Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off Chapter 773: When Love Turns to Hatred

Far away from the grand boundaries of the Heavenly God Estate, situated within the opulent territory of another high-ranking clan, a young female was sobbing uncontrollably.

"Father! You have to avenge me!"

Chu Xirou clung tightly to her father’s arm, her face pale and streaked with dramatic tears. She buried her face into his expensive robes, her small shoulders trembling as she cried in the most pitiful, heartbreaking manner possible.

The middle-aged man sitting on the high throne, Lord Chu, could not bear to see his precious daughter in such distress. His heart twitched with intense pain as he reached down, lovingly stroking her hair to console her.

"Shh, my little Cese, don’t cry," Lord Chu soothed, his voice brimming with unconditional indulgence.

"Tell Father Beast, who dared to make my sweet girl shed tears? If my Cese wants someone, Father will personally break their knees and force them to submit to you!"

Hearing his comforting promise, Chu Xirou didn’t stop crying; instead, she burst into an even louder wave of hysterical tears.

"Father! He is so mean! He is an absolute monster!" she wailed, clutching his sleeves tighter.

"It’s Xuan Long! Whenever I try to approach him, he makes sure I can’t even step a foot inside his estate! He treated me like trash and kicked me out without a second thought!"

The moment the name Xuan Long left her lips, Lord Chu’s expression darkened violently. A suffocating, dangerous aura erupted from his body, filling the entire hall with heavy pressure.

"How dare he!" Lord Chu spat, his eyes flashing with lethal fury. "How dare that wretched cub treat my precious daughter like this!"

Lord Chu let out a cold, venomous sneer. "That bastard Xuan Long... his father was nothing more than a cowardly, runaway man who abandoned the Beast Queen! Now his abandoned bastard son actually dares to put on airs and show attitude to my daughter?!"

He slapped the armrest of his throne, shattering the solid spirit-stone into dust.

"It is his supreme good fortune that my daughter even glanced his way! Yet he dared to reject my Cese?! Good... very good! Just wait until I teach that arrogant Teng snake a lesson he will never forget!"

Listening to her father’s rage, Chu Xirou’s tearful face twisted into a grotesque mask of hatred and spite.

"Father, you don’t know how horribly he humiliated me!" she poured out, adding oil to the fire with every word.

"He didn’t just kick me out...he humiliated me and my first beast husband right at the grand gates in front of everyone! He even forbade anyone from letting us inside! Now that he has finally returned to the Upper Domain, I refuse to let this go!"

She wiped the tears from her red eyes with her silk sleeve, a chilling, cruel smile slowly blooming across her lips.

"I don’t even want him as a proper beast husband anymore, Father," Chu Xirou hissed, her voice dripping with spite.

"When you capture him, I will make him my lowest, most wretched slave husband! I won’t even grant him a title! I will trample his proud dignity under my feet and make him crawl before me!"

Lord Chu patted her shoulder gently, a dark, indulgent grin on his face. "Whatever my Cese desires, Father will fulfill. That bastard snake will soon be grovelling at your feet."

Chu Xirou’s tears completely dried up. She leaned up and pressed an affectionate kiss onto her father’s cheek, her voice sweet as honey once again.

"Thank you, Father! I will be waiting for your good news!"

With a victorious, arrogant smirk, Chu Xirou turned around and walked out of the grand hall.

However, the moment she stepped into the outer corridor, her path was blocked by a tall, handsome man. It was Chu Yanze, her first and most powerful beast husband. He had been waiting outside, his face pale and full of concern.

When Chu Xirou saw him, the sweet smile on her face instantly vanished, replaced by an expression of utter disdain and disgust. She didn’t even slow her steps, attempting to walk right past him as if he were nothing more than dirt on the floor.

Chu Yanze’s expression darkened instantly. He turned and chased after her, his eyes filled with suppressed hurt and bitterness. "Cese... wait."

Chu Xirou stopped abruptly, turning around to glare at him with cold, piercing eyes.

"Don’t touch me! Don’t even speak to me!" she barked, her voice full of harsh contempt. She pointed an accusing finger straight at his chest.

"Until and unless you become stronger than Xuan Long, don’t you dare come in front of my face!"

Snap!

Chu Yanze’s expression completely cracked. His jaw clenched so hard his teeth nearly shattered, and his hands balled into tight, white-knuckled fists beneath his sleeves.

Yet, despite the intense rage and humiliation burning in his chest, he did not dare to take another step forward or talk back to her.

Ever since the shameful day they had gone to the Teng Clan Estate, Chu Xirou’s attitude toward him had completely changed.

Back then, Xuan Long had defeated Chu Yanze in a single, effortless move, throwing both him and Chu Xirou straight out of the estate gates like garbage.

Before that humiliating day, Chu Yanze had been the undisputed strongest and most powerful male in her entire harem. She had pampered him, loved him, and doted on him above all others.

But the moment he was easily crushed by Xuan Long, Chu Xirou’s love had turned into cold disdain.

In her shallow, arrogant eyes, his worth had plunged straight to the bottom. She now viewed him as a useless, pathetic weakling who wasn’t even fit to stand by her side.

Looking at Chu Yanze standing there silently with a pale, bruised pride, Chu Xirou let out a loud, mocking huff, turned her back on him, and strutted away into her luxurious courtyard without looking back even once.

Standing alone in the cold, empty corridor, Chu Yanze stared at her retreating back, his dark eyes swirling with a terrifying storm of hatred, jealousy, and dark ambition.
