Marshal Kevin had a bad habit that never changed. Compared to chairs and sofas, he preferred to sit on the floor.

In Ji Xiuyun's house, apart from the staircase, even the empty guest rooms were covered with a thick, soft carpet, including the bathroom.

It was made of special materials that would not come into contact with water or accumulate dust. It had a lifespan of more than 70 years.

Ji Xiuyun's parents had built this carpet to prevent small accidents such as falling and injuring himself.

In the end, not only did they prevent accidental falls and injuries, but they also attracted Marshal Kevin's attention.

Marshal Kevin was sitting cross-legged on the soft carpet with Yue An. He was holding a children's education book in his hand and was demonstrating how to pronounce words to Yue An.

The patient attitude, the gentle and gentle tone, and the standard of the demonstration made people wonder if this person was Marshal Kevin and had been replaced.

In fact, Marshal Kevin was also a little troubled. The boy in front of him was different from ordinary children.

Children would instinctively imitate the sounds around them and naturally acquire the ability to speak.

However, Yue An did not have such imitating instincts. He was not a human and did not know how to control the human vocal cords and tongue to produce sounds through these unfamiliar organs.

Marshal Kevin taught him how to pronounce the word "father" for a full 40 minutes.

It was not easy for Yue An to master the technique of producing vocal cords. After that, he spent another half an hour teaching him how to control the movements of his tongue and lips so that he could speak standard human language.

More than an hour ago, Marshal Kevin had been teaching Yue An how to walk and how to control the movements of his muscles to ensure that he could move and walk normally.

Kron's body was like a blank piece of paper in this regard. Other than his good physical fitness, he could not even compare to a newborn human child in other aspects.

Children at least knew how to cry, make sounds, and have their own emotions when they were born. Then, they would gradually grow into perfect, independent individuals.

However, Kron's body didn't possess any of those traits, even though it was the instinct of any living being. Perhaps he once possessed it, but after experiencing the long darkness, he gradually forgot about it.

Of course, the reason why he was so insistent that this was a clone and not his student's lover was because this beautiful youngster exuded a 'I'm not a normal human' sense of detachment and sluggishness. On the other hand, it was because he understood that Ji Xiuyun wasn't the type to hide a mistress in a golden house.

In this world, if one were to ask who knew Ji Xiuyun the best, Marshal Kevin would definitely claim to be number two.

Others might not know about Ji Xiuyun's aversion to finding a bed partner, but as a teacher, Marshal Kevin was well aware of it.

He was also very clear about the reason for the rejection: Ji Xiuyun's genes were special. Who knew what kind of chain reaction would occur if he really found a bed partner?

After all, with Ji Xiuyun's status and special genes, this kind of thing was always a concern.

Marshal Kevin could completely understand his student, and he also completely understood his student, so how could this young man be Ji Xiuyun's little lover at home?

There wasn't such a person the last time he was here. After Ji Xiuyun came back from the research department, there was suddenly an additional person. There was an 80% to 90% chance that this person was one of the Clones that were saved.

In order to ensure the safety of these clones after they were rescued, their information was kept confidential. Even at Marshal Kevin's level, they had to apply to the Research Department for a valid reason to obtain the information.

Therefore, Marshal Kevin had a very good reason to think that Yue An was a rescued clone. As for why Ji Xiuyun would bring a clone back, he didn't know. However, he knew his student well. If he wasn't confident, Ji Xiuyun would never let anyone get close to him, let alone this youngster who walked out of his room.

Marshal Kevin pondered whether he should do a genetic test as he taught. If there were no problems, he would consider adopting the youngster.

He even sent a message to his wife to ask for her opinion.

Marshal Kevin didn't mind that Yue An might not be human.

After losing their home planet, humans fought hard for thousands of years and finally won a place to live in the universe and established a political regime.

After that, the entire galaxy became much more peaceful. During these years of peace, it wasn't uncommon for humans to adopt the offspring of other intelligent life forms.

There were also many cases where other intelligent life forms were willing to adopt a human offspring.

Ji Xiuyun would probably stay on the Imperial Planet for the next few months.

The design sketches for the redevelopment of the Silver Blade were already out. It would be personally designed and upgraded by the Empire's top mecha maker, the first generation Silver Blade's designer.

After the sketches were out, Ji Xiuyun would look at them and make sure that there were no special requests for changes. Then, they could basically start the detailed design and production of the components.

Ji Xiuyun was willing to wander outside because he could treat his Marshal Class battleship as his home without any psychological barriers.

