Su Qinglan finally returned from the lower domain, and the moment she stepped back into their small house, the tense atmosphere that had been there after she left finally eased.
Hu Yan, Han Jue, and Shi Feng, who had been restless the entire time, all felt their hearts settle. But before they could even say much, the three little cubs had already rushed toward her.
They crowded around her immediately, clinging to her legs and clothes, refusing to leave even for a moment.
Their small hands held onto her tightly, as if afraid that if they let go, she would disappear again.
Su Qinglan looked down at them, her heart softening.
"I'm back," she said gently, stroking their heads one by one.
But the cubs did not relax. They stayed close to her, following her wherever she moved, their eyes always fixed on her. Even when they played, they did it within her sight, unwilling to go far.
Seeing this, Hu Yan and the others felt both helpless and relieved.
