Ji Xiuyun had never expected that his mischievous teasing of this white furball would actually result in its little belly rubbing.

The Marshal paused for a moment. In the end, he could not help but reach out his hand to the soft little belly.

Yue An swatted him away with its paw.

"Meow!"

You want to rub your belly without any fish?

Ptui ptui ptui!

You must be dreaming!

The marshal lowered his head and stared at Furball, who was lying on his lap, for a while. Their eyes, one black and one blue, clashed, and in the end, the marshal was the first to reach out and grab Yue An's furry little paw that was still on the back of his hand!

He then pinched Yue An's little paw without any expression.

It was soft, warm, and furry on the other side. It was very comfortable to pinch.

The Marshal could not control his hand and pinched it again.

"Meow!"

Yue An retracted its paw and angrily turned around to hide its little belly. It lay on the Marshal's lap and turned to look at the three grilled fish.

Ji Xiuyun could feel the warm sensation of the furball lying on his lap through his pants. After two seconds of silence, he said, "One energy crystal per fish. If you agree, I'll give it to you."

Yue An turned to look at Ji Xiuyun in disbelief.

You're so awesome!

Why don't you go rob a bank?

The Marshal narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the little guy's complaining expression. He felt a little pleased.

Ji Xiuyun was in a good mood after satisfying his mischievous taste. He placed the grilled fish in front of Yue An.

He then expressionlessly said in all seriousness, "I'm just kidding."

？？？？？

Yue An looked at Ji Xiuyun's standard cold face in disbelief. It really wanted to scratch someone with its paw.

However, the cute little kitten still chose to submit in its anger when faced with the sugar-coated bullets of the grilled fish.

The Marshal looked at Yue An who was busy eating and was in a good mood. He even grilled the remaining four fish and stuffed them all into Yue An's mouth.

After eating the last fish, the furball paused and turned to meow at the human who was watching it eat the grilled fish.

The Marshal was puzzled. "Hmm?"

Yue An pushed the grilled fish towards him.

Ji Xiuyun was a little surprised. He did not think that the furball would want to share of his food after teasing it like that.

The Marshal reached out a finger and poked the little guy's head................

Nutrient solution could last for several days........ so, Yue An.. l.....

Ji Xiuyun was very happy that his grilled fish was so popular. He would not fight with the cat who had saved his life.

Yue An finished the last grilled fish and watched Ji Xiuyun clean up the grilled fish. It ran over to his feet and put its two front paws on the Marshal's two long legs. This time, it did not repeat the same trick. Instead, it reached out its paws, controlled its strength, and climbed up the Marshal's pants.

The Marshal, who was suddenly treated as a tree, was stunned. He put the tools in his bag and reached out to hold the furball that had climbed up to his waist.

"Meow!"

Yue An stepped on Ji Xiuyun's hand, walked two steps along his arm, and squatted on his shoulder.

Yue An was not big. The Marshal's shoulders were wide and his waist was thin. Yue An was able to squat steadily.

Ji Xiuyun stiffened for a moment when he felt the furball on the side of his face. Then, he relaxed in the next second.

Yue An wanted to be lazy and did not want to run by himself.

The Marshal thought that he had successfully subdued the furball by cooking a meal for it.

The world of animals was so simple and beautiful.

The Marshal sighed with emotion as he walked back. Then, he paused.

He suddenly realized that this little furball was not necessarily just an animal.

What was an animal?

In a broad sense, an animal was a heterotrophic organism composed of cells in the body.

In the narrow sense of human subjectivity, it was a creature that did not have complex emotional perception and intelligence.

The Marshal suddenly realized that the white furball that had saved him had emotional perception and self-awareness.

It even … No, it should be him.

He was even able to communicate with the marshal with a clear mind!

Ji Xiuyun came back to his senses. He suddenly realized that the thing on his shoulder was not an animal in the narrow sense of the word. It was an intelligent creature that was on the same level as humans, standing at the top of the food chain.

The Marshal thought of this and seriously recalled what he had done to this little fellow today. Then, he could not help but fall into a dead silence.

He seemed to have teased it, rubbed its fur, and fed it several roasted fish as if it was a pet, after knowing that it was his savior … Furball.

Most importantly, he even pinched the little guy's … first sex organ with his face as big as a basin.

No wonder this little fellow was so shocked at that time. It was as if it had been stunned.

The Marshal swore that he had no intention of being a hooligan!

He had only been upholding a scientific and rigorous attitude at that time to determine Little White's sex characteristics first!

