Chapter 563: Chapter 563: What Exactly Have You Done, Master?

Xuan Long slowly opened his eyes again. The coldness inside them softened slightly. Now, he no longer wanted to search for that answer anymore.

Because now...

He already had everything he once never dared dream about.

A mate.

A family.

Su Qinglan.

Just thinking about her made the sharp aura around him calm instantly. And then there was Xiao San, his cub. Their adorable little cub.

Maybe in the future...They would even have more cubs together. The thought made the corners of Xuan Long’s lips soften slightly.

Meanwhile, Mo Qingli stood nearby completely confused. Every question in his mind seemed to lead nowhere. Before he could think further, Xuan Long suddenly looked at him again.

"This time, it is my turn to ask."

"How do you know about the Teng Clan?"

Mo Qingli immediately became serious. After hesitating briefly, he finally answered honestly.

"Because I once met someone from Teng Clan."

The moment those words fell... Xuan Long’s eyes instantly sharpened. His body stiffened slightly. His fists slowly clenched tightly.

Aside from himself... And the man who abandoned him... Nobody from Teng Clan had ever truly stepped into this lower domain.

Even the elders only searched from afar through subordinates.

That meant...

The person Mo Qingli met... It could only be that man. Suddenly, Xuan Long felt his heartbeat speeding up uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Mo Qingli slowly continued speaking.

"There was a man..."

"He had eyes almost identical to yours."

"I do not know whether you are related or not."

"But he was my savior."

"My master."

The forest suddenly became silent. Xuan Long remained motionless. But the emotions inside his eyes began fluctuating violently.

Mo Qingli did not notice. Instead, his own expression suddenly became cold and vigilant.

"But let me warn you first."

"If you are one of those proud people from Teng Clan who wants to harm my master..."

"You can forget about finding him."

The moment those words fell...

Xuan Long suddenly laughed softly. But that laugh carried no warmth at all.

"Harm him?"

His voice became low and dangerous.

"The people of Teng Clan may not care about that man anymore."

"But does he care about his own offspring?"

The final words came out almost like a growl. A terrifying pressure exploded outward instantly.

Mo Qingli’s face turned pale immediately. His heart shook violently. Offspring? He stared at Xuan Long with disbelief.

"You..."

"You are Master’s offspring?!"

His voice trembled heavily. But Xuan Long said nothing. The emotions inside his eyes slowly disappeared once again until only emptiness remained.

Then without another word. He turned around and disappeared instantly. Leaving Mo Qingli standing alone inside the forest.

The cold wind blew past silently. Mo Qingli remained frozen for a very long time. His mind felt completely chaotic.

Slowly, he raised a hand and rubbed his forehead hard. His expression became filled with shock.

Master had an offspring?

How was that possible?

And if the Master truly had a cub...

Why did nobody know?

Why had he never mentioned it before?

Why would he leave his own cub abandoned in the lower domain?

If he truly could not raise the cub himself... Then why not leave the cub behind with him?

Mo Qingli’s chest suddenly felt extremely heavy. Especially after remembering the emptiness inside Xuan Long’s eyes.

That child...

No.

That man clearly resented his father deeply.

Suddenly, Mo Qingli covered his face helplessly.

"Master..."

"What exactly have you done..."

His voice became bitter and complicated. At this moment, everything had finally become clear.

Xuan Long was truly from the Teng Clan. And not just anyone. He was his master’s offspring. That also meant Xiao San was his master’s grandson.

For a moment, Mo Qingli felt both happy and sad at the same time. Happy because his master’s bloodline had continued.

But sad because clearly... Their lives had not been good.

And deep inside their hearts... They probably hated his master completely.

***

Back in Dragon Beast City, the noisy commotion had finally calmed down.

The female beastman had already dragged her crying cub away, while the surrounding crowd also slowly dispersed after losing interest in the drama.

Soon, only Su Qinglan and the little cubs remained standing there together.

Su Qinglan finally relaxed slightly. She crouched down before pulling all three of her little cubs gently into her arms.

The three little babies immediately snuggled against her happily. One rubbed against her shoulder softly while another clung tightly to her waist.

Su Qinglan smiled helplessly while rubbing their fluffy little heads gently.

But suddenly, her expression paused slightly.

"Hm?"

She looked around instinctively. Only then did she realize something strange. Xuan Long was nowhere to be seen.

Today was clearly his turn to watch the cubs. So where did he go? Su Qinglan blinked before asking softly,

"Where is your father?"

"Where is Xuan Long?"

The little cubs immediately froze slightly. The three little heads turned left and right together.

Only then did they suddenly realize something was wrong too. Clearly, even they did not know where Xuan Long had disappeared to.

At that moment, Mo Xiao Li suddenly spoke proudly from nearby.

"Sister, I saw Father take my brother in law away somewhere."

His voice immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Su Qinglan turned toward him in surprise.

"Your father took Xuan Long away?"

Mo Xiao Li nodded proudly.

"Yes."

His expression clearly said, See? I knew everything from the start.

Only then did Su Qinglan finally understand. No wonder Xuan Long had disappeared so suddenly.

At the same time, she finally understood why Mo Xiao Li happened to appear here with the cubs too.

Most likely, Mo Qingli had deliberately left him behind to help watch the cubs.

Thinking of this, Su Qinglan smiled softly. She reached out and rubbed Mo Xiao Li’s head gently.

"So you stayed here to help watch the cubs?"

The moment he heard praise from his sister, Mo Xiao Li’s eyes instantly brightened. He immediately puffed up his chest proudly.

"Of course!"

"See how reliable I am?"

"I protected all my little nephews and niece very well!"

As he spoke, he secretly glanced toward the cubs beside him meaningfully. The meaning in his eyes was extremely obvious.

Praise me quickly. The next second, the little cubs immediately exploded noisily.

"Uncle Xiao Li was amazing!"

"He beat the bad cub!"

"He protected little sister!"

"He is very awesome!"

Even the smallest cubs who still could not speak properly only wagged their tails excitedly and made soft growling sounds happily.

Clearly, they were also praising him. Mo Xiao Li’s expression instantly became even prouder.

Meanwhile, Su Qinglan could not help laughing softly at his childish behavior. This little brother of hers really loved showing off too much.

Seeing her laugh, Mo Xiao Li immediately moved closer shamelessly.

"Sister..."

"Since I helped so much today..."

"You should reward me with delicious food."

The moment he said that, Su Qinglan instantly understood his real motive. No wonder he acted so obedient today. So he had been thinking about food all along.

Su Qinglan laughed helplessly.

"Of course."

"Why don’t you eat at my house today?"

Mo Xiao Li’s eyes lit up completely.

"Really?!"

His entire expression brightened instantly. Then he quickly coughed lightly and tried pretending to act calm.

"Then... I will not be polite."

"I will go with you."
