Chapter 700: The Long-Awaited Hatching
Then she pointed toward the kitchen. "You have already met my other husbands. Hu Yan and Han Jue are in the kitchen right now. And this is your brother-in-law Rong Ye, and this is your brother-in-law Shi Feng."She smoothed down Xiao San’s messy hair and added, "There is also your brother-in-law Xuan Long, who is the father of Xiao San and our little egg."
Hearing his father’s name, Xiao San’s eyes instantly sparkled with pride.
Then, Su Qinglan’s face suddenly flushed a deep pink.
She muttered in a small, slightly embarrassed voice, "There is also... An Mo. He is yet to officially become my husband... but he is my lover."
Lan Yue was completely stunned for a second before she squealed in delight.
"Sister, really?! I knew it! I knew Brother An Mo would definitely pursue you. You were the only one who always treated him with so much respect."
Su Qinglan blushed even harder and gave her a warning look. But Lan Yue kept teasing her, chiding her for taking so much time to accept him.
Su Qinglan rolled her eyes and countered, "What are you shouting for? I already have six beastmen, while you only have two."
Lan Yue instantly fell silent, scratching her head as her own face turned bright red.
"Sister... I just haven’t found anyone else yet."
Su Qinglan smiled and nudged her. "If you want to pursue anyone, just tell your eldest sister. I will definitely help you."
Lan Yue’s ears immediately perked up. "How are you going to help me, sister?" she asked with an incredible, eager expression.
Su Qinglan only winked at her playfully.
"Before you go back home today, come meet me inside my room for a minute, okay? I will tell you a secret."
Lan Yue nodded her head furiously. Hearing this, the three young triplets also chimed in eagerly, "We also want to hear, Elder Sister!"
But Su Qinglan only laughed and shook her head. "This is sister talk. You boys are not allowed to listen."
The young men slumped back, looking thoroughly embarrassed.
In truth, they really wanted to know the secret because they would soon come of age and wanted to find their own females too.
In the Beast World, if a beastman could find a female early, it proved he was truly worthy and capable, which would massively increase his reputation.
They were very eager, but alas, they were still only sixteen years old.
As they chatted, the breakfast table was finally fully set. Giant bowls of steaming food were brought out, and everyone immediately crowded around the table to start eating.
The three triplet brothers took their first bites and were completely stunned.
Now, they finally, deeply understood why Lan Yue and Mo Xiao Li had been so eager to come here in the morning.
Looking at the incredibly tasty food, they suddenly didn’t wish to go back home at all...they just wanted to stay here and freeload forever! They had never eaten anything this delicious in their entire lives.
At first, the triplets were truly too shy to eat properly, even though they were drooling on the side.
But when they looked over and saw five-year-old Mo Xiao Li stuffing food into his mouth like it was about to disappear, they immediately threw all their noble etiquette out the window.
They began stuffing the rich food into their mouths at full speed.
Even Lan Yue, who normally had a very small appetite, ate her favorite dishes with immense relish.
Her elder sister was never stingy; she always provided the absolute best food and always welcomed them to visit whenever they wanted.
Lan Yue wasn’t embarrassed at all. She knew her brothers-in-law always cooked extra quantities, so she ate with great gusto.
Beside the main table, all the little cubs were lined up in a neat, orderly row.
They were chewing on their breakfasts with messy, sauce-covered faces, their round eyes literally overflowing with joyful, happy expressions.
The house was filled with the warm sounds of loud chattering and chewing as everyone discussed the latest news and laughed together.
Su Qinglan was happily chatting along, asking her three new younger brothers about their lives, where they were currently staying, and how distant the Hawk Tribe’s main territory was from the city.
As they were right in the middle of talking, a sudden, sharp ’tuck’ sound echoed through the room.
The entire hall fell dead silent in an instant. Su Qinglan practically dropped her chopsticks on the table. She froze, her eyes immediately snapping over to meet Hu Yan’s gaze.
"Did... did you hear that?" she muttered, her breath catching in her throat.
Everyone’s eyes slowly turned and landed directly on the small incubator, which had been kept safely on a side table in the same line as the cubs’ eating row.
The people were completely stunned. Did they really just hear a cracking noise coming from inside it?
Before anyone could even question if they were imagining things, a second ’tuck’ sound rang out once again, louder this time.
And this time, everyone clearly saw the smooth, white egg vibrating noticeably inside the glass case.
Su Qinglan’s face instantly lit up with pure, overwhelming joy. "Is... is it going to hatch?!"
Hu Yan and Han Jue immediately dropped their bowls and crowded right beside the table.
"It absolutely seems so," Han Jue said, his voice laced with rare excitement. "She is finally going to hatch."
Su Qinglan completely forgot all about her breakfast. She scrambled out of her chair and rushed over to the incubator, her heart hammering against her ribs.
All of her beast husbands were just as excited, immediately swarming around the little incubator, their eyes glued to the white shell as they waited for the new baby to arrive.
Even the little cubs knew exactly what was happening.
They instantly licked their food bowls completely clean in two seconds flat before squeezing and wedging themselves right to the front of the crowd, their round eyes wide with immense wonder.
