Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off

Chapter 691: The Untouchable Lord Was Completely Lovestruck

An Mo walked back into the main pavilion of his grand residence, his footsteps lighter than they had been in centuries.The old housekeeper was already waiting there, surrounded by a few trusted subordinates. Rows of open jade chests filled with glittering crystal cores, rare pearls, and ancient artifacts lined the marble floor.

"Lord An Mo", the old servant bowed deeply.

"As requested, I have unearthed the finest treasures from our northern vaults. Please inspect them."

An Mo didn’t even look at the priceless weapons or the glowing spirit stones. He swept his hand over the chests dismissively.

"No, no, this won’t do at all," An Mo said, tapping his chin thoughtfully.

"Take these back. Uncle, you need to redecorate the entire residence. We need to make it a place that a female would absolutely love."

The old servant froze mid-bow. He slowly raised his head, his jaw slightly slack, staring at his young master with a completely stunned, unblinking expression.

Seeing the old man staring at him like he had grown a second head, An Mo jerked his shoulders, his golden eyes flashing with a hint of embarrassment.

"Uncle! Why are you looking at me like that?" An Mo huffed, crossing his arms defensively.

"Of course, you have to prepare this place for my female! She will be coming here in the future."

The old servant’s eyes went even wider. "A... a female master? Lord An Mo, have you truly found your fated mate?"

"Naturally," An Mo muttered, a proud, smug smile instantly replacing his defensiveness.

He began pacing around the hall, gesturing wildly with his hands. "She is... she is incredibly special, Uncle. You have no idea. She is so adorable. Sometimes she has this sharp, haughty wit that completely challenges me, and other times she gets so shy her face turns as red as a cherry tomato. But her heart is pure life energy. So, we must understand what her taste is like and match it perfectly."

The housekeeper quickly pulled out a blank jade scroll, his hands trembling with excitement as he prepared to take notes. "Please instruct me, Lord."

"First of all, flowers," An Mo ordered, pointing out towards the empty, stark stone courtyard.

"Fill the gardens with flowers. Not just any flowers...bring the sweetest, most vibrant spiritual blooms from the Southern Valleys. I want her to smell a beautiful fragrance the moment she steps inside."

"Understood. Rare flora for the courtyard," the old man mumbled, writing furiously.

"And the rooms!" An Mo suddenly stopped pacing, a look of panic crossing his handsome face.

"Prepare the best room in the residence. No, wait... scratch that. Change my personal bedroom decoration entirely according to her taste! Rip out those heavy, dark curtains. Replace them with soft, warm silks. Bring in the plushies...lots of soft, comfortable cushions. I want the bed to be like a warm cloud."

The old servant’s mouth twitched, trying desperately to imagine his terrifying, cold-blooded master sleeping in a bed filled with soft cushions and bright silks.

An Mo didn’t notice the old man’s internal crisis. He was completely caught up in his own world, constantly chatting and pointing at everything in sight.

"Change this wall carving; it’s too aggressive. Change that lighting; it’s too harsh. Bring in those glowing moon gems to create a soft, warm ambience at night. Oh, and the kitchen! Make sure it is stocked with the finest herbs from the lower domains."

"Yes, Lord... change the weapons, add moon gems..." the housekeeper muttered, his head spinning from the non-stop commands.

Suddenly, An Mo snapped his fingers, his eyes lighting up with a brilliant idea.

"Uncle, go deep into the forbidden treasury," An Mo commanded, his voice dropping into a serious, reverent tone.

"Take out the finest, most divine silk material from the hidden chest...the one grandfather personally gifted me when I reached adulthood."

The old servant gasped. "Lord An Mo, that is the Heavenly Cloud Silk! It is a legendary divine artifact capable of shielding one from the laws of the universe!"

"Yes, that one." An Mo smiled softly, his gaze turning incredibly tender as he pictured her beautiful face.

"Bring it to me. I am going to use it to personally design and make a dress for my beautiful female. Only the absolute best deserves to touch her skin."

"Of course, my mate has to wear the most beautiful dress in the entire world for our mating ritual," An Mo said, puffing out his chest. He looked really, very pleased with himself.

Su Qinglan was going to come here for the first time in the future, and he definitely wanted to make everything perfect for her. Not a single thing could go wrong.

The old servant looked at his young master lovingly, his eyes crinkling at the corners. Finally... this cold, quiet palace would have a female master once again.

Ever since the tragic passing of the young lord’s father and mother centuries ago, this place had been nothing but a barren, lifeless land.

Lord An Mo had hardly shown any interest in anything at all. He used to be a completely detached person.

Sure, he always looked amused and wore a smooth smile on his face, but there was only deep emptiness in his eyes. He didn’t care for a single soul. In fact, even if a person died right in front of his eyes, he wouldn’t have batted his eyelashes.

But look at him now! He was so incredibly excited, acting just like a young, mortal man who was finally experiencing love for the very first time.

The old servant suddenly felt that his entire life had been a massive success. If he died one day, he could definitely hold his head high and show his face to his old master in the afterlife.

Thinking of this, the old housekeeper bowed his head respectfully to hide his emotional tears.

Meanwhile, the younger servants standing behind him were completely frozen in shock. The silver trays and jade boxes in their hands almost slipped onto the floor as they listened to the conversation.

This palace was actually going to have a female master? Every single one of them was utterly stunned.

Who could this mysterious female be? She was too lucky!

Everyone in the Upper Domain knew that countless high-status females from powerful clans had tried everything to gain the handsome Lord An Mo’s attention over the years.

Yet, not a single one had ever succeeded. He had ignored them all like they were thin air.

And now, the young lord was openly announcing that he had finally found his fated mate and that she would be arriving at the palace very soon!

It was like a massive storm had suddenly sparked inside the quiet hall.

The servants’ eyes were literally overflowing with juicy gossip. They really could not wait to find out which legendary, beautiful female had managed to hook the heart of their untouchable lord.

More than that, they couldn’t even imagine what kind of chaotic explosion would happen in the Upper Domain the exact moment the other elite females found out that Lord An Mo had already chosen his mate.

The entire palace was completely shaken by the news, and the countdown to the grand arrival had officially begun.
