Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off Chapter 890: If They Won’t Accept Them, We’ll Leave!
Previously on Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off...
Hearing Su Qinglan’s words, Rao looked up in absolute shock. The next second, he dropped to his knees with a loud thud!
He understood exactly what Su Qinglan meant, but he still couldn’t bring himself to believe it.
After all, sub-females living alongside high-level beastmen inside the city was something almost unheard of in the beast world! Sub-females were considered far too frail and weak, often forced to live on the outskirts in dark caves.
Even though Rao had always been extremely envious of the people living inside Dragon Beast City, he had never dared to bring it up to anyone. He knew his place and didn’t want to bother or burden her.
But now, with Su Qinglan pointing it out directly, Rao didn’t even know how to express his immense gratitude!
No matter how good of a place he searched for outside...even if he found a dry cave or a better spot in the forest...it could never compare to the safe, beautiful houses inside Dragon Beast City!
If he could get even a tiny corner of that paradise for his family, he would be ready to slave away his entire life for Su Qinglan! To him, this gentle female doctor was no different from the legendary Beast God himself!
Tears streamed down Rao’s face like an open waterfall. His three frail sub-females looked at Su Qinglan with wide, tear-filled eyes, filled with pure reverence.
Su Qinglan’s head spun as she looked at Rao kneeling and weeping on the dirt. She felt so troubled and helpless!
Hu Yan, standing right beside her, immediately noticed his female’s awkward, uncomfortable expression. Knowing very well that Su Qinglan hated it when people knelt before her, Hu Yan stepped forward.
Reaching down, Hu Yan effortlessly grabbed Rao by the back of his collar, pulling him right up off the ground!
"What are you trying to do?!" Hu Yan scolded sternly, staring down at the trembling male. "My female is trying to save your family, and you’re trying to shorten her life with all this kneeling?!"
Hu Yan puffed out his broad chest and added with a serious, reprimanding face, "If the Beast God up in the sky hears you calling my female the ’Beast God,’ won’t he get angry and take his wrath out on my female?! Do you want to bring bad luck to her?!"
Rao was completely stupefied by Hu Yan’s words! He stood there, his mouth wide open, utterly terrified by the thought that his extreme gratitude might bring a curse down on his savior.
"I—I didn’t mean to!" Rao wailed even harder, waving his hands in panic. "I would never bring bad luck to Sister Qinglan! I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!"
Su Qinglan covered her face, shaking her head helplessly at Hu Yan’s absurd logic. "Alright, alright! Hu Yan, stop scolding him."
Turning to Rao, Su Qinglan said gently, "Rao, stay here and take good care of your females today. I will go back into the city right now and arrange a proper, comfortable house for your family. Once it’s ready, you can pack up your things and move everyone inside."
Bai Ling and Lin Muyu both opened their mouths, wanting to say something about how breaking the rule for sub-females might cause some gossip in the city.
But looking at the dangerously frail, pitiful condition of the three pregnant sub-females, they quickly swallowed their words back down.
In the face of three human lives and their unborn cubs, traditional rules didn’t matter at all!
"Pack up your few belongings, Rao," Su Qinglan instructed smoothly. "We will head back now to get the place ready for you."
Rao wiped his tears frantically, bowing over and over again. "Thank you, Sister Qinglan! Thank you!"
Without wasting any more time, Su Qinglan, Hu Yan, Lin Muyu, and Bai Ling turned around and began their walk back toward the gates of Dragon Beast City.
Just as the four of them were leaving the cave to give Rao and his females time to pack their belongings, Lin Muyu suddenly moved closer to Su Qinglan.
"Lanlan, there’s something I want to ask you."
Su Qinglan glanced at her. "What is it?"
Lin Muyu lowered her voice and looked toward the cave behind them to make sure Rao and his females couldn’t hear.
"Won’t the other beastmen protest if you let them live inside Dragon Beast City? After all, that house belongs to the city. And I’ve heard that many beastmen look down on lesser beastmen, let alone sub-beastmen. What if they refuse to accept Rao’s family?"
Bai Ling also turned to look at Su Qinglan.
She had been thinking about the same thing but hadn’t brought it up.
Although Dragon Beast City had become much better under Su Qinglan’s influence, the prejudice that had existed for generations would not disappear overnight. Even if Rao worked hard, many beastmen might still refuse to see him as their equal.
"What if they protest?" Lin Muyu asked again, her eyes filled with concern. "What will you do then?"
Su Qinglan’s expression gradually darkened.
"They won’t."
Lin Muyu blinked. "What?"
"I said they won’t protest." Su Qinglan looked straight ahead, her voice calm and firm. "But if they do, we’ll leave this place."
The moment those words fell, Hu Yan, Lin Muyu, and Bai Ling all stopped walking.
For several seconds, none of them said anything. Then, almost at the same time, all three turned to stare at Su Qinglan with their mouths slightly open.
Even Hu Yan, who usually supported whatever his female decided to do, was stunned.
"Lanlan..." he finally called.
Su Qinglan looked at him. "What?"
"You just said we’d leave Dragon Beast City?"
"Yes."
"Just like that?"
"Then what else should I do? Force them to accept Rao’s family?"
Hu Yan was speechless.
Of course, he knew his female was not someone who would force others to do something against their will. But Dragon Beast City was their home. They had worked hard to make it what it was today, and now she was saying that she would leave if the residents refused to accept a few sub-beastmen?
Was she serious?
Judging from her expression, she was absolutely serious!
