Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Poor Hu Yan !!

Hu Yan reached the riverbank, his golden eyes scanning sharply. But no matter how he searched, Su Qinglan was nowhere to be found. His chest tightened. Where did she go?

Before he could move further, a loud voice boomed from behind.

"Oii! Hu Yan!"

He turned and suddenly half a dozen beastmen had surrounded him, grinning like foxes that found a chicken.

"We heard the news!" one shouted, slapping him on the back so hard his tall frame almost staggered.

Hu Yan frowned. "What news?"

Another leaned close with a wicked grin. "Don’t play dumb. You’ve mated with Su Qinglan, haven’t you? Our Hu Yan has already become her first beast husband!"

The group erupted in whistles and laughter.

Hu Yan’s ears burned red instantly. His face, usually calm as stone, was turning crimson. "Nonsense," he said stiffly, trying to push past them.

But they only followed, blocking his way.

"What’s it like, ah? Being pampered by a female?" one teased, wagging his brows.

"Did she make you cook? Or does she feed you with her own hands?" another added.

"Haha! Does she scratch your ears when you behave like a good mate?"

Hu Yan had already turned red to his ears, but the beastmen weren’t done with him yet.

One bold fellow leaned closer, whispering loudly enough for everyone to hear.

"Tell us honestly, Hu Yan, how does it feel? To be held by a female?"

Another chimed in, "En! Some of us have lived our entire lives without even touching a female’s hand. Meanwhile, you already being slept beside! Truly, the Heavens are unfair!"

"Yeah, yeah!" a third joined in, eyes wide with curiosity. "Do females smell different when they hug you?"

The whole group burst out in laughter, some even doubling over and clutching their stomachs. A few covered their faces like innocent cubs, but their eyes glittered with pure gossip.

Hu Yan’s neck flushed red, his jaw so tight it looked like it might crack. "Shut. Up."

But his stern voice only made things worse.

"Woahhh, he didn’t deny it!"

"Hahaha! Look at his face, that’s the face of a male who has definitely tasted the warmth of a female’s arms!"

"Ah, if only I were as lucky as Hu Yan..."

One particularly miserable beastman sighed deeply, staring at the river like it had betrayed him.

"All my life... I’ve never even had a female glance my way. Our tribe has so few females, and with my face.." he touched his wide face gloomily..."not even the old aunties want me."

Another nodded in despair, pointing at his own crooked teeth.

"Same here. My face is worse than wild boar. If I try to court a female, she might faint just from looking."

A third beastman, with scars across his cheek, let out a heavy sigh.

"We’re doomed from birth. Females want strong males with good looks... not us bad looking nobodies. But you, Hu Yan—tall, broad-shouldered, golden-eyed—you make them all fall. Even Su Qinglan, she still picked you first."

They all looked at him with a mixture of jealousy, admiration, and despair.

Hu Yan’s mouth twitched violently.

Before he could retort, another slapped his thigh and added with a dirty grin:

"So, tell us, when she holds you close... does her belly make a good pillow?"
