The Last Cat in the Universe

Chapter 58

Ji Xiuyun did not believe that the meaning behind Yue An's words could be understood literally.

Logically speaking, Yue An's little brain was filled with energy crystals other than eating, drinking, sleeping, and playing. How could it contain anything else?

Would he consider his mental and emotional life?

Even Yue An himself would not believe it.

And indeed, Yue An didn't think in that direction at all.

He patted Marshal Ji's head and was surprised to find that it felt so good. Thus, he casually touched Marshal Ji's buzz cut.

Ji Xiuyun's hair was unexpectedly soft. It was the complete opposite of his cold expression and temperament.

His hair was fine and soft. Even though he had a buzz cut, it was not prickly.

Yue An touched it a few more times. He liked this feeling very much.

It was only slightly worse than his Mao Mao's.

Yue An seemed to understand why humans liked to touch his Mao Mao.

Who wouldn't love Mao Mao when it felt so good?

Yue An thought and could not help but rub Ji Xiuyun's hair again.

His white and slender fingers were buried in the black hair. The short stubble could not completely cover his fingers.

Yue An's protruding joints bent and relaxed. The strength was very gentle. It did not seem like he was rubbing Mao Mao's hair. Instead, it seemed like he was gently comforting the person in front of him.

It was gentle, calm, and tranquil.

It was mixed with the faint milky fragrance of the youth's body. It made people subconsciously slow down their breathing and gradually calm their emotions.

It was just like when Yue An was still a kitten. Once he clung to someone, he would meow softly, or rub against someone in a spoiled manner. Then, people would easily choose to forgive him for his small mistakes.

Although Yue An's nonsense was not a mistake, Yue An's straight kick was not a mistake.

It even made Ji Xiuyun feel slightly comforted.

Marshal Ji pulled Yue An's hand down from his head.

"It feels good to the touch." Yue An commented. He even wanted to touch it again.

Ji Xiuyun paused. The words that he wanted to say were blocked by Yue An's words.

In the end, the Marshal put down his hand and said dryly, "Okay."

She wouldn't run away with someone else … Although Ji Xiuyun knew that these words were definitely not understood in a normal way, he still felt a sense of security.

Ji Xiuyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry as a faint but firm consolation rose in his chest.

"Alright," he repeated again and chose to give up. "Go to sleep. Have a good rest."

"… Oh," Yue An responded and glanced at Ji Xiuyun, then at him.

"What are you looking at?" Marshal Ji asked.

Yue An jumped onto the bed and rolled around. Then, he looked up and said, "Let's see if you're still unhappy."

Ji Xiuyun took off his cloak and jacket and shook his head.

Seeing this, Yue An shrunk into the quilt in his military uniform and turned back into a small furry ball. He stretched himself comfortably in the soft quilt and kicked all his clothes out of the quilt, scattering them all over the floor in a messy manner.

At this moment, the First Division's commander contacted Ji Xiuyun.

Marshal Ji was unbuttoning his shirt when he picked up the call.

The First Division's commander was still busy in the cockpit. As the official deputy, the First Division's commander had a lot of things to do.

For example, he had to give a rough report on the progress of the battle damage and the situation of the voyage.

"We are currently heading towards the border of the Star System S17, planet D12. The fleet will pass through the planet's atmosphere in nine hours."

Marshal Ji nodded. "Okay."

"The battle damage report is currently …"

The First Division's commander's words stopped abruptly.

Marshal Ji looked up at the projection and realized that not only was the First Division's commander acting strangely, but the four operators on duty were also stunned.

Ji Xiuyun paused. "What's wrong?"

"…" The First Division's commander opened his mouth. He turned his head and gestured to the operators beside him to keep quiet. Then, he walked to the side and hid with his back facing them. He said softly, "Marshal, is that … Yue An in your room?"

Ji Xiuyun heard this and turned his head to look at his bed.

There was a small bump on the bed. It was his cat.

But obviously, the thing that made the First Division's commander speechless was not his cat. It was that person.

Ji Xiuyun's gaze shifted to the clothes that Yue An had kicked out of the blanket and scattered messily all over the floor.

