The Last Cat in the Universe
Chapter 13
Ji Xiuyun didn't take it to heart, although he felt a little embarrassed.
However, Yue An couldn't turn into a human.
… No, it could.
Yue An shrank its neck and felt a little guilty.
Marshal scrolled to the top of the page, "Do you want to accept it?"
"Meow!" Yue An held Marshal's hand with its two paws and pressed the "Accept" button.
The marshal paused for a moment and held the cat's little paw and rubbed it twice.
It learned the word "Accept" so quickly.
Ji Xiuyun felt that his cat had just grown up.
He even forgot that Yue An had finished more than ten pages of the vocabulary book.
Marshal glanced at the camera on the table and put Yue An aside. He got up and went upstairs to get the optical computer. Before he left, he picked up the audio book and put it on Yue An, who was lying on the sofa, "Continue to study."
Yue An, who was waiting to be rubbed, was speechless.
You!!!
How could there be a cat?!
Yue An crawled out from under the book and kicked it aside unhappily. After finishing the rest of the snacks in one breath, he lay down lazily and rolled a few rounds on the sofa, rolling all the way to the ground with the soft sofa cushion.
When Ji Xiuyun came downstairs with the optical computer, he saw a ball of cat curls.
Yue An stuck its head out of the curls and stared at him. It then rolled two more times.
Marshal was speechless.
It was really stupid.
Yue An didn't feel stupid at all. Instead, it felt very happy.
It didn't want to study.
Studying made cats thin.
Curly the Mexican cat meowed at the marshal as a greeting, then rolled to the side of the floor-to-ceiling window. Under the sunlight, he closed his eyes and snuggled into the warm and soft curls. He was so comfortable that his ears were pressed down.
Cats were creatures that could sleep for 16 hours a day. Out of the 16 hours, they would only enter deep sleep for 4 hours. The rest of the time, they would just take a nap.
Yue An felt that it should maintain its habits and dignity as a cat. It should be a cute cat that snored lazily under the sun.
Marshal watched Yue An roll on the sofa and fall asleep quickly. He was silent for a while. He didn't bring the cat back and ask him to study hard every day.
Yue An liked to take a nap in a warm place, and he was very clear about this habit.
Marshal silently turned the doorbell to silent mode. The doorbell lit up as soon as he did so.
He opened the door and gently moved the package into the living room. The sound of him opening the box was so soft that it was hard to hear..
Inside the package were the logs and pure natural herbal paint that the marshal had spent a lot of money to buy.
The wood had a very light fragrance that was very comfortable to smell.
The wood Ji Xiuyun bought was called calming wood. It was very expensive. Most of the time, it was used by people with severe insomnia.
The natural fragrance of the wood had the effect of calming the mind. It was a blessing from heaven for people with insomnia. For ordinary people, it could calm the mind and was also very helpful in stabilizing the mind.
However, the calming wood grew in a very strict environment. It had extremely high requirements for its growing environment. Thus, it hadn't been able to be planted in a large area. As a result, its price was very high.
Marshal would go to a house made of calming wood in his army base every time before he went to the battlefield. He would stay there for two or three days to clear his mind and adjust his state of mind. He was very familiar with the effects of the wood.
Ji Xiuyun bought this wood because he thought that since Yue An liked to sleep, it would be very comfortable to sleep on the calming wood.
With this thought in mind, the marshal, who didn't even have a tranquil wood bed, ordered a pile of logs and prepared to make a cat tree with tranquil wood as the main body for Yue An.
Even the glue and paint were natural products that exuded the faint fragrance of flowers and plants.
Marshal's hands-on skills were inversely proportional to his drawing skills.
The more crooked the lines he drew, the more clean he was when he cut the wood.
He was confident and smooth.
The advantage of the great leap in technology was that this kind of work could be done quietly and wouldn't disturb other people's rest.
The seasons in the capital of Planet Sintes didn't change much.
There were 28 hours a day and more than 16 hours of sunshine.
The sun didn't move very fast, but Marshal was so engrossed in his work that he didn't notice the passage of time.
When the main body of the cat tree was finally built, Ji Xiuyun was finally willing to raise his head from his work. The sunlight in the house had moved a lot.
Marshal watched the Mexican cat roll around in a daze and put himself back into the sunlight.
He even kicked his legs. His nails stretched out unconsciously in his sleep and broke the sofa cushion that was wrapped around him.
Ji Xiuyun was speechless.
He probably meant to buy another sofa cushion.
It seemed that he had to add a plan to take Yue An to test his strength level.
The marshal added this line to the memo. Then, he looked up at the time and immersed himself in the production again.
Ji Xiuyun's spiritual power level was very high. He was surrounded by the peacewood for a whole afternoon, but he wasn't affected at all.
On the other hand, Yue An, the little furball, had kicked the sofa cushion into pieces and was lying on the soft carpet with his little belly spread out. He was sleeping with his limbs in the air.
Ji Xiuyun's work efficiency was very high. When he saw that the sun was about to set, he finally completed the last step.
The super luxurious, furry cat tree exuded the fragrance of calming wood and flowers. It was eight meters wide and one and a half meters high. There were tunnels, small holes, square fake boxes, and several disc-shaped cat nests. There were many plush toys hanging on the cat tree, occupying most of the wall of the living room, and part of it extended to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Marshal was very satisfied. He turned his head and woke the kitten up.
