Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off - Chapter 115

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: The cubs are in distress
Su Qinglan was writhing in pain and despair. The burning on her lower back was becoming worse with every second. Her body trembled, and her heartbeat was going crazy. Sweat started forming on her forehead and running down her neck.

All she wanted now was to find Hu Yan. She didn’t care about anything else.

Her heart ached so much that she couldn’t even breathe properly. The thought of something happening to him made her chest feel tight. What would she even do if Hu Yan…

No, she couldn’t even think of that.

She clutched Xuan Long’s arms tightly, her nails digging into his skin, and looked at him with teary eyes. Her lips trembled, but no words came out. She just kept silently begging him to take her there…to take her to Hu Yan.

Xuan Long’s jaw clenched hard. Inside, a storm of anger and jealousy burned in him.

How dare another male cause her so much pain?

He was truly useless, first abandoning her alone, leaving her to suffer, and now he even got himself injured, making his female feel pain because of it.

His eyes darkened dangerously. And what made it worse was seeing the way she looked at him; she was so desperate and worried for another beastman.

He could see that affection clearly in her eyes, and it made his heart twist painfully.

Why did she like him so much? What had he done to get so much affection from a female?

Most females, after feeling their mate’s mark react like this, would immediately try to erase it and abandon that male forever. But she wasn’t like that. She was enduring the pain, still asking to find him, still crying for him.

He couldn’t understand it at all.

Countless thoughts rushed through his mind, but in the end, seeing her pale face and trembling body made his chest ache. He couldn’t bear it anymore.

Without another word, he bent down and carefully lifted her into his arms.

“Hold on,” he said quietly, his voice low but firm.

Su Qinglan grabbed his shoulder tightly, still shaking, her eyes squeezed shut as another wave of heat passed through her.

Xuan Long’s long tail started moving fast as he began to slither across the ground. His speed increased, leaving the bull tribe far behind in just a few breaths.

At the same time, his cold hand rested gently on her lower back, right over the burning mark. His palm was icy cool, and the touch made her gasp softly in surprise. The coldness helped calm the pain a little, and she let out a shaky breath.

He glanced down and saw it clearly, the faint glowing mark on her skin, shaped like the roaring tiger, who stood proudly on her skin.

That stupid tiger.

His eyes darkened again, but he forced himself to focus.

Su Qinglan pointed weakly in a direction, her voice soft and trembling. “That way… I can feel it… He’s there…”

When a female’s mate mark burned, they could vaguely sense where their mate was. The stronger the pain, the clearer the direction.

Xuan Long gritted his teeth and followed the direction she pointed, moving faster.

When she had just arrived in his lair, he had already sensed a thick scent of tiger on her and stingy bird.

He thought both of them were her beast husbands, but it seems she had only mentioned the tiger, not that bird, so he has also decided to find that stingy bird and why his scent was on her.

Both of their scents were registered in his mind, and because he was an ancient snake, his senses were sharper, so even if Su Qinglan would not point him out. He could still track him.

His arms tightened slightly around Su Qinglan. He didn’t say anything, but his eyes grew colder, and his movements became faster.

This time, he was not just helping her find that tiger.

He was also going to find out what kind of beast dared to hurt his female’s heart like this.

Xuan Long tried his best to ease her pain as he moved. His cold hand kept pressing gently on her lower back again and again, trying to lessen the burning that was making her tremble. Every few moments, he looked down at her face, his brows tightly knitted, his eyes full of worry.

Su Qinglan’s face was pale, almost white now. Sweat rolled down her temples, and her breathing was uneven. Her mind was filled with countless thoughts…what could have happened to Hu Yan? Was he hurt? Fighting someone? Or maybe caught in some trap?

The burning mark only grew worse, spreading heat through her whole body. She could hardly focus. Even her stomach began to ache, and that made her panic even more.

Her hands moved to her belly, and she gritted her teeth, whispering softly, “Babies… it’s alright… Don’t be afraid. Your father will be fine… he’ll be fine…”

She forced her voice to stay calm even when her whole body was shaking.

Then she used a little bit of her healing power, enough to calm the cubs in her belly. She didn’t dare to use more. She knew her power was limited, and she might need it later… when she found Hu Yan. She didn’t know in what condition she would find him, so she had to save it.

Xuan Long heard her low voice as she talked to her cubs, comforting them softly even while she was in pain. Something inside him tightened painfully.

His eyes turned colder, but his jaw was locked in determination. Without a word, he made her lean completely against his chest, his arms holding her steady.

“Don’t move,” he said quietly, his deep voice calm but firm.

And then he slithered even faster. His tail brushed through the tall grass, moving like lightning across the plains.

Su Qinglan closed her eyes weakly, her head resting against his chest. The steady cold from his body was the only thing keeping her from fainting. Every second felt longer than the last.

She clenched her hands tightly, enduring the pain, her mind repeating one single thought again and again…

Please, let me reach him soon…
