at them for a silent moment before a soft smile finally returned to her pale face.

"So all of you sneaked in here just to wake Mommy up?"

"Yes!" The answer came in unison.

Su Qinglan couldn’t help but laugh softly. She reached out and tenderly stroked Xiao Yi’s fuzzy head. "My sweet little babies..."

Before she could finish her sentence, a small white blur suddenly leaped into her lap.
