Galactic calendar, 2017, November 2nd.

The Empire of Sintes, which had the most abundant resources in the universe and tens of thousands of habitable planets, made big news!

Marshal Ji Xiuyun, the youngest of the three Marshal Generals of the Empire, was ambushed during a routine patrol and his current whereabouts were unknown!

As soon as this news was released, it immediately attracted the attention of all parties.

Ji Xiuyun was a general that the entire Empire thought highly of.

He was young and promising, and his military accomplishments were extremely high. He was a sharp blade that opened up new territory for the Empire. He had conquered a galaxy for the Empire and was known as the Silver Blade of the War God of Sintes.

Most importantly, in the era of the universe where the average lifespan was more than 300 years, this Marshal had just turned 90 years old. He was in the prime of his life and still had a very bright future ahead of him.

Under the pressure of the public, the military pretended to be dead for two days. In the end, they couldn't withstand the pressure and sent a press officer to confirm that the news was true. However, because they didn't find enough evidence to prove that the Marshal Ji had died, the military sent a search and rescue team to the galaxy where the Marshal went missing.

Although the military had made such a statement, the people did not have much hope for it.

After all, the government said that the location of the ambush was on the main planet of the 13th galaxy, and the time of the ambush was before entering the atmosphere of the main planet.

In other words, before the Marshal Ji entered a habitable planet, he went missing in the universe.

Going missing in the universe, not to mention the various radiation problems without a protective suit, just the vacuum environment alone was enough to kill a person in just a few minutes.

Even if his gene level was extremely high and he was known as the commander of the "Army of the War God", it couldn't change the fact that humans were very fragile in the universe.

Throughout the Empire of Sintes, girls who admired heroes and held some kind of idolization feelings fell into a gloomy fog.

On the social media platforms of the Star Web, candles were lit for this outstanding general who was very likely to be sacrificed in the vast universe.

The military was so angry at this group of people who didn't think positively that their heads were about to turn upside down!

The Marshal hadn't even died yet!

His body hadn't even been found!

Can't you think positively!

But the military's optimism was quickly shattered after only one day.

The media went crazy and started to report about it.

The fifth search and rescue team has detected an abnormal gravitational field at the border of the thirteenth galaxy!

The first search and rescue team salvaged the wreckage of the spaceship at the border of the 13th Star System. After examining the materials on the spot, they confirmed that it was the wreckage of Marshal Ji's Ares thruster!

The eighth search and rescue team found the remains of a mechanical suit at the edge of the thirteenth solar system. It was confirmed to be the main power source of Marshal 'Silver Blade'!

The sixth search and rescue team found the main body of the Silver Blade at the edge of the thirteenth galaxy. The damage level was as high as 93%!

The third search and rescue team successfully recovered the main body of the God of War at the border of the 13th Star System. The damage was 70%, and the bodies of the two Marshal's bodyguards were found in the cabin.

Such news came back one after another, and the shadow that shrouded the hearts of the Empire's people grew thicker.

The confidence of those in the military who were still holding on to hope for a fluke was shattered bit by bit.

It was not until the fifth day that the Army received a message from the Fourth Search and Rescue Team through the Army's internal communication system that the hope of a miracle rekindled in their hearts.

Team Four said that they had found the wreckage of the Wargod's safety cabin. After the data was restored, all six safety cabins showed that they had escaped safely.

At present, they had not found the remains of the Marshal, but that did not mean that there was no hope.

After a week of intense search and rescue, the Army stationed on the Imperial Planet received news from the First Army that had been patrolling with Marshal Ji Xiuyun.

They had found traces of the Marshal and confirmed that he was in good condition. The entire army had already left camp and would be returning to the Imperial Planet with the Marshal in three days!

The Army let out a long sigh of relief. The next day, they were finally able to speak with the Marshal who had been missing for a week.

One of Ji Xiuyun's most capable subordinates had been waiting for a long time, and truthfully reported on the purge of the internal spies after his disappearance.

