Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off Chapter 728: His Majesty, the Fluffy Menace

Su Qinglan held the fluffy little fox cub tightly in her arms, looking at the stunned elders of Fox Beast City with a completely innocent and gentle smile.

She cleared her throat softly, blinking her beautiful eyes as she put on a perfect show of confusion.

"Elders," Su Qinglan spoke up, her voice sweet and filled with fake bewilderment.

"I am the mother of this little fellow. Why... why are you all praising my cub so loudly? Did he do something wrong?"

She turned her head slightly, looking down at the little fox cub in her embrace with a stern but fake expression. "Ciao Ciao, tell Mother the truth. Did you bully these honorable elders just now?"

She then quickly looked back at the crowd, bowing her head slightly in an apologetic manner. "I am so sorry if my son caused you any trouble. He is still very young and doesn’t know any better."

The elders were completely flustered by her sudden politeness. They hurriedly clustered together, stepping forward in front of her with deeply respectful expressions.

In the beast world, a female who could give birth to such a powerful, miraculous cub was worth more than gold.

"Noble female!" the head elder said, his voice trembling slightly as he looked at her. "Is this miraculous little cub truly yours?"

Su Qinglan nodded her head gracefully, her eyes curving into soft crescents. "Yes, I am his beast mother. I gave birth to him just a few months ago."

Hearing her confirmation, the elders were entirely awestruck. They immediately nodded their heads in deep respect, showering her with endless praise.

"You are truly a magnificent and blessed female! To be able to give birth to such an excellent, divine cub is a miracle from the Beast God himself!"

Hearing the high praise, the little fox cub Ciao Ciao puffed out his tiny chest even more, lifting his little snout high into the air. His fluffy face was completely covered with a proud, smug expression, and he looked incredibly satisfied with himself.

The head elder finally took another step forward, clearing his throat as he prepared to explain the situation. "Noble female, we are the high elders from Fox Beast City. Our previous leader was recently defeated by a new, powerful ruler."

He pointed a shaking finger toward the snow where Rong Ye was still pretending to be completely knocked out and unconscious.

"In our Fox Beast City, our laws are very simple: only the absolute strongest Nine-Tailed Fox beastman can rule. If anyone can completely overpower the current leader, then that person automatically takes the throne."

The elder paused, looking at the tiny cub with wide, worshipful eyes.

"Just now, we all saw it with our own eyes. Your little cub completely overpowered and defeated our leader! He literally plastered him into the snow! Therefore, by the sacred laws of our clan, the position of the Lord of Fox Beast City must now fall onto the shoulders of this proud little cub!"

Hearing this grand explanation, Su Qinglan played her part perfectly. Her eyes widened to the size of saucers, and her gaze shook with intense shock.

She looked completely speechless, as if she could not believe what she was hearing. Deep down, however, she was laughing hysterically. Her little cub was truly an amazing actor!

The elders looked at her shocked face, completely convinced by her confusion.

They whispered among themselves, nodding at how oblivious this gentle female seemed to be regarding her own son’s terrifying capabilities.

"Therefore," the head elder continued smoothly, "we would like to formally invite both you, your beast husbands, and the young leader to relocate to Fox Beast City immediately. It is the only grand palace fit for a magnificent female and a genius cub like him."

The moment the invitation was extended, Su Qinglan’s expression shifted from shocked to deeply protective.

She pulled Ciao Ciao even closer to her chest, wrapping her arms tightly around him as she stepped back.

"No, I absolutely won’t go," Su Qinglan said firmly, her voice filled with a mother’s stubbornness.

"My entire life, my home, and my family are right here in the Dragon Beast City. We cannot pack up and leave everything behind."

The elders were stunned by her immediate refusal. They immediately began to panic, desperately trying to persuade her.

They started listing all the incredible benefits, the mountains of gold, the finest beast meats, the softest silk, and the absolute luxury that awaited them in Fox Beast City.

Seeing them push so hard, Su Qinglan immediately changed her strategy. She adopted a deeply pitiful, heartbreaking expression, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Elders, I understand that my son is worthy of your grand throne," she sobbed softly, looking incredibly vulnerable.

"But he is still so small! I cannot bear to have him taken away from me. And as you all know, it is a terrible crime to snatch a young cub away from its beast mother. Such a cruel act is heavily punishable by the wrath of the Beast God himself!"

The expressions of all the elders froze instantly. The mention of the Beast God’s punishment made their faces turn pale.

"No, no! Noble female, you misunderstand us!" the head elder shouted frantically, waving his hands in the air.

"We are absolutely not trying to snatch a precious cub away from his beast mother! We would never dare commit such a sin! We only want him to rightfully inherit the throne!"

Su Qinglan put on her saddest face, letting out a heavy, tragic sigh.

"I am not completely against him fulfilling his destiny, but as his mother, I simply cannot let my tiny cub go out into the harsh world alone."

The discussion went back and forth for a long time under the freezing winter sky.

Su Qinglan argued skillfully, countering every single point the elders made. In the end, her brilliant wit completely outsmarted the entire council of Fox Beast City.

She finally managed to secure a perfect compromise that left the elders completely stunned.

It was agreed that her cub would officially take the position of the City Lord, but he would remain under her direct care and grooming until he reached his full adulthood at eighteen years old.

To ensure the safety of their new young heir, the elders even insisted on leaving a small elite group of fox beastmen behind in the Dragon Beast City to act as his personal royal guards.

In the beast world, it was actually not uncommon for a ruler to be a young cub, as wars and challenges happened constantly, often leaving exceptionally powerful children to inherit clans.

However, since the cub was so young, the elders knew they needed to be carefully raised.

"Since the winter season is so harsh and the snow is heavy," Su Qinglan said gently, looking at the elders with pure maternal concern, "I promise to bring the cub to visit Fox Beast City the moment the spring arrives and the snow melts. He is only a few months old right now. If he travels through this freezing weather, he will definitely get sick. You wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to your brand new supreme leader, right?"

The elders’ hearts completely melted upon hearing her words. They were deeply moved by the female’s wisdom and gentle care.

They all nodded their heads in frantic agreement, praising her beautiful, magnificent, and magnanimous nature. No wonder she was capable of giving birth to a future king!
