《The Last Cat in the Universe》


 Chapter 1 - F*** Your Ancestors’ Graves!

    On a remote and uninhabited prairie, there was a small lump of white quietly laying under the shade.It was a cat.


    His entire body was snow-white, with glossy and smooth fur. He had a beautiful pink nose and eyes as clear as sapphires saturated with the color of the ocean.


    This cat¡¯s name was Yue An. It was the name given to him by his first owner.


    In the shade, the white cat leisurely swung its tail before sitting up. With a gentle shake of that thin tail, many other white tails instantly appeared. The cat¡¯s expression seemed quite nervous as he turned his head to cautiously count his tails.


    Done with the count, the white cat was very satisfied. He then carefully looked at the little shadow of a ninth tail and gently caressed it. As he actually touched it, his expression became somewhat pleased and he began to purr in contentment.


    Yue An gently swung the existing eight tails, and, like a folding fan closing, those extra tails merged into a single one.


    Legend was that for every 20 years of cultivation, a cat would grow another tail. Its cultivation was considered to be complete when the ninth tail had grown1. Once the cat attained righteousness through cultivation, it could become an immortal. However, when the ninth tail was almost fully grown, the heaven¡¯s will would be imposed and a wish would have to be fulfilled. Any type of wish was okay. But when a wish was granted, a tail would fall, and the cat, left with only eight tails, couldn¡¯t ever become immortal.


    Yue An was only a young cat and had not lost a tail before, nor did he want to lose one. The young cat was not resigned. Taking advantage of when the clan¡¯s guards were distracted, he sneakily used the formation left by the only cat that had successfully cultivated nine tails to become an immortal, and he was sent to this place without humans.


    Yue An calculated the date;  Yue An was extremely happy. With a lazy yawn and stretch, he cockily swung his tail and began lapping at his soft, pretty coat.


    This was a paradise where only animals existed.


    The end of the dry season was approaching, and the unbridled prairie that had been tormented by the great heat would soon welcome the sweet rain. Yue An could sense the faint traces of moisture in the air that brought wafts of coolness during the blazing drought.


    The pure white cat stood up, shaking out his fur before jumping onto the huge rock that he generally used to sharpen his claws. Standing proudly with his head raised, the petite Yue An thought of the lions he had seen on TV in the past. Remembering the exuberant manes, he enthusiastically copied the manner of the male lions and roared loudly.


    ¡°¡ª¡ªMeow!¡±


    The tender cry didn¡¯t frighten anything. Even the birds that were standing nearby with their heads high, on alert against natural predators, were not scared away.


    Yue An, ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Yue An sullenly looked at his paws before he extended his claws to lightly scratch at the big rock below his feet. Seeing the five deep claw marks that had appeared, he finally retracted his claws, satisfied with himself. He jumped down from the rock and strutted towards the water reservoir in his territory with his tail raised high.


    Yue An had already been at this place that lacked spiritual energy for many decades.  From when he only had 5 tails, he had already claimed this piece of territory and lived his days here without moving his den. Actually, saying that this place lacked spiritual energy was an exaggeration. Even the post-magic era, where barely any cats could awaken their sentience, had more spiritual energy than here.


    Yue An could guess that he was no longer on earth. Here, the oxygen was thin, and the animals he came upon were much smaller than the ones on earth. The sky was always overcast with tinges of red. The torridity didn¡¯t come from the sun, but rather from under the ground.


    However, that was fine.


    The growth of his tails did not depend on the spiritual energy available, they would grow as long as he lived. Whether the spiritual energy was dispersed in the air or not, it only affected the strength of the techniques he could use. For example, the lightning technique that could strike down a wall back in the day, in this place that lacked spiritual energy it could only be used¡­ to catch fish.


    Yue An had raised some fish in the reservoir.  During the dry season, daring little animals would sometimes sneak into his territory and steal a few. Yue An didn¡¯t really mind even after discovering them a few times. They all wanted to survive; those fellows struggled to live while he was rather unrestrained. However, he¡¯d be even freer after becoming an immortal!


    Yue An picked up a fish that he struck unconscious with lightning and strolled towards his den while happily fantasizing.


    After becoming an immortal, things like fish, he could eat or throw them out as he liked. If he wanted chicken, he could eat to his heart¡¯s content, and he didn¡¯t need to hunt those little sparrows anymore. He could directly go hunt phoenixes!


    The little white cat that looked as if it had not yet reached adulthood happily walked forward with short steps. If it wasn¡¯t for the fish in his mouth, he would even meow a song.


    Yue An¡¯s fish pond was a bit far from his den. Before he became a demon, he was a pampered house cat. His first owner was a cute and charming little girl who doted on him to the point that he could reach the sky. Unfortunately, when the little girl¡¯s mother was pregnant with a second child, she sent Yue An to her countryside hometown.


    It was then that Yue An awakened his sentience. It was also during that time that he was taken back to the clan by a traveling cat demon.


    The little girl raised Yue An for a bit more than a year, and along with her pampering, Yue An developed many fussy habits. For example: one ¨C there couldn¡¯t be any foreign scents near his den; two ¨C maintaining a glossy, spotless appearance at all times; three ¨C paying particular attention to keeping an unhurried and composed bearing while eating, etc.


    Yue An had even sectioned off a specific area for eating and another for burying food remains. Slightly to the left of the area between his den and the fish pond, there was a piece of land not covered by the wild grass, exposing the dirt below. That was Yue An¡¯s dining room.


    Yue An set the fish down, the tip of the tail that was raised high swayed a few times. Just as he was about to bite, his ears suddenly twitched to attention, and he raised his head to look towards the left. Without any warning, his body lowered, the back legs applied force, and he shot forward like a streak of white lightning,


    Light rustling sounds came from the prairies. When Yue An who was two heads shorter than the grass appeared again, he was holding something that looked like a cross between a bird and a chicken2 in his mouth.


    When he was done killing it, Yue An effortlessly dragged the animal that was twice his size back to the dining area. With ease, he stretched out his sharp claws and skinned the animal that had delivered itself to his doorstep.


    Afterward, he unhurriedly licked clean the blood and shreds of flesh on his body and paws before lowering his head to leisurely eat the fish and the unplanned-for prey. It tasted like chicken, but more firm. It was better than nothing, and he could still use it to grind his teeth.


    Finished with his meal, Yue An licked his paws and cleaned the traces of blood off of his face before starting to dig a hole at the side, preparing to bury the remaining bones.


    At this time, a peal of thunder came from near the horizon. The white cat that was focused on digging jumped in shock and raised its head to look towards the murky red sky. He didn¡¯t detect the moisture that would always appear before it rained. There shouldn¡¯t have been thunder at this time.


    The sky was silent for many seconds after the thunder, then there was a sudden explosion accompanied by blinding flames.


    Those flames became brighter and brighter until they cut through the hazy skies. It was as if a comet was piercing through the atmosphere, a long tail trailing after it, bringing along a calamitous force as it smashed towards this piece of overgrown land.


    Yue An watched as that comet-like thing came closer and closer, streaking through the sky above him and causing the ground below to violently shake, before landing on¡­


    The fishbone in Yue An¡¯s mouth fell to the ground; an expression that was part vacant, part shocked and part wronged appeared on his adorable face. His fur bristled, and, without the thought of even burying the remains of his food, he turned and immediately bolted towards his den.


    Unfortunately, the result was already clear.


    Yue An crouched beside the dark grey, oval-shaped thing that had descended from the sky and was radiating astonishing heat. Looking at the remains of the den that he had lived in for so many decades after building it with great difficulty, he almost wanted to cry.


    Not having time to mind the grey ash that stuck onto his fur, the cat circled the burnt, blackish ball a few times. Finally, he got tired and stopped. He meowed a few times with that tender voice of his; he was extremely aggrieved. After feeling wronged for a few seconds, he unsheathed his claws and began clawing savagely at the charcoal ball that had smashed his den.


    Yue An was a demon. The fighting ability of demons was quite amazing, and their bodies were extremely formidable.


    He furiously scratched at the burnt remains; the terribly charcoal ball was easily clawed through as if it was paper. Yue An scratched at it for a while and then felt the sensation under his paws change, as if he had touched something.


    Suddenly, a low click came from within the foreign object.


    Yue An¡¯s ears twitched, vigilantly standing upright as he looked at the giant charcoal ball that had opened up from within after revealing a crack. He retracted his paws, pulling back a step to see the true appearance of the thing that had been wrapped up inside the burnt ball.


    It was an egg-shaped thing that emitted a milky white light¡ª¡ªbut it wasn¡¯t an egg, because it was slowly opening, exposing what it had been protecting within.


    What was revealed was a human.


    One that was tattered, drenched in blood, and had a hole in his abdomen. One that was about to stop breathing. This human still had a trace of vitality in him. In fact, with unyielding willpower, he was even trying to slowly open his eyes.


    Alarms went off in Yue An¡¯s heart. When he clearly saw what was in the egg, he turned and fled without hesitation.


    However, it was already too late.


    At this moment, the cat whose ninth tail was about to grow felt the guidance of the heavens and unavoidably heard what the human on his last breath most earnestly wished for.


    ¡­


    Yue An pretended to not hear, desperately running for his life. But while running, he felt his rear getting light and turned his head to see a tail lightly fall to the ground.


    Yue An¡¯s steps stopped. He was trembling as he swung out all his tails and counted them in disbelief. After counting, he wailed with grief and indignation. Staring at the tail that had fallen and the human whose injuries were recovering at a rate that could be seen with the naked eye, he felt like he was going to faint.

 Chapter 2 - Who Would Have the Heart to Reject Such a Cute Kitty?

    Yue An finally understood what the clan elders meant when they earnestly told him, ¡°The will of the heavens cannot be denied¡±. He hugged the fallen tail that had been smudged with dirt, caressed it and rubbed against it. His heart was filled with reluctance to part with it.Once the tail had fallen, it will slowly disappear as the human¡¯s wish was granted.


    Yue An looked on helplessly as his treasured tail gradually became a shadow. The pair of blue eyes that were saturated with the colours of the ocean glistened with moisture.


    He simply couldn¡¯t be more aggrieved!


    Yue An watched his tail disappear bit by bit, until not even a trace could be seen. Then, he exerted strength on the ground with his back paws, and jumped onto the body of the human lying inside the giant egg-shaped protector. Seeing the pectoral muscles exposed through the shredded clothes, Yue An got even angrier.


    Fine! He lost a tail. It was heaven¡¯s will after all. But this wild wish that murdered his chance to become an immortal wasn¡¯t from a little lady!


    Yue An¡¯s tails bristled with fury. His cat eyes got rounder as he crouched on the stomach of this blood covered man and glared. Feeling the vitality of the human becoming stronger under his paws, he couldn¡¯t help but extend his sharp claws. Raising his paws as he looked at the slowly rising chest, he deliberated over where he should claw to end the life of this foolish sleeping human.


    However, he had wasted a tail to save this human. The paw that was about to land stopped above the human¡¯s stomach. Even if it wasn¡¯t him, some other human would still be there.


    It was just like what those elders who had cultivated for many years and experienced the ups and downs of life would say as they stroked Yue An¡¯s fur and smoked.


    ¡°Only when there is a human who genuinely and sincerely wishes for a cat to become an immortal can a nine-tailed cat escape the tragic fate of losing their ninth tail.¡±


    Yue An looked at his claws, then looked at the unconscious and unresponsive human.


