Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Xuan Long Is Restless

The sun is rising rapidly, spilling light across the calm forest, but Xuan Long couldn’t calm down.

He sat in front of a flowing river, his emerald eyes half narrowed, his tail slowly swaying behind him, a clear sign that he was angry.

That fox... that cunning Rong Ye. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

He could still hear his words echoing in his mind that shameless, smug tone when he dared to say he would warm their female.

Just remembering it made Xuan Long’s scales prickle.

He had almost lost control right there. His blood had boiled, and his instincts had screamed to strike, to silence that arrogant mouth forever.

If Su Qinglan hadn’t been there, he might have done it.

But then he thought of her, the way she smiled at them, the way she looked at him with those soft eyes.

If he killed the fox, she would be sad. Maybe she would even hate him.

And that... he could never allow.

So he swallowed his fury, forced it down his throat like bitter fruit, and let the fox live.

But then... Rong Ye just had to go too far.

Not only did he mock him, but that sly fox had the nerve to laugh and say that he couldn’t lay snake eggs.

Snake eggs!

Xuan Long’s jaw tightened as his tail thumped against the ground, forming a crack.

He had lived for years...hunted, fought, and survived every danger, and now this little fox dared to make fun of him like that?

No. He wasn’t going to let that go so easily.

If he couldn’t kill him, he could at least teach him a proper lesson.

After all, he wasn’t a fool. He had survived this long not because he was gentle, but because he knew how to handle someone like him.

So when the others were asleep and no one was watching, he found the fox.

Rong Ye barely had time to blink before Xuan Long’s tail wrapped tightly around him, dragging him out of the cave to properly give him a treatment.

"You like teasing others, don’t you?" He thought, "Let’s see if you can still tease when you can’t move."

The fox yelped once, but then the sound was muffled.

Xuan Long was careful...every hit, every move was precise. He didn’t leave any marks on the fox’s skin. No bruises, no scratches. He was careful not to hurt him too badly.

He knew Su Qinglan wouldn’t like it if she found out they fought. Females didn’t like their beastly husbands fighting; she had said that before.

He didn’t want her to see him as savage or cruel.

So he made sure the punishment was clean, silent, and invisible.

But inside, he was completely cold.

That was the thing about Xuan Long... gentle to the one he loved, deadly to everyone else.

When he finally let the fox go, Rong Ye was trembling, his face pale and his tail puffed up like a frightened cat.

And that was when Xuan Long saw it that long, soft, fluffy tail that the fox always used to seduce their female.

Something inside him snapped.

With a dark smile curling on his lips, he reached out and tore off a patch of the fox’s tail fur.

The fox’s eyes widened in horror.

Xuan Long tilted his head slightly, amusement flashing across his cold face.

"Doesn’t that tail of yours like to wave around in front of my female?" he said quietly. "Let’s see how you’ll do that now."

He flicked the torn fur aside and watched the fox scramble away, muttering something under his breath.

For the first time in the entire morning, Xuan Long felt a little lighter.

Finally... some peace.

At least the fox would keep his distance for a while. And until that tail grew back, there would be many quiet days.

A faint, satisfied smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

But as the calm settled in, something else crept into his mind, a colder, more dangerous thought.
