Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off-Chapter 320: The Bribed Xiao Yi

"Once we got back," Lin Muyu continued, "things didn’t slow down. Once a male gets a taste of a female, how can they restrain themselves? Both Wang Mo and Shi Kuang were like starving animals. We mated day and night for days."

She felt like she had barely caught her breath before she realized something was wrong. Her body felt different, and her appetite had changed. She was pregnant...already!

"It’s only been a few days! Now I have no idea who the father is. Was it the lion in the flowers or Wang Mo back at the house? They both worked so hard, I can’t even tell!" Lin Muyu cried.

After listening to the whole chaotic story, Bai Ling and Su Qinglan burst into loud laughter. Bai Ling doubled over, clutching her stomach as she pointed a teasing finger at her friend.

"So, you’re finally admitting it!" Bai Ling teased, her eyes dancing with mischief.

"You got swept away by that lion’s muscles! Not bad, Sister Muyu. I never thought you were the type to fall for hard muscles, but here we are. Now you have the best of both worlds...a caring husband like Wang Mo and a powerful husband like Shi Kuang. You really aren’t losing out at all!"

Su Qinglan giggled, nodding in agreement. "It seems Lin Muyu has really good taste. Those lion muscles really did the trick if you’re already pregnant!"

Lin Muyu huffed, trying to look annoyed, but her blush gave her away. "Oh, can you stop teasing me, both of you! I was just... rewarding him for saving my life! And Wang Mo... well, he didn’t want to be left behind, so he worked twice as hard. My back still aches!"

"We can see that!" Bai Ling laughed again. "You’re glowing so much, it’s a wonder the whole tribe hasn’t realized it yet."

Su Qinglan patted Lin Muyu’s hand gently. "In all seriousness, I’m happy for you. Having two strong men to protect you while you carry the cub is a blessing. Even if you don’t know who the father is, that cub is going to be loved by everyone."

Xiao San, still tucked away in Su Qinglan’s pocket, let out a tiny, muffled sneeze, as if trying to remind them that they had forgotten to take him out.

But he was already exhausted just from listening to the adults’ noisy drama. He couldn’t understand most of what was happening...why were they laughing so much?

Letting out a small yawn, he decided to take a nap. Maybe when he opened his eyes again, his father would be back.

"Alright, alright," Lin Muyu said, finally cooling down. "Since we’re all here, let’s go to the tribe leader’s house? I need to register my new husbands anyway, and Su Qinglan needs to check on her father."

The three females finally stepped out of the hut, but the peaceful atmosphere they expected was gone. Su Qinglan froze, her eyes widening at the scene in the clearing.

Standing in the center of clearing was the Lion King, Shi Feng.

He looked as tall and imposing as a mountain, but what shocked Su Qinglan was what he was holding. Her eldest cub, Xiao Yi, was nestled comfortably in the Lion King’s powerful arms.

Meanwhile, Rong Ye was standing right in front of him, clutching Xiao Er tightly and glaring at Shi Feng with eyes full of fire.

"Give him back," Rong Ye hissed, his muscles tensed as if he were ready to pounce.

Su Qinglan felt a headache coming on. What happened in the ten minutes I was inside? she wondered. It seemed the men had started a silent war while she was away.

The moment the females appeared, all the beastmen snapped their heads in their direction.

And all the cubs abandoned their father and ran towards their mother, except Xiao Yi, who was held in the arms of Lion king.

Xiao Yi, who had been leaning contentedly against the Lion King’s chest, suddenly realized his mother was back.

He started squirming and kicking his little legs, wanting to reach her.

And the small roasted fish he had been chewing on...a gift from the Lion King lost its luster the moment he saw his brother, Xiao Er, already being carried toward Su Qinglan.

Shi Feng felt the cub’s resistance, and his smile twitched. He wasn’t ready to let go of the soft, chubby cub just yet.

He reached into a pouch at his waist and pulled out another bright red fish, waving it in front of Xiao Yi’s nose.

Xiao Yi’s little nose twitched. He looked at his mother, then at the delicious, salty fish.

He snatched the fish with his tiny paws and immediately stopped squirming, settling back into Shi Feng’s arms to enjoy his snack.

Rong Ye gritted his teeth so hard it made a clicking sound. He was furious.

This naughty cub! he thought. How can he be bribed so easily by someone with bad intentions? He made a mental note to teach Xiao Yi a lesson later about not taking food from strange lions.

Shi Feng, seeing he had won this round, ignored Rong Ye’s anger and walked straight toward Su Qinglan.

Xiao Yi was busy chewing on a tiny piece of roasted fish that Shi Feng had specially prepared...it was cut to the exact size of the cub’s paws and had no bones to choke on.

"Female Qinglan," Shi Feng said, his voice deep and smooth. He then turned his gaze to Lin Muyu and nodded respectfully.

He had already heard the news that Lin Muyu had mated with his younger brother, Shi Kuang.

He was genuinely stunned to see that she had become pregnant so quickly. It seemed the fertility of the females in this tribe was truly incredible.

As he looked at Lin Muyu’s glowing face and then back at Su Qinglan, a sudden, heavy thought entered his mind. If he also found a mate... if he stayed here... would he also become a father so easily?

His golden eyes landed on Su Qinglan, and his gaze became intense and lingering. He wondered if he, too, could have a chubby cub like Xiao Yi who shared his own features.
