The Marshal was still resisting stubbornly.

Yue An's howls were getting louder and louder. It was very tragic and heart-wrenching. Marshal Kevin, who was passing by for his morning exercise, immediately came over.

He even brought a few soldiers with him.

Marshal Kevin had blonde hair and blue eyes. His facial features were very deep, and he was as handsome as Ji Xiuyun. He was almost middle-aged, but his body was quite good. At this moment, he was wearing a singlet and was sweating profusely. His male hormones were almost drowning in the onlookers.

Unfortunately, there was no one here who could be confused by his hormones. Neither was there a cat.

In the eyes of others, the relationship between Marshal Kevin and Marshal Ji Xiuyun was quite strained. The soldiers behind Marshal Kevin looked at Ji Xiuyun awkwardly. In the end, their gazes turned and landed on the cat that was hugging Ji Xiuyun's forearm tightly.

Marshal Kevin looked very curious, but he restrained himself well. After looking at the cat for a while, he said a cold morning.

When there were other people around, the two Marshal acted very unfriendly towards each other.

Ji Xiuyun nodded. His face was as cold as Marshal Kevin's.

Yue An's face was still pressed against Ji Xiuyun's arm. It felt that it was being watched, so it turned its head to look at the soldiers and Marshal Kevin. One of its ears was perked up, and the other was pressed against Ji Xiuyun's forearm. It trembled slightly, then turned its head back uninterestedly and continued to meow at Ji Xiuyun.

That meow was so pitiful that anyone who heard it would feel sad and cry.

Marshal Kevin wanted to chat with the student that he hadn't seen for a long time, especially about the cat.

Unfortunately, he had brought the soldiers out for morning exercise. He took into account the relationship between him and Ji Xiuyun, so he regretfully chose to give up.

He retracted his gaze and brought Bing away.

As soon as Marshal Kevin turned around, Ji Xiuyun immediately reached out and grabbed Yue An by the back of his neck. He had read the information and knew that it wouldn't hurt if he grabbed Yue An by the neck. This was where the mother cat carried the kitten.

The Marshal attempted to persuade him, though his face remained cold from beginning to end, and no attempt could be made out from it.

However, the Marshal really wanted to talk about it. His lips moved slightly. "Yue …"

The Yue An clung onto Ji Xiuyun's forearm tightly and refused to listen. It was extremely cold, heartless, and unreasonable. The moment it opened its mouth, it began to howl, "Meow!!

Meow!!! "

Ji Xiuyun was about to say something when he saw his teacher jogging back with the soldiers behind him. They all looked at him with condemning eyes.

"Marshal Ji," Marshal Kevin said sternly. "Ancient Earth creatures are very precious. Please don't mistreat him."

Ji Xiuyun was speechless.

I'm not, I'm not.

The Yue An shook its ears and turned its head to Marshal Kevin and meowed pitifully.

Ji Xiuyun was speechless.

Drama queen.

Marshal Kevin looked at the white furball that was clinging onto Ji Xiuyun's forearm tightly and asked seriously, "I remember that your name is Yue An?

Do you want to consider changing your owner?

I … "

Before Ji Xiuyun could react, the Yue An quickly turned its head and faced Marshal Kevin with the back of its head. It hugged Ji Xiuyun's forearm tightly with all four of its paws. It had a determined look on its face that said, "No matter what happens, I won't let go."

Ji Xiuyun looked at his teacher, who wanted to stir up trouble, and then looked at the white furball on his forearm. In the end, he chose to compromise.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

As soon as Ji Xiuyun said that, Yue An meowed happily, as if the cat that had just howled so loudly wasn't him. He spread his claws and jumped all the way up Ji Xiuyun's arm to his shoulder. He even stretched out his little head to rub against Ji Xiuyun's cheek.

Marshal Kevin clicked his tongue when he saw this. He looked very disappointed.

Ji Xiuyun coldly threw his teacher a sharp look, then without hesitation, he lifted his leg and left.

Marshal Kevin felt that he had to come back early today. After all, his teacher was very interested in Yue An. He would probably be very interested in talking to him at his house today.

The Yue An, who had achieved its goal, squatted on Ji Xiuyun's shoulder. Its tail, which was resting on the Marshal's back, curled up slightly and wagged happily.

Ji Xiuyun brought Yue An into the car.

Yue An jumped onto the windowsill and watched as the Marshal made a note of the address. Then, he looked curiously at Ji Xiuyun as he pulled out a small hidden compartment from the windowsill.

