Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Chapter 28: One Hit, Six Tails Down

Su Qinglan’s breath came out heavy. Her cheeks were burning red, and her fists were trembling. All the dazzling beauty, all the charm of that fox, all those shining tails...every single good point she had thought about him dropped straight into the pit. No, lower than the pit. Straight to the minus points.

Her veins popped as his mocking voice still rang in her ears. Fat female... lowly female... greatest achievement of my life...

"Greatest achievement, my ass!" she muttered furiously.

Before her brain could catch up, her body had already moved. The heavy stone pan in her hand swished through the air with all her anger packed into it.

BANG!

The pan landed squarely on his beautiful jade-like head.

Plop!

The great six-tailed fox toppled over like a sack of potatoes. He hit the ground face-first, his fan flying out of his hand. A loud thud echoed through the clearing.

And then... silence. Not even a twitch.

Su Qinglan froze.

Even Hu Yan froze.

The tiger’s golden eyes went wide. He had been ready to fight Rong Ye himself, but his female suddenly swung a pan and dropped the arrogant fox like it was nothing.

"You..." Hu Yan’s lips parted, but no words came out.

Su Qinglan stared at the sprawled figure on the ground. The once-arrogant fox was lying like a dead log, his tail spread around him like fallen banners.

Her jaw dropped. "Ah...? I... I didn’t mean to hit that hard..."

Her face paled. "Wait. He... he’s not dead, right?"

Panic crawled into her chest. She rushed forward. Her hands hovered over his back, not daring to touch. "Hey... hey, fox, wake up... Don’t pretend... I know you’re faking..."

But Rong Ye didn’t move. Didn’t utter a sound or even a groan.

"Damn it!" Su Qinglan hissed. She nudged him with the tip of her foot. Still nothing. She nudged harder, rolling him slightly. His beautiful face was pressed against the dirt, looking ashen.

Su Qinglan’s eyes watered. "No, no, no... Don’t tell me I killed him..."

She looked back at Hu Yan with wide eyes and trembling lips. "Hu Yan... did I just kill someone?!"

Her voice cracked at the end, filled with panic.

Hu Yan’s chest tightened. For a moment, he had no words. His usually cold face softened, just slightly, as he looked at her teary eyes.

His deep voice rumbled low, almost comforting. "Then we will bury him."

Su Qinglan: "..."

Her tears froze in her eyes.

On the other hand, the fox’s ear twitched. Just the faintest flick.

Su Qinglan didn’t notice, but Hu Yan’s sharp golden eyes narrowed instantly. That sly fox was playing dead!

Hu Yan’s big hand closed firmly around her wrist. "Let’s go," he said coldly. "Even if something happens to him, no one will blame you. It was just a shameless fox provoking a female. It doesn’t matter if you accidentally killed him."

Su Qinglan: "..."

She blinked at him in shock. This tiger was already dragging her away from the scene, like they really had just committed murder.

Her lips twitched. "Wait—shouldn’t we at least check again..."
