Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 617

Chapter 617: Chapter 617: You Don’t Need to Pretend in Front of Us

After Xuan Long left to confront the Teng Clan, Su Qinglan exhaled slowly, yet the fury in her chest only burned hotter.

Now that she knew everything that had happened in Dragon Beast City during her absence, her anger surged.

The Teng Clan had invaded their home, injured her family, captured her beast husbands, and terrified her cubs. Just thinking about it made her fists clench. If not for her heavy pregnancy, she would have stormed the battlefield herself.

But both the old healer and Xiao San had stopped her.

The little cub had nearly burst into tears the moment she mentioned going near the fight. He wrapped his small arms tightly around her leg and refused to let go.

"Mother can’t go!" His voice trembled. "They will hurt Mother!"

The panic in his eyes broke her heart. In the end, she had to promise repeatedly that she would only watch from afar and stay safe before he finally calmed down.

Even now, Su Qinglan’s heart ached remembering it.

Xiao San had always been stubborn, he rarely cried even when hungry or upset. Yet today he had cried over and over. What exactly had those people done to him?

The little cub was still curled in her arms, face buried against her shoulder, tiny hands clutching her clothes as if afraid she would vanish.

Su Qinglan stroked his hair gently. "It’s alright. Mother is here. No one can take you away anymore."

Suddenly, two small figures rushed toward them from a distance.

Her tiger cubs.

The moment they saw her, their eyes lit up. "Mother! Mother!"

They flew straight into her embrace. Su Qinglan knelt despite her pregnant belly, one arm still holding Xiao San while the other welcomed them.

The impact nearly knocked her back as both cubs licked her cheeks and hands frantically, as if confirming she was real.

"I’m here," she laughed softly. "Mother is here."

Xiao San, who had been pretending to sleep, slowly opened his eyes. Seeing his older brothers, tears instantly flooded them.

"Waaah!"

He stretched out his arms and hugged them tightly. The tiger cubs froze for a second, then began crying too.

For a moment, the three cubs clung to each other, bodies trembling with sobs.

Su Qinglan’s heart melted and ached at the same time. They must have been terrified. She rubbed their backs gently.

"My babies, what happened? Why are you all crying? Mother is here now. No one will hurt you anymore."

After a long while, the tears finally stopped. The tiger cubs shifted back to human form, their faces still wet.

Su Qinglan pulled all three children close, wiping their tear-stained cheeks one by one. Though they had grown bigger and her belly was heavy, she refused to let go.

Her cubs had clearly been traumatized. They were unusually clingy, refusing to leave her warmth. Yet no matter how gently she asked, none of them would speak about what happened to them...especially Xiao San.

"I’m fine," he kept saying, shaking his head.

"Nothing happened. I was only worried about Father."

The old healer also avoided her questions, quickly changing the subject each time. It was obvious he was hiding something, so she wouldn’t scared herself to early labour.

Su Qinglan’s eyes darkened with a dangerous glint as she hugged her children tighter. She would find out the truth eventually. And when she did, the Teng Clan would pay dearly for every tear her cubs had shed.

No matter how chaotic the battles outside became, as long as her family returned safely, everything else could wait.
