Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 455

Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Dragon Beast City

Far from the sea, near the cave where Su Qinglan had stayed before, a figure suddenly appeared.

He stood at the entrance, his brows slightly furrowed. His eyes scanned the surroundings quickly before he stepped inside.

The cave was quiet.

There were signs that someone had lived here... but why it’s empty. He paused, his expression turning strange.

"...Where did they go?"

A hint of suspicion crossed his face.

"Did they know I was coming... so they ran away?"

He stepped deeper into the cave, observing carefully. But the more he looked, the more certain he became.

They hadn’t left long ago. Which meant... He had just missed them.

***

One month ago, when the long journey was still ongoing and the road ahead felt endless and heavy for everyone involved.

The fox tribe, along with the rabbit tribe and lion tribe, moved steadily forward without stopping, their steps slow but firm after days and nights of continuous travel.

They had already crossed many small tribes and several busy beast cities, yet none of them paused for long, only resting briefly before continuing toward the distant Dragon Beast City.

Even after such a tiring journey, not a single female or cub raised a complaint, their faces showing only determination and quiet endurance as they followed the group leaders faithfully. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

At the very front walked Lan Shun, his tall figure steady and calm, his sharp eyes fixed ahead as he guided everyone without hesitation or distraction.

Beside him walked Su Mingxuan, his expression quiet and restrained, his gaze often lowering as if he was lost in his own thoughts.

There were countless times he wanted to speak.

His lips would part slightly, his brows tightening as questions rose again and again inside his chest, pressing heavily against his heart.

"How is she...?" he wanted to ask.

"Is Wang Mulan alright...?"

"Does she... still remember me?"

The questions piled up endlessly.

"Did she ever miss me... even once?"

"Or... does she hate me now?"

"Does she think I’m useless... unworthy...?"

Each thought cut deeper than the last. But in the end, he said nothing.

Not even a single word left his mouth.

His throat felt tight every time he tried, and his courage failed him again and again.

He was afraid.

Afraid of hearing an answer he couldn’t bear.

Afraid that she might truly have forgotten him.

Or worse... that she remembered him, but only with disappointment and hatred.

"I don’t even have the right to ask..." he murmured quietly to himself, his fists clenching slightly at his sides.

"I couldn’t give her anything... not even a safe life."

His steps slowed for a moment, but he quickly forced himself to keep moving.

The journey continued like this, silent and heavy.

Days passed.

Then weeks.

Until finally...

The towering walls of Dragon Beast City appeared in the distance. Everyone slowly came to a stop.

A soft wave of shock and amazement spread through the crowd.

Su Mingxuan lifted his head, his eyes widening slightly as he stared ahead.

The walls were enormous. It was tall and strong, stretching far beyond what his eyes could fully see.

They stood like an unbreakable barrier, giving off a powerful and imposing presence. He had never seen such a sturdy wall aside from the cave wall; he couldn’t believe that it was man-made.

"I... I’ve never seen anything like this..." he whispered, his voice filled with awe.

Even the other beast cities they had passed before could not compare to this. They were nothing but bugger tribes without any enclosure.

This place felt different; it was vastly different from other beast cities he had seen.

But as he stared at those massive walls, his expression slowly changed.
