Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off Chapter 889: The Emergency Call from the Cave

Lin Muyu sauntered into Su Qinglan’s house early in the morning, carrying a half-eaten pear in her hand. Taking a lazy bite of her fruit, she stepped into the courtyard, only to be instantly hit with a wave of "dog food"!

Right in the middle of the yard, Su Qinglan was standing on her tiptoes, gently wiping the remaining dirt off Hu Yan’s face with a damp cloth. Hu Yan sat there obediently like a giant, head-drooping tiger, his fierce eyes melting into sweet honey as he looked at his female.

Lin Muyu’s mouth twitched in utter disgust. She dramatically shielded her eyes with her hands! "Agh! My eyes! My innocent eyes are being blinded by this display of affection!"

She tossed her half-eaten pear core into the trash, snickering as she walked past them toward the sleepy cubs.

The little ones were sitting on the porch, swaying droopily as they rubbed their sleepy eyes. Lin Muyu couldn’t resist going over to pinch their soft, chubby cheeks, teasing them until they let out discontented squeaks!

Without waiting for an invitation, Lin Muyu smoothly squeezed herself right onto an empty seat at the breakfast table.

Even though her own beast husband knew how to cook decent meals, the food prepared in Su Qinglan’s house was absolute top-notch perfection!

Lin Muyu had come over with the sole purpose of freeloading a delicious breakfast! She picked up a warm, freshly steamed meat bun and took a huge, satisfied bite, sighing in pure bliss.

However, just as everyone was enjoying their food and chatting happily around the table, a panicked voice shattered the peaceful morning atmosphere!

"Sister Qinglan! SISTER QINGLAN! PLEASE SAVE HER! "

A young beastman burst through the courtyard gates like a runaway storm! It was Rao, the hard-working beastman who took care of the farming fields for the city. Before anyone could even react, Rao stumbled forward and dropped heavily onto his knees right in front of Su Qinglan!

His face was deathly pale, covered in cold sweat, and his eyes were red with frantic tears. He grabbed the hem of Su Qinglan’s skirt, trembling violently.

"Sister Qinglan... please, I beg you! Save my female!" Rao sobbed out frantically, his voice cracking with fear.

"She... she suddenly fell sick! She started vomiting blood! Is she going to die?! Is something terrible going to happen to her and the cubs?!"

Su Qinglan’s expression turned instantly serious! She set down her chopsticks, stepping forward to pull Rao up. "Don’t panic, Rao! Take a deep breath. Tell me, which one of your females is sick? Let’s go right now...I’ll examine her!"

Su Qinglan knew very well that sub-females had much weaker physical constitutions than ordinary females. Being pregnant was already a huge burden on their frail bodies, so vomiting blood was a critical, life-threatening emergency!

"Hu Yan, come with me!" Su Qinglan called out urgently, grabbing her portable medical basket.

Hu Yan immediately stood up, his playful mood instantly vanishing, replaced by his reliable, powerful aura. "Right behind you, Lan Lan!"

Lin Muyu, who was halfway through another delicious meat bun, wiped her mouth with her sleeve and stood up too. She had heard rumors that Rao was mated to sub-females, but she had never seen a sub-female with her own eyes before!

Overwhelmed by curiosity, she decided to tag along to see if she could help. "Wait for me! I’m coming too!" Lin Muyu called out, jogging after them.

As the group rushed down the main road leading out of Dragon Beast City, they happened to run right into Bai Ling, who was out taking a walk. Seeing Su Qinglan carrying her medical box with a grim expression, Bei Ling’s curious nature kicked in immediately!

"Sister Qinglan! What happened?" Bai Ling asked in surprise.

Upon hearing that Rao’s pregnant sub-female was vomiting blood, Bai Ling gasped in shock. She quickly handed her own little cubs over to her beast husband, who was walking nearby, and immediately tagged along with the group to offer help!

The four of them... Su Qinglan, Hu Yan, Lin Muyu, and Bai Ling...hurried after the frantic Rao, heading out of Dragon Beast City.

Even though Rao’s living conditions had improved significantly ever since he started working on Su Qinglan’s farm fields, he and his three pregnant sub-females still lived in their old, secluded cave outside the city defenses.

After twenty minutes of fast walking, Rao led them to a rocky hillside and stopped in front of a tiny, low mountain cave opening.