    Thinking so, Yue An retracted his claws, and those soft and fleshy paw pads landed on the man¡¯s chest. The relaxed chest muscles were soft, rising and falling as the man breathed.


    Yue An absent-mindedly thought about how seriously and sincerely the elders would tell him those words, and his paws began flexing as he subconsciously began kneading.


    The elders used to say, ¡°You can¡¯t escape anyway, might as well find a youthful, tender, pretty, and kind owner. In any case, after completing their wish, after twenty years just fake a death and escape. Twenty years, spending it anywhere is the same.¡±


    Only young nine-tailed cats like Yue An would try to escape the fate of losing tails.  After experiencing it a few times, everyone basically gives up struggling and goes off to find acceptable looking litter cleaning officials to be masters of. After all, thinking wishfully, what if ¨C in all absurdness ¨C their luck was amazing enough to successfully ascend?


    Thinking this, Yue An¡¯s beautiful blue eyes slightly moved, and he looked at the man beneath him. He lowered his head and immediately made eye contact with the man. It was a pair of eyes as black as the tranquil night sky. Rays of light scattered within and left fragments of splendor.


    ¡­¡­???


    The paws that had been kneading stopped, and Yue An¡¯s mind went blank.


    Ji Xiuyun didn¡¯t think that he had any chance of survival. Moreover, other than feeling a lack of strength and some numbness, there was pretty much no pain or wounds. Even his old chronic illnesses and those invisible injuries that needed time to heal had disappeared without a trace.


    It was as if his body had been thoroughly cleansed and cured of all the ailments, leaving only the surging blood filled with vitality and a youthful, vigorous body.


    Of course, the most unexpected thing was ¡­ his chest was assaulted.


    Originating from the Milky Way Galaxy, presently, he was the powerful Grand Marshall of the Hintas Empire. The dream lover of billions of women, the person hated to the point of gnashing teeth by enemy armies and space pirates alike. The mere mention of his name would cause the children of hostile nations to cry at night. He was the iron-willed silver blade, Ji Xiuyun, Marshall Ji.


    He was at the brink of death and seriously injured, but mysteriously, he had somehow been completely healed. And then his chest got assaulted by a soft and fluffy unidentified creature that appeared to be quite cute.


    Ji Xiuyun thought calmly as he indifferently looked at the young seeming creature that was staring at him with its eyes wide open.


    Yue An stared at this human for a bit, dumbfounded. Then he lowered his head to look down at the paws that were still placed on the man¡¯s chest. He tilted his head, silently removed his paws, and returned to where his stomach was. Seeing the patch of black that had been smeared on the man¡¯s chest by his dirty paws, he decided to act as if nothing happened, and turned his head to look at the scenery.


    Originally, this was a small hillside with a large rock at the top. There was a huge cave under the large rock, one that was warm and dry. The geothermal supply in this place was plentiful. After spreading out some treated animal furs, with the elevation and the large rock to block the rain and wind, not much rain would enter the den, even during the sopping wet rainy season. Most of the den would remain dry, it was comfortable.


    Yue An had been here for many decades and really loved his den. But now, to say nothing of his den, even that natural cave was smashed to pieces. A huge section had even been completely melted by the high temperature of the falling black mass.


    As soon as Yue An thought about it, he got angry again. But even if he was angry, he couldn¡¯t scratch the human, he could only angrily jump on the human¡¯s stomach.


    Ji Xiuyun, ¡°¡­¡­¡°


    After jumping, Yue An¡¯s tail swayed, fluffy and soft, as it slid across the man¡¯s abdomen. It was both dry and hot since the traces of moisture in his territory had already been evaporated by the giant egg that had fallen from the sky, only this man¡¯s body had some traces of coolness.


    Yue An lowered his head. He looked at the fur that had been dyed black by the scorched ash, and then glanced at the human who was also not very clean. Under his attentive gaze, he meowed and lightly waved a paw. A few thin streams of water appeared out of nowhere, weaving back and forth between the sorry figures of the human and the cat as if they had self-awareness, taking away the blood and dirt on their bodies.


    Speaking of this, he was ashamed. Back in the day, when spiritual energy was abundant, this technique could move mountains and drain seas, super awe-inspiring. But on earth, it could only be used to take a bath. Using it here, it wasn¡¯t even enough for a bath. Only a little stream of water would appear every time, not good for much other than taking a few sips when thirsty, or cleaning those places that were hard to reach while licking.


    Yue An raised his front paws, coordinating with the water streams to clean his black and dirty paws, exposing his cute tender pink paw pads below.  After his front paws were washed clean, he raised his back legs.


    Ji Xiuyun looked at the little animal that had no scruples about washing its body while standing on his stomach, and his powerless fingers twitched slightly. He finally felt a bit of strength returning.


    Yue An didn¡¯t notice the changes in the human. After washing both the human and himself, the first thing Yue An did was to raise his head and study this human¡¯s face. Yue An didn¡¯t really have an appreciation for human beauty, his aesthetics basically followed his first owner.


    For example, he felt that people like his first generation owner was quite pretty. She was usually bare-faced, only wearing some lipstick when heading out and had a lively and cute personality with a little fussiness. This only served to enhance her attractiveness. And the people admired and adored by the little girl mostly wore a fiery red lipstick, had leather jackets, and had a high heeled mature woman image.


    So, Yue An felt that these kind of older sisters were also very pretty.


    As for the male gender¡­


    The little girl used to crazily praise people on her computer while stroking him. And most of those people were delicate and beautiful youths who looked slender, fair, and tender.


    And so, Yue An felt that beautiful youths looked the best. When he had managed, with great difficulty, to save up enough spiritual energy to turn into a human form, Yue An specifically brought a mirror back to look at his appearance. When he found out that he had that type of delicate appearance, he was considerably pleased.


    The man in front of him was not of that type. The shape of his face was quite sharp, and his gaze was as calm as to the point of being frigid. He seemed to be someone that was not to be trifled with.


    Yue An¡¯s gaze swept over the cleaned body and found that the man¡¯s figure was very tall, with beautiful, flowing muscles where not a shred of excess fat could be found. Even as he laid there helplessly, Yue An could still clearly feel his scorching strength assault his senses. Not having knowledge of aesthetics regarding this area, Yue An¡¯s gaze returned to the face that really couldn¡¯t be considered to be one of a beautiful youth.

    The kitten that wasn¡¯t equipped with an understanding of human beauty standards thought to himself.


    If this was his new caretaker, Yue An could reluctantly accept this ¡®Litter cleaning official¡¯.


    As for the possibility that the man may not want to raise him, Yue An had never even considered it.


    As he thought so, Yue An sat immovably on the man¡¯s stomach and began to lick his fur to comfort himself. Having been washed, his fur was still slightly damp, which was a bit distressing for a cat. After he finished licking his front paws, he turned to lay on the man¡¯s stomach.  While he was preparing to arrange the fur on his stomach, the human cushion slowly sat up.


    Yue An slid from his stomach to between his legs, blankly raising his head to look at the human who was currently studying him expressionlessly. He then recalled the memories of when his first owner raised him, and licked his little nose while meowing softly and sweetly.


    Ji Xiu Yu¡¯s icy gaze shifted, retrieving the stare that seemed as if it was embedded with spikes. He raised his head and looked around at the rampant growth before opening his mouth to ask in a hoarse voice. ¡°You saved me?¡±


    Yue An swished his tail, ¡°Meow.¡±


    Ji Xiuyun didn¡¯t count on an untamed wild animal to understand human speech, and didn¡¯t treat Yue An¡¯s ¡®Meow¡¯ as a response. However, he also didn¡¯t think that the possibility of being saved by this seemingly pampered and unknown creature, that looked both cute and clean, was anything particularly surprising.


    The universe was huge, without boundaries or end.


    After humans stepped into the interstellar age, they had spent over two thousand years expanding towards the corners of the universe. Despite discovering countless new intelligent life forms and even finding many beings with special abilities, they were still unable to touch the ends of the cosmos.


    To be able to come upon a special animal that was not recorded in the database of the Star Net and also had special abilities on this alien planet, Ji Xiuyun felt that his luck was very good.


    ¡ª¡ªAnd there was a good chance that it was this special animal that had dragged him back from the brink of death and bestowed upon him a completely healthy body, as if he had been reborn.


    Ji Xiuyun lowered his eyes to look at his stomach that was supposed to have a hole punctured through it. The intense pain seemed to linger but the gruesome wound had already disappeared.


    The Empire¡¯s Marshall that had fallen into dire straits picked up the little animal sitting on his leg. Despite the cold stiffness in his body, his movements were unbelievably gentle in order to not injure this little critter that appeared to be his saviour. His large hands carefully supported this unusual animal. He looked at its sky blue eyes, which were as clear as the tide-pools under sunlight.


    Ji Xiuyun could even clearly see the thin red veins in the patch of blue.


    Marshall Ji withdrew his gaze, feeling the soft, juvenile life in his hands. It seemed as if just a bit of force could easily squeeze it to death. He thought for a moment, and his coarse, callous hand smoothed over this little animal¡¯s soft and warm coat, receiving a relaxing rub in return as well as a soft, velvety meow.


    It had been a long time since someone picked him up and stroked his fur. Yue An stared at this human that had wasted one of his tails and narrowed his eyes as he began to purr in comfort.


    Ji Xiuyun looked at the little animal that was clearly very cozy, and, out of some kind of very strict scientific attitude, he carefully flipped over the body of this amicable unidentified creature of unknown abilities, exposing its belly before his gaze landed on the area near Yue An¡¯s tail.


    Yue An was very opposed to exposing his stomach. As he prepared to flip back, he suddenly froze, raising his head to stare in disbelief at the human who had served him until he was quite comfortable only moments earlier.


    And, at this time, the hand of the human, under his gaze, accurately landed on his balls. He even shamelessly squeezed them!


    ¡­


    Marshall Ji retracted his hand and saw the small creature glaring at him, with its mouth slightly open, showing the tips of its little fangs. Despite their different races, he could discern the other¡¯s shocked expression. He paused slightly, and a flicker of bewilderment flashed through his usually placid, tranquil gaze.


    Ji Xiuyun: ¡­¡­

 Chapter 3 - Let’s call you ‘Little White’

    Ji Xiuyun didn¡¯t understand what the soft, small, and harmless animal in his hand was thinking. His strength had mostly recovered, and he could finally stand up. Recalling how the snow white little animal in front of him seemed to like cleanliness, he carefully put down the small animal, who seemed to have gone stupid, onto the only clean spot on the bed.For the time being, it could still be considered a bed, right?


    Ji Xiuyun indifferently swept his gaze over the huge span of blood soaked into the bed, containing a conglomerate of what seemed to be broken bits of internal organs and skin. With a turn, he walked to the unopened side of the oval-shaped egg. He raised his hand and touched a certain area.


    Yue An¡¯s ears shook. He had finally come out of shock since being molested by that rogue of a human. Seeing the white protective shell surrounding him slowly closing, he quickly turned over and crawled up, jumping down from the bed. He found a relatively clean place to stand, his eyes staring at the white eggshell as it expanded and changed its shape with a soft mechanical sound. In a short ten seconds, it became a house ¡ª to be precise, it should be one room.


