Xiao San is reunited with his mother, Su Qinglan, while his father, Shi Feng, remains unconscious but shows signs of recovery thanks to Su Qinglan's healing. Meanwhile, An Mo easily breaks Xuan Long's beast suppression lock, terrifying the nearby elders. As the terrified Teng Clan members attempt to flee using teleportation scrolls, An Mo destroys them, leaving them defenseless against an enraged Xuan Long.

Just when everyone thought the situation could not become any more chaotic, the ground suddenly trembled.

Before the Teng Clan members could react, countless green vines burst out from the earth like angry dragons.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

"AHHH!"

"What is this?!"

"Help!"

The elders instantly screamed.

The vines moved so fast that nobody could dodge them. One by one, the Teng Clan elders and even Teng Siyan himself were tied up tightly.

Their faces immediately turned green. Before they could struggle, another wave of vines appeared and wrapped all of them together like a giant bundle.

The entire Teng Clan was suddenly tied into one enormous dumpling.

Everyone was stunned. Then a loud voice echoed across the entire city.

"Xuan Long!"

The voice was filled with authority. Every beastman immediately recognized it.

"Don’t dirty my beast city with these bastard’s blood!"

The voice continued. "Take them outside and deal with them properly. Only then are you allowed to come back!"

The words sounded fierce. But anyone with ears could hear the hidden meaning. The fierce tone was only on the surface. The concern underneath was almost overflowing.

It sounded less like an order and more like a female telling her mate to hurry home after finishing all the dirty work.

The entire city instantly became quiet. Then countless strange gazes landed on Xuan Long.

Xuan Long’s giant serpent body froze. His emerald eyes widened slightly. His entire murderous aura instantly weakened by half.

Meanwhile, the Teng Clan members felt like they had been struck by lightning.

That terrifying beast...

Was being scolded?

And...

He was actually listening?

Before they could process it, the vines suddenly tightened.

Then...

WHOOSH!

Like a giant slingshot, all the tied-up Teng Clan members were launched into the sky.

"AHHHHHHHHH!"

Teng Siyan screamed.

The elders screamed.

Even their ghosts screamed.

The entire Teng Clan flew over the city wall like cannonballs.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

One after another, they disappeared outside the city.

Then Stove, who had secretly been controlling the vines, appeared nearby and dusted off his hands proudly. He looked toward the direction the Teng Clan had flown. His eyes sparkled.

Now this was a drama worth watching.

Xuan Long’s giant serpent body shuddered. His eyes searched everywhere.

Left.

Right.

Front.

Back.

But he could not find Su Qinglan anywhere.

An Mo immediately noticed. The corner of his mouth twitched.

"What are you looking for?"

Xuan Long looked at him.

An Mo shrugged lazily.

"Your female has already given her orders."

"You better finish cleaning up the mess you created."

"Otherwise, don’t even think about entering the house."

An Mo said it casually. But Xuan Long’s eyes instantly hardened. The next second, his enormous serpent body disappeared.

Clearly, he was going to settle accounts very properly.

Meanwhile, Stove happily chased after him. His face was filled with excitement.

Who would miss such a good show? Absolutely not him.

On the other side, Hu Yan and Han Jue, who had looked half-dead moments ago, suddenly felt life return to their bodies.

The moment they heard Su Qinglan’s voice, their dull eyes instantly lit up. The two tiger cubs hiding in Hu Yan’s fur suddenly poked their little heads out.

Their eyes widened.

"Mother!"

"Mother is back!"

The two little cubs instantly became excited. Without hesitation, they jumped out and started running.

Hu Yan immediately panicked.

"Don’t run!"

"Wait for Father Beast!"

The two cubs completely ignored him. Hu Yan nearly cried.

Han Jue was not much better. His usually cold face had already cracked. His eyes searched everywhere desperately. He wanted to see her, just one look.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed around his paw.

Crack.

The restraint binding him fell apart. Han Jue’s eyes widened. Then he slowly raised his head. His gaze met An Mo’s.

An Mo simply nodded. A very small nod, nothing more. But Han Jue was very grateful.

At the same time, Hu Yan also looked over. The three males exchanged glances. No words were spoken between them. Yet it felt as though thousands of words had already been exchanged.

The next second, Hu Yan and Han Jue did not hesitate any longer. They rushed away at full speed toward the place where they could feel Su Qinglan’s presence.

Watching them leave, An Mo silently stood there. For a moment, he looked at the destroyed city around him. Then he looked at the sky.

A sigh escaped him.

"So..."

"They are all becoming one happy reunited family again."

His shoulders slumped dramatically.

"And once again..."

"I am alone."

His voice sounded extremely pitiful. His eyes even became slightly crinkled. It looked as though he had suffered the greatest grievance in the world.

Unfortunately, his acting lasted less than three seconds.

"Child!"

A loud voice suddenly interrupted him.

"Young man!"

An Mo froze. Slowly, he turned around. Then he saw Su Mingxuan desperately waving at him.

Beside him were Wang Mulan and Mo Qingli. All three were still tied up. An Mo slapped his forehead. How could he forget about them? He was truly useless.

"Damn."

He had completely forgotten them. How embarrassing. With a flick of his finger, the ropes binding them instantly broke apart.

Su Mingxuan immediately rushed over. Then he grabbed An Mo’s hand warmly.

An Mo stiffened. His brain instantly stopped working.

Su Mingxuan looked at him with gratitude.

"Good child."

"Who are you?"

"I’ve never seen you before."

An Mo froze. His smile froze. His breathing froze. His soul almost left his body.

Father-in-law.

Future father-in-law.

Future father-in-law was talking to him.

For the first time, An Mo’s mind exploded. Countless thoughts rushed through his head.

Finished, He was finished.

Why had he spent the entire battle acting like a clown?

Why had he been teasing the Teng Clan?

Why had he not stood on a mountain with his hands behind his back?

Why had he not appeared more domineering?

More mysterious?

More powerful?

More handsome?

This was his first impression!

His first impression!

An Mo immediately regretted everything. He should have rescued them first. He should have smiled wisely. He should have spoken profound words. He should have looked like an unrivaled expert.

Instead, he had been making jokes and bullying Teng Clan members.

An Mo wanted to go back in time and punch himself. Meanwhile, Su Mingxuan was still looking at him curiously.

"Child?"

"Why aren’t you speaking?"

An Mo instantly straightened his back. His posture became as straight as a spear. His expression became serious. His aura became noble. Then he politely bowed.

"This junior is An Mo."

Inside his heart, however, he was screaming.

Father-in-law!

Please leave a good impression of me!

I can cook!

I can fight!

I can protect Lanlan!

Please don’t reject me before I even start courting her!
