Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Truth

Su Qinglan’s face darkened, but the corner of her lips curved up slightly... that kind of smile that made even Hu Yan twitch because he knew someone was about to die socially.

She stepped forward slowly, her expression calm, even pitiful, as if she were the one being wronged here.

"Sister Mei," she began softly, blinking her big, innocent eyes, "you really are so kind. We haven’t even opened our mouths to defend ourselves yet, but you’ve already decided everything for us. How efficient of you~"

The crowd blinked. That sounded polite... but somehow didn’t feel polite at all.

Xu Meiyan stiffened. "I-I’m just..."

"Oh, I know," Su Qinglan interrupted sweetly, placing a hand over her chest dramatically.

"You were only thinking about justice, right? You’re always thinking about justice. Like the time you ’accidentally’ thought that the ground fruits were poisonous and I planned to harm the entire tribe, right?"

A few beastmen expressions turned speechless, trying not to laugh. Xu Meiyan’s face turned red instantly.

Su Qinglan continued, her tone still sugary soft. "But I have to say, Sister Mei, you’re quite amazing. You rushed here before anyone even finished talking, shouted at the tribe leader, and declared my beast husband dangerous... all without knowing a single thing about what happened! Truly... the spirit of bravery!"

She clapped her hands once, pretending to admire her.

Even Xuan Long’s lips twitched.

Xu Meiyan’s smile froze. "Y-you’re twisting my words, Su Qinglan. I was only..."

"Oh, no, no!" Su Qinglan waved her hands quickly, eyes wide like she was shocked at the accusation.

"How could I ever twist your words? You said it loud enough for the whole tribe to hear! Even the birds in the forest probably know by now that Xuan Long is a ’dangerous beastman.’"

Her soft voice mimicked the words "dangerous beastman" with exaggerated air quotes.

Xuan Long’s lips twitched as he fought back the smile forming on his lips.

Su Qinglan tilted her head and sighed pitifully. "But I’m a little confused. If you’re so worried about Sister Bai, why aren’t you consoling her? Or, I don’t know, helping her stand? Oh, wait...maybe shouting dramatically at the tribe leader treats people now? Should I try that next time I get hurt?"

Laughter rippled quietly through the crowd.

Xu Meiyan’s mouth fell open. "I...I just wanted to make sure everyone understands the danger..."

"Ah, danger, yes." Su Qinglan nodded seriously, her tone dripping with pity. "That’s so brave of you, Sister Mei. To stand up to a snake beastman who could swallow you whole! Such courage! Such... lack of self-preservation!"

The beastmen tried not to laugh but failed miserably. Even Bai Lianhua looked up from her tears, confused whether to cry or watch the show.

Xu Meiyan puffed up, face red from embarrassment. "You...you’re mocking me!"

"Mocking you?" Su Qinglan gasped softly, covering her mouth as if horrified. "Oh heavens, no! I’m praising you. You must have misunderstood. Maybe your ears are still ringing from all that righteousness you shouted earlier?"