    Yue An curiously circled in amazement around this house that was suddenly erected on this scorched earth. Reaching out his pink, tender, and soft paw pads to investigate, he pawed at the wall and found that it wasn¡¯t thick.


    But no matter how one looked at it, this had already surpassed Earth¡¯s technology by at least a few decades. Yue An strolled around the corner and then stopped at what looked like the door.


    The technology on Earth had already progressed to this point, ah!


    Yue An thought about those cats in the clan who didn¡¯t like to find Litter cleaning officials. Instead, they liked to change into their human forms and were addicted to gaming. If he could go back and find them, he could definitely harvest many new game recommendations of all kinds. A few decades had passed. Yue An slightly missed that bunch of cats in the clan who would occasionally gather to curse at their Litter cleaning officials and humans with their plethora of diverse wishes.


    Since the new Litter cleaning official could come to this place, although he looked like he had fallen into dark times, it should be fine. Since he could come here, he definitely had a way back. Humans were always surprisingly smart.


    He could go back and say hi to those in the clan or complain about the unfairness of the world. Thinking about that, his mood improved quite a bit, and his tail started to swing.


    After Ji Xiuyun activated the safety mode, he entered the room to find that the white ball, which should have been on the bed, had disappeared. Mr. Marshal¡¯s steps paused for a second. A few thin lines appeared in between his eyebrows.


    However, in the end, he still didn¡¯t make any excessive movements. Instead, he took out some clothing from the cabinet in the room and changed into them, he then took out a small bottle. Inside the bottle was a transparent patch. Taking out the transparent patch, the size of a fingernail, he sprayed the fluid in the bottle onto the patch. He then stuck it under his nose and took a deep breath.


    This was a little tool that everyone in the interstellar alliance knew how to use, a Portable oxygen patch. It was soft, flexible, colorless, breathable, and skin friendly. Once it was sprayed with the special fluid and placed under the nose, it was indistinguishable from the skin. One patch could last three hours in an oxygenless environment.


    It was very obvious that this planet was not habitable for humans. The oxygen levels were low, and the air was dry. Gravity was also higher than normal habitable planets. While he was walking earlier, it had felt like exercising in a gravitational room.


    Ji Xiuyun¡¯s physique was excellent. Before, he had regulated his breathing until his body recovered, but now he needed to replenish his oxygen levels.


    Mr. Marshal¡¯s movements were very orderly and methodical, and he seemed to be extremely calm. He sat on the ground as he raised a hand to tap the wall. Numbers appeared on the wall and he entered a string of numbers at lightning speed. A projection was cast out into the air in front of him.


    It was the video recorded by the defense system after Ji Xiuyun chose to enter this safety cabin.


    The purpose of the video recording mechanism was to record people¡¯s faces and collect evidence. It prevented the person, an escapee or a captive, from easily breaking down the door and entering unauthorized, and causing injuries or casualties. At the same time, it could also be used as evidence in the universal court after the person had escaped danger and successfully returned.


    Ji Xiuyun had encountered a sneak attack during one of his routine patrols of the Galaxy Coalition¡¯s territory. The patrols of the coalition happened once every five years, lasting for a year every time. The two marshals of Hintas Empire set out together, one for the southeast and the other for the northwest.


    Ji Xiuyun was the one responsible for the southeast.


    The people who ambushed him were part of a bandit organization that was notorious throughout the universe. However, when Mr. Marshal saw the video of his own ship and mech being destroyed, there wasn¡¯t a sliver of fluctuation in his eyes.


    ¡ª¡ªHe was ambushed when he was alone.


    As a marshal of the Hintas Empire, normally, there would be guards by Ji Xiuyun¡¯s side. The times when he was alone were so few that it was pitiful. Yet, it was at these times that were so few that it was pitiful, he was ambushed.


    Evidently, there was a spy within the marshal¡¯s guards.


    But Ji Xiuyun seemed to not wholly care about the fact that there was a spy in his guards, or that he was ambushed by the universe¡¯s famous bandit organization. Instead, it was after the safety cabin had quietly left the range of the enemy forces that he had started to focus. He needed to determine his coordinates.


    As for the spy, the Marshal didn¡¯t care much about it, because he trusted that his men would be able to quickly pull out that person.


    He was extremely lucky. The safety cabin wasn¡¯t flung out too far away by the gravitational and anti-gravitational forces of the universe. The planet, which he had landed on, was at the edge of the territory owned by the galaxy coalition. Using the few iconic planets recorded in the video, Mr. Marsal determined his general coordinates.


    After he finished watching the video, he once again sat on the floor and quietly breathed in oxygen for a while, until the increase in his bpm rate had calmed down, and stood up.


    Ji Xiuyun, with efficient movements, lifted the blood-soaked mattress and ripped off the mattress cover. From the mattress that was reeking with the smell of blood, he felt around for a transparent, hard card about the size of half a hand, covered with traces of blood. Mr. Marshal, because of the traces of blood on the card, slightly faltered.


    Although this invisible card was waterproof, when the blood clotted and dried, it left an uneven surface with °¼ and ͹. If he wanted to use it, he would have to wash it clean first.


    Ji Xiuyun recalled the backup freshwater resources in the safety cabin for a second but still thought that he probably needed to go out and find a freshwater source. From a small bag that was hanging off the wall, he pulled out a small bottle of fluid. Holding the trashed mattress and tattered clothes, he turned and walked towards the door.


    Yue An had just prepared to raise his paws to knock. His paws hadn¡¯t landed yet, when the door opened. He raised his head and glanced towards the human, who was holding a thin mattress and dirty clothes, and seemed to be planning to throw them out and softly ¡°meowed¡± once.


    Mr. Marshal, who thought that this little guy had already run off, halted in his steps.


    ¡°Meow.¡± Yue An called out again.


    He looked at this human being. He could clearly see his muscles down through the man¡¯s t-shirt, but he felt that a tidy human looked much better.


    Yue An had no intention of becoming an outdoor cat, so he went around the Marshal¡¯s long legs and went straight into this black technology product.


    After all, who could bear to reject such a cute kitten? The Marshal could not.


    It couldn¡¯t be said that Ji Xiuyun was not vigilant but this little creature was obviously trying to get close to him. Ithad purposely put away its fangs and claws, leaving only a soft paw pad.


    Animals could also be of an intelligent race. Though, for most simple-minded animals, using instinct to judge good and bad was enough. And, while humans had an instinctive judgement about the kindness or malice of others, their wisdom pushed down those instincts. This allowed them to restrain their desires and bind themselves with morality.


    The Marshal, who fought fierce battles all year round, had much sharper instincts than ordinary people.


    The little guy was friendly and might have saved his life.


    Ji Xiuyun watched as the  curious little creature explored the safety cabin, occasionally touching different things . Leaving the creature to its exploration, he threw his mattress and ragged uniforms out the door, opened the lid of the container in his hand, and poured the contents over it.


    Hearing a noise, Yue An turned his head and looked towards the door.


    Outside, the blood-stained mattress and clothes gradually evaporated into steam and disappeared completely under his shocked gaze.


    Black Technology, again!


    When Ji Xiuyun returned to the room, he placed the lid back on the jar and put it in the small bag. He opened another cabinet that had dozens of rows of test tubes with blue liquid inside and took one out, opened it, and took a sip.


    Cats were inherently curious and insatiable, especially if someone was eating in front of them.


    Yue An could not help walking to the human, straightened up and leaned out his front claws on Marshal¡¯s calves, craned his neck, and cried ¡°meow¡±to catch the attention of Mr. Marshal.


    Ji Xiuyun looked down at the little kitten,  followed his eyes and saw the nutrient in his hand.


    ¡° Want a bite?¡±


    ¡°Meow¡±


    Mr. Marshal treated the very sweet cry as a response.


    But honestly, the taste of the nutrient was not wonderful.


    He dipped a bit on his finger and reached out in front of Yue An.


    Stingy¡­


    Yue An thought, but still extended his head to smell, he sensed a very light smell of fruit lingering around his nostrils.


    The kitten stuck out his little tender pink tongue, carefully licked the nutrition on the human hand.  The next second, he jumped away, while making a disgusted face.


    Marshal looked at the little creature, who obviously wanted to eat, but totally despised now, and he could not figure out what the kitten has in thoughts, and explained : ¡°We do not eat this normally.¡¯¡¯


    Yue An looked up at him and cried a meow.


    Not sure whether to believe it or not!


    Ji Xiuyun, who was Level Zero of Kitten Language, looked at the liquid  that tastes quite unpleasant in his hand, and then swallowed the remaining nutrients neatly.


    The space of the safety cabin is too precious to store fresh food. Although the Nutrients  took up some space, but considering the amount of calories and nutrients needed for human body, one is enough for an adult to support 2 days. Despite the large amount of exercise, it is possible to support for 4 days.


    Before going out to find a source of water, Ji Xiuyun needs to supplement energy to the safety cabin.


    Yue An squatted aside watching Ji Xiuyun walk to one side of the wall; two palms printed on the wall, a beam of light swept through his body, then the wall cracked a seam, a similar cabinet as where the Nutrients were placed was pushed out, in neat yards, but it was not nutrients.


    Yue An suddenly pricked up his ears, blue eyes staring at a piece of light purple crystal ore that Ji Xiuyun picked up, kicked out his hind legs and jumped straight to the ore in the hands of Ji Xiuyun.


    Ji Xiuyun, aware of Yue An¡¯s target, closed the cabinet door quickly, drew back his hands, turned back to a corner, and evaded sudden attack from the little creature .


    Yue An hit the air, as he saw the cabinet drawing back, he extended his paws onto the cabinet several times but it won¡¯t open.  He cried meow anxiously and kept jumping to Ji Xiujun¡¯s feet, circling around him.


    Yue An was quite sure of what was held in Ji Xiuyun¡¯s  hand, which is known to be consecrated by the old ancestors of his clan for more than a hundred years. Stone of the Spirit, which they preferred to accept the declining in their power of spell, rather than  gnaw a bit from it, until they finally ended with failed transformation into mankind.


    Can¡¯t believe this guy has a cabinet  full of them!


    A whole cabinet!


    After eating all the Spirit Stone in this cabinet, he would be able to become a human being and wander the world as the elders who¡¯ve saved aura for hundreds of years.


    Maybe it¡¯ll take a year or two!


    In a trance, Yue An found himself as if he had hugged a very thick golden thigh1.


    Ji Xiuyun sensed the little creature¡¯s attention on  the energy crystal and shook the stone in his hand.


    ¡°You want this?¡±


    The Marshal¡¯s voice was always cold, like years of frozen ice, and his expression was very cold, even with his eyes.


    Since his childhood, Ji Xiuyun has been brought up in the battlefield, his marshal¡¯s rank was piled up with battle achievements, even if he did his best to moderate, it was still hard and callous.


    The evil spirit and the blood sap were unable to be covered up.  Marshal Ji, even though he is a dream-lover of hundred million young girls, but at the same time, he was a demon, being distant  to a child, even the animals would move far back from him in three li2.


    However, this fluffy little guy was willing to be close to him, which has exceeded Ji Xiuyun¡¯s expectations.


    Yue An stared at the crystal ore in Ji Xiuyun¡¯s hand without blinking his eyes. When he heard his question, he answered with a hastily: ¡°Meow!¡±


    The Marshal looked at him, seeming to be thinking of somewhat, and did not say a word.


