The Last Cat in the Universe
Chapter 78
When Yue An heard that there was gossip, he immediately straightened his chair and took the sketchbook from Ji Xiuyun's hands. Then, he placed the letter inside the sketchbook that Ji Xiuyun had spread out.
Then, he quickly wrapped up a portion of roast duck and stuffed it into Ji Xiuyun's mouth before he could react.
"Is it delicious?" Yue An asked.
Ji Xiuyun bit on the roast duck wrapped by Yue An. His gaze wandered between Yue An and the sketchbook that Yue An had put away. After he slowly finished eating the roast duck, he copied Yue An and wrapped a portion for himself. Then, he reached out and placed it on Yue An's plate.
Then, he slowly said, "Actually, I've already finished reading the sketchbook."
Yue An: "…"
You're so annoying.
Can we not talk about this anymore?
Even eating can't stop you from talking!
Yue An grumbled as he took a bite of the roast duck. Then, he gave Fox another portion of the roast duck.
Fox was flattered and took it.
Why is it so fat?
Isn't this cat very protective of its food?
"What's with that expression?" Yue An looked at him and said unhappily, "Am I such a stingy cat?!"
Fox: "…"
You were protecting your food just now.
The food that was being protected was Marshal Ji Ji Xiuyun. While Yue An was eating, he slowly wrapped another portion of roast duck and placed it on Yue An's plate.
Yue An stretched out his leg and lightly kicked Fox's toes. "Tell me, what's wrong with that person?
Why did he want to catch me? "
"Oh." Fox looked coldly at the demon and human sitting across from him.
The two of them had no self-awareness at all. They kept giving each other bags and eating each other's bags. They were so dazzling that it almost blinded the fox's eyes.
Fox retracted his gaze and dipped the roast duck in the sauce all by himself.
The situation was like this.
The little flower fairy was a flower demon that had just cultivated a human form not long ago. After reading a lot of books left behind by the old seniors, she really wanted to have a spectacular and earth-shattering relationship with a human.
Old monsters would not restrict these kinds of thoughts. To put it bluntly, she would only realize that she should turn back after hitting a wall.
Other than the cultivation maniacs who were completely addicted to cultivation, the juniors in the clan all had their own ideas. They would go out and have fun, then run back with bumps all over their heads. They were the type that did not want to go out and have fun again.
So, when the little flower fairy said that she wanted to go out to date, they let her go. They only gave her a restriction that she was not allowed to say anything about the secret of the demon clan's formation.
In the end, she was was was was not a normal person would not care would would not be a normal person would not be a normal person would not be a normal person.
The old monsters wouldn't care about this kind of situation. It was just a child falling down on the path of growth. It really wasn't a big deal that was worth a big fuss.
The little Flower Fairy also returned to normal after crying for a few days. She obediently ran to the fox to report the situation this time, including the talismans and some other things that the scum man had swindled away.
"The little flower fairy taught that man divination and stargazing and left him a few talismans to protect himself."
Fox said while eating porridge, "But she did not tell me that she mentioned you."
Yue An was eating a tea egg. Ji Xiuyun who was already full was looking at a bowl of soy milk in front of him. He had just taken a sip and his expression was very serious.
Fox said in a vague voice, "She probably just casually mentioned you?
After all, you are already a legendary person in the clan. "
"Oh." Yue An thought about it and agreed, "Teaching that person divination, did she not tell him the consequences?"
Fox was stunned, "What?"
"That person has been using divination for the past few years. According to a human's lifespan of three hundred years, he is not far from death." Yue An said.
"Oh ….. She probably forgot to mention it."
Fox put down the bowl in his hand, "After all, it is common knowledge for monsters to not reveal the secrets of the heavens. Who would specifically mention this common knowledge?"
If the little flower fairy was still with that human, she would have told him when he was about to reveal the secrets of the heavens, but the little flower fairy had been angered by him and ran away.
