The moment the dragon fox called out "father", Yinglong collapsed.

He burst into tears and wanted to reach out to touch Longhu's face, but he stopped halfway and finally asked carefully:

"These... these years, have you been well?"

Hu Li stood by with a blank expression on his face, thinking to himself, what kind of bullshit are these questions from my brother-in-law?

Don't you know how much suffering and sin your sister has endured since you left? Isn't it because you can't let go of your guilt towards your sister that you torture yourself and imprison yourself in this Demon Locking Tower?

Now you ask your daughter this kind of question again. Do you think you have no topic to talk about, so you force it?

Dragon Fox was stunned for a moment, then replied:

"Not bad."

"That's right, that's right..." Ying Long said incoherently, "Then have you solved the hidden danger of your bloodline?"

Seeing that Longhu had fallen silent, Hu Li quickly explained:

"It's solved! Dragon Fox not only went to Beiming Fanyang to solve the blood problem, but also subdued the entire Jiaolong clan!"

"Very good, very good." Ying Long was overjoyed, "She is worthy of being my daughter!"

"Given your bloodline, the clan should follow your lead. If anyone is dissatisfied, just tell me, I..."

"Brother-in-law, you are trapped here, what can you do?" Hu Li said jokingly, "Don't worry, Shi Yao and I will not ignore it."

Yinglong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when he heard Hu Li say:

"Moreover, Longhu later dealt with the four great princes, drove the Qilin clan out of the imperial capital, and ascended the throne to become the new emperor!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, completely shocking Yinglong, who was speechless for a long time.

The daughter solved the blood problem in her body, the daughter subdued the Jiaolong clan, the daughter dealt with the four princes, and the daughter took back the throne of the Jiaolong clan. Any one of these four things alone is enough to make Emperor Yinglong feel very pleased.

But it was a bit too much to handle all of them at once. After all, in Yinglong's memory, when he led his army to the human world and vowed to break the Demon Locking Tower and rescue his compatriots, this daughter was still in her mother's belly, and because of the blood conflict, it was not known whether she could be born normally!

When he was imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower, away from the sun, time seemed to have stood still.

Time flies, and a hundred thousand years pass in the blink of an eye. When he came to his senses, his daughter, who was still in his wife's belly, had not only grown up safely, but also regained all the glory that he had lost in his hands.

For the Dragon Emperor, all the suffering and torture of the past hundred thousand years seemed to be compensated and rewarded at this moment.

"Nothing." Seeing that his father seemed to want to praise him, Long Hu said in a low voice, "I just did a small job. I mainly relied on the efforts of my aunt, Shi Yao, and the Jiaolong clan, and Long Long's assistance."

"Yes." Emperor Yinglong said with a smile, "My daughter, there is no need to be too modest. It is common sense for those in high positions to be surrounded by stars. Your achievements are not inferior in the slightest because of this."

"I'm not being modest." Long Hu shook his head and continued, "It is precisely because I have worked my way up from the bottom that I can truly feel the hardships and difficulties. If I relied on my own strength alone, I would never have been able to survive until now."

"Father, I know you still feel guilty about abandoning mother and me. You feel so guilty and miserable that you want to torture yourself here. Although I don't have the power to forgive you on behalf of your mother, I want to say... at least I don't think you owe me anything, father."

Yinglong opened his mouth repeatedly, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself, and in the end he could not say anything.

"But father, I do feel the pain of being abandoned." Long Hu continued in a low voice, "Long Long... Father may not know who Long Long is. It was he who promised my mother on her deathbed that he would escort me to Beiming Fanyang and find a way to solve my bloodline problem."

"We have supported each other along the way and have developed feelings for each other... At least my daughter has already chosen him. Her heart will never change, just like the rising and setting of the sun and the setting of the moon.

"But after he fulfilled his promise, he took the fragment of the Heaven-Repairing Stone from his daughter and then disappeared completely."

Emperor Yinglong looked dazed, as if he had not yet accepted the fact that his daughter had suddenly grown up and was taken away. He only heard Dragon Fox asking for help in a crying voice:

"I want to ask my father for help to find Long Long for me. Since he is determined to find the Sky-Repairing Stone, he will definitely go looking for the other fragments. I heard from my mother that these fragments were brought back from the human world by my grandmother. However, there are many powerful enemies in the human world, and I don't know where to start..."

Emperor Yinglong finally came to his senses and said seriously:

"Since you are asking, how can I, as a father, not agree? Since Long Long dared to betray you, I will find him for you first, make him kneel before you and confess his sins, and then beat him to death..."

"Father." Long Hu shook her head and said, "I don't want you to kill Long Long. I just want you to keep an eye on him and don't abandon me again."

Emperor Yinglong was furious. It was like a man dying of thirst in the desert who finally found an oasis lake, but a big camel came over and siphoned all the water in the lake right in front of him... So he suppressed his anger and patiently comforted his daughter, saying:

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to kill him, then break his arms and legs, stuff him into a vase, and make him into a dragon puppet, and let him accompany my daughter day and night..."

