Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off - Chapter 104

104: Chapter 104: Sleeping on top of him 104: Chapter 104: Sleeping on top of him For a second, Su Qinglan froze.

Then, as she met his eyes again, she realized he truly meant it.

He wasn’t staring at her body.

He wasn’t even looking anywhere inappropriate; his gaze was straight and calm, only focused on his task.

And in that moment, she suddenly felt like she was the one with the dirty thoughts.

Her face turned crimson from the neck up.

Great, she scolded herself silently.

He’s just helping, and I’m the one thinking nonsense.

Trying to calm down, she took a deep breath and stood still, letting him help her.

His fingers brushed lightly against her shoulders as he lifted the smooth, shining fabric over her.

It felt cold at first, almost like water.

The texture was unlike anything she had ever worn before.

It clung softly, adjusting to her shape perfectly, like it was made for her.

When he tied the last piece at her back, she finally exhaled and looked down.

The outfit was stunning.

It shimmered softly with every movement, cool and comfortable, fitting her body as if tailored perfectly.

The emerald color made her skin glow faintly in the dim light.

“This…” she whispered, touching the fabric gently.

“It’s so beautiful… Where did you even get this design?

It looks like something made for a festival!” “I made it,” Xuan Long said simply.

Her eyes widened.

“You… made this?!” He nodded once, calm as always.

“I sewed it myself.

From my shed scales.” Su Qinglan’s mouth opened slightly.

“You… sewed it yourself?” “Mn.” He looked at her quietly.

“I thought it would suit you.” She blinked, stunned and impressed at the same time.

The thought of this fierce, proud serpent beastman sitting down and sewing a dress for her…

made her chest feel strangely warm.

“You really surprise me, Xuan Long,” she said, smiling softly.

“You hunt, you bring fruits, and now you even make clothes… Are you sure you’re not secretly training for House Hubby?” He tilted his head, confused.

“House hubby?” She laughed lightly.

“It means someone who’s really good at taking care of his mate.” That made his emerald eyes widen slightly, a small, unreadable curve appearing on his lips.

“Then I’ll be that.” Her heart skipped once, and she had to look away quickly, pretending to check the edges of her new dress.

But when her gaze accidentally flicked back to him, to his bare, smooth upper body, the faint lines of muscles under his pale skin, and the shimmer of faint green scales near his collarbone, her face turned scarlet again.

Okay, stop it, she told herself.

He’s innocent.

You’re the only one with a gutter brain here.

Still, she couldn’t help but mutter under her breath, “Why does he have to be half naked while helping me wear clothes…?” “What?” he asked, tilting his head again.

“Nothing!” she said quickly, waving her hands.

“Absolutely nothing!” He blinked, still confused, but said nothing more.

After eating and bathing, Su Qinglan felt fresh and tired at the same time.

Her stomach was full, her body was clean, and her mind was calm.

But now she was feeling really sleepy.

The long day had drained her.

She wanted nothing more than to lie down and sleep again.

She looked outside.

It was already night.

The moon was hanging above like a soft lamp in the dark sky.

The forest was quiet; only the sound of night insects could be heard.

Su Qinglan yawned.

“Ahh… I’m so sleepy,” she muttered, rubbing her eyes.

She thought about going back to find Hu Yan or the tribe, but just thinking about it made her legs weak.

“No way,” she said softly.

“It’s too far… I can’t walk anymore.” Her eyes went to Xuan Long.

He was sitting nearby, still quietly watching her.

His face looked calm, and his emerald green eyes shone faintly under the moonlight.

He looked like someone strong… yet lonely.

Su Qinglan’s heart softened.

She could feel that he wasn’t a bad person.

He might look scary when he turns into a snake, but he had helped her so much already.

She decided to trust him.

“I’m really tired,” she said softly.

“I want to sleep.” The moment she said that, Xuan Long’s eyes brightened.

“Sleep?” he repeated, and then suddenly his body shimmered.

Before she could blink, he had turned into his snake form again…

a huge, shining serpent with scales that looked like tiny pieces of jade.

He made a large soft coil and gently lifted her up with his tail, placing her in the center.

“Sleep here,” he said.

“It is soft and cold.

You will have a good sleep.” Su Qinglan blinked.

“Eh?

Here?” But when she sat down, her eyes widened.

The scales were really soft…

cool like a smooth stone in a stream.

It was surprisingly comfortable.

It felt better than any bed she had in the beast world.

“This is… really nice,” she whispered.

Soon, her eyelids grew heavy.

Her fluffy foxtail wrapped around her legs as she curled up in the middle of the snake coil.

She yawned again and muttered, “Good night…” In just a few moments, she fell asleep…peacefully and deeply.

She wasn’t scared at all.

After living through zombies and hunger, a big snake didn’t scare her anymore.

In fact, it felt safer than anything.

If she could sleep beside corpses in the apocalypse, then sleeping on a soft snake coil was nothing.

Xuan Long, who had been watching her, slowly shifted again.

His upper body changed back into a man while his lower half stayed as a snake.

The moonlight fell on his bare chest and long hair as he leaned closer.

He looked at her small, sleeping face.

Her lips were slightly open, her breathing soft and calm.

His emerald green eyes were full of gentle warmth.

He carefully lifted her small body and placed her on his strong torso.

She stirred a little, then immediately hugged his chest like a pillow.

Her fox ears twitched as if she had found the perfect spot.

“You like sleeping on my body, right?” he said softly, his tone full of innocent amusement.

He gently patted her back, his large hand moving slowly and carefully.

“Then sleep here,” he added in a warm voice.

Su Qinglan made a small sound, something between a sigh and a mumble, and snuggled closer.

Her face pressed against his chest, her tail swayed once, and then she went completely still…

asleep again.

Xuan Long chuckled quietly, the sound deep and soft.

“You really like it,” he whispered and kept patting her back until her breathing became even again.
