The surroundings were warm and cozy, and the places his body touched were extremely soft, as if stepping on clouds in the sky.
The pain Jing Ruan originally felt vanished completely within a second, followed by wave after wave of warm energy currents, nourishing his body.
Nevertheless, the ethereal voice from the outside world became clearer and clearer.
“A warning to the star pirates on Planet Abel, if you all do not return the cub egg, do not blame the Empire for being impolite.” The Empire’s Lieutenant General said.
In the vast star domain, two fleets of warships confronted each other. The leading general in a gold and black military uniform had a cold expression, with a thousand warships obediently awaiting his command behind him. With just one order from him, the star pirates opposite would be bombed into dregs.
The Imperial Army—the most powerful force in the entire interstellar, almost always drawing blood whenever deployed, achieving perfect victory in every battle, was the existence that all interstellar powers dared not provoke the most.
The star pirates were practically trembling at this scene. They usually robbed just like this, but this time, they didn’t know what they had stolen to make the Empire so angry.
They hurriedly presented the things they had robbed over the years, one by one, in an extremely humble posture.
The cub egg faintly emitted a pure and flawless white light, casting a beautiful halo. Even among a pile of expensive jewels, it did not seem inferior in the slightest. On the contrary, it became even more dazzling and brilliant, emitting tiny, beautiful specks of starlight.
And Jing Ruan was inside that egg. He opened his eyes and saw a pure white, arched ceiling.
The surrounding walls were also white, but when he stared at one spot, the wall became transparent, presenting the entire scene of the outside world before him—
Densely packed mechanical metal warships, purple-red light shining everywhere, a galaxy world full of railway space station bases…
As for Jing Ruan, he was being protected by a huge and majestic warship. Through the metal mecha, it was not difficult to see the man inside wearing a black and gold military uniform.
The man’s face was indifferent, and the coldness and aura emanating from him inspired awe and fear. He looked down condescendingly at the trembling star pirates, as if they were just a group of ants.
Jing Ruan stared blankly at this scene.
OMG！
Lowering his head again, his body had turned into a ball of white, soft, fluffy, unidentified species. His four limbs were short, and his paw pads looked soft and weak, completely non-aggressive.
Before he had time to react, the system started wailing.
【Help, Host! The teleportation went wrong! We didn’t go home. Rather, we ended up back in this book again!】
Jing Ruan patted the system’s head, comforting it, “It’s okay.”
“But, where is this?”
Perhaps because it was his second transmigration, he wasn’t overly panicked at this moment. Instead, he calmed down to observe his surroundings, his gaze locking onto the man operating the warship.
Through the warship, he saw that this person was dressed extraordinarily, his movements clean and sharp, his temperament ruthless, which coincided with a certain figure in his memory.
Just then, Jing Ruan suddenly heard a crisp ‘crack’ sound.
A crack appeared on the eggshell in front of him…
Even though the entire star domain was so vast, this sound reached everyone’s ears.
Suddenly, cold sweat almost broke out on the backs of the star pirates, while the Imperial Army, without orders, dared not act rashly. They had no choice but to turn their five senses to the maximum, trying to see the situation with the cub egg.
Almost in an instant, the cub egg that was originally outside was quickly received into the warship’s control room. Jing Ruan immediately felt a strange aura and an unfamiliar temperature.
He was now in that person’s palm!
Jing Ruan’s heart leaped into his throat.
He still hadn’t figured out if the other party was friend or foe!
Xie Yunsi rubbed the eggshell with his index finger, seemingly sizing something up. Although absolutely nothing could be seen from that crack, it made Jing Ruan feel a trace of panic.
His gaze was somewhat apathetic, and he let out a lazy, mocking sneer, “I thought it was a dead egg.”
Jing Ruan: “…”
He didn’t quite dare to speak.
He even wanted to curl up in the cub egg and never come out for a lifetime.
Unfortunately, the eggshell was really too fragile, and the force in the other’s hand was definitely not light. The entire egg, along with that crack, began to split at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In a short while, the eggshell completely broke open, and a fluffy dumpling was suddenly exposed to the air.
Jing Ruan: Ahhh, help!
Jing Ruan was forced to stare wide-eyed at the person in front of him. The atmosphere at that moment was exceptionally awkward, and even the air seemed to have frozen.
Xie Yunsi looked at the little fluffball, a trace of surprise flashing through his eyes. When he came back to his senses, the dumpling was struggling, trying to escape his palm.
As a soldier’s subconscious action, he immediately gripped the little fluffball’s body. The little dumpling suddenly dared not move, its eyes welling up with a layer of mist, looking pitiful.
“Jiu mi~”
An unusual feeling arose in Xie Yunsi’s heart for some reason. The soft touch in his hand was something he had never felt before. For decades, he had done nothing but kill enemies. The people he would come into contact with were never to be underestimated. He had never encountered a situation like this.
The other party was unimaginably fragile. He had even lightened his strength to the minimum, but the little round bundle still looked at him with teary eyes.
This is the cub cultivated by the Emperor of the Empire? The cub who will replace his Marshal position in the future?
For the first time, Xie Yunsi felt his mood was complicated.
A truly ferocious beast would show strong aggression even in its cub stage, but this one in his hand… was clearly not the ferocious beast type.
Jing Ruan secretly sized up Xie Yunsi.
He silently asked the system in his heart: “What role did I transmigrate into this time?”
Speaking of transmigrating into a book, the first time he had become the emperor of the Empire’s enemy, the ‘Dragon Clan’. For six years, he had been playing the role until the moment of death, successfully completing the villain’s mission.
However, he didn’t expect an accident on the way back to his original world, leading to a second transmigration.
【The Empire’s humanoid weapon, a righteous cannon fodder who specializes in advancing the protagonist gong and shou’s career line but ends up dying tragically in a foreign land…】
Humanoid weapon.
Jing Ruan had some impression. In the novel, the original owner was born for the Empire to resist the Dragon Clan. From a young age, he was trained to be the most loyal weapon to the Empire, born to go through fire and water for the Empire.
But cannon fodder was destined to be cannon fodder. No one cared about him or liked him, only treating him as a tool that could bring benefits. After conquering the entire interstellar, he died tragically in the final battle with the Dragon Clan, making wedding clothes[mfn]做嫁衣 (zuò jià yī) – an idiom that means, to pave the way for someone else’s success, essentially being used by others[/mfn] for the main couple.
