Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off - Chapter 145

145: Chapter 145: Her Beast Husband 145: Chapter 145: Her Beast Husband At that exact moment, Xuan Long slithered closer, his tail dragging Luo Chen and the crying Bai Lianhua behind him.

The ground cracked under his weight.

The sound of his movement scared them even more.

And just when it looked like the tribe was going to faint collectively…

Hu Yan suddenly leapt forward.

He couldn’t take it anymore.

His body changed in an instant, fur bursting out, and in one jump, a massive golden tiger landed in front of the tribe.

His roar shook the air.

“Enough!

Everyone calm down!” The entire tribe froze.

Hu Yan’s deep voice echoed again, loud and clear.

“He’s not our enemy!

He’s my female’s new mate!” Silence.

Complete, heavy silence.

Every single beastman stared at him like their brains had stopped working.

Then they turned… and looked at Su Qinglan, who was standing there, waving her hands nervously and shouting, “I told you not to attack!” Their expressions were priceless, like someone had just dropped a boulder on their heads.

One beastman even whispered, “Wait… when did she get such a giant snake beastman as a husband?” Another one muttered in a crying tone, “Do you think… can I still have a chance against this giant snake?” Someone else nearly fainted.

Meanwhile, Xuan Long stopped a few steps away, his eyes cold as ever.

He looked terrifying, towering over all of them, but when his gaze landed on his female, the coldness melted instantly.

And he slithered toward her and gently rubbed his huge head on her, like a spoiled child.

The contrast was so strong that a few beastmen nearly dropped their females out of shock.

The tribe leader, who was pale and stiff, suddenly found his mouth twitching hard before a huge smile appeared on his face.

“Ahh!

That’s my daughter’s beast husband.

He is such a good boy,” Su Mingxuan said with a proud expression.

He couldn’t even control his joy after finding that it was actually Xuan Long.

And after all, who doesn’t want a powerful beast husband for their daughter?

He felt like half of his worries had faded, and he could live even 100 more years.

The tribe looked at him speechlessly, wondering…this was not your reaction just moments ago.

Hu Yan just gave him a calm smirk, while Su Qinglan looked like she wanted to dig a hole and hide inside.

And that’s how the entire tribe learned… very traumatically… that the terrifying, giant feral snake that scared half of them to death… was actually their tribe leader’s daughter’s husband.

Xu Meiyan’s face twisted with envy as she watched from a distance.

“That Su Qinglan really knows how to play her cards,” she muttered bitterly in a low voice.

“She already has so many good beast husbands, and now she’s gone and snatched up another one… an even more powerful one at that.” The other females nearby exchanged glances, half agreeing, half afraid to speak.

“Even if he’s a feral beastman,” Xu Meiyan continued, her lips curling, “everyone can see he’s stronger than our tribe leader himself.

Hmph!

Let’s see how long that lasts.

Maybe he’ll turn out to be a bad one and make her regret ever touching him.” Her eyes flicked toward Su Qinglan, who was surrounded by everyone, her mind churning with jealousy.

“It’s not even common for females to take a snake beastman,” she scoffed.

“Doesn’t she feel disgusted?

Sleeping beside something so cold and slippery… ugh!” She shuddered exaggeratedly, earning a few nervous laughs from the others.

“But then again,” she added darkly, “maybe she only took him because he’s powerful.

That’s just like her… always using her face and luck to climb higher.” She clenched her fists at her sides, her nails digging into her palms.

The more she thought about Su Qinglan’s luck, the more her heart burned with jealousy.

But suddenly, the entire chaotic tribe became silent when they heard a sobbing sound behind the big snake.

They grew curious, as it was actually a female voice.

No one had even noticed it at first because the snake was so big, they could hardly look at the back and no one even bothered to look, as who had the time to check a snake’s tail when the giant snake’s face was right in front of theirs?

And Su Qinglan also looked behind to find a very embarrassed and crying Bai Lianhua on the ground.

Her eyes widened when she looked at the snake’s tail.

“Isn’t that the stupid owl who kidnapped me?” she muttered aloud.

And Xuan Long was pleased by her expression, he really did bring the right person.

And even though Su Qinglan muttered slowly, everyone heard her words crystal clear.

Hu Yan and her father’s expressions were the first to darken…followed by Xuan Long.

Xuan Long’s cold eyes swept over the tribe before he slowly nodded.

“Yeah,” he said in a deep voice that made everyone’s heart skip, “I found them in the forest.

They were fighting with each other.” He grabbed Luo Chen and Bai Lianhua like they were nothing but sacks of grain and tossed them straight into the middle of the tribe square.

Both of them landed with a loud thud, rolling across the ground before lying still, trembling in fear and humiliation.

Then, right before everyone’s eyes, his huge snake body began to shrink and twist.

The sound of scales sliding against each other echoed as his form changed.

A moment later, the terrifying serpent was gone, replaced by a tall, powerful man with long black hair and eyes that still carried the cold gleam of a predator.

Xuan Long turned toward Su Qinglan, his sharp expression softening into something almost proud.

“Lan Lan,” he said, his lips curling slightly, “they are the ones who wanted to kill you… so I brought them for you.” He looked very pleased with himself, like a loyal pet who had just fetched something important.

Su Qinglan stood frozen, her eyes wide in disbelief.

Her gaze darted to Luo Chen, who was still coughing on the ground, then to Bai Lianhua, who was crying pitifully with her hair a complete mess.

She blinked a few times, completely speechless.

Wait… Luo Chen?

The one who kidnapped me?

And Bai Lianhua… what is she doing here too?

Her mind spun fast.

Don’t tell me… this white lotus bitch also had a hand in it.
