The merman could not swim any further after reaching the shoal. Su Yu jumped down from the wooden plank and waded through the water to reach the shore. He hugged the golden cat and kissed its furry face.
The Emperor twisted his body and gave him a slap. Stupid slave, how dare you disrespect me in front of so many people. Really …
With that thought, the golden cat jumped to the ground and transformed back into his human form. He glanced at Su Yu, who was soaking wet and staring at him without blinking. The Emperor frowned slightly. This stupid slave was too timid. They had only been apart for a few hours and he was already so scared. Sigh, it was really troublesome to have such a stupid slave who loved him so much.
He raised his hand and took off his golden coat and draped it over Su Yu. The Emperor looked at Su Yu, who was still in a daze. He scoffed and pulled him into his arms. "I know you want me to hug you. Since you were frightened just now, I'll hug you for a while."
Su Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he listened to the Emperor's scolding. He slowly reached out and hugged the soft waist. Perhaps because the weather was cold, Mao Mao had two layers of clothes. He wore a golden velvet robe on the outside and a white wide-sleeved shirt on the inside. The thin fabric gave off his body warmth. He buried his face in Mao Mao's warm chest and took a deep breath. The warm smell of sunlight was the most important link between him and this world.
Wang Gonggong supported the National Tutor and slowly walked to the shore. Prince Lu dragged the wooden plank up and tied it to a small tree.
Prince Jing and Prince Ling stopped fighting when they saw them and transformed back into their human forms.
"Imperial Uncle, did you see the clockwork mouse?" Prince Jing scurried over to ask the National Tutor.
The National Tutor ignored him and carefully looked around. "How did you get here?"
Prince Ling scratched his head. "We were sleeping when we heard a loud noise and then a golden light. When we opened our eyes, we were already on the beach."
Prince Jing bent down to pick up the little furball on the ground and jumped to the Emperor's side. He wanted to ask Su Yu about the rats, but he saw the two of them hugging each other intimately. He quickly raised his hand to cover his son's eyes.
Su Yu, whose back was facing Prince Jing, couldn't see it, but the Emperor could see the expression on Prince Jing's face clearly. He smiled at him proudly.
Prince Jing curled his lips. How foolish of a ruler to bring his beloved concubine out to sea to save his Imperial Father!
"Do you know this island?" the National Tutor asked the merman who had dried his tail and transformed it into legs.
Hai Zhu looked around and her face suddenly changed. "This place …" Not far from where they were standing, there was a messy reef, a few of which were very tall. On top of the reef, two large golden cats were eyeing her covetously. When they met her gaze, they quickly turned their backs.
Hearing the merman's cry, everyone followed the merman's gaze and saw two golden furballs with their backs facing them. There were no impurities in their golden fur, except for one ear that was white. One was white on the left ear and the other was white on the right.
The two large cats huddled together and whispered. Their white ears overlapped and blended together with the blue sky and white clouds. From afar, they looked like one big fat cat.
"Why is Twenty-One here?"
"It's over, it's over. Let's go back first and let Fifth Brother deal with them."
"Hmph, what's the use of Fifth Brother? Call Ninth Brother over."
"Yes, yes, call Ninth Brother. Let's go!"
"Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother!" His Royal Highness King Ling called out to stop the two large cats before they could escape.
The two large cats that had just raised their paws suddenly stiffened. They slowly turned their heads and saw two identical cat faces.
"The one with the white left ear is Imperial Father, and the one with the white right ear is Seventh Uncle," His Majesty looked at the two furry figures expressionlessly and said to Su Yu lightly.
Su Yu looked at the large golden cat with the white left ear and swallowed his saliva. This was … The Retired Emperor?
The Retired Emperor and His Majesty looked at each other quietly for a moment. Suddenly, the Retired Emperor jumped off the reef and transformed into his human form in the air before landing steadily on the ground. He was dressed in a golden robe and his handsome face was 80% similar to His Majesty's. However, he looked more mature and experienced. His aura was shocking and imposing.
"Greetings to The Retired Emperor and Your Highness Prince Hao." Wang Gonggong knelt on the ground excitedly.
Prince Lu was stunned for a moment before he followed suit and knelt down to pay his respects.
Seventh Uncle, Prince Hao, also jumped down and waved his hand with a smile. His appearance was no different from the Retired Emperor's, but his somewhat roguish smile was obviously different from the Retired Emperor's.
"Hmph!" The Retired Emperor stood with his hands clasped behind his back and glanced at the people slowly gathering in front of him. Prince Ling was smiling, Prince Jing was moving around with a furball on his head, and His Majesty was coldly glaring at him with a man in his arms. Suddenly, he was so angry that he raised his hand and …
Hu! Prince Ling slapped him on the head. "You've been separated from your brother for the New Year, and you're still smiling!"
Hu! Prince Jing slapped him on the head. "Unfilial son, you only came to see Imperial Father now!"
Hu! The Emperor slapped him on the head. "Unfilial son, why are you hugging a man!"
His Majesty raised his head. "This is my Empress!"
Hu! Su Yu slapped him on the head. "Why aren't you paying your respects to Imperial Father!"
Su Yu staggered from the slap. When he raised his head, he saw that the Retired Emperor had turned to look at the National Tutor with a murderous expression.
The Retired Emperor looked at the National Tutor quietly. He raised his hand … and slowly placed it on the top of the National Tutor's snow-white hair. "My darling 21, you've grown so big!"