After all, in most animals, apart from a special period of breastfeeding and a certain period of growth, the male's attacking power and territorial awareness were much stronger than the female's.

Although this little fellow had been very friendly at that time, he still had to confirm it just in case!

Was that wrong?

Of course not!

The Marshal confidently found an excuse for himself. His expression did not change at all, as if he did not know anything and nothing had happened. He continued to walk over the pile of weeds with his long legs and returned to the safety cabin.

Yue An jumped down from the Marshal's shoulder. The first thing it did was to hug the half of the spirit stone it had placed in the corner and squat in front of the hidden cabinet with the spirit stone.

The Marshal did not hesitate. He unlocked the cabinet again and took out an energy crystal, stuffing it into Furball's arms.

Yue An happily hugged the spirit stone and gnawed on it.

He gnawed on the two stones for the entire day.

When the Marshal opened his eyes the next day, he found a furry white ball by his pillow.

The Marshal also realized that no matter what he wanted to do, he would be stopped by this little white furball, who would look at him with eyes full of desire.

Ji Xiuyun did not need to think to know that Yue An wanted to do something in exchange for the energy crystal.

He wanted to give him a stone for every task he did.

However, did Ji Xiuyun look like such a stupid person?

Of course, the Marshal was not.

Not only was he not stupid, but he was also quite quick-witted.

Thus, he rejected Yue An and said, "I want to keep the energy crystal for the safety cabin."

Yue An's ears drooped and it let out a disappointed meow.

"When the rescue team comes, I can give you the rest," he said.

Yue An's ears perked up. It squatted on the control panel and looked up at Ji Xiuyun.

"Xiao Bai, you …" The Marshal paused. "Do you want to come with me?"

Yue An tilted its head. Just as it was about to agree, it realized that the Marshal had not finished speaking.

He squatted on the control panel. His eyes, which had relaxed due to the lack of strong light, were now round and black. There was a beautiful circle of blue on the outside, making it look innocent and pure.

"You saved me, so I should repay you. However, I cannot stay here."

Ji Xiuyun's words were very clear. It was clear that he did not intend to be tactful or hide anything.

"You are very powerful. I hope that you can come with me. I will take care of you and provide you with a fixed amount of energy crystals."

The Marshal paused. His tone was still calm. "If you are not willing to leave, I can send someone to deliver energy crystals to you regularly."

Yue An did not speak. He did not expect to receive such benefits.

Although Ji Xiuyun had a lot of energy crystals, Yue An could tell that they were very important resources.

In other words, they were not cheap.

Yue An did not take the fact that he had saved Ji Xiuyun to heart.

Yue An had been mentally prepared for the loss of his tail, which he had tried so hard to keep. After all, when he had said that he wanted to stay in the mountains and not interact with humans until he became an immortal, the elders in his clan had looked at him as if he was retarded.

To Yue An, losing his tail meant that he could not go against the will of the heavens.

Anyway, the nine-tailed cat would grow a new tail every 20 years. He did not need to cultivate or go through hardships. After losing his tail, he did not have any regrets other than disappointment.

The true cultivation of the nine-tailed cat was to cultivate his state of mind during the process of losing his tail.

At the very least, the elders of the same race that Yue An had met before had all seen through the mortal world and experienced the vicissitudes of life. They exuded the aura of immortals, and only when they saw humans would they have the urge to jump over and beat them up.

Yue An felt that he was very lucky.

Ji Xiuyun was willing to repay him and respect his wishes. That was because Ji Xiuyun was a good person.

Many humans ran away after making a wish, or wanted to catch the nine-tailed cat and keep it by their side as a wishing machine.

Humans who were sincerely willing to work hard and disregard the consequences to repay a favor as much as possible were not bad people.

Even the experienced and knowledgeable nine-tailed cat elders would praise such people as noble and unsullied.

Although he was not sure how good it would be to stay by such a human's side, it would definitely not be bad.

Yue An felt that it was quite possible to stay by Ji Xiuyun's side. When the time came, he could even brag to his elders about how good his new master was.

Yue An did not know Ji Xiuyun's identity, nor did he know how many years he had been teleporting. He looked up at Ji Xiuyun, wagged his tail, and stood up to open his two front paws.

He made a standard "I want a hug" gesture.

The Marshal was slightly stunned. "Do you agree to come with me?"

"Meow ~" Yue An responded and extended his paws.

The Marshal looked at the little furball's two paws and thought for a moment. He also extended his two hands and high-fived the little furball's paws.

Yue An, "???"

Are you an idiot?

Who wants to give five to you?

'Can't you move your hands and pick up this cute kitten?'
