dialogue

"Then..." Xueluo's lips felt dry for a moment. She licked them, looked at Jialan, and asked impatiently, "Mr. Jialan, what should we do now?"

Garland looked at her.

In an instant, Xueluo seemed to understand what he meant.

Garland continued, "Even a high-level healer like me can't do anything about it... At the moment, the Alliance military hasn't found a solution." The usually carefree Garland chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Miss Xueluo, do you know how happy I was when Old Wu finally got to eat?"

He looked at her with sincerity. He was not inviting her as a member of the military, but asking her as an old friend.

Xueluo felt the pressure, but how could someone as adept as Jialan make her feel awkward? "Miss Xueluo, so many years have passed... there's no rush now. I've seen Old Wu's condition. If he can suppress it this time, he'll be fine within two or three years."

"If it's two or three years..." Then she should be able to... do it. Xueluo calculated in her mind, but she didn't dare to say it to Jialan. "Mr. Jialan, Uncle Wu has always been very good to me, very good... If it's possible, I would also like to try, but not now... Maybe I will be able to do it in the future."

Although Xueluo was also a healer, she was fundamentally different from the others. Garland had already known this, having already tasted the spiritual factor in the snacks and seen the mysterious text that indicated the additional status.

Garland felt relieved and had been waiting for Xueluo to say this.

"Miss Xueluo, I'll leave it to you," Jialan thanked her. As Wu Xu's friend and elder, Xueluo immediately avoided him and said, "Mr. Jialan, you're welcome."

"Haha, after all, he was my old comrade..." Garland said with a beaming face, seemingly recalling the glorious past: "If he could really be the same as before, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

Xueluo was also amused by his humor.

The white cat was speechless.

"Okay, Miss Xueluo, these are all I want. Please pay for me."

"no problem!"

Garland's gaze fell on the white cat. "Ms. Xueluo, although this is the second time... I still have to say, your cat looks really familiar."

"Look familiar?" Xueluo's memory seemed to have been triggered instantly. She didn't even know if Baixue was a stray cat. "Mr. Garland, do you think that place looks familiar? Where have you seen it before?"

Perhaps having seen this kind of scene so often, even though it was an old friend, the white cat wasn't as startled as before. It licked its paw calmly, its posture elegant and proud. It was tall and beautiful, unlike any other cat. Garland, who usually spent his time either in the military lab or at bars with his female companions, naturally didn't have many opportunities to see big cats.

So when Garland looked into those deep and beautiful cat eyes and saw the other party's particularly straightforward contempt, although a pair of familiar eyes emerged in his mind, he would never associate them with the pair in front of him.

"Maybe I saw it wrongly." Garland said as he watched.

The white cat stretched out its body lazily, seemingly not interested in their conversation at all.

Before leaving, Garland warmly invited Xueluo to visit the military hospital when she had time. Xueluo was quite interested in the Alliance's military and readily agreed, but there was no time limit for the future.

Xueluo looked at the white cat: "You wouldn't..."

"What's wrong?"

Xueluo was a little surprised that the white cat answered quickly this time. Has it changed?

"nothing."

Xueluo thought about it and decided not to ask. It would never be too late for it to tell her whenever it wanted to.

The white cat looked at her suspiciously.

Xueluo peeled a cat strip and stuffed it into its mouth. "This is delicious. Eat it."

While the white cat was eating, Xueluo began to think about improving her healing ability. She held her chin and thought, "If I want to upgrade to A-level, I'm afraid I have to increase my sales as well."

After all, she will only gain benefits if the people in the alliance eat these Chinese snacks.

**

A month later.

Xueluo looked at the healing ability page on the system panel, "Finally...finally reached F level!"

Thinking of the hard work of this month, she shed a tear. Of course, it is still easy to upgrade now, but it is really difficult to upgrade to level B and above!

However, she really wanted to expand the variety of snacks in her online store. Her accumulated points were almost reaching three million. Of course, she was still a long way from upgrading to Level 6. Xueluo had even asked the system what was available at Level 6. After all, the entire snack encyclopedia had been unlocked, so what else was there? If it wasn't snack-related, like the awakened cat food, she already had all the other daily necessities a supermarket would have.

However, the system told her that once she upgraded to level 6, she would be able to directly redeem the points for the recipes for making these snacks.

In addition, there are secret surprises, which she will know after she upgrades.

It really whets your appetite.

However, it is not so easy to save up 10 million. It is summer vacation now, and Peacock, Tang Yingyu and others are promoting it, so the online store is so lively.

What she is thinking about now is——

I'm afraid it will be the end of the year at the latest.

This is a relatively conservative estimate, but by then, her healing ability should have reached C level.

For a moment, Xue Luo was full of confidence.

"Hmm...where's Bai Xue?" Xue Luo came back to her senses, only to find that the cat that had been in the store before was now nowhere to be seen.

At the same time, in the repair shop next door.

Wu Xu looked at the white cat standing in the light, meeting its deep blue eyes. He said, "What exactly are your plans for coming to Luo Luo's side?"

In fact, he had already noticed the white cat's abnormality half a month ago. On one occasion, he even heard it speaking human language to Xueluo. Luoluo was young and didn't know that ordinary big cats could behave like this. It could only be a non-human race, another species in the Alliance Universe that could mimic human form.