From the military pants and jacket to the underwear and socks, there was not a single piece missing. The scene was quite terrible. One look and one could tell that it was colored.

Marshal Ji turned his head and looked at his trusted subordinate. He was at a loss for words.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

No wonder the Marshal and the young man had such an intimate relationship. It was because of their relationship!

The commander of the First Legion was enlightened. He expressed his understanding and chose to give in. "I will report to you about the losses and resources when we land tomorrow."

After that, he paused and asked cautiously, "Although Yue 'an is an adult, what is forbidden in the workplace?"

Ji Xiuyun did not speak. He just stared straight at the First Division's commander. It looked like he wanted to jump over and hit him.

The First Division's commander backed off. "I wish you a pleasant night."

As soon as he finished speaking, he decisively hung up the call. He turned his head and saw the curious eyes of the four operators. He knocked on their heads one by one.

Bang, bang, bang, bang. Four of them.

"What are you looking at?!

Work hard! "He lectured with a stern face.

The operators were not satisfied. "Then, Marshal …"

The First Division's commander knocked his head again and scolded him. "Shut your head!"

The operators shut their heads dejectedly.

Marshal Ji, who had been cut off, turned his head and looked at the little cat that was squirming under the blanket. He walked to the side of the bed and bent down. He reached out and slapped the blanket, blocking the path of the little bump.

Yue An was suddenly pressed down under the blanket. After being stunned for two seconds, he turned over and pushed the blanket with his four paws while meowing.

Marshal Ji heard Yue An's muffled meowing through the blanket. He let go of his hand and saw Yue An quickly squirming out from under the blanket.

"Meow!"

His cat's head popped out. Its fur was messy, and its ears were erect. Its blue eyes were wide open as it stared at him.

I'll give you a chance to explain!

Yue An stared at Ji Xiuyun with its eyes wide open.

If you can't explain why you bullied me, you'll sleep in the deputy's bedroom today!

Under Yue An's gaze, Ji Xiuyun calmly lifted the blanket and sat on the bed.

Yue An lay down on the spot where Ji Xiuyun was going to sleep. It spread out like a pancake and stopped Marshal Ji from sleeping.

Marshal Ji Xiuyun paused. He understood that this was Yue An's revenge for him pressing down on the blanket.

However, he still did not explain. Instead, he said, "The planet that we'll land on tomorrow is a desolate planet that is not suitable for humans to live on."

Yue An's ears twitched.

"However, there's a special kind of creature that tastes really good when roasted," Ji Xiuyun said. "We'll arrive when we wake up. We'll catch it and roast it tomorrow."

Yue An's tail curled slightly. "Meow!"

What kind of cat do you think I am?

Am I the kind of cat that can be satisfied with a meal of roasted meat?

I'm not that kind of cat!

"I'll roast it myself," Marshal Ji added.

Yue An immediately rolled around and got up. It gave its spot to Ji Xiuyun.

Marshal Ji silently looked at the cat that forgot about its revenge when it heard about food. He really wanted to sigh.

Why was it so stupid?

Ji Xiuyun lay on the bed and lifted the cat that was lying on his chest. He asked, "If you meet someone who can roast meat better than me, would you choose that person or me?"

Yue An's four paws were waving randomly in the air. When it heard this question, it meowed without hesitation.

Of course I wouldn't choose you!

Let go of me!

"As expected, you'll choose me," Marshal Ji concluded with a cold face.

Yue An widened its eyes. It felt that this person was really shameless.

Ji Xiuyun put down Yue An, whose paws were waving wildly in the air, on the soft pillow and turned off the light.

"Go to sleep," he said in a low voice.

Yue An moved under the pillow and replied, "Meow!"

After about two minutes, Yue An heard Ji Xiuyun suddenly say, "You won't have a chance."

Yue An's ears twitched.

Ji Xiuyun's voice sounded very serious. "There's no one who can roast meat better than me."

Yue An brushed Ji Xiuyun's neck with the tip of its tail as a response.

"Even if there is, there won't be a chance to appear in front of you."

Ji Xiuyun's tone was still serious. It was as if he wasn't making trouble for no reason, but was having a military discussion.

Yue An raised its head and looked at Ji Xiuyun in disbelief.