    Yue An stared at Ji Xiuyun¡¯s  cold face, and he was so angry that he wanted to stretch his paws to scratch him.


    I, have sacrificed a tail to save you!


    You, won¡¯t even give me a stone!?


    You, have a whole cabinet of them!


    But you, don¡¯t even give me a piece!!


    Yue AN is going to die of anger.


    He looked at the stone eagerly and turned back  on the wall where the cabinet was drawn, weighing the pros and cons of getting a cabinet of stones now and the probability to get more stones in the future.


    The new owner looks so rich that there is no sign of lacking in spirit stone at all. S?a??h the N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    If I leave with him, will there be a lot of stones to eat ?


    If he eats more spirit stones, he can be the same as legendary monsters, change the color of heaven and earth with a wave of paws, shape mountains and seas with a single  flip.


    Just a thought about it makes me so excited.


    Yue An became very agitated, he raised his head to look at the stone,  his sight appears more desirous.


    Ji Xiuyun pondered for a long while and said, ¡°Use your talent to produce water again.¡±


    You don¡¯t give me even a single piece of spirit stone!


    You want me to use the spell!


    You think the aura is for nothing?!


    Yue An stared at Ji Xiuyun, even wanted to turn around to point against him with the hip to protest.


    Ji Xiuyun vaguely understood what it meant. He added, ¡°Use your talent and this energy crystal is yours.¡±


    Before the voice fell, Yue An  wave his paws , and immediately a few tiny streams of water appear in the dry air.


    Ji Xiuyun observed it a little bit more than before.


    He cleaned up the blood on the invisible chip with these streams of water, and then looked down at the kitten scratching his legs of trousers.


    He said, ¡°You can understand me, right?¡±


    Yue An was rather anxious and cried ¡°Meow¡±.


    ¡°You saved me.¡± said Ji Xiuyun.


    ¡°Meow¡±


    Yes, yes, yes!


    How can a big man dawdle even more than a little girl?


    Yue An looked at the Spirit Stone anxiously, hoping to take a bite.


    Ji Xiuyun looked at the cutie for a moment and bent over to put the energy crystal at his feet.


    ¡°Thank you for saving my life.¡± The Marshal finished and introduced himself. ¡°I¡¯m Ji Xiuyun. How about you?¡±


    The white cat, busy pulling the spirit stone towards him, stood in a trance, heard his words and looked up to Marshal, still hard-faced.


    He hesitated for a long time, clasped the spirit stone in his arms, and finally responded.


    ¡°Meow¡±


    I am Yue An.


    ¡°I can¡¯t understand you,¡± said Mr. Marshal, he thought, ¡°Why not I call you Little White?¡±


    Yue An: ¡­¡­


    Yue An: ???


    Yue An felt unbelievable..


    Why the f*** are you asking me, then?!

 Chapter 4

    Marshal Ji was completely unaware that Yue An was holding a grudge against him.He took the clean chip and walked to the front of the console.


    This stealth chip was a point-to-point communication method. This piece in Ji Xiuyun¡¯s hand, was a terminal that connected to another chip held by Marshal of the Empire, Kevin.


    This was a secret that no one except the makers of the chip and the two parties involved, were privy to.


    The powers to be never wanted the entire army to be a close knit family. Therefore, on the surface, Kevin and Ji Xiujun were only nodding friends, even occasionally, at some important meetings, locking horns.


    In reality, the relationship between the two marshals was quite good.


    It¡¯s a known fact, when Ji Xiujun was achieving his meritorious military service, he was once Marshal Kevin¡¯s right-hand man.


    However,  as his achievements were enough to  promote him to aMarshal,  Ji Xiuyun was waiting for the official orders to take up his post. At this moment, Marshal Kevin showed up with hundreds of thousands of troops and reprimanded Ji Xiuyun without mercy.


    Regardless of whether the two parties are concerned about it, others who knew of this matter were very concerned.


    After Ji Xiuyun was reprimanded,  he received his first condolence from the former Emperor of the Empire .


    Few people knew that  Kevin and Ji Xiuyun were actually Master and Apprentice.


    When the teacher scolded his student, there was nothing to be ashamed of. Also, Ji Xiuyun did not regard being reprimanded in front of hundreds of thousands of soldiers as shameful.


    As a general of the army, being scolded   for making a wrong decision was a very light punishment to be scolded.


    As a man in uniform, one must possess the courage to face one¡¯s mistakes and sacrifice, especially the generals.


    The bitter truth was, soldiers who lost their lives as a result of his lapse in judgement, would no longer have the chance to witness him being reprimanded.


    Ji Xiuyun inserted the chip into the card slot of the console and he was not surprised to find it empty.  He quickly completed the rigorous authentication and entered a short set of coordinates. After the transmission was complete, the chip was simply pulled off.


    The Marshal¡¯s mechs and spaceships were bombed into cosmic garbage. Although the safety cabin was equipped with propellers, the power was barely enough to penetrate the atmosphere of the planet. If one hoped to leave, one could only wait  to be rescued.


    Ji Xiuzhen was not clear about the situation outside. However, he was sure that it was a total mess, one could figure it out even without thinking.


    The blood-stained silver blade, Hintas, was attacked and lost on the road of routine inspections. This news was big enough to explode in the league of major galaxies, and fairly enough for other countries and alliances that were willing to get certain petty advantages from the Hintas Empire to commence their actions.


    What¡¯s more, Kevin was in such tremendous pressure, that it would come as no surprise if he lost a lot of hair!


    Marshal Li politely expressed his condolences to his poor master about the possibility of going bald.


    The Marshal was well-aware that the speed of the rescue team would not be slow, but considering the intricate reasons of power,  sneak attacks and foreign enemies, there was no way to be quick.


    However, he had to prepare himself for danger considering he would be staying  on the planet for at least a few days. Water and food being the most essential resources.


    The Marshal carefully put the invisible chip and turned his head to suspiciously look at  Yue An, the  celestial being of this planet.


    As soon as he turned his head, he was stunned..


    Because Yue An was holding the ore with his paws, which was almost twice as big  as his head,  nibbling slowly, even the fallen crumbs were licked completely clean and entered his stomach.


    The Energy Crystal was an ore currently known for being highest in terms of energy composition and tenacity.


    So far, there was no known method to decompose it perfectly, nor could it be purified. If someone attempted to cut the ore by hitting it with each other, it would result in very serious energy loss.


    Researchers in this field had been studying it for more than two hundred years, and had yet to figure a way to cut it perfectly while preserving the energy in the ore.


    Up until now, the Energy Crystal had not been put into mass use as a mechanical material. Even the mech armor of Marshal, which was blown into  cosmic garbage, had only a very light layer of synthesized Energy Crystal powder painted on very critical parts.


    Although this troublesome problem had been bothering for more than two hundred years, however, to this little creature¡­it seemed it was no problem at all!


    Yue An was clearly happy with himself. Although the Spirit Stone was tasteless,  he could still clearly feel the aura inside his body increase gradually.


    The comfortable feeling of soaking under the warmth of the heating room on a cold winter day made his whole body lay as plainly as a pie.


    Ji Xiuyun watched him lick the stone for a while and decided not to figure out any questions regarding how hard a teeth this small animal had.


    He asked, ¡°Little White, do you know where the water is?¡±


    Yue An glanced at him, while licking his spirit stone he turned over pointing his at him.


    was written all over his body.


    The Marshal, who never knew how to reason with people, who no one would dare to reason with, went silent for a while, and decided to start from the preferences of Yue An.


    ¡°One piece of stone, you take me to the water source.¡±


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    Yue An looked over and stood up!


    Jiu Xiuyun overcame his excitement and turned around to take a few containers from the cabinet, when a simple folding bakeware and seasonings caught his sight.


    ¡°Is it far?¡± asked Ji Xiuyun.


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    the Marshal, who had acquired Level Zero of cat language, paused and asked, ¡°Far?¡±


    Yue An did not answer.


    the Marshal asked again, ¡°Not far?¡±


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    ¡°Is it dangerous?¡±


    Yue An did not answer.


    ¡°No?¡±


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    The Marshal glanced at the seasoning spices and utensils and asked, ¡°Are there any aquatic animals?¡±


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    Ji Xiuyun put back the containers in his hand and felt that he might have to spend words of one year on this little guy.


    Thinking about how his saviour disliked having any nutritious food, the Marshal had a great desire to prove that humans have no problem with their sense of taste. He took out the folding BBQ utensils and seasonings, and a tube of antidote to prepare for the worst.


    Yue An had been separated from human society for far too many years. He only recognized the containers used to hold water. As for the uses of other tools, Yue An was totally blind to all that and did not understand anything.


    However, this had nothing to do with him, the only thing that mattered to him was the spirit stones


    Yue An looked at Ji Xiuyun, yelled at him, pressed the rest half of the Spirit Stone under his paws, and turned his head to look at the wall with the Spirit Stones.


    Yue An stretched his neck and glared.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give it to you when we return,¡± said the Marshal.


    Yue An just sat there, looking up at the man for a long while. Then, he turned his head, held the Spirit Stones and laid down on the ground.


    Ji Xiuyun,  ¡°¡­¡±


    If someone dared to attempt this in the army, the leader would directly throw him into confinement.


    Ji Xiuyun looked at  Yue An for a while. Since he¡¯d been in the military camp all these years, he had formed a subconscious habit never to compromise.


    Yue An didn¡¯t say anything, he slowly nibbled at the Spirit Stone. He¡¯d a beautiful pair of cat eyes, though slightly creased. He¡¯d turn his head from time to time, to look at the human being who  had been standing in the same place.


    Ji Xiuyun was somewhat helpless by his gaze, but that helplessness reflected on his face seemed to be indifference.


    ¡°I am giving it to you now, are you going to eat on the way?¡± asked the Marshal.


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    Yue An, who was completely unaffected by the human expression, yelled at him.


    Marshal Ji did not succeed in comprehending the meaning of what this small fluffy guy was trying to tell.


    Yue An¡¯s ears drooped a little when all the expectation in his eyes had disappeared.


    He felt resentful and looked at the Marshal.


    ¡°Meow¡±.


    He walked over and put his two front paws on the Marshal¡¯s long legs, attempting to urge him through body language to pick up this cute kitten!


    However, the Marshal did not understand.


    Yue An, who had failed to entice the other with his cuteness, drew back his paws and made another mental note of unfair treatment. He put away the other half of the Spirit Stone in the corner, and while mumbling turned his back to scratch the door.


    The Marshal was totally unaware that he was once again marked on the small notebook of the kitten.


    He took it as this small guy was about to compromise and opened the cabin door with quite a bright mood.


    With his four short legs, Yue An would only take ten minutes to get to the edge of the pond.


    The fish in the water seemed to be aware of the movements on the shore, waving their tails quickly; he slid down from the surface.


    The pond was not large, but quite deep. There was a steady upflow of groundwater from the bottom, which was a little warm due to geothermal heat.


    The pond was not very large, just about four or five square meters, it¡¯s deep but the water was very clear, one could even see the bottom at a glance.


    There were not many fish left in the water, most were caught by small animals that couldn¡¯t find any food in the dry season.


    Yue An sat down by this small pond, and was comfortably licking his paws.


    Ji Xiuyun turned his head and peeked at him while scanning the surroundings for any large carnivores, only to find none.


    If one could possess a spring during the dry season and in such a place, this little guy must be fairly powerful.


