The Beast Queen is shocked to learn that Xuan Long has already mated and fathered two children, a feat considered almost impossible for his clan. Xuan Long requests a divine teleportation scroll to bring his mate and children from the lower domains to the Upper Domain. The Beast Queen, moved by his happiness, grants him the scroll and eagerly awaits their arrival.

On the other hand, back in the lower domain inside Dragon Beast City, the morning was quiet and peaceful.

Hu Yan was currently in the cubs’ room, helping the little ones tidy up their messy blankets. Suddenly, a clear, steady knock echoed from the front door of the house.

"Who could it be in the early morning?" Hu Yan muttered under his breath, raising a thick eyebrow in confusion.

He patted his robes down and immediately walked toward the front door. Behind him, Xiao Yi and Xiao Er, the energetic tiger cubs, trailed closely after him.

Their little ears twitched with deep curiosity, eager to see who had come to visit so early.

The moment Hu Yan pulled open the heavy wooden door, he was greeted by a mix of familiar and unfamiliar faces standing on the snow-dusted porch.

Before he could even ask a question, two cheerful voices chimed out in unison: "Good morning, brother-in-law!"

One voice belonged to Lan Yue, Su Qinglan’s sweet younger sister. The other, much smaller voice belonged to the little cub, Mo Xiao Li.

Hu Yan’s usually stern face immediately crinkled into a warm, welcoming smile.

"You are all here! Quick, come inside. The outside is still incredibly chilly," he said, stepping aside to let them pass.

The tiger cubs, who were peeking curiously from behind Hu Yan’s massive legs, instantly darted forward the moment they spotted Lan Yue and Mo Xiao Li.

However, the unruly cubs chose to swarm Mo Xiao Li first. They happily rubbed their furry heads against his arms and waist, purring like small engines.

The cubs had grown so fast that they were almost as tall as Mo Xiao Li’s chest now!

Mo Xiao Li was also very happy. His small face lit up with joy as he hugged the massive cubs back, rubbing his cheeks against their fur. He whispered in an incredibly sweet, proud tone, "My good nephews!"

Hearing a tiny, five-year-old child call the massive tiger cubs his "nephews" made almost everyone in the room chuckle.

But as Hu Yan looked past them, his gaze landed on three tall, young beastmen standing awkwardly near the doorframe.

Lan Yue noticed their hesitation, so she playfully nudged the shoulder of the closest teenager.

The nudge made the three young beastmen instantly stiffen like boards. They looked incredibly nervous, their hands fumbling with their winter cloaks before they managed to call out together in shaky voices, "G-Good morning, brother-in-law."

Hu Yan was completely stunned. He raised his eyes, his expression clearly asking who these three were. He had absolutely never seen them before, yet they were calling him brother-in-law too!

Lan Yue giggled at his confused face and quickly explained, "Brother Hu Yan, they are the triplets of Father Yin Feng!"

"Oh!" Hu Yan’s expression instantly turned into pure delight. "So it’s you three!"

He had definitely heard from Su Qinglan that she had three younger triplet brothers from her father Yin Feng, but because they had been out of Dragon Beast City, he had never had the chance to meet them until today. His towering, fierce aura immediately melted into a gentle older-brother expression.

"Come in, come in! Sit down in the main hall and get warm," Hu Yan urged them warmly, ushering the nervous group inside.

As they all settled down on the comfortable wooden chairs in the main hall, Han Jue also peeked his head out from the kitchen.

Seeing the house full of guests, the white wolf beastman was also highly delighted.

"Lan Lan is still sound asleep right now," Han Jue said softly, not wanting to wake his precious female just yet.

"Why don’t you all stay here and get warm first? I will bring some hot, steaming water for everyone to drink."

With Han Jue heading back to the kitchen, the three young teenagers... Yin Chen, Yin Shen, and Yin Lie sat on the very edge of their chairs.

They were nervous as hell. This was their very first time stepping into their legendary elder sister’s house, and facing two incredibly powerful, high-ranking beastmen like Hu Yan and Han Jue made their hearts hammer against their ribs.

They kept their posture completely straight, not daring to look around too wildly, creating a sweet yet hilarious contrast to the relaxed atmosphere of the cozy house.

Their young minds were completely fried from everything that had happened over the last twenty-four hours.

When they had finally returned to Dragon Beast City yesterday with their father, Yin Feng, the joyous reunion was a bit overwhelming.

The city was buried under massive piles of thick snow, but the warmth inside their home was undeniable.

However, the moment they stepped through the door, a series of absolute bombshells dropped right onto their heads.

First, they found out their mother, Wang Mulan, had a "new" mate.

Second, this mate wasn’t actually new...he was her very first beast husband, the true leader of the family!

Third, and most shocking of all, they had a child together long ago, which meant the triplets suddenly had a legendary, super-powerful elder sister named Su Qinglan.

Before the three teenagers could even process having a new father and a mysterious elder sister, the next morning brought even more chaos.

Early in the day, their younger sister Lan Yue and the little cub Mo Xiao Li began begging and whining to visit this elder sister’s house.

Why?

Because they were suddenly craving the delicious, hot food made by the older brother-in-law.

Wang Mulan, helpless against their begging, decided it was the perfect opportunity. She packed them all up and sent the triplets along to properly greet their new elder sister and meet their little nephews.

But right before they left, they found out one more terrifying fact: their elder sister literally had ’eight children’.

Eight!

’Is our elder sister a goddess?’ Yin Chen had thought, his eyes wide with horror.

’Females are supposed to be fragile and delicate!’ Yin Shen’s inner monologue had screamed.

’Our mother took years of rest between each of us because bearing children is so hard on a female’s body. But this new sister popped out eight?!’

’Those beast husbands of hers must be absolute monsters!’ Yin Lie had concluded furiously in his mind.

’They aren’t considerate at all! They must be bullying our poor, defenseless elder sister because she didn’t have any brothers to protect her until now!’

With their chests puffed out like brave protectors, the three young chicks had marched toward Su Qinglan’s house, secretly vowing to teach those inconsiderate beast husbands a proper lesson.

They were her younger brothers now. They would protect her honor!

But the exact moment the front door swung open, reality slammed into them like a physical wall.

They were greeted by the massive, towering, rock-solid build of Hu Yan.

The tiger beastman’s sharp, casual stare fell right upon them.

In an instant, the fierce courage of the three teenagers evaporated. Their shoulders violently trembled under his heavy gaze.

They dared not utter a single word, completely frozen on the porch until Lan Yue forcefully nudged their shoulders to make them greet their brother-in-law.

Once inside, their eyes were instantly drawn to the two tiger cubs, Xiao Yi and Xiao Er.

The cubs were so beautifully fluffy and thick that the triplets immediately wanted to run over and squeeze them.

But seeing the chubby little Mo Xiao Li get the absolute privilege of being hugged and pampered by the cubs made the three brothers incredibly jealous.
