Mo Yong said softly, "She's just injured and asleep."
When he found Yan Qingran in the fragments of the secret realm, she was almost completely annihilated.
Mo Yong went to great lengths, but only managed to leave a wisp of her soul within his body. He then sealed her in this Soul-Nourishing Jade and slowly nurtured her.
With red eyes, Yan Ruoruo leaned against the jade wall: "Mother, Ruoruo is wearing your favorite bow. Do you want to open your eyes and look at Ruoruo, and hug Ruoruo?"
Mo Yong felt incredibly guilty seeing his daughter like this: "Let Daddy hold Ruoruo first, and then Ruoruo can let Mommy hold her after Mommy has recovered from her injuries, okay?"
It's all his fault for not taking good care of the mother and daughter back then. This wait might last a hundred years, or a thousand years. He doesn't know when Yan Ruyu will wake up.
Yan Ruoruo sniffed: "Then Ruoruo will stay here with Mother."
Mo Yong coaxed, "Ruo Ruo will disturb Mother's sleep and recovery if she stays here. It's enough for her to come see Mother once every three days."
Yan Ruoruo is young and her soul is unstable. She is also Yan Qingran's biological daughter and has a similar aura. He was afraid that Yan Ruoruo's soul would be accidentally absorbed by the Soul-Nourishing Jade, which would harm Ruoruo.
"Alright then." Little Ruoruo rubbed her head against the jade wall. "Mother, Ruoruo will be good. Ruoruo won't disturb Mother's sleep and recovery."
Anyway, Mommy is here, and I won't leave Ruoruo again so that she can't find me.
Mo Yong didn't notice that the jade color of the Soul-Nourishing Jade had become slightly darker where Yan Ruoruo's head had brushed against it.
"Yu'er, I will take good care of Ruoruo, but I am not as meticulous as you and I am afraid that I will not be able to raise her well. If you are worried, please wake up soon and take care of Ruoruo yourself." Mo Yong's tone was somewhat sad.
Little Ruoruo pouted. "Daddy is really useless. He can't even take care of a little kitten like Ruoruo."
She puffed out her chest confidently and said to the Soul-Nourishing Jade, "Mother, don't worry, Ruoruo is very well-behaved and easy to take care of. Ruoruo will also take good care of Father. Mother, please focus on recovering from your injuries."
Mo Yong felt much more at ease after being comforted by Yan Ruoruo's words.
He scooped the kitten into his arms, took out a milk-flavored fruit, opened it, and stuffed the fruit into her arms.
"Father is hungry. If you want to take care of Father, go back now and have a meal with him."
He could hear the kitten's stomach rumble twice.
The kitten, who always valued food highly, hesitated for a moment before reaching out its paw to push the milk-flavored fruit to Mo Yong: "Daddy is hungry, Daddy eat first."
Mo Yong met the kitten's reluctant yet earnest gaze, and his heart instantly melted. His eyes softened even more: "This is for the kitten. Daddy can't eat it. Ruoruo can eat it herself."
"Alright then." Ruoruo quickly took back the milk fruit, hugged it and started sucking on it, pondering what to feed her father again.
Until I passed by the garden and saw a crane flying over my head.
The kitten stared openly at the crane's neck and licked its lips.
With such a long neck, it must taste delicious.
"Father, Ruoruo is inviting you to eat something delicious."
What do you want to eat?
Mo Yong looked Yan Ruoruo up and down a few times, but didn't see anything edible she had brought.
Yan Ruoruo wanted to give Mo Yong a surprise, so she said mysteriously, "Father will find out soon. Father, wait for Ruoruo here and don't leave."
"Okay." Mo Yong put a protective barrier around Yan Ruoruo's body, and then stood still in place to cooperate.
After Yan Ruoruo ran away, Mo Yong instructed, "Tinglan, go and see what the young prince is going to do."
"yes."
Yan Ruoruo ran to the garden, quickly climbed up a branch next to the berry bushes, and crouched down, hiding herself among the leaves.
She had just seen many long-necked birds coming over to eat the fruit. Yan Ruoruo licked her cat paw and showed off her nails.
Tinglan looked at Yan Ruoruo with confusion, wondering if she should ask the kitchen to serve the meal first.
The milk-flavored fruit was digested quickly. Later, when the kitten got tired of playing around, it would cry for food again when we got back, so she had to hurry up and make arrangements.
She didn't believe Yan Ruoruo could come up with anything delicious.
Yan Ruoruo hid in the tree for less than half an incense stick's time when a crane gracefully glided across the treetop and landed below to pick up a bright red berry.
The kitten stared intently at the crane's neck, seized its opportunity, and with a powerful push from its hind legs, leaped down from the tree.
She used the momentum to pounce on the crane, pressing her entire body against its neck, and bit down hard on its neck, tearing open the wound with her fingernails.
The crane, caught off guard and bitten in its vital spot, had little chance to struggle and lost its life after letting out a cry.
Yan Ruoruo happily picked up the crane by the neck and laboriously dragged it back.
Tinglan stared in astonishment as she watched the whole thing, her face instantly filled with disgust. She actually had to serve such a savage person, who was like a wild beast.
She returned to report ahead of schedule in a daze, but was very careful not to express her disgust, only describing the scene as somewhat bloody.
If the Divine Lord had disliked Yan Ruoruo earlier and stopped caring about her, he could have found a way to return to the Taiji Palace.
To everyone's surprise, Mo Yong felt very distressed: "It is my fault for not taking good care of her. Ruoruo's tail hasn't even grown out yet, she looks like a little kitten. She hasn't learned any magic, but she has been forced to learn to hunt to ensure her survival."
Tinglan, utterly incredulous at her failed smear campaign, could only grit her teeth and agree: "Yes, you're right."
On the other side, Mo Xuanshuang, who had just finished reflecting on her actions, passed by the garden and was both angry and heartbroken when she saw the crane in Yan Ruoruo's mouth and the blue ring on her leg.
What Yan Ruoruo is holding in her beak is clearly the crane from his palace!
"Stop right there, Your Highness!"
Hearing the sound, Yan Ruoruo turned around blankly and saw the little white tiger with its fur standing on end charging towards her.
