The little emperor was shocked.

Ji Xiuyun's request scared him so much that he burped.

An energy mineral vein was not a cheap price to pay.

Besides, a stable energy mineral vein planet could do a lot of things. It should be known that 70% of the energy crystals produced by the planet in Ji Xiuyun's hands were directly sold to the Empire at a small profit. The remaining 30% was within the scope of his control.

This 30% was basically used by him to fill the army's warehouse. Only a small fraction was put into his own personal treasury.

"You, what do you want an energy mineral vein planet for?" the little emperor asked.

"The military budget is controlled by you … I mean, by Prince Kells. Other than a part of our own industry, the budget is very tight."

Ji Xiuyun had a deadpan expression, and his words were reasonable.

"A single energy vein planet is not enough to satisfy the needs of seven legions."

What a load of nonsense!

In fact, the military already had a self-sufficient industrial chain. Every year, the military budget allocated by the Empire was considered extra income. Half of it was exchanged for some logistical supplies in case of emergency.

Marshal Kevin looked at Ji Xiuyun, who was lying for cat food. After a while, he looked away.

Dirty!

Such a dirty heart!

But the little emperor, who did not know much about this, believed Ji Xiuyun's evil. He gritted his teeth and agreed to the other party's request.

When Marshal Kevin said that he would temporarily stay in the military to ensure his safety, he sobbed and said, "No, I want to go back to the palace."

Marshal Kevin just looked at him and did not say anything.

Unexpectedly, the little emperor did not cower. He raised his chin and tried his best to put on an arrogant and noble posture. Even though he was still sobbing, he still gritted his teeth and said, "That is my palace!"

The expression on Marshal Kevin's face finally changed.

He raised his hand, as if he wanted to pat the little Emperor's head, but halfway through, he changed his direction and gave the young Emperor a standard military salute.

Ji Xiuyun cut off the communication and turned to look at the First Army Commander, who was consciously cleaning up the mess in front of the media. He took his cat and went home.

Subordinates were supposed to solve problems for their superiors at times like this.

The First Army Commander was already used to it after so many years.

Otherwise, why would he be so skilled at making up nonsense in front of the media?

Marshal Ji was covered in dust and was despised by Yue An. As soon as he got home, he took his cat directly into the bathroom.

Yue An's cat was small. Although it did not seem to be covered in dust, it did not change from a little white cat to a little gray cat.

However, the man and the cat both felt that they had just rolled out of the dust, so a bath was very necessary.

Marshal Ji took off his military jacket and put a layer of hot water in the sink for Yue An. It was hot enough for Yue An to lie down and soak in.

Yue An squatted on the sink and watched the water surface slowly spread upwards. Then, he walked to the edge of the sink, stuck out his butt, and stretched out his claws. He leaned over and pulled open a drawer under the sink, revealing several rows of neatly placed … Pipi toys.

Ji Xiuyun: "…"

Yue An jumped to the top of the drawer, took out a toy, and put it into the sink.

Then it obediently closed the drawer.

Ji Xiuyun was silent for a long time. Then he turned off the water and turned on the thermostat mode. He looked at the toy floating freely on the water and asked, "… When did you buy it?"

Yue An jumped into the pool, its little paws pushing the iron-gray Pi Pi toy that was floating leisurely along with the waves. Its whole body was soaked in the warm water. It raised its head, shook its ears, and meowed softly at Ji Xiuyun.

Ji Xiuyun asked casually, so Yue An answered casually.

Marshal Ji still did not understand the answer.

But he had a serious look on his face, as if he understood. He nodded gently, then turned on the news channel and watched it. He turned around and went into the shower room to draw the curtain.

Yue An looked up at the projection in the bathroom. It was the First Army Commander's response to the media.

The background of his interview was a long list of criminal suspects who were sent out and escorted to the car. Their crimes were very clear: illegal trading and disrupting public order.

The headline of the news was: The Empire's military has uncovered a large-scale illegal trading case.

These people who were arrested were really unlucky.

As Yue An thought about it, he slapped the toy with both of his paws.

Ji Xiuyun was showering while listening to the First Army Commander's reasonable and serious nonsense to the media. He had to remember what the First Army Commander said so that he would not be exposed if someone suddenly asked about this matter in the future.

