At the top of the towering tree, in the medicinal spring, the aloof and serene Queen, like a goddess of the moon palace, gently combed the fur of a kitten soaking in the spring with a small, exquisite wooden comb.
The kitten's nine tails hung loosely behind it as it leisurely paddled the water, its eyes half-closed and purring softly.
The medicinal power of the spring water continuously flowed into her body, and Ruoruo felt more comfortable than ever before.
At the same time, the spiritual energy within her body, which was originally somewhat weak, gradually became more solid.
Her eggshell supported her belly, allowing the cat's entire back to float on the water's surface, while her four paws dangled into the water, pawing wildly.
They quickly circled the medicinal spring, as if rowing a boat.
The queen followed behind her with a comb, carefully brushing her fur, but then noticed something was amiss.
It seems like... the color of the medicinal spring has become lighter where Ruoruo swam.
At first, it resembled a pool of emerald green, but now its color is as pale as a newly sprouted bud.
The kitten opened its mouth and yawned widely. As it closed its mouth, another tooth fell out due to the collision of its teeth.
Ruoruo was completely bewildered: "Meow?"
Nine-tailed cats lose their baby teeth at two years old. Ruoruo is now over five years old. She had already lost her baby teeth once when she was first brought back to China. Why did she lose them again?
Ruo Ruo cat stretched out her paw in fright and covered her mouth. She had already lost one tooth, and now that the tooth had fallen out, would it not grow back?
Meow meow meow! Help! I don't want to be a toothless cat.
The queen picked up Ruoruo's fallen tooth, looking somewhat anxious: "Ruoruo, be good, open your mouth, let me take a look."
Ruoruo the cat shook her head frantically.
No, missing teeth make cats ugly.
"Perhaps it's because of the medicinal spring. I need to see it before I can help you find a solution," the queen coaxed.
Mo Jinyan nodded in agreement: "Let us take a look. We're not outsiders, no one will know."
Ruoruo then hesitantly lowered her paw from her mouth, opened her mouth somewhat shyly, and closed her eyes shyly.
"Not one is missing." Mo Jinyan looked at the neat little white teeth with a puzzled expression, and even reached out to pinch the pointed little canine tooth.
"Meow?" Ruoruo tilted her head in confusion. "Didn't it fall off?"
The queen seemed to be thinking: "Open your mouth wider, let me take another look."
If Ruoruo knew that she didn't have any missing teeth, she would open her mouth willingly this time.
"ah……"
“Indeed, not a single one is missing.” The Queen said this, and suddenly put her hand into Ruoruo’s cat mouth.
The kitten stared wide-eyed in astonishment, its mouth agape, too afraid to retract, lest it bite the queen's hand.
After the woman touched a tooth, she applied a little force, and Ruoruo felt a pain in her gums and watched as another tooth fell out of her mouth.
The cat stared with its round eyes, tears welling up in its eyes: "Waaah..."
Just as the woman was putting away the tooth she had pulled out herself, she heard Ruoruo the cat crying loudly.
The woman's head buzzed, and her heart ached slightly. Why was she crying? Had she hurt her?
Ruoruo frantically shook her four legs, trying to push her eggshell away, transforming into human form, and buried her head in Mo Jinyan's arms: "Waaaaah, Third Brother... she's picking at the cat's teeth!"
Ruoruo Cat cried as she complained, her words mumbled, but Mo Jinyan still heard her clearly.
Don't let Ruoruo's usual mature demeanor fool you; she's still a pretty little girl at heart. Now, not only has she lost a tooth, but someone has actually pulled it out of her.
Even if we weren't short of supplies just now, we definitely are now!
She cried so hard that large tears fell onto the water, creating ripples.
"Ruo Ruo, I just wanted to check if these teeth were all loose and needed to be replaced," the Queen explained helplessly.
Ruoruo was so immersed in the sadness of becoming a toothless cat that she didn't hear a word the lady was saying. Instead, she cried and hiccuped.
"I... hiccup~ I never want to eat Mr. Shang again!"
Waaaaah, the Lord is so good to her usually, but at the crucial moment he secretly pulled out the cat's teeth.
As expected, Second Brother was right. There was no such thing as inexplicable kindness. The Queen must have some ulterior motive towards her, perhaps she just wanted to steal the cat's teeth.
After all, she is a nine-tailed cat, and her teeth can be used to refine weapons; they are extremely precious!
The Queen was devastated by Ruoruo's words and trembled: "Ruoruo, don't cry. I... I'll put it back for you, okay?"
"I'm going to pretend I'm not fat anymore!" Ruoruo said between sobs, and at the same time, another tooth fell out of her mouth.
Ruoruo's tears quickly welled up and she burst into tears again.
Mo Jinyan patted Ruoruo's back and comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry, it's growing back, it will grow stronger and more beautiful than before."
“That’s right, it will definitely grow. There are also spiritual medicines in the Realm of Immortality that help teeth grow. I’ll go get them for you…” The Queen hadn’t finished speaking.
Suddenly, a violent tremor came from beneath my feet.
The Queen's pupils contracted slightly. This was a tree that could reach the heavens; how could it possibly cause an earthquake?
She pressed down on the shore and also on the main body of the Tongtian Wood, and began to communicate with the spirit of the Tongtian Wood.
The Tongtianmu is not a real tree; it is essentially a divine artifact. However, it is enormous and stands still in one place. It is full of vitality and can gather spiritual power. Gradually, it extends many branches, resembling a tree.
Mo Jinyan held Ruoruo, wanting to fly away from the unstable ground.
But just as he began to gather his spiritual energy, before he could even fly upwards, he felt as if he were sinking into a swamp. The water around him grew thicker and thicker, enveloping him and pulling him downwards.
Mo Jinyan condensed the Phoenix True Fire in his hand into a blade, slashing at the water again and again, but even the blade got stuck.
The suction from the medicinal spring grew stronger and stronger. Mo Jinyan lifted Ruoruo high and shouted, "Your Majesty! Save Ruoruo first."
As soon as she finished speaking, a stream of medicinal spring water suddenly surged and rippled, directly touching Ruoruo's body.
Mo Jinyan suddenly felt Ruoruo in his hand become heavy, and was uncontrollably pulled back by the medicinal spring.
The Queen's expression was somewhat strange. She immersed her divine sense into the Tongtian Wood and found that the Tongtian Wood, which used to take an incense stick to burn for a single word, was now in an extremely excited state.
"Crying, feeling sad, protecting!"
It kept repeating these three words, and then every now and then it would say, "Master, hug me."
Is the Tongtian Wood about to recognize a master?
A talisman carrying messages that traveled thousands of miles suddenly flew over from the palace.
"Your Majesty! The Towering Tree is shaking; the royal city is in danger!"