    Ji Xiuyun filled the containers with water and took a closer look at the fish in the bottom of the pond.


    Ji Xiuyun was very familiar with this kind of fish, a frequent family recipe of the 13th Galaxy, sweet and non-toxic.


    In order to avoid expending another piece of Spirit Stone again, the Marshal immediately took out a pointed skewer; with lightning-fast speed and precise movements, he pierced two fish with it.


    Yue An was shocked by what just transpired so he turned around and stared at the Marshal with his cat eyes.


    Marshal Ji did not speak. He turned on the portable energy stove, then took out the spices and oil and began to slowly barbecue under the pair of beautiful, watchful, sapphire eyes.


    The Marshal himself had slowly climbed up the ladder, from being a normal soldier to a marshal. There were many occasions that he had to survive in the wild, where all the work had to be done on his own, thus  becoming the No. 1 barbecue chef, but only barbecue.


    Yue¡¯an watched on as Ji Xiuyun slowly worked on the fish, brushing things onto the skin, layer by layer- some of them he could barely distinguish through smell.


    The cat couldn¡¯t resist giving a thumbs-up.


    The Marshal finished grilling the fish, turned to look at the white fluff that had unknowingly drawn close to him.


    Yue An started to look back and forth between the Marshal and the grilled fish, but finally he stuck his paws out, pressed onto the hands of the Marshal, stretched his head and with the pink nose sniffed over the fish.


    Even if the fish was a bit hot,  it wouldn¡¯t cause any harm to a monster.


    It¡¯s a bit uncomfortable for a cat¡¯s tongue, but that couldn¡¯t be compared to a tempting meal.


    .


    Yue An thought, while enjoying the aromatic grilled fish.


    The Marshal witnessed the cat elegantly and quickly devour a fish. When he looked at those pair of blue eyes, he calmly said, ¡°We don¡¯t normally eat nutrients.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Yue An cried a perfunctory ¡°Meow¡±, and turned his head to another fish that Marshal held in his hand.


    ¡°This is mine.¡± The Marshal rejected him.


    The Yue An glanced at Ji Xiuyun, walked to the pond, stared at a fish and waved his paws.


    All of a sudden a thunderbolt exploded, it was completely different from the electro-optic light that was almost invisible as one might imagine. A lightning bolt, as thick as an arm¡¯s length slammed into the water causing it to be spray with the explosion onto the faces of a person and a cat, who had hardly taken any precautions.


    Along with the water, the fish were blown up too.


    All of them!


    Ji Xiuyun: ¡°¡­¡±


    Yue An ¡­ A totally numb Cat face.jpg


    Marshal Ji glanced at the grilled fish, which had been totally soaked by the water.


    Yue An relieved his neck, however, he never expected that half of the Spirit Stone would bring such tremendous increase to his spells.


    He uncomfortably stepped on the ground in front of him, turned his head and gripped the fish that had been blown off by the water, neatly placed it in front of Ji Xiuyun.


    He sat behind fish, looked up at Marshal and cried ¡°Meow¡± deliberately, attempting to sneak through.


    Ji Xiuyun was actually not angry. This was no big deal. The little creature had saved his life, anyway.


    He just thought that this cute little cat looked quite interesting when pleading him.


    The new power that Yue An had just demonstrated had given rise to immense interest in the Marshal.


    Ji Xiuyun knew that it had a bad taste.


    Marshal Ji, wearing his usual indifferent face, gazed at the white fluffy cat silently for a minute. He then turned his eyes and put the abandoned grilled fish aside to start over grilling those three fish caught by Yue An, without saying a word.


    Yue An took a breath, relieved, and looked down at his paws. He was still shocked by the thunder just then.


    The hot temperature quickly dried their soaked bodies.


    The fish was grilled quickly.


    Looking at the three grilled fish, Yue An couldn¡¯t wait to eat. s?a??h th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    However, the second Yue An came over to the fish, the Marshal hung them up high.


    Yue An tried to reach out with his paws and found that it was way too high.


    Yue An looked with grievance filled eyes, cried, ¡°Meow.¡±


    When the Marshal heard the voice, he wanted to touch him, but his face remained calm and collected.


    He even offered a cruel choice ¨C ¡°This or Energy Crystal, which one would you prefer?¡±


    Yue An rounded up his eyes at Ji Xiuyun.


    Yue An jumped angrily Ji Xiuyun¡¯s legs and in the next second did not hesitate to show him his furry soft belly.


    Then he meowed softly but sweetly.

 Chapter 5

    Ji Xiuyun never expected, his teasing of this white furball would actually be reciprocated with the fluffy cat¡¯s  little tummy.The Marshal paused and, unable to resist, finally reached out for what appeared to be a soft looking belly.


    Yue An scratched him off.


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    The Marshal lowered his head to stare at the blue eyed feline, who was staring right back at his black ones. In the end he acted first, catching Yue An off guard by grabbing the paws still on the back of the Marshal¡¯s hand.


    He then expressionlessly started squeezing the soft pad on the paw.


    It was soft, warm and furry, this feeling was quite comfortable. The Marshal couldn¡¯t control himself and continued his attacks.


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    Yue An angrily pulled his paws back and turned around to cover his little exposed belly. He then settled on the Marshal¡¯s leg while staring at those three grilled fish.


    Ji Xiuyun felt the warmth radiated from the angry cat who was sitting on his lap, through his trousers. He was completely silent for a few seconds before suddenly saying, ¡°Let¡¯s make a deal, one fish in exchange for a piece of energy stone.¡±


    Yue An looked atJi Xiuyun, unbelievably.


    Looking at the feline¡¯s face full of complaint, the Marshal felt very pleased. Satisfied with his teasing, Ji Xiuyuan brought the grilled fish down and placed it in front of Yue An.


    Then with a straight face he continued, ¡°I am just kidding.¡±


    £¿£¿£¿£¿£¿


    £¿£¿£¿


    Yue An looked at Ji Xiuyun¡¯s straight laced face disbelieving and really wanted to scratch it off.


    But the bait was too good for him, so the cat chose to yield himself, even though he was in great fury.


    The Marshal looked at Yue An, who was engrossed in eating. Seeing this scene made him happy, so he grilled the rest of the four grilled fish and gave them all to Yue An.


    The cat stopped before having the last fish, turned around to look at the human who was staring at him supporting his face with his hands.


    Mr. Marshal asked, ¡°What?¡±


    Yue An pushed the last grilled fish towards him.


    Ji Xiuyun was kind of surprised, he never expected that even after all the teasing, the feline still wanted to spare him some food. He put out a finger and poked the cat on its head, ¡°You can eat it, I am not hungry.¡±


    With supplements the Marshal can go without food for a couple of days, all one fish would do was to satisfy his appetite.


    Ji Xiuyun was very glad to see that his barbecue was so well accepted, and he was not a person who would snatch away the food from the cat who saved his life.


    While watching the Marshal clean the utensils, Yue An finished the last grilled fish. He then went over and rubbed himself against the Marshal¡¯s feet before planting his front paws on the Marshal¡¯s long legs. This time he abandoned his previous strategy and, controlling his strength, directly climbed up the Marshal¡¯s pants.


    Suddenly being treated as a tree, the Marshal was shocked. He then put all utensils into the storage bag, reached out to support the cat who had just climbed up to his waist.


    ¡°Meow!¡± Yue An climbed along the human¡¯s arm and settled on the man¡¯s shoulder. He was not large in size, so he was quite steady on the Marshal¡¯s broad shoulders.


    The furry feel on his face caused Ji Xiuyun to freeze up for a moment, but he relaxed in a second.


    Yue An was feeling lazy and wanted a ride, which the Marshal took to mean that the meal he made for the other had conquered it.


    The Marshal thought as he walked, when he paused momentarily.


    He then realised, this small fluffy cat was not necessarily just an animal.


    Just for the record, what is an animal?


    Well broadly speaking, it is a heterotrophic organism made up of cells in a body.


    However, in the mankind¡¯s subjective point of view, animals are those creatures that do not have complex emotional perceptions and wisdom.


    The Marshal was shocked to realise that this white cat who had saved him had self-awareness and emotions.


    .


    !


    Ji Xiuyun came back to his senses and realised that the cat who was sitting on his shoulder, might not be an animal. It was more likely in the same class as the humans ¨C an intelligent being, standing on top of the ecological food chain.


    Thinking about what he had done to this feline, he fell into a complete silence.


    He might have, while knowing that this¡­ furball was his saviour, teased the other, ruffled his fur, and fed him several grilled fish as if he was a pet. Most importantly, he had shamelessly touched the cat at its most private parts.


    No wonder this cat had looked shocked beyond belief.


    The Marshal swore, he didn¡¯t have any intention of being a hooligan!


    He really just wanted to determine Yue An¡¯s sex in a scientific and rigorous manner!


    After all, in most animals, with the exception of during the special lactation period and during certain growth period, males tend to be more aggressive and territorial than females.


    With this the Marshal found himself an excuse without his expression even changing. He went back in pretending as if he knew nothing, as if nothing had happened. In long strides he crossed the field and returned to the safety cabin.


    Inside the cabin, after Yue An jumped from the Marshal¡¯s shoulder, the first thing he did was to go bring the half of the Spirit Stone he had placed in the corner with him to wait in front of the hidden cabinet.


    The Marshal did not hesitate, unlocking and taking another piece of Energy Crystal out and stuffing it into the furball¡¯s arms.


    Yue An happily started nibbling on the stones he was hugging.


    these two stones took him a whole day to finish.


    The next day, when Mr. Marshal opened his eyes, he found a fluffy white ball curled up next to his pillow.


    He also found that the cat would follow him everywhere. And if he wanted to do some work, he would be stopped by a very wistful looking eyes.


    Even thinking with his toe Ji Xiuyun knew that Yue An wanted to do something in exchange for more Spirit stones.


    Sort of like a ¡®Give and Take¡¯.


    But did Ji Xiuyun look like such a stupid human?!


    Of course not.


    He was not only  stupid, he was in fact quite clever.


    So he refused Yue An and said, ¡°The Spirit Stones are being used to power up the safety cabin.¡±


    Hearing this Yue An¡¯s ears drooped and it disappointedly meowed.


    ¡°I can give you whatever there is left after the rescue arrives.¡± That¡¯s what he said.


    Yue An¡¯s ears perked up and he looked up at Ji Xiuyun from his spot on the console.


    ¡°Little white, you¡­¡± The Marshal paused, and asked ¡°Would you like to go with me?¡±


    Yue An turned his head and was just about to agree when he realised the Marshal had not finished what he wanted to say.


    Sitting on the console, his vertical pupils that had dilated due to a lack of strong lighting was at the moment round and dark, surrounded by a ring of beautiful blue that made him appear naive and pure.


    ¡°You saved me, I should repay to you, but I can¡¯t stay here.¡±


    Ji Xiuyun made it very clear, no underplaying or concealment.


    ¡°You are very strong. Whether selflessly or selfishly I wish that you would follow me; I will take care of you and give you any amount of Spirit stones you want.¡±


    Mr. Marshal paused. His tone was still very calm and clear when he continued, ¡°If you don¡¯t wish to leave, I can arrange for someone to send you Spirit Stones regularly too.¡±


    Yue An didn¡¯t respond, he never expected to get such a reward.


