The Last Cat in the Universe

Chapter 60

Ji Xiuyun also felt that they should go and take a look.

But not now.

Furthermore, he had to accompany Yue An.

Ji Xiuyun asked, "You want to save them?"

"No, we can't go against fate." Yue An pointed at the projections. "They can't be saved. They're dead meat."

Just like how his tail had to fall off until someone wished that he could grow a tail and become an immortal, it was fate.

Ji Xiuyun didn't really understand how monsters judged, "Then what do you want to do?"

"Take advantage of the situation." Yue An answered matter-of-factly.

Ji Xiuyun looked at Yue An. He didn't expect Yue An to give such an answer.

He wasn't even sure if he had heard wrongly.

"Take advantage of the situation?"

"Yes."

Yue An made a copy of all the information. "If they're all dead, then I'll take advantage of the situation. If they're still alive, then I can't save them. I'll just ask them what's going on and help them if I can."

Yue An didn't have any opinions about humans because of the possibility that he had guessed.

It was natural selection. Humans squandered their resources and ruined Earth. Immortals squandered their resources and ruined the Celestial Realm. They were all the same concept.

Just like how different life forms could grow in different periods on Earth, the Celestial Realm was ruined by the immortals. It was no longer suitable for immortals to live in. Humans came over. It was their ability to adapt.

"I don't know if they can still become immortals." Yue An mumbled.

Ji Xiuyun was silent for a while when he heard this. He looked at Yue An's hands, which were operating on the system panel.

Those hands were beautiful, but they were trembling slightly.

Ji Xiuyun reached out to hold them. They were cold to the touch.

He rubbed Yue An's hands hard. "You don't look too good."

Yue An didn't say anything.

To be honest, he didn't look too good now.

It wasn't because of the old fox's possible death.

Monsters didn't care about things like aging, sickness, and death. After all, time didn't mean much to them.

Nostalgia was nostalgia, but it was just nostalgia in his heart.

What Yue An didn't feel too good was that the Celestial World that he had been looking forward to for so long had actually become like this?

Although it was only a possibility, it was enough to make the cat angry.

Where's Phoenix?

Where's the dragon?

What happened to the promised rare beast?!

Not even a single strand of hair!

When Yue An thought of this, he was so angry that his face puffed up.

"If this is the Celestial Realm …" he muttered. "That would be too disappointing."

"What are you disappointed about?" Ji Xiuyun asked, "Is it because the scenery isn't pretty, or the food isn't delicious?"

Yue An was stumped by the question. He was stunned for a while and then shook his head.

"I think it's pretty good," Marshal Ji said.

"…" Yue An thought for a while and nodded. "It's indeed quite good."

Ji Xiuyun patted Yue An's head.

He was fooled just like that.

He was indeed a fool.

The First Army's Commander was having a small meeting with his colleagues. The topic was a serious discussion about their Marshal, who seemed to have finally blossomed.

The main purpose of the meeting was to remind the other Army Commanders to be mindful of the distance between them and Yue An.

Especially Old Third and Xiao Qi.

It was fine to be friends or brothers, but they had to know their boundaries.

"Are you talking about … the Marshal and Yue An?"

The Second Army's Commander couldn't help but ask. He knew that the two Yue An were actually the same person. He turned to look at the Fourth Army's Commander, who also knew the truth.

The Fourth Army's Commander was also horrified.

"Yes, is there a problem?" The First Army's Commander asked.

"…"

"… No."

It didn't seem to be a hard truth to believe.

After all, if Yue An had a human form, it would make more sense that he was the one who had saved the Marshal.

He was good-looking, powerful, and had saved his life. If they were the Marshal, they wouldn't be able to control themselves either.

Especially since the position beside the Marshal was always empty. There was no one who could be close to him, so it was easier for him to take care of such a situation.

"Have you verified it?" The Second Army's Commander asked again.

"The Marshal has verified it," the First Army's Commander replied.

"Considered?"

The First Army's Commander didn't say anything.

He couldn't possibly say that the two of them had already slept together, right?

This was a private matter. If he hadn't accidentally stumbled upon it, he wouldn't have known.

The Third Army's Commander and Seventh Army's Commander, who liked to chat and fight with Yue An, were dumbfounded for a long time. Then, they nodded absentmindedly and ended the meeting.

Then, they turned around and went to look for Yue An.

At this moment, Yue An was sitting obediently in Ji Xiuyun's office. He took out the cat-shaped optical computer that Ji Xiuyun had given him and looked at the troublesome information with a frown.

This optical computer was attached to Ji Xiuyun's optical computer. Its security clearance level was the same as Ji Xiuyun's. Now that he had asked for the detailed information of the Death Triangle, he immediately pulled it up and placed it in front of Yue An.

Yue An held a pen and looked at the densely packed information. He felt a headache coming on.

Ji Xiuyun looked up at Yue An's frowning face and reminded him, "Don't bite the pen."

Yue An opened his mouth and looked at the pen that had a few bite marks on it. He let go of the pen and threw it aside.

