Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 823

Chapter 823: Chapter 823: The Ancient Serpent Temple

Together, the two beastmen and the three cubs searched the entire estate. They checked under every bed, inside every closet, behind the heavy curtains, and even in the pantry.

Nothing.

Rong Ye closed his eyes, extending his sharp beast senses to track her scent. His eyes snapped open a second later, his expression completely cracking.

"This doesn’t make sense," Rong Ye growled softly.

Shi Feng looked at him, his heart sinking. "What is it?"

"Her scent is in the backyard where she was sleeping... but it completely stops there," Rong Ye said, his voice laced with sudden fear.

"There is no trailing scent leading out of the gate. There is no scent of any stranger either. The only scent in this house belongs to our family."

Shi Feng’s face turned pale. "How is that possible? No one has entered or left the courtyard all afternoon! We were right inside building the bed! If a stranger had approached, we would have smelled them instantly!"

"Exactly," Rong Ye’s jaw tightened into a hard line. "No stranger came in, and Yue Yue didn’t walk out through the gate on her own."

By this time, the commotion had woken up Su Qinglan. She walked out of the bedroom, rubbing her eyes with a sleepy Ciao Ciao held in her arms.

"What’s all the noise about?" Su Qinglan asked softly, looking at the stressed expressions of her husbands. "Did something happen?"

Shi Feng looked at her, his voice tight. "Qinglan... Yue Yue is missing."

Su Qinglan froze instantly. All sleepiness vanished from her body in a single heart-stopping second. "What?"

"She was sleeping in the backyard with Lulu," Shi Feng explained rapidly, his hands clenching into fists. "Lulu woke up and couldn’t find her. We searched the entire house. She’s gone."

Su Qinglan set Ciao Ciao down and ran to the backyard herself, calling out desperately, "Yue Yue! Yue Yue, where are you?!"

Silence answered her.

The entire household was instantly thrown into absolute chaos and panic. Su Qinglan stood in the middle of the yard, her face pale as snow, her chest heaving with terrifying fear.

Yue Yue couldn’t have walked out by herself without leaving a scent trail. No intruder could have walked into the estate past two powerful beastmen without being noticed.

Yet, the tiny snake cub had vanished into thin air.

Is Yue Yue kidnapped?

The horrifying thought struck Su Qinglan’s heart like a bolt of lightning, leaving the entire family frozen in pure terror.

Far away from Dragon Beast City, deep in an unfamiliar forest, a frail figure walked slowly along a dirt path.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

The old man stopped near a tall tree. With a heavy sigh, he unslung the small cloth bag hanging from his shoulder and threw it unceremoniously onto the hard ground.

Thud.

He picked up the bag and gave it a rough shake.

Yue Yue looked down at the piece of meat. She really was hungry...her stomach was practically sticking to her back after being trapped in that dark bag for so long. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