    He could see that Ji Xiuyun had a lot of Spirit Stones, but he also could see that they were very important natural resources.


    In other words, they were definitely not cheap.


    Yue An actually didn¡¯t care much about having Ji Xiuyun.


    Losing the tail he had tried his best to keep was not something Yue An didn¡¯t prepare for. He still remembered, when he vowed not to make any contact with the humans, so he could be an immortal. The elderly in his clans had looked at him as if he was retarded.


    For Yue An losing the tail was as simple as ¡°Destiny should not be violated.¡±


    Anyways, for a nine-tailed cat, a new tail grows every twenty years. There was nothing to cultivate, nothing bad he needed to experience. Besides the disappointment, there was nothing in particular he felt about this loss.


    The nine-tailed cats¡¯ real ascension happened when they cultivated their mind through continuously losing their tail.


    At least the elders Yue An had met all assumed the air of calm typically found by those who had seen through the earthly world and gone through all sorts of hardships. They exuded divine airs, and it was only when they saw humans did their desire to go beat them up shed upon them some semblance of humanity.


    Yue An felt that he was quite lucky.


    Ji Xiuyun was willing to repay him and respect his wishes ¨C that was Ji Xiuyun having good character.


    Many humans would just make a wish and run away; a few greedy would want to catch a rare nine-tailed cat, keeping it around as if it was their own personal wishing well. S?a?ch* Th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Humans who sincerely were willing to repay them without thoughts for repercussions typically didn¡¯t have bad dispositions.


    Even those ancient nine-tailed cat would praise Ji Xuiyun for his nobility.


    Staying with such a human, although Yue An was not sure if it would be any good, but he knew it wouldn¡¯t be too bad.


    Yue An felt that it was very suitable for him to stay with Ji Xuiyun. At some point he could even go back to his clan and show off how good his new owner was.


    Yue An, who knew neither the identity of Ji Xiuyuan nor how much time had passed, looked up at the other, the tip of his tail swaying gently. He straightened and lifted his forelegs.


    He made a very common ¡®hug¡¯ pose.


    The Marshal was startled, ¡°Are you saying you would come with me?¡±


    ¡°Meow~¡± Yue An responded and lifted his forelegs up in the air higher.


    The Marshal looked at the small forelegs leaning towards him and, after a moment of thought, returned the gesture ¨C he too used his hands and gave the cat a high five.


    Yue An: £¿£¿£¿


    Who asked you to give me five!


    Couldn¡¯t you just use your hands and pick up this cute little cat?

 Chapter 6-1

    Once Yue An stopped his meddling behaviour, the Marshal was relieved to have everything back to normal.After ample sleep, Ji Xiuyun began to carefully organize the remaining materials in the safety cabin.


    He then started to rummage and verify all the materials present by comparing them with the screen displayed in front of him while Yue An was watching him, the cat couldn¡¯t help but let out a yawn before jumping out of the bed towards the door to scratch it.


    He turned his head and cried at Ji Xiuyun for a little attention ¡°Meow!¡±


    The Marshal glanced at him ¡°Want to go out?¡±


    Yue An watched Ji Xiuyun as he walked towards the door, the cat turned his little head in the direction the Marshal went. ¡°Meow!¡±


    Ji Xiuyun, just as he raised his hands to press the password on the machine, suddenly recalled something. But under the alert eyes of Yue An, the Marshal preferred keeping quiet and finally opened the door.


    Yue An slipped out the door and was out of sight in an instant.


    The Marshal opened and stood by the door for a while keeping a narrow space open.


    Just as he was about to ask what Yue An was up to, he realized that he couldn¡¯t hear any meow and the cat was long gone.


    A bit sullen, the Marshal kept on reorganizing the supplies while thinking how to get rid of their communication barrier. And since Yue An promised to follow him, he will take all the necessary measures needed to take care of the cat.


    It is really not possible to define the exact relationship between him and Yue An. Even if Yue An is a very intelligent creature, just like humans. His nature and habits are quite similar to that of an animal, making it difficult for Ji Xiuyun to give their relationship a proper name.


    The issue of them communicating  must be resolved.


    The Marshal took the task upon him and marked down all the matters needed to be resolved on the touch screen displayed on the wall.


    He had another issue that was lingering in his thought, that was to confirm what level and type of ability this cat was hiding, also wondering what made Yue An agree to come with him. He wanted to know if the cat was capable enough, could he fight alongside the Marshal on the battlefield.


    Even he could tell, this cat was something special. If others start to notice any abnormality, they would look for trouble, one after the other. So in conclusion, it was better to bring Yue An with him.


    He made a quick plan, after returning back to his kingdom, Emperor Star he would run a few genetics tests on Yue An and register the cat¡¯s gene into the star network database.


    With so many things in his hands, the Marshal quickly reviewed the list recorded on the memo and was back to check the supplies in no time.


    Just as Yue An returned, Ji Xiuyun checked his mailbox on the invisible tab, the inbox was empty. It seems that his teacher, Marshal Kevin has not replied yet.


    When Ji Xiuyun heard slight movement coming from outside, he turned off the tab and went to open the door. But as soon as he reached the door, he was greeted by a white furry paw trying to squeeze inside the room yet it was seen wriggling itself on the crack of the door.


    This scene almost made the Marshal laugh.


    Yue An who was busy outside the door sensed the footsteps from the inside, which immediately made him retract his paws and plead Ji Xiuyun to let him in. ¡°Meow!¡± ¡°Meow!¡±


    Looking at the poor cat, Ji Xiuyun opened the door.


    As soon as Yue An walked in, he picked up the spice bag and walked back towards the door. He then went back and stuck his claws out to clasped himself onto the Marshal¡¯s trousers.


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    The Marshal looked down at the small cat, and the cat, in the same manner, looked up at the giant Marshal.


    Without asking, this time the Marshal knew, so didn¡¯t wait for the cat and asked, ¡°Want to eat barbecue?¡±


    Yue An rubbed himself happily on the man trousers ¡°Meow~¡±


    When the Marshal asked such a question, he didn¡¯t think much and just wanted to satisfy the cat¡¯s appetite. He had already finished managing all the inventory work and was already prepared for his daily exercise, so had nothing much to do.,


    He put on his oxygen mask, took out the necessary tools and followed Yue An out. When they arrived at the pond, Yue An put the spice bag down and enthusiastically scratched the Marshal¡¯s long leg.


    When Ji Xiuyun looked around, all he saw was dead animal splattered all around the pond, their meat separated from their bone


    No wonder, Yue An was out for so long, he most likely went to prepare this feast.


    He looked around all the animals, one that could fly, run or swim, all dead and were perfectly deboned.


    ¡°This one.¡±


    The Marshal picked up a bird that was often cooked in every household and was ready to cook. The meat, if cooked in medium rare, was quite delicious in taste. Whether it was stewed or fried, the taste was always on point.


    But these birds usually inhabit the woods.


    While this area may be desolated with barren grassland. S?a?ch* Th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    ¡°Where is it from?¡± he asked while cleaning all the blood of the meat with water.


    Yue An stretched his paws and pointed towards the south, ¡°Meow!¡±


    ¡°Lead me there after eating.¡± Marshal said.


    ¡°Meow!¡± Yue An shook his tail in excitement while watching Ji Xiuyun¡¯s skillful movements.


    ¡°You will follow anyone that will give you food, won¡¯t you?¡± The Marshal took out the roasted bird and teased the cat. He watched the way that Yue An moved about anxiously. Then he murmured to himself, ¡°Well, maybe no one can beat me when it¡¯s about craftsmanship.¡±


    Surely, he was bragging about his skills in front of the barbecue.


    After Yue An heard those words, he realized that he was lured by the food and how crafty Ji Xiuyun was as a person!


    He would never admit that the fault lied in his love for food. He happily bit the bird and threw all the responsibility toward the Marshal, who was cooking the next meat carefully beside him.


    To help with digestion, after dinner he followed the Marshal to wander into the woods.


    Yue An stopped halfway to look up at the sky.


    The gray sky was a little dull and the air was getting heavier by the time.


    Ji Xiuyun also noticed the change in the air. ¡°Is it going to rain?¡±


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    It was far more than that.


    The rainy season was right around the corner.


    The seasonal cycle of this planet was very peculiar.  The dry seasons are quite dry and the rainy seasons can be terribly wet.


    During the heavy rain, Yue An used to have a nest high up the slope but now was annihilated. Now, the only safe place left for them was the safety cabin.


    The stormy season was just about to start and if the safety cabin is left at the same place, they would be able to enjoy the otherworldly beauty of being underwater.


    So when the first drop of rain fell on the ground, it symbolized that it was the end of the dry seasons. Both Yue An and Ji Xiuyun returned to the cabin, opened the vane and flew over the dry forest towards safer ground


    The most suitable place for landing detected by AI in the safety cabin was at the trunk of a tree-covered with branches.


    The Marshal simply handed the task to the AI. He gazed at Yue An, who piled a whole lot of dirty blossoms onto his pillow.


    ¡°White.¡± Ji Xiuyun suddenly reached out and lifted the little cat and walked towards the console. He then took out a chair and let Yue An sit on it, then asked ¡°Do you know this word?¡±


    Yue An turned his head and glanced at the characters on the screen, and was stunned to find himself to be an illiterate.


    The expression on Yue An¡¯s face revealed everything.


    The Marshal, holding the cat, pressed the buttons on the console and started teaching Yue An one by one.


    Yue An recalled his fear of being thrown in a classroom full of children by his own predecessor when both the species started being tolerant towards each other.

 Chapter 6-2

    Ji Xiuyun soon noticed that Yue An was not interested in learning but he was being very patient. He said, ¡°Your real name is not White.Feeling that they were connecting, Yue An¡¯s ear started to tingle a bit. Suddenly revived, he found his lost spirit back again.


    ¡°These three mean Ji.¡±


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    ¡°The pronunciation is¡­¡±


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    ¡°Well, next¡­¡±


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    Nowadays, Yue An would waste his spiritual power every few hours just to take advantage of biting into the spirit stones, he couldn¡¯t help but wrap himself up in the warmth aura the stones pour out.


    Ji Xiuyun would wear his waterproof suit every day to go out and confirm that the water level was safe.


    Both the man and the cat were locked inside the cabin due to the non-stop heavy rain, so now they had plenty of time to learn and so their progress was swift. S?a?ch* Th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Over the past few days, Yue An discovered that the temperament of Ji Xiuyun was quite good even though he may appear to be a bit aloof.


    But on the other hand when Ji Xiuyun would discover about the cat he would take out his notebook, specifically dedicated to records the habits of Yue An.


    For instance, the cat¡¯s cleanliness, or if he was spitting the hairy balls. He would also record how occasionally Yue An would count his eight tails and after finishing his counts he would hide the seven others, leaving only one tail visible and resentfully shrinking into a ball.


    Yue An likes to sleep in especially warm places, would chase after his own tail, and his enthusiasm to catch anything that moves.


    But what surprised Ji Xiuyun the most was the abilities that Yue An possessed.


    Yue¡¯an¡¯s ability ranged from digging a pit to setting fire, from knocking over the water or blowing the wind. Yue An could even merge thunderbolts and icicles, which created several deep paw prints on the wall of the cabin. They were all marked by his uncontrollable strength.


    Every time Ji Xiuyun saw paw prints, he felt that he really needed to appreciate the fact that Yue An didn¡¯t kill him.


