Warden of the Beast World: Everyone is a Hakimi

"Bubble, what about your principles?" Momo teased.

"What principle? I'm just a baby." Bubble stared intently at the plate in Qi Xuan's hand. This was his first meal after weaning.

Qi Xuan handed him the plate, and Bubble took it and started eating. Mao Mao and Mian Mian exchanged a glance and laughed. Rong Rong whispered beside them, "Bubble is so easy to please." Bubble, his mouth full of milk cake, mumbled, "That's called knowing when to yield."

"Father Longlong, can we have milk cake?" Rongrong asked, tilting her head up.

"Of course there is. Father Qi Xuan loves you all so much." Qi Xuan's heart melted as Rongrong looked at him. "They're in the kitchen."

Rongrong and Mianmian immediately ran to the kitchen. Maomao followed behind, not running, but quickening her pace. Paopao had already finished one piece and reached for another. Qi Xuan looked at the little rascals and nodded in satisfaction.

After calming the cubs down, Qi Xuan slipped into You Lie's room and carried Chu Chu back to his own bedroom. "Little wolf cub, you're still too green to fight me."

Youlie came out of the kitchen and noticed that Chuchu's cradle was missing. He knew without a doubt who had done it. He walked to Qi Xuan's door and knocked. Qi Xuan was holding Chuchu and playing with her. Seeing him come in, he raised his chin and said, "Chuchu is willing to stay with me."

"Hanzhou said he doesn't want Chuchu to hear you nagging," Youlie said.

"I liked listening to it at first," Qi Xuan said matter-of-factly.

"What does she like to hear?" You Lie was speechless. Qi Xuan's ability to spout nonsense with a straight face was getting stronger and stronger.

"Chu Chu, do you like being with Father Qi Xuan?" Qi Xuan looked at Chu Chu and made a face to tease her. Chu Chu immediately smiled.

"See, she just likes being with me. If you make her laugh, you can move back," Qi Xuan said smugly.

Youlie sighed and walked up to Chuchu: "Chuchu, how about going back with your father, Youlie?"

Chu Chu actually shook her head. This little gesture made Qi Xuan extremely proud: "See? Little wolf cub, this War God's charm is still greater than yours."

"Are you okay with this?" Ghost Hunter asked. The dragon's morning sickness had lessened slightly in the past couple of days, but it still vomited.

"What haven't I, the God of War, experienced in these five hundred years of trials and tribulations? This is nothing but morning sickness." Qi Xuan finished speaking and vomited a few more times. "I can handle it."

Youlie looked at him and didn't insist any further. He left the cradle in Qi Xuan's room, only instructing him, "Call me if you feel unwell."

After Youlie left, Qi Xuan leaned back in his armchair, while Chu Chu played with a rattle in her cradle. He watched for a while, then couldn't hold it in any longer and vomited twice more. Chu Chu heard the noise and turned to look at him. Qi Xuan wiped his mouth and smiled at her, "It's alright, Father's fine."

Chu Chu let out a soft "ee-ee" and reached out her little hand to him. Qi Xuan reached out and let her grasp his fingers. He looked down at Chu Chu's little hand and suddenly felt that morning sickness wasn't so bad after all.

"Chu Chu, your father Qi Xuan has a baby as cute as you."

Chu Chu grabbed Qi Xuan's finger and shook it, making cooing noises. Qi Xuan looked down at his belly and said, "Jing Jing, did you hear me? When you come out, be as good as your older sister Chu Chu."

In the evening, Ye Tang returned and went to see Chu Chu first. Qi Xuan was dozing off in a soft chair, while Chu Chu was asleep in her cradle. She gently tucked the blanket around Qi Xuan. Qi Xuan groggily opened his eyes: "Xiao Tang."

"Okay. Go to sleep."

"What about Chu Chu?"

"It's right next to me."

"Oh." Qi Xuan turned over and went back to sleep. Ye Tang stood beside him for a while before leaving.

