Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152: Chapter 152: How to Get Eaten 101: A Fox’s Guide

Rong Ye tilted his head and looked at Xuan Long with his provocative gaze before he said sweetly, "From some beast... in heat."

The cave went completely silent.

Han Jue froze mid-bite. Hu Yan almost dropped his meat.

Both of them turned toward Rong Ye with identical expressions that screamed: "You’re dead."

Even the stove stood awkwardly for a second as if it wanted no part in this situation.

Xuan Long’s expression darkened instantly; his face went so black it could have dripped ink. His jaw tightened, and his forked tongue flickered slightly against his teeth...a silent warning.

He slowly calmed down his raging eyes and asked once again in a low voice, giving him a chance that maybe he heard it wrong. "What did you say?"

But Rong Ye just smiled wider, looking completely unbothered. "What?" he said innocently, pretending confusion. "I only meant it’s dangerous, right? Some beasts lose control during their... you know... season."

His tail swished proudly.

Han Jue buried his face in his hands. Hu Yan muttered under his breath, "He’s really going to die today..."

Because everyone knew who Rong Ye was talking about.

Xuan Long.

The mighty serpent beastman who had been unusually quiet and tense these days. The air around him practically smelled like danger and suppressed instinct. They were all beastmen...they could smell it.

Only Su Qinglan, who was a female, had no idea.

She blinked, looking between them, confused. "What are you talking about?"

But no one answered her.

Even the stove, after finishing its meal, decided life was more important than witnessing this. With a small snort, it shuffled away toward the entrance and left the cave silently.

Meanwhile, the tension inside could’ve snapped a spear in half.

Hu Yan and Han Jue quietly exchanged looks like soldiers preparing for war.

Rong Ye smirked, resting his chin on his hand. "Why so quiet? I didn’t say anything wrong. You don’t deny it?"

Xuan Long’s tail twitched once. Then his lips curved slightly in a calm and polite way. "I don’t need to explain myself to a fox who hides from hunting and talks too much."

Rong Ye’s ears flattened slightly, but instead of getting angry, his grin turned sharp. "Oh, really? Then maybe you should explain before your... condition gets worse."

Xuan Long raised an eyebrow. His deep voice dropped lower, quiet but icy. "Condition?"

Rong Ye’s tail flicked again, smug. "Yeah. You look pale. Maybe you’re sick. Should I tell Lan Lan? Shouldn’t you go and hide somewhere?"

Su Qinglan blinked again. "Sick? Who’s sick?"

Before Xuan Long could speak, Rong Ye turned dramatically toward her, his eyes full of fake worry. "Lan Lan, I think Xuan Long might be unwell. He’s been acting strange lately. Maybe he’s afraid he can’t have snake eggs anymore."

"PFFFT...!"

Hu Yan and Han Jue both lost it.

Hu Yan slammed a hand over his mouth to hold back laughter. Han Jue turned away completely, his shoulders shaking violently.

Su Qinglan’s eyes widened. "Snake eggs?" she repeated, completely lost. "Wait, what do you mean..."

Xuan Long didn’t move. He didn’t speak. He just stared at Rong Ye with that terrifyingly calm expression...the kind of calm that made your spine itch because you knew what came after wasn’t going to be calm at all.

Hu Yan and Han Jue both froze mid-laughter, realizing instantly that they had laughed at the wrong time.

Rong Ye, however, still had that stupid grin on his face until Xuan Long’s tongue flicked once.
