Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 731

Chapter 731: Chapter 731: Brother, I Can Explain!

An Mo finally stepped back into the Beast World, the familiar icy wind brushing against his face as he walked along the snow-covered path toward the courtyard.

His golden hair swayed behind him as he stuffed both hands into his sleeves, muttering to himself with an annoyed expression.

"Why did Xuan Long come back so soon?" He clicked his tongue in deep irritation. "I thought he would stay in the Teng Clan for at least another week."

A moment later, he suddenly shivered as the icy wind blew past.

"...No, no." He quickly flipped his long golden hair over his shoulder and straightened his back proudly. "So what? What can he even do to me? I am not weaker than him!"

His supreme confidence lasted for exactly three seconds.

Then, he let out a long, helpless sigh. "He really poured cold water over my perfect plan. It would have been much better if everything had already been done before he returned. But no... he just had to come back so early."

He looked toward the cloudy winter sky with an exaggerated expression of total grievance.

"Is Teng Clan that peaceful now? Can’t he stay there for a few more days? What a hopeless love fool! He can’t even stay away from her for one week."

An Mo clicked his tongue again, shaking his head. "Really embarrassing. But..." His expression softened a little. "I suppose he was bound to find out sooner or later."

Just as those words left his mouth...

A calm, deep voice sounded right behind him.

"...what exactly should I know?"

An Mo froze completely. Every single hair on his body seemed to stand straight up. Slowly... very, very slowly... he turned his head around.

Standing quietly under a large tree was Xuan Long.

Snowflakes drifted silently around his tall figure. His light robes blended seamlessly with the winter scenery, while his deep emerald eyes rested calmly on An Mo without the slightest trace of emotion.

He had no expression whatsoever, which somehow made him ten times scarier than if he were roaring with rage.

For a brief, desperate second, An Mo genuinely wanted to pretend he was blind, see nothing, and simply turn around and walk away.

Instead, a dazzling, overly bright smile instantly bloomed across his face. His eyes lit up as if he had just reunited with his long-lost twin brother.

"Xuan Long!" An Mo cried out, his voice dripping with dramatic passion.

"My dear brother!"

He spread both arms as wide as possible and enthusiastically threw himself forward for a big, affectionate hug.

To his absolute surprise... Xuan Long did not move or dodge. He simply stood there like a mountain, allowing the overly dramatic angel to wrap both arms around him.

The courtyard became strangely, terrifyingly quiet.

After a long, agonizing moment... Xuan Long slowly lowered his eyes and looked An Mo up and down.

His gaze lingered on the shimmering, bright golden robes. Then on the impossibly expensive jade belt. Then on the countless shiny, chiming ornaments hanging from his wide sleeves.

Finally... he spoke.

"...Where do you think you are going..." Xuan Long’s emerald eyes lifted to meet An Mo’s face, cold and unblinking. "...dressed like a peacock?"

An Mo immediately gasped dramatically, stepping back to look down at his glorious outfit.

"What do you mean, peacock?! This is high fashion!" He proudly flicked his golden hair over his shoulder again.

"I refuse to become an old, boring man like someone here."

Xuan Long remained completely silent, watching him like a predator watching an idiot.

An Mo grinned even wider, winking. "After all... I have someone special I need to impress."
