Qinghan quickly entered the palace, the residence of the royal family of the underworld, and immediately saw his parents.

"Little Lord."

The Lion King bowed to him.

"Uncle Lion King, what's wrong with you today...?"

He noticed that the three of them looked unwell, as if something major had happened.

"Qinghan, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear?" Hades' refined voice rang out.

His gentle nature doesn't mean he's not strict. He's very strict with his son, so that his son can carry on the wolf clan's legacy and prevent other parallel universes from looking down on them.

The Netherworld's declining status over the years has led other races to forget its power and perceive its inhabitants as weak and easily bullied. In reality, however, the Wolf Clan, who control the Xuanming Black Hole, is far from weak.

They are content to live peacefully in the underworld.

The current rulers are less than 100,000 years old and have not yet fully mastered the power of the Xuanming Black Hole.

Conversely, when the Snow Queen of the White Tiger Clan reached the age of 100,000, she comprehended the power of the Sacred Radiance of White Snow, thereby mastering the highest secret of the White Tiger Clan and raising the combat power of the White Tiger Clan by several levels.

"I want to hear good news." Qinghan said while looking at his mother's face. He felt that his mother was acting very strangely today.

If something good were to happen, the mother wouldn't be frowning and looking worried; something serious must have happened.

"The good news is that you will have a younger sister or brother," Hades said slowly. "In another month, you will be able to meet him."

"The bad news is that the Phoenix Clan is going to war with the Wolf Clan."

Qinghan's expression changed slightly, and she asked in surprise, "Isn't the Phoenix Clan the mother's race? Why are they fighting with our Wolf Clan?"

His mother, Phoenix, was a princess of the Phoenix Clan. Logically, the Wolf Clan and the Phoenix Clan are related by marriage, so why did they suddenly start fighting?

“Because of me,” the phoenix said loudly.

"Back then, I was deeply in love with your father. I ignored his advice and eloped with him, giving up my status as a princess."

“Now they have found me and are going to attack the wolf clan, because it is my father’s will.”

Phoenix sighed; she did not want both races to suffer annihilation.

Qinghan remained silent, pondering a solution.

“I will not let you go,” Hades suddenly said. “No matter how difficult the war is, we cannot give up. If he wants to fight, let him. My wolf clan has never been afraid of its opponents.”

"But is this what we should do?" Phoenix retorted. "Is it something we want to see, for our own selfish reasons, cause your people and my people to fight each other?"

“I am the princess of the Phoenix Clan, and I have a duty to protect my people. Similarly, you are the king of the Wolf Clan, and you also have a duty to protect them.”

Even when in danger, Phoenix still analyzes the problem rationally.

"Would you just stand by and watch your people fight each other?"

"Madam, that's not what Hades meant..."

The Lion King began to persuade the Phoenix, "The King of the Underworld is too worried about his wife."

"Mother, has the war already begun?"

Qinghan suddenly asked.

"They are already in the seventh parallel universe. If the Snow Queen can travel, she will arrive in the fifth parallel universe within a week." Phoenix actually didn't want her child to get involved in this war.

It's too dangerous; it's not something a child like him can handle.

"Please leave this matter to my father and me to handle," Qinghan said seriously. "It would be bad for Mother to get involved; it would only anger them."

He stated the facts. The Phoenix Clan naturally did not want to see their princess on the enemy's side.

In order to keep them calm, Phoenix cannot show herself.

The Phoenix Clan is coming on strong, and they won't give up easily without giving an explanation. This is a major headache for them.

"Can you really resolve this matter without my involvement?"

Phoenix spoke uncertainly, her eyes filled with doubt. She didn't believe a child could handle the relationship between the two clans. In fact, the Phoenix Clan and the Wolf Clan were fundamentally at odds.

The Phoenix princess married the ruler of the Wolf Clan, the master of the fifth parallel universe—Pluto.

In everyone's eyes, the underworld was desolate and bleak, and was not worthy of the noble Phoenix princess.

She married Hades, which was actually a marriage downgrade for her.

"I'm not a child anymore."

"I have the ability and confidence to handle this matter well."

Qinghan spoke seriously, knowing why his mother didn't believe him. If this wasn't handled properly, it would exacerbate the hatred between the two races and intensify their conflict.

“If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll go. I am the princess of the Phoenix Clan. I have no reason to watch my people fight with your people outside while I stay here…” The phoenix’s expression grew increasingly somber. She loved her race very much.

Even if she married Hades and bore him children, it wouldn't change her birth.

"Mother, I'll say it again: your going out will only complicate things further."

“Phoenix, Qinghan is right,” Hades also said, “and you are pregnant, so I’m very worried about your health.”

