Yue An had a strong obsession with catmint.

Catmint was not addictive. Yue An had always wanted it because it felt good to inhale it, and it also felt very close to him.

Cats looked cold and indifferent, but they were naturally fearful of unfamiliar environments. Wild cats were slightly better. Yue An was a house cat that had been adopted before it even opened its eyes, so it was especially clingy to humans and its own kind that it was familiar with.

For example, Yue An's first owner, and the elders in the clan who always held cigarettes in their mouths, stroked his fur, and talked to him about great principles.

Now, they were all gone. Yue An missed them so much that even the word "Earth" had a special meaning in his mind.

The only thing that made him feel familiar was the catmint.

Yue An remembered that his first owner had always wanted to bring back some catmint, but the little girl did not have much pocket money, so she had never been able to buy one.

Yue An also began to think about the things that she had been thinking about all the time.

Later, Yue An was brought back to the clan by the elders. He still remembered the catmint, so he discussed with a few other cats in the clan who had been enlightened for many years to buy a few pots of catmint to inhale. The restless nine-tailed cats hit it off and quietly turned into their human forms and ran out. In the end, they were all smelled by a large pile of catmint and fell down on the street in the flower and bird market.

After they were brought back to the clan, they were grounded by the elders. As the youngest and naughtiest cat, Yue An was also slapped hard on the thigh by the elders.

The memory was very deep.

Now that he thought about it, Yue An's little butt still hurt.

Yue An was a very smart cat. Although he was always lazy and did not want to learn, when he started to learn seriously, his progress was very fast.

When he was on the desolate planet, he learned the most basic sound sheet from Ji Xiuyun, who taught him the pronunciation sheet, in just a few days. He even learned how to tell Marshal Ji his name by tapping on the panel!

During the three days of waiting for the trial to start, the commanders of the Seventh Army squatted in the virtual community every day to accompany the kitten — except for the commander of the Seventh Army, who was almost catophobic.

When there were no military matters, staying in the virtual community wouldn't affect anything. If something really happened or someone came looking for him, he could just leave the virtual community.

In order to better supervise the Yue An's learning, the Legion Commanders had even brought over a Universe Sandbox. The few of them were divided into two or three camps, where they were fighting and deducing.

Yue An finished four books in three days and finished the related questions. He held the four catmint reagents given to him by Ji Xiuyun and wagged his tail happily.

Marshal Ji was going to start the court session today.

He put on a very formal military uniform and took out the medals that symbolized honor one by one from the dust-proof display cabinet in the room. He wore them on the shoulders of his cloak and on both sides of his chest.

Ji Xiuyun had been performing meritorious deeds for the past few years and had won many great battles.

The first thing he did after being promoted to Marshal Ji was to follow the orders of the previous Emperor and lead an army to conquer an entire galaxy. During this period, he had not lost a single battle and was worthy of being called the God of War.

Similarly, the number of medals he had received was very impressive.

Yue An was squatting on the bed, chewing on a spirit stone in his arms. Next to him were four test tubes filled with a green solution. Under the sunlight that seeped in through the window, they reflected a jade-like translucent and moving green halo.

The size of the test tubes was quite impressive. One of them was equivalent to three of the ones he had received from the Scientific Research Department.

The milky-white furball was holding a stone that was emitting a faint purple light. He gnawed on it bit by bit, but his eyes never left the person standing in front of the wardrobe.

Ji Xiuyun's mood was a little strange today.

Yue An could clearly feel it.

If Ji Xiuyun normally gave him the feeling of a large river flowing slowly on the plains, then the current Ji Xiuyun was like a huge waterfall crashing down on the earth. The heavy waves crashed down fiercely, as if they were going to break through the earth at all costs and burst out unscrupulously.

Simply put.

Ji Xiuyun looked like he was going to fly into the sky and explode with the sun.

Yue An gnawed on the spirit stone and turned over. He spread his little belly and looked up at the completely upside down Marshal Ji.

Ji Xiuyun's hands were very steady as he buckled the medals of honor onto his cloak one by one. Even the frequency of his breathing did not fluctuate at all.

Yue An watched as the Marshal put on all the medals in the transparent wardrobe. He swung his tail and lightly patted the bedding, making a very soft "pa" sound.

Marshal Ji paused for a moment and tilted his head to look at his cat.

Yue An kicked the stone in his arms to the side, jumped off the bed and ran to Marshal Ji's side. He looked up at him and meowed coyly.

Ji Xiuyun lowered his head to look at him.

