Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Liu Shan Is Healed?

Su Qinglan immediately reached out and patted Liu Shan’s back softly.

"Hey... it’s alright. Don’t cry," she said in a gentle voice, a little panicked herself. She wasn’t good at comforting people, but seeing Liu Shan cry like that made her chest ache.

But Liu Shan didn’t stop. Her tears kept falling, her shoulders shaking as she held onto Su Qinglan tightly, like she was scared Su Qinglan would disappear if she let go.

"I thought... I thought I was going to die..." she whispered between sobs. "When I saw his body... my beast husband’s body... I felt like my world ended..."

Su Qinglan froze for a moment, not knowing what to say. She just kept patting her back slowly, letting her cry.

Liu Shan’s voice trembled as she continued, "He... he was always taking care of me. For so many years. I couldn’t even give him cubs. I was just a burden to him... and still, he protected me till his last breath."

Her lips quivered, her tears falling on Su Qinglan’s shoulder. "And because of me... he died. If not for me, he would still be alive. There’s no one left to carry his line anymore... no one..."

Su Qinglan’s heart clenched hearing her words. She didn’t interrupt. She just sat there quietly, letting Liu Shan pour everything out.

Liu Shan took a shaky breath. "When you found me... I didn’t want to live anymore. I really didn’t. If you hadn’t saved me that day, maybe I would have already followed him..."

Su Qinglan blinked, her throat tightening. "Don’t say that..." she whispered softly.

But Liu Shan shook her head, wiping her tears with the back of her trembling hand. "It’s true. But then... my second beast husband... he stayed by my side. He didn’t leave me. He kept whispering things to me, telling me I should live, that he wouldn’t give up on me..."

Her lips trembled again, but this time there was a small, weak smile on her face. "If not for him... and you... I wouldn’t be here now."

Su Qinglan smiled faintly, her hand still on Liu Shan’s shoulder. "You’re stronger than you think, Liu Shan."

Liu Shan shook her head again, tears still glistening in her eyes. "No... I’m not. But when my beast husband told me that you even healed me... that maybe I can still have cubs one day..." she paused, her voice breaking again, "I didn’t know what to say. I still don’t know if it’s true or not... but seeing the hope in his eyes... I just couldn’t destroy it."

Su Qinglan didn’t speak. She just listened quietly.

Liu Shan let out a long, trembling sigh. "I don’t want to die anymore," she whispered. "Because if I die, he’ll die too. I can’t take another innocent life because of me."

Su Qinglan’s eyes softened. She reached out and gently wiped the tears from Liu Shan’s cheeks. "Then don’t die," she said simply. "Live. For yourself. For him. For the ones who care about you."

Liu Shan looked up at her, eyes red and wet. "Thank you... for everything. I really... don’t know how to repay you."

Su Qinglan smiled and shook her head. "You don’t need to repay me. Just live well. That’s enough for me."

For a long while, neither of them said anything. The forest wind blew softly, rustling the leaves.

Liu Shan finally calmed down. She loosened her grip on Su Qinglan and took a deep breath, wiping her face with her sleeve. "I’m sorry... I made a mess again," she said in a small voice.

Su Qinglan chuckled lightly. "It’s fine. Crying sometimes helps. You’ll feel lighter after that."
