Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off Chapter 704: The Battle to Be the Favorite Brother-in-Law

Lan Yue, however, immediately nodded her head at them.

"Take them! Our brothers-in-law always give out gifts. I’ve already received lots of good things from them," she spoke up, acting as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

Su Qinglan laughed softly at her brothers’ hesitation. "Go ahead, don’t worry. Your brother-in-law is very rich."

Xuan Long didn’t deny it. He simply sat there quietly, gently petting the little snake hiding inside his robe, acting as if giving away those bags meant absolutely nothing to him.

Seeing how naturally their sister and brother-in-law acted, the heavy knots in the three brothers’ hearts finally completely relaxed.

Their sister was truly being cherished here. All of her formidable husbands obviously adored her, and even this cold, quiet beastman silently spoiled everyone around him.

Their worries about her being bullied vanished into thin air.

Finally, Yin Chen carefully pulled the drawstring and opened his bag.

The very next second, his eyes widened so large they almost popped out. "...!"

Yin Shen also hurriedly opened his bag, followed immediately by Yin Lie. The three of them froze at the exact same time, completely paralyzed.

The bags... were completely packed to the brim with crystal cores! Not just one or two, but many! The vibrant, colorful light reflecting off the stones almost shone directly into their eyes. The three brothers were completely dazzled, their young minds blown.

"T-These..." Yin Lie swallowed hard, his throat going dry. "They’re... Purple-grade crystal cores?!"

The three brothers almost forgot how to breathe. Purple grade! Back in their old territory, they had only ever seen the lowest red-grade and orange-grade crystal cores.

They had never even laid eyes on a green-grade core in person. Yet now, their big brother-in-law had casually handed them entire pouches full of legendary purple-grade cores as if they were common pebbles!

Their hands began to tremble violently. They looked up at Xuan Long with sheer disbelief. "B-Brother-in-law... are these... really for us?"

Xuan Long calmly nodded his head. "Yes."

The three brothers instantly exploded with excitement, their faces lighting up. "Thank you, brother-in-law!" They almost jumped straight out of their seats.

Yin Lie was so thrilled he even took a massive step forward, looking as though he wanted to throw himself into Xuan Long’s arms for a giant hug.

But then he noticed the fiercely protective Xiao San already tightly occupying that position on his father’s lap, glaring at him.

Yin Lie stopped awkwardly in his tracks, quietly stepping back to his seat.

Xiao San hugged his father even tighter, his eyes saying: This seat belongs to me!

The three brothers could only stare at Xuan Long with sparkling, adoring eyes.

At this exact moment, forget about just becoming ordinary relatives...they almost wanted to leave home and become their big brother-in-law’s loyal, lifelong followers!

After all, who on earth wouldn’t want such a staggeringly generous, cool big brother-in-law?At the same time...

Hu Yan, Han Jue, Rong Ye, and Shi Feng looked at each other. They had also noticed the purple crystal cores from where they were standing.

For a brief moment, all four of them were thoroughly stunned.

Then... something silently awakened deep inside them.

Competitive spirit flared up instantly. No way. They absolutely couldn’t let Xuan Long win all the favor and admiration from Su Qinglan’s younger brothers all by himself!

The four of them immediately stood up at the exact same time. Without saying a single word to anyone, they hurried away toward their respective cabinets.

Everyone at the table looked after them in utter confusion.

A brief moment later... the four returned, each carrying something impressive.

Hu Yan marched up first, placing a beautiful, thick, flawlessly preserved winter beast hide right in front of the brothers.

"This is from your brother-in-law Hu Yan. It will keep you warm during the blizzards."

Han Jue came next, taking out several carefully preserved, rare medicinal herbs that smelled incredibly refreshing.

"This is from your brother-in-law Han Jue. They heal wounds instantly."

Rong Ye proudly stepped up, flashing a smug smile as he placed down a beautifully polished giant beast fang and several rare beast claws.

"This is from your brother-in-law Rong Ye. Good for crafting weapons."

Shi Feng calmly walked over last, placing down a fine, incredibly sharp dagger expertly carved from a powerful flying beast’s bone.

"And this is from your brother-in-law Shi Feng."

Before the three brothers could even react or say a word... the four towering men had already stuffed the massive pile of treasures directly into their arms.

"..."

The three brothers looked down at their laps. Then they looked at the literal mountain of high-grade gifts.

Then they looked back up at the five incredibly powerful, intensely staring brother-in-laws. They were completely speechless.

Their very first visit to their sister’s house... had somehow turned into an absolute treasure hunt jackpot.

Lan Yue and Su Qinglan were equally stunned by the sudden display of aggressive gift-giving. Lan Yue immediately puffed out her cheeks in mock offense.

"This isn’t fair!" She crossed her arms tightly and glared at all five brother-in-laws.

"You never gave me this many gifts at once! You all clearly like these three brats more!" She pouted dramatically, her lower lip sticking out.

The three brothers immediately protested from behind their mountain of treasure. "We’re not brats!"

Lan Yue completely ignored them. She quickly leaned over and hugged Su Qinglan’s arm tightly.

"Sister... look at them, they’re bullying me."

Su Qinglan couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter at the hilarious jealousy.

She gently patted Lan Yue’s head to soothe her. "Don’t worry. Your elder sister still loves you the most."

The moment she heard those magical words... Lan Yue’s grumpy mood instantly brightened up. She proudly lifted her chin and looked at her three younger brothers triumphantly.

"Hmph. Did you hear that? I’m still Number One in this house."

The three brothers looked at each other helplessly, giving a synchronized sigh. Fine. She could have first place. They already had enough priceless treasures today to be completely satisfied anyway.

Meanwhile... not everyone was paying attention to the grand display of gifts.

Mo Xiao Li hadn’t even looked at the crystal cores or the weapons once. His eyes were completely fixed on only one place: the kitchen door.

His chubby little face was full of deep, serious thought.

He quietly rubbed his chin like a tiny philosopher. ’There should still be a lot of hot food left over in those pots... Can I secretly pack some and take it home?’

Brother-in-law’s cooking was simply too good. It would be a total sin and a waste to leave anything behind! The more he thought about the delicious meat, the brighter his little eyes became.

At that exact moment, Xiao Er quietly walked over to his side. Behind him came Xiao Yi. The two cubs had already changed back into their fluffy, chubby tiger forms.

They looked at Mo Xiao Li expectantly, their tails wagging.

Mo Xiao Li lowered his voice to a stealthy whisper. "Let’s go."

The two little tigers immediately nodded their heads in perfect understanding.

The three little troublemakers carefully and quietly sneaked toward the kitchen while the adults were distracted.

One human child in front, with two fluffy tiger cubs following directly behind his heels. They looked exactly like a tiny leader bringing along his loyal followers on a highly dangerous, classified mission.

Their grand mission... to secretly rescue the delicious leftovers before anyone else found them!