The sunlight spread into the room and fell on the soft white furball's body. He was like a snowman warmed by the sunlight, revealing a precious warmth amidst the cold.

The beautiful cat's eyes, which were as beautiful as the blue sea and the blue sky, were staring straight at him. Spots of gold fell into the transparent air, just like another beautiful sky where the morning sun rose.

The person who was being watched by this beauty felt as if he was being embraced by the sky.

Ji Xiuyun was silent for a long time. He put on his cloak and bent down to pick up his cat. He turned and walked out of the bedroom, but he did not go downstairs directly. Instead, he stopped at the door of the master bedroom.

Yue An stayed in Marshal Ji's arms and looked up at him. Then, he looked curiously at the door of the master bedroom in front of him.

He had already explored every corner of Ji Xiuyun's house. Only the master bedroom, which Ji Xiuyun had never entered, made him keep a respectful distance from it.

There was no other reason.

He just felt that since Ji Xiuyun did not want to go in, there was no need for him to go in.

Although he was very curious as to why Ji Xiuyun did not sleep in the master bedroom but in the side bedroom, Yue An suppressed this curiosity very well.

But now, Ji Xiuyun seemed to be ready to take him in.

Yue An stretched his head out in surprise and watched as Ji Xiuyun raised his hand to open the door.

There was nothing scary or special on the other side of the door. It was just a bedroom.

This bedroom was completely different from Ji Xiuyun's cold, black, white, and gray bedroom. It was filled with a warm atmosphere of life. The beige curtains were tightly shut, but they could not block out the rising sun. The color of the room was softly beige because of the sunlight that seeped through the curtains.

The bed in the main part of the room was very big. It was not a very luxurious design, just a standard large bed. The bed was covered with a warm, orange-yellow bedding, and the bedpost was a slightly yellowish white.

There was a small bookcase in the bedroom. There were some medical and logistical books on the bookcase. There was also a book called "The Basics of Mecha Repair" on the beige bedside table. There was a bookmark that stuck its head out of the bookcase.

Next to the bookcase was a dressing table. There were a few beautifully shaped bottles on top of it. All kinds of tools were placed messily on the table. It seemed like the owner was a woman who was in a hurry.

There was a desk in front of the window. There were a lot of messy mechanical tools on the desk. There were a few books that were flipped open and pressed to a fixed page. They were casually placed in a place that could be easily accessed.

There was a toolbox next to the desk. There were two dirty gloves on the edge of the toolbox.

Yue An turned his head and looked around. Finally, his gaze landed on the wall that led to the door.

The entire wall was covered with all kinds of photos. They looked brand new.

Yue An knew about these photos. These photos were made with a very simple card chip. It was easy to store and store them. A light tap would project a holographic image. There were a few of them in the living room.

Marshal Ji hugged his cat and sat cross-legged on the ground in front of the wall.

This was Ji Xiuyun's parents' room.

Yue An suddenly realized this because he saw the people in the photos in the living room in the family photos on the wall.

It turned out that they were Ji Xiuyun's parents.

They looked really young.

Yue An looked at the photos and more or less guessed some things.

These photos had been broken when Ji Xiuyun was still a young man. Ji Xiuyun was now an adult. According to the current human lifespan on Earth, Ji Xiuyun's parents had probably been gone for decades.

The appearance of this room was probably perfectly preserved from the time when Ji Xiuyun's parents had left.

It was full of life. It was as if they had just left in a hurry and would be back soon.

Ji Xiuyun didn't say anything. He just looked at those photos quietly, and from time to time, he lowered his head and touched the little furball that was lying on his lap obediently. He didn't make a sound and just quietly accompanied him.

Yue An rubbed against Ji Xiuyun. His calloused hands were very rough, and it was quite comfortable to rub against him.

Marshal Ji's emotions, which were about to explode, gradually calmed down as time passed.

He stroked the Yue An on his thigh, and after the hour hand had passed more than half a circle, he finally calmed down the suffocating feeling in his chest.

"Alright." Marshal Ji Xiuyun's voice was as calm as ever. "I should go now."

"Meow." Yue An jumped down from his lap and followed him to the door.

The two army commanders who were going to attend the court hearing with Ji Xiuyun had just arrived. They saluted and greeted him, "Marshal Ji Xiuyun."

The two Legion Commanders were also dressed formally today. There were also several medals on their shoulders and left chests.

Ji Xiuyun tilted his head and nodded slightly at them. Then, he turned back and squatted down, gently scratching Yue An's chin. Listening to Yue An's purring sounds and looking at Yue An's beautiful cat eyes that were squinting comfortably, Ji Xiuyun flipped his big hand without any warning, causing the little cat who was still immersed in comfort to fall on his back.

