Yue An squatted on Ji Xiuyun's lap and looked up, but he could not see the projection that was blocked by the table.

However, he could still clearly hear what the First Corps Commander said.

What did Yue An say before?

If they really wanted to find him, they would definitely find him or send him a letter.

Didn't they really come knocking on his door?!

Yue An was still in a daze. He shook his sleepy head and swung his tail to wrap around Ji Xiuyun's wrist. He then hooked onto Ji Xiuyun's jacket and climbed onto his shoulder. He then kicked off the jacket that Ji Xiuyun was wearing because the epaulette was a little clawed.

Marshal Ji tilted his head slightly and glanced at him. He then carried Yue An, who was trying to climb onto his military cap, down and placed him on the table.

The First Corps Commander glanced at Yue An.

He was leading his Corps to be on guard outside the atmosphere, especially the few fixed wormholes near this planet.

Therefore, when the Phoenix Pirate Gang appeared, they immediately discovered them and were instantly on guard.

This was just a simple precaution and not a show of force.

This was because the Phoenix Pirate Gang had never attacked civilians or the military. Every time they moved, their target was very clear. They would directly go to the energy vein planet that they wanted.

During this period, they would not take the initiative to provoke them. Even if they bumped into them, they would still be able to pass by peacefully.

This kind of style could be considered as a rare moderate among the pirate gangs.

The only thing that was especially hateful was that after they took over the energy vein planet, they would chase out all the intelligent life forms on the planet.

On the energy vein planet, there were not only mine owners or managers hired by the mine owners to manage the planet. Ignoring the mining robots, other than the forced recruitment of laborers by the Empire in order to increase the employment rate, most of the people on the energy vein planet were actually exiled criminals.

In the eyes of the exiled criminals, every time the Phoenix Pirate Gang moved out, it was a chance for them to escape.

The Phoenix Pirate Gang would come out once every six to seven years. In the Universe Era where people had a lifespan of up to three hundred years, six to seven years was just the blink of an eye.

Every time news of the Phoenix Pirate Gang was exposed, the exiled criminals on the various energy ore veins would begin to party.

Therefore, even though the Phoenix Pirate Gang's behavior could be said to be stable and friendly compared to other large pirate gangs, they were still at the top of the wanted list of various countries.

The appearance of this pirate gang at such a sensitive time made the commander of the First Army unavoidably alert.

According to the Phoenix Pirate Gang's usual routine, they should have just left without looking sideways. However, just as the First Legion Commander was thinking about this, he received a communication request through the communication channel that was open to the public.

The other party directly requested for a video call.

The eyelids of the First Legion Commander twitched violently. After hesitating for three seconds, he still chose to answer the call.

The projected image was not that of the mature and powerful woman in the information. Instead, it was a tall, feminine looking young man with slightly upturned eyes, exuding an inexplicable charm.

This young man, who was full of lust, raised his eyebrows the moment he saw the First Legion Commander. He went straight to the point. "I'm here for the cat."

The First Legion General felt a toothache.

Why did he want the cat again?

He still remembered that Yue An had previously told someone to ask the prophet to come and find him. Why was it that the person who came to ask for the cat was from such a troublesome pirate gang?

Could it be that the mysterious staff officer of the Free Army was actually the leader of the Phoenix Pirate Gang?!

The First Legion Commander's brain filled in a series of flawless logic. He asked, "You're from the Free Army …?"

"Free Army?"

The young man's face was blank. "I don't know what that is. Ask Yue An to come out. I want to see him."

Therefore, the First Legion Commander turned around and sent a message to Ji Xiuyun.

Yue An looked at the projection behind the First Legion Commander. After the First Legion Commander moved aside, they finally saw each other's images.

Yue An: "…"

Ji Xiuyun glanced at the man and asked his cat in a low voice, "Do you know him?"

Yue An waved his paw. "Meow meow."

He did not know him.

However, he was indeed a fox spirit.

— — He could almost smell the fox's scent through the screen.

The fox youth slammed the table and did not say much. He directly asked Yue An, "Do you want to come up or should I go down?"

Yue An was stunned by his question. "Meow?"

"We've been waiting for you for a long time. We need your help." The fox youth was very honest and straightforward.

Although they were not of the same race, in this world occupied by humans, monsters were almost extinct. Now, as long as there was a monster, they would instantly hug each other's head and call each other family.

When monsters communicated with each other, other than those who liked to lie or talk too much, there were very few twists and turns.

If they really wanted to argue with each other, they would basically fight directly.

Those who would talk nicely were basically showing their goodwill.

Yue An carefully sized up the young man in the projection. He was shocked to find that the signs of death on his face were slowly fading away.

This fox had probably met a benefactor who could avert disaster.

As for this benefactor … Yue An lowered his head and looked at his paw. He thought that this was probably a kitten.