"If possible, I hope that when we reach the Imperial Planet, you can appear in front of the media." The Army's press officer looked at the projection in front of him and could not help but feel nervous.

"Yes." The projected Marshal nodded. His voice was as cold as a piece of ice that would not melt for ten thousand years.

Unlike his calm and relaxed state when facing the Yue An, when Ji Xiuyun was alone with the milky-white furball, he only habitually kept a straight face and did not reveal his emotions.

But in front of his colleagues and the public, he always kept a straight face.

The Empire needed a sharp blade, the Army needed a pillar, and the people needed a road sign.

They needed someone to stand at the top, to stand at the forefront, to guide them, protect them, and give them a sense of security.

Ji Xiuyun was such a person.

Marshal Kevin's golden age had passed, and his physical condition was declining. Ji Xiuyun was the successor that everyone favored.

So he had to be sharp, tenacious, and fierce.

This kind of aura, even though it was just a projection, made the Army's officer, who had never fought on the battlefield before, tremble.

After a short exchange, the Marshal was the first to cut off the communication.

The press officer let out a long sigh of relief. After calming down for a while, he immediately prepared to hold a press conference.

The missing Marshal of the Empire had not been sacrificed. He was about to lead the army back in one piece!

This news excited the people. The media came out in full force and squatted near the address that the military had given them an entire day in advance.

The Marshal, who was eagerly awaited by tens of thousands of people, was currently undergoing a physical examination on his own warship.

No one knew what Ji Xiuyun had gone through. They only knew that the surprise attack had caused the Marshal to go missing. The warship and mecha had suffered heavy losses, and he had also lost the lives of two of his personal guards.

Everyone was prepared for the Marshal to be seriously injured, on the verge of death, or even sacrificed himself. But no one expected that when Ji Xiuyun sent the message, he would be in perfect condition. When he was picked up by a scout ship, he was full of energy. There was nothing strange about him at all.

For the medics in charge of the Marshal's body, it was even more miraculous.

Ji Xiuyun's internal injuries and old ailments had all disappeared. His entire body looked like a new person.

If it weren't for the various identity verification programs that proved that this was the Marshal himself, the medics who came to check on his body would have almost suspected that their Marshal had been replaced by someone else.

There were very few people who did not have old ailments or old injuries on the battlefield.

Ji Xiuyun, who was known as the God of War Silver Blade, was especially so. Although the Marshal's innate gene optimization level was very high and his spiritual power was shockingly strong, he could not avoid this inevitable outcome.

But after returning from his disappearance, Ji Xiuyun's body had actually perfectly recovered to the peak of his gene level!

In the medical room, the medics repeatedly checked the Marshal who had just returned. In the end, they had to admit that their previous judgment was not wrong.

"Marshal, did you encounter something?

Your body … "

"Yes."

Ji Xiuyun responded. He put on his military uniform, sat up, and looked at the little white furball that had squeezed through the gap in the door.

"Meow!"

Yue An jumped onto the bed and squatted on Ji Xiuyun's legs. It flicked its nails and scratched the corner of the bed mattress to show its dissatisfaction.

"Meow!

Meow meow! "

"…" The Marshal lowered his head and looked at the little guy for two seconds. He understood what the little guy meant and explained, "I want to be checked."

Yue An scratched the mattress again. "Meow!"

Is that your reason for abandoning me in a crowd of strangers?

This spaceship is so big!

If it weren't for my sensitive sense of smell, I wouldn't have been able to find you!

Yue An thought. It was so angry that it scratched the mattress again.

The two medics looked at the little milky white animal that was throwing a tantrum. They were a little worried that the little guy's blood would splatter on the spot in the next second. Who didn't know that the Marshal Ji was a cold-blooded killer?

But the reality was completely different from what they had imagined. Under the astonished and somewhat horrified gazes of the two medics, the Marshal picked up the little furball and said, "It won't happen again."

