The Last Cat in the Universe

Chapter 67

Ji Xiuyun looked at Yue An's widened eyes and asked, "You can't do it?"

"If I have to say it, it's not impossible."

Yue An's face scrunched up in worry. "Although in legends and various records, making a wish to the Nine-Tailed Cat is omnipotent … Although to a certain extent, this is indeed the case, it can't be considered that way."

Ji Xiuyun's heart skipped a beat.

He had never really verified the limitations of making a wish with Yue An. From the records he had found about the Nine-Tailed Cat, it did indeed say "any wish."

After all, Yue An had saved him from the Grim Reaper's arms when they first met. It was not difficult for Ji Xiuyun to believe that making a wish to Yue An was omnipotent.

But if there were restrictions, Ji Xiuyun could completely accept it.

He did not have any concept of these mysterious and mysterious things. He could accept whatever Yue An said.

Ji Xiuyun put on a posture of listening attentively.

Yue An saw him like this and did not hide anything from him.

"Basically, there are two types of wishes. One is spoken aloud, and the other is a wish that comes from the bottom of one's heart. When I saw you, it was the latter type."

Yue An sorted out his thoughts and said, "Making a wish to the Nine-Tailed Cat can only target a certain person or a certain thing. It can't be a very broad wish of 'reviving the universe' or 'world peace.' These are beyond the scope."

Yue An very frankly told Ji Xiuyun a little trick to making a wish. "However, you can make a wish to become the strongest human being, or you can make a wish to change the thoughts of a certain high-ranking human being and achieve a wish of 'world peace.'"

Ji Xiuyun thought for a while and understood what Yue An meant.

It meant that it was not impossible to revive the universe or achieve world peace, but one had to have a perfect idea in mind. For example, one had to change someone's thoughts.

It was like prying a very important screw to create a chain effect.

Or perhaps they wished that they were invincible, and then they would use their own bodies to conquer vast territories and achieve world peace.

This was because there must be a clear goal to make a wish. For example, Ji Xiuyun wanted to survive at that time.

"I can't directly make a wish to restore the universe and world peace. I can't revive the dead either." Yue An shrugged, indicating that he was powerless.

Ji Xiuyun nodded and asked for confirmation, "So, there must be a target to make a wish?"

"Yes, you have to tell me who or what it is, and you have to clearly think about that person or thing."

Yue An paused for a moment, then continued, "But usually, when you mention something, you will think of it in your mind. It's not a difficult thing."

Ji Xiuyun caught another key point. "What's in your head?"

"Yes."

Yue An nodded. "How else would I know your wish when you couldn't speak?"

Yue An explained, "When the ninth tail is about to grow, we will be able to hear the strongest wish in a person's heart."

"Generally speaking, most of the wishes in a person's heart are related to themselves, but we are still used to making wishes that are said out loud.

However, if the person really suppresses the desire in his heart and wishes for world peace or something that cannot be fulfilled, the cat will basically choose to ignore it and directly fulfill the wish in his heart. "

As for those who did not have themselves in their hearts, they either had relatives or friends who were in danger or had just passed away, and their hearts were filled with unspeakable grief, or they were true saints.

The former would basically wish for their relatives and friends to recover or for their next life to be happy. As for the latter …

Anyway, Yue An and the cats that Yue An knew had never met such saints.

If they met such saints, they would probably become immortals directly.

It was no wonder that they were recorded as omnipotent.

Ji Xiuyun suddenly understood. After all, being able to see through people's hearts was enough to frighten humans and make them not think about it carefully anymore.

"That's why you guys never tell others that you can't fulfill certain wishes," Ji Xiuyun said.

"…" Yue An stared at him with his eyes wide open. "Do we cats not care about our reputation?!"

Ji Xiuyun was speechless.

You make a lot of sense.

Marshal Ji felt that he couldn't refute a cat that cared about its reputation.

Yue An looked down at the paper in his hand, then turned around and grabbed Ji Xiuyun's clothes. "Although I am already very powerful, you must protect me for the next twenty years!"

Yue An looked serious. "In the past, cats were caught and locked up as wishing machines!"

Making a wish once every twenty years, they would be able to obtain wealth, glory, immortality, and grandchildren. It was a great deal.

If Yue An wasn't a nine-tailed cat, he would have grabbed the elders in his clan and made a wish for him to become immortal.

Ji Xiuyun patted Yue An's head and nodded.

Even if something happened to him, he wouldn't let anything happen to Yue An.

