The Empire's attack on the Free Army was going smoothly.

On Marshal Ji's social media account, there were many new news about the Empire's victory in the short span of two months.

When only the Old Government Army was left, Yue An finally left the main ship and the guerilla warfare battlefield. He brought his Meow Meow ship and caught up with the Old Government Army.

Without the militia, the battlefield was much more professional. There was less compassion and indignation. The traces of artillery fire were more merciless.

Yue An was very active in the last two months. It was as if he didn't need to rest at all. As the Free Army retreated again and again, he brought a team of five Marshal Ji's direct subordinates and specially took advantage of the fact that they were exhausted in the middle of the night to touch their butts.

His mecha was completely black, and when it moved, only a few faint blue lines could be seen. It would often appear soundlessly like a ghost, suddenly appearing in the heavily guarded camp and opening fire at the slightest disagreement.

This young man was simply a monster.

On the battlefield where laser weapons were the main weapons, he would often leave his mecha and personally go into battle. His delicate and beautiful face stained with blood only made the Free Army's hair stand on end.

The Old Government Army was led by Ji Xiuyun. It was as dark as a dark cloud. In the middle of the night, they had to be on guard against Ji Xiuyun's assistant, Marshal Kevin's adopted son, leading a surprise attack.

This was simply a double torture to their bodies and minds.

The remaining Free Army soldiers were battered and exhausted.

The internal chaos caused them to be completely defeated. The Old Government Army stubbornly resisted for three months before finally choosing to surrender.

Yue An stood on Meow Meow's palm and carefully observed the remaining prisoners of war. He was extremely vigilant against any talismans that they might have.

As expected, he found a few talismans on a few officers. Before they could commit suicide, he immediately seized them.

Ji Xiuyun didn't go with him.

This was because Marshal Ji had agreed to Yue An's request and began to seriously learn how to read.

That's right.

You can't expect the demonic immortals from different eras or worlds to use the language of the Empire of Sintes, can you?

Other than the Chinese characters used by the old fox and the other few foxes, Yue An could not recognize any of the other characters used by the Yue An.

Every time he saw Ji Xiuyun holding a book and studying diligently, Yue An couldn't help but recall the scene when Ji Xiuyun had taught the cats to study.

Life was full of ups and downs. Now, it was time for Kitty to press Ji Xiuyun's head and make him learn.

It was simply wonderful.

Yue An jumped down from Meow Meow's palm and patted his mecha after seeing that the prisoners had been taken in.

A few beams of light flashed across Meow Meow's vision. Then, it stood up on its own and ran to the mecha maintenance yard to stay with the Silver Blade.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Meow Meow — of course, it was called Thunderclap to the outside world. They could tell that Yue An's mecha was actually a variant of the Silver Blade.

Occasionally, the two mechas would run out to test their performance under the control of the AI. From afar, they looked like twins with different colors.

In the beginning, the soldiers would whisper in their hearts that Marshal Kevin and his adopted son were shameless. How could they create a mecha that was similar to the Silver Blade?

But now, the soldiers could only think in their hearts, 'Our Marshal really dotes on Marshal Kevin's adopted son.'

Ji Xiuyun's special treatment of Yue An was obvious to all.

It wasn't just the hug and gaze he unconsciously gave Yue An during the first battle of this expedition.

Let's not talk about anything else. Let's talk about the fact that the marshal had directly given Yue An the authority over Silver Blade!

When they saw Yue An enter the Silver Blade without any obstruction for the first time, all the soldiers in the mecha field were dumbfounded. The huge field fell silent.

Later on, everyone had numbly accepted that Yue An would occasionally take the Silver Blade out to play while Meow Meow was undergoing maintenance.

They were the Marshal. They didn't put up any defenses against Marshal Kevin's adopted son.

But fortunately, this kind of lack of defenses went both ways.

At least, the soldiers knew very well that the unheard-of method their superior had been using recently was directly shared with them by Yue An after he figured it out.

The division that belonged to Ji Xiuyun had always been clear about rewards and punishments. Every battle, every opportunity, and every turning point were all recorded clearly.

There was even a military merit board within the division. If there were any mistakes or abnormalities, they could directly report them to the higher-ups. After verification, the corresponding changes would be made.

What could military merit do?

Military merit symbolized military rank, military rank symbolized status, and status symbolized money, power, and honor.

If one had a high military merit in three large-scale battles, they could be promoted by Marshal Ji and directly become a general. This kind of merit would be fought over.

