Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off Chapter 745: The Fairy Forest of the Upper Domain

Su Qinglan was stunned. She had already known that Xuan Long had lost his parents at a young age, but An Mo... She had always assumed his parents were simply living somewhere else in the Upper Domain or traveling far away from the estate.

She had never imagined that they, too, had passed away long ago.

For a brief moment, a heavy silence fell between them in the sunlit corridor.

Seeing the lingering sadness hidden behind Elder Cang’s gentle smile, Su Qinglan wisely chose not to ask any further questions. Some ancient wounds did not need to be reopened.

Instead, she smiled softly, her voice light as she smoothly changed the topic. "I heard An Mo mention that this estate has many rare spiritual plants." Her eyes brightened again with lively curiosity.

"If it isn’t too much trouble, Elder Cang, could you take us to see them? I would love to take a look."

The heavy sadness on Elder Cang’s face gradually disappeared, replaced once more by deep pride and affection. He smiled respectfully before bowing once more.

"It would be my absolute honor, My Lady. This way, please."

With that, Elder Cang turned around and began leading the group down a shaded, jade-paved path toward another part of the enormous estate.

The little cubs immediately cheered in a chorus of cute yips and squeaks, scrambling on their short legs to hurry after him, their tiny footsteps echoing merrily along the stone path.

Stove and Little Hua were the most excited of all!

The two little spirits practically floated through the air on Su Qinglan’s shoulders, completely unable to hide their thrill. After all, they were finally about to meet the legendary spiritual plants of the Upper Domain!

Elder Cang led the group along a quiet stone path that stretched far away from the main estate.

The further they walked, the calmer everything became. The lively sounds of the palace gradually disappeared, replaced by the gentle rustling of leaves and the soft, soothing singing of the wind.

Soon, they arrived at a peaceful, enchanted forest.

Su Qinglan looked around curiously, her eyes wide with wonder. Countless ancient trees stood proudly before her, their massive branches reaching high into the sky and casting dappled golden sunlight across the soft moss below.

What caught her attention the most was the delicate, tiny wooden house built upon the trees.

Some were hanging gracefully from thick, leafy branches like glowing lanterns. Others were cleverly built inside the hollows of ancient tree trunks.

Tiny, woven rope bridges connected one tree to another, making the entire place look like something straight out of a fairy tale.

"It... it’s so beautiful," Su Qinglan couldn’t help but whisper under her breath.

However, after looking around for a while, she frowned slightly. She did not see a single person. Not even a bird flew through the canopy. The entire forest was strangely, peacefully quiet.

Elder Cang smiled knowingly. He stepped forward toward the edge of the clearing before clapping his hands together loudly.

Clap! Clap!

His warm, booming voice echoed gently through the peaceful forest.

"Everyone, come out! We have guests today. Don’t be shy! The future mistress of this estate has come to meet you all."

For a few quiet moments, nothing happened.

Then...

A tiny head slowly peeked out from behind a thick tree trunk.

A pair of big, curious eyes appeared at a small wooden window. Another little face peeked from behind a broad green leaf. One after another, dozens of tiny heads began appearing from every direction imaginable!

Su Qinglan blinked in pure surprise.

The next moment, dozens of tiny, glowing figures flew out from their little treetop homes! They landed gracefully on branches, flower petals, and smooth stones, looking at her with wide, curious eyes.

Then, their gazes suddenly landed on Stove and Little Hua perching near Su Qinglan.

Both little spirits immediately brightened, their faces lighting up with pure joy!

"Little Brother!"

"Little Sister!"

Several sweet, bell-like voices rang out together through the forest.

Little Hua happily waved her tiny green leaves in the air, and Stove smiled warmly at the cheerful faces.

Su Qinglan’s eyes slowly widened in astonishment.

They... they all looked like tiny, magical fairies!

Each one had a tiny human body with beautiful, translucent, shimmering wings fluttering behind their backs. They were only about as tall as her knees!

Some had vibrant flower-like hair, some wore delicate leafy clothes, and others had tiny green vines wrapped playfully around their arms. Every single one of them was unbelievably cute.

For some reason, they instantly reminded Su Qinglan of Tinker Bell...only these little fairies were much bigger and far more adorable!

Elder Cang noticed the delight and surprise on her face and smiled warmly.

"They are all high-level spiritual plants, My Lady. They have cultivated for many, many years and can freely transform into any appearance they wish. They simply like this fairy form the most, so they have continued living and playing like this."

Su Qinglan nodded in complete understanding. "So that’s how it is!"

Everything suddenly made perfect sense.

Back in the Lower Domain, she had met the old spiritual spirit who had chosen the appearance of a kind, wrinkled grandfather.

At that time, she had assumed every spiritual plant simply possessed one set human form. Now she finally understood...they could actually choose any form they liked best!

That’s really amazing, she thought with deep admiration.

Just then...

"Little Sister!"

Before Little Hua could even react, one of the tiny fairy spirits zipped through the air, grabbed her around the thick vine, and lifted her high into the sky!

"Eeeeh!" Little Hua let out a surprised, delighted squeal.

The tiny fairy laughed happily as she spun in circles through the air while carrying Little Hua. Several other fairy spirits quickly flew up to join in the fun!

"Come play!"

Little Hua soon forgot her initial surprise and burst into cheerful, ringing laughter. "Hehe! Wait for me!"

Seeing little Hua being whisked away into the air, Stove immediately flew after them with a helpless, fond smile.

At the same time, he gave an excited chirp before hopping enthusiastically after the playful group. The quiet, peaceful forest instantly erupted into a lively, joyful party!

The cubs were no less fortunate.

Before the little furry pack even knew what was happening, dozens of tiny fairy spirits had already fluttered down from the trees and completely surrounded them!

"So fluffy!"

"Look at his tiny ears!"

"His tail is so soft and squishy!"

The wolf twins blinked in utter confusion as several tiny fairies gently poked their soft, twitching ears with glowing fingers.

The lion cub proudly raised his head high, puffing out his chest to allow everyone to admire his little golden mane.

Meanwhile, Ciao Ciao’s nine fluffy fox tails immediately became the absolute center of attention!

"So many tails!"

"They’re so soft!"

"Can I touch them? Please?"

Tiny hands reached out eagerly from every direction as the little fairy spirits stared at the adorable, round cubs with sparkling eyes, their faces overflowing with innocent, magical curiosity.

The two little tiger cubs, Xiao Yi and Xiao Er, were no luckier than their siblings. The moment the fairy spirits spotted their fluffy golden ears and dark stripes, they instantly swarmed over.

"So fluffy!"

"Look at his little paws!"

"The stripes are so pretty!"

Xiao Yi tried his best to maintain a dignified expression, sitting proudly as though allowing everyone to admire him. Meanwhile, Xiao Er quickly dissolved into helpless giggles as tiny hands poked his ears, rubbed his soft belly, and gently tugged at his fluffy tail.

"Hehe... that tickles!"

Not far away, Xiao San had also been surrounded. The little snake cub blinked in surprise as several fairy spirits gathered around him, curiously admiring his shimmering emerald scales.

"So beautiful!"

"His scales sparkle!"

One tiny fairy gently touched the little horn on his forehead while another carefully held the tip of his tail, making Xiao San’s cheeks flush bright red with embarrassment.

"I-I’m not that interesting..."

His shy mumble only made the fairy spirits laugh even more, and before long, the cheerful forest was filled with the happy laughter of cubs and fairy spirits alike.

Only Yue Yue was spared because the daddy’s little princess was still cuddling in his robes.
