Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 680

Chapter 680: Chapter 680: The Long Flight Home

Lan Shun chuckled helplessly, rubbing the back of his neck. "She’s always been like that since she was a cub. She’s really something else."

Slap!

Wang Mulan slapped her palm flat against the heavy wooden table, rattling the stone bowls.

"That makes it even worse! Go bring her here immediately! I’ll personally keep a strict eye on her! What if she catches a cold and gets deathly sick? Has she ever seen another female in any tribe soaking in an icy river?!"

"Every single female stays safely inside the house wrapped in furs during winter, and she actually went out swimming! That mischievous child... she hasn’t changed a single bit!"

Seeing her fiery reaction, everyone around the table couldn’t help but burst into soft laughter.

Wang Mulan was still exactly the same as she had always been. Whenever it came to her children, she worried herself to pieces over every little thing.

After calming her breathing and sitting back down, her maternal gaze shifted, wandering toward the other side of the table until it landed squarely on Yin Feng.

"Husband," she murmured, a trace of deep maternal worry clouding her face once more.

"Where are our three sons? They explicitly promised they would return to Dragon Beast City before the first frost of winter. Why haven’t they come back yet?"

The worry in her voice was palpable. Her three sons had traveled to Yin Feng’s ancestral hawk tribe nearly a year ago to undergo their traditional growth training deep in the dangerous mountains.

Now, winter had already arrived in full force, yet there was still absolutely no sign of them on the horizon.

Yin Feng reached across the table, his large, calloused hand gently closing over hers to offer comfort.

"They should be back any day now, Mulan. Don’t fret. They’re already sixteen years old; they’re not little, helpless cubs anymore. They know how to track, and they won’t lose their way."

Wang Mulan still couldn’t completely relax her tense shoulders.

"But they’re still my cubs, Yin Feng. What if something terrible happened on the mountain passes? What if they’re trapped in some cave right now, freezing because of the heavy snow? What if..."

Yin Feng smiled helplessly, his thumb gently tracing the back of her hand. "If they’re really trapped by the blizzard, I’ll personally head out into the mountains and drag them back by their scruffs myself. Alright?"

Only then did Wang Mulan finally let out a small, trembling sigh of relief, leaning back slightly.

Just then, the heavy bedroom door slowly creaked open.

A tiny, sleepy little figure walked out into the dining hall, aggressively rubbing his eyes with his fists.

Mo Xiao Li yawned widely, his messy, dark hair sticking out in every single direction like a bird’s nest. He looked completely dazed and half-asleep.

However... the exact millisecond the rich scent of the hot food hit his nose, his eyes instantly snapped wide open, turning bright and sharp.

"Food!" he gasped.

He didn’t waste another second. He immediately sprinted across the floorboards straight toward the table.

Then, stopping right at the edge, he looked up at the adults with a deeply aggrieved, pouty face.

"Hmph!" he huffed, crossing his tiny arms. "Why didn’t anyone wake me up from my nap? You’re all eating this delicious food entirely without me!"

The room instantly burst into a chorus of hearty laughter. Mo Qingli looked down at his dramatic son, shaking his head full of amusement and exasperation.

"You absolute little glutton," Mo Qingli teased gently. "You already ate a massive bowl of seasoned meat right before you fell asleep for your nap. Are you seriously hungry again already?"