There were a few simple but elegant brooches in the hidden compartment.

The marshal fiddled with the brooches, picked one out, and pinned it on his lapel. Then, he gently pressed the buckle on the top of the brooch.

Yue An watched helplessly as Ji Xiuyun's facial features changed bit by bit under his mask. His body gradually swelled up, appearing thicker and fatter. His skin instantly darkened by a few degrees, and even his clothes changed into another set of clothes in an instant.

With Ji Xiuyun's appearance and aura, people would recognize him even if he wore ordinary clothes and a mask on the road. After all, other than Marshal Ji, who else could put on such a fierce look?

However, Ji Xiuyun's current appearance was very ordinary. It was hard for people to have any impression of his ordinary appearance. His frightening aura seemed to have been covered up. At most, one could see some of the military's nimbleness in Ji Xiuyun's actions.

Yue An stretched out his paw curiously.

Ji Xiuyun caught his paw and rubbed his paw. Then, he loosened his grip and unbuttoned his jacket. He pointed at the hidden compartment inside and said, "Stay here later. Don't show your head."

Yue An took two steps back to show his resistance.

Marshal Ji Xiuyun explained, "The cloth is special. You can see outside from inside."

Yue An's original intention was to memorize the route. However, after thinking about it, he reluctantly agreed to this suggestion.

Marshal Ji Xiuyun had his reasons for not wanting to bring his cat along.

He was the Empire's Marshal Ji Xiuyun. He couldn't possibly go to the black market with his face, right?

Although the boss behind the black market was definitely someone who had connections with both the military and the government, it was still a black market that sold illegal goods!

Therefore, disguises were necessary.

First of all, the disguise brooch couldn't be used by Yue An.

If Yue An was a domestic pet like Pi Pi, it wouldn't be a problem to bring him to the black market.

However, Yue An was a cat!

The last cat in the entire universe!

The entire Galaxy knew that this extremely precious cat was living with Ji Xiuyun.

If he brought Yue An to the black market, wouldn't he be telling others that he was the Empire's Marshal Ji Xiuyun? Ji Xiuyun was visiting the black market!

If such a thing really happened, Marshal Kevin Ji Xiuyun would be able to smash Yue An's head without the intervention of the media or the military court.

Furthermore, it was better to be safe than sorry. What if something really happened?

Marshal Ji Xiuyun still remembered that this cat had saved his life.

He had only just returned the favor of a few dozen energy crystals. He couldn't possibly lose this cat.

If Yue An wanted to go to any other place, Ji Xiuyun would agree without hesitation. However, the black market was different. Even if they were in the public eye, they would still be a group of daring outlaws.

What did they not dare to do?

However, looking at Yue An's expression, it seemed like it really wanted to go.

Ji Xiuyun looked at Yue An, who was leaning against the window and staring outside with wide eyes. The little furball by the window sensed Ji Xiuyun's gaze. Its ears trembled, and it put down its two little paws and turned to look at Ji Xiuyun's unfamiliar face.

"Meow?"

Forget it.

He had already brought it out. There was no point in thinking about it.

Marshal Ji Xiuyun sighed imperceptibly.

The entrances to the black market were located in a bustling commercial district. There were a total of five entrances.

Ordinary people might not believe it, but the largest black market on Planet Sintes was here. It was located in the capital of the Empire of Sintes, under the most bustling commercial district.

The black market's goods came from all kinds of sources. Some were stolen, some were looted from official caravans by interstellar pirates, some were privately operated by the nobles above, and some were supplied by various mine owners on a regular basis.

Similarly, the people who bought things here came from all kinds of backgrounds.

There were no rules in this place. There was only one rule: the highest bidder gets the goods.

Simply put, in this place, you could either talk with your strength or talk with your money.

With an extremely ordinary face and a cat in his arms, Marshal Ji Xiuyun stood calmly in the descending elevator.

Yue An crouched in the hidden pocket of his clothes and saw the route clearly.

He turned to look at the other people in the narrow elevator. They each occupied a corner and exuded a cold aura. They did not communicate with each other.

Yue An yawned in boredom in the hidden pocket.

Ji Xiuyun was quite used to this. He often came here when he was young, but he never went to the commercial district above. Instead, he went to the black market below.

He needed to arm himself like crazy in order to protect his autonomy when he was young and powerless.

Because of this, Ji Xiuyun was quite familiar with the prices in the black market.

