Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off - Chapter 137

137: Chapter 137: Checking the Females 137: Chapter 137: Checking the Females Su Qinglan sat down on the flat stone and called the first female forward.

The female looked nervous, her hands twisting in front of her body.

Su Qinglan’s gaze softened as she placed her hand on her wrist and quietly used her ability to check.

The moment her power entered the female’s body, Su Qinglan frowned.

Her pulse was weak, her body was cold, and her energy flow was very slow.

There were even traces of old injuries around her lower belly…

scars left from childbirth that never healed properly.

She sighed softly.

“You’re too weak,” she said gently.

“Your body has not recovered from the first birth, and you’ve lost too much strength.

You need proper food and rest before you can think about having cubs again.” The female’s eyes turned red, and she bit her lip.

“So… I can’t have cubs anymore?” Su Qinglan shook her head.

“Not now.

But if you follow what I say and take care of yourself, you still have a chance later.” The female nodded quickly, her eyes shining with hope again.

Su Qinglan called the next one.

One by one, she checked them…five females in total.

Almost all of them had the same problem.

Their bodies were cold, thin, and malnourished.

They had old wounds that had never been properly treated.

One even had an infection from her first birth that still lingered.

It was heartbreaking.

In this beast world, there was no real healing, no medicine, and no proper rest after birth.

Females had to do everything themselves, and once they became weak, no one really knew how to help them recover.

Su Qinglan’s hands trembled slightly as she pulled back from the fifth female.

She felt angry and helpless at the same time.

“This world really doesn’t care about females’ bodies,” she thought bitterly.

She looked at all of them sitting in front of her.

Their faces were full of hope and nervousness, waiting for her to speak.

“You all have different problems,” she said finally.

“Some are just weak.

Some have cold energy.

Some still carry old injuries.

If I treat everyone at once, it will be too much for me.

So for today, I will stop here.

The rest of you can come tomorrow.” The moment she said that, some of the females exchanged looks.

A few even showed reluctant expressions, clearly unhappy about waiting another day.

Su Qinglan noticed it immediately.

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

She knew that look.

The look of people who were starting to expect too much.

Before she could say anything, Hu Yan, who had been silently standing nearby, took one step forward.

His tall shadow fell over them, and his cold golden eyes swept through the crowd.

The females froze.

None of them dared to meet his gaze.

Just one glance from Hu Yan was enough to silence the whole group.

Even the ones who looked dissatisfied quickly bowed their heads, pretending to adjust their baskets.

Su Qinglan’s lips twitched slightly.

“As expected,” she thought.

“Hu Yan doesn’t even need to say a word to scare them.” But she wasn’t upset about it.

In fact, she was glad.

Because she didn’t plan to exhaust herself treating everyone in one day.

Healing them took both energy and time, and her healing ability hadn’t improved much even after constant use.

She was still stuck at the same level…

the lowest level of her plant-type ability.

It made her frustrated.

Her power could heal, yes, but it barely grew stronger.

Without crystal cores or any energy source like in cultivation novels, she had no idea how to upgrade it.

“If it continues like this, even if I heal a hundred people, my level won’t increase much,” she thought angrily.

“By the time I’m old, I might not even reach level three.” She bit her lip.

“I need to find another way… something that can help me grow faster.” But for now, she pushed those thoughts aside and focused on the females in front of her again.

She spoke gently but firmly.

“I’ll prepare some medicine for the ones I checked today.

You can come to my cave in the evening to collect it.

As for the rest of you, come tomorrow.

Don’t crowd around or get too excited.

I’ll see everyone in turn.” The females nodded slowly, though some still looked unwilling.

Seeing that, Su Qinglan smiled faintly but didn’t explain further.

She knew better than to make healing seem too easy.

If people thought she could fix everything in one go, they would lose respect for her.

And when people get used to miracles, they start demanding them.

She didn’t want that.

“I’ll treat them slowly,” she decided in her heart.

“Let them think it takes effort and time.

That way, they’ll treasure it more and not take me for granted.” Besides, she couldn’t openly tell anyone about her power.

If rumors spread that she could heal so easily, the old witch doctor of the tribe might come knocking at her cave in the middle of the night.

And Su Qinglan definitely didn’t want that trouble.

Just then, Lin Muyu, who had been standing nearby watching everything, stepped forward with a serious expression.

“You all heard what Qinglan said,” she said in a loud voice.

“Don’t make noise or rush her.

If you behave badly, forget about Qinglan…even I won’t allow you near her!” The females looked startled.

Lin Muyu’s eyes turned sharp as she continued, “After all, Qinglan is also carrying cubs now.

If something happens to her because of your impatience…” She stopped mid-sentence and made a scary gesture with her hand, pretending to claw at the air.

All the females gasped and covered their mouths.

Then, as her words sank in, their eyes widened in surprise and joy.

“Qinglan female is pregnant?” one whispered.

Lin Muyu nodded proudly.

“Of course.

Didn’t you notice how Hu Yan has been guarding her like a hawk lately?” The atmosphere suddenly changed.

All the females, who had looked nervous and worried before, now smiled brightly.

“Congratulations, Qinglan female!” “That’s wonderful news!” “You’ll definitely have a strong cub!” Their eyes were a little envious but also genuinely happy.

After all, now they trusted her even more…

a female who could heal and was also blessed with life herself.

Su Qinglan blinked, stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly.

“Lin Muyu… You really can’t keep secrets, can you?” She muttered under her breath.

But she couldn’t bring herself to scold her friend.

The happy faces around her made her heart soften again.

“Alright,” she said, standing up and brushing off her hands.

“Go back and rest for now.

I’ll make the medicine and call you when it’s ready.” The females nodded gratefully before leaving one by one.

When the last one disappeared down the path, Su Qinglan finally sat down on a rock, stretching her tired arms.

Hu Yan walked over quietly and placed a hand on her shoulder.

“You did well,” he said simply.

Su Qinglan gave him a small smile.

“I just hope I can really help them… all of them.” Hu Yan’s gaze softened.

“You will.

My lan lan is the strongest one here with many abilities.”