However, Yue An generously handed over this technique to the seven Corps Commanders under Ji Xiuyun. This technique was enough to make him a famous general of a generation and leave his name in history.

This action allowed the soldiers under Ji Xiuyun to see the extremely thick and sturdy double arrow between the Marshal and his deputy Marshal.

He was strong, good-looking, and young.

Although he didn't have any status yet, in terms of status and talent, they could almost foresee his smooth future.

If this kind of person was together with their Marshal, they wouldn't feel any sense of disharmony.

Yue An, who was regarded as the Marshal's wife by the entire "Army of the Gods of War", ran back to Ji Xiuyun's temporary room and gave him all the talismans that he had collected.

Ji Xiuyun glanced at the talismans and carefully put them away.

Yue An gave him the entire talisman book and said that he should keep it for self-defense.

Yue An stretched his head and looked at the page in front of Ji Xiuyun. He saw that one side was a comparison of Chinese characters, and the other side was something that looked like a form.

Yue An pointed at the form and asked, "What are these?"

Ji Xiuyun paused for a moment before replying, "Marriage registration procedures."

Yue An looked up at him.

Ji Xiuyun calmly looked back.

"What's the use of a marriage certificate?" Yue An didn't really understand the formalism of humans.

"Stamp and status," Ji Xiuyun replied.

He was silent for two seconds before he added, "I want everyone to know that we are already together."

Yue An tilted his head and didn't refute Ji Xiuyun's words. Instead, he said, "But my identity is fake."

Ji Xiuyun immediately grasped the main point and said, "So, you agree."

Yue An blinked.

"Your identity isn't a problem." Ji Xiuyun's expression revealed a rare gentleness. "It's fine as long as you agree."

Yue An waved his hand. He didn't really care.

He didn't really care about this.

His identity was fake, his registration information was fake, and everything was fake. The marriage certificate couldn't prove anything. He didn't understand why Ji Xiuyun wanted that certificate so much.

Just as Ji Xiuyun had said, the reason why Yue An was unhappy and didn't agree was that Ji Xiuyun's confession and proposal weren't serious enough.

Simply put, he wasn't sincere enough.

However, Yue An had already seen Ji Xiuyun's attitude, so he didn't care about this at all.

Just like how you can't force a cat to bark, you can't expect Ji Xiuyun to awaken the skill of sweet-talking overnight.

Ji Xiuyun didn't know how to be romantic, and he didn't know how to create surprises.

He only knew how to put everything he had in front of you and let you choose for yourself. Then, he would tell you what he thought very honestly.

Ji Xiuyun's sweet-talking ability couldn't be found at all. Yue An could only sense that it was pure truth.

This person said whatever he wanted to say, and whatever he said was the truth.

When Ji Xiuyun expressed his inner desires, he didn't beat around the bush at all. Just like when Yue An had just turned into a human, Ji Xiuyun would seriously tell him that he had to wear clothes in front of a normal adult male.

Therefore, when Ji Xiuyun said that he wanted to get a stamp and get a marriage certificate, he probably really wanted it.

For a monster like Yue An, when two monsters got together, it was very rare for them to make a big fuss.

Basically, when two monsters had been together for a long time, or when they liked each other, they would hit it off and solemnly swear an oath to the heavens. Then, they would move out of their nest and into a new nest. Other than that, there weren't many changes.

However, humans were more used to holding a ceremony and inviting a large group of friends and relatives. Even cultivators were used to doing this.

When Yue An wanted Ji Xiuyun to be his partner, he didn't have high expectations.

It would be best if he could pamper and coax him. However, it was also good to just accompany each other and live a good life. When Ji Xiuyun became a cultivator, the human and the monster would solemnly swear an oath to each other. Then, they would be considered legal partners recognized by the heavens and earth.

A marriage certificate wasn't necessary for Yue An. However, if Ji Xiuyun wanted it, it wasn't a big deal. Yue An was willing to cooperate.

So be it. Who asked me to pamper him?

Yue An pulled a stool and sat beside Ji Xiuyun. Just as he was about to take a look at the registration form, he saw a few books on Ji Xiuyun's table.

He looked around twice before he reached out and stuffed the books on dual cultivation into his Heaven and Earth Sleeves.

Yue An felt that he should go and make up for it.

He needed to make up for the lesson on how to make Ji Xiuyun meow.
