The kitchen erupted into absolute chaos and uncontrollable laughter as the corn seeds started popping rapidly against the heavy stone lid, the sound roaring like a joyful thunderstorm.

Lanying chuckled beautifully, her stunning blue eyes crinkling with deep warmth as she watched the massive dragon king look completely bewildered by a pot of flying corn.

The three cubs were absolutely ecstatic, jumping up and down on the table as they cheered at the top of their lungs, completely abandoning their juice spoons. "Wow! The yellow stones are turning into big, white fluffy clouds! Mother, the pot is magic! The pot is magic!"

Lin Wan quickly moved forward, sliding a large block of rich spiritual milk into the pot just as the popping began to slow down, ensuring the sweet, creamy liquid coated the hot, fluffy kernels perfectly.

"Alright, it’s done. I’ve added milk to this main batch because I prefer my popcorn to be incredibly milky and sweet." She lifted the lid, revealing a massive mountain of snow white, perfectly puffed popcorn that smelled absolutely heavenly.

The three little cuties instantly sniffed the air, their tiny noses twitching as they looked at the milky, sweet mountain of food with wide, glittering blue eyes. "We want the milky one! We want to eat exactly what Mother eats!" Xiao Chen shouted eagerly, his chubby body scrambling forward until his front paws were resting right against Lin Wan’s arm. "Mother’s taste is the best taste in the whole wide world! We don’t want anything else!"

Lin Wan smiled warmly, quickly scooping out a separate, large wooden bowl of plain, unmilky popcorn from the very bottom for the rest of the adults before sitting down at the kitchen island. "Lanying, Qin Mo, Long Zhan, this bowl is for the three of you since I know you prefer the classic, savory flavor. Come on, sit down everyone, the fruit juice is perfectly mixed and the popcorn is hot."

As the chaotic family finally settled around the table, sharing the sweet, crunchy treats and the fresh juice inside the peaceful sanctuary of The space, the sound of happy crunching and childish babble completely filled the warm mansion.

The aftermath of the grand popcorn and fruit juice cooking session was written clearly all over the kitchen and, more noticeably, all over the fur of the cubs.

Lin Wan stood in the center of the living room, her arms crossed over her chest as she looked down at her three sons, who were currently sticky from head to tail with sweet spiritual sugar and purple fruit juice stains.

Xiao Rui had a massive patch of hardened syrup stuck right between his fluffy ears, while Xiao Chen’s round belly was completely stained a light shade of lavender from his clumsy juice stirring victory.

"Look at the three of you... you look less like noble silver leopard princes and more like sticky, purple forest monsters," Lin Wan said, her usually cold voice carrying a heavy tone of exhausted, fond amusement as she gestured toward the back doors of the mansion.

"That settles it. Today is officially a mandatory family laundry and bath day inside The space. Absolutely everyone is going to get cleaned up, and we are going to wash every single blanket and sheet in this house to get rid of this sticky sugar scent."

The triplets instantly let out a synchronized, incredibly dramatic chorus of loud baby groans, their fluffy ears flattening against their round heads as they tried to look as miserable as possible.

"But Mother! A fierce warrior doesn’t need to take baths every single day!" Xiao Rui babbled cutely, his small voice full of pure, protest as he tried to hide his sticky paws behind his back.

"The water is going to wash away all my powerful hunting aura! Daddy Zhan said that a real warrior should smell like the wild forest, not like sweet pink flowers!"

Long Zhan, who was currently carrying a massive wooden tub filled with heavy bed linens out into the sun-drenched courtyard, instantly froze in his tracks, feeling a sudden, terrifyingly cold gaze locking onto the back of his neck.

He turned around slowly, a massive, sweating grin on his floured face as he looked at Lin Wan’s narrow, freezing eyes. "Uh... wait a minute, Wanwan! I never said that! I swear on my dragon core, I always tell the boys to listen to their beautiful and kind mother! Don’t look at me like that, snake, help me out here!"

Qin Mo glided past the trembling dragon king with an air of absolute, unmatched elegance, a large basket of handmade herbal soap resting effortlessly in his pale hands.

