Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: The Beastmen’s First Barbecue

Soon, beast men began rushing back with armfuls of wood, sticks, and meat. Some came proudly holding neat piles, others clutched broken branches in a panic, but all of them carried the same eagerness in their eyes.

One after another, they stacked their small fires, clumsily but earnestly.

But when it came time to light them... Not a single one dared. They were too afraid of it.

The flames from Su Qinglan’s hand still lingered in their minds. Who among them would dare make fire so casually?

The silence stretched until a deep voice rumbled.

"I’ll do it."

Hu Yan stepped forward with his calm golden eyes. He knelt without hesitation and started burning their fires one by one with the already burning wood.

"Like this," he said simply, his tone unbothered, as if handling fire was as natural as breathing.

Relief washed over the beastmen.

"Hu Yan is amazing!"

"Quick, quick, roast the meat before the fire dies!"

In no time, the sacred grounds filled with dozens of small fires, each flickering under beastmen’s trembling hands.

And soon...the scent spread.

Golden-brown juices dripped into the flames, making a loud sizzling sound. The air grew thick with mouthwatering smoke, richer and more intoxicating than anything they had ever known.

The entire area was wrapped in the aroma of roasted meat.

"Delicious!"

"Ah—mine turned golden!"

"Look, it’s not burning this time!"

Excitement spread like wildfire. Beastmen laughed as they fed their females, and the females, who were timid at first, also began to nibble cautiously. But once the first bite melted on their tongues, their restraint broke.

Those who had roasted successfully grinned like children. The females’ eyes glowed with delight as they clutched their sticks as if afraid someone would snatch them away.

But not everyone was lucky enough to taste it.

Those who had hesitated earlier, who hadn’t stepped forward, now stood at the edges. Their throats bobbed painfully as they swallowed down saliva, eyes locked hungrily on the roasted meat in others’ hands.

They gritted their teeth with regret plastered on their face.

And among them was Xu Meiyan.

Her sharp nails dug into her palms as she glared at the scene.

Her own beast husbands stood nearby, their eyes stupidly fixed on the glowing meat sticks in other females’ hands, drool practically forming at the corners of their mouths.

Snap!

Her patience broke.

"What are you standing there for?!" Xu Meiyan’s voice cracked like a whip. She shot them a glare filled with chillness.

The three beastmen froze, shoulders trembling.

"Go!" she shouted furiously, her eyes blazing. "Go and learn how to roast meat from her! Do you expect me to eat this disgusting raw filth forever?!"

Her words dripped with anger as she pointed at the untouched bloody chunk in her own bowl.

"You fools!" she spat, her teeth grinding. "Everyone else is eating like kings, and you stand here like pigs!"