"Youlie, how come Chu Chu ended up with Qi Xuan?" Ye Tang asked.

"He stole it back. Chu Chu responded when she spoke to him."

Ye Tang chuckled. She looked down at Chu Chu in the cradle, then at You Lie: "Then you'll let him take care of him?" You Lie said, "He's suffering from morning sickness, Chu Chu can distract him." Ye Tang nodded and didn't say anything more.

"It seems that Chu Chu has grown up and will take after Qi Xuan." Ye Tang sighed.

"That's good," said Ghost Hunter.

Ye Tang glanced at him; You Lie's expression was calm, and he truly didn't see anything wrong with it. If Chu Chu had truly followed Qi Xuan, at least she wouldn't be like Han Zhou, keeping everything bottled up inside.

The next day, news came from the southern border. After Hanzhou and Chiheng arrived, they made contact with the local garrison and secretly investigated the movements of the Golden Leopard clan. Sure enough, several branches of the Golden Leopard clan had close ties with the Anaconda tribe and were secretly hoarding a batch of supplies of unknown origin. Hanzhou did not alert them, but simply ordered his men to keep an eye on them and wait for further evidence.

After reading the message, Ye Tang forwarded it to Luo Zhaohua and Youming. She didn't rush to take action, but instead instructed Hanzhou to continue the investigation.

Ye Tang replied to Han Zhou, telling them to be careful and not to expose themselves easily. Han Zhou quickly replied with an "okay".

Chi Heng replied with an extra message, saying that the fruits in the Southern Frontier were sweeter than those in the capital, and he would bring back a basketful for the children when he returned. Ye Tang looked at the message and shook her head helplessly.

She put down the communicator and went to the research and development center. Linlang was leading a team to debug the interstellar warship model. Seeing Yetang arrive, Linlang waved: "Little Palace Master, you've come at the right time. The scaled-down model is almost finished, would you like to take a look?"

As Ye Tang approached, the model was almost complete. Its black and gold hull, streamlined silhouette, and even the Chaos Spirit Stone at the bow were scaled-down replicas, faintly glowing blue. Lin Lang pressed a switch, and the runes on the model's surface lit up one by one, the ship slowly levitating into the air.

"The power system, rune array, and defensive formation can all be simulated," Linlang said, "but it can't actually fly."

Ye Tang circled the model and nodded.

"Once the warship is officially unveiled, we'll place it right in the center of the hall," Ye Tang said.

Linlang gave a "no problem" gesture. The two discussed some more exhibition details before Yetang left the research and development center. When she returned to the Beast God Temple, she found Mianmian and Paopao chasing each other in the courtyard. Rongrong sat on the porch, rocking Chuchu's cradle. Maomao was reading stories to them. The little ones were all busy with their own things, making quite a scene.

Ye Tang stood under the eaves for a while without going over to disturb her.

Ye Tang stood on the veranda for a while, then turned and went to her study. Two intelligence reports, one for Antarctica and the other for Southern Xinjiang, were spread out on the table. In Antarctica, Xuan Feng was still en route. In Southern Xinjiang, Han Zhou was still investigating. She sat down and reviewed the clues from both sides.

The withered bones were immortal bones, once sealed in Antarctica. Now, his strength has not recovered, and he dares not launch a direct attack, relying only on assassination and infiltration. The serpent and golden leopard branches of the Southern Frontier are likely his last remaining mobs. If all these mobs are eliminated, the withered bones will have no further options. She picked up her pen and wrote a few words on the paper: First, cut off its wings, then attack its body.

Ye Tang folded the note she had written and had it delivered to the military headquarters, giving one copy each to You Ming and Luo Zhaohua.

She then sent a message to Hanzhou, instructing him to keep as many people alive as possible when he contacted the Jinbao branch of the family, so that they could be traced back to the main branch. Hanzhou replied with an "okay".
