Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off Chapter 748: Xiao Yi’s Bloodline Awakening

"Xiao Yi!" Su Qinglan gasped, her heart leaping into her throat as she instinctively took a hurried step forward to reach for her child.

Before her hand could even come close to the golden sphere, a powerful arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her back forcefully.

"Don’t touch him, Lanlan! Stay back!"

Hu Yan’s voice was strained, completely stripped of its usual calm confidence. His golden tiger eyes were wide with pure shock as he held his female tightly behind his broad back.

As a powerful tiger beastman himself, Hu Yan could feel the blood inside his own veins boiling in response to the light.

It was an ancient, violent bloodline evolution!

Xiao Yi’s genes were forcefully breaking apart and rewriting themselves at a terrifying speed.

Inside the golden cocoon, the sound of tiny bones shifting and cracking echoed softly, accompanied by low, pained tiger growls.

The small, ordinary tiger cub was undergoing a complete metamorphosis...his bloodline was ascending from a ground-bound beast to a supreme, high-ranking aerial predator!

A few steps away, Shen Mochen’s calm demeanor shattered entirely. He rushed forward, scooping up little Duo Duo into his arms.

The toddler was sobbing hysterically, big tears spilling over her chubby, flushed cheeks as she clutched her father’s collar.

"Duo Duo, look at me," Shen Mochen said urgently, his voice sharp yet filled with deep concern. "What happened?! What did you do to him?"

"I... I didn’t mean to bully him!" Duo Duo hiccupped, her little body trembling as she pointed a chubby, shaking finger toward the main estate.

"He ran away from me, so I gave him the pretty golden fruit... the one you kept high up in that locked room! I thought if I gave him a treat, he would play with me!"

The moment those words left her daughter’s lips, Shen Mochen’s handsome face twitched violently. A terrifying mixture of anger, helplessness, and sheer disbelief washed over his expression.

"The Sky-Soaring Divine Fruit?!" Shen Mochen choked out, his throat going dry.

That fruit had been preserved in his private chamber for centuries! It was a legendary artifact of the Upper Domain, infused with pure celestial wind energy, far too potent for a normal ground tiger to digest! Let alone a cub.

Before Shen Mochen could even process his daughter’s incredible mischief, the trembling little fairy spirit floating nearby raised her tiny hands in a panic.

"I... I saw the little tiger cub crying and holding his belly after eating it!" the little fairy squeaked nervously, her eyes wide as saucers.

"I thought he was hurt, so I tried to help! I poured a drop of my condensed Spiritual Life Essence onto his forehead to heal him... but the moment the drop touched him, the golden light exploded!"

Everyone was completely stunned.

The combination of the Sky-Soaring Divine Fruit’s raw celestial wind energy and the spiritual plant fairy’s pure life essence had triggered a volatile reaction inside Xiao Yi’s body!

ROAR—!

A deep, powerful roar...far too loud and majestic to belong to a tiny cub reverberated through the entire estate.

The golden cocoon suddenly cracked like glass. The swirling light began to condense, sinking rapidly into Xiao Yi’s fur.

Right before everyone’s eyes, the miraculous genetic evolution reached its climax!

Xiao Yi’s golden-and-black striped fur transformed into a brilliant, shimmering coat of snow-white and burning gold.

His tiny tiger paws expanded slightly, tipped with razor-sharp, translucent claws that glowed with crackling wind currents. But the most breathtaking change occurred along his shoulder blades.

With a soft, dramatic burst of white light, two majestic, feathery wings snapped outward from his back!

The wings spanned over two feet wide...dappled with exquisite gold and pearl-white feathers, wrapped in tiny, harmless swirls of mini-hurricanes.

The genes of an ordinary ground-bound tiger had been completely overwritten. Xiao Yi was no longer just a tiger cub; he had ascended into a true, high-ranking Flying Heavenly Tiger!

"Good heavens..." Elder Cang gasped, clutching his chest in absolute awe.

Before anyone could say another word, two powerful, terrifying gusts of wind swept through the courtyard.

An Mo and Xuan Long landed simultaneously beside the group, having rushed over the moment they sensed the massive surge of divine energy.

Xuan Long’s deep emerald eyes narrowed sharply at the sight of the winged cub, while An Mo’s golden eyes widened in utter disbelief.

"What on earth happened here?!" An Mo asked, staring at the little winged tiger hovering two inches off the ground, sound asleep inside a fading bubble of warm light.

"He... he ate the Sky-Soaring Divine Fruit, and the little fairy gave him Spiritual Life Essence," Su Qinglan explained hurriedly, her eyes never leaving her son.

"Is he okay? Is my baby hurt?!"

An Mo carefully stepped closer, extending his hand to feel the energy humming around Xiao Yi. A wide, astonished smile slowly broke across his handsome face.

"He isn’t hurt at all, Lanlan. In fact, he just hit the cosmic lottery!" An Mo chuckled, his voice full of wonder as he looked back at the stunned Hu Yan.

"In the Upper Domain, ground tigers are common, but the Flying Heavenly Tiger Clan is a supreme bloodline that was thought to have migrated to the deep celestial realms thousands of years ago!"

An Mo looked at the tiny, snow-white wings folded neatly against the sleeping cub’s back.

"The divine fruit unlocked the latent, ancient beast potential hidden deep within his tiger bloodline, and the Life Essence forced his body to adapt immediately so he wouldn’t explode from the energy. He didn’t just grow wings, Lanlan... his entire talent, physical strength, and life force have evolved into that of a top-tier divine beast!"

Hearing An Mo’s detailed explanation, Hu Yan let out a long, shaky breath, the intense tension leaving his posture as a sense of fierce, fatherly pride surged through his chest.

He looked at his son... now a majestic little Flying Tiger, and then at Su Qinglan, his golden eyes softened with immense relief.

Su Qinglan finally broke free from Hu Yan’s grip and rushed forward, gently scooping the sleeping, fluffy little Flying Tiger into her arms.

Xiao Yi shifted in his sleep, letting out a cute, tiny snore as his brand-new, soft feathered wings wrapped instinctively around his mother’s wrists like a protective blanket.

"You silly little trouble-maker." Su Qinglan whispered with a soft laugh, kissing the top of his glowing golden head, while little Duo Duo peeked out from behind Shen Mochen’s neck, her big eyes sparkling as she whispered in awe, "The puppy got bird arms..."
