The Last Cat in the Universe

Chapter 8

Although the medics repeatedly assured that the marshal's physical and mental health were all normal, the captains of the 1st Legion still requested for the marshal to rest for a day.

The Marshal stayed in his room with Yue An the entire day.

They had nowhere to go. After returning to the battleship, they opened a wormhole and the entire fleet entered the wormhole.

One day later, the fleet would leave the wormhole near the Emperor Planet and enter the gravitational channel of the Emperor Planet to make the final landing.

Yue An hugged the spirit stones given to him by the Marshal and gnawed on the Marshal's lap.

Although Yue An was a monster, his cat nature made him habitually find a warm place to nap.

The temperature in the spaceship was constant, so there was no place that was particularly warm. Therefore, Yue An often stayed on the Marshal's lap or on the bed where the Marshal slept.

Healthy people were always warm. In the words of the elders in the clan, they were full of Yang energy.

Ji Xiuyun belonged to the category of people who were full of Yang energy. Although his standard cold face always made people feel cold, the warm feeling on his body was very much liked by cats.

The Marshal didn't stand on ceremony with the other captains. He took a break and stayed in his room the whole day, watching Yue An gnaw on the energy stones. After eating the energy stones, he went to open the big boxes of snacks.

Ji Xiuyun finally found the joy of feeding Yue An.

The little furball stretched out its two paws and hugged his hand. The feeling of eating was very … warm.

Whether it was the feeling of the little tongue licking his finger, the feeling of the palm touching the soft belly, or the feeling of the two paws touching the skin, they all made people feel relaxed and happy.

Yue An, who was being fed, also felt like he was in heaven.

There was someone to feed him, someone to feed him, someone to warm his bed, and someone to sleep on. He couldn't be more happy!

Although his thigh always liked to rub his belly and take advantage of him, it didn't matter. The food he fed him was delicious!

Yue An's tail could not help but curl up at the thought of being able to eat even more delicious food after returning to Earth.

Early the next morning, Yue An poked her head out of the warm blanket and saw Mr. Marshal, who had finished grooming himself and was sitting upright on a chair.

The movement of the Yue An was very small, but it was still very obvious in the overly quiet room.

Ji Xiuyun turned to look at him. "You're awake?"

"Meow."

Yue An answered softly and crawled out of the blanket. It squatted on the blanket, licked its paws, and washed its face.

Mr. Marshal was used to having a furball sneaking under his covers every night.

Previously in the safety cabin, Ji Xiuyun had sternly warned him several times, but under the circumstances, Ji Xiuyun still chose to lower his head in humiliation to the plush forces that exposed their bellies.

Until today, he was able to say good night and good morning to Yue 'an very calmly when Yue' an got into bed.

After Yue An finished licking her fur, she turned around and ran towards the unfinished snack box. She pulled out a bag of untasted snacks and ran all the way to Mr. Marshal's feet.

Unexpectedly, Ji Xiuyun refused to feed her.

"Not today." Mr. Marshal tapped on the translucent panel in front of him. "There's a meeting later."

Several generals on the corvette sent some important reports to Mr. Marshal's optical supercomputer as the outline and information for the military meeting that day.

The reports were simple and direct, without any euphemism like official documents. Between the lines, there was a clear military style.

Mr. Marshal sat in front of a simple office desk in his bedroom and looked at the virtual documents floating in front of him.

Yue An still couldn't understand the words. After jumping onto the desk with a bag of snacks in her mouth, she stretched out her paws and tried to touch the virtual documents floating in front of her. When she realized that it was just a holographic projection, she withdrew her paws and returned to Mr. Marshal's legs with a small yawn.

Mr. Marshal's military uniform was solemn black, but the buttons and the edges of his sleeves were dazzling gold.

The decoration from the center of his military cap to the brim looked like some kind of flower. Pure gold and bright red were intertwined together. It was very beautiful. The coat hanging on the back of the chair was decorated with golden tassels that hung on both sides. It was very eye-catching.

Yue An stared at the tassels and wagged his tail from time to time. Just as he was about to reach out his paws, Ji Xiuyun stood up first.

He gently placed Yue An on the table and looked down at the Yue An who was squatting on the table and looking up at him. He thought for a moment, then took out an energy stone from the cabinet beside him and stuffed it into Yue An's arms.

He had to go to the main ship's conference room for a meeting. It would be best if Yue An could stay in his room and eat the energy stone peacefully.

It would be a big project to find such a large warship if it really got lost.

Besides … the spies couldn't be completely eliminated in the short few days that he was missing.

At least from the reports that had been sent, there were still many spies on this warship that had yet to be found.

"Stay here and don't go out."

After Ji Xiuyun finished speaking, he realized that other than himself and his deputy, no one else could enter the room. He paused for a moment, then opened the drawer and took out a small diamond-shaped decoration.

The main body of this decoration was a beautiful and translucent sapphire. It was much darker than Yue An's eyes. The sapphire was gray and full of artificial feeling. It was a very beautiful combination.

This decoration was very small, only slightly bigger than a thumb. It looked like a pendant because it was attached to a necklace.

But looking at the size, it was probably for a human to wear.

Ji Xiuyun roughly twisted the necklace twice. "Hang it up."

Yue An tilted his head and avoided Ji Xiuyun's hand, indicating his refusal.

"Communicator."

The Marshal explained simply. He demonstrated by pressing the sapphire in the middle. A communication request popped up on his optical computer.

Yue An obediently stretched his head over.

His milky white hair covered the thin chain, leaving only the small pendant on his chest swaying slightly.

"Okay, I'm going to the meeting." The Marshal scratched Yue An's chin.

Yue An squinted his eyes and raised his chin to be scratched. He lazily said, "Meow …"

Ji Xiuyun put on the big cloak on the back of the chair and turned to leave the bedroom.