'How can you be so childish?'

The next day, the childish Marshal Ji realized that he had really underestimated Yue An.

This cat wasn't stupid.

This was because he had hunted a total of ten huge creatures unique to this planet for Ji Xiuyun to roast.

A total of ten of them!!

At this size, one of them was enough to feed thirty people!

It would be very difficult to roast them!

However, Yue An had hunted a total of ten of them!

This cat really wasn't stupid.

Ji Xiuyun looked at Yue An, who threw the tenth beast in front of him and was about to turn around and continue hunting. He raised his hand and grabbed Yue An's wrist.

"That's enough," he said.

Yue An felt wronged. "Just one meal."

"Bring the rest back." Marshal Ji surrendered. "Roast them slowly."

Yue An immediately sat down beside Ji Xiuyun happily.

Since they had landed and rested, they naturally had to walk a few laps around the land. Hence, the few commanders gathered together.

Originally, they didn't plan to look for Yue An and Ji Xiuyun. However, when they saw Ji Xiuyun turn on the energy furnace and act like he was about to roast the meat, they immediately rushed over. They were like wolves that had been starved for three days. They stared at the meat that Marshal Ji was cooking with green eyes.

Marshal Ji looked up. "These are Yue An's."

The six Legion Commanders with green eyes turned their heads to look at the young man beside Ji Xiuyun.

Yue An was in a good mood and was very generous. After all, a normal human's appetite was there. He waved his hand and agreed to share the food with the six commanders.

The six corps commanders immediately started to praise Yue An from top to bottom and from inside to outside.

The commander of the First Division looked at Yue An's proud expression and actually felt that he was very cute.

It was probably because he saw this young man from a different angle now. After removing the filter of conspiracy theories and looking at him with pure admiration, he was really a very outstanding young man.

That's right. If he wasn't outstanding, he wouldn't be able to attract the Marshal.

The commander of the First Division couldn't help but look at Ji Xiuyun who didn't seem to be moved by this. He cleared his throat and decided to take the opportunity to open the report that he was supposed to do today.

"Marshal Ji Xiuyun, this is the report on the casualty rate. This time, there were 13,000 people and 130 destroyers, including four mecha squads. The casualty rate is below 3%. The casualty rate is …"

Ji Xiuyun listened to the report and occasionally interrupted the report to ask about the situation. At the same time, he was still seasoning the meat in an orderly manner.

Yue An looked at the meat in his hand without blinking.

The first piece of meat was definitely going to be given to Yue An.

Yue An took a barbecue fork and chewed on the meat. His two big eyes looked around as he watched Ji Xiuyun grilling the meat diligently while discussing with the other commanders.

"Regarding the galactic pirates, it's like this …"

"The atmosphere between the 17th and 18th star systems is very bad. Due to the history of conflicts between the two star systems, the relationship between the residents of these two star systems is very bad."

"Also, due to the Free Army causing trouble, the law and order here is very chaotic. Thus, there are many galactic pirates who choose to travel between these two star systems."

As the commander of the Second Division spoke, he opened the report that he had prepared.

"Countless pirate teams are born in this star sector every day. The one that intercepted us yesterday was one of them. Even their names weren't recorded. These are all veteran pirate teams that have been in this star sector for a long time."

Yue An looked at the report that the commander of the Second Division released.

At the top was a row of neatly arranged names and symbols of the pirate teams. At the bottom was information about the leader of the pirate team and the pirate team itself. It was quite detailed.

"The veteran pirate teams all know the rules. As long as you don't touch their bases, they will not take the initiative to interfere with political and territorial struggles. However, the new brats won't understand. The Free Army should have recruited many of these fledgling galactic pirates."

"Unless they are the ones who walk into the muzzle of the gun, during the 18th star system's suppression period, do not take the initiative to provoke the galactic pirate teams with these symbols. Otherwise, you will be attacked by these people together. The gains do not make up for the losses."

Yue An bit into the tender and juicy meat in his mouth. His cheeks were puffed up as he ate happily.

He looked up at the report and when he saw a red symbol, he paused.

Wasn't this the phoenix phantom that he had seen once in the wormhole?!

It was so big!

The one that was carved on the bow of the ship!