This should be karma. Fox thought about it and then reached out his hand to Yue An, "Give me that transfer talisman. Although there is no need to specifically look for trouble, since I've met him, it shouldn't be a problem for me to find him."
Yue An turned to look at Ji Xiuyun.
Fox was clearly planning on directly destroying the Free Army's headquarters.
If he directly destroyed the Free Army's headquarters, there would be no need to fight this battle. He could just send an army to take over their forces.
For the overall battle situation, this would be a very good thing.
However, Ji Xiuyun could not just casually accept it.
It was not because of anything else. It was because the difficulty of this battle was not high, so the various armies had brought a large group of rookies. This included the two armies that Marshal Kevin had brought over.
Now that they had split into two groups, they would rampage through everything. They would only occasionally encounter fierce resistance from the old government army.
For the rookies, no matter what the battle situation was, it was very valuable experience.
Moreover, if they destroyed the Free Army's headquarters, they would still resist. They might even fight with their backs against the wall, making them seem even fiercer.
In the end, Ji Xiuyun thought about it for a while before saying, "Just focus on that man alone. Many thanks."
"No problem."
Fox took the transfer talisman from Yue An's hands. Just as he was about to tear it, he took back his hand, "How long until you make your next wish?"
Yue An did some calculations, "A little over 19 years."
Fox's crafty eyes looked between Yue An and Ji Xiuyun. Then, he glanced at Yue An's hand, which was about to reach for the crab-roe basket drawer.
The bright red marriage line on it was thick and sturdy.
Fox nodded, "Alright then. You guys take your time. I'll get someone to organize the human cultivation methods and bring them out. It will take about two months for you to come out in one direction."
The formation was complex and ever-changing. Every time someone wanted to come out, they would first need half a month to figure out how to get out. The more people there were, the more time it would take. Otherwise, they would have come to Yue An long ago.
"Can't the human communication method work?" Yue An pointed at the communicator and photon computer.
Fox shook his head, "No, the formation has completely isolated the space. The news about you was brought back by a little guy who just came back from training four months ago."
Coincidentally, they were also preparing to set off to save the energy mine planet. After they took it, they immediately rushed over to Yue An.
Yue An nodded and waved his hand, indicating that Fox could leave.
Fox immediately tore the talisman and disappeared from the room with a "whoosh".
Yue An used his elbow to poke Ji Xiuyun, who was still looking at the soy milk with a serious expression, and said, "Open the window for ventilation."
Ji Xiuyun tilted his head, "Hm?"
"The whole room is filled with fox's scent!" Yue An wrinkled his nose and sniffed around Ji Xiuyun.
Ji Xiuyun tightened his grip on the soy milk cup and almost spilled it all over the table.
Yue An sniffed for a while and found that Ji Xiuyun still had his scent. His furrowed brows relaxed a little.
After all, Fox was a fox that had become an immortal. In terms of strength, Yue An was no match for him.
Monsters like them who had cultivated their animal forms all had their own scent. This was a completely uncontrollable behavior.
It was just like how Yue An kept rubbing against Ji Xiuyun all day long after they had separated from each other for half a month, trying to get the cat scent back. Fox stayed in the room for a while and the whole room was filled with his scent.
When he stayed here and acted friendly, it was still alright. However, the moment he left, that aura made Yue An feel uncomfortable all over.
After all, cats were very territorial animals.
Yue An held a roujiamo in one hand and groped around on the table with the other. After a long time, he couldn't find anything that could activate the room's control system. He turned to Ji Xiuyun and asked, "How do I open the window?"
Ji Xiuyun answered, "Manually."
This fortress planet didn't completely rely on automated technology. For safety reasons, there were many places that used less high-tech machinery than ordinary cities.
For example, most windows were manually opened.
Yue An was very unhappy when he smelled the fox scent in the room. However, he didn't want to put down the food in his hand, so he nudged Ji Xiuyun and said, "Open the window."
Marshal Ji put down the soy milk in his hand and stood up. He more or less understood the meaning behind Yue An's actions.
