Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 768

Chapter 768: Chapter 768: The Little Snake Princess Goes Missing

Shen Mochen stepped forward to stand in front of An Mo.

He knew An Mo’s hot temper better than anyone. An Mo had never liked the overbearing attitude of the Beast Queen, nor did he appreciate how she always tried to take the place of their late, beautiful mother.

An Mo didn’t truly hate her, but her suffocating control since childhood drove him mad. She was used to ruling the entire Upper Domain with absolute authority, and An Mo was like the rebellious child she could never quite tame.

They were always at each other’s throats.

Shen Mochen sighed inwardly, knowing how helpless the situation was, but he still tried to smooth things over.

"An Mo," Shen Mochen spoke gently, his tone calm. "Beast Mother didn’t mean any harm. She was simply worried and wanted to see your mate. Don’t be so harsh on her."

An Mo’s eyes flicked over to his brother, his jaw still tight with annoyance. "So what? Does that give her the right to come here and aggressively question my mate’s worth?!"

Shen Mochen offered him a tired, helpless smile. Leaning in closer, he whispered in a voice so low only An Mo could hear, "Just ignore it, brother. Let it go, or she’ll never leave us in peace."

Finally, through Shen Mochen’s quiet mediation, the entire family gathered around the grand dining table. Su Qinglan sat gracefully beside her mates, quietly observing the Beast Queen across from her.

The Beast Queen opened her mouth, practically itching to fire off a hundred different questions about Su Qinglan’s background and strength.

However, every time she tried to speak, she felt An Mo’s sharp, dangerous glare boring straight into her skin like hot needles, forcing her to swallow her words back down.

As the meal went on, the Beast Queen scrutinized Su Qinglan once more.

The young female looked utterly radiant, her skin carrying a healthy, glowing rosy hue, completely unaffected by the energies of the domain.

She passed the Sacred Pond... the Beast Queen realized silently, her heart settling with shock. The sacred waters have fully accepted her as the future mistress.

If the ancient, divine pond itself had acknowledged her, then who was she to stand in the way or interfere?

Realizing she had no ground left to stand on, the Beast Queen let out a loud, defeated huff, finished her meal in silence, and finally took her leave with Feng Yuchen trailing behind her.

The moment the heavy doors closed behind them, Su Qinglan let out a long, breathless sigh of relief.

She turned to look at An Mo, shaking her head slightly. "Your aunt... she is really terrifying."

An Mo huffed softly, crossing his broad arms over his chest. "Just ignore her, Lanlan. She has always been this domineering. I still remember when my mother was alive...she even tried to show off her authority right in front of my mother’s face!"

He scowled at the bitter memory. His mother had held the highest, most supreme authority in the land, yet being the elder sister, the Beast Queen had always loved to bully others and act superior.

Beside him, Xuan Long reached out, gently patting An Mo’s shoulder in quiet understanding.

An Mo looked over at Xuan Long, letting out a long, heavy sigh. "You’re right, Xuan Long..."

Xuan Long hadn’t uttered a single word, yet An Mo understood him completely. There was no point getting angry over it.

Almost all the high-ranking elders in the Upper Domain were like this. If someone was older, they constantly tried to subdue the younger generation and keep them tightly beneath their thumbs.

It gave them a twisted superiority complex...a way to boast to the world that these powerful, brilliant young men were raised by them, even though the harsh reality was entirely different.

Just like Xuan Long’s own family elders, who had constantly tried to control and manipulate him throughout his life, only to fail every single time.

The truth was, both Xuan Long and An Mo had survived and grown strong entirely on their own, fighting through blood and tears without any parental warmth.

Sitting at the table, Su Qinglan heard and absorbed everything.

Looking at the quiet, guarded faces of her mates, her heart broke for them.

The people here are truly so different... she thought to herself, a wave of sadness washing over her.

There is almost no genuine familial affection between them. Everyone is at each other’s throats, and even the young ones are left to fend for themselves from the moment they are born.

Overwhelmed by a sudden, intense wave of protective motherly love, Su Qinglan’s arms tightened instinctively around her daughter sitting on her lap.

The little wolf daughter blinked up at her mother in surprise, her soft little paw patting Su Qinglan’s chest gently as if saying. "Mother? What’s wrong?"
