Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off - Chapter 231

Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Teaching the Old Bitch a Lesson
The beastmen who were walking nearby heard Mu Lihua’s pitiful words. At first, a few of them felt a little pity in their hearts. After all, she was the female of the old tribe leader. And what she said was not completely wrong.

The old tribe leader did work every day. He took care of the tribe from morning to night.

He hardly had time to hunt. So if his daughter sent him some meat, it was normal. It was nothing wrong.

Some tribe members quietly thought, “Yes… the old leader really works hard… sending him meat is fine…”

But then as soon as they thought deeper, they all stopped themselves. They could not openly defend Mu Lihua.

Everyone in the tribe knew exactly what kind of person she was.

She was mean, selfish, never helped anyone and never shared anything. She always looked down on the tribe females. And she always acted like a queen just because her mate was the tribe leader.

No one liked her, everyone was aware of what kind of female she was, but they ignored it because mostly all females were the same; only their tribe fox females were a little bit better.

In the past, when Su Qinglan still lived with Mu Lihua, everyone thought she was exactly like her mother… evil and arrogant. The whole tribe believed the mother and daughter were both terrible.

Only the other daughter of Mu Lihua was considered normal.

But now everything had changed.

Su Qinglan was no longer the old evil female. She had changed completely and had even received a blessing from the beast god themselves. She worked harder than anyone and she even helped everyone.

She had taught them how to cook, store meat, dry fruits and plants, and helped them build sturdy houses. She taught them how to stay warm in the cold, guiding them through the harsh season.

If not for her, they would still be running in the rain like the weaker tribes outside, but now they had strong houses, warm fires, and enough food.

Only because of her.

So the tribe respected her, liked her, and even admired her. Su Qinglan had become someone they looked up to.

And not only that, she was now a witch doctor who had healed many beastmen and saved lives, so no one dared to offend her, and no one wished to stand against her.

Even the females who were secretly peeking from their tree houses stayed quiet.

They felt a little pity for Mu Lihua’s sad act, but they also remembered every nasty thing she had ever done.

No one wanted to side with her, and no one liked her old attitude. So even though some tribe members understood her words, none of them opened their mouths.

They stayed silent. They only watched and waited, because they all knew very clearly that they would never stand against Su Qinglan for anyone.

Mu Lihua’s face grew stiffer and stiffer when she realized that not even one beastman was willing to help her.

Su Qinglan’s lips slowly curled into a smile, a very satisfied and pleased smile, as she watched Mu Lihua acting pitiful like she was the most suffering person in the whole world.

Su Qinglan’s eyes shone with delight the moment she noticed how the tribe members were staying silent and not blindly defending this old bitch anymore. It felt good and refreshing.

It felt like all her hard work had finally been seen by the tribe. And now that she knew the tribe members were not fooled by this fake act, she instantly decided to start her own acting too. After all, she needed to teach this woman a lesson and she needed to drag the truth out of her.

She took a small step forward, her voice soft but filled with a hidden knife as she said, “Mother, you have become even fatter. I don’t think you are any worse than me.” Her tone was sweet, but the sneer under it was impossible to hide.

“And who said I do not give father meat? I gave him daily food. Cooked food, fresh meat and everything. Every single day.”

Her voice dropped into a cold laugh.

But Mu Lihua felt lightning strike her as she heard each word of this fat bitch. Her mind froze before exploding in pure rage.

She gave the food every day.

She sent the food every day.

Then where did the food go?

Her eyes widened.

So that old hag had eaten everything. He had devoured every single bite without leaving even a scrap for his mate.

Mu Lihua’s whole body burned with anger. She felt like marching straight to him and demanding why he dared to eat everything without giving her a single bite. How dare he swallow everything by himself when his mate was still alive.

She could feel her blood boiling. She was ready to murder someone. She was ready to drag Su Mingxuan in front of the whole tribe and scream, “How dare you eat everything without me?!”

But the angry Mu Lihua made Su Qinglan smile even more. She was enjoying this moment. She wanted to push this old woman’s mask even more.

So she smiled sweetly again and said, “Mother, if you wanted something, you could have told me. I would have provided it happily. Come inside. I actually have something very important to tell you.”

Her tone suddenly became soft, caring, even reliable like a daughter who was deeply concerned for her mother.

She lowered her head slightly, acting extremely respectful even though Mu Lihua did not deserve even a drop of it. She even bent her knees a little, as if she were showing courtesy to an elder who could barely walk.

The tribe members watching from far away saw her action and nodded in approval, believing she was being thoughtful and considerate.

Su Qinglan felt a small burst of joy in her heart when she saw their reactions. She knew they trusted her. She knew they believed in her kindness. And they were right — she was kind. Just not to this bitch.

Without wasting any more time, because she did not want to spend her entire day dealing with this old hag, Su Qinglan grabbed Mu Lihua’s hand and gently but firmly pulled her inside.

Mu Lihua clearly did not want to go in. She wanted to continue her performance outside, where the tribe could see her suffering face. But her strength was nothing compared to Su Qinglan. She was dragged inside like a small bag of useless leaves.

Han Jue stepped forward to follow, but before he could enter, Su Qinglan stopped and turned to him with a smile. A soft, warm smile that instantly melted the cold rage in his chest. She placed a hand on his chest and said, “Just wait for me here. I will come out soon.”

Han Jue’s expression was clearly conflicted. He didn’t want to leave her alone with this woman.

But when Su Qinglan smiled like that and fluttered her long lashes in front of him, he suddenly felt his throat roll, his raging heart suddenly calmed down. Because he trusted her

He believed in her. And he knew very well that his female was not someone anyone could bully. She was much scarier than she looked and she had already done so much that even he could only admire her.

He nodded slowly, though his eyes stayed alert.

And the moment the hide curtain covering the tree house entrance dropped down behind Su Qinglan and Mu Lihua, a loud thud echoed from inside.

Han Jue’s entire body stiffened. His heart clenched tight at the sound, like something heavy had fallen or someone.