Just as he was listening and memorizing, a sound came from outside the shower.

Yue An retracted its paws. The toy that had been slapped by it swelled back and made a sound.

The kitten stretched out its paws and slapped the toy again.

This time, the strength of the slap was different from the previous one. The sound made by the toy was "chirping".

Yue An was addicted to the game.

Occasionally, it was accompanied by the Yue An's "meow", "meow woo", "meow ow ow", and "aowo".

In the end, even the sound of being pressed into the water could be heard.

Ji Xiuyun: "…"

There was no way to read this news anymore.

The Marshal Ji had never taken such a lively bath before.

When he came out of the shower, he discovered that the lively Pi Pi toy had been brutally murdered by the Yue An's sharp teeth. Its head had been bitten off and thrown to the side. Its floating body had also been cruelly dismembered.

"Meow!" Yue An threw the toy aside and happily patted Ji Xiuyun's water.

Obviously, he was having a good time.

Of course, he was happy because he was about to have a planet with a spirit stone mine!

Although Ji Xiuyun made up a very reasonable and sophisticated reason, Yue An knew that the planet with a spirit stone mine was for him.

Yue An happily patted the water and stretched out its wet paws, waiting for Ji Xiuyun to carefully clean it.

The Marshal Ji was wearing home clothes. Seeing Yue An's outstretched paws, he rolled up his sleeves and began to clean the gaps between his paws.

After all, this was his cat who had saved his life.

The Marshal Ji thought as he cleaned the paws.

And Yue An was so cute — no matter if it was in the form of a human or a cat, a good-looking creature would naturally receive some special care.

This special care was reflected in many aspects.

For example, the Marshal Ji personally brought out food, or the Marshal Ji personally slept with him, or the Marshal Ji personally washed his paws, or the Marshal Ji personally wiped his fur, or …

Marshal Ji personally went up to the stage as a sparring partner.

Yue An was stunned when he was thrown over Ji Xiuyun's shoulder and fell to the ground.

Regarding the matter of Ji Xiuyun turning him into a human after taking a shower and drying his fur, Yue An had thought of many possible future developments. For example, Ji Xiuyun was going to teach him some human etiquette and social problems, or teach him how to speak.

But he never expected that Ji Xiuyun would directly take him to an empty room and throw him over his shoulder.

Yue An: "…"

You've changed.

You actually dared to throw me.

However, the Marshal Ji didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Compared to slowly teaching Yue An about how to move around in human form, the speed and effectiveness of pain education was much more significant.

Yue An wasn't an ordinary human who didn't know anything. In fact, he knew everything.

To put it simply, he knew the principles, but he didn't know how to do it.

Therefore, the best way for Yue An to quickly familiarize himself with the various movements and strength of a human was to directly throw him.

Pain was an emotion that could accelerate the growth of a human being. Coupled with Yue An's unyielding character, he could improve rapidly.

There was a saying that went, "How can you learn to run if you don't know how to walk?"

But this wasn't the case for Yue An. If this applied to Yue An, it should be that practice was the only way to test the truth.

After being forced to practice by Ji Xiuyun, Yue An was dumbfounded for a few minutes. Then he turned over and got up, viciously pouncing on Ji Xiuyun.

Marshal Kevin drove his bright red car back to Ji Xiuyun to deliver cat food after arguing with the government in the palace.

He had just pressed the doorbell when he heard an angry shout from inside the house, "Ji Xiulin!

You bastard! "

Then his student calmly corrected him, "It's Ji Xiuyun, not Lin."

The door was opened, and Marshal Kevin saw that Ji Xiuyun, who had come to open the door, was sweating on his forehead. With his physical fitness as a student, he definitely wouldn't sweat if he didn't do intense exercise. Now that he was sweating at home, it was simply unbelievable.

Then he found that Ji Xiuyun's condition was very good. The white-haired young man in the house looked like he had just been fished out of the water. He was lying on the sofa like a salted fish.

The beautiful young man's image was destroyed.

Marshal Kevin didn't want to go in because they were standing at the door. Ji Xiuyun didn't want to open the door either.

"I brought the car back," Marshal Kevin said. Then he raised his chin at Yue An. "What happened?"

"Practice training," Ji Xiuyun answered. He then added, "The progress is gratifying."

His cat had quickly evolved from being unable to speak properly to being able to curse people.

