Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 646

Chapter 646: Chapter 646: The Upper Domain

The Upper Domain.

Deep beneath a mountain that no longer appeared on any map, an ancient dungeon sat buried within endless darkness. There was no light, no sound, and no life. The darkness was so thick that even breathing felt difficult, as though the air itself had become part of the suffocating void.

Yet within that darkness, a pair of emerald eyes slowly opened.

They glowed faintly, cold and emotionless, like a beast staring at its prey. No...perhaps even that comparison was wrong. Beasts still possessed emotions. The owner of those eyes did not.

Teng Siyan knelt upon the cold floor, his entire body trembling uncontrollably. Blood dripped steadily from his neck where the Beast Suppressant Lock wrapped around his throat. Every breath felt as though he were swallowing shards of broken glass.

Yet none of that frightened him.

The thing that truly terrified him was the person sitting before him.

Xuan Long sat upon the black throne as though he had always belonged there. A spotless white robe draped over his body, pure and immaculate. It should have looked holy. Instead, it only made him appear more terrifying.

Like a demon pretending to be a god.

Teng Siyan’s lips trembled as he forced the words out.

"X-Xuan Long..."

The emerald eyes slowly shifted toward him.

Instantly, Teng Siyan felt as though an enormous mountain had crashed down onto his shoulders. His body lowered involuntarily under the pressure.

"I’m your uncle."

His voice cracked as he spoke.

"You can’t kill me. The clan rules forbid it."

Silence answered him. The darkness swallowed his words whole.

Suddenly a low laugh echoed through the dungeon. It was not loud or mocking. It was the sort of laugh someone might make after hearing something utterly absurd.

Xuan Long lowered his gaze toward him.

"Uncle?"

His voice was soft.

The corners of his lips lifted slightly.

"Interesting."

As he leaned forward, Teng Siyan felt a chill crawl through his entire body. For some reason, that simple movement frightened him more than anything else.

"You speak as though you’ve ever acted like one."

The faint smile vanished.

"So tell me."

"When exactly were you my uncle?"

Teng Siyan froze.

Slowly, Xuan Long rose from the throne. His white robe brushed across the floor as he walked.

Every footstep sounded like a death sentence.

Only then did Teng Siyan realize something horrifying. He could not sense any aura from Xuan Long.

Standing before him did not feel like standing before a person. It felt like standing before an abyss.

No matter how hard he looked, he could not see the bottom.

Xuan Long stopped directly before him and then crouched down. Their eyes met.

For the first time, Teng Siyan truly saw what was hidden within those emerald eyes.

It was nothing...

It was as though Teng Siyan’s existence held no value whatsoever. As though he was not even worthy of being hated. That realization shattered something inside him.

"Do you know what I hate most?" Xuan Long asked quietly.

Teng Siyan could not answer. His body had already gone numb.

"I hate hearing clan rules."

The smile returned. A beautiful and terrifying smile.

"Every parasite in the Teng Clan hides behind those words."

As he spoke, his fingers lightly touched the Beast Suppressant Lock.

The next second...

CRACK!

Teng Siyan’s scream tore through the dungeon.

The lock suddenly tightened around his neck. Every bone in his body felt as though it were being crushed into powder. Veins bulged across his skin as blood poured from his mouth.

He collapsed onto the floor and began thrashing wildly.

"Aaaaah!"

His screams echoed endlessly through the darkness.

Xuan Long simply watched. His expression never changed. Like someone observing an insect struggling after losing a leg.