Yue An hugged the spirit stone and without hesitation, he squeezed into the empty snack box that he had been longing for for a long time. The material of this box was different from the cardboard boxes that Yue An used to like. It was small and narrow, soft to the touch, and had some small holes on top of it. It was simply tailor-made for a kitten. It constantly emitted a cat-like smell.

Yue An had already eaten an entire box of snacks yesterday. Now, he jumped into the empty box, rolled around and dug holes, and was very happy.

Yue An's furry little paws poked around in the holes. After he was done playing, he turned around and hugged his own tail with his four paws. He gnawed on it a few times and felt that it was tasteless in his mouth. Then, he remembered the spirit stone that he had kicked to the corner.

He let go of his tail and hugged the spirit stone. He opened his mouth and revealed his small sharp teeth, and started to gnaw on it.

As his body was filled with spiritual energy, Yue An found that not only did his magic become more powerful, but his physical fitness also became stronger.

Simply put, his claws and teeth were sharper, his legs and feet were more powerful, and even his fur was smoother. In the pitch-black environment, there was even some spiritual light.

These changes made Yue An see a cool future where he could move mountains and seas with a wave of his hand. He was even more certain that he had to rely on Ji Xiuyun's thigh.

It was said that Ji Xiuyun had it!

An entire planet's energy stone vein!!

An entire planet's energy stone!!

An energy stone vein!!!

He didn't dare to do anything. If he just gnawed on it, he would have to gnaw on it for at least a hundred years!!

Yue An happily thought to himself. He continued to gnaw on the spirit stone while wagging his tail.

At this moment, the door to the room was opened.

Yue An's ears trembled slightly. He looked at the door through the hole in the box.

To his surprise, the person who came in wasn't Ji Xiuyun. It was his assistant, whom he had only met twice.

The first time was on the screen in the safety cabin. The second time was when Ji Xiuyun left him in the cockpit.

Yue An didn't have a good impression of this assistant. His impression of this assistant was even worse when he ignored his wishes and forcefully hugged and touched him in the cockpit.

Yue An licked the spirit stone as he watched this assistant enter the room. He seemed to have turned on some kind of device. Then, he began to search around the room.

He didn't seem like someone who was here to help him retrieve something or tidy up the room.

Yue An thought to himself as he licked the spirit stone in his pocket. His round eyes stared unblinkingly at the young man who was searching around the room.

As Yue An watched, he saw that the young man had found a hidden cabinet.

Yue An remembered that the hidden cabinet contained blood samples sent from the medical room. They were collected from Ji Xiuyun's body.

Blood was a very important medium, regardless of whether it was in the scientific or mystical world.

Even the medical personnel who examined Ji Xiuyun's body had to be under Ji Xiuyun's nose the entire time. The remaining blood samples would either be destroyed on the spot or sent to the medical personnel after the preliminary work was done. The follow-up work would also have to be done under Ji Xiuyun's nose. A detailed report would also have to be written.

Yue An narrowed his eyes when he saw his assistant pick up a tube of blood samples. He put down the spirit stone and disappeared from the box.

When Ji Xiuyun had handed the fake communication device to Yue An, he had never expected that Yue An would actually use it.

Therefore, when the communication request popped up in the middle of the military meeting, the Marshal frowned slightly.

The generals below all lowered their heads as if they had not seen anything.

Ji Xiuyun answered the call.

Yue An's big cat face appeared on the screen. His round blue eyes were filled with curiosity as he looked at the camera that had flown out from under the sapphire.

The Marshal paused before he asked, "What's the matter?"

The generals thought that the Marshal was asking about the one who had just spoken. However, when they looked up, they realized that the Marshal was asking about the cute little animal he had brought back.

They had never seen this little fella with their own eyes, but the captains of the corvettes knew that the Marshal had brought this little animal with him when he returned.

Although the generals, who were capable of fighting against a hundred soldiers on the battlefield, were curious, they were very calm and did not show it. Instead, they fixed their gazes on the projection of the communication device that the Marshal had openly displayed.

When Yue An heard Ji Xiuyun's voice coming from the sapphire, he opened his mouth and said, "Meow!"

The little cat did not know how to operate the camera, so it simply swatted the camera away with its paw. Its paw accurately landed on the wall in front of the assistant's face.

The generals sitting in the military meeting room saw the little fella's paw. The projection of the communication device spun until the frightened face of the Marshal's assistant appeared. Then, with a click, the camera turned black.

Ji Xiuyun squinted his eyes. The general sitting next to him swiftly pulled up the surveillance footage of the Marshal's room.

There was no one on the screen, nor was the little white ball. Everything was normal.

The Marshal suddenly stood up when he saw a few boxes in the corner that had not been moved.

The generals stood up and followed him without hesitation.

When the group of soldiers entered the Marshal's room, the first thing they saw was the assistant of the Marshal, who was frozen in place in an attempt to escape. In front of the assistant was a hidden cabinet that had been pulled open. He was holding a blood sample in his hand.

On the wall in front of him was a broken miniature camera that was firmly embedded in the wall.

They scanned the room and saw a little fella on the desk. Its entire body was inside a big bag of snacks, leaving only a milky white tail swaying outside.

The little fella seemed to have sensed their arrival. It retreated from the bag, shook its fur, and meowed softly at them.

Its meow was so sweet that it could kill.

However, the generals under Ji Xiuyun looked at the camera that was still firmly stuck on the wall, and then looked at the delicate, cute, and soft little fellow on the desk. When the other party jumped down from the desk and walked over, they all took a big step back in unison.

Yue An: …???

Why did you take a step back?

Why did you take a step back?

Don't you guys want to touch the cute kitten?????
