Chapter 36: Spiritual Body Nan Qi stretched out his body, his head resting on Bai’s neck…
In the dark night, on the cliffs composed of steep mountains, a nimble figure kept climbing on the cliffs.
Bai has very good eyesight, and his SS-level mental power can greatly enhance his five senses, allowing him to see the flashes of cold light revealed by Nan Qi as he moved.
With every flash, a high-grade black crystal stone falls.
Those claws were as sharp as cat's claws, completely different from the ferocious ones of the star beasts.
When it popped out, it was like the finest steel blade, flashing with cold light. When it was retracted, it was covered by soft, fleshy paw pads and fur, looking round and cute, one petal at a time, like some kind of fruit he had seen.
That kind of fruit is extremely rare and worth a fortune.
Bai flapped his wings and moved closer, allowing himself to see more clearly how the beautiful, round cat claws dug out the black crystal they needed.
With a few scratches and presses of the furry cat's paws, the hard black crystal stone was cut off like soft and silky chocolate, and then held in the cat's paws.
Only then did Bai discover that the pads on Nanqi's cat's paws were actually pink, a beautiful pink.
But the pink color is covered with a layer of black crystal lime, making it look dirty.
Not only the paw pads, but also Nan Qi's face, head, and clothes were covered with it, just like the little black cat that always slept on the swing chair in his house and rolled around in the sand next to it when it woke up.
Suddenly, Bai said, "Would it be easier to maintain balance if the tail was exposed?"
"Hey, is it okay?" Nan Qi tilted his head and looked at Bai, "Won't we be seen?"
"No." Bai shook his head. "The people who came this time are all my trusted aides. They can't see us from this height."
After thinking for a moment, Bai added, "There are no surveillance cameras nearby. The mine manager secretly reported the possibility of high-grade black crystal mines on Porter Star. He had selfish motives and didn't set up surveillance here."
"Tonight, I asked Lunk to find an excuse to start checking the accounts. The administrator is probably too busy right now to notice anything going on here."
"Oh, Siphis wants to take advantage of the situation, that's great, it makes things convenient for us."
After hearing this, Nan Qi stretched out his furry tail from his tail vertebrae. The long and soft fur was blown across Bai's face by the cold wind from high above, making it itchy. Bai couldn't help but sneeze.
“A-choo——”
Nan Qi, who knew nothing, turned around and looked at Bai with sparkling eyes: "What's wrong? Too cold? Have a cold? You go down first, I'm here."
"No, I just sneeze occasionally. I'm here to keep you company." Shiro moved closer. "You're helping me. How could I leave you here by yourself? I'm quite curious."
"What are you curious about?" Nan Qi kept moving, and with the tail helping him maintain balance, his movements became faster.
"I'm curious how you mine. I don't think I saw this cat's claw last time."
"Last time?" Nan Qi was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the last time Bai was talking about was when they had an intimate relationship. Suddenly, he felt a little embarrassed and whispered, "Didn't you say I was a cat demon? It's normal for cat demons to have claws."
Bai: "...Angry? I don't know what happened to you that made you different from us, but I know you're not a monster."
Hearing Bai say this, Nan Qi, who was not angry to begin with, had the doubts suppressed in his heart resurfaced.
"When you saw me like this, didn't you doubt that I wasn't a Zerg?"
Bai shook his head. "The Zerg's mental power is special. That's why male Zergs can use their soothing mental power, while female Zergs' mental power will riot. Other races don't do that."
"It's also because of this that the Zerg, despite their strength, cannot completely defeat the Star Beasts. Furthermore, you're SSS-rank. Since the founding of the Empire, there has never been an SSS-rank male Zerg. It's quite possible that you have some special abilities."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Nan Qi understood.
The Zerg's psychic power is like a kind of mark burned into their souls, allowing them to recognize their own kind.
Their own mental power will also riot, and it must be similar to the "taste" of the Zerg's mental power, which makes them mistakenly think that they are Zerg.