Finally today, Wu Xu discovered that it was following him, and he took the opportunity to ask about it.

Even the look it gave it at this moment was filled with strong vigilance. As a familiar old friend, the white cat had already discovered the spiritual field unfolded by the other party. It seemed that as long as it replied that there was something wrong, it would be ready to engage in battle.

"I never meant to hurt her."

The white cat's voice was a little hoarse, and he said this to Wu Xu's eyes.

Wu Xu frowned and said coldly: "Sometimes, it's not that you won't hurt her just because you say you won't hurt her."

"It's different." The white cat said, "Even if I have a purpose for staying with her, don't you have one? Lieutenant General Wu, are you trying to make up for something? But the person you want to make up for is gone."

Being stabbed in the heart, Wu Xu's eyes became increasingly colder, "You know quite a lot."

"But you don't know, sometimes a cat that knows too much is a dead cat."

The white cat looked at him, with a hint of smile in its eyes: "Are you threatening me?"

"You know my background, but I don't know yours. Do you think I'm threatening you?" Wu Xu said.

The white cat was silent for a moment and said, "You don't need to know."

It turned around and was about to leave, as if it came here just to take a look at him.

Of course, Wu Xu felt that it was harmless, otherwise he would not have watched it stay with Xue Luo for so long.

"I don't care what your purpose is in staying with Luoluo, but I want to advise you to be careful. If you get hurt in the slightest, I will never let you leave alive!"

A storm formed by violent mental power swept towards its direction at the same time.

The white cat dodged quickly, stepping on the door wall as if it were flat ground.

The furry tail swept gently, and the originally violent storm suddenly became obedient, turning into a gentle whirlwind that swirled softly under its cat paws.

The sapphire-like eyes reflected the light in the sunlight: "If there is such a day."

Quite arrogant!

When I was young, I was much more arrogant than this.

Wu Xu watched it coldly as it walked out of the repair shop, but in an instant, the bright sunlight shone on its body, as if it was covered with a layer of gorgeous golden fur.

That voice just now... was unexpectedly familiar, as if it was an old friend of his.

Wu Xu couldn't help but look at the form of the white cat again. This time, he was facing one of the ten divine beasts of the Divine Beast Star. He had seen the original form of his old friend several times. On the battlefield, it was stained with the blood of the enemies. Its huge snow-white fur was interlaced with red and white, which was extremely gorgeous.

And the white cat in front of me——

Just looking at it this way, it seems like the same look I saw when we were side by side on the battlefield before.

It has been so many years since we last saw each other that even he felt a little dazed at this moment.

"——Nie Xun."

The white cat, which was about to walk down the stairs, was stunned after hearing the call and actually stopped where it was.

"It's you!"

The white cat slowly turned its head, with surprise in its blue eyes. It had not expected to hear its name from his mouth, and in this form. For a moment, it was silent, a bit self-deprecating.

"You...you've been gone for two years!" Wu Xu said sternly, "Nie Xun, the military and the Nie family have been searching for you all over the world. What have you been doing these past two years?"

"How come you... appear in this form?"

And he appeared next to Luo Luo!

"You have too many questions," said the white cat. "Which one do you want me to answer?"

Bai Mao didn't deny his identity. He was very reluctant to let Wu Xu know about him, but at this point, knowing him might be worse than not knowing. He was too hostile to Xue Luo, and if any misunderstandings arose, it would be troublesome.

"Nie Xun, do you think I'm joking?" Wu Xu looked at the now-white cat with a complicated expression. "Two years ago, you suddenly resigned from the military. Now you're no longer an admiral, nor my superior. I'm just an ordinary person who wants to determine if there are any negative elements around Luo Luo."

The white cat sighed—

If Wu Xu heard correctly.

"Wu Xu, she is not an ordinary person."

"It doesn't matter if she's ordinary or not. She has her own life, and I don't want you to influence her." Wu Xu's tone was rather ambiguous. Even though Nie Xun was no longer an admiral, his last name was Nie. As a prominent young man from one of the ten great divine beast families of Divine Beast Star, he was likely to become a leader in the future. If he stayed by Luo Luo's side forever, how could he not influence her?

The white cat understood what he meant, but it also insisted on its own opinion: "Wu Xu, you don't know... She is not an ordinary person. It is very likely..."

"It's very likely that she is the...celestial maiden from the legend of our Divine Beast Star."

"A celestial maiden?" Wu Xu frowned, still skeptical. "Your Divine Beast Star has many myths and legends. In your legends, this omnipotent celestial maiden is the originator of the current healers in the alliance. But myths are just myths after all. How could Luoluo..."

"How could she be? But do you really think she doesn't look like one?" The white cat looked at him, her voice hoarse and dull. "The legendary celestial maiden can lift objects from the air and possesses incredibly powerful healing abilities... Hasn't she been acting like one lately?"

"Also, don't you think...she's completely different from before?"

These words hit Wu Xu's heart hard, and also exposed his long-held suspicions.

"But her spiritual sea is still the same."

"Maybe she is still her." The white cat said lightly.

The white cat said, "I won't harm her. I'll just stay for a while."

Wu Xu looked at him: "I hope you can do what you say."

"Of course," said the white cat.
