Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: How to Build a House?

"Su Qinglan, stop acting like a hooligan. Ogling will not give you a better life," she muttered to herself in a sarcastic tone. She quickly pulled back her hand that had been wandering over the tiger’s strong back and decided to focus on the task.

They did not have much time. The rainy season was coming soon. She had to find a safe place to build a home, not just for herself but for the whole tribe.

If she succeeded, everyone could move here before the rain began. She took a deep breath, patted her cheeks lightly, and focused on the forest ahead.

The forest was thick and lush. The trees were so wide that even if three or four people joined hands, they could not circle one trunk. The air was cool and smelled of earth and leaves.

She looked around in awe. Back in her old world, she had only seen ruins and gray wastelands. Seeing so much green again made her heart feel full.

As they went deeper into the forest, she found many things that caught her eye. It was her first time walking so far into a forest in this world. Normally, females were not allowed here.

Even males avoided some parts because it was the home of wild beasts. But Su Qinglan had begged them to bring her. She needed to find a good place and also see if there were useful plants or food.

Her eyes suddenly lit up when she spotted something. "Hu Yan, stop! Go there... sniff this!" she called. The tiger beast looked confused but did as she asked.

Su Qinglan immediately jumped down from him, almost giving him a scare. But she was so focused she didn’t notice his expression. Her grin widened as she touched the green leaves. "This is wild spinach! You can eat this!" she said excitedly.

Soon, she found more familiar things. There were patches of wild garlic, and young bamboo shoots peeking through the soil. A bit further, she spotted sour fruits, which she just called oranges. Her excitement grew with every new discovery.

In the damp part of the forest, she even saw clusters of big mushrooms growing around fallen logs. Some were as large as her palm.

"Ah! Mushrooms!" she shouted with joy. She carefully picked a few and smelled them. They looked different, but she knew they were safe. "These will taste amazing when roasted," she said to herself with a grin.

She kept walking, searching for more good things; she even found some herbs that could be used as seasoning.

The beasts followed her silently, still not understanding why she looked so thrilled over plants.

But Su Qinglan was bursting with joy. She was from Earth, and these were all foods she knew well. Only now they were much bigger, greener, and looked fresher than she had ever seen before.

She quickly filled her small basket with mushrooms, roots, and leaves. Her hands were covered in dirt, but her face was glowing with happiness.

"If we can find food like this," she said softly to herself, "then we can really build a home here."

Su Qinglan finally decided to stop her gathering. As much as she loved discovering new food, she knew that was not the main reason she came here.

The most important task right now was to find a safe place to build a house before the rainy season started. The food could wait. The rain would not.