The entrance was so narrow and low to the ground that an adult couldn’t even stand up straight...anyone trying to enter would have to physically crawl inside on their hands and knees!

Su Qinglan stopped at the mouth of the dark, cramped cave, her brow furrowing slightly. Inspecting a pregnant, critically ill patient inside a dark, airless cave where they couldn’t even stand upright was completely impossible!

Su Qinglan turned to Rao and said firmly, "Rao, the cave is too cramped and dark for me to treat her properly inside. Bring her out here right now! Lay her down carefully on the clean grass under the shade of that big tree!"

Rao didn’t hesitate for a single microsecond! Nodding frantic tears out of his eyes, he scrambled down on all fours and ducked straight into the dark, cramped cave.

A moment later, he carefully emerged, cradling a frail, tiny figure in his strong arms. He moved with extreme gentleness, as if he were carrying a delicate piece of glass that might shatter at the slightest bump.

The sick sub-female looked terribly weak. Her skin was a sickly, pale yellow, her frame was shockingly slender, and her swollen pregnant belly looked unnaturally heavy against her thin body. Blood trickled from the corner of her lips, staining her pale chin red.

Rao laid her down gently on a clean bed of soft grass right beneath the shady branches of the large tree, trembling as he held her limp, cold hand. "Sister Qinglan... please! She took one bite of soup this morning and suddenly collapsed, coughing up blood!"

Lin Muyu and Bai Ling leaned in closer, their eyes wide with shock. Lin Muyu stared in disbelief... This sub-female looked barely heavier than a child, yet she was carrying a full-term cub! Her physical condition was horrifyingly weak.

Su Qinglan immediately knelt beside the girl. "Everyone, back up! Give her room to breathe!" Su Qinglan ordered sharply.

Lin Muyu, Bai Ling, and Hu Yan instantly took three steps back, forming a protective barrier to keep the area clear and quiet.

Su Qinglan rested three fingers directly onto the sub-female’s wrist, channeling a strand of her pure healing-type energy straight into her pulse points. The warm, green life force flowed into the girl’s weak body, acting like an advanced internal diagnostic scanner.

Within seconds, Su Qinglan’s brows furrowed deeply.

"She didn’t eat poison," Su Qinglan declared, her voice calm but authoritative.

"Her body is suffering from severe nutritional depletion! Sub-females do not possess the strong beast vitality of ordinary females. Her body is completely exhausted because the cub inside her is absorbing far too much energy and nutrition from her bloodstream!"

Rao’s face turned paper-white. "I... I tried to feed her as much meat as possible! I gave her all my rations!"

"Her stomach is too weak to process tough beast meat!" Su Qinglan explained rapidly while opening her medical kit. "Her stomach lining tore from violent retching caused by internal weakness, which is why she vomited blood!"

Without wasting another second, Su Qinglan pressed her palm gently over the girl’s lower abdomen. Bright, soothing green light erupted from her hand, wrapping around the swollen belly like a warm blanket!

She was directly nourishing the hungry, agitated cub inside, pacifying its instincts so it would stop aggressively draining its weak mother’s life force.

Slowly but surely, the sub-female’s shallow, ragged breathing began to even out. The agonizing pain etched into her face melted away, and a faint, healthy pink tint returned to her pale cheeks!

Cough...

The sub-female let out a soft, tiny gasp, her long eyelashes fluttering open as she looked up with hazy, tear-filled eyes. "Rao...?"

"LILI!" Rao burst into ugly tears, dropping to his knees and hugging his mate’s head against his chest. "You’re awake! You’re okay! Sister Qinglan saved you!"

Lin Muyu let out a long breath she didn’t realize she was holding, shaking her head in amazement. "Holy crap, Qinglan... you really are a miracle worker! That green light is insane!"

Bai Ling wiped a tear from her eye, patting her heart. "Thank the Beast God! I was so scared she wouldn’t make it!"

Su Qinglan stood up, looking down at the weeping Rao with a stern expression.

"She is out of danger for now, but this is only a temporary fix," Su Qinglan said seriously. "If she stays in this dark, damp cave eating tough meat, she won’t survive the birth next month. None of your three sub-females will!"

Rao froze, looking up in panic. "Then... then what should I do, Sister Qinglan? I’ll do anything!"

Su Qinglan looked toward the bright, thriving city walls of Dragon Beast City in the distance, a firm decision forming in her mind.
