Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off-Chapter 437: My Drunk Husband Thinks I’m a Sweet Snack!
For half a second she froze.
Then...
Her face twisted. Her entire expression collapsed into pure shock.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"
She nearly choked. Her throat burned; the taste was sharp and strange, and a weird warmth spread through her chest.
She immediately tried to spit it out.
"Bleh—!"
Rong Ye doubled over laughing. Le Yang looked terrified. He had never seen any female drinking this; it wouldn’t harm her, right? He was really afraid.
Hu Yan stared like his soul had left his body.
"My... my drink..."
Su Qinglan shoved the bowl back at him with a horrified expression. "This tastes awful!"
Shi Feng leaned forward very seriously. "You get used to it."
Han Jue nodded. "...After ten bowls."
Su Qinglan looked at them like they were insane. "You drank TEN bowls?!"
Hu Yan puffed his chest proudly. "Twelve."
Then he leaned sideways. Shi Feng leaned the other direction.
Both of them slowly tipped toward each other...
THUMP.
They knocked heads. The two men blinked slowly.
Shi Feng pointed at Hu Yan. "...You attacked me."
Hu Yan looked outraged. "You moved first!"
Behind them, Xuan Long was still smiling gently. Han Jue sighed and rubbed his temples.
Le Yang whispered nervously to Su Qinglan. "I think... they might fall over soon."
Right on cue...Hu Yan and Shi Feng both tried to stand up at the same time.
They made it exactly two steps. Then collapsed back onto the ground like defeated warriors.
Su Qinglan stared at the scene in disbelief.
Rong Ye wiped tears of laughter from his eyes. He said cheerfully. "Look, Lan Lan, this is their real face. They always pretend to be mature, but now they can’t even walk properly."
Su Qinglan rubbed her forehead as she looked at the disastrous group in front of her. She sighed deeply.
"They can’t even walk," she muttered.
Then she raised her voice and looked at the surrounding beastmen.
"Can someone help me take them back to my cave?"
Several nearby males immediately stood up. No one wanted to miss the chance to help the female who had helped their tribe so much.
Lan Yue also stepped forward with a helpless laugh.
"Looks like sister husbands overestimated themselves." Her two husbands quickly moved forward to assist.
Hu Yan and Shi Feng were the easiest problem to solve. Each of Lan Yue’s husbands grabbed one of them under the arms and pulled them up.
Hu Yan blinked slowly as his feet left the ground.
"Hey... the world is moving."
Shi Feng nodded seriously.
"...It shouldn’t do that."
Meanwhile Rong Ye walked over to Han Jue and slung one of Han Jue’s arms over his shoulder.
"Come on, brother," Rong Ye said with a grin. "Time to go home."
Han Jue frowned slightly, clearly trying very hard to maintain his dignity.
"I can walk"; he immediately stumbled.
Rong Ye snorted. "Of course you can."
But he still held him firmly so he wouldn’t fall.
A few steps away, Xuan Long calmly stood up on his own. His movements were slow but steady.
One beastman instinctively reached out to support him. Xuan Long gently raised a hand and stopped him.
"No need," he said peacefully.
"I can manage." He began walking forward with careful, measured steps.
Su Qinglan watched him closely. Her eyes slowly narrowed.
Was he really drunk?
Or was he pretending?
Xuan Long continued walking calmly, that same soft smile on his face. It was impossible to tell.
Behind Su Qinglan, two small figures hopped along happily.
The two tiger cubs were following their mother while carrying their little brother.
Little Xiao San was lying across Xiao Yi’s back like a sleepy prince.
His tiny belly was round from the enormous amount of food he had eaten.
Su Qinglan glanced back at them and couldn’t help sighing again.
What a chaotic night.
Lan Yue’s husbands did not stay long after reaching the cave. The moment they carefully dragged the drunk men inside, both of them immediately stepped back toward the entrance like soldiers escaping a battlefield.
One of them wiped his forehead.
"Alright... we delivered them."
The other nodded quickly.
"Good luck."
Then both men turned around and left so fast it almost looked like they were running.
Su Qinglan didn’t even have time to thank them. She slowly looked down at the cave floor. Hu Yan... Shi Feng and Han Jue were lying in a messy pile like three fallen trees.
None of them even tried to move. Their eyes were already half-closed. Shi Feng was mumbling something about "suspicious moons." Han Jue looked like he was trying very hard to remember how breathing worked.
Before Su Qinglan could say anything, Xuan Long calmly walked past everyone. Without hesitation, he climbed onto the stone bed, adjusted his hide blanket neatly, and lay down like a perfectly civilized person. He closed his eyes.
Within two seconds... he was asleep. Su Qinglan stared at him.
"...Are you even drunk?"
Of course there was no reply. She sighed heavily and looked back at the three men on the floor.
"How are we going to bring them to the bed?"
She rubbed her forehead again. She couldn’t ask Lan Yue’s husbands to carry them inside earlier. No male would casually enter another female’s cave...especially one who already had mates.
That would cause endless trouble. So now... She was stuck.
"Fine," she muttered. She walked over and crouched beside Hu Yan.
"Hu Yan, wake up."
She lightly pushed his shoulder.
That was a mistake. In one sudden movement... Hu Yan grabbed her wrist and pulled her down.
"Hey—!"
Before she could react, she was sitting directly on his lap. Hu Yan wrapped his arms around her like a giant sleepy tiger hugging a pillow. Then he buried his face into her shoulder.
"Female...have we ever met?"
He sighed happily.
"You are so sweet..."
Su Qinglan froze. Then her eye twitched. Hu Yan sniffed her shoulder.
"Can I take a bite of you..."
He mumbled dreamily. And then... He licked her shoulder.
Su Qinglan’s brain went blank.
"HEY!"
She tried to shove his head away.
"You are dreaming! I am not sweet."
But Hu Yan refused to move. He was like an oversized clingy beast. He rubbed his face against her shoulder again. Then licked her arm. Then her collar.
"Female, you smell nice..."
Su Qinglan struggled.
"Stop licking me!"
But Hu Yan only hugged her tighter, like she was a precious treasure. Suddenly he spoke again in a very serious, drunk voice.
"Female... give me cubs."
Su Qinglan blinked. Hu Yan continued mumbling into her shoulder.
"If you give me cubs... I will love them very much."
He nodded to himself proudly.
"They will have their own cubs..."
"Then I will have a very big family..."
Su Qinglan felt her eye twitch violently.
"You already have cubs."
Hu Yan suddenly lifted his head. His expression turned shocked. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
"Cubs?"
He stared at her like she had just accused him of a crime.
"What?!"
"I have not even mated!"
"How could I have cubs?!"
He pointed dramatically at his chest.
"Female! You cannot doubt my character!"
"I am very pure!"
"I have already fallen for you!"