Under the influence of such emotions, the child is not actually doing well either. A mother's emotions are actually connected to those of her child.

Seeing her hesitant expression, Qinghan knew that she had a good chance of persuading them.

"Mother, let me try, whether it's true or not. Maybe it will work in no time."

Qinghan understood his mother's personality well; as long as something was on point, she would definitely agree. She wasn't a rigid mother; on the contrary, she was very tolerant of her children's characteristics. In his opinion, Phoenix and Hades were the perfect match.

They cleverly compensated for each other's shortcomings, allowing each of them to perform at their best, which is one of the most prominent characteristics of love.

Because love is truly magical, it brings together two completely different people and causes them to fall in love.

"Then go ahead."

Phoenix sighed, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

She instinctively reached out to touch her stomach, only to find herself pale and being helped up by Hades.

Hades looked at the phoenix with a worried expression, "Phoenix, it's a child..."

"I'm in so much pain, I'm going into labor..."

The strong smell of blood made everyone present change their expressions. Hades immediately led the phoenix towards the delivery room.

"I'll leave the rest to you."

Hades had no time to worry about anything else; his mind was completely occupied by the phoenix. The war between the werewolf and phoenix clans was utterly forgotten.

He handed over the decision-making power to Qinghan, so that he could wholeheartedly take care of Phoenix without having to worry about other things.

"Yes, Father."

Qinghan immediately agreed, feeling that there was no problem with it.

That's how family is; whoever is free comes over.

After Hades and Phoenix left, Lion King followed Qinghan and asked, "Young Master, how should we handle this matter?"

"Lion King, do you think this matter should be decided by war or not?" Qinghan suddenly asked the Lion King.

“If we fight, Mother will be unhappy; after all, she is the princess of the Phoenix Clan. If we don’t fight, it will be our wolf clan that suffers.”

As the young lord of the wolf clan, he had his hesitations. The phoenix clan was his mother's maternal clan; they were related by marriage.

"The decision rests with the young master." The Lion King was also quite troubled.

The Phoenix Clan's aggressive arrival was, in Qinghan's eyes, a minor matter that she could control.

He was considering his mother's feelings. Although the Phoenix Clan was his mother's family, Qinghan was still quite unfamiliar with it.

"Uncle Lion King, treat the Phoenix Clan the way you would treat an enemy."

Qinghan knew he had to make sacrifices. He was the young master of the wolf clan and had to consider the clan's well-being.

"But before that, we still need to go out and meet them." If the Phoenix Clan starts fighting with them without saying a word, then he will no longer show mercy.

While kinship ties were indeed a concern for him, they were not one of the reasons for their impunity.

In the realm of the underworld, the Phoenix Clan led their troops.

Accompanied by the Lion King, Qinghan met the Phoenix Clan's army, and standing before the army was the Phoenix Clan's general—Xiang Yu.

Qinghan glanced at the Lion King, then walked to the edge of the cliff and met Xiang Yu's gaze.

"So you are Hades?" Xiang Yu removed his helmet, revealing his ordinary appearance.

“I am Qinghan, son of Hades.” He said coldly, “Speak your mind. When you’re on my wolf clan’s territory, you should follow my wolf clan’s rules.”

Qinghan disliked this person from the first glance, and he wished he could get rid of him. Was this the oppressive feeling brought by the Phoenix Clan army?

Xiang Yu's face was extremely ugly. "So you are the illegitimate child born of the Phoenix and the King of the Underworld."

"The phoenix is ​​a traitor to our phoenix clan!"

Xiang Yu roared, glaring angrily at Qing Han. This child, born of a phoenix and the King of the Underworld, was an illegitimate offspring and should not exist in the world.

"If you can't speak properly, then shut up. Is this the kind of manners the Phoenix Clan emphasizes?" Qinghan suddenly looked at him with displeasure, her gaze filled with murderous intent. "Respecting others before speaking is an essential quality."

"It's a pity that the Phoenix Clan doesn't possess this ability."

Qinghan mocked them, showing he wasn't afraid of the Phoenix Clan. If they dared to threaten the Wolf Clan with an army, he wouldn't mind a war between the Wolf Clan and the Phoenix Clan.

He was inherently cold and ruthless, so naturally he wouldn't let strangers harm his family.

"You little brat."

Xiang Yu's anger grew even stronger; he was infuriated by this kid.

"Didn't those words come out of your mouth first? You call yourself a kid? I don't think you're any better than an adult."

In a verbal battle, Qinghan didn't think he would lose to this guy.

What kind of quality do people have who keep calling others bastards?

His disdain was written all over his face, making Xiang Yu's expression turn ugly.

"No wonder he's a bastard," Xiang Yu said through gritted teeth. "Just look at that silver tongue."