If he died, Marshal Kevin would still be able to protect Yue An. If Marshal Kevin died, he still had Xiao Qi.

The commander of the Seventh Army was one of the children that Ji Xiuyun's parents had saved. He had joined the Empire's army to repay their kindness.

If Ji Xiuyun died because of one careless move, the commander of the Seventh Army wouldn't stay in the army anymore. He would definitely run away.

Ji Xiuyun had already made arrangements. If he really wanted to run away, he would bring Yue An, who was very powerful, along with him. Double insurance wouldn't be a problem.

Ji Xiuyun wasn't the type to think too much about the path of retreat. This could be seen from his overly open and candid fighting style.

Occasionally, he would launch a surprise attack to take the enemy's general's head in one fell swoop to boost morale.

Considering his escape route on this basis, the commander of the First Army, who was his real deputy, had to think about it.

However, when it came to Yue An's safety, Ji Xiuyun had carefully prepared three layers of protection.

However, he didn't think that he would fail.

When Yue An saw Ji Xiuyun nod his head, he immediately felt relieved.

Yue An trusted Ji Xiuyun very much.

In his opinion, Ji Xiuyun didn't owe him anything.

He had already said that it was the nine-tailed cat's destiny to fulfill the wishes of humans. If he met an ordinary person or a bad person, he could only accept his fate. If he met a good person, he would be extremely lucky.

He had promised that his tail would allow him to become immortal in the next 20 years. If he could really fulfill his promise, then he would be a rare human who could control his desires.

Yue An was indeed very angry at first. Ji Xiuyun had actually appeared and obstructed him just as his ninth tail was about to grow.

However, if it wasn't Ji Xiuyun, then it would have been someone else. To be honest, Yue An didn't think that Ji Xiuyun's willingness to repay him for saving his life was reasonable.

Just look at the humans who had their wishes fulfilled by cats. How many of them were grateful after making their wishes?

They either left heartlessly or were insatiably greedy and tried to catch the cat and take it away.

Yue An remembered that the old man had once told him that he had met a few humans who had made a promise to make him become immortal in 20 years.

However, these people either died in accidents or changed their minds when the time came.

After all, humans were very fragile and had short lives.

There were too many things that could change in twenty years.

Ji Xiuyun, who had given him spirit stones the moment they met and kept his promise, was simply the best of the best.

He was strong in combat, had a high position, and was filthy rich.

In addition, Yue An was now able to wantonly accumulate spirit stones and spirit energy. Yue An knew that he could basically do whatever he wanted in the universe.

Therefore, Yue An didn't feel that Ji Xiuyun owed him anything. Yue An even felt that he owed Ji Xiuyun a lot of things.

For example, the teaching of words and fighting techniques.

For example, a planet with spirit stone veins.

For example, a mecha.

In addition, Ji Xiuyun didn't have any objections to his character. He was also someone who would occasionally throw a tantrum.

Sometimes, Yue An could clearly feel that he had been pampered to the skies by Ji Xiuyun's unconditional tolerance.

Yue An thought about it and felt that other than letting Ji Xiuyun rub his fur and rub his belly, the only thing left for him to do was to help him deal with the Free Army.

However, without him, Ji Xiuyun would definitely be able to do it. Yue An didn't forget that when he had asked the First Army Commander about it, the First Army Commander had confidently told him that he would be able to do it within a year.

Yue An uncomfortably rubbed Ji Xiuyun's clothes. He thought for a while and said, "You are still young."

Ji Xiuyun: …

Ji Xiuyun:???

"What?" Ji Xiuyun didn't expect the topic to change to this.

It was true that Marshal Ji admitted that he was still young, but why did Yue An sound as if he had been through a lot?

Regardless of body size or personality, Yue An was much younger than him.

Ji Xiuyun thought this naturally. Then, he suddenly realized that Yue An was about to grow his ninth tail when they met.

Moreover, he didn't know how many times he had grown his ninth tail.

Ji Xiuyun looked at Yue An. It was rare for him to stop thinking.

He heard himself ask the person beside him, "Yue An, how old are you?"

"Huh?" Yue An was stunned. "Slightly over 160 years old?

What's wrong? "

Ji Xiuyun was silent for a while. Then, he slowly shook his head and decided to pretend that this didn't happen.

Marshal Ji quickly changed the topic. He asked, "What did you want to say?"

"I wanted to say that since you are still young, if … I mean if …" Yue An hesitantly looked up at Ji Xiuyun cautiously. "If something really happens, I … I can accompany you for another 20 years."

