Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 837

Chapter 837: Chapter 837: The Separation of Soul and Core

The brilliant light surrounding An Mo and Teng Yunxiao continued to spread, illuminating in a blinding golden-green aura.

Su Qinglan stared anxiously at the two figures, her heart pounding against her ribs. Beside her, Xuan Long could no longer sit still, his bloodshot eyes burning with desperate panic.

"What is happening to him?!" Xuan Long demanded, his voice trembling. "Why isn’t he waking up?!"

An Mo did not answer immediately. He kept one palm pressed firmly against Teng Yunxiao’s chest, his divine aura slowly and methodically entering the ancient man’s body.

After a long, agonizing moment, An Mo finally opened his mouth, his voice dark and heavy. "He was cursed."

Xuan Long’s expression changed instantly. "Cursed?"

An Mo nodded grimly. "It seems someone forcibly imprisoned him here a long time ago. Not only was his body trapped inside this mountain, but his beast core was forcibly torn from his body."

Su Qinglan’s green eyes widened in shock. "His core?!"

"Yes," An Mo’s voice became solemn. "His beast core was ripped out of his body and sealed deep within the foundation of this cavern. Without his core, his body could never leave this place."

He looked down at the spot where the glowing green crystal had just been. "And that crystal..." His dark eyes narrowed slightly. "That crystal was his core."

Xuan Long’s entire body stiffened into stone. "The crystal...?"

An Mo nodded. "That’s why he remained here for many years. His physical body was forcibly bound to this land because his core was separated from him. He could not truly leave, even if he wanted to."

Xuan Long stared at Teng Yunxiao in complete disbelief. Then his trembling gaze fell upon the sleeping Yue Yue in Su Qinglan’s arms. "So Yue Yue..."

"She didn’t just find a magical treasure," An Mo explained gravely. "She accidentally took his sealed core with her when she tried to escape."

An Mo’s expression grew solemn. "Once the core left its altar, the mountain’s ancient seal shattered, and everything began falling apart. But more importantly..." He glanced around at the collapsed ruins.

"His body had been separated from its core for far too long. The moment Yue Yue carried the crystal away, his physical form lost its final anchor and began dissolving."

Su Qinglan finally understood the horrifying truth. "So when Yue Yue escaped... his connection was broken."

"Think about it," An Mo added, his swirling golden eyes fixed on the unconscious man.

"For thousands of years, countless wicked beastmen and power-hungry people must have entered this mountain, searching endlessly for the source of its divine power. Yet not a single one of them was ever able to locate or take this core. Do you think it was just luck?"

An Mo shook his head softly, his divine light flaring.

"Even with his core forcibly separated and his memories fading, a small trace of his soul lingered behind to guard it. His soul would have instinctively destroyed anyone who dared to touch it to protect his own life force. But when Yue Yue stumbled into that chamber... everything changed."
