Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 830

Chapter 830: Chapter 830: Her Way Home

"Don’t cry," his voice softened, chiming like a gentle bell. "Come... I’ll show you around the rest of my home."

Yue Yue sniffed, her little throat tight. She didn’t care about looking at a silly cave anymore, but she had nowhere else to go. She slowly slithered after his glowing tail.

The spirit led her down another winding passage. He showed her a crystal-clear underground pool, then pointed out strange, glowing mushrooms clinging to the rock.

He showed her faded carvings etched into the walls and several stone ledges where he had painstakingly planted glowing medicinal herbs over the centuries.

Normally, Yue Yue would have been fascinated by all the magical plants and pretty lights. But now, she barely glanced at them. Her mind was consumed by a single, desperate plea: I want to go home.

After slithering for a while, the spirit suddenly halted in mid-air. Yue Yue almost bumped her snout right into his glowing tail.

"What’s wrong?" she asked softly.

The spirit didn’t answer. He was staring straight ahead, his eyes wide.

A faint green light was glowing in the darkness ahead. It was the same mysterious glow. Yue Yue had noticed in the cavern. Before, it had been weak and distant, but now... it was radiating with incredible warmth and power.

Together, the tiny white snake and the winged spirit slowly glided towards it. The deeper they went into the passage, the brighter the light became, casting long, dancing shadows across the stone. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Soon, the narrow tunnel opened into a breathtaking, gigantic chamber.

Yue Yue’s jaw dropped. The cavern was monumental. Towering stone pillars reached up to a vaulted ceiling, covered in majestic, ancient serpent carvings.

And directly in the very centre of the chamber... something was floating in mid-air.

Yue Yue stared at it, her gemstone blue eyes wide with awe. "What is that?"

The little spirit suddenly broke into a bright, joyful smile. Looking unusually proud, he hovered over to the strange object and began zipping around it in happy circles.

"My heart," he announced happily.

Yue Yue froze, her tongue flicking nervously. "Your... heart?"

"Yes!" The spirit pointed his translucent tail at it proudly. "Look how beautiful it is!"

Yue Yue stared closely at the floating object. It was a massive, brilliant green crystal, shaped remarkably like a beating heart. With every slow, heavy pulse of light it emitted, the entire mountain seemed to vibrate softly.

Radiant lines of light spread out from the crystal, running through the floor and stone walls like glowing veins of blood.

Yue Yue swallowed hard. "That... that is your real heart?"

The spirit nodded happily. "Yes. I have kept it here for a very, very long time. It keeps this entire place alive!"

The spirit fell silent. He turned his head and looked at the glowing, beating crystal, and then looked back at the terrified little snake cub.

For a moment, his ghostly expression became strangely distant and confused.

Suddenly, words spilt from his mouth, sounding almost like an echo from an ancient past:

"If you take this out... maybe you can leave this place."