The National Tutor looked coldly at the Retired Emperor, raised his hand, and slapped him on the back of the head. His cold and pleasant voice resounded through the clouds. "You still have the cheek to say that!"
Why did he cut off the bloodline connection!
Why didn't he save a blood contract slave!
Why didn't he let the mermaid send a message!
Su Yu was stunned as he watched the Retired Emperor being ruthlessly taught a lesson by the National Tutor. The Retired Emperor didn't even fight back when he was hit, nor did he talk back when he was scolded. He was momentarily stunned.
Prince Hao didn't mind the commotion and chimed in. "That's right, I advised Sixth Brother not to bully the mermaid, but he didn't listen."
The National Tutor glared at him with her beautiful, murderous eyes. "And you!"
"Ouch! 21, I was wrong, I was wrong. Don't hit my head, don't hit my head. Ouch! "Prince Hao got his wish of being beaten up by his younger brother.
The royal family's unique way of meeting was an eye-opener for Su Yu. Thanks to this slap, the nervousness he felt when meeting his father-in-law for the first time … was completely forgotten.
Su Yu returned his outer robe to the Emperor. "The hem of my robe is wet. It'll be fine after drying it for a while. You still have injuries on your body. Don't catch a cold."
The Emperor frowned slightly. "I'm fine." What did he mean by his injuries? Was this stupid slave doubting his ability to protect him?
"It's not cold on this island. I'll feel hot if I wear this." Su Yu could only say this when he saw that Uncle Cat was unhappy.
The Emperor snorted and put on his outer robe. Really, only he would spoil such a willful and stupid slave.
The Retired Emperor, who had just been taught a lesson, straightened his robe and resumed his dignified posture. He looked at Su Yu and coldly asked the Emperor, "Where's your mother?"
"She's in the palace." The Emperor said expressionlessly.
"Why did you marry a man?" The Retired Emperor looked at Su Yu. He had a delicate appearance and looked honest. He was quite pleasing to the eye, but he couldn't bear children.
"I'm happy to." The Emperor answered briefly and forcefully.
"Unfilial son!" The Retired Emperor took a deep breath. "We haven't seen each other for so many years. Is this how you speak to me?"
"Retired Emperor, you should address me as' Guren '." Wang Gonggong reminded him in time.
"… You bastard, I don't need you to tell me that!" The Retired Emperor slapped Wang Gonggong. He snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Su Yu looked at the Retired Emperor and then at the Emperor. He calmly held the Emperor's clenched fist and slowly pried open the Emperor's slender fingers. He put his own hand into the Emperor's clenched fist and held it back. "Your Majesty really resembles the Retired Emperor."
The Emperor was stunned for a moment. He slowly held his hand back and snorted. "Who's like him!"
The father and son obviously missed each other very much, but each was more stubborn than the other. Su Yu held back his laughter and didn't say anything else. Master Cat would be angry if he said anything more.
The Retired Emperor led the way in front. Prince Hao smiled and carefully accompanied the National Tutor. Everyone followed him into the forest behind the beach.
"You saw that thing too?" Prince Hao heard Prince Ling mention the monster that looked like Yazi and sighed. "If we don't get rid of that thing, I'm afraid we'll never be able to leave this place."
"Why?" Prince Jing rushed over to ask his Imperial Father.
His Highness The Crown Prince lay on top of Prince Jing's head and looked around curiously with his big eyes.
"Is this your seed?" Prince Hao looked at the furball on Prince Jing's head and rubbed it. "Grandson, call me Grandpa!"
The Retired Emperor turned around and snatched the kitten away. "This is Guren's grandson."
"Fine, fine, your grandson." Seventh Uncle curled his lips.
The Retired Emperor snorted and raised the little furball to his eye level. "Call me Imperial Grandpa."
"Mi …" His Highness The Crown Prince wagged his tail in confusion.
The island wasn't very big, but it wasn't small either. It was about 500 mu of land and there was a small mountain in the middle. After passing through a forest, there was an open grassland in front of them. It was green like a high-quality woolen carpet. It stretched all the way to the mountainside, and there was a lush forest on the mountainside.
There was a thatched hut halfway up the mountain. Two stalwart men were making a fire and cooking. To be exact, one of them was making a fire and cooking, while the other was sitting at the side and watching.
The man in a black and yellow robe had a piece of tree bark on his lap and a burnt branch in his hand. He was writing something on it and looked up from time to time. It was Fifth Uncle, Prince Zhong. "Why did Old Six and Old Seven take so long?"
The man who made the fire was wearing a black and white robe. Unlike Prince Su, his robe was more black than white. He was Ninth Uncle, Prince Yong. Prince Yong put the fish on the fire and added some firewood. He looked up at his brother and realized that he was asking him a question. He scratched his head and said, "Oh."
Prince Zhong sighed. "Oh what? Go and see. Call them …" He stopped abruptly when he saw a group of people coming out of the forest. In addition to his two younger brothers, there was a group of young people and … He raised his hand to rub his eyes. He was wearing white clothes and had white hair. He was handsome beyond compare. Twenty One!
"Old Nine …" Prince Zhong stood up and pushed his younger brother.
"Huh?" Prince Yong didn't understand.
"Say, if I tell 21 how miserable our lives are, can he not hit me?" Prince Zhong asked bitterly. His hair stood on end as he watched the State Preceptor, who was like a banished immortal, gradually approach.
"He can't!" Before the dazed Ninth Wangye could open his mouth, a clear and pleasant voice like the sound of nature answered on his behalf. Following that, a hand as white as jade firmly landed on Prince Zhong's head.
