She placed Mo Jinyan on the soft couch, then sat obediently with her four legs together: "Meow~ Good morning, brothers. Third brother, don't be afraid, Ruoruo has saved you!"

Mo Jinyan quickly hid behind Mo Yunlan's sleeve, and after a moment cautiously peeked out: "Did you eat enough this morning? Did you finish the crane I gave you last time?"

Ruoruo Cat licked her lips naturally upon hearing about cranes: "I had crane soup this morning and I'm so full. I still have so many cranes."

Mo Jinyan was relieved. Surely he wouldn't come and eat him now that he was full?

"If you don't have enough cranes to eat, just tell your third brother." Mo Jinyan was determined to nip Yan Ruoruo's chance to bite him in the bud. "Your third brother will send you more."

Ruoruo's eyes crinkled with joy as she smiled: "Third Brother is so good to Ruoruo."

As he spoke, he leaned in and licked the fat little head.

Mo Jinyan trembled as he burrowed into Mo Yunlan's sleeve: "I...I...I need to catch up on some sleep first..."

He hates four-legged creatures the most!

Mo Yunlan then picked up Ruoruo by the scruff of her neck, pulled her into his arms, scratched her chin, and patted her head.

Mo Xuanshuang bared her teeth: "Mo Yunlan, let go of Ruoruo! Don't you dare bully her!"

"Where did I bully her? Look, I'm taking good care of her." Mo Yunlan leisurely stroked the cat. The kitten's fur was so soft and delicate, it felt wonderful to touch.

Ruoruo also started purring comfortably, relaxing into a cat-like state in his arms.

Seeing Ruoruo and Mo Yunlan getting along so well, Mo Xuanshuang angrily curled herself up in a corner.

Hmph! How could she possibly like someone like Mo Yunlan? This sister has terrible taste!

Meanwhile, Mo Jinyan, who was hiding in Mo Yunlan's sleeve, couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He lay there with his beady eyes staring blankly for a while, and I crawled out of the sleeve, feeling a little annoyed.

It's really strange. His primordial spirit was damaged when he was born, and he has been in poor health for a long time. He can only sleep for ten out of twelve hours a day.

Why am I having trouble sleeping tonight?

Mo Jinyan's little brain couldn't figure it out for a long time; it seemed like this wasn't the first time this had happened...

He was very energetic last time in Zixiao Cloud Palace, and he wasn't sleepy at all the time in Xixiang Palace the year before that.

Mo Jinyan's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Ruoruo Cat.

It seems that the common thread in all these instances is the presence of this cat.

It's just a coincidence... Even the Immortal Healer and my father couldn't help him. Even with the territory contract, he would still be somewhat absent-minded. How could such a small cat possibly help him stay awake?

The little white tiger, still angry in the corner, eventually fell asleep. Mo Yunlan could then comfortably pet Ruoruo the cat, who, enjoying the massage, also became drowsy.

Mo Jinyan stared at Ruoruo Cat, conflicted.

The atmosphere inside the palanquin suddenly became much more harmonious and warm.

The quiet atmosphere was broken by the girl's sharp voice, which had become somewhat shrill with anger.

"Mo Xuanshuang, get out here for me, fairy."

The half-asleep cat Ruoruo was startled and her hind legs twitched, causing her to jump up with a whoosh.

The warm, soft, and adorable kitten in Mo Yunlan's arms had disappeared, and she suddenly felt a little empty.

He kicked Mo Xuanshuang, who had just opened her eyes in a daze, and sent her flying.

Mo Xuan Shuang instantly bristled, opened her tiger's mouth, and tried to turn around to bite someone, but was grabbed by the tail tightly.

"Mo Xuanshuang! You promised that if I let my sister let you copy the answers during the quiz, you would bring Brother Yunlan to Qingyue Palace for me! You liar, I've been waiting there for three days, and Brother Yunlan still hasn't come!" The girl in the emerald green dress was furious.

Mo Xuanshuang flicked her tail away from the girl and said matter-of-factly, "I told him I wanted him to go to Qingyue Palace, but what can I do if he refuses? Mo Yunlan, come out, I'm here to see you!"

Seeing that the man and the tiger were about to fight, Mo Yunlan clicked his tongue.

He shot out a wind talisman, blowing away the people and tigers who were making a ruckus outside.

Then he left the palanquin and the dragon-drawn cranes behind, picked up Ruoruo the cat and carried Xiaofeijiu directly to the academy.

Ruoruo struggled to peek out, saying, "Wait, what about Fourth Brother?!"

"He dared to use me as a bargaining chip, so naturally he has to bear the consequences," Mo Yunlan said casually. "Being late is no big deal; it's just a matter of sweeping the spirit herb garden for a few days."

Tinglan watched Mo Yunlan leave with Ruoruo, biting her lower lip in frustration.

However, Mo Yunlan did not send Ruoruo to the children's class, but instead took her directly to his own Xuan-class.

He placed Ruoruo on the table and proudly showed off to his friends: "This is my fifth sister, Yan Ruoruo, one of only two nine-tailed cats in the world. You can look, but you're not allowed to touch her."
