Xuan Long stops his son Xiao San from gambling with his siblings by giving him a large pouch of crystal cores. Xiao San tries to justify his actions by claiming he was teaching them a lesson. Later, Han Jue prepares powdered milk for the cubs, which An Mo tastes and comments is not as good as Su Qinglan's milk, much to Han Jue's shock.

The next afternoon, the snowy courtyard was peaceful, with warm sunlight filtering through the frost on the windows. Inside the cozy living room, An Mo sat cross-legged on a thick fur carpet, surrounding himself with all the energetic little cubs.

After his chaotic beating from Xuan Long the previous day, the golden-haircut beastman was now fully healed and back to his usual overly dramatic self. His golden eyes gleamed with a mischievous light as he gathered the cubs close into a tight secret circle.

"Hey, little ones," An Mo whispered, leaning down with a mysterious, charming smile. "Do you want to go on an exciting trip?"

The cubs all froze mid-play. They tilted their small heads, blinking their large, round, innocent eyes up at him in utter curiosity.

"What trip?" Xiao Yi, the eldest tiger cub, asked with a soft chirp, swishing his little striped tail.

An Mo chuckled deeply. He reached out and easily scooped up the chubby little tiger cub into his arms, snuggling the soft belly.

"You know... the place we are going is super big! The house is massive, and there are so many people there for you to play with every single day!"

Hearing about a big house, the little lion cub didn’t look interested at all. He yawned lazily, resting his small chin on his paws, looking completely unbothered.

Noticing the lion cub’s total lack of enthusiasm, An Mo immediately changed his strategy. He knew the way to a lion’s heart!

An Mo leaned toward the lion cub and began listing off mouth-watering treats with an exaggerated expression.

"And best of all... there is endless delicious food there! Rare roasted meats, sweet golden peaches, juicy crystal fruits, and crispy baked birds!"

The moment the word meat left An Mo’s mouth, the lion cub’s ears instantly twitched and stood straight up! His golden eyes lit up like bright lanterns, and he scrambled to his feet, drooling slightly.

An Mo was thoroughly amused, stifling a laugh. These cubs really only care about food!

"So, little lion," An Mo asked with a smug grin, "do you want to go now?"

The lion cub nodded his fluffy head frantically! "Yes, yes! I want to go! I’m going!"

Besides him, Ciao Ciao, the little nine-tailed fox cub, let out a cheerful yip. Being an adventurous little fox, he was always eager to explore new, unseen places. Both Xiao Yi and the tiger cub were also jumping up and down, completely ready for an adventure.

However, Xiao Er, the second tiger cub, twitched his small pink nose suspiciously. He crossed his tiny front paws and looked at An Mo with a calculating gaze.

"If Father goes, then I will go too," Xiao Er declared flatly.

The moment Xiao Er said that, the rest of the cubs were instantly dumbfounded. Father isn’t going?!

The wolf-twin baby girls immediately turned their wide, teary eyes towards Xiao Er. Their soft ears flopped down, and their tiny noses twitched as their eyes began to water. They let out pitiful, shivering little meows.

Xiao Er quickly crawled over, wrapping his chubby tiger arms protectively around his baby sisters. He looked up at An Mo and explained in a solemn, mature tone, "My little sisters are saying... if Father Han Jue won’t go together, they won’t go either."

Xiao San stroked his sister’s head and added proudly, "If my sisters can go, then I will go."

An Mo looked down at the sharp little snake cub, thoroughly amused. "Are you not going to ask if your own father is going?"

Xiao San dramatically rolled his big, round eyes at An Mo, letting out a small, disdainful snort through his black nose.

Of course his father would follow if he took his baby sister! Did his uncle really think he was that stupid?

Xiao Er felt he was exceptionally intelligent. He knew very well that if he took his baby sister along, his father might not care about him, but his father would definitely follow his precious little daughter anywhere in the world!

Xiao San puffed out his chest with a supreme, triumphant expression, feeling like a genius mastermind.

Seeing the other cubs start to panic...worrying that their respective fathers wouldn’t join the trip... An Mo suddenly burst out laughing.

"When did I ever say your fathers couldn’t go?" An Mo chuckled, gently patting the cubs’ heads one by one. "Everyone will go together! A big family trip!"

Standing near the hallway, Hu Yan and Shi Feng had been watching the scene unfold. Hearing An Mo’s words, they walked over with confused expressions.

"Where exactly are we going?" Hu Yan asked, raising an eyebrow.

Before answering, An Mo smirked and looked back at the excited circle of cubs. "First, answer me: if your fathers go, will all of you definitely go?"

"YES!" all the cubs chimed in together, bouncing on their paws.

"Good!" An Mo grinned. "You little ones wait here. I have to discuss some very important adult business with your fathers."

A few moments later, inside the other room, the atmosphere was completely different.

An Mo, Hu Yan, Han Jue, Shi Feng, and Rong Ye were all gathered in a tight circle. As An Mo quietly explained the true destination and the plan behind the trip, the casual, lighthearted mood vanished instantly.

Everyone’s expressions turned strained and heavy. The room fell into a heavy, suffocating silence as the men looked at each other, none of them knowing quite what to say.

The Upper Domain was no ordinary place.

Hu Yan broke the silence, his brow furrowed in deep thought as he looked at An Mo. "Did you ask Xuan Long about this?"

An Mo chuckled softly, leaning back against the wooden table. "Xuan Long already knows everything. He said it completely depends on all of you."

"And what about Lanlan?" Han Jue asked, his deep voice filled with concern. "Does she know about the full scope of this?"

"No", An Mo shook his head seriously. "This is a special plan. We cannot tell her the details just yet."

Hu Yan stayed quiet for a moment, weighing the heavy risks.

Finally, he looked around at the other men and sighed. "If it’s like that... you all should go. I will stay behind in the Beast World to guard and protect our house here."

Han Jue nodded in agreement, his expressions calm and steady.

"I will also stay behind with Hu Yan. The house needs strong defenders. The two of you can go." He looked pointedly at Rong Ye and Shi Feng.

"Xuan Long is also going, right?"

An Mo nodded his head. "Yes, Xuan Long is definitely coming."

The moment those words were spoken, Rong Ye dramatically rolled his violet eyes so hard he nearly looked at his own brain. He threw his hands up in absolute disbelief, staring at Hu Yan and Han Jue as if they had lost their minds.

"Are you two seriously planning to stay behind here like two boring, lonely old men?!" Rong Ye scoffed loudly, a competitive, fiery smirk spreading across his face.

"If everyone else is going, then everyone is going! Who stays behind to guard an empty house when all our females and cubs are somewhere else?"

Shi Feng chuckled softly, nodding in agreement. "Rong Ye is right. We travel together as a family."

After a short, intense debate, the decision was finally made. No one was staying behind. The entire household...fathers, mother, and every single chaotic cub would embark on this grand journey to the Upper Domain together.