He has no wings, no female markings on his body, and no female reproductive cavity in his body, so he is naturally a male insect.
After figuring this out, Nan Qi felt completely relieved. As long as they couldn't find out that he was an alien, everything would be fine.
To be honest, he was quite lucky. The first time he revealed his identity, he met a female insect general who was reasonable, grateful, had good character, and was in a high position but had a very difficult life.
They were in the same boat and needed each other, so it was natural for them to travel together.
If he had encountered other bugs, he would probably be in a research institute on the central star by now.
After all, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot withstand the encirclement and suppression of powerful forces.
"Doesn't that mean there are no spies from other countries in the empire?" Nan Qi's mind was full of ideas.
Bai smiled and said, "There are some. There are many small devices that can block the Zerg's perception of their own kind. Some countries also train Zerg to serve as spies."
"When you were unconscious, the brothers took you to the hospital. The doctor examined you thoroughly, but there was no equipment on you."
Nan Qi nodded and muttered, "Very cautious."
When Bai heard Nan Qi's words, the corners of his mouth curled up in the dark, revealing a gentle smile.
He flew forward and watched Nan Qi easily dig out the black crystal with his sharp claws, feeling it was a bit magical.
"It must hurt to use your claws at such a high intensity." Bai remembered that kittens' claws would bleed if they overused them.
"No." Nan Qi smiled, "Let me think about how to explain it to you."
"Okay, no rush."
Bai waited obediently for Nan Qi's explanation. After the conversation stopped, the only sound in the silent space was the crackling sound of the ore being cut by the sharp claws.
After an unknown amount of time, Nan Qi spoke: "I don't know if it's because my mental strength is too strong, but when I was born, my body was very weak, almost collapsed, and my mental strength didn't even fluctuate. My family regarded me as a freak."
"My father took me away from the family and moved to the mountains. So, when the full moon came, I didn't get any mental manifestation injections, nor did I register with the Mastermind."
"When I grew up, my spiritual power changed. I found that it could transform into a kitten to keep me company. I had no friends, so I could only play with it. Until one day, I met a star beast. I was 8 years old that year."
Bai Xin suddenly shrank: "You...are injured?"
Nan Qi nodded and said, "I almost died. The little black cat that I transformed from my spiritual power saved me. I also gradually figured out how to use my spiritual power."
Most of what Nan Qi said was true, including that he was abandoned by his family due to physical reasons when he was born, and that he almost died when he was 8 years old, but was saved by his own spirit body.
It was just that it was his parents who took him away, and what he encountered when he was 8 years old was an alien creature instead of a star beast.
Nan Qi closed his eyes slightly, and a black kitten appeared from behind him, jumped up and landed on Nan Qi's shoulder, tilting its head to look at Bai.
A turquoise cat's eye, nine flamboyant black tails, a pair of cat ears that look like small triangles with perfect arcs buckled on the round cat's head, and the fur on the tips of the ears fluttering in the wind.
Noble, cunning, beautiful, and mysterious, just like the feeling Nan Qi gave him.
Nan Qi opened his eyes, and his black pupils turned into emerald green cat pupils. Cat ears, like those of a kitten but much larger, also appeared on Nan Qi's head.
"I call it a spirit." Nan Qi pointed at the kitten on his shoulder, then at himself, "I call this situation spirit possession."
"After a complete spirit possesses me, I can completely transform into my spirit's appearance and have all its abilities. But after I was injured and fell unconscious last time, only my eyes change color and cat ears and tail appear after the spirit possesses me."
"The fact that Cat's Claw can appear now may be related to you."
"Is it related to me?" Bai Gang wanted to ask Nan Qi why he thought so, but then he remembered Nan Qi who was crazy about him that night, and he couldn't say the rest of the words.
Nan Qi obviously realized that now was not the time to talk about this, so he shut up.
The space became quiet, but the atmosphere was not awkward. There was an inexplicable emotion surging between the two insects.