Yue An turned over in a daze, hugged the big hand that was disturbing him with all four paws, and opened his eyes with difficulty.
He yawned and showed his white jade-like sharp teeth, "Meow …"
Ji Xiuyun picked him up and scratched his chin, "Look."
Yue An turned his head, and the next second, he opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"Do you like it?" Marshal pinched his cheek.
Yue An hugged Ji Xiuyun's hand with both paws, patted the back of his hand with his paws, and looked very excited.
"Meow!"
Are you an angel?
You must be an angel!
Yue An was held in the air, kicking his legs. He couldn't wait to play!
Marshal pinched his paws again. Looking at Yue An's excited face, he asked him, "Is it exactly the same as the design?"
Yue An, "..."
I hope you wake up and don't run away from reality.
The marshal's emotionless eyes looked at the blue sky of the cat's eyes. "Hmm?"
Yue An rubbed against him and said coquettishly, "Meow …"
Ji Xiuyun didn't continue with his pranks. Instead, he looked at the time.
"We'll play when we come back," he said, "I'll take you out for dinner."
Yue An's eyes lit up, and he jumped onto Marshal's shoulder without hesitation and rubbed his face.
Marshal didn't change out of his military uniform, and he didn't bring any bodyguards with him. Instead, he left with Yue An, who was more powerful than ten bodyguards.
It was Yue An's first time carefully observing the situation in this era.
When they drove back to Ji Xiuyun's house, they took a special military road, and there was no one around. Now that they were on a civilian road, there were all kinds of cars shuttling back and forth on the ground and in the air.
The road on the ground was still there, but the air was divided into several tracks from top to bottom. Although it was called a track, it was actually just a translucent line with flashing indicator lights.
There were a total of six such thin lines, and the air above the road was divided into six separate driving lanes that didn't interfere with each other.
The cars running on the ground and flying in the air were busy, but they were all orderly.
Yue An squatted on the dashboard in front of the window and curiously looked at the cars that occasionally flew over their heads.
Marshal glanced at the dashboard and chose track number one without hesitation. Then, he turned on autopilot.
Yue An watched as the car that he and Marshal were in floated up and slowly rose to the highest level of the track.
There were very few cars on this track, and Yue An felt that this was probably a track that only the privileged could use.
After all, this was an empire, so there were naturally many places that reflected the uniqueness of the aristocrats.
Yue An leaned against the window and looked out. His eyes were filled with curiosity.
Every time he saw something new, Yue An felt that humans were really amazing.
Because humans walked slowly, they learned how to domesticate horses.
Because horses weren't comfortable, they invented carriages.
Because carriages were bumpy, they invented cars.
Because humans wanted to soar into the sky, they conquered the sky.
Because they wanted to explore the bottom of the sea, they went deep into the blue sky.
Now, human beings had already stepped into the boundless universe that many monsters had avoided during the Age of Doom.
Yue An had heard from the great seniors in his race that after humans occupied the living space above ground, technology would inevitably replace the mystical.
After all, humans were a race that was blessed by the heavens.
Yue An raised his two paws and leaned against the window to look at the tall buildings.
The place was filled with machinery, but the architectural style was not as rigid and solemn as machines. Unexpectedly, it was filled with free and unrestrained human elements.
The cars on the highest tracks were getting more and more remote.
After they left the city's tracks, they were manually operated.
Yue An watched as Ji Xiuyun's hands continuously entered commands. Then, he watched as the dense trees suddenly disappeared. What appeared on the window was a flat and vast settlement floating in the air.
— To be precise, it was a military base hidden in the sky above the Imperial Capital.
Yue An jumped down from the window and crawled into the Marshal's coat pocket. He only squeezed out his little head and placed his two paws under his head. He looked very small and cute.
Ji Xiuyun did not stop him. He controlled his car to land in the parking lot.
His passcode was very high, so other than the patrolling soldiers, no one else was alerted.
The Marshal and his cat got down from the car and strode into the base without notifying anyone.
When the patrolling soldiers saw Ji Xiuyun, they saluted in unison. They could not help but look at the cute little cat that poked its head out of the Marshal's pocket.
Yue An looked up at them and meowed softly.
Ahhhhhh!
The soldiers' faces were tense. Those who were supposed to patrol went to patrol, and those who were supposed to train went to train. However, they were so excited that they were like graduates of the Central Drama Academy!
It's a cat!
It's a cat!
It's so small!
It's so cute!
It's so small and obedient!
Meow meow! It's so cute!
Its fur looks so soft and smooth!
It makes people want to rub it crazily!
Yue An, who made people want to rub it crazily, was finally brought to the destination by the Marshal after brushing its face in front of some of the soldiers.
"Meow …"
The snow-white kitten was squatting on the table. Its beautiful eyes were wide open as it looked at Ji Xiuyun, who had also taken a seat, with a face full of disbelief.
To be honest, the marshal was a person who didn't have much interest in life.
He only knew how to barbecue. The other cooking methods were too difficult for the busy Marshal.
Usually, if he was not given special treatment by the orderlies, he would eat in the cafeteria with the other Legion Commanders.
He did not know what was good in the Imperial Capital, and no one would chat with him about this.
Therefore, the place Ji Xiuyun brought Yue An to was the place where his Legion was stationed in the Imperial Capital …
… The Legion's cafeteria.
