The soft, ambient lighting of the modern living room cast a warm glow across the plush carpet where the three triplets, Xiao Chen, Xiao Rui, and Xiao Jue, were currently sprawled out in various states of chaotic, childish play.
Their upper halves were still perfectly round, ultra-fluffy white snowballs with twitching leopard ears, but their long, glowing blue merman tails were swishing happily against the fabric of the rug, sending tiny, harmless sparks of static spiritual energy into the air.
At their feet lay a pile of colorful modern plastic squeaky toys that Lin Wan had pulled from the system inventory earlier that morning.
Xiao Chen was currently biting down hard on a bright yellow rubber duck, his sharp little baby fangs puncturing the plastic just enough to make it emit a loud, frantic *squeak-squeak* with every tilt of his head.
