Fortunately, they didn’t turn into star beast forms and fight, otherwise their house would definitely have to be rebuilt from the ground up.
When they finally stopped, Almer looked extremely wretched. Although Ruan Shu had shouted not to hit the face, Ruan Fengsi was a bit petty and deliberately targeted his face.
At this moment, Almer’s face hadn’t swollen into a pig’s head, but several spots were scraped and bleeding.
With blood at the corner of his mouth and a body beaten but spirit unyielding, Almer said, “Listen to my explanation. That post really wasn’t on purpose. Mainly I was drunk and had no brain at the time.”
Ruan Shu held some medicine, “How about you guys apply the medicine first?”
She was already very practiced at this. Ever since transmigrating into this world, her biggest change was her strengthened mentality. From time to time she’d see her family fighting each other—if your mentality wasn’t strong, you really couldn’t survive.
And her technique in applying medicine on others had also become increasingly skillful.
“Then delete that post!”
Almer obediently leaned his head toward Ruan Shu for her to apply medicine, closing his eyes but responding quickly with his mouth.
“That wouldn’t be good, right? After all, I’m the Emperor. Being inconsistent gives people a bad impression.”
Ruan He blew his beard and glared. “So you still remember you’re the Emperor? As an Emperor, is it appropriate for you to post something like that?”
Almer wanted to say it was quite appropriate, but afraid of getting beaten again, he kept his mouth shut.
“I’ll post another to clarify. Just tag Ruan Marshal when I do. And Ruan Marshal, post something on your own StarNet account about Shu Shu too.”
“Ahem ahem…”
Ruan He coughed a few times.
Almer wore a proper smile, but with the bruises on his face, it looked a little pitiful.
Ever since becoming Emperor, he hadn’t been beaten this badly, but in this matter he was in the wrong. Being beaten was just part of the deal.
“Of course, I won’t forget Mr. Ruan either.”
Almer moved quickly. He wrote a little essay and reposted it with a tag for Ruan Marshal.
Star Beast Empire His Majesty Emperor Almer: Correction: I was drunk and not thinking straight when I posted that previous update. That little lucky mascot actually isn’t mine, but belongs to @Star Beast Empire Ruan Marshal’s daughter @Star Beast Empire Elder Ruan He’s granddaughter. But my relationship with her is very good.
Adding that last line was his final bit of stubbornness.
Ruan Xiao saw it, but didn’t pursue it further. After all, this Emperor of theirs really was 180 jin of pure rebellion.
He also posted something on his own StarNet account.

In the photos he posted, one was of her standing on a certain Marshal’s palm, tiptoeing on her little paws to lick his chin—just looking at it made people want to shout, “Put down that kitty and let me do it!”
The other was of Ruan Shu eating fruit. When her name was called, she suddenly turned back toward the camera, smiling with curved brows and eyes, eyes seeming to contain the glitter of starlight, her little face delicate with puffed-up cheeks.
Once the two photos were released, the netizens exploded.
First, because no one expected that such a tiny little creature would be a star beast, and even more shocking, that this star beast was actually Ruan Marshal’s daughter.
And with such clear photos, who knew how many people were melted by the kitten and the soft, snow-white, milky dumpling in the images.
Such a good-looking little one, and Marshal you hid her for so long? You muddle-headed man!
If you’d revealed her earlier, we would’ve helped you raise your daughter already!
But the real shock came later—the retired Old Marshal Ruan also posted an update. Unlike Ruan Xiao who was stingy and only posted two pictures, Ruan He, who had long wanted to show off his granddaughter to the world, directly posted a full neat set of nine pictures.
Some were of the cat form, some were of Ruan Shu’s human form, and some were of him taking photos with his obedient granddaughter.
Not a single photo was repeated, and even Ruan Shu’s clothes were different in each one.
The netizens went crazy.
【Eating melons, eating melons, this gossip is spicy! So His Majesty actually snatched the Marshal’s daughter?】
【LMAO. Got drunk and posted someone else’s daughter as your own. I just want to know, did the Marshal roll his eyes at the Emperor yet?】
More than that—he got beaten so badly his face almost got disfigured.
【Hahaha. Saw that last sentence from His Majesty. Is it just me or did I sense his stubbornness in it?】
【Was this clarification posted after sobering up, or after getting beaten up by the Marshal?】
【No way, right? I can’t even picture His Majesty being beaten. Why am I kind of looking forward to it though?】
Almer: What’s with these netizens? Weren’t they my fans? These are black fans for sure!
【Ruan Marshal, not okay! Why only post two photos? The old Marshal next door posted nine, you know~ 😏】
【Didn’t know such tiny star beast forms existed in the world. What breed is this? I looked online and couldn’t find it. But it’s really too cute.】
【Ruan Marshal, give me your daughter! Let me help you raise her! I totally don’t mind! This little one looks so obedient! Every smile goes straight to my heart, who can understand!】
Ruan He looked at the online comments and was finally satisfied. Now he had a bigger platform to show off his obedient granddaughter.
He even happily started chatting with the netizens in the comment section—all just to brag about his granddaughter.
Ruan Shu didn’t dare look at the messages on StarNet anymore. She just felt incredibly embarrassed. But deep down she was genuinely happy—because now so many, so many people knew she was Daddy’s daughter.
Meanwhile, of course, Ruan Fengsi wasn’t going to be left behind. Dad and Grandpa had already shown off, how could he not? He not only posted pictures of his little sister, but also showed off the safety knot she gave him, and the Qilin tiger-hair felt she made using his tiger fur.
Ruan Fengsi himself was strong, with many fans since his school days. After becoming the CEO of a major company, the group grew even bigger, and so did his fanbase—his side also blew up.
As if they all agreed in advance, the Ruan family fully revealed their little girl to the public today, and their attitudes shocked many people.
Weren’t people saying that the Ruan family’s sons wouldn’t like this extra illegitimate daughter? Didn’t they say that Ruan Xiao would never treat someone with F-rank spiritual power with any special regard?
Then what was this? Ruan Xiao, who had never posted about personal life before, not only acknowledged this little girl on his StarNet account, but also got linked with His Majesty?
And the eldest son of the Ruan family—this relationship between the siblings didn’t seem to be strained like everyone speculated. On the contrary, this eldest son of Marshal Ruan, the CEO of Fengxin Group, actually seemed very protective and doting toward this little sister.
So… who the hell spread those fake rumors? Damn it, those fake rumors misled everyone. If the Ruan family finds out what was being said in private, would they come deal with us?
And then there’s His Majesty. My god, this little girl is really something. The Ruan family could be explained—they’re blood relatives, so it’s understandable they’d care for her.
But to think she could even get His Majesty to post something like that! That first post may have only been two words, but every inch of it oozed with the dragon clan’s possessiveness. This relationship clearly isn’t simple!