He could do it, but others might not.

In order to maintain his deterrence of the surrounding galaxies and space criminals, Ji Xiuyun sailed in the quiet and boundless universe for many years.

Other than resupplying or suppressing rebellions, he and his army would temporarily land on a planet. Other than that, he and his army would hide their tracks and search for traces of Interstellar Pirates in various galaxies, chasing after these criminals.

This kind of life would last for several years. Even most soldiers with strong mental fortitude wouldn't be able to do it.

Therefore, the troops on Ji Xiuyun's spaceship would rotate every six months.

If there were no accidents, every six months, the soldiers who had experienced long periods of interstellar travel would rotate their positions with the garrison troops under Ji Xiuyun's command.

Even the legion commanders under him would rotate between sailing and guarding every half a year.

Ji Xiuyun was the only one who could endure squatting on a spaceship for several years without landing.

After all, Kron had just been rescued from the darkness. Due to various psychological and physiological considerations, he was not suitable for long periods of interstellar travel. Therefore, Marshal Kevin felt that it was highly feasible for him to adopt this child and raise him well at this time.

Marshal Kevin raised his head and looked at Ji Xiuyun, who was standing next to him and looking down at him, trying to chase him out with his eyes. He reached out and pulled his student to sit down.

After Yue An learned how to speak, he actually didn't need Marshal Kevin anymore.

He could just follow the words in the children's books and slowly learn them by himself. However, it would be faster if someone corrected and taught him.

What a joke. Did he really think that he didn't know that Marshal Kevin was taking advantage of him?

Yue An was the smartest kitten in the world!

If it weren't for the fact that Yue An taught him how to walk, people like Marshal Kevin who tricked kittens into calling him 'daddy' would have been beaten to death a long time ago.

Yue An turned his head and looked at Ji Xiuyun, who was sitting down.

Yue An was holding the pastries that Yue An didn't eat because of the beautiful accident yesterday. He had specially bought them on the way back.

Yue An tilted his head slightly and reached out his hand to Ji Xiuyun.

Marshal Ji finally understood how it felt when others couldn't read his expression. This was because he couldn't tell what Yue An was thinking.

However, Yue An's intention to ask him for something was perfectly conveyed to him.

Marshal Ji handed the box of pastries to Yue An. When he saw that Yue An was about to reach for the box of pastries, he immediately reached out to stop him and stuffed the cutlery into his hand.

Yue An looked down at the fork in his hand and was stunned for two seconds. Then, he clenched his fist and stabbed the fork into the pastries.

Marshal Ji stopped him again and taught him how to hold the fork. Then, he pushed the box in front of Yue An so that Yue An wouldn't drop the pastries on the carpet again because he wasn't familiar with the process.

Yue An was speechless.

Why are you humans so slow when it comes to eating? Can't you just eat it directly?

It turns out that humans are very particular when it comes to eating.

After Marshal Ji corrected Yue An in a serious manner, he turned to look at Marshal Kevin.

Although he was expressionless, he gave off an aura that said, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Marshal Kevin assumed that Ji Xiuyun was embarrassed because he found out that he was hiding someone in his house.

He looked very knowledgeable and asked his student, "Have you given him a name?"

Yue An paused in his action of stuffing the pastries into his mouth.

Ji Xiuyun's face was still tense and he didn't seem to be affected at all.

Yue An took a bite of the pastries and turned to look at Ji Xiuyun.

Didn't you ask him to teach me how to be a person?

Marshal Ji looked up at him but didn't receive any information from Yue An.

In fact, Ji Xiuyun was very hesitant as to whether or not he should tell his teacher that this young man was actually Yue An. After all, he was able to accept this matter so quickly because he was very clear about Yue An's uniqueness.

From the beginning, he knew that Yue An wasn't an ordinary cat. Therefore, he was already mentally prepared for any trouble that Yue An might cause.

Although the matter of transforming into a human had completely exceeded the scope of his mental preparation, after experiencing the great ups and downs, Ji Xiuyun had a mysterious calmness towards the strange things that happened to Yue An.

Ji Xiuyun didn't say anything.

Marshal Kevin pretended that he didn't give Yue An a name.

"That won't do, Xiuyun."

Marshal Kevin spoke earnestly in front of Yue An, who was quietly eating pastries. His gentleness made Ji Xiuyun's hair stand on end. "Although Yue An is a clone, you should still give him a name."

