Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off Chapter 787: The Cub With a Heaven-Defying Fate

Inside the grand guest hall of the Flying Heavenly Tiger Estate, everyone sat around a massive carved wooden table.

Su Qinglan sat at the head, holding the freshly washed, fluffy little Xiao Yi tightly in her arms, gently stroking his soft golden fur.

Surrounding her were her handsome beast husbands...An Mo, Hu Yan, Han Jue, Shi Feng, and Rong Ye.

Only Xuan Long had returned to the Heavenly God Estate ahead of time; after all, the other seven cubs were still being looked after by Elder Cang, and they would definitely throw a wild fit if not a single father beast was around to mind them.

On the opposite side of the table sat Sheng Rulan, her older brother Sheng Yuan, three high elders of the Flying Heavenly Tiger Clan, and Sheng Rulan’s mate, Chi Jiayu.

The atmosphere had finally cleared up after all the heavy misunderstandings were addressed.

Sheng Rulan clearly explained how she had stumbled upon the little tiger cub bleeding and unconscious in the back mountains, brought him home out of kindness, and nursed his injuries back to health without knowing who his parents were.

Little Xiao Yi vigorously nodded his fluffy head from Su Qinglan’s lap, testifying loudly, "Mm! Pretty sister healed my sore paws and gave me lots of delicious meat!"

Hearing this, both Su Qinglan and Hu Yan felt deep gratitude toward the young female.

"Lady Sheng," Su Qinglan said warmly, holding a jade cup, "if not for your timely rescue, my baby would have suffered greatly in the cold mountains. My family owes you a great debt."

Sheng Rulan smiled, feeling a tiny splash of guilt in her heart. Although she had no evil intentions, she had briefly entertained the idea of adopting the cute little fluffball for herself!

Looking at the terrifyingly protective group sitting across from her now, she secretly patted her chest, relieved she hadn’t said anything foolish earlier.

Establishing a warm, friendly relationship with the Mistress of the Heavenly God Estate was a far better choice...this way, she could still visit and play with the adorable cub in the future!

As everyone ate, drank, and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, Sheng Yuan couldn’t hold back his intense curiosity any longer. He set his wine cup down and looked directly at Hu Yan.

"Brother Hu Yan," Sheng Yuan asked, his eyes gleaming with intrigue, "are you also a member of the Flying Heavenly Tiger bloodline? I have traveled widely across the Upper Domain, yet I have never seen you or heard of your name among our clan."

Hu Yan paused, setting his drink down. He looked at Sheng Yuan and answered straightforwardly, "No. I am just an ordinary Ground Tiger beastman."

Sheng Yuan’s expression instantly turned extremely strange.

The three elders sitting beside him also widened their eyes, their gazes practically screaming: If you’re an ordinary Ground Tiger, how on earth did your eldest son grow a divine pair of wings and transform into a Flying Heavenly Tiger cub?!

Su Qinglan smiled gently, softly patting Xiao Yi’s little head.

"Xiao Yi was actually born as a ground tiger cub like his father. However, he accidentally consumed a rare divine fruit, and with the help of a spiritual plant’s energy, his bloodline directly mutated and evolved into a Flying Heavenly Tiger."

Sheng Yuan and Sheng Rulan gasped in utter shock!

"Is it... is it the legendary Sky Soaring Divine Fruit?!" Sheng Yuan asked, his voice trembling slightly.

Su Qinglan nodded smoothly. "Yes, that very one."

The entire room fell into a stunned silence. Even the three high elders gasped!

"Incredible..." one elder stroked his long white beard, exclaiming in awe.

"That fruit possesses terrifying bloodline-altering energy, but the chances of a Ground Tiger successfully evolving through it without bursting their meridian channels is less than one in a hundred! Many who attempted it in the past perished from the violent energy. To think this little baby actually succeeded!"

Sheng Rulan stared at Xiao Yi with even greater admiration. She leaned forward excitedly and asked, "Sister Su, I heard from Xiao Yi earlier that he has a younger brother. Is his younger brother also a Flying Heavenly Tiger?"

Su Qinglan shook her head with a light chuckle. "No, Xiao Er hasn’t eaten any divine fruits, so he is still a cute, chubby little Ground Tiger cub."

"Oh, I see!" Sheng Rulan smiled brightly. She looked at Su Qinglan with shining eyes and said warmly, "Sister Su, you must bring the cubs to our estate to play more often! I really, really adore them!"

Before Su Qinglan could answer, little Xiao Yi chimed in with a sweet, milk-toned voice from his mother’s arms, "I like pretty sister so much too! Pretty sister is so beautiful!"

Sheng Rulan’s face instantly flushed a happy, delighted pink! She covered her mouth, her heart completely melting.

Flying Heavenly Tiger cubs in their own clan were usually arrogant and rowdy and refused to sweet-talk anyone, so having such a cute, polite little baby praise her made her feel immensely proud!

"You hear that, Jiayu?" Sheng Rulan giggled, nudging her mate’s arm playfully. "Xiao Yi likes me!"

Chi Jiayu smiled helplessly, his eyes filled with indulgence as he looked at his wife. "Yes, yes, our Rulan is the best."

Sheng Yuan watched the lively interaction and raised his wine glass toward Su Qinglan and her husbands.

"Since all misunderstandings have been resolved, the Flying Heavenly Tiger Clan would be honored to form an alliance of friendship with Lady Su and the Heavenly God Estate. Whenever you or the Cubs wish to visit our back mountain spiritual pools, our doors are always wide open."

An Mo raised his glass in return, his voice calm yet grand. "We accept your goodwill, Young Master Sheng."

Su Qinglan looked down at the sleepy little tiger cub in her lap, who was already yawning and rubbing his eyes with his chubby paws.

Smiling softly at her husbands, she knew that this unexpected adventure had not only brought her lost baby safely back into her arms but had also gained them a powerful, loyal ally in the Upper Domain.
