Oh, that’s right, the cub had stayed in the egg for so long, and as soon as he came out, he encountered star pirates and the notoriously brutal Marshal Xie Yunsi. He must have been terrified.
But there’s also nothing that can be done. The cub’s birth would definitely attract the attention of other forces. The best way was to have the Marshal come and personally suppress them. Moreover, once the cub’s birth was announced to the public, it would be explosive news. They had to be fully prepared now to protect the cub to the greatest extent.
Nalande looked at the little dumpling, his heart aching instantly.
Jing Ruan slept in a daze. In his dream, someone gently tucked him in, and for fear that he couldn’t sleep soundly, they even played lullabies suitable for cubs at regular intervals.
When he woke up, it was already daylight outside. After a small stretch, someone outside immediately noticed his movement, opened the door, and poked their head in, saying joyfully: “Is the little one awake?”
Jing Ruan rubbed his eyes and responded sleepily, “Jiu mi~” Awake.
In a short while, someone came in and carefully picked him up, “Let’s go, we’ll wash our faces first and then eat.”
He hooked his two front paws over the person’s shoulder, with almost the entire cat lying on the person’s body.
Su Jing was so happy she almost fainted.
She got to hold the cub QAQ, a joyous occasion for all!!!
The surrounding researchers were almost dying of jealousy, staring at Jing Ruan with longing eyes.
Jing Ruan didn’t know what they were thinking. When he suddenly saw everyone’s gaze focused on him, he looked back at them, somewhat puzzled.
The crowd, whose gazes were suddenly met: “!!!”
Worth it, Worth it!!!
Jing Ruan was taken by Su Jing to a room where Nalande and several other high-level researchers were present, seemingly waiting specifically for the cub’s arrival.
Even Xie Yunsi was sitting on the sofa, still in his military uniform. Pinned on his left chest was the golden medal of meritorious service that represented the leader of the army. He was idly playing with the ring on his hand that symbolized power.
Hearing movement at the door, he lifted his eyes, his gaze landing with extreme accuracy on the little furball.
The moment Jing Ruan saw Xie Yunsi, the fur on his entire body almost stood on end.
QAQ No one told him Xie Yunsi would be here too ah!
“Marshal.” Su Jing said respectfully.
Xie Yunsi nodded lightly, but his gaze remained on Jing Ruan. When the other party approached, he suddenly said, “Let me hold him.”
“What?”
“The cub.”
Su Jing dared not refuse and had to reluctantly hand the cub over.
When he came into contact with that warm body temperature, Jing Ruan’s entire body was stiff. He looked at Xie Yunsi with a sense of hopelessness, his heart filled with despair. Was he going to die just one day after transmigrating?
But reality was unexpectedly different. The bloody scene he imagined did not appear. The person in question, Xie Yunsi, just raised his hand and rubbed Jing Ruan’s small, round head. The force in his hand was extremely gentle, not at all like yesterday.
Being a cat for the first time, Jing Ruan had to admit that the other’s force was very appropriate, and he was even petting his fur quite comfortably(?)
The moment this thought appeared, Jing Ruan himself was startled. He secretly glanced at Xie Yunsi. The man’s hostile aura seemed to have subsided a bit compared to their last meeting.
Even the coldness between his brows had faded considerably, and he was in a relatively lazy and peaceful state.
Xie Yunsi didn’t know why, but he would become very relaxed when the little dumpling was by his side. He couldn’t even be like this when facing his own subordinates. But it was very strange, as long as he saw the little bun, he would let down all his defenses.
That was a state he hadn’t been in for nearly thirty years.
Xie Yunsi gently stroked Jing Ruan’s fur and asked: “Are you adapting well?”
Jing Ruan had no idea what he was asking and, on the spot, pricked up his fluffy cat ears, “Jiu mi?”
The other person didn’t speak again but continued to stroke the soft fur, his gaze always on him, not even glancing at the people around.
Jing Ruan tried hard to focus his attention elsewhere.
The room was very, very large, so luxurious and exquisite that it was no different from a small palace. As soon as Jing Ruan entered, he felt a very rich spiritual power. He looked up and was surprised to find that the ceiling was inlaid with many spiritual power fragments.
Usually, one fragment would cost tens of thousands of star coins, but now the entire ceiling was covered with them. He couldn’t even count how many there were.
There were also many small decorations and precious cub toys in the room. The inexperienced Jing Ruan didn’t know how much they cost. After all, if the ceiling alone was so extravagant, other things went without saying.
Jing Ruan suffered the impact of money for the first time.
During his first transmigration, although he was the emperor of the Dragon Clan, the dragons had particularly strong spiritual power and didn’t need these auxiliary items at all. Moreover, what they liked most were powerful weapons, dedicating their lives to improving their abilities.
However, what came next expanded his imagination even further… The small towel for washing his face was handmade by the number one embroiderer in the interstellar, the clothes he wore were rushed out overnight by the chief designer, filling three large closets, from head to toe, from childhood to adulthood, everything imaginable was there.
The food was even more so specially made with high nutritional value, tailor-made, and unique. The toys were so numerous that they piled sky-high, nearly all the cub toys in the entire interstellar had been bought out…
Outrageous…
Just when he thought this was the limit, Nalande said: “The little one stayed in the egg for six years. During these six years, the people at the base and other interstellar forces have carefully prepared gifts. I wonder if you’ll like them.”
Th-there are still more gifts?
Jing Ruan thought to himself.
Xie Yunsi got up and followed Nalande, carrying him to another room.
As soon as the door opened, rows upon rows of cabinets were filled with gift boxes, stacked in an orderly manner. A visual estimate suggested there were at least thousands, if not tens of thousands, of rows.
Jing Ruan stared blankly at the room, almost blinded by the countless gifts that filled the entire space. This wasn’t just six years—he would believe it if they said sixty years!
Nalande explained: “The research base has tens of thousands of people, plus some interstellar forces also send gifts, especially the palace and the military, which have even more people, so it resulted in the current situation.”
Jing Ruan, feeling sheepish, quickly and anxiously said: “Jiu mi jiu mi~” Isn’t this a bit too much?
Nalande nodded thoughtfully. Just as Jing Ruan thought they would return them, the other person suddenly said, “The cub doesn’t like these gifts? It’s okay, I’ll have them send another batch. In any case, the birthday gifts he should have can absolutely not be missing!”
Jing Ruan: “…?”
That’s not what I meant ah, hey!
The author has something to say:
Nalande: Opening ten, a hundred blind boxes a day, so satisfying!
