While this was happening, Lin Muyu was carefully examining both cubs. Suddenly, her eyes widened dramatically.
"Wait."
Grandma Lin looked over anxiously. "What?"
Lin Muyu looked down at the cubs, then again, then rubbed her eyes before looking a third time. "Oh Beast God," she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion.
Grandma Lin grew nervous. "What happened?"
Lin Muyu slowly raised her head, her eyes shining brightly. "They’re girls."
The room fell into absolute silence.
Su Qinglan, Hu Yan and Grandma Lin blinked at the same time. Even Han Jue, who had just woken from his second faint, blinked in confusion.
"What?"
Lin Muyu nodded excitedly. "Both snow wolf cubs are girls!"
"What?!"
This time even Hu Yan shouted in shock. Su Qinglan sat upright on the bed, stunned. Two daughters? Even she hadn’t expected this.
Han Jue stared blankly at the two tiny cubs. Girls. Both were girls. His daughters. His little daughters.
For several seconds, he simply stared, completely transfixed. Then his eyes turned red, growing watery with overwhelming emotion.
THUD!
He fainted for the third time.
Hu Yan looked down at his fallen friend, then at the two precious little wolf cubs, and back at Han Jue again. Finally, he covered his face with his hand in utter embarrassment.
"This is too embarrassing. I don’t know this wolf."
Hu Yan’s tiger ears twitched in irritation as their loud wails filled the room, their little paws waving desperately in search of their father’s scent.
"This fool..." he muttered, before striding forward and kicking Han Jue sharply in the leg. "If you’re not going to lick them, then I will."
The words had barely left his mouth when Han Jue sprang up with startling speed, his eyes wide with sudden awareness. "My cubs!"
In a flash of white light, he transformed into his massive snow wolf form. The enormous white wolf lowered himself carefully beside the bed, his usual calm demeanor completely shattered. His paws trembled, his breathing grew ragged, and even his ears quivered with overwhelming emotion.
Gently, he lowered his head toward the two tiny cubs. The moment they caught his familiar scent, their cries softened into quiet whimpers.
Han Jue’s icy blue eyes turned misty as he extended his tongue with painstaking care, licking them clean of the birth fluids. His movements were so delicate, it was as if he feared they might shatter beneath his touch.
One of the cubs let out a soft, tiny "Awoo..."
Han Jue froze, his heart seizing with pure wonder. He looked up at Su Qinglan, voice hoarse with disbelief. "Lan Lan... she made a sound."
Su Qinglan smiled softly. "Of course she did."
Lost in awe, Han Jue licked the cubs once more before gently nudging them closer to the warmth of his thick white fur.
The little ones instinctively crawled toward him...one burrowing into the soft fur of his chest, the other clambering onto his front paw.
The mighty wolf went completely still, not daring to move a single muscle, his eyes following their every tiny motion with breathless devotion.
"They’re so small..." he whispered, voice thick with emotion. One of his paws could easily cover both of them entirely. The realization that these fragile lives were his...two precious daughters nearly overwhelmed him again. He fought back the dizziness, refusing to faint while his daughters needed him.
The cubs nestled deeper into his warmth, seeking comfort and safety. Han Jue curled protectively around them, his massive body forming a gentle shield.


Yet despite everything he had done, he had never received anything in return. He had never had a family of his own, never held his own cubs, and never experienced the happiness that should have belonged to him. He had stayed alone until the very end.
