Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off Chapter 633: For Our Family

Before Xuan Long could continue speaking, Su Qinglan suddenly shifted closer and wrapped her arms around his waist.

The unexpected movement caught him completely off guard.

His body stiffened for a brief moment as she rested her head against his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. The coldness that had been lingering in his emerald eyes instantly melted away, replaced by warmth and tenderness.

Almost instinctively, his arms closed around her.

The room became quiet.

Even An Mo, who had been watching from the side, wisely chose not to interrupt.

For several moments, Su Qinglan remained silent, leaning comfortably against Xuan Long as though drawing strength from his presence. Only after listening to the steady beat of his heart did she finally speak.

"Am I not doing this for our daughter?"

Her voice was soft, but the determination hidden within those simple words was impossible to miss.

Slowly, Su Qinglan buried her face against Xuan Long’s chest once more, her arms remaining firmly wrapped around his waist. The room was quiet except for the steady rhythm of Xuan Long’s heartbeat beneath her ear.

Then, in a soft voice, she finally spoke.

"Xuan Long, you have to become stronger."

The words were gentle, yet they immediately caused him to pause. His hand, which had been slowly stroking her back, stopped briefly before continuing. Lowering his head, he looked at the woman in his arms, sensing that there was far more hidden behind those simple words.

Su Qinglan remained nestled against his chest as she continued speaking. "You have to become strong enough to protect our entire family. Strong enough that nobody will ever dare threaten us again. Strong enough that nobody can force us to make choices we don’t want to make."

Her voice never rose, nor did she sound angry. Yet every word carried an undeniable weight that settled heavily within Xuan Long’s heart.

At the same time, Su Qinglan also vowed in her heart. She would become stronger as well.

Strong enough that nobody would ever be able to harm the people she loved. Strong enough that even those powerful God Clans of the Upper Domain would have to think carefully before standing against her.

One day, if circumstances demanded it, she would personally eliminate every threat surrounding her family with her own hands.

Across the room, An Mo suddenly felt a strange chill run down his spine. He had no idea why, but for a brief moment, it felt as though something terrifying had quietly awakened.

The feeling disappeared almost as quickly as it came, leaving him wondering whether he had simply imagined it.

Meanwhile, Xuan Long continued to hold Su Qinglan close. His hand moved gently across her back, but the warmth that had filled his emerald eyes slowly faded. In its place appeared a coldness far more frightening than before.

"Lanlan."

His voice was low and steady, carrying a seriousness that seemed to make the entire room heavier.

Su Qinglan lifted her head slightly and looked at him.

Xuan Long’s gaze remained fixed ahead as he continued speaking.

"Nothing like that will happen again."

There was no hesitation in his voice.

Then he quietly admitted, "It was my fault. I allowed danger to approach our family. I allowed the Teng Serpent Clan to believe they still had the right to interfere in my life."

As he spoke, his hand slowly tightened around her waist. A dangerous glint flashed through his eyes, carrying an icy killing intent that even An Mo could clearly sense.

"I won’t make the same mistake twice."

The moment those words left his mouth, Su Qinglan immediately shook her head.

"No."

Reaching up, she gently touched his cheek.

"It wasn’t your fault."

Her voice was firm enough to stop him from arguing.

"We simply weren’t prepared. Our lives became peaceful. We became comfortable. We forgot that danger still existed."

A soft sigh escaped her lips as she leaned against him once more.

"This world isn’t perfect."

Her gaze drifted toward the window where sunlight quietly streamed into the room.

"Every world has enemies. Every world has people who want something from others. Every world has conflicts."

A faint smile appeared on her face.

"The only thing we can do is create a safe haven for our family."

Her words caused both men to fall silent.

Because they knew she was right.

It didn’t matter whether it was the Beast World, the Upper Domain, or any other realm. Danger would always exist somewhere. There would always be greed, ambition, and conflict.

The only difference was whether they possessed enough strength to stand against it.

For a long time, nobody spoke.

Then Xuan Long finally nodded.

Slowly lowering his head, he pressed a gentle kiss against Su Qinglan’s forehead.

"Don’t worry."

"I’ll handle the Teng Serpent Clan."

The temperature in the room seemed to drop slightly as his emerald eyes turned cold.

"They will regret everything."

A terrifying pressure slowly leaked from his body, causing the air itself to grow heavier.

"I’ll return to the Upper Domain. I’ll reclaim my position."

His voice remained steady, but the killing intent hidden beneath every word was impossible to miss.

"And when I do..."

The corners of his lips curved into a cold smile.

"The entire Teng Serpent Clan will kneel before me. They will never dare touch my family again."

Even An Mo nearly whistled in appreciation. Now this was the Xuan Long he remembered.

The former tyrant of the Teng Serpent Clan. The man whose name alone had once caused countless enemies to tremble.

For years, Xuan Long had deliberately distanced himself from power, choosing a peaceful life far away from the endless struggles of the Upper Domain. Yet now, those fools had crossed the one line they should never have touched.

His family.

And for that, they would pay the price.

Su Qinglan quietly stared at him for several moments. Then, slowly, a smile appeared on her face.

"Good."

She snuggled comfortably against him once more, allowing herself to relax completely within his embrace.

"Then I’ll wait for your victory."

The icy coldness in Xuan Long’s eyes instantly melted away.

Looking down at the woman in his arms, his expression softened once again. His hand gently rested atop her head as though protecting the most precious treasure in existence.
