Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 475

Chapter 475: Chapter 475: The Tragedy of First Life (06)

For months, the three of them lived like wandering beasts. They did not dare go to any tribe, fearing that Su Qinglan would start causing trouble there.

And in the end, they would only be kicked out. The Fox Tribe was willing to tolerate her, but others... they owed them nothing.

There was also no news of the other tribesmen, and Hu Yan, the golden tiger who had vanished a year ago, never reappeared.

Life became a grueling cycle of hiding and hunting. Through it all, Su Qinglan remained a hollow shell. She never spoke. She never looked at them. She ate when they put food in her hand and walked when they pulled her arm. She was a living corpse.

Rong Ye, usually the most stoic and secretive, began leaving their temporary cave more often.

One evening, he returned stumbling, his chest heaving and his breath rattling.

When Han Jue caught him, he recoiled in horror. Rong Ye was covered in strange marks; they were not from beasts but from the claws of high-level beastmen, and they left a residue of some clan power.

The clan power, which someone like him who was born in an ordinary tribe can never have.

As a fever took hold of Rong Ye, the truth finally spilled out in broken whispers.

"My brother..." Rong Ye coughed, blood flecking his lips. "He found me. He won’t... he won’t stop until the last bloodline is gone."

Han Jue listened in shock as the pieces fell into place.

Rong Ye was not just an abandoned fox like him; he was a prince of a great Fox Beast City.

Years ago, he had fled to their small tribe to escape a bloody coup. His brother, driven by a thirst for the City Lord title, had murdered all their siblings, and Rong Ye was the last threat to his throne.

Someone had leaked his location, and his brother would not rest until he made sure Rong Ye never saw the sun tomorrow.

"You have to leave," Rong Ye wheezed, grabbing Han Jue’s arm. "If they find you with me... they’ll kill you too."

"I am not leaving a brother behind!" Han Jue roared, his eyes flashing with a desperate loyalty. He had already lost Hu Yan and he couldn’t lose Rong Ye too.

But the choice was taken from them.

Two days later, a group of elite beastmen from the Fox City descended upon their cave. Han Jue fought like a demon, but he was outnumbered and already exhausted from months of wandering. He watched, pinned to the ground and bleeding from a dozen wounds, as the beastman cornered Rong Ye.

"Finally," the lead beastman sneered, raising his claws. "The stray prince goes home to the dirt."

With a final, defiant glare, Rong Ye heart was pierced. Han Ju let out a strangled cry of agony.

First Hu Yan was lost to madness, and now Rong Ye was murdered right in front of his eyes. The assassins glanced at the silent Su Qinglan and the battered Han Jue.

"The target is dead," the leader said coldly, wiping his claws. "Leave the trash. They won’t survive the winter anyway."

They vanished into the trees, leaving Han Jue alone with the cooling body of his friend. He crawled toward Rong Ye, his tears mixing with the dirt on his face. "I’m sorry... I’m so sorry..."