    Yue An never tried to attack him, and if he was angry he would pat the Marshal with his paws or turn his butt against him rather than using his abilities.


    The Marshal moved his eyes from the paw prints, turned his head and looked at Yue An, who was patting his hand.


    Yue An watched the Marshal, turned his head and pressed a few buttons on the console.


    Marshal looked over, ¡°¡­Yue?¡±


    ¡°Meow.¡± Yue An pressed a few other keys.


    ¡°An?¡±


    The little white cat swayed his tail happily, ¡°Meow!¡±


    ¡°Yue An?¡± Ji Xiuyun doubted, but he confirmed himself in two seconds. ¡°Is that your name?¡±


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    Marshal Ji licked his lips, squinted his eyes which appeared to be fierce, but reluctantly revealed an expression, which was supposed to be a smile.


    Then reached out and patted Yue An¡¯s head.


    Yue An let the Marshal touch him for a while, then jumped off the console, walked towards the small cabinet to get the spice bag, and scratched the door.


    Unfortunately, Ji Xiuyun told him: ¡°All the spices were used up.¡±


    ¡±¡­?¡±


    As if struck by lightning, Yue An turned his head and looked at the. Marshal, who was inserting the chip in front of the console, and cried fiercely ¡°Meow.¡±


    Yue An sat in front of the cabinet, dispirited, and so curled into a ball.


    Ji Xiuyun had the habit of checking the news in his invisible tab, and after completing his verification, he walked to Yue An, gently poked the cat, ¡°There is still some food left.¡±


    Yue An looked up at him.


    In fact, apart from nutrients, the safety cabin was stored with dozens of compressed fast foods which tasted pretty good.


    These foods were stored in order to uplift the pessimistic thought of an escaping personnel in the cabin. After all, in the face of difficulties, the delicacy could make a person feel a bit better.


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    Yue An placed his paws on the knees of the Marshal and pleaded with his two shiny eyes.


    Ji Xiuyun got up, and just when he was about to take out the food, he saw a message appear on the screen.


    That was his OTP.


    The Marshal suddenly got up, noted the OTP and then deleted the message and pulled out his chip. He then opened the communication system of the safety cabin and entered the verification code.


    Yue An, who was laying in front of the cabinet, looked at the Marshal, who had promised to get food but was engaged in other business, so he mumbled, climbed and walked over him.


    The person at the other end of the communication port seemed to have waited for a long time, and the screen was turned on as soon as the verification was sent.


    The person that appeared on the screen was Ji Xiuyun¡¯s assistant.


    He was excited, to the point where his face was almost plastered to the screen. ¡°Marshal! How are you doing?¡±


    Yue An, on hearing this, went to the side of Ji Xiuyun¡¯s leg and looked up at him.


    He obviously felt that Ji Xiuyun as a person has changed.


    His whole body was changed, from the scent of leisure, it was replaced by a spine chilling cold air, making Yue An¡¯s whole body stiff frozen.


    The person in front very much deserved the title of a Marshal.


    Ji Xiuyun seemed to be around thirty, young and energetic, totally different from the typical image of a Marshal who was basically middle-aged in Yue¡¯an¡¯s impression.


    It turned out that, during the decades he was gone, the earth has not only developed new words but also entered the new era of the universe, but the highest ranks were so unremarkable.


    Yue An shook his body to smoothen out the erected hair, then pulled out his claws and started climbing the Marshal


    The assistant behind the screen was still inquiring.


    ¡°What injuries do you have? Do you need a medic? Replenishment? How is the environment there, is it safe? Is the remaining material in the cabin sufficient? And¡­¡±


    Marshal Ji did not answer. He noticed the movement of the little cat on his leg, picked it up and placed the cat on the console. Then interrupted the deputy¡¯s words, in his cold voice ¡°Position.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Sir! The first legion is currently stationed at the Thirteenth Star, the capital star!¡± The assistant reflexively straightened his back. The next second he gazed at the white cat who was sitting on the console, his face full of curiosity and doubt.


    The Marshal who was not ready to answer his questions, directly ordered ¡°Dismiss the whole army camp, return back to the Emperor Star, and send a D-class survey ship when passing through the 22nd planet of S13 galaxy.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Sir!¡±


    ¡°Also,¡± Mr. Marshal glanced at Yue An, who tilted his head and looked at the screen, his tail swaying behind the Marshal, added: ¡°Prepare some snacks on the battleship and put them directly in my bedroom.¡±


    When he finished his command, the marshal hung up.


    Deputy¡± ? ?¡±


    Deputy¡± ? ?¡±


    The deputy was instantly scared.

 Chapter 7-1

    Ephemeris 2017, 2nd of November.Within the Hintas Empire, which owns the No.18 Greater Galaxy, has the most abundant materials in the proven universe, and has tens of thousands of inhabitable planets, there, big news occurred!


    The youngest of the three major marshals of the Empire, Marshal Ji Xiuyun, was raided on the way of inspection and was untold up till now!


    Once the news was issued, it immediately attracted attention from all parties.


    Ji Xiuyun is a general who is seen in a favourable perspective by the whole empire.


    He is young, promising and of extremely high military literacy. He is a good blade for the Empire to expand their territory. He has yielded one galaxy for the empire, known as the silver blade goddess of the Hintas.


    Most importantly, in the era of the greater universe, human beings share an average life expectancy of more than three hundred years. Marshal Ji had just turned 90-year-old, he was in his prime and had a very bright future and prospects.


    Under the pressure of the public, the military department had been silent for two days and finally could not stand it. A news officer was sent to respond to the rumours, however, since there was no evidence to prove that the Marshal had already been sacrificed, also a small group of the military was sent in the search and rescue towards the star where the marshal went missing.


    Although the military has made such remarks, the people didn¡¯t hope for much.


    After all, the official said that the place where the raid occurred was near the border of the Main Star of the Thirteenth cosmos, and somewhere between the place before entering the atmosphere of the Main Star.


    In other words, Marshal Ji was missing in the universe ahead of entering an inhabitable planet for humans.


    Missing in the universe, despite the various radiation problems when the protective suit was not worn, the vacuum can be a major threat to kill a person in just a few minutes.


    Even Marshal Ji, whose genetic level seems to be extremely high, also the commander of the ¡°Troops of God of the War¡±, cannot change the fact that human beings are very vulnerable in the cosmic environment.


    In the entire Hintas Empire, the girls who admired the hero and were holding an idol like feelings were caught in the dark clouds of gloom.


    On the social platform of the Star Network, someone had even lit the candles to this excellent general who was very likely sacrificed in the universe.


    The military was overwhelmed by these groups of people who were being so pessimistic!


    The Marshal was not sacrificed yet!


    The body has not been found yet!


    Why can¡¯t they expect something good out of it!


    The confidence of the military was quickly broken only after one day.


    Now, the media had sent out reports that were even crazier.


    The fifth search and rescue team detected an abnormal gravity field at the border of 10th Galaxy!


    The first search and rescue team recovered the remains of the spacecraft at the border of the 10th Galaxy, inspected the materials on the spot, and identified that it was the propeller ruins of the ¡°God of War¡± spaceship of Marshal Ji!


    The eighth search and rescue team found the armour fragments on the edge of the Tenth Galaxy and confirmed that it was the main energy source body of the Marshal¡¯s armour ¡°Silver Blade¡±!


    The sixth team found the main body of the armour ¡°Silver Blade¡± on the edge of the 10th Galaxy, with a damage level of 93%!


    The third team successfully recovered the main body of the spaceship ¡°God of War¡± on the border of the 10th Galaxy, with a damage degree of 70%. The body of the two guardians of the Marshal was found in the cabin!


    Such news was passed back in succession, and the shadows that shrouded in the hearts of the people became more and more intense.


    The thin thread of confidence within the military¡¯s heart, who were still holding the ideas of luck, was broken into pieces.


    Until the fifth day, the military received a message from the fourth search and rescue team through the internal contact of the military department, their hearts again restored the expectation of miracles. S?a??h th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The fourth team said that they searched for the remaining parts of the ¡°God of War¡± where the safety compartment was placed. After the data was repaired, the six safety compartments above all showed a status of safe escape.


    Even if, currently there is no discovery of the body of the Marshal, but there was still hope.


    After a week of intense search and rescue, the military department of the Emperor Star received the news from the first legion patrolling with the Marshal.


    Marshal was discovered and it was confirmed that he was in good status. Now the whole army has drawn up the camp and will return to the Emperor Star along with the Marshal in three days!


    The military department was finally relieved, and on the second day, they were finally able to talk to the Marshal who had disappeared for almost a week.


    A critical member of Ji Xiuyun¡¯s troop who waited for a long time and reported the situation of the internal bureau after he disappeared.


    ¡°If possible, after you arrive at the Emperor Star, we wish you could show up in front of the media.¡± The military news officer looked at the projection in front of him and couldn¡¯t help but be nervous.


    ¡°Okay.¡± The Marshal on the projection nodded, his voice was indifferent as if a piece of ice that had never been melted for a thousand years.


    Different from the state of being peaceful and relaxed in front of Yue An, his face was too cold. When Ji Xiuyun was with the white cat alone, he just habitually stretched his face but didn¡¯t expose too much of his emotions.


    But in front of his peers and the public, he has always been firm and stern.


    The Empire needs a sharp blade, the army needs a pillar, and the people need a road mark.


    Someone needs to stand on the top, stand in the forefront, to lead them, protect them and give them a sense of security.


    That¡¯s the role Ji Xiuyun has as the Marshal.


    The golden age of Marshal Kevin has passed, his physical condition is declining, and Ji Xiuyun was seen as the successor that everyone is optimistic about.


    So he must be sharp, tough, and fierce.


    This kind of energy, even if it is separated by a vast amount of time and space, even if it¡¯s just a projection, made the military officers who have no battlefield fighting experience tremble their legs.


    After a brief exchange, the Marshal took the lead in cutting off the communication.


    The press officer sighed for a long time and eased his emotions for a while and without a pause, prepared to hold a press conference.


    The missing Marshal of the Empire was not sacrificed, he will return, with the intact army!


    This news excited the people, the media swarmed out and spent the whole day waiting in the vicinity of the address given by the military.


    The Marshal, who was eagerly awaited by the people, was now undergoing a physical examination on his own battleship.


    No one knows what Ji Xiuyun has experienced. They only know that the raid caused the Marshal to disappear, the battleship and the mech was of heavy loss, and they lost the lives of two guards.


    Everyone was ready for the Marshal¡¯s either to die in serious injury or even be sacrificed, but no one expected that Ji Xiuyun was in good condition when he sent the newsletter. When he was picked up by the surveillance ship, he was even more energetic than before and there was nothing wrong with him.


    For the medical soldiers responsible for the body checking of the Marshal, they were amazed.


    The dark wounds and old diseases on Ji Xiuyun¡¯s body were gone, and the whole body was completely replenished.


    If not all the authentication procedures prove that this was the Marshal himself, the medical personnel who came to check almost doubted that their beloved Marshal had been replaced.

 Chapter 7-2

    Those who fought on the battlefield, few of them had no old injuries.Ji Xiuyun, who was called the ¡®Silver Blade- God of War¡¯, although may have high genetic innate optimization level, or has high mental strength, he cannot avoid this inevitable consequence of war.


    But after recurrence, Ji Xiuyun¡¯s body was perfectly restored to the peak of his genetic level!