Yue An opened his eyes in a daze. His blue eyes seemed to be stained with water. He looked at Marshal Ji Xiuyun pitifully.

"Be good today."

Marshal Ji poked Yue An's belly. He opened his mouth and wanted to promise him something, but he realized that Yue An's favorite things were very easy to satisfy. He did not need any rewards.

Other than power crystals, delicious food, and catmint, the only thing Marshal Ji Xiuyun could think of was a mecha.

He could play with a mecha.

However, a mecha required both hands to operate or spiritual power to synchronize. The former obviously could not be achieved. Yue An's spiritual power was very strong. However, under the synchronized mode, the mecha would move according to the operator's movements.

When he thought about how a perfectly fine mecha would roll around and lick its paws while Yue An was operating it, Ji Xiuyun immediately erased the idea of bringing Yue An to play with a mecha.

No matter what … the mecha was innocent.

Yue An swung his tail and hugged Marshal Ji's finger that was poking his belly. He tilted his head in confusion and said, "Meow?"

"It's okay."

Marshal Ji retracted his hand. He looked at Yue An who was still looking at him with his belly exposed. He felt a rare sense of defeat.

He said calmly and calmly, "If only you were human."

At least he could bring him to play with a mecha.

Now, it seemed that he, as a Marshal Ji Xiuyun, was useless. He could not find a way to please a cat. Yue An could easily get whatever he could give.

Yue An blinked his eyes and meowed softly.

"Let's go." Ji Xiuyun stood up.

"Meow."

Yue An swept his tail on the ground and watched Ji Xiuyun get into the car. He slowly turned over and sat up.

After eating so many spiritual stones, he could have turned into a human long ago.

However, as a cat, he still liked his original form. He was fluffy, petite, and cute. He was very likable.

He was also regarded as an ancient treasure from the era of the universe.

Yue An felt that his original form was perfect.

However, if Ji Xiuyun wanted him to transform into a human form, then it was not impossible to reluctantly transform.

Yue An closed the door and went back to Ji Xiuyun's room. He held the spiritual stones and continued to eat them. His tail gently patted the soft quilt under him.

He wondered if Ji Xiuyun would beat his head to pieces if he secretly turned into a human in the middle of the night.

Yue An thought of Ji Xiuyun's close combat skills and the fact that he hadn't been able to transform into his human form for more than three days in the past hundred years. Yue An's swinging tail paused slightly.

… Forget about such a dangerous idea.

He did not even know how to walk in a human form, let alone fighting skills.

Yue An quickly got rid of the thought of causing trouble and started wagging its tail leisurely again. After eating the spirit stone in a few bites, it took the four test tubes of catmint and climbed up the cat tree downstairs. It turned on the official channel of the legal system and watched the jury seats being filled. At the same time, it also turned on its own live broadcast room.

The audience on the Star Web opened the two channels and nervously watched the live broadcast of the Supreme Court of the Empire and the live broadcast of Yue An.

In their eyes, Yue An must be very important to this case.

Otherwise, the Marshal would not have rushed into the Research Department on the first day and contacted the Supreme Court of the Empire the next day to start a lawsuit against the Research Department.

According to the media reports and the holographic projections that were dug up by the netizens of the Star Web, when the marshal went in, his arms were empty. When he came out, he had a Yue An in his arms.

Everyone had some speculations as to what had happened in the middle of this.

Yue An only did one live broadcast after that. After the Supreme Court of the Empire announced that they had accepted the case, he did not appear for three consecutive days.

Everyone thought that Yue An must have experienced something bad, even though he had behaved normally in the previous live broadcast and even played mahjong.

Some people said that Yue An looked for people to play games to divert attention.

Some people said that Yue An acted like that because he was instructed to appease the public.

Many people had many different ideas, and they all thought that it made sense.

During the three days that Yue An was addicted to learning, the audience on the Star Web was anxious and restless. Now that the live broadcast of Yue An and the Supreme Court of the Empire was on, they all swarmed in.

As soon as the audience entered the live broadcast, they saw the kitten that they had been worried about for three days squatting on the cat tree and biting open the lid of a test tube. Then, it leaned over and took a deep breath. Under the gaze of tens of billions of viewers, the kitten punched and kicked the air for a while and softly spread out into a cat biscuit.

The audience was in an uproar!

Something really happened!!!

He had to rely on hallucinogens to divert attention!!

What on earth happened to Yue An?!!!

The audience was heartbroken.
