Chapter 7
The child's speech had a tone like that of an ancient book, just like his personality, which was as rigid as a knife. The dragons were used to it.
But the kitten was not used to it.
Li Jue recognized from the silver-white highlights in Ling Xi's black hair that this was the only little brother who was willing to be nice to him in the Shen family.
Rock's pants and shoes had no appeal anymore, and the kitten jumped off his feet and slipped.
The cub didn't need to walk a single step, it just slid in front of the boy with the propeller turning.
Lingxi: "..."
Dragons: “…”
The dizzy kitten tried several times before it stood up again. Every step felt like it was walking on clouds. It stretched out its little paw and patted Lingxi's shoes: "Meow!"
Seeing that the boy only looked down at him without hugging him, the cub kept calling out, "Xixi, Xixi!"
Lin Wang and the others looked over at the same time: "Baby, do you know Xiao Lingxi?"
Li Jue was stunned.
Do you know...?
The memory of the small system is still in chaos.
However, no matter how dense the night is, there is always a bright lighthouse.
He only knew, or was very sure, that this was his Xixi.
The boy finally picked up the kitten that was rubbing against his trouser leg and scratched it behind the ear. He whispered, "I'm not Xixi. I'm Lingxi."
Li Jue was puzzled.
What's the difference between Ling Xi and Ling Xi?
Aren’t they all his?
However, since the little brother said so, the cub would not insist. He shook his cat ears and changed his name to "Xixi!"
After hearing these three words, Ling Xi's expressionless face showed a subtle change.
No one noticed, including Li Jue.
Ling Xi looked at the adults and asked again, "Commanders, did you ask me for anything?"
Speaking of which, Lin Wang's way of calling the kid "chief" was just a bad taste.
He didn't want their family to look like bullies who burned, killed, and looted, or like slaves working like slaves. It was too cheap.
Since they are starships and equipped with weapons, they can be treated as warships.
So it is reasonable to call everyone "chief", and it sounds majestic.
Will, who had called him, was stunned. "Oh, I was wondering if you knew this species and what to feed him. We're planning to keep him until the boss comes out of confinement."
When Ling Xi heard them say that the little guy was a gift for Finks, her eyebrows jumped.
But he didn't show it. He just subconsciously hugged the little fur ball tightly and lowered his head: "I know him, he is... a cat."
"hair?"
"cat."
"spear?"
"……cat."
"cat?"
"Um."
Dragons, you look at me, and I look at you.
What is a cat?
Ling Xi was also stunned. She didn't expect that none of these dragons knew what a cat was.
In the era of the universe, while civilizations across the entire galaxy are experiencing explosive growth, they are also experiencing large-scale extinction.
Many races evolved, merged, and were born, which of course was accompanied by the depletion of a large number of lives.
Cats are one of those species that have been extinct for a long time.
Will muttered to himself and searched on his computer what "spear" was... no, "cat".
Lida patted the kitten's head and said in surprise, "Sweetheart, I didn't expect you to be a rare resurrected species."
Lin Wang smiled proudly: "This gift will definitely satisfy the boss."
Although Li Jue didn't understand what they were saying, he could still hear the amazement and admiration in Lida and Lin Wang's voices.
Are you praising your baby?
He must be praising his baby~
The kitten narrowed its golden eyes, lowered its tail and wagged it, then proudly meowed at the two-legged beasts.
But it's a great baby!
While Will was looking up information, he didn't forget the reason why he called Ayaka here in the first place: "Since you know what he is, you also know how to feed him, right? Go get him something to eat. Also, think about how to make him learn to walk."
The cub's propeller-like movement really shocked all the dragons.
Although they didn't know much about cats, they didn't think this was the correct way to walk.
Ling Xi picked up the kitten's paw and turned it over, then found the crux of the problem: "I'll shave the hair under his paw so that he won't slip so much when he walks."
The adults looked at each other in confusion.
Is there such a saying?
As expected of their little butler Ayaka, he is quite knowledgeable.
Lin Wang waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. I'll leave this little thing to you. You need to fatten it up... I mean, keep it well, and wait for the boss to come out."
The boy was nervous about what he said, but he remained patient and didn't show it on his face. He said with a wooden face, "I understand, sir."
He looked down at the kitten, and the kitten looked up at him.
Innocent and naive, he was in a cheerful mood and had no idea what kind of hungry dragon's den he had fallen into.
At first glance, you can tell that he's the type of person who would be sold but still help others count money.
But what can I do?
Ling Xi hugged Li Jue tightly and turned to enter the turbo elevator.
It doesn't matter.
He will definitely protect him.
*
The little servant had his own room, not on the same floor as the other dragons.
Ayaka's room was covered with cream-colored carpet, which was not as slippery as the bridge and corridors.
He squatted down and put the kitten down from his arms.
Li Jue raised his little paw and patted the carpet, which was much rougher than the tiles.