Yue An thought for a moment and turned to look at Ji Xiuyun. After Ji Xiuyun nodded, he turned back and meowed at the fox.

The fox youth understood Yue An's meow very smoothly. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll come down."

This was a very strong fox. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately hung up.

The First Army Commander and the Marshal were in awe of someone who could understand the cat language.

Especially the First Army Commander, who did not know the inside story. He waved his messenger away and expressed a series of shock at this series of actions. "What's going on?

Is that Yue An's race?

Human?

A humanoid intelligent life form? "

Ji Xiuyun thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes."

"Yue An is in the infant stage?

That's not right. Isn't Yue An a cat?

How did they change from their animal form to … "The First Army Commander's words came to an abrupt halt. He seemed to have realized something and was shocked to see Yue An squatting on the table and licking its fur.

Marshal Ji looked up and glanced at him.

The First Army Commander was stunned for a moment and asked, "… Yue An?"

Yue An stopped licking its fur. "Meow."

The First Army Commander waved his hand. "I mean, human … that?"

Yue An looked up with its blue cat eyes and accurately met the First Army Commander's gaze. "Meow!"

The First Army Commander felt that his basic knowledge of biological evolution had collapsed in an instant. It was broken into pieces and could not be pieced back together.

After a long time, he suddenly came back to his senses. His first reaction was unexpectedly, "Then didn't I sleep in the same room as Yue An for almost half a month?"

Yue An: "…"

Ji Xiuyun: "…"

The First Army Commander: "…"

He was most afraid of the sudden silence.

The First Army Commander looked up at their Marshal Ji and saw that the Marshal Ji was silently and coldly looking back at him.

His gaze was as sharp as a knife, spear, and sword. "Swoosh, swoosh." It was as if he wanted to shoot the First Legion Commander into a sieve.

The First Army Commander: "…"

Wait, didn't you take the initiative to send Yue An that small bed??

Now you're shooting daggers at me and blaming me?

You're blaming me?

You're blaming me for everything?

Don't think that I won't dare to hit you just because you're the Marshal!

Let me tell you!

I really don't dare to!

The First Army Commander fell into an awkward silence until he saw a small personal aircraft fly out of the opposing fleet on the screen. He quickly found an excuse to escape from this awkward situation.

"He has set off."

Ji Xiuyun nodded and directly hung up the call.

Yue An jumped down from the table and took the military uniform at the side. He went into the small bathroom and changed into the military uniform.

This was not actually necessary, but Yue An felt that Ji Xiuyun definitely wanted to know what he said to Fox.

Therefore, Yue An turned into his human form and felt that he was extremely considerate.

Ji Xiuyun asked, "What is that?"

"Fox," Yue An answered. "He originally looked like he was going to die, but it seems like he won't die now."

Ji Xiuyun was stunned. "Huh?"

"He met a benefactor who can avert disaster. It's …"

Yue An proudly puffed out his chest and was about to point at himself when he saw Ji Xiuyun staring at him. He suddenly paused.

Wait a minute, if he was a cat, he would not be able to do anything that would defy the heavens and change his fate.

However, Ji Xiuyun could achieve a heaven-defying effect by making a wish to him.

Yue An's words were stuck in his throat and his cat eyes were wide open. "I'm not happy" was written all over his face.

"What's wrong?" Ji Xiuyun asked.

Yue An looked at his cold expression and said, "It's nothing. If Fox asks you what you want later, just listen to me."

Ji Xiuyun didn't hesitate either, simply nodding his head.

Ji Xiuyun and the others were resting on a fortress planet in the western part of the 18th galaxy. It was currently noon and the sun was warm. The surroundings were very quiet and sleepy.

However, this sleepiness was immediately broken by the landing of an aircraft.

It was not the aircraft that broke the silence, but the person who alighted from the aircraft.

Not everyone could be like the Army Commander and Ji Xiuyun and be baptized by Yue An's beautiful face every day.

The sudden appearance of a Vixen with a charm buff, the type that could be dragged to bed on the streets was simply a sensational event.

Disregarding everything else, just the distance from the landing to the meeting room alone made everyone feel like they were being seduced even though he did not even look at anyone else.

Yue An squatted in the meeting room and looked at the surveillance screen. "Sigh, the fox spirit is really powerful. No wonder their race is so rich. They can send people over just by waving their hands."

Ji Xiuyun did not look sideways and said, "I'm also very rich."

Yue An turned to look at him and said half-heartedly, "Yes, yes, you're very rich."

He even wanted to fight for this.

Childish!

The childish Marshal Ji wanted to say that he was also very powerful, but the door to the meeting room was opened.

The fox-like young man, whose entire body was emitting an inexplicable eye-catching power, looked around the room and strode over to the two of them. He then sat down without regard for himself.