Yue An choked on the pastries when he heard this. He turned his head and covered his mouth with his hand. His face was red, but his other hand was still tightly holding the fork. He placed the pastries back on the plate very gently.

The pastries tasted really good.

Ji Xiuyun wanted to pat Yue An's back, but before he could move, his teacher beat him to it.

Ji Xiuyun was speechless.

What a fast reaction! What a considerate person!

No, no, no wonder Marshal Kevin married the most beautiful person in the universe!

Ji Xiuyun's face was wooden as he got up to pour a cup of water.

As soon as the water was brought over, Marshal Kevin took it and carefully fed Yue An two mouthfuls. Then, he gently patted the young man's back as if he was coaxing a baby.

Ji Xiuyun was speechless.

Aren't you getting into character a little too quickly?

You want to treat Yue An as a cub? Have you asked for my permission?

Marshal Kevin immediately came to ask about it.

"Xiuyun, it's like this."

Marshal Kevin looked at the young man, who had calmed his breathing and was now blushing. He retracted his hand and looked away. "You will only stay on the Imperial Planet until the Silver Blade is rebuilt. It's not convenient to take him away. If you don't mind, I would like to adopt this child."

Ji Xiuyun was speechless.

Ji Xiuyun was speechless.

No, he wants to go with me.

You can give up on that idea.

Ji Xiuyun didn't say anything. He wanted to hear what Marshal Cain was thinking.

He turned his head and looked at Yue An. The young man's pale, almost transparent face was flushed because of his coughing. The redness didn't destroy his beauty. Instead, it made him look even more attractive.

He was like a red plum blossom in the snow, clear and crisp, and seemed to emit a piercingly cold and clear fragrance.

The blue cat's upturned eyes were a little misty. At this moment, he was sniffling. He hadn't caught his breath yet and continued to stare at the pastries on the plate.

"My wife and I don't plan to have children. The best age for childbearing is almost over," Marshal Kevin said.

Ji Xiuyun knew about this.

In fact, the couple liked children very much. However, because they were very busy with work, they didn't plan to have children.

Lady Ellie's career was booming all year round.

Although Marshal Kevin was in charge of the Imperial Planet, he didn't have it easy either. Recently, Ji Xiuyun came back and caused a lot of trouble, attracting everyone's attention. That was why he had so much free time.

If they didn't have enough time to give the child enough warmth and affection, the couple wouldn't have children.

However, it was different for this kind of grown-up body. Marshal Kevin spent a day with Yue An. He could feel that Yue An actually had self-awareness. It was just that he suppressed it all year round and didn't know how to express it.

Once this kind of young man had the basic ability to move, he could bring him along and teach him step by step.

He would take him as a student. No matter what, it would be much easier to raise him than a baby. He would also have enough time to accompany him.

"I realized that this child's physical fitness is very good. His identity is also blank."

As long as he didn't go astray, he should be grateful to the person who saved him.

Marshal Kevin calculated in his heart. "If you train him well, he might become the second you. The only problem is whether his mother is still alive."

Ji Xiuyun didn't expect Marshal Kevin to have such a plan.

He felt that his teacher must have dealt with those politicians on the Imperial Planet for too long. He must have been infected by their crazy imagination.

This was like a terminal illness. It was very contagious and there was no cure.

Ji Xiuyun turned to look at Yue An and asked, "Can I say it?"

Marshal Kevin was stunned.

He looked at Ji Xiuyun and then at Yue An.

Yue An finished all the pastries on his plate. When he heard Ji Xiuyun's question, he nodded without hesitation.

Yue An wasn't the least bit interested in the discussion between these two humans.

He even wanted to turn back into a kitten and lick his fur or lie down to sleep.

Ji Xiuyun turned to look at his teacher and said calmly, "Teacher, this is Yue An."

Marshal Kevin was speechless.

Marshal Kevin was speechless.

Marshal Kevin was in disbelief.

I'm telling you, I'm educated. Don't even think about fooling me!

Yue An glanced at Marshal Kevin. Under his gaze, he turned back into that cute little furball at lightning speed. He popped his little head out of the pile of clothes, shook his ears, and meowed softly at Marshal Kevin.

Marshal Kevin felt his vision darken.

What about my cub?

What about my cub?

I taught him all day and thought about it. I even sent my wife a message!

My wife said that she would meet Ji Xiuyun after he agreed!

Who will compensate me for my cub?

He's so cute!

He's so obedient!

He's such a big cub!

He was just here a moment ago!

How did he turn into a cat?
