Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off Chapter 874: My Grandchildren Are All So Adorable!
Previously on Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off...
The news that Xuan Long’s father had finally woken up spread like wildfire through the house.
Within minutes, the entire household had crowded into Teng Yunxiao’s small room, filling every corner.
Sitting on the bed, Teng Yunxiao looked around at the bustling room, his mind completely blown. As he counted the cubs tumbling over each other on his bed, he was filled with genuine wonder.
There was a flying tiger cub puffing out his tiny chest, a small ground tiger cub crawling near his legs, and his own little green Teng snake cub, Xiao San, who was happily coiled right besides him. Looking at him, Teng Yunxiao was so deeply moved that tears welled up in his clear eyes. He felt a wave of pure, overwhelming happiness.
Then his gaze shifted, and he froze. Sitting side by side were two little female Arctic wolf cubs, their fur pure and fluffy.
How long has it been since I last saw an Arctic wolf? Teng Yunxiao thought in shock. That ancient species had almost gone completely extinct in the Upper Domain!
Next to them sat a chubby lion cub who was eyeing him with a very curious, bold gaze. Besides the lion was a dazzling nine-tailed fox cub, proudly fanning out his nine tiny white tails.
And then, of course, there was his adorable little granddaughter, Yue Yue, who belonged to the exact same rare white snake clan as his own former student!
Teng Yunxiao was truly amazed beyond words. Eight cubs in just two litters!
He slowly turned his head to look at his daughter-in-law, Su Qinglan. His heart was filled with profound admiration. She possessed such a remarkable, heavenly fertility! He then looked at her group of husbands standing behind her. Truly, every single one of them was an outstanding, good child.
However, the biggest shock was still to come. Teng Yunxiao’s eyes landed on a handsome, noble young man standing casually in the crowd.
An Mo?!
The heir of the legendary God Clan was actually here in this humble house! Teng Yunxiao stared at him in sheer disbelief.
How the hell has he grown so much?!
When Teng Yunxiao had last seen him in his memory, it felt like it was just yesterday... An Mo had been nothing more than a tiny, newborn cub! How had he suddenly transformed into a fully grown, powerful man?
Teng Yunxiao looked back and forth between An Mo and his own towering son, Xuan Long, who stood nearly as tall as himself. The snake beastmen of the Teng Clan were notoriously difficult to conceive, so how on earth had his son managed to father cubs so quickly?
Alas... Teng Yunxiao sighed in his heart, feeling a sudden wave of self-pity. I shouldn’t even be talking. I somehow gave birth to a fully grown son when I don’t even remember who I mated with! Life was truly full of unpredictable ups and downs.
While he was lost in his chaotic thoughts, all the little cubs began crawling over him at once. Their sweet, milky voices chimed together in a noisy, delightful chorus:
"Grandfather!"
"Grandfather, look at me!"
"Grandfather!"
Hearing their sweet calls, Teng Yunxiao’s heart melted into a soft puddle. He desperately wanted to dote on each and every one of them and hand them delicious candied fruits or beast treats, but as he searched his empty robes, he realised with an awkward pang that he was completely empty-handed. He didn’t even have a single piece of fruit to give his precious grandchildren!
At that moment, An Mo squeezed his way through the crowd of cubs and fussed around the bed, looking at Teng Yunxiao with a bright grin.
"Elder Teng, you are finally awake!" An Mo said cheerfully. "I honestly thought you were as good as dead!"
PAK!
Before the words could even settle, Su Qinglan immediately slapped An Mo right across his upper back!
An Mo yelped, rubbing the red spot on his back while Su Qinglan gently patted it down with a stern glare. "An Mo, you are supposed to be a sweet talker, remember?"
An Mo quickly straightened his posture and nodded earnestly. "Of course! Elder, I have always been a sweet talker!"
Without missing a beat, An Mo immediately changed his technique and stepped closer to conduct a thorough medical check on Teng Yunxiao’s body. A moment later, An Mo nodded in satisfaction.
"Your beast core has been successfully merged back into your body. Now there won’t be any further life-threatening complications," An Mo reported smoothly. Then his tone dropped slightly.
"However... the only downfall is that almost your entire life’s cultivation is completely gone. If you want to become strong again, you will have to work your way up from scratch."
Teng Yunxiao’s expression fell instantly. All his centuries of hard-earned cultivation... completely gone!
He looked up at An Mo with a heavy, confused gaze. "Child... do you know what actually happened to me? I don’t remember anything at all."
An Mo was stunned by the question. He quickly exchanged a quick look with Su Qinglan and Xuan Long. Both of them nodded at him softly, giving him permission to tell the truth.
An Mo turned back to the bed and explained clearly, "Elder, the truth is that you were actually locked inside a mountain in this Lower Domain. Most importantly... your beast core was forcefully removed from your body by someone."
Teng Yunxiao’s face darkened instantly. The room grew noticeably colder.
"You were locked in that mountain for who knows how long," An Mo continued, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
"If not for our little Yue Yue accidentally finding you inside that cave, we would have never been able to locate you. You had almost turned into stone, becoming one with the mountain itself."
An Mo paused, his brows furrowing in deep contemplation. "There is one more thing. Even though I managed to merge your beast core back with your body, I am still doubtful about something. When I examined your beast core earlier, a little piece of it was still missing. It seems whoever attacked you couldn’t handle or refine your entire beast core at once, so they could only break off a small fragment to use for themselves."