"I've heard a lot about you, Yue An," he said. His voice was always seductive.

However, the human and cat in the room were not the type to be seduced.

Yue An even leaned closer to Ji Xiuyun and then leaned forward, looking like he was protecting his food.

Yue An asked, "Where did you hear about me from?"

"We've been waiting for you for tens of thousands of years," the fox spirit said. "We've been waiting since the Immortal Realm began to decline."

Yue An's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the fox spirit in confusion. "This is really the Immortal Realm??"

"Yes." The fox spirit nodded.

Yue An immediately withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He hung his head listlessly. "What's going on …?"

The fox spirit glanced at him and wanted to pat his head to comfort him. However, under Ji Xiuyun's cold and silent gaze, he silently withdrew his hand.

The Immortal Realm's decline could be traced back to thirty thousand years ago.

Just as Yue An had thought, the spiritual energy on Earth would decline. The Immortal Qi in the Immortal Realm was also a kind of consumable resource. As the number of Immortals increased, the Immortal Qi would not be able to withstand the pressure and would gradually collapse.

In the beginning, everyone could sit down calmly and discuss how to deal with the situation. However, in the end, they started to fight.

The reason for the fight was very simple. There were only so many resources. The discussion was actually about how to allocate the remaining resources.

How should the limited resources be allocated?

A small force like yours can't be the same as a large force like mine, right?

However, the small forces were not satisfied, because they also needed to develop.

After a while, the distribution was not evenly distributed, so they started to fight.

They fought until the sky turned dark. The sun and moon lost their light. The stars shattered and reformed, and countless rays of light disappeared.

If they were injured, they would need resources to recover, right?

If their children were about to break through, they would need resources to protect them, right?

If they used spells in a fight, they would need to replenish their Immortal Qi, right?

As the cycle continued, the resources became worse and worse. The remaining resources were also rapidly consumed.

The fewer resources there were, the more anxious they became. The more anxious they were, the fiercer they fought.

In the end, when the Human Immortals were fighting fiercely, the Demonic Immortals were also dragging them down. They hardened their hearts and used the remaining resources of the entire clan to create an ancient array. They directly stuffed the newly ascended Demonic Immortals and their own children who were born in the Immortal World into it. Then, without stopping to rest, they went to find Di Ting, who was said to be able to understand heaven and earth.

Di Ting, who was about to die, said two words when they found them. One was the Nine-Tailed Cat, and the other was Yue An.

After saying that, he died, leaving the Demonic Immortal's great senior stunned on the spot.

Fortunately, at that time, the old fox had just ascended a hundred years ago. When he heard this, he said that he knew the Nine-Tailed Cat called Yue An.

Unfortunately, after he ascended, the passageway between the Heavenly Gate and the mortal world collapsed. He could not return.

After exhausting his mental and physical strength to contact his clansmen in the mortal world, he found out that not long after he ascended, Yue An secretly went to the clan's transportation array. He did not know where he went.

When the old fox heard this news, he broke down.

The Demonic Immortals also broke down.

Fortunately, there were demons who had learned a few tricks from the humans in the clan. With a divination, they pointed out that our hope was tens of thousands of years later.

When the Demonic Immortals heard this, they gritted their teeth and made up their minds. They left the children and the newly ascended Demonic Immortals whose low-level spiritual energy had not been completely replaced by Immortal Qi in this huge and safe array.

Then, they picked up their weapons and fiercely rushed out to fight with the various clans. They moved all kinds of resources into their own nest. They did not use them to treat their own injuries. They stored all of them in the warehouse. When they felt that they were about to die, they went out to find a quiet place to die. No matter what, they could not scare the children.

Just like that, they forcibly opened a way out for the younger generations of the Demonic Immortals.

However, since they had already ascended, those newly ascended Demonic Immortals still had to rely on higher-level resources.

The ores on an energy mineral planet were not enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of those who had already ascended.

Therefore, gradually, the higher-level resources could not make ends meet. One after another, the Demonic Immortals left behind from that era died.

The old fox and the others had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out to find a way out.

As soon as they went out, a few clever brats secretly followed them out. In the blink of an eye, they didn't notice and those beautiful brats with their own merits were captured by the humans.

The remaining children were all excited. It was their first time in human society. They were newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers. They did not greet the group of old seniors and rushed out to save their companions.

The result was, of course, a thousand-mile raid. Their heads were sent out one by one. All of them were captured.

"Later, the old senior led us to form a pirate gang. The first thing we did was to save the children. After this, the old senior died because of the exhaustion of Immortal Qi."

The fox youth took off the phoenix insignia from his lapel and sighed softly.

"The name of this pirate gang was also given by him. It came from the phoenix, which means nirvana and rebirth."
