Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Protect her from Xuan Long?

The next day, Su Qinglan sat with her four beastmen. Xuan Long, Hu Yan, Han Jue, and Rong Ye. The atmosphere was peaceful, and everyone was relaxed.

No one mentioned anything about yesterday. No one talked about Luo Chen, Bai Lianhua, or the chaos that had happened. It was as if everyone had agreed silently that today would be a fresh start.

Hu Yan was eating slowly, tearing small pieces of roasted meat and handing some to Su Qinglan now and then.

Han Jue, sitting across, was already on his third portion, eating heartily like always.

Rong Ye was sitting right beside Su Qinglan, grinning proudly as if he had done something great just by sitting next to her.

Even Xuan Long, who usually didn’t eat much, was eating quietly beside her. His emerald eyes occasionally lifted to look at her, making sure she was eating well.

Everything felt calm.

Su Qinglan took a sip of fruit juice and looked around. "It’s nice like this," she said softly. "This juice is so good."

Hu Yan nodded. "Yeah, it’s good." His deep voice echoed slightly in the cave. But then his tone changed, a bit regretful. "But... we can’t stay long today."

Su Qinglan looked at him, blinking. "Why?"

Hu Yan put down his meat bone and sighed. "I have to lead the hunting group to the north side. The scouts said there are a few big herds there. If we move early, we can catch them."

Han Jue also nodded beside him. "I’m going too. The tribe leader told me last night that I’ll be leading another group toward the river valley. We have to gather as much meat and hides as possible before the rainy season starts."

Su Qinglan nodded slowly. She understood. Both Han Jue and Hu Yan were among the most promising and powerful warriors in the tribe. They were the kind of beastmen everyone respected. It was natural for them to lead the hunting teams.

"That’s good," she said softly, her voice gentle but serious. "From today on, our tribe needs to get more and more food. Once the rains come, it’ll be hard to hunt for weeks."

Hu Yan smiled faintly. "You always think ahead, Lan Lan. Don’t worry, we’ll bring back plenty of prey."

Han Jue nodded. "Yes. You just rest and take care of yourself."

Su Qinglan smiled at them both. She was proud of them and a little worried too, but she didn’t say it. She knew how dangerous hunts could be.

Before she could reply, Rong Ye suddenly leaned closer with a bright grin. He shamelessly hooked his arm around her shoulders and said in a cheerful tone, "Then I’ll accompany Lan Lan today!"

Su Qinglan blinked and turned her head toward him. "You will?"

Rong Ye puffed out his chest proudly. "Of course! You’ll need someone to protect you, right? So, I’ll stay with you."

Han Jue and Hu Yan both exchanged looks silently, already expecting what was about to happen.

Su Qinglan looked at Rong Ye up and down, her expression calm but a little puzzled. "Why are you not going hunting?" she asked casually. "You’re also a strong beastman, right?"

Her tone wasn’t mocking. She truly wondered. In her mind, this was a very important time for the tribe. The more hunters, the better. The more prey they could store before the rain came, the safer everyone would be.
