Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off Chapter 739: The Day Cubs Rained from Heaven
Previously on Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off...
While Su Qinglan was arguing back and forth with Xuyu in her mind, she suddenly felt a warm, heavy breath brushing against the side of her neck.
She snapped out of her thoughts and glanced beside her.
The golden demon had quietly crept over to her chair, resting his chin on her shoulder and subtly sniffing her skin like a hungry predator taking in a scent.
Su Qinglan’s breath caught. "What... what are you doing?"
An Mo’s dark golden eyes swirled with a thick, intoxicating heat. He leaned closer, his warm lips brushing against her sensitive earlobe as he murmured in a low, teasing voice, "Lanlan... I can smell it. You’re very much aroused right now, aren’t you?"
Su Qinglan’s face instantly exploded into a bright crimson flush! She instinctively clenched her legs tight together under her skirt, her heart hammering against her ribs like a trapped bird.
"W-What absurd nonsense are you talking about?!" she stammered, trying to shove his handsome face away.
Right on cue, Xuyu’s demon-like cackle echoed loudly inside her consciousness: "Pfft! HAHAHA! Exposed! Your system scan doesn’t lie, Host!"
’Shut up, Xuyu!’ she screamed internally, wanting nothing more than to smash her system into pieces.
Before she could process her embarrassment, An Mo let out a low chuckle. In one swift, effortless motion, he grabbed her waist and pulled her directly onto his broad lap!
Su Qinglan gasped as his large, warm hand slid shamelessly beneath the heavy folds of her skirt, his fingers gliding up her thigh.
"An Mo! Stop!" Su Qinglan shrieked softly, her hands frantically grabbing at his wrists, her eyes wide with sheer panic.
"What are you doing?! We are in the grand reception hall! Anyone could walk in here at any second!"
An Mo didn’t stop. He merely chuckled lazily against her throat, his thumb tracing a slow, burning circle on her skin that sent electricity shooting straight up her spine.
"Let them," An Mo whispered arrogantly, his golden eyes flashing with a dangerous, possessive light. "If anyone dares to step foot in here and lay an eye on my female... I’ll dig their eyes out myself."
Just outside the heavy, open doors of the reception hall...
Elder Cang, who had just spent the last twenty minutes carefully hand-picking the freshest, sweetest golden peaches from the divine back garden to serve to his future mistress, was happily walking toward the doorway with a silver tray.
He was just about to step over the high threshold when An Mo’s razor-sharp, chilling threat echoed clearly into the hallway:
"If anyone dares... I’ll dig their eyes out..."
Elder Cang froze mid-step. His foot hovered in the air for a full two seconds.
Without breaking his stride, the wise old elder smoothly executed a precise 180-degree turn, hugged the silver tray of peaches tightly against his chest, and marched back down the hallway in the exact direction he had just come from...whistling a peaceful, totally fake tune as if he had never existed in the first place!
Down the quiet hallway, Elder Cang stopped near the marble pillars, carefully wiping a tear of deep emotion from the corner of his eye.
A fond, foolish smile spread across his wrinkled face as he clutched the silver tray against his chest. His heart was overflowing with joy.
For hundreds of years, this grand, massive estate of the Heavenly God Clan had been dead silent...a cold, empty palace where his Young Lord lived like a lonely shadow. But now? His Young Lord was so wildly in love!
"Ah, it seems this quiet palace will soon be filled with the sweet, noisy pitter-patter of little cubs running around," Elder Cang thought happily to himself, sniffling with old-man pride.
Suddenly...
WHOOSH! CRASH!
A bright spatial tear exploded in the middle of the corridor ceiling!
Before Elder Cang could even process the blinding flash, a dense rain of furry, soft bundles plummeted straight out of thin air, landing directly on top of his head!
"OOF!"
The poor old man was tackled so hard he went sprawling onto the cold floor. The silver tray flew out of his hands, sending the sweet golden peaches rolling wildly in every direction across the hall.
A chaotic pile of fluffy, squirming bodies landed right on Elder Cang’s stomach. Several little paws scrambled frantically over his face, his beard, and his long white hair as the cubs tried to find their balance.
"Awooo..."
"Uwaaan... my head is spinning..."
"This spatial portal is so bad! It made my stomach turn!"
The cubs tumbled over each other, shaking their dizzy heads until their small ears flopped back and forth.
Elder Cang sat up slowly, covered in white beard hairs and tiger fur, looking completely, utterly gobsmacked.
He had just been standing there romantically wishing for cubs, but how on earth did a sky-full of baby beasts literally rain down from the heavens right onto his lap?!
"G-Goodness gracious!" Elder Cang gasped, holding his aching waist as he stared at the colorful crowd of baby animals.
"Whose... whose cubs are you all?! How on earth did you arrive in the divine mansion?!"
The cubs all froze. The wolf twins tilted their heads, the lion cub shook his mane, and Ciao Ciao waved his nine fluffy tails in confusion. None of them had any idea how to explain a spatial portal.
Instinctively, every single cub turned their big, round eyes toward their eldest brother, the tiger cub Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi puffed out his tiny striped chest, shook off the non existent dust, and answered with absolute, proud solemnity:
"We are here to find Mommy!"
Before Elder Cang could ask who "Mommy" was, the little wolf cub twitched her pink nose. She caught a familiar, sweet scent drifting down the corridor.
Mommy’s scent!
Xiao Er’s eyes lit up. "Mommy is over there!"
Without waiting a single second, the entire pack of chaotic little bundles scrambled to their feet and began charging straight toward the grand hall gate!
Elder Cang’s soul nearly leaped right out of his body. "AHEM! NO! STOP!" he screamed internally, his face turning pale as paper.
He remembered precisely what his Young Lord was currently doing to his future mistress inside that very room! If these innocent little cubs barged in right now, his Young Lord would literally skin him alive!
"Wait! Stop, little masters! You cannot go in there right now!" Elder Cang yelled frantically, throwing his arms wide and diving across the floor like a madman to block the doorway.
He managed to catch the second tiger cub, Xiao Er, and a wolf twin under his arms, holding them tight while sweating profusely. "Stay back! Your... your Young Lord is currently... ahem... busy!"
However, the moment Elder Cang dove to block the door, the rest of the cubs caught sight of something far more interesting on the floor.
The sweet, heavenly aroma of the golden peaches that had spilled earlier was now wafting heavily through the air.
The little lion cub’s ears instantly twitched. His eyes widened to the size of saucers. FOOD!
"PEACHES!" Xiao Yi gasped.
Abandoning their mission to find Mommy for a split second, Xiao Yi, the little lion cub, and the nine-tailed fox cub immediately launched themselves across the glossy floor! They scrambled after the rolling golden fruits like tiny, wild beasts, pouncing on them with wild cheers.
Clutter! Thump!
Each of them successfully tackled two massive, juicy golden peaches into their arms!
Xiao Yi proudly waddled back over to Elder Cang, holding a peach so big it completely covered his tiny tiger face. He offered it directly to his captured brother, Xiao Er, who was still squirming in Elder Cang’s grip.
"Here, Brother! Eat! It’s super sweet!" Xiao Yi chirped happily, stuffing the fruit right against Xiao Er’s nose.