Wild beasts would always leave scent marks on their possessions and territories. This was an instinct.
Ji Xiuyun was quite happy that Yue An treated him as his possession.
Especially after Fox appeared, Yue An's subtle nervousness and protective behavior made Ji Xiuyun want to pull him into his arms and give him a good squeeze.
Marshal Ji opened the window and stood there looking at Yue An, who was engrossed in eating.
Perhaps it was the cat's instinct to be elegant and reserved, but in his human form, Yue An looked quite good even when he was eating.
The sunlight shone into the room and covered his snow-white hair with a layer of warm light. It flowed and danced with his movements, like the warm sun falling on a snowy landscape in the early winter. Even his eyelashes were translucent, as if the snow was about to melt.
Ji Xiuyun enjoyed watching Yue An's beauty.
The beauty who was being admired was chewing on her roujiamo. Suddenly, she paused and looked as if she was choking.
Ji Xiuyun turned his head and looked at the drinking fountain. When he was about to get a glass of water for Yue An, Yue An raised his head and looked around the table. He picked up the soy milk that Ji Xiuyun had just drunk and took a big gulp.
"Wait!" Ji Xiuyun raised his hand and strode to Yue An's side.
But it was too late.
He watched helplessly as Yue An's choked expression turned into a meltdown in a second. Her eyes widened and her face flushed red. Tears welled up in her blue cat eyes, making her look extremely pitiful.
He looked left and right, trying to find the trash can.
But he didn't find the trash can. It was partly because his vision was blurred by tears and everything was distorted.
Yue An hesitated for a full second between spitting it out and swallowing it. Then, he revealed a resolute expression, his Adam's apple moving slightly, and he swallowed it down forcibly.
Ji Xiuyun hissed softly.
On the other hand, Yue An was like a deflated balloon. With a "puff" sound, he collapsed on the table.
Ji Xiuyun: …
Tragic.
Tragic, tragic, tragic.
He looked like he had died a heroic death.
Marshal Ji strode over and patted Yue An's back sympathetically when he saw the hopeless expression in Yue An's eyes that had lost their luster.
After all, he had also taken a sip of that thing. Among a bunch of delicious food, this thing that looked like a drink was simply unpalatable.
Yue An was comforted and took two deep breaths.
Yue An groaned weakly.
Yue An raised his hand weakly and raised his finger. He said to Ji Xiuyun, "I think the old fox hates me."
"No." Ji Xiuyun comforted him symbolically. He paused and asked, "What is this?"
"Soy milk."
Yue An sat up and sniffed pitifully. "The old fox tricked me into drinking it once."
Marshal Ji nodded as he recalled Yue An's cat face in the picture album. Yue An had an out-of-body experience while looking at a bowl of soy milk.
The old fox's drawing skills were really good.
Yue An wiped away the tears from his eyes. Ji Xiuyun picked up the call from the First Army's commander.
The First Army's commander was about to report the Phoenix Pirate Gang's retreat and the Second Army's commander's recent situation. However, when he looked up, he saw Yue An's crying face.
The First Army's commander was stunned for two seconds. He turned to look at Ji Xiuyun, who had a calm expression.
Was this the scene of a young couple having a fight?
The First Army's commander looked at Yue An and then at Ji Xiuyun. He hesitated and said, "Marshal, I … I'll report it later?"
Ji Xiuyun did not understand the meaning behind his words. "Huh?"
"…"
The First Legion's Commander looked at Yue An's crying face and then looked at their Marshal, who had a cold and calm expression.
Then, the First Army's commander, who was more than 30 years older than his superior, looked at Ji Xiuyun with a suggestive expression.
Ji Xiuyun turned to look at Yue An, who was about to reach out to eat. He glanced at Yue An's aggrieved face and his eyes that were filled with tears. Finally, he looked at the First Army's commander, who was full of pain and condemnation.
Ji Xiuyun, "…"
Ji Xiuyun, "???"
What do you mean??
'Do I look like a scumbag who would make someone cry?!'
