Star Wars: Rat's Revenge
As the main guns of the interstellar flagship, the Sweet Predator, aimed at the medical bay, Xiaodou nibbled on Ling Yuan's breakfast—a nutty, spiritual power cake. A mechanical cat lieutenant rushed in, chips sparking. "Pirate King Bai Yan has arrived with his chocolate fleet! He said...he wanted to turn the entire planet into a candy jar!"
"Crack." Xiaodou bit the fork in half. "What else did he say?"
"And..." The mechanical cat's ears twitched, "I want to fill the main gun with strawberry-flavored shells, and propose to you after they explode."
Ling Yuan's coffee cup clattered to the ground, and three personalities flashed before his eyes: Bai Yan's gentleness, Lin Shen's helplessness, and Ling Yuan's cold expression. Finally, he adjusted his nonexistent glasses (Lin Shen's personality came online): "Looks like I need to go talk to 'my other self'."
In the command room, Ling Yuan just connected the video call when he saw Bai Yan (Pirate King version) wearing a diamond-studded eyepatch and holding a mechanical hamster (which looked like Xiaodou) in his arms: "Baby, guess what I brought you?"
Xiaodou poked his head out from Ling Yuan's shoulder, and his eyes lit up instantly - the cargo hold behind Bai Yan was filled with chocolate interstellar battleships, and a piece of osmanthus cake was embedded in the bow of each ship.
"Bai Yan!" Ling Yuan (Ling Yuan's personality) slammed the table with a cold face, "You are committing interstellar terrorism!"
"No, this is romance." Bai Yan chuckled as he tossed the gold coin, but the tips of Bai Yan's ears turned red. "I didn't ask for marriage back in the demon world, this time I'm going to use all the sweetness in the galaxy to knock you out—"
"Wait!" Xiaodou suddenly pointed at Bai Yan's mechanical hamster, "Is the bell on its tail mine?"
Bai Yan was stunned and subconsciously covered the hamster's tail: "W-what bell? This is my pet 'Sweet Bean'!"
The mechanical cat suddenly coughed: "Major General, the energy core of the pirate flagship is... a strawberry-flavored spiritual power crystal."
Xiaodou's eyes lit up, and his claws were already on the jump button: "Ling Yuan, take me to the flagship! I want to gnaw on the core!"
Ling Yuan (Bai Yan's personality) sighed: "As expected, every crisis is a snack crisis in your eyes..." Although he said that, he still picked up Xiaodou and rushed into the fighter plane.
In the flagship's cargo hold, Xiaodou looked at the mountains of chocolate battleships, and his saliva dripped onto the deck, corroding a hole - it turned out that in order to "sweet Xiaodou's heart", Bai Yan built a fleet with edible laser cannons, with the deck made of wafers and the shells made of gummy candies.
"Baby, this is my betrothal gift to you!" Bai Yan descended from the ceiling, the icing on his cloak falling off. "As long as you agree to my proposal, all the dessert shops in the galaxy will be yours!"
Xiaodou stared at the strawberry crystal core on his waist, his tail flicking with light: "Let me take a bite of the core first, just one bite!"
"No!" Bai Yan protected the core, "This is made from the 3,000-year-old strawberry king. If you eat it..."
"Will it burst?" Xiaodou had already jumped onto his shoulder. "Don't worry, my stomach can hold an entire planet!"
Before he finished speaking, the mechanical cat suddenly activated its self-destruct program: "Concept Mouse eating detected, activating the 'Sweet Trap'!"
Ling Yuan (Lin Shen's personality) quickly grabbed Xiaodou, but saw Bai Yan raise a sly smile at the corner of his mouth - the so-called "core" turned out to be a time-space bomb, which, once eaten, would send Xiaodou back to the scene three thousand years ago.
The moment the strawberry juice splashed into Xiaodou's eyes, he saw a scene from three thousand years ago:
- Bai Yan (the guardian at the time) knelt in the ruins, holding the dying Xiaodou in his arms, and the claw heart rune was dim.
- Concept The Rat Clan elder scattered the star fragments across time and space: "Only by dispersing the soul and the key can we avoid the pursuit of the Heavenly Dao."
- Xiaodou (the conceptual Rat King) opened his eyes, the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye overlapped with the real world, and he smiled at the guardian: "Next time we meet, I want you to propose to me with osmanthus cake."
"So..." Xiaodou choked and grabbed Bai Yan's hand, "You've been waiting for me for three thousand years."
Bai Yan's eye mask slipped off, revealing the same star pattern as Ling Yuan's. "So this time, I won't let you disappear again—even if I have to become a pirate, I will build a candy bridge for you across the rift in time and space!"
The time-space bomb suddenly exploded, and Xiaodou felt himself being sucked into a vortex, but was hugged by three pairs of hands at the same time: Bai Yan's diamond-studded gloves, Lin Shen's white coat cuffs, and Ling Yuan's military uniform belt.
"Don't be afraid," three voices overlapped, "We are here."
When the light faded, Xiaodou saw a man standing in front of him wearing a color-blocked jacket - the left half was Bai Yan's blue shirt, the right half was Lin Shen's white coat, around his waist hung Ling Yuan's tactical belt, and the tips of his ears were as red as strawberry jam.
"Now," he chuckled, rubbing Xiaodou's ears with his fingertips, "should I call you Bai Shenyuan or Lin Lingyan? But it doesn't matter..."
He took out a ring with a miniature Heaven-Swallowing Pattern on the ring face, and three flavors of candy embedded inside it: "This ring is made with the power of three souls. Wear it, and no matter which world you travel to, I can-"
"Can you give me some osmanthus cake?" Xiaodou tilted his head.
"I can catch up with you, and then..." Bai Shenyuan suddenly leaned in close and whispered in his ear, "I'll take you back to my nest and chew on you for the rest of my life.
The mechanical cat adjutant suddenly popped up a holographic map, showing that the time anchor points of the 1960s, the demon world, and the modern campus glowed at the same time, and the rune on Xiaodou's paw finally formed the complete "Deer Seen in the Deep Forest".
Bai Shenyuan's ring suddenly became hot, and the ancient prophecy of the Concept Rat Clan emerged: "When the three souls become one and the Concept Rat sheds tears, the gate of heaven will open, and the guardian..."
"And the guardian will go into reincarnation with the concept mouse." Xiaodou took over the words and saw that his tears dripped onto the ring, which turned into a time and space key in the shape of osmanthus cake.
