Unaware of the trouble she had caused, Yan Ruoruo was sprawled out on the spirit stone platform in the center of the hot spring, looking completely blissful.

Tinglan used a jade comb with slightly rounded teeth to massage and comb Yan Ruoruo's hair.

When Mo Yong walked in, he stopped the fairy servants from bowing and instead took the comb from Ting Lan's hand and carefully and clumsily combed Yan Ruoruo's hair.

The celestial servants were astonished and all lowered their heads, not daring to look any longer.

The other princes, let alone receiving the emperor's personal care and attention, were already considered favored if they could get a few words from him.

The fluffy kitten on the stone platform didn't seem to realize how much favor she had received.

giggled and dodged Mo Yong's hand, saying, "Father, your combing makes me so itchy! I don't want Father, I want to listen to Sister Lan!"

The surrounding celestial attendants were all taken aback by Yan Ruoruo's performance, and their bodies tensed up.

No matter how much His Majesty favors her, the young prince cannot take advantage of this favor and become arrogant. Even if she is uncomfortable, she must still agree with His Majesty's wishes.

Mo Yong pursed his thin lips in displeasure as he watched Ruoruo dodge, holding the struggling kitten firmly in his hand, while his cold gaze swept towards Tinglan on the shore.

Tinglan pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly, saying, "Your Highness, you can just call me Xiaoxian Tinglan. The deep affection between you two father and daughter is something I can't compare to."

Unable to resist being held down by Mo Yong, Yan Ruoruo couldn't help but pout.

"Listen to Lan's nonsense, I don't even have a father, so where would this father-daughter affection come from?"

Mo Yong's hand froze: "No father?"

Isn't he standing right in front of Ruoruo?

The kitten has an innocent look on its face.

"Yes, Mother said my Father died! So I didn't..."

"Bang!" Before the words were finished, the hot spring water exploded outwards from Yan Ruoruo and Mo Yong.

The jade comb that Yan Ruoruo loved most was crushed into powder and scattered into the pool.

The already terrified celestial servants turned pale and knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

Even Tinglan's voice was trembling: "The young prince is young and ignorant and has no one to teach him. He speaks without thinking. Your Majesty can just discipline him strictly. You must not be so angry."

Yan Ruoruo, who was in the eye of the storm, did not feel any danger at all, but was instead somewhat bewildered.

"Father, what's wrong with you? Why are you all kneeling?"

Upon hearing the word 'Father,' Mo Yong's eyes darkened: "Ruo Ruo, since you've already called me Father, why do you say you don't have a father?"

Yan Ruoruo tilted her kitten head and asked in confusion, "You call him Father? What's your relationship with my dad?"

She was young and had no one to teach her, so she didn't know the meaning of the title 'Father' and only thought it was Mo Yong's name.

After figuring out the misunderstanding, Mo Yong said with a mix of helplessness and sadness, "Father means father. Ruoruo, I am your father."

Yan Ruoruo's eyes widened: "You, you lied to the cat! Mother clearly said..."

“She said I died because I was going through a tribulation when your mother and I got married. She said my death was just my soul returning to its place. She didn’t know that and thought I was really dead.”

Mo Yong's soul returned to its place and he remained unconscious for a long time. After he woke up, he went to find Yan Ruyu and found out what happened afterward through an old friend.

At that time, Yan Ruyu was unaware that she was pregnant.

Upon witnessing Mo Yong's death, she was filled with grief and rage, sacrificing her own life to learn forbidden arts. She ventured alone into the wilderness to avenge him, slaughtering all the traitors in the city.

In the end, however, she suffered a severe blow to her vital energy and miscarried. Originally, Yan Ruyu could have abandoned Ruoruo and transformed her into her own immortal essence to replenish her spiritual power.

But how could Yan Ruyu bear to sacrifice Ruoruo to protect herself? She exhausted her cultivation and risked her life to save Ruoruo and ensure her safe delivery.

However, this also resulted in Yan Ruyu's cultivation level being insufficient, and she almost died in the secret realm.

"Really?" Yan Ruoruo's beautiful cat-like eyes were full of anticipation and timidity.

Her father treated her very well.

Save her life, heal her wounds, give her food, and groom her.

Ruoruo hadn't felt this kind of affection in a long time. She hoped that Mo Yong was telling the truth, as she had also longed for her father's presence.

When she was little, she saw Yin Chengren teaching Yin Dalang to practice calligraphy and wondered what her own father was like.

But every time she mentioned her father, her mother seemed unhappy, so she never mentioned him again.

It's not that Ruoruo doesn't want her father anymore, it's that Ruoruo doesn't want her mother to be unhappy.

"Father wouldn't lie to you."

A white light swept across Mo Yong's body, and in the blink of an eye, a giant nine-tailed cat appeared in the hot spring.

This nine-tailed cat is pure white, except for a patch of black fur between its eyebrows that forms a mysterious rune. It sits there looking very proud and domineering.

He carefully curled Yan Ruoruo up with his tail and lifted her in front of him: "Ruoruo, I really am your father."

Yan Ruoruo stared blankly at the majestic and domineering big cat. Suddenly, her cat eyes filled with tears. Then, she lowered her head and bit Mo Yong's tail hard.

"Why didn't you come back to find Ruoruo and Mother sooner?"

Every time Yin Chengren and his son forced her to have her blood cut, besides thinking about her mother, she would also think that if her father were here, her mother might not have disappeared and could have stayed with her forever.

It was Mo Yong who was bitten, but it was Yan Ruoruo who cried.

Tinglan assumed that Mo Yong was angry and that Yan Ruoruo had been injured by Mo Yong's protective spiritual power.

He was secretly annoyed that Yan Ruoruo was unruly and ill-mannered, and that she was arrogant because of the emperor's favor.

How dare they lose their temper with the emperor and even bite him!

She was about to pull Yan Ruoruo away to protect her when she saw that Mo Yong, who had been bitten, had not only withdrawn his protective spiritual power, but his other tail was also carefully supporting Ruoruo's feet so that she wouldn't fall.

The tail that once killed the Demon Lord beast was now held in the mouth of a kitten that had lost a canine tooth, frozen stiff and unable to move.
