Han Jue brought Su Qinglan back to their current home, the one assigned by the city lord. They had not moved to their new stone house yet, so this place was still their shelter.

As soon as they entered, the three little cubs spotted their mother and ran over with short legs. They clutched tightly onto Su Qinglan’s legs, refusing to let go.

"Mommy! Mommy is back!"

"Mommy, hug!"

The cubs pressed their small faces against her, calling out sweetly. Han Jue stood beside them and snorted loudly.

"So heartless. I also came back, but you only crowd around your mom. You do not even look at your father," he complained.

The cubs looked up at him for a second, then turned away and clung even tighter to Su Qinglan, crying "Mommy, mommy" again.

Han Jue snorted once more. "So heartless, even at such a young age." Shaking his head, he walked toward the kitchen where Hu Yan was chopping meat into pieces. He sat down and started helping.

Su Qinglan felt her heart melt. She bent down and kissed each cub on their soft cheeks one by one.

She was in a very good mood today. Not only had she successfully helped a female give birth to a big, healthy polar bear cub, but the system had also given her a great new idea about farming.

She really wanted to take the tools and seeds and start working on the land right away. But she knew she needed patience. Such big plans would take time.

Shi Feng came over and saw her smiling face. "You look very happy today," she said.

Su Qinglan smiled back brightly. "Of course I am very happy. I just helped a female give birth successfully. You do not know, the cub was so chubby and huge! He refused to come out easily. The mother was in a very critical situation, but I managed it. The baby is really cute, all white and fluffy. I feel so relieved."

She chatted excitedly with them, describing the birth in detail.

The others listened carefully, nodding and praising her. Su Qinglan’s belly was now quite large, even bigger than before. While talking, she gently touched her stomach. A small worry appeared in her heart.

Would her own babies also be this big? Would it be dangerous for her during delivery? She quickly shook the thought away. No, she still had her system and her powers, everything would be fine.

Su Qinglan suddenly clapped her hands. "Let us have a good meal. I am really craving something delicious today."

She entered the kitchen and started cooking with the ingredients they had. Thankfully, she had found rice and many other things in the beast world.

Soon, with help from Han Jue and Hu Yan, they prepared a big spread of simple Chinese style dishes: fragrant rice, stir fried meat with vegetables, soup, and some steamed buns with the little flour they had left. The aroma filled the whole house.

Everyone gathered around the table and ate happily. The cubs also ate well, their little mouths full. After the satisfying meal, Su Qinglan felt tired but content. She was ready to go to bed.

She patted the cubs gently until all three fell asleep peacefully. Once the children were in deep sleep, she looked up curiously.

Han Jue had fumbled inside his wooden chest and pulled something out. Su Qinglan stared at him. "What are you doing?"

Han Jue smiled and dropped four shining green crystals onto the bed. The other men also looked over with understanding eyes. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Su Qinglan felt her scalp tingle. His expression looked like he was up to something. "Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked.

Han Jue distributed one crystal to each of them and said with a meaningful smile, "Lanlan has been pregnant for a long time now. The cubs have already taken shape inside. We should provide them with more nutrition. These energy crystals will help. The cubs need energy to grow strong, or they might drain too much from you."

He said this with an evil smile, his eyes clearly locked on her.

Su Qinglan immediately flushed red. She remembered what happened last time when they used these crystals.

The men all understood the hidden meaning behind his words. Their hot gazes pinned on her at once.

Su Qinglan chuckled wryly and waved her hands. "I am very fine. I do not think I need this. Look, the babies are always so well behaved. I even forget that I am pregnant sometimes." She patted her round belly gently.

"Really, I am fine. I can even jump up and down."

But the men’s intense stares did not move. Their eyes burned with desire, as if they were ready to devour her at any second. Su Qinglan’s face grew hotter.

Han Jue suddenly encircled her waist with his strong arm, pulling her close so she could not run away. He whispered in her ear, his breath warm, "Lanlan, you have teased me so much all day. Now it is my turn."

Before she could reply, Hu Yan doused the fire in the room with water.

The entire room fell into darkness, with only faint moonlight coming through the window. Su Qinglan felt herself being gently but firmly pinned onto the soft bed. She did not even realize when the three cubs had been moved to another safe spot.

"W wait..." she whispered, but her words were swallowed by the four powerful presences surrounding her.

Han Jue’s low chuckle sounded near her ear. "You were so bold when helping others today. Now let us take care of you properly." His hands moved with teasing slowness, making her body tremble.

The night became very long.

Han Jue clearly took his revenge for all the teasing she had given him during the day.

"Lanlan, you are so beautiful like this," one of them whispered.

Another soft laugh. "Do not hold back. Let us hear your voice."

Su Qinglan could only bite her lip, her face burning.

The combination of crystal energy and their passionate care made her body feel both relaxed and alive.

They were gentle because of her pregnancy, but the teasing was endless.
