On the other hand, back in the lower domain inside Dragon Beast City, the morning was quiet and peaceful.
Hu Yan was currently in the cubs' room, helping the little ones tidy up their messy blankets. Suddenly, a clear, steady knock echoed from the front door of the house.
"Who could it be in the early morning?" Hu Yan muttered under his breath, raising a thick eyebrow in confusion.
He patted his robes down and immediately walked toward the front door. Behind him, Xiao Yi and Xiao Er, the energetic tiger cubs, trailed closely after him.
Their little ears twitched with deep curiosity, eager to see who had come to visit so early.
The moment Hu Yan pulled open the heavy wooden door, he was greeted by a mix of familiar and unfamiliar faces standing on the snow-dusted porch.
Before he could even ask a question, two cheerful voices chimed out in unison: "Good morning, brother-in-law!"