Since the tail appeared, Nan Qi dug even faster.
He first used his tail to knock away the rock wall covering the black crystal, and then used his sharp cat claws to cut the black crystal.
Then Bai clearly saw Nan Qi's tail suddenly grow longer, and he rolled up the black crystal stone and threw it down the mountain.
The set of movements was smooth and flowing, as if it had been done countless times. Bai could only help occasionally. Most of the time he stayed around Nan Qi, reminding him to take a break from time to time.
Time passed quickly, and when the red sun quietly emerged from behind the mountain, Bai held Nan Qi's hand.
"That's enough, let's go back, you should rest too."
"Okay." Nan Qi stopped obediently. He had to steal things on a dark and windy night, so it would not be appropriate to do it openly now.
He knew that after today, they would most likely leave Potter Star, and they probably wouldn't have time to dig the mine anymore.
After thinking about it, Nan Qi asked Bai to wait for him for a while, and then a beautiful little black cat appeared out of nowhere and rushed into the mine.
"Hey!" Bai tried to stop him, but Nan Qi stopped him. "It's okay. I sense something is inside. I wonder if it has anything to do with the unusual appearance of high-grade black crystal ore in this area."
The black crystal mines discovered so far are all underground and in low mountains, and have never appeared in such steep and towering mountains.
Nan Qi considered the possibility of great changes in the world, but he was still a little concerned about the things in the mountain that gave him an unusual feeling.
He didn't go in to check before because he had no reliable companions to help him stand guard. Now that Bai is with him, he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't find out what's going on.
Bai Hu stayed beside Nan Qi, waiting for the little black cat to come back.
The little black cat jumped out of the mine not long after. Nan Qi lowered his head and touched his forehead to the little black cat.
The little black cat gradually disappeared, as if it had merged into Nan Qi's body.
After the little black cat completely disappeared, Nan Qi showed a bright smile.
"Bai, I found something great. Can we return to the Central Star a day later? Let's do it again tonight, just the two of us, okay?"
Bai wanted to say no, as he had already decided to return to the Central Star this afternoon. But when he saw Nan Qi's bright cat eyes, his refusal turned into an agreement.
Then he saw Nan Qi's eyes brighter.
Bai's eyes flashed, and he took the initiative to hug Nan Qi's waist, his eyes lowered so as not to meet Nan Qi's gaze.
"You haven't rested for a whole day and night. I'm going to take you down. Don't be so stubborn."
Nan Qi paused, but did not refuse and let Bai hold his waist tightly and take him down.
The female insect's arms were very strong, and her sleeves rose slightly, revealing a sexy wrist bone, which was dazzlingly white.
The warm body temperature came over along his half-leaning chest, and Nan Qi felt warm on his back, which made him feel drowsy.
He thought so and did so, his head tilting and falling on Bai's shoulder.
Bai didn't push Nan Qi away. He felt that Nan Qi was tired. A trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, which he didn't even notice, and his movements became gentler.
Feeling that Bai was protecting him, Nan Qi knew that this was Bai's way of repaying him for his hard work all night.
He stretched his body, rubbed his head against Bai's neck, and put his full weight on Bai. Bai exuded a pleasant smell, which made him feel very relaxed.
Bai didn't know what Nan Qi was thinking. Seeing that he showed dependence on her, she just thought that he was very tired. She put her free hand around Nan Qi's legs and lifted him up with a little force.
So when Melon and the others saw Bai and Nan Qi again, it was the scene of Bai holding Nan Qi horizontally as he descended from the sky, and then holding Nan Qi as he walked towards them, passed by them, and walked away.
They seemed to see Bai's raised mouth corners and gentle expression.
The insects looked at each other, shuddered at the same time, and said in unison: "This is really terrifying."
Oh my god, Bai Xiao is not scary, but his gentleness and softness are scary. Everyone knows that when the God of War looks like this, some insects will be in trouble!
Run, run!
