Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: I Named Myself

She coughed quickly, forcing her expression to stay calm. "Alright then," she said, trying to sound composed. "Lesson one: no kissing without consent."

He nodded obediently. "Understood." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Lesson two," she continued. "Don’t threaten to kill people I like."

"Even if they’re useless?" he asked innocently.

She pinched the bridge of her nose. "Especially if they’re useless!"

For a long moment, silence filled the cave.

Then unexpectedly... Xuan Long let out a faint huff, like a small laugh.

Su Qinglan blinked.

Wait... did he just laugh?

He looked down at her, his expression softening just a little. "You’re strange," he said. "But I think I like it."

"You are the first person to teach me so many things."

Su Qinglan’s eyes widened slightly. Her ears burned.

"Didn’t your mother or father teach you those things?" she murmured quietly.

But Xuan Long heard it and replied casually, "I don’t remember my father or mother. They never existed in my life."

"Huh!" Now it was Su Qinglan’s turn to be stunned. Didn’t remember mother and father? Did something happen to them, or was he simply abandoned at a young age?

Even without her noticing, her eyes softened, and now she understood. No wonder he was so awkward. Maybe he had lived his entire life alone. There was no one to teach him anything, and he didn’t even look like he had lived in a tribe.

Does that mean he had lived his entire life alone?

"Female, what are you thinking?" Xuan Long asked in a deep husky tone, and she didn’t even realize when he had come so close to her.

"My name is Su Qinglan, not female." She decided to immediately change the topic. She didn’t want him to remember his past, which might bring bad memories.

"My name is Xuan Long. Xuan means mysterious... something deep and unfathomable, like the darkness beneath the abyss. And Long means dragon, a creature of power and pride, born to rule the skies."

"Put together..." He smiled faintly, eyes glinting with quiet arrogance. "It means the Mysterious Dragon, one who answers to no one but himself."

Su Qinglan’s mouth formed an O, and he chuckled at her silly expression. "Is it good I named myself?"

"Yes... yes it is so good. I have never heard such a beautiful name," Su Qinglan immediately praised him, but on the other side, her heart clenched for him when she heard that he had named himself.

"But no one has ever called me by my name. Will you call me Qinglan?" he gently asked, with a hopeful smile.

Her heart stirred at his harmless and hopeful smile, and she said, "Xuan Long, will you bring me fruits?" she gently asked, mirroring his expression.

And Xuan Long’s eyes widened before he said, "I will bring it to you... you wait here," he said, and immediately transformed into a big snake and slithered out of the cave.

Su Qinglan looked at his form, which was literally radiating joy, as he vanished from the cave entrance.

And she realized that even being powerful still cannot save you from the worst fate. And in her opinion, being alone your entire life was worse than death itself.

Who could understand it better than her? Was she not also alone for her entire life back in the apocalypse world?

After her father died, no one wanted to come closer to her, and those who did all had ulterior motives. She had fallen into their tricks more than once.

After that, she simply stopped associating with anyone, living her life quietly.

And strangely, her luck was never worse when it came to surviving. Even if everyone died, she would still survive. It would not be a lie to say that it had helped her survive for so long when she was all alone.