Yue An didn't say anything.

The pair of beautiful cat eyes shrunk into a thin line under the bright light of the medical room. At a glance, it was a beautiful light blue.

The Marshal glanced at the two medics standing at the side. He put the white furball on his shoulder and walked out.

Yue An felt uncomfortable because of the epaulets on Ji Xiuyun's military uniform, but he still knew that he had to give the Marshal some face.

So, after leaving the medical room, he stuck his paw on Ji Xiuyun's face. Then, he unceremoniously slid into Ji Xiuyun's jacket. Only his little head peeked out from Ji Xiuyun's chest.

"… Sorry."

Ji Xiuyun also realized that not everyone could calmly face an unfamiliar environment like him.

Moreover, Yue An was a little guy that he had brought out from his home planet. He didn't even look like he had reached adulthood.

"Can I compensate you with a piece of energy crystal?"

He stretched out his hand and touched Yue An's little head. He scratched his little chin. "And some snacks."

The Marshal spent a few days experimenting with the technique of scratching his chin. He used just the right amount of strength. It was so comfortable that the little furball in his arms squinted his eyes. Even his ears were pressed down. He let out a purring sound, as if he was about to ascend to heaven.

The feeling under his hand was very good. It was fluffy and warm.

The Marshal touched him for a while and put down his hand.

Yue An shook his ears and looked up at Ji Xiuyun.

"Meow."

I'll forgive you for the sake of the spirit stones.

Yue An thought. He stretched his paw out from under Ji Xiuyun's jacket and reached for the Marshal's hand.

Obviously, he wanted to continue being scratched.

However, the Marshal gently pressed his paw down. He looked coldly at the soldiers who were walking around the corner.

The soldiers were also stunned.

They immediately saluted him. "Marshal!"

Ji Xiuyun nodded slightly and walked past them.

Yue An's little head kept looking at the left chest of the soldiers' uniforms. His beautiful blue eyes were wide open.

When he couldn't see the soldiers anymore, Yue An turned his head and looked at the symbol on Ji Xiuyun's left chest.

It wasn't the flag that he was familiar with.

Could it be that there was a change of dynasty in the past few decades or so?

Just as Yue An was guessing, his sensitive ears caught the whispers of the soldiers.

"Is this the little creature that even the science class couldn't recognize?"

"Yes. I heard that he ran away from the cockpit. I didn't have time to see him. I didn't expect to see him here."

"He looks quite cute."

"He doesn't match the Marshal."

"What a joke. If he doesn't match the Marshal, why would he match you?"

"…"

Yue An's little ears twitched. He happily listened to the humans praise him for being cute.

Ji Xiuyun led Yue An through the spacious and bright walkway of the battleship and returned to his room.

When he opened the door, he saw boxes of snacks in the corner.

He took Yue An out of his arms. However, he didn't open the snacks. Instead, he carried Yue An into the bathroom.

A man and a cat faced the mirror in the bathroom.

Yue An was confused.

After a long while, Mr. Marshal frowned slightly as he looked at himself in the mirror in his black military uniform and Yue An, who was dressed in white.

"They don't match?"

No matter how I look at it, they do match.

The Marshal thought so confidently.

Yue An was speechless.

Don't you know if such a cute little kitten matches your standard cold face???

"I think they match quite well."

The Marshal seemed to have seen through Yue An's thoughts. He asked calmly, "Yue An, what do you think?"

Yue An wagged his tail and lowered his head to lick his paws.

"One energy crystal," the Marshal said.

Yue An paused. "…"

The Marshal raised the price expressionlessly. "Two."

Yue An looked up at him.

"Three." The Marshal looked at Yue An and opened his palm. "Do you match?"

Yue An decisively placed his paws on Ji Xiuyun's palm and lowered his head without hesitation.

"Meow!"

Match, match, match!

What a match!

No one is more compatible than us!

If anyone says we don't match, I, Yue An, will jump up and smash his head!