He had also grown from tripping when he walked too fast to the point where he could fight a small battle.

The progress was indeed quite gratifying. Pain education once again perfectly demonstrated its speed and efficiency.

Of course, it would be even better if Yue An didn't always call his name wrongly.

Marshal Kevin knew very well what Ji Xiuyun meant by practice training. Ji Xiuyun's legion commanders had all been trained through this so-called practice training.

Marshal Kevin firmly believed that this was Ji Xiuyun's personal bad taste, but he couldn't deny that the results were good.

Marshal Kevin expressed his pity for Yue An with his eyes. "The DNA test is out. It's human DNA."

Ji Xiuyun paused. He couldn't help but look back at Yue An, who was lying on the sofa.

"Bring Yue An to my house tonight," Marshal Kevin said in a low voice.

Ji Xiuyun nodded and followed Marshal Kevin to the courtyard. After watching them leave, he turned around and took out the shopping bags from the car.

Fortunately, Yue An had already taken out the energy crystals before the black market exploded. Otherwise, they would have all been confiscated.

As Ji Xiuyun thought about it, he pushed the box back into the house. When he closed the door, he suddenly came back to his senses and finally realized what he had missed when his eyelids were blindly jumping.

— — There weren't any disguise devices in the red car!

Ji Xiuyun strode to Yue An and turned Yue An, who was lying on the sofa, over. He asked him, "Yue An, what kind of disguise did you use to go to the black market?"

Yue An snorted and opened his eyes. His snow-white hair and blue eyes were quickly dyed black.

Ji Xiuyun: "…"

The black market exploded well!

Wonderful!

What a great explosion!

Even though the black market exploded, Marshal Ji was still worried that there might be some lucky fish that escaped the net.

When they arrived at Marshal Kevin's house with Yue An, who was so tired that he fainted, Ji Xiuyun told him about it.

Marshal Kevin was also stunned. The master and disciple looked at each other and worried.

Mrs. Ellie was kneading Yue An's little paw. At this moment, the kitten was sleeping soundly with its paws facing the sky. It didn't show any signs of waking up because of the changes and movements in the surroundings. Its little belly was moving up and down, and it was even snoring.

Lady Ellie turned her head in confusion when she heard her husband and his disciple's worries.

"Why … Why are you guys making things so complicated?"

The two men, who were either in politics or the military, turned their heads in unison.

"Let's not talk about how hair and eye color can greatly affect a person's memory of another person's appearance. Have you guys forgotten that there are many disguises on the market that use me as a blueprint?"

A famous intergalactic movie star like Lady Ellie couldn't go out with her original appearance. Disguises, status, and money were all available.

Naturally, there were also disguise manufacturers who used her appearance as a blueprint and made some slight adjustments to create disguises. After all, even if it was a disguise, people still had preferences.

Some people liked to make themselves ordinary and inconspicuous, such as Ji Xiuyun and Kevin.

However, there were some people who wished to disguise themselves as a beautiful woman.

"Let Yue An use his original human appearance and disguise himself as someone I met by accident when I was filming on another planet. Wouldn't it be fine if we took a few photos while we were at it?

When the time comes, there will definitely be a wave of popularity. That's good too. We can use the popularity to say that this is a child that we want to adopt. "

Lady Ellie spoke very naturally and matter-of-factly.

"Based on the photos of Yue An that you sent me, disguise devices based on his image will be flying all over the place in a few days. Even if there are fishes that slip through the net, they will naturally think that it's a disguise device."

Ji Xiuyun, who didn't expect this at all, was speechless.

Kevin, who also didn't expect this at all, was speechless.

Ellie, who was from the entertainment department, didn't understand why the military department and the political department would be troubled by this problem. She stroked her cat and looked at them in confusion.

Marshal Kevin and Ji Xiuyun both looked away.

"Then it's decided."

Marshal Kevin smiled and used his Level 99 skills. "When can we eat?"

"Okay …"

Ji Xiuyun thought for a long time while his teacher and teacher's wife looked at him, but he couldn't think of a suitable topic to talk about.

He thought hard for a full ten seconds.

In the end, he put on a straight face and calmly said, "Yue An likes spicy food."

Yue An, who was lying on Lady Ellie's lap, sneezed in his sleep.
