Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off Chapter 699: The Beauty of a Kind Heart

The moment Su Qinglan walked deeper into the back rooms to check on the sleeping cub, the three triplets finally let out the breath they had been holding. Their frozen faces cracked, and their eyes literally sparkled with absolute awe.

"She... she is so beautiful," Yin Chen mumbled, his mind completely blown.

"She looks like a forest fairy straight from the sacred forest who just descended onto this mortal world..."

"Yeah," Yin Shen whispered blankly, nodding like a broken toy. "I thought our mother was pretty, but Elder Sister... she doesn’t even look real."

Lan Yue, who was sitting right next to them feeding a piece of winter fruit to the little lion cub, heard their dazed mumbling.

She couldn’t stop herself from bursting into a bright, melodious laugh.

"Hahaha! See? I told you so!" Lan Yue giggled, nudging Yin Lie’s stiff shoulder.

"When I met her for the very first time back then, I also thought the exact same thing! I just stood there staring at her like a complete idiot."

Mo Xiao Li chimed in with his mouth full of fruit. "Elder Sister is the prettiest in the whole wide world! No one can match her!"

Hearing their second sister and the little cub confirm it, the three brothers immediately slumped in their chairs, their expressions turning into a hilarious awe and deep, dramatic sorrow.

"Aah... Mother is so incredibly partial!" Yin Lie complained in a hushed, tragic whisper, puffing his cheeks out.

"How can this be? Elder Sister is like a heavenly fairy, and even you, Second Sister Lan Yue, are so pretty and cute. But what about the three of us?!"

"Exactly!" Yin Shen chimed in, looking thoroughly wronged as he pinched his own cheek.

"Why do the three of us still look not good? We are supposed to be fierce hawk beastmen, but we just look like scrawny little chicks!"

Yin Chen sighed heavily, staring down at his reflection in the hot bowl of soup Han Jue had given them.

"Although Father says we have remarkable, handsome features for our age... standing in front of Elder Sister just makes us completely fail in comparison. It’s an existential crisis."

Lan Yue laughed so hard she almost choked on her drink, watching her three dramatic triplet brothers internally weeping over their lack of "fairy-like" beauty.

Meanwhile, sitting on the other side of the hall, Rong Ye...who was now buttoned up to his chin like a proper, elegant young master...was silently listening to their conversation.

He raised an elegant eyebrow, his lips twitching with a smug, highly satisfied smile.

’Of course my female is the most beautiful fairy in the world,’ Rong Ye thought proudly, his previous embarrassment entirely forgotten as his ego inflated.

Lan Yue laughed right in their faces, shaking her head at her dramatic brothers.

"What do you need fairy-like beauty for anyway? Aren’t you beastmen? You just have to become powerful, and then the females will come flocking to you!"

The three brothers instantly turned embarrassed, their cheeks flushing red.

"Sister, this is not right," Yin Chen muttered, looking thoroughly wronged.

"Times have changed now. There are so many powerful beastmen everywhere in the city. Nowadays, if you are also handsome and beautiful, only then can you easily get a mate!"

Yin Shen quickly agreed, pointing his finger slightly toward Rong Ye.

"See! Each of the elder sister’s mates is so handsome. I feel like my eyes have been dazzled more in a single day than in my entire life!"

Rong Ye, who was sitting nearby pretending to be busy doing nothing, wore a massive, smug smile. He puffed out his chest proudly. He thought to himself that these three scrawny chicks actually had very good taste and knew how to praise real beauty.

They were completely right! Strength alone didn’t matter; a beautiful, flawless face like his would always help land a good female.

Just then, Su Qinglan walked back into the main hall. She was carrying her sleepy little head, Xiao San, in her arms.

The little cub was still half-asleep, resting his heavy head on her shoulder and rubbing his small face against her neck.

Hearing their conversation, Su Qinglan smiled softly and muttered, "There is nothing like that. Physical beauty does not matter at all. Outer beauty is only temporary; it is something that eventually withers away with time."

She sat down gently, adjusting the sleeping cub in her arms, and looked at her three younger brothers with a tender gaze.

"Beauty is only in the eyes of the beholder," Su Qinglan explained in a straightforward, calm voice.

"What truly matters is making your heart good. If a person is beautiful from the inside, then everything they do becomes good and pure. Outer appearance can change, but a kind soul remains forever."

She looked at each of the triplets individually and added, "And who says any of you aren’t beautiful? Everyone in this world has their own unique charm and strength. You don’t need to compare yourselves to anyone else."

The three brothers were completely stunned. They stared blankly at their elder sister, listening to her gentle, wise words.

In their eyes, as she spoke from her heart, she suddenly seemed even more beautiful and radiant than before.

The inner thoughts in their young minds shifted completely. Their elder sister was absolutely right.

A person’s words, character, and heart mattered a thousand times more than just a muscular torso or a pretty face. Their respect for her reached a whole new level.

Su Qinglan gently introduced Xiao San to everyone. "This is my third son. He likes sleeping a little too much."

Xiao San let out a tiny yawn and looked around the room with curious eyes.

When he had gone to sleep, none of these people were here. Why were there suddenly so many people inside the house now? Still, he waved his little palm at them and crisply greeted, "Good morning."

The four visitors immediately felt their hearts melt into a puddle at his sheer cuteness.

Next, Su Qinglan carefully placed a small incubator down on the table in front of them.

The four of them leaned forward, looking curiously inside. There was a smooth, white egg resting comfortably within it.

"This is also my cub, who has yet to hatch," Su Qinglan explained softly.
