Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off-Chapter 442: Teasing the Lion

Su Qinglan quickly swam toward Shi Feng. The closer she got, the clearer she could see the situation. Shi Feng was floating stiffly in the water with a very serious face. But his expression also looked extremely embarrassed.

Several thin green vines were still slowly drifting around him. One vine lazily circled his arm. Another gently tapped his shoulder. And one shameless vine was actually trying to crawl toward his waist again.

Shi Feng immediately grabbed it and pulled it away with an angry expression. "Stay away from me!" He looked like a very dignified lion who had suddenly fallen into a very ridiculous battle.

Su Qinglan stopped a short distance away and stared. Then she looked again. And again, her face slowly froze.

Because... what Shi Feng said earlier was actually true. These vines were not attacking him. They were not strangling him. They were just... touching him, very suspiciously touching him.

Shi Feng’s face immediately darkened. He tore the vine away again. "I told you to stay away!"

Su Qinglan suddenly covered her mouth. Her shoulders started shaking. She was trying very hard not to laugh.

But the sight was simply too ridiculous. A proud seven stripe beastman was being bullied by a few tiny vines. And he had absolutely no idea what to do.

Shi Feng noticed her shaking shoulders, and his face became even more embarrassed. "Lan Lan..." he said stiffly. "I told you. This plant is strange."

Just as Su Qinglan was about to say something, a familiar voice suddenly laughed inside her mind. "Hahaha!" "It seems the host’s plants have become smarter."

Su Qinglan immediately frowned. "You again?" she said in her mind. "What do you mean, ’smarter’?"

The system sounded very amused. "It is very simple." "Your plants are connected to you."

"They grow from your power, your thoughts, and your emotions." Su Qinglan blinked. "...So?"

The system continued cheerfully. "It seems the host’s thoughts have rubbed off on them." Su Qinglan felt a sudden bad feeling.

"What thoughts?" The system laughed again. "Well..."

"The host like this lion very much. You think he is cute and enjoy teasing him, and you also enjoy touching him." Su Qinglan’s eyes widened slightly.

"And because these plants are connected to you... they naturally copied your thoughts."

The system sounded extremely entertained now. "So now your plants are also doing exactly what you want to do."

Su Qinglan’s brain went blank. "...What?"

She slowly looked at the vines again. One vine gently brushed Shi Feng’s arm. One even tried to sneak toward his waistband. Shi Feng immediately slapped it away.

His face was red with anger and embarrassment. "Shameless demon plant!"

Su Qinglan’s face instantly turned red. Wait.

If the plants were copying her thoughts... Then didn’t that mean...

They were touching him because she wanted to touch him.

Her brain suddenly felt very hot. Inside her mind, the system laughed loudly.

"Hahaha!" "Congratulations, host."

"It seems your plants are expressing your true feelings." Su Qinglan’s face darkened.

"Shut up!"

Meanwhile, Shi Feng was still fighting the vines. He tore another one away angrily.

"Lan Lan," he said seriously, "this demon plant is extremely shameless."

Su Qinglan was still floating in the water with a burning face when the vines suddenly moved again. This time they became even bolder.

Before Shi Feng could react...Swish!

One vine suddenly darted forward and tugged sharply. In the next second...his hide skirt was pulled down in one smooth motion.

The ocean went silent. Shi Feng froze. His brain stopped working.

Then his face slowly turned bright red. "...!"

For two full seconds he did not move. Then... "YOU SHAMELESS PLANTS!"

His roar echoed across the sea. Shi Feng instantly grabbed his hide skirt and pulled it back up with a furious expression.

His entire face was red from embarrassment and anger. His hands slowly curled.

His fingers turned into sharp claws. "I will tear you all apart!"

The water around him trembled slightly from the sudden burst of beastman aura.

The vines instantly froze. A moment ago they had been happily playing.

Now they looked like a group of children who had suddenly realized they had done something terrible.

They slowly drooped. One vine quietly slid away. Another curled up sadly.

One even hid behind another vine. They looked extremely pitiful.

As if they were about to cry.

At that exact moment, Su Qinglan suddenly felt a strange emotion in her chest.

A soft sadness and a guilty feeling. It felt exactly like her own emotions.

She blinked in surprise. Then she looked at the vines again. The moment she saw their drooping shapes, her heart tightened.

It felt like watching her own children being scolded. Without thinking, she immediately swam forward and hugged the vines.

"Don’t kill them!"

She held them protectively in her arms. "They are so pitiful!"

Shi Feng froze. He stared at her in disbelief.

"Lan Lan!"

"How can you defend them?!"

His face was still red with anger and embarrassment. "I have never seen such a shameless plant!"

He pointed accusingly at the vines. "I bet they are sea monsters!"

Su Qinglan blinked. "...Sea monsters?" Shi Feng nodded very seriously.

"I heard stories before."

"There is a female monster living in the sea."

"She likes to target males." His expression became extremely grim.

"She plays with them until she is satisfied."

"Then when they are no longer useful... she eats them."

Su Qinglan’s face slowly turned stiff. She was still hugging the vines.

And suddenly... The story sounded extremely familiar.

Meanwhile, Shi Feng did not notice something strange.

The vines had slowly started moving again. But this time they were not touching him.

Instead, they quietly hid behind Su Qinglan; one vine peeked out slightly. Then quickly hid again when Shi Feng looked in their direction.

Another vine wrapped gently around Su Qinglan’s arm.

They looked like a group of frightened children hiding behind their mother.

Su Qinglan’s face slowly became hotter.

Because according to Shi Feng’s story...

This "female sea monster" sounded suspiciously like a shameless siren.

And somehow... She felt like he was indirectly describing her.
