Elder Cang distracts the eight beast cubs with promises of an unlimited fruit buffet, leading them away from the palace just as a conflict is about to erupt. He pampers the cubs in his garden until they are full and clean. As he prepares to lead them back, four strangers suddenly appear in the garden.

The moment the cubs spotted the four men, their tiny ears twitched in instant recognition. Their round eyes lit up like bright stars!

"FATHER!" Xiao Yi and Xiao Er cheered, scrambling onto their paws.

"Papa!" the wolf twins squealed, bouncing across the lawn.

Abandoning Elder Cang without a second thought, the entire pack of round, fruit-stuffed cubs launched themselves forward, charging straight toward their respective fathers like a wildly affectionate wave of fluffy cannonballs!

The moment the four men stepped into the courtyard, they were instantly tackled by a barrage of round, fruit-stuffed, fluffy cannonballs!

"Father! Look at my belly, it’s so round!" Xiao Yi chirped, rubbing his bulging tiger tummy against Hu Yan’s boots as the stern man lifted his son effortlessly with a soft smile playing on his lips.

Nearby, the wolf twins scrambled up Han Jue’s tall frame like little furry squirrels, burying their wet noses into his neck with soft, coy whimpers.

Shi Feng gently scooped up the little lion cub and Ciao Ciao, who purred loudly and rubbed their soft cheekbones against his hands.

Rong Ye caught Xiao Er and Xiao San, who immediately leaned his little striped head against his chest with a heavy, dramatic sigh of pure contentment. Little Yue Yue was still hiding inside her brother’s robe.

"Did you all behave yourselves?" Shi Feng asked warmly, chuckling as he patted the lion cub’s chubby back.

"Yes! We were super good!" Xiao Yi proclaimed, pointing a tiny paw back toward Elder Cang.

"Grandpa Cang gave us so many sweet golden melons and juicy plums! He cleaned our paws and didn’t even scold us when we dropped the peaches!"

"Grandpa Cang is the best!" the little wolf girls chimed in sweet unison, fluttering their big, innocent eyes.

Hearing the cubs praise him so coyly to their fathers, Elder Cang’s heart swelled with absolute, unbearable warmth.

But as he looked at the four men...a sudden realization struck the old man like a bolt of lightning.

These four... are the respective fathers of these cubs!

After ensuring the cubs were happy, the fathers carried their little ones inside, with Elder Cang trailing closely behind, still trying to piece together this unbelievable puzzle.

They stepped into the grand hall, and Elder Cang’s breath hitched.

He had been bracing himself for a bloodbath. He had expected shattered jade pillars, scorched walls, and flying snake scales after Lord Xuan Long barged in on Young Master An Mo’s scandalous moment!

Instead... the scene inside was completely, utterly peaceful.

An Mo, Xuan Long, and Su Qinglan were sitting calmly around a low wooden table, gracefully sipping high-grade tea as if they were old friends enjoying a tranquil afternoon breeze!

Elder Cang’s left eye twitched violently. How on earth was this possible?!

Having served in the mansion for thousands of years, Elder Cang knew both Xuan Long and An Mo back when they were practically wet-behind-the-ears young masters!

Those two were notoriously territorial, arrogant, and extremely prideful beast lords who used to pick a life-or-death fight over every single tiny thing!

How could they possibly be sitting together in serene silence like two civilized gentlemen?!

As Elder Cang squinted his old eyes, he suddenly noticed something even more terrifying.

Lord Xuan Long was sitting exceptionally close to Su Qinglan’s left side, his aura gently wrapping around her like a protective shield.

Meanwhile, Young Master An Mo was practically glued to her right side, his eyes glowing with soft, possessive warmth as he reached out to refill her cup!

Elder Cang’s jaw dropped. He clutched his old heart with a trembling, horrified hand.

D-Don’t tell me... Don’t tell me both of these high-and-mighty, bloodthirsty beast lords have fallen in love with the EXACT SAME female?!

Elder Cang felt an overwhelming urge to frantically tear out his long white beard!

How in the name of the Beast God could two of the most territorial, aggressive male beastmen in the entire realm reach a point where they were willing to share the same female?!

It went completely against nature! It defied every law of the universe! The old man was completely, utterly clueless, his brain threatening to short-circuit from the sheer absurdity of it all.

Before Elder Cang could lose his mind entirely, the peaceful atmosphere shattered in the sweetest way possible.

"MOMMY!"

The moment the four fathers set the cubs down, the entire furry mob launched themselves straight into Su Qinglan’s open arms!

"Woah! Careful, my sweet babies!" Su Qinglan laughed happily, instantly buried under a mountain of soft ears, fluffy tails, and squishy cheeks. She kissed Xiao Yi’s striped forehead, rubbed the lion cub’s ears, and gathered the wolf twins into a warm, tight hug.

Ciao Ciao, the fox cub, rubbed his soft snout against her neck, purring so loudly his whole little body vibrated.

"Mommy, I like this place so much!" Ciao Ciao squeaked Playfully, his nine tails fanning out like a luxurious blanket over her lap. "The house is super big, and Grandpa Cang gave us the sweetest fruits in the whole world!"

"Yeah, Mommy!" Xiao San snuggled closer against her chest, looking up at her with big, sparkling eyes. "Can we stay here forever? It’s so fun!"

Su Qinglan’s heart melted into pure liquid gold. She hugged her big, chaotic family tight, shooting a soft, amused look at her husbands, while poor Elder Cang stood in the doorway, staring at the warm, impossibly loving scene with a completely shattered worldview!

Su Qinglan gently reached through the fluffy mountain of cubs, her fingers delicately picking up her chubby third son, Xiao San.

She held the little snake cub in her warm hands, bringing him up to her eye level. Looking down at his big, glittering eyes, she stroked his soft hairs with a playful, teasing smile.

"If we stay here forever..." Su Qinglan began gently, her voice full of affection, "Then what would happen to your grandfather and grandmother back in the Beast World? Wouldn’t they forget all about this cute, clever little Xiao San?"
