Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Phoenix Luck

On the other side of the tribe, the witch doctor stormed back into his cave, his steps echoing hard against the rocky ground.

The witch staffs he used to walk rattled as he slammed them down. His face was twisted with rage, eyes burning like he wanted to murder someone.

Never in his entire life had he been this angry. How dare that useless female humiliate him in front of everyone! A mere outsider, a fat fool who used to do nothing but eat and make trouble, and today she dared to talk back, dared to ruin his plans right in front of the whole tribe.

His hands shook. He grabbed the small stone balls on his table and hurled them to the ground. Clatter! Clatter! The noise echoed through the dark cave, but it didn’t cool his rage, it only made it worse.

"She thinks she’s smart now?" he spat under his breath. "Just because a few people started siding with her? Hah!"

He paced back and forth, his breath heavy and rough. "I’ve worked for years for this position. Years! I didn’t become the witch doctor just to be insulted by some spoiled female."

His eyes flashed coldly. "Even Langeo couldn’t compete with me. And where is he now? Six feet under the ground. Forgotten."

He slammed his staff hard against the cave floor, the sound booming like thunder. "And now this witch dares to stand in my way? I’ll show her what happens when someone crosses me."

His lips curled into a grim smile. "Let her laugh now. Soon she’ll beg for mercy. The tribe will see who truly holds power."

Then, a soft voice spoke behind him.

"My dear, don’t be so angry," said a woman, her tone sweet like honey but her smile sharp as a knife. "Xu Meiyan told me everything. You shouldn’t lose your temper over a fat girl like her. She is nothing in front of you."

The witch doctor turned sharply. The one speaking was none other than Mu Lihua, Su Qinglan’s mother.

He let out a bitter laugh. "What a good daughter you have, Lihua. How could she do something like that? Wasn’t she always useless and brainless? Then how does she suddenly know how to use fire, how to cook such delicious food?"

His voice rose with madness. "For all these years, I made the fire sacred. I taught everyone that only I could control it! And now she... she ruins everything by showing them how to light it! If everyone learns, who will respect me as the sacred man anymore?"

Mu Lihua’s smile froze. Her painted lips trembled as she frowned.

"I don’t understand either," she said coldly. "We’ve always known that cursed girl’s life was blessed. She had the luck of a phoenix. We worked so hard to steal that luck from her and made her dumb and useless. So how can she suddenly become smart and bold again?"

The witch doctor fell silent. His eyes narrowed, filled with something more dangerous than anger—it was fear.