"My daughter doesn't want father to refine him into a dragon puppet." Long Hu said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "My daughter just wants him to be intact and promise to stay by my side forever."

"Wouldn't it be too easy for him to leave him intact?" Emperor Yinglong thought, "Alright, then I'll extract his soul and torture him until his mind completely collapses and he will only obey your orders from now on..."

"Father!" Dragon Fox said angrily, "Don't hurt him! Why don't you just find him back?"

Emperor Yinglong was so angry at his daughter that his mind seemed to collapse completely. It took him a long while to regain consciousness. With tears streaming down his face, he said with a forced smile:

"I'll do whatever you say. I'll do whatever you say."

"So, brother-in-law has a way to escape from here?" Hu Li asked worriedly.

Last time I risked my life to save you, but you refused to come out. Now that the restrictions in the Demon Locking Tower have been patched, is it too late for you to regret?

"Of course." Emperor Yinglong said proudly, "If I hadn't been willing to stay here in the past, how could the Demon Locking Tower have trapped me?"

A quarter of an hour later, three demons disguised as Shushan monks sneaked out of the Demon Locking Tower and quickly flew away on their swords before the monk on duty discovered them.

"What's going on?" Hu Li couldn't understand at all. "How did it come out so easily?"

"The restrictions in the Demon Locking Tower are still fixed after all." Long Hu saw something. "Father has been in there for so long, he must have figured it out a long time ago."

"If my guess is correct, the one that is actually sealed in the restriction is actually just the dragon puppet created by my father, right?"

"Yes." Emperor Yinglong nodded and said, "Your aunt rescued me last time. Although I deliberately lost to Changmei and imprisoned myself in the Demon Locking Tower again, I took advantage of this opportunity to see through the last few joints of the Demon Locking Tower's restrictions."

"Since then, the restriction can no longer completely restrain me. I can use the dragon puppet to escape from it at any time."

"If that's the case." Hu Li couldn't help but ask, "Then what is my brother-in-law still doing in there?"

"What can I do after I come out?" Emperor Yinglong shook his head. "My wife and children have been separated, and my family has declined. There is no point for me to return to the Eastern Emperor Realm. As for this human world, it is even less worthy of my nostalgia. What difference does it make where I stay?"

He looked at Longhu lovingly and said:

"Fortunately, I still have a daughter like you... From now on, we two, father and daughter, will depend on each other in this world."

"It's not that I don't want to be close to my father." Dragon Fox said with a polite smile, "but I have already found the most important person in my life, and maybe we will have children in the future. 'Depending on each other' is really too pitiful!"

Emperor Yinglong felt as if struck by lightning, and his teeth seemed to be broken.

Dragon Fox continued to ask:

"If we have a child, father will love the child very much, right?"

"Well... of course." Emperor Yinglong said seriously.

Of course the children will love him, but the same doesn’t need to be said for the father, so it’s better to get rid of him.

Speaking of the bandit named "Longlong", Emperor Yinglong suddenly remembered something.

During his long years of imprisonment in the tower, no one came to disturb him most of the time. Occasionally, someone would come in and he would kill them.

But there was indeed a relatively unique human among them, who gained a certain degree of appreciation and trust from him and received the task of "rescuing his daughter"... Of course, Emperor Yinglong only did it as a side job at the time, as an excuse to let the other party go.

But now, after hearing what my daughter said, it was clear that the human race had really succeeded! Otherwise, with the vastness of the Eastern Emperor Realm, how could he find his wife and daughter? How could such a coincidence happen!

After explaining the situation to Hu Li, the other party also reacted quickly:

"Kunlun Qiu Changtian!"

"Are you sure?" Emperor Yinglong asked with a frown.

So that damn scum is a cultivator from Kunlun?

"Yes." Hu Li said seriously, "When I was using the alias Tu Shanjun, I met him in the Demon Locking Tower. I can confirm it."

"Very good." Emperor Yinglong said immediately, "With this clue, we can continue the investigation and find this... ahem, this beloved son-in-law and bring him back to my daughter."

"Then I'll leave it to you, father." Long Hu said softly.

The three of them returned to the East Emperor Temple on Yulong Mountain. Shi Yao, who received the news, excitedly came to pick them up in person.

Wow, we even rescued the late emperor. It seems that the day of our Jiaolong clan’s resurgence has been greatly advanced!

"I heard that you rescued a senior before?" Emperor Yinglong asked with a smile.

"Yes." Shi Yao said quickly, "That senior is trapped in the human world, we..."

"It's alright." Emperor Yinglong waved his hand, "I have heard of Senior Fenglong's name."

"The Jiaolong clan is still too weak at the moment, and we need all the strength we can get. Take me to see him."
