The soft, indigo twilight of The space slowly deepened into a magnificent, starlit evening, casting a brilliant, shimmering silver glow over the grand estate.

The high, ambient light of the floating crystals illuminated the expansive courtyard right behind Lin Wan’s mansion, where a large, polished wooden banquet table had been set up on the lush grass.

The rich, intoxicating aroma of a spectacular family feast completely dominated the air, featuring plates of perfectly roasted spiritual venison, steamed sweet mountain roots, and bowls of rich, honeyed milk pudding that had been cooling by the edge of the natural spring lake.

Lanying sat gracefully at the head of the long table, her striking, beautiful blue eyes shining with an absolute, profound tranquility as she watched the lively, chaotic spectacle unfolding right in front of her. For the first time in what felt like centuries, the female’s heart was completely filled with an unyielding, maternal joy.

On the grass beside the table, the three chubby silver leopard cubs were having the absolute time of their lives, their high-pitched, babbling voices echoing through the serene clearing as they fearlessly played with the two most terrifying, invincible supreme kings of the beast world.

"Daddy Zhan! Daddy Zhan! Look at me! I am a majestic flying beast king too!" Xiao Rui squealed happily, his chubby white body completely sprawled out across Long Zhan’s massive, scarred shoulder.

He was holding onto the dragon king’s thick dark hair like a pair of reins, his small silver-striped tail wagging like a frantic pendulum as Long Zhan down on his hands and knees, crawling through the grass to give the prince a ride.

"Haha! That’s right, little rascal! Hold on tight!" Long Zhan roared with a massive, boisterous laugh, his violent eyes flashing with pure, unadulterated pride as he purposefully bumped his massive shoulder to make the cub giggle. "A real warrior needs to know how to ride the heavens before he even learns how to use a sword! Hey, Xiao Chen, stop trying to chew on my leather vest, that’s premium armor from the northern ridges!"

On the other side of the courtyard, Xiao Jue and Xiao Chen were currently treating Qin Mo’s elegant silver robes like a premium playground slide.

The cold, aloof, and completely unyielding Snake King was currently hovering just a few inches off the grass, his face a flawless mask of serene, doting affection as he carefully controlled his long silver hair ribbons to tickle the cubs’ round bellies.

"Xiao Jue, do not climb too high up my sleeve, you are going to slip and tumble onto the grass," Qin Mo murmured smoothly, his pale hand reaching out with absolute precision to gently catch the rolling snowball before he could hit the ground.

"See that, brute? A true guardian interacts with the young with absolute elegance and grace, not by crawling through the dirt like a common beast of burden."

Long Zhan popped his massive head up, baring his sharp fangs as he glared at the mocking snake. "Who are you calling a beast of burden, you slippery worm? The boys like my thick muscles way better than your skinny, fragile silk arms! Right, Xiao Rui? Tell this snake that a real man gives the best rides!"

"Daddy Zhan is a big, funny horse!" Xiao Rui cheered loudly in response, instantly causing Long Zhan’s jaw to drop in comedic horror while Qin Mo let out a cold, deeply triumphant snort that echoed beautifully through the clearing.

Lin Wan walked out of the mansion’s rear doors, carrying a beautifully arranged tray of freshly squeezed spiritual fruit juice and a small bowl of her favorite milky popcorn that she had saved for the final celebration.

Her cool eyes swept over the chaotic, incredibly lively scene, and a soft, profoundly beautiful smile slowly spread across her face, completely melting the icy demeanor she now learned to hold against the outside world.

She walked over to the table, setting the tray down gently before sitting beside Lanying, her long skirts rustling softly against the grass. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"They have completely worn those two out today," Lin Wan murmured softly, her voice full of a deep, peaceful warmth as she watched Xiao Chen successfully trap Qin Mo’s long hair ribbon in his mouth, shaking his head like a proud little predator. "I never thought I would see the day where two supreme kings would willingly let themselves be used as climbing trees and teething toys by three tiny cubs."