    In the medical room, the medical soldiers repeatedly checked the returned Marshal many times, and finally had to admit that the previous judgment was not wrong.


    ¡°Marshal, what have you encountered? Your body¡­¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Ji Xiuyun responded, wore the general suit, sat up and looked at the small white cat that came in from the cracks in the door.


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    Yue An jumped into bed, squatting on the leg of Ji Xiuyun, popping his nails, and scratched the corner of the mattress on the bed to express dissatisfaction.


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    `¡±Meow meow meow!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± The Marshal bowed his head and looked at the little guy for two seconds, and understood what he meant. He explained, ¡°I have to get checked.¡±


    Yue An scratched the mattress again. ¡± Meow!¡±


    Yue An thought, angrily scratched the mattress.


    The two medical soldiers looked at the angry white cat and were a little worried that the little guy who would be killed for the next second. Who doesn¡¯t know that Marshal Ji is a cold-blooded killer?!


    But the facts are quite different from what they had imagined. Under the horrified gaze of the two medical soldiers, the Marshal hugged the small cat and said, ¡°I won¡¯t do it next time.¡±


    Yue An does not say a word.


    The cat¡¯s beautiful eyes shrank into a thin line under the bright light of the medical room, and at first glance, it was full of life and beautiful light blue.


    The Marshal then glanced at the two medical soldiers standing by the side, putting the white cat on his shoulders and went out.


    Yue An was uncomfortable with the badges on the jacket of Ji Xiuyun¡¯s uniform but still knew that the man had to save his face as a Marshal.


    So when he left the medical room, he stuck his paws in the face of Ji Xiuyun, then slipped into his jacket impolitely, and reached out his head from the chest of Ji Xiuyun.


    ¡°¡­Sorry.¡± Ji Xiuyun also realized that not everyone was as comfortable as he was while facing an unfamiliar environment.


    What¡¯s more that this little guy who he brought out from the parent star, Yue An seems to have not yet reached adulthood.


    ¡°What about a piece of Energy Crystal as compensation?¡± He reached out and touched the head of Yue An, scratching the small chin then he looked up and said, ¡°Also snacks.¡±


    The Marshal spent quite a few days learning the perfect way to stroke the chin. The small cat who felt comfortable in his arms narrowed his eyes, and even his ears slammed down, made a snoring voice, sounding extremely cool.


    The touch under the hand was very soft, fluffy, and filled with warmth.


    The Marshal patted for a while and let it go. Yue An shook his ears and looked up at Ji Xiuyun.


    ¡°Meow!¡±


    Yue An thought, sticking out his claws from under the jacket to reach the hand that the Marshal had just put down.


    Obviously he still wanted Ji Xiuyun to continue scratching at his chin.


    However, the Marshal gently held his paws and looked coldly at the soldiers who came from the corner.


    These soldiers were stunned.


    Then instantly saluted: ¡°Marshal!¡±


    Ji Xiuyun gently nodded and then walked past them.


    The little head of Yue An has been licking the left chest of their military uniform, and the beautiful blue eyes were dilated.


    After the soldiers were out from his view, Yue An turned his head and glanced at the sign on the left chest of Jiu Xiuyun.


    While Yue An guessed, his sensitive ears caught the little conversations of the soldiers.


    ¡°Is this ¡®the little creature¡¯ that is unrecognizable in the science class?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I heard that he ran from the cockpit and didn¡¯t have time to see it. I didn¡¯t expect to meet it here.¡±


    ¡°It looks pretty cute.¡±


    ¡°Sort of followed the Marshal.¡±


    ¡°Joke, you say he has followed you, not Marshal?¡±


    Yue¡¯an ¡°¡­¡±


    The small ears of Yue An shivered, feeling so happy to have heard to the praises from human beings.


    Ji Xiuyun took Yue An through the wide and bright pathway on the battleship and returned to his room.


    The door was opened and snacks in a box could be seen at a glance.


    He took Yue An out of his arms, but did not open the snacks, but directly carried him to the washroom.


    One man and one cat are facing the mirror in the washroom.


    Yue An looked, blankly.


    For a long while, the Marshal slightly raised his eyebrows, looking at the dark black uniform in the mirror and the white-haired Yue An.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t we a good match?¡±


    The Marshal thought, confidently.


    Yue An, ¡° ¡­¡±


    Do you think a cute cat, like me, be a match to your usual indifferent face? Are you really that unaware?


    ¡°I think we are quite good.¡± As if sensing the idea in Yue An¡¯s silence, the Marshal asked calmly, ¡°Yue An, what do you think?¡±


    Yue An shook his tail, bowed his head and licked his paws.


    ¡°A piece of Energy Crystal.¡± Marshal said.


    Yue An paused ¡° ¡­¡±


    Marshal without any reaction, added ¡°Two?¡± S?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    Yue An looked up at him.


    ¡°Three?¡± The Marshal looked at Yue An and stretched his hand towards the cat and asked, ¡°Are we a match or not?¡±


    Yue An moved cleanly and directly, and placed his paws on the palm of Ji Xiuyun, unhesitating and bowed to the Spirit Stone.


    ¡°Meow!¡±

 Chapter 8-1

    Although the medical soldier repeatedly guaranteed that the Marshal¡¯s both spirit and mind were all normal, the generals of the First Legion who served as captains on various frigates still all required the Marshal to rest one day.Marshal stayed in his room with Yue¡¯an all day.


    Besides his room, they had nowhere to go anyways. After they returned to the battleship, they directly opened the wormhole. Now the entire fleet has entered the wormhole passage.


    After a day, the fleet will leave from the wormhole exit near the Emperor Star, entering the gravitational channel of the Emperor Star for the final landing.


    Yue An was seen sprawled on the Marshal¡¯s legs, holding and biting the Spirit Stone.


    Even though Yue An was supposed to be a monster, but physically being a cat, he preferred and is accustomed to finding a warm place to nap


    The spacecraft was kept at a constant temperature. There aren¡¯t any special places that are warm. Therefore, the most common place to stay for Yue An is in the Marshal¡¯s lap and inside the covers of the Marshal¡¯s bed.


    Healthy people are always warm. In the words of the elders of the family, they are full of Yang energy. (According to traditional Chinese medicine, all things are made up of two opposite materials, Yang, phonetically the sun, something bright, upright, while Yin, stands for the moon, wet, and cold.).


    Ji Xiuyun is the type with rich Yang energy-although his aloof and ever unchanging face always made people feel cold, but the cat loved the warmth produced from his body.


    The Marshal did not show any politeness to the generals. He took a rest and stayed in his room all day. And watched Yue An gnawing at the energy stone, and after finishing the energy stone, he went to unpack those big boxes of snacks..


    Ji Xiujun found joy in secretly feeding Yue An.


    Xiaomaotuan is holding his hands and eating with two claws¡­how warm.


    Whether it¡¯s the feeling of the little tongue licking the finger, the feeling of the palm touching the soft little belly, or the feeling of the padded two claws touching the skin, it makes people feel naturally carefree and happy.


    Yue An, who was fed, also felt as if he was in heaven.


    One feeds him, raises him, and warms his bed, and sometimes lets him sleep on their thighs, which is even more beautiful!


    Although he always took advantage of someone touching his small belly, it didn¡¯t matter, his food was always so delicious!


    Thinking that he should be able to eat more delicious food after returning to the earth, Yue An can¡¯t help but raise his tail up into the sky!


    Early the next morning, Yue An lifted his small head from the warm bed, looked up, only to see the Marshal who was already dressed and sitting upright in the chair.


    Yue An moved stealthily, but in a quiet room, it was quite obvious.


    Ji Xiujun turned his head to look at the cat and said, ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡±


    ¡°Meow¡­¡± Yue An cried softly, climbed out of the bed, and sat on the quilt, stretching his paws and started to lick them.


    The Marshal has been used to it by now while sleeping every night, a small cat would secretly arch into the bed.


    When they were in the safe cabin, he scolded Yue An several times, but in any case, Yue An broke the rule repeatedly. Shamefully, Ji Xiujun had to choose to bow down to this fluffy cat.


    Till this day, he was getting used to saying good night and good morning to Yue An, who climbs into his bed every time.


    After finishing licking his hairy paws, Yue An turned his head and rushed towards the snack box that had not been finished, pulled out a new bag held in his mouth, and sat beside the foot of the Marshal.


    Unexpectedly, Ji Xiujun refused to feed him.


    ¡°Not today.¡±The Marshal gently tapped the translucent panel that appeared in front of him. ¡°Later on, there is a meeting.¡±


    Several generals on the warship sent some important reports as the military outline and information for this day to the Marshal.


    Those reports were simple and straightforward, and that was the infamous neat military style in writing.


    The Marshal sat in front of the desk in his bedroom and looked at the virtual files seen to be floating mid-air.


    Yue An still doesn¡¯t quite understand the human language. He jumped on the table with the snack bag, stretched out his paws and tried to catch the floating files. Discovering that it was nothing but a holographic projection, he stopped playing and boringly returned back to his own space. Comfortably sitting on the Marshal¡¯s lap, he yawned.


    The Marshal¡¯s military uniform was a dignified pitch black, the edges of the buckle and cuffs were covered with dazzling gold.


    The decoration from the centre of the military cap to the brim looked like a certain kind of flower. The pure gold and the bright red weaved together. It was quite beautiful. The slings that hung on the backside of the chair were also decorated with golden tassels, which were hanging on both sides and attracted the cat¡¯s eyes.


    Yue An with his tail swaying excitedly was watching the tassels but before he could try and claw them, Ji Xiujun calmly stood up.


    He gently put Yue An on the table and looked down at the cat who was looking up at him from the table. He thought for a while and took out an energy stone from the side of the cabinet, and gave it to Yue An.


    He needed to go to the conference room of the main ship but it was better for Yue An to stay in the room and enjoy the energy stone.


    One could easily get lost in this huge warship and searching for them could be a tedious task.


    And the most important task of finding the spy couldn¡¯t be done during his disappearance for a few days.


    At least from the reports that were sent today, it seems that there is still one mole perfectly hidden in the warship.


    ¡°Wait here and don¡¯t go out.¡± Ji Xiujun said, realizing that nobody could come in except for him and his deputy. He paused and opened the drawer and took out a small rhombus-shaped decor.


    The main body of this accessory was a beautiful crystal sapphire, which was much deeper in colour than the eyes of Yue An. The gemstone tray was grey and was perfect in the sense of artificial mechanism. Both the accessory and the tray complimented each other.


    This decoration was very small, just slightly larger than the thumbnail. Looking at it, it seems to be a pendant as it had a necklace attached to it.


    But from the size one could clearly see, it was made for humans.


    Ji Xiujun took the necklace and forcibly rounded it up, he put it on the cat, ¡°Hang it up.¡±


    Yue An, wanting to refuse, turned his head to avoid the hands of Ji Xiujun.


    ¡°Communicator.¡± The Marshal simply explained, after perfectly pressing the sapphire in the middle, and so, a communication request popped out in front of the cat.


    Looking at the screen, Yue An suddenly stopped resisting and stretched out his head. S?a??h the N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    The milky white hair covered the thin chain, leaving only the small pendant in front of the chest that was slightly swaying.


    ¡°Well, I am going to attend the meeting.¡± the Marshal said while scratching the chin of Yue An.
