Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Xuan Long’s Father?

Xuan Long stood at the very edge of the cliff, his long hair whipping wildly in the cold wind.

He didn’t know how long he had been standing there, frozen like a statue.

Below him, the forest was a dark, endless sea of green, but he didn’t see the trees. He only saw the mocking, bloody smile of the Lion King.

Shi Feng’s words were repeating in his mind like a curse. Every time he tried to push them away, they came back louder.

"Do you really think you know everything about your own bloodline, snake?"

Xuan Long’s chest tightened. In his entire life, he had been the strongest, the most cold-blooded, and the most certain.

But for the first time, he felt like a child lost in a storm. He felt conflicted, angry, and strangely afraid.

He had run away from the clearing not just because he was furious, but because he didn’t know how to look at Su Qinglan while his heart was in such chaos.

He took a deep, shaky breath. The cold air filled his lungs, helping him regain a sliver of his usual rationality.

He couldn’t stay here forever. He had a home. He had a female who was probably worried...or worse, angry, and he had a cub who needed his father’s protection.

He knew Han Jue and the others were probably cursing his name for abandoning them in the middle of a mess, but he had needed this moment of silence.

"I have to know," he whispered to the wind.

He moved back from the edge of the cliff. With a shimmering light, his body shifted and shrank.

He didn’t turn into his massive, mountain-sized form that would alert the whole forest. Instead, he became a smaller, sleek green snake, about the size of a man’s arm.

He began to slide through the undergrowth, moving with a silent, deadly grace toward the Fox Tribe.

But he didn’t go toward his own treehouse. He couldn’t face Su Qinglan yet...not until he confirmed the truth.

He slithered toward the edge of the village where the Lion Tribe had set up their houses.

The lions were mostly out, unaware of the small black shadow moving through the grass. Using his powerful sense of smell, he immediately picked up the scent of Shi Feng.

He found the large tree house as the Lion King’s house. He slipped under the heavy hide flap and entered the dark interior. The tent was filled with very few items; it’s almost empty.

Xuan Long moved quickly. He searched through the belongings Shi Feng had brought from the distant Lion Plain.

He didn’t care about anything else. He was looking for something specific. Finally, tucked away in the corner of a heavy wooden chest, he found a small, old wooden box.

What caught his breath was the carving on the lid. It was a snake, but not just any snake. It was carved with the ancient symbols of his own Teng Clan.