Among the ores, other than the rare metal ores that could enhance the sharpness of weapons and the defense of mechas, energy crystals were the most popular and the supply was the most stable.

Walking in the universe, no matter what, it was impossible to avoid the use of energy crystals.

Whether it was mechas or battleships, even a small escape pod, they all needed energy crystals to support them.

Therefore, no matter what was lacking, energy crystals were indispensable.

As a Marshal, Ji Xiuyun's Second Army and Fourth Army were always on the frontlines of hunting down interstellar pirates. He was somewhat concerned about the source of some of the black market's goods, but now he had a way to recover energy crystals.

It was better for Yue An to buy these energy crystals than for the interstellar pirates to buy and use against him and his soldiers.

After all, weakening the enemy was the same as strengthening oneself.

However, there was only one shop in the entire black market that sold energy crystals with extremely high purity.

Marshal Ji Xiuyun got off the elevator and went straight to the large shop that occupied the center of the black market.

Yue An looked at the scene along the way.

Compared to the black market, this place looked more like a disorderly flea market. There were no shops on the human-shaped path, but there were many stalls on both sides. There were many people fighting in the corners, and blood was flowing everywhere.

Yue An saw many low-grade energy crystals that he was too lazy to use, but they were being fought over by several people.

The white furball's four paws were on the outside of the hidden pocket. Its big blue eyes were looking around, searching for what it wanted.

Yue An looked around and finally realized that the energy crystals that Ji Xiuyun had given him were of the highest quality.

No wonder they were so expensive. They cost one million and eight hundred thousand each.

Marshal Ji Xiuyun felt that the furball in the hidden pocket was moving around restlessly. Before entering the shop, he patted the pocket and whispered, "We're here. Stop fooling around."

Yue An immediately quieted down.

Ji Xiuyun took out an old magnetic card from his pocket. In the black market, this type of card was anonymous. Once the card was swiped, no one would know who had spent the money.

Marshal Ji Xiuyun walked straight to the innermost part of the shop and asked the man standing behind the energy crystal counter, "High-grade energy crystals. How many do you have?"

The man was slightly stunned. He stood up straight and looked at the ordinary-looking man in front of him for a few seconds before answering, "About five hundred."

"Price?"

The man looked at him with a serious expression. "The current price is one million two hundred and ten thousand."

Ji Xiuyun did not waste any time. He just wanted to buy the energy crystals and leave this place with the soft little guy in his arms.

"I want all of them. Round them down. One million two hundred thousand."

The man behind the counter clicked his tongue. He did not hesitate. After swiping three hundred million as a deposit, he directly led the man to the storage room where the energy crystals were stored.

A high-grade energy crystal was about the size of a baby's fist. There were five hundred and thirty-two of them placed neatly in the storage room. Even after using the space storage technique, the box containing the energy crystals was still half the height of Mr. Marshal Ji Xiuyun. It was also extremely heavy.

Yue An was biting its own tail in the hidden pocket. Its cute cat face was frowning. It was painfully recalling the technique of Universe in the Sleeve that the elders in its clan had told it about.

What a sin. It had believed in a lazy cancerous cat. When it heard him say, "Cats don't have sleeves. How can they learn Universe in the Sleeve?" It really did not take this technique to heart.

Now, it was time to use it.

Yue An anxiously poked Ji Xiuyun's waist in the hidden pocket. It really wanted to meow.

How could they bring such a big box out?

Wouldn't they be robbed if they went out?

Mr. Marshal Ji Xiuyun did not feel distressed. He reached out and patted Yue An, who was poking his waist. After confirming that the goods were correct, he swiftly swiped the remaining balance. Then, he gently tapped a button on the top.

Four rollers popped out from the bottom of the box and rolled towards another door of the storage room.

As the largest store in the black market, this store naturally had special privileges.

For example, the back door of the storage room was an elevator that led to the exit of the black market. The elevator was directly connected to the parking lot of the commercial center.

The man who was trading with them followed closely behind him. Looking at Ji Xiuyun's unabashed military style, he finally called out to the other party before he stepped into the exit.

"Customer."

The man had a careful and flattering smile on his face. He asked, "May I ask if the military is going to make a big move by purchasing so many energy crystals at once?"

Ji Xiuyun stopped in his tracks. He tilted his head and looked at him silently.

Ji Xiuyun: "…"

You may not believe it.

Actually, I'm here to buy cat food.