Oh my god.
Oh my God!
What does it feel like?
Why does the cub want to continue scratching, scratching again, and again... scratching again?
Even though they haven't been cats for long, what kitten can resist the temptation of sharpening its claws?
It really... really fascinates me!
The kitten twisted its little butt, jumped from one side to the other, and had a lot of fun playing with itself.
He was so tiny, and his brain was the size of a sesame seed.
After assistant Momo lost contact, the small system has completely forgotten why it came to this sub-world.
All the little cubs have to do is be cute and happy.
After carefully confirming that the door was locked, Ling Xi walked over to the kitten and sat down cross-legged.
He patted the front of himself and motioned Li Jue to come over.
The kitten plays on the carpet and sharpens its claws.
At this time, she was summoned and jumped into Ling Xi's arms, looking up with her little face: "Xixi meow~!"
Ling Xi carefully picked up the soft little ball of fur as if it were some rare treasure.
Take a deep breath and bury your face in the warm fur of the cub.
“…Jiejue.”
The kitten felt itchy but happy.
It really is his Xixi.
The only person who calls him "Jue Jue" is Xixi.
No, no, it’s Xixi now.
Ling Xi maintained that posture for a long time without moving.
I don’t know if it’s the kitten’s illusion, but I always feel that the piece of fur where it was stuck is a little wet.
The cub waved its little paws as if paddling water: "Hehe!"
The boy finally put him down and sniffed, "I told you I'd come find you. I'll definitely do what I promised."
Although Li Jue doesn't remember most things about life, he has not forgotten the part about his little brother.
I didn’t forget that they sat together in the quilt to keep warm, and I didn’t forget that they shared a piece of sweet osmanthus cake together.
Li Jue licked his fingers happily and took a light bite.
This is the kitten's way of expressing love.
The kitten is only one month old and its little teeth are not intimidating at all.
Ling Xi touched his little nose, which was moist and soft.
Kitty, that's incredible.
"Meow." The kitten raised its head, needing to do one last step to confirm. "Xixi, do that!"
Ling Xi understood what he meant, raised her hand, and held her left thumb with the four fingers of her right hand, placing it close to her forehead.
That was their favorite longhorn game.
That’s right, it’s Xixi!
The kitten placed its paw on the palm of the two-legged beast and stamped it with a plum blossom seal.
Then, Li Jue rubbed his head against Ling Xi, trying to leave his scent on the biped.
This way everyone will know that this biped already has an owner!
The boy, who always had a serious face in front of the Shen family and the dragon clan, gave the kitten a sincere and gentle smile.
He thought of something: "Juejue, are you hungry?"
Li Jue stopped playing and tilted his head to think about it.
It had been a long time since he came here from the heavy snow. He had not had a drop of water, but he did not feel hungry.
You know, before at the Shen family, every time he ate the cold food, he would have stomachache and feel hungry again soon.
Dad once said that cold food should not be eaten.
But if he doesn't eat anything, he will only feel worse, so the little cub must force himself to eat everything he can.
Even though my stomach hurts, there's nothing I can do about it.
But now, not only was he not hungry, the slight pain from the abuse he suffered in the Shen family had also disappeared.
He was no longer an ordinary human being and no longer needed to eat and rest to survive.
"Cubby isn't hungry." Li Jue was surprised to realize this. "What's wrong with cubby?"
The system bug was temporarily blocked by all running programs. Ling Xi rubbed her kitten head and said, "You've become an elf."
"Elf?"
"Yes, it's a very magical and beautiful creature." Ling Xi looked at his golden cat eyes that looked like glass beads. "Just like you."
Zizi thought about it and it seemed that his father had read fairy tales about elves before.
But he doesn't have wings yet.
Li Jue asked: "When will I have elf wings?"
Ling Xi looked at the fluffy little cub and said, "Cats don't have wings. Perhaps, entering the next world..."
Realizing she had revealed too much, Ling Xi quickly stopped talking and changed the subject: "Juejue, do you want to see the starship?"
Since the dragons gave Li Jue to him to raise and didn't say anything about precautions, then walking the cat should be a very normal part of his life... right?
Starship?
The kitten tilted its head.
He still remembered that the big Twoleg said that he (dis)agrees with him staying on the starship.
So the place where I am now is this thing called "starship"?
Sounds like fun!
The cub shook its cat ears: "I want to see meow~"
Considering that most places on the starship were made of slippery glass bricks, Ling Xi first held Li Jue in her arms and shaved the hair under his paws.
It was his first time doing this, but he was very skilled. The tools he used were completely silent and did not cause any disgust to the kitten.
The most important thing is that Xiao Lijue trusts his brother Xixi very much. He lies on his back and relaxes, allowing humans to knead him, with his tail swinging back and forth in enjoyment.
After Ling Xi finished shaving his hair, the kitten nestled in his arms had its eyes closed and was almost asleep.