This kind of work wasn't for a cat.

Yue An looked at the information and thought for a while. Then, he pulled up a map of the Star Sector.

The Death Triangle spanned across three S-class galaxies. These three galaxies formed a perfect triangle. No one knew anything about the resources and species in the Death Triangle.

Once, someone tried to enter the Death Triangle. However, about one light year after entering the Death Triangle, they saw a high-speed meteorite belt that surrounded the entire Star Sector.

The high-speed meteorite belt was known as the burial ground of warriors. It could crush anything that tried to pass through it, including the reconnaissance robots sent by the armies of various countries.

However, the area that the Death Triangle occupied, the situation outside, and the reason why people couldn't enter were all clearly recorded.

Yue An looked at the map of the Star Sector and the situation outside the Death Triangle. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. He must have seen it somewhere before.

After a while, he slapped his forehead. "Oh no!"

Ji Xiuyun looked up at him.

"This is an array," Yue An said. "But I can't remember exactly what kind of array it is."

The senior who taught Yue An spells didn't really know how to use arrays. Arrays were usually the specialty of humans. Monsters didn't know how to use arrays very well.

Ji Xiuyun looked up what an array was. From a scientific point of view, it was an array that made use of light and the layout of a maze to cause a certain amount of disorientation to a person's vision and mind. Then, a person wouldn't be able to walk out of the maze and would have the illusion that they were walking in circles.

However, this wasn't what Yue An meant by an array.

Yue An looked at the map of the Star Sector. After seeing that it was an array, he couldn't find anything else.

If he had known, he would have listened to the senior and read more books instead of looking at beautiful female cats.

Yue An pouted and put away his optical computer. He was about to abandon Marshal Ji and go out for a walk to clear his mind.

The moment he stepped out, he bumped into the two army commanders who were looking for him.

Yue An looked at the two people who were dragging him away from the main ship. "What are you doing?"

The two army commanders looked around like thieves. Then, they asked Yue An, "Yue An, are you with our Marshal?"

Yue An was stunned. He wondered what kind of question they were asking.

"Haven't we always been together?"

"That's not what I meant." The commander of the Seventh Army whispered, "I mean, are you two dating?"

Of course, it was best to verify this with the person involved. After all, it was very inappropriate to jump to conclusions based on hearsay, even if it was just from the First Army's commander.

It was very rude to stereotype someone or something without any actual understanding of the person or thing.

Therefore, the two army commanders who had been warned directly ran over to Yue An to ask him.

"Dating?" Yue An was stunned for two seconds. "Ji Xiuyun and I?"

The Third Army's commander nodded. "Yes, you and Marshal Ji."

"No." Yue An shook his head decisively.

The two army commanders fell silent. They thought about what the First Army's commander said to have verified with the Marshal Ji. They felt that they might have accidentally discovered a shocking secret.

For example, their Marshal Ji actually had a one-sided love.

No wonder Boss didn't verify it with Yue An.

The two army commanders who had exposed the truth for their Marshal Ji felt that they had caused a huge disaster.

"Why are you asking this?" Yue An didn't understand.

The Third Army's commander didn't even blink. "I heard a piece of gossip."

Yue An nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he changed the topic. "How long will it take to destroy the Free Army?"

The two army commanders were stunned by this sudden change in topic.

However, they quickly reacted and replied, "If no one is holding us back, one year."

Only one year.

There was still a long time before the tail grew back.

Yue An relaxed and followed the two army commanders on a spaceship to patrol the area.

In the end, they accidentally ran into the base of a small galactic pirate gang.

This desolate planet wasn't suitable for humans to live on.

However, due to the existence of oxygen patches, a planet without oxygen or with a low oxygen content couldn't affect the daily lives of humans. Therefore, many small pirate gangs that weren't competitive would choose a desolate planet as their base to avoid the daily patrols of the military.

As long as they had enough resources, they could hide until the end of time.

Yue An and the two army commanders led their teams and cleanly wiped out the galactic pirate gang without saying anything. They also brought back a huge pile of loot.

Marshal Ji allowed the army commanders to deal with this matter. He stayed in his office and looked at the galactic map. He was as still as a mountain.

Yue An warmed up and happily jumped back. He walked to Ji Xiuyun's side and lightly knocked on his desk.

"Hmm?" Marshal Ji looked up at him.

Yue An said, "Someone said that the two of us are in a relationship."

Ji Xiuyun paused. "Who said that?"

Yue An thought about it and decided not to sell the army commander out. "I just heard it."

"Oh." Marshal Ji responded.

Then, he closed the document in his hand and asked, "So?"

Yue An was taking out some snacks and was about to share them with Ji Xiuyun. When he heard his question, he looked up blankly. "What do you mean?"

"It's about the two of us being in a relationship." Ji Xiuyun said, "What do you think?"

"What do you mean what I think? What can I …" Yue An suddenly stopped talking.

He suddenly understood and stared at Ji Xiuyun with wide eyes. The candy in his hand fell on the table with a clatter.