Ji Xiuyun's brain turned sluggish for a while. Then, he finally understood what Yue An meant.

Yue An was saying that if something really happened, he would give him a chance to change his mind.

In other words, he was willing to fulfill one of his wishes.

Ji Xiuyun found it funny. He didn't know whether to tell Yue An not to curse him or to comfort Yue An that something like this wouldn't happen.

Or perhaps, he was touched that Yue An was willing to give him a chance.

This was a rare honor.

In the end, he thought about it for a while. Then, he patted Yue An's head and said, "What if this is the Heavenly Realm that you want to go to?"

Yue An was dumbfounded for two seconds.

Although many of his and Ji Xiuyun's guesses were based on the premise that this universe was the Heavenly Realm, he really hadn't considered this possibility.

Other than eating, drinking, and sleeping, the only thing in his mind was becoming an immortal.

There was also a small part of his mind left for him to think about Ji Xiuyun.

… Okay, actually, only a small part of his mind was left for Ji Xiuyun.

As for what he would do if this really was the Heavenly Realm, Yue An really hadn't thought about it.

"…" Yue An turned to look at Ji Xiuyun.

He felt a little lost, a little wronged, and a little helpless.

However, Ji Xiuyun, who was helpless, could only stare at him without blinking. He was very concerned about his answer.

Yue An gradually became serious.

He pondered for a long time with a serious expression. Then, he looked up and met Ji Xiuyun's focused gaze. He hesitated and answered uncertainly, "Um … Then we should … revive the universe and save the human race?"

"…"

Ji Xiuyun looked at Yue An.

Ji Xiuyun sighed.

Ji Xiuyun chose to give up.

He should have known. How could he have expected Yue An to say anything about staying by his side to accompany him?

Marshal Ji felt that Yue An wouldn't consider this aspect until he solved the problem of his lifespan and appearance.

Yue An didn't wait for Ji Xiuyun's reply. He could only think silently.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was extremely quick-witted!

There was nothing wrong with it!

It didn't matter that he couldn't directly make a wish to revive the Heavenly Realm!

He could save the country in a roundabout way!

Although he didn't know how to do it in a roundabout way!

"I think that this idea is pretty good!"

Yue An rubbed his hands excitedly. "When we catch that guy from the Free Army, we can ask him and see if he has any suggestions!"

After asking him, he would kill them!

He wouldn't let go of anyone who had designs on Kitty Cat.

He would burn the bridge after crossing it!

That was how cruel he was!

Yue An thought that if this was the Celestial Realm, then Ji Xiuyun's cultivation would be much easier after they recovered!

Although he didn't know the cultivation techniques of humans, it didn't matter.

But it didn't matter. It was a small problem for Yue An.

Wasn't it just a matter of making a wish?

There was nothing that couldn't be solved by making a wish. If there was, then he would make two wishes!

Anyway, if this was the Celestial Realm, then he definitely wouldn't become a celestial before he recovered.

This was because a nine-tailed cat that became a celestial wouldn't lose its tail and wouldn't have the Mandate of Heaven. It wouldn't have the ability to fulfill other people's wishes.

On the other hand, Nine-Tailed Cat's combat power would be the most powerful among those of the same level. It was a win-win situation.

Furthermore, there were many benefits to becoming a celestial. Other things aside, as long as he didn't do anything that would harm the heavens and cause him to be struck by lightning, in terms of lifespan, he would live as long as the heavens and earth!

Since ancient times, to humans, immortality was an achievement that many people yearned for their entire lives.

Wasn't this the best way to repay Ji Xiuyun's kindness?

Which human didn't want to become a celestial?

As for him, Kitty Cat, after she became a celestial, she would be able to bring along a poop picker to rub her fur, stomach, and chin. Wouldn't that be even better?

The more Yue An thought about it, the more he felt that it was a wonderful idea.

He jumped to his feet. Just as he was about to share his brilliant and ingenious idea with Ji Xiuyun, the alarms on the battleship began to blare.

The announcement was broadcasted to the entire warship. It was the vanguard of the Free Army.

They had bypassed the Empire's regular army's first line of defense and directly made their way to the main army's path to ambush them.

He had just opened up a brilliant and ingenious idea, and someone had delivered himself to his doorstep!

Yue An's eyes shone brightly. Without any hesitation, he left Marshal Ji, who had no intention of going out, and dashed out of the office like a wisp of smoke. "Thump thump thump", he ran towards the deck.
