Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off

After the initial shock faded, Su Qinglan did not keep them in suspense for long. Sitting calmly at the center, she began to explain everything from the beginning...

Rong Ye’s true identity, his past in the Fox Beast City, the betrayal of his eldest brother, and the bloody struggle for the throne that had nearly wiped out his entire bloodline.

As her voice carried through the room, the expressions of everyone present gradually changed.

At first, there was confusion.

Then disbelief.

And finally, a heavy, chilling understanding.

No one interrupted her. Even the cubs sat quietly to the side, sensing that this was not a moment for noise or play.

By the time Su Qinglan finished speaking, the room had fallen completely silent.

Now, they all understood.

They understood why she had said those words so directly earlier.

They understood why killing that man was not just an impulse but something necessary.

Xuan Long’s brows slowly drew together, his expression turning colder with every detail he processed. A faint killing intent flickered in his eyes, and without hesitation, he suddenly stood up.

"Lan Lan, do not worry," he said in a low, steady voice. "I will go and kill him."

His tone was simple, as if he were stating something obvious, but the decisiveness in it made it clear that he was already prepared to act.

Su Qinglan was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting him to move so quickly. Even Rong Ye looked up in shock, his ears twitching as he stared at Xuan Long.

Before Xuan Long could take another step, Su Qinglan reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling him back.

"Stay here," she said firmly.

Xuan Long paused, then turned to look at her, his brows still furrowed. "Why not?"

In his eyes, there was no reason to hesitate. The moment a threat appeared, it should be eliminated completely. Anyone who dared to cause trouble for her deserved no mercy.

If that man had the courage to come here, then he should be prepared to die here.

In fact, if necessary, Xuan Long would not mind erasing his entire bloodline just to remove the danger completely.

A cold glint passed through his eyes at the thought.

Sitting nearby, Rong Ye suddenly felt a chill creep up his back.

For some reason, he had a very bad feeling.

His ears drooped slightly, and he instinctively shrank into himself, not daring to say anything out loud.

Su Qinglan, however, seemed completely unaware of Rong Ye’s inner panic. She simply shook her head lightly at Xuan Long’s reaction, a trace of helplessness appearing in her eyes.

"I do want to kill him," she said calmly. "But not now."

Her gaze shifted briefly toward Rong Ye, softening for just a moment.

She had seen enough of his past to understand what kind of enemy they were dealing with.

This was not someone they could treat lightly.

If they acted rashly, they might not only fail but also bring unnecessary danger to everyone here.

Looking back at Xuan Long, her expression turned serious again.

"This is not just about one person," she said. "It is about the entire Fox Beast City behind him."

Her words made the room grow quiet once more.

This time, no one argued.

Because they all understood what she meant.

A single enemy was easy to deal with. But a force behind that enemy was a different matter entirely.

Su Qinglan’s gaze slowly settled on Rong Ye, who sat quietly beside her with his head lowered, his usual lively expression nowhere to be seen.

The playful fox who liked to joke and act shamelessly now looked unusually silent, his ears drooping slightly as if weighed down by invisible pressure. He did not say anything, but the dejection in his posture was impossible to miss.

She understood immediately what was going on in his mind.

Earlier, when he had called himself the weakest among them, she had not responded, but that did not mean she had ignored it.

On the contrary, those words had stayed with her. To her, there had never been any difference between them.

Whether strong or weak, they were all the same in her eyes... her husbands, her family.

She had never measured them by strength, nor had she ever thought that anyone among them was inferior.

But clearly, Rong Ye did not see things the same way.

In the beast world, strength was everything. It determined survival, status, and even dignity.

A beastman who could not advance, who lagged behind others, would inevitably begin to look down on himself. And Rong Ye had already reached that point.

Now, with his past resurfacing and his enemy possibly nearby, that buried insecurity had only deepened.

Su Qinglan watched him quietly, her expression calm but thoughtful. She could easily ask the others to step in.

With Xuan Long, Hu Yan, Shi Feng, and Han Jue together, dealing with that man would not be impossible. In fact, it would be the safest and fastest solution.

But would Rong Ye accept it?

Would he truly feel at ease if everything was handled by someone else?

She already knew the answer.

He would not.

Even if he stayed silent, even if he did not object in front of her, deep down he would never be satisfied. Because this was not just about danger or survival.

This was personal.

That man had destroyed his family, hunted him like prey, and forced him to live in hiding for years.

There was no way Rong Ye did not carry hatred in his heart. There was no way he had not thought, even once, about taking revenge with his own hands.

If she took that away from him, then what would remain?

Just another reminder that he was weak.

Just another reason for him to doubt himself.

Su Qinglan’s eyes darkened slightly as this thought settled in her mind. She did not want that. She would not allow her own actions to become another burden on him.

If she was going to help him, then she would do it in the right way.

Slowly, her thoughts became clear, firm, and unwavering.

She would make him stronger.

Not by shielding him from everything, but by giving him the means to stand on his own.

And when the time came...

She would place the knife in his hand.

She would let him face that man himself.

Let him end everything that had begun so many years ago.

A faint coldness flickered in her eyes.

That eldest brother, the one who had dared to destroy his own family and chase Rong Ye to the brink of death, she had no intention of letting such a person continue to exist.

But more importantly, she wanted Rong Ye to be the one to finish it.

To reclaim what had been taken from him.

To step out from the shadow of his past completely.

Su Qinglan slowly exhaled, her expression returning to its usual calmness, as if nothing had changed. But in reality, her decision had already been made.

She would kill two birds with one stone.

Help Rong Ye grow stronger...

And give him the chance to personally end the nightmare that had followed him for so long.
