Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 451

Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Dangling Between Truth and Death”

Morning sunlight slowly spread across the forest of Mermaid Island, painting everything in a calm golden glow. The air should have been peaceful and refreshing, but unfortunately for one poor spiritual plant, the atmosphere nearby was anything but calm.

Under a tall tree stood four extremely angry men, their expressions dark and oppressive. And hanging helplessly from that same tree... was Stove.

His two long vines were tightly tied to the branches above, leaving him dangling awkwardly in the air like a pitiful decoration.

His small leafy body swayed left and right with every slight movement of the wind as he stared down at the furious faces below him.

Stove gulped loudly, the sound echoing awkwardly. His leaves trembled uncontrollably.

Behind a nearby bush, his little flower wife carefully peeked out, her eyes wide with shock at his miserable condition. When Stove noticed her staring at him like that, he nearly burst into tears on the spot.

My macho image... it’s completely finished...

At that moment, he felt as though his entire plant life had been utterly ruined beyond repair.

"How dare you people tie me up like this!" Stove shouted angrily while struggling against the vines. "Do I look like some lantern hanging on a festival tree?!"

However, none of the four men showed even the slightest reaction.

Instead, their expressions only grew colder and more dangerous.

Stove immediately shrank back in fear.

Xuan Long crossed his arms calmly and looked up at him with sharp, piercing eyes. "Then explain something," he said coldly. "Last night, when we wanted to go out, why did you stop us?"

Stove froze instantly. His leaves stiffened like dried grass in the wind.

"Also," Han Jue added with a faint but chilling smile, "why did you say she would be back soon?"

Stove swallowed nervously again. Because... he had indeed said exactly that.

At that moment, he cursed someone deeply inside his heart. "Master! You unreliable master!"

"You ran away happily with your lion husband while leaving this poor plant here to suffer!" he screamed inwardly with grievance.

His vines trembled pitifully.

Why must I be the cannon fodder between all of you terrifying monsters?!

Out loud, he quickly tried to defend himself. "I really don’t know where the master went! You are her men! Go find her yourselves! Why are you interrogating this innocent little plant?!"

Unfortunately, no one looked convinced. Not even in the slightest.

Rong Ye’s smile slowly grew sarcastic as he looked at the Stove with a smug expression.

"If you dare lie again," he said in a low voice, "your life will end here today."

Stove shuddered violently from head to root.

"What kind of fox demon is this?!" he cried out in panic. "Talking about killing a living plant so casually! Do you people have no compassion at all?!"

"We even shared meals together!" Stove continued complaining loudly. "We once ate roasted potatoes together! Doesn’t that count as friendship, if not kinship?!"

The four men remained completely unmoved.

Stove’s leaves drooped weakly.

Heartless beasts.

Meanwhile, Hu Yan calmly cracked his knuckles.

"Maybe we should throw this little weed into the fire," he said casually. "After being roasted for a bit, he will definitely start talking."

Stove’s eyes almost popped out of his leafy head.

"WHAT?!"

"You want to roast me?!"

"Are you all demons or something?! I’m a living plant! A living plant!"

He twisted violently while hanging helplessly in the air.

"This is plant abuse! Nature will punish you all!"

But unfortunately, no one seemed to care about plant rights at all.

Stove felt like crying.

He glanced again at his flower-wife, who was still watching nervously from behind the bushes.

Great.