He let out a cold, deeply mocking snort as his silver hair caught the bright sunlight inside the space. "A brainless brute only knows how to teach the children filthy, uncultured habits. Do not worry, my beautiful Wanwan, I have already prepared the warm, soothing spring water in the bath pavilion. I will personally ensure these little rascals are thoroughly scrubbed and perfumed until they are fit to stand by your side."

"Hey! Who are you calling a filthy brute, you slippery worm?!" Long Zhan roared, aggressively slamming the heavy wooden tub down onto a stone bench, causing the soapy water inside to splash all over his leather vest.

He angrily rolled up his sleeves, his violet eyes flashing with a fierce, competitive light as he glared at the snake king. "I can wash blankets ten times faster than your skinny arms can! Just watch me, Wanwan! I’m going to wring these heavy sheets out so hard they’ll be completely dry before the snake even finishes wetting his robes!"

Lin Wan didn’t even bother answering them, merely carrying the sticky, complaining bundle of Xiao Chen under her arm as she led the procession toward the outdoor courtyard, leaving the two supreme kings to turn a simple chore into an all-out war of competitive labor.

Within minutes, the peaceful courtyard behind the mansion became a hilarious battleground of flying soap suds, splashing water, and booming dragon roars.

Long Zhan was aggressively grabbing massive, soaking wet bed linens, using his monstrous brute strength to twist them into tight ropes, sending torrents of water crashing onto the grass while bragging about his superior laundry technique.

Meanwhile, Qin Mo sat gracefully by a large wooden basin filled with steaming, fragrant herbal water, dealing with a far more chaotic and wiggly challenge.

The three chubby silver leopard cubs were frantically splashing, diving, and trying to bite the bubbles, their high-pitched baby voices filling the air with endless noise as they continuously soaked Qin Mo’s silver silk robes.

"Xiao Rui, stay still and stop trying to swallow the herbal soap,"

Qin Mo murmured patiently, though a small, competitive tick was forming in his handsome jaw as he gently used a soft cloth to scrub the purple juice stains off the cub’s round belly. "You are getting water all over my face, you little rascal."

"Haha! Take that!" Xiao Chen squealed happily, his tiny silver tail slamming violently against the water’s surface, creating a beautiful, massive spray that drenched Qin Mo’s long silver hair completely.

The three brothers let out a barrage of endless giggles, thoroughly enjoying the rare sight of the cold, unyielding sovereign look so utterly defeated by three tiny babies.

After an hour of intense scrubbing, the triplets were finally lifted out of the basin, their fur completely free of stains and smelling beautifully of sweet mountain herbs.

However, a brand new problem instantly arose: the moment their paws touched the dry grass, the three clean snowballs refused to stay still to dry off, frantically running around the courtyard and threatening to roll right back into the dirt and mud Long Zhan had created from his aggressive sheet wringing.

"Stop running around right now," Lin Wan commanded, her brow furrowing as she tried to catch the slippery, wet Xiao Jue, who easily dodged her hands with a playful yip. "If you roll in that mud, you are going right back into the hot water."

"Wanwan, step back and let a real warrior handle the final stage!" Long Zhan shouted with a massive, booming grin, suddenly stepping into the center of the courtyard.

Without a single warning, the giant dragon king let out a low rumble, instantly activating his partial beast transformation as two massive, magnificent blood red wings erupted from his broad back, casting a huge, impressive shadow over the grass.

He proudly puffed out his chest, looking down at the wide-eyed, completely stunned cubs with a triumphant laugh. "Watch this, boys! This is what real dragon power is used for!"

Long Zhan began to gently and rhythmically flap his massive, powerful dragon wings, creating a perfectly controlled, wonderfully warm, and incredibly soothing gust of spiritual wind that swept across the entire courtyard.

The warm dragon breeze was incredibly comfortable, carrying a gentle heat that instantly wrapped around the three wet cubs like a giant, invisible blanket.

The triplets completely froze in their tracks, their large blue eyes widening in absolute awe as the warm wind rustled through their coats, drying the moisture in a matter of seconds.

However, because Long Zhan’s dragon wind was so heavily infused with pure spiritual energy and static, the final result was absolutely spectacular and hilariously absurd.

Within less than a minute, the three chubby silver leopard cubs were completely, 100% bone dry but their soft snow white fur had blown out in every single direction due to the heavy static electricity.
