Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: How to go back?

Su Qinglan was very happy that the deal was finally done. Two big sacks of rice in exchange for a few beast hides. She couldn’t help smiling as she touched the rough sacks, thinking how much she could make from them later.

Before leaving, she turned to Xuan Long and said, "Xuan Long, can you lend me hides? I will give them back to you."

"My hides are all yours; why will you have to lend them?" he said with a frown.

Su Qinglan smiled at him brightly but didn’t explain anything. She didn’t want to agitate him at all, so she was taking baby steps with him. If she directly told him that she did not plan to stay here with him, he would definitely get angry.

And she couldn’t risk it. In a faraway place where she was still a weak female and carrying cubs nonetheless, she needed protection.

Even if her desire was selfish, she knew she couldn’t risk leaving alone. What if she met some beastman with evil intentions? She couldn’t guarantee that all beastmen here were good.

What if someone was like that owl beastman..

or worse, what if she encountered him again?

Then she would definitely be finished. She could already imagine how that psycho beastman would behave after finding out that she had run away.

This was also the reason she decided to come out of the cave to find if there was any chance she could go back. But on the way, she realized she had no way to find her tribe, and her only option was to get the help of Xuan Long.

And then repay him for his kindness. Maybe he could settle in her tribe and find a female to his liking. After all, living alone was definitely not good.

So she smiled at him and asked, "Can you bring it then? I will wait for you here."

Xuan Long frowned slightly, his sharp eyes scanning the open plain. "You’ll stay here alone?"

Su Qinglan nodded quickly. "It’s fine! I’ll just sit here and wait. I don’t want to owe anyone, so I’ll stay until everything is done properly."

He didn’t look convinced, but after a long moment, he gave in. "Alright. Don’t move far," he said quietly, still sounding reluctant.

She smiled and waved her hand. "I’ll be right here. Go quickly before they change their mind about the trade."

Finally, he turned and slithered away, his emerald scales glinting in the sun. Su Qinglan watched him go until his tall figure disappeared into the distance.

She sighed, resting her hands on her knees, and thought maybe he would not decline her request to bring her back to her tribe. She could only hope for it.

On the other side, the moment Xuan Long was out of sight, several young bull beastmen came closer, their heavy steps thudding on the ground. They looked at her nervously at first, then one of them spoke, "Female, which tribe are you from? That big snake... he didn’t kidnap you, right?"