Lanying chuckled beautifully, taking a slow, elegant sip of her spiritual tea as her stunning blue eyes crinkled with an incredibly deep, profound warmth. "That is because they do not see themselves as mere kings when they are inside this sanctuary, sweet Wanwan. They see themselves as fathers. They were there the night these beautiful children were born into this world, and they have watched you sacrifice everything to keep them safe from the terrifying restrictions of the Heavenly Dao. Their loyalty to you and these boys is no longer just a matter of contracts or political alliances—it is an unbreakable bond of blood and family."

Lanying slowly set her teacup down, her expression turning deeply solemn but incredibly bright as she reached across the polished wood to gently wrap her hands around Lin Wan’s. "Look at them, Wanwan. Their voices are loud and clear, their spiritual cores are expanding beautifully without any painful suppression, and their sea beast heritage is awakening in perfect harmony. They don’t need Wang anymore. You, Long Zhan, and that damned snake are more than enough to give them a glorious, invincible future. This old female gives you her absolute, eternal blessing."

Lin Wan’s heart swelled with a powerful, overwhelming emotion at Lanying’s profound words, her fingers tightening around the elder female’s hands as she looked back out toward the grass. "Thank you, Lanying. Your presence has been an absolute lifeline for us."

"Alright, you three little snowballs, that’s enough tearing up the grass! It’s time to eat!" Lin Wan called out, her clear voice carrying across the courtyard with absolute authority.

The effect was instantaneous.

The three chubby silver leopard cubs immediately abandoned their powerful step-fathers, letting out a synchronized chorus of excited baby yips as they frantically scrambled across the lawn, their tiny paws clawing at the wood as they climbed onto their designated seats around the table.

"Food! Food! Mother’s delicious food!" Xiao Chen babbled happily, his round belly slamming against the edge of the table as he eyed the sweet honeyed pudding with wide, glittering blue eyes.

Long Zhan and Qin Mo quickly climbed up from the grass, completely soaking wet from the spring mist and covered in bits of loose bamboo leaves, yet their expressions were filled with an intense, fiercely protective warmth as they sat down on either side of

Lin Wan. For the first time since they had entered the dangerous, politically treacherous environment of the Beast Capital, there was absolutely zero friction or petty bickering between the two supreme kings.

They worked together in perfect, synchronized harmony, with Qin Mo elegantly carving the tenderest cuts of spiritual venison for Lin Wan’s plate while Long Zhan carefully poured the hot, sweet milk into the cubs’ small wooden bowls.

As the beautiful family feast progressed under the brilliant starlight of The space, the entire courtyard was completely filled with the beautiful harmony of endless laughter, satisfied crunching, and the deep, contented purring of the three sleeping silver cubs who eventually dozed off right on the table blankets, their bellies completely full of pudding.

Qin Mo lifted his elegant silver cup, his cold eyes shining with a deep, unyielding devotion as he looked across the table at Lin Wan, then at Long Zhan, and finally at the sleeping princes. "A toast," the snake king murmured smoothly, his voice carrying the heavy weight of a sovereign’s eternal vow.

"To the absolute safety and glory of our family. Let the High Elders plot, let the Red Fox clan watch, and let the Heavenly Dao threaten from the outside world. The moment anyone tries to touch what belongs to us, we will tear the earth, the sky and the heavens down to the ground."

Long Zhan aggressively slammed his heavy wooden mug against Qin Mo’s cup, the sharp, ringing sound echoing like a declaration of war through the quiet night, his violet eyes flashing with a ruthless, protective dragon light. "Damn right, snake! We are their fathers now, and we will protect them with our absolute lives! To our family, Wanwan!"

Lin Wan raised her own cup, her cool eyes filled with a profound, unyielding strength as she looked at the incredible, powerful family unit that had formed around her inside the safe boundaries of this magical sanctuary. Outside these walls, the capital was a dangerous nest of vipers, but inside, they were entirely unbreakable. "To our family," she whispered softly, her heart completely at peace as the Chapter closed on a beautiful, perfect night of absolute love and unity.
