“May I ask who you are?” Gugu sent a message, not noticing the sudden dilation of the golden pupils of the black panther beside him.
If Gugu casually searched the StarNet, he would see various information about this legendary figure. Lie Lanyang, the beastmen who had won the title of “beastmen King” for seventeen consecutive times, founder of the First Legion, renowned for his military exploits, and once the nemesis of the insect race. At eighteen, he found his true love on his first match and has since had sixty-nine children.
However, these were not Lie Lanyang’s greatest achievements. According to StarNet polls, his greatest pride should be in raising an outstanding chief.
Yes, not raising, but releasing.
Although Lie Lanyang had many children, he never missed any important days for his other children, even if it meant breaking discipline to accompany them, except for Lie Beishuang.
Lie Lanyang and his partner treated Lie Beishuang as if he were air.
From childhood to adulthood, there had never been a celebration for his birthday, never attended a parent-teacher meeting, and even at Lie Beishuang’s inauguration ceremony, the couple was nowhere to be seen.
Although they provided him with no emotional care, the couple did not neglect Lie Beishuang’s material well-being. Before reaching adulthood, Lie Beishuang had the same clothes, the same independent room, and the same pocket money as his siblings, without any deviation.
Upon reaching adulthood, Lie Beishuang began attending military academy. Apart from one accident, he never contacted his parents again, not even through a single video call. Some even suspected that Lie Beishuang might not have his parents’ ID numbers.
All of this seems to indicate one thing: Lie Lanyang and his partner do not love this child, but out of moral and legal obligation, they raised him. The child also feels no emotional attachment to his parents and keeps his distance from them.
There are also various rumors suggesting that Lie Beishuang is Lie Lanyang’s illegitimate child, hence the treatment he received. However, these are all unsubstantiated rumors without any evidence to support them.
But Gugu didn’t search on the StarNet, and even mistakenly thought that this was a big shot who wanted to buy his own SSS-grade armor.
It wasn’t until the big shot replied to the message: “I am the father of your marriage match.”
“Marriage match?” Gugu recalled for a moment, then, in front of the big cat, he searched in the light brain and finally found the matching notification that had been forgotten in the corner.
“Lie Beishuang, Lie Lanyang.” Gugu compared the names and confirmed the father-son relationship.
“How strange.” Boge couldn’t help scratching the big cat’s chin. “This beastmen doesn’t like me. We agreed to apply for dissolution in three months. Why would his father want to talk to me?”
“Purr?” The big cat turned its head to stare at Boge, unable to utter a single word.
Which beastmen doesn’t like you?
Say that again?
“Mimi, you also feel puzzled, right?” Gugu stroked the leopard while starting to speculate.
“I met that beastmen once. He looked good and seemed very serious, not one to joke around. I initially guessed he must be quite formidable, whether in his career or other aspects.” Gugu tried to recall their encounter.
“Mimi, do you think his dad might suddenly pull out a billion credits and say, ‘As long as you leave my son, all these credits are yours’?” Gugu tried to dream of getting rich overnight.
The big cat fell silent.
If they still hated themselves, maybe they really would do that.
Their arrival had brought an extraordinary impact to Lie Lanyang’s family. A wife who deeply loved her husband couldn’t accept it when her husband suddenly brought a baby one day, saying, “This is my child.”
Lie Suyuan, the eldest son, had once told Lie Beishuang that their parents had never quarreled, but the night Lie Beishuang arrived, they almost divorced.
All the mistakes were because of themselves, because of that woman. Lie Lanyang and his wife were innocent; they were both victims. It was understandable for them to hate themselves; it didn’t matter if they despised themselves again, but this time… they didn’t want to back down.
“It’s not good to accept directly; I should be polite and then accept.” Gugu didn’t notice the complicated look in the big cat’s eyes and nodded thoughtfully. “If he gives too few credits, I should still be able to negotiate a price. Based on my experience of watching videos, I shouldn’t ask for too much, otherwise, it’s very likely to make him wish us happiness.”
The heavy mood of the panther gradually eased with the light tone of the young man. When he heard the last sentence, the big cat’s whiskers twitched.
“At least ten thousand credits.” Gugu counted on his fingers. “With ten thousand credits, I can buy you a big cat climbing frame, buy nutritional paste, buy spray-type drug inhaler, buy big dried fish, buy bathing sterilizer, buy catnip, buy chew sticks…”
Gugu took a deep breath. “If there’s any left, I’ll save it to get you neutered.”
The big cat slowly turned its head to stare at the young man.
Why would someone be so persistent about neutering pets!
Seeing the look in the big cat’s eyes, Gugu felt like he understood.
“In my era, not neutering pets was considered irresponsible. You know, being neutered can prevent you from going into heat, sparing you from the pain of heat cycles.”
“And also,” Gugu lowered his voice, gently touching the big cat’s abdomen, “neutering can reduce the incidence of urinary system diseases, and your lifespan will also increase!”
“Lastly,” Gugu looked seriously at the big cat, “If you suddenly run off one day and get another cat pregnant, I’ll have to pay for milk powder. Look at Bubu, we can barely support ourselves, let alone afford milk powder for you. Is that what it looks like?”
Facing the youth’s wild imagination, the big cat chose to turn its head and close its eyes, ignoring him.
Not wanting to miss out on earning some credits, Gugu was about to reply to the message when he suddenly didn’t know how to address this uncle’s father.
“I call that beastmen uncle, and that uncle’s father…” Boge locked eyes with the big cat, and suddenly had an idea, “Should I call him grandpa?”
Lie Beishuang pondered for a moment. Lie Lanyang had his first litter at eighteen, and now he was fifty-nine, in the prime of his beastmen life. His first grandson, who was twenty-three this year, five years older than Gugu, but to call him grandpa…
The big cat calmly covered its face with a paw, while Boge decided to make the other party sound younger, maybe even get a little more out of him.
“Hello Uncle, I can meet with you anytime.” Gugu read aloud as he tapped to send the message.
“Thank you. Today afternoon, Abel Prime Star time 5:30, Cat’s Breath Water Store A01.”
Lie Lanyang replied quickly. Boge put away the light brain with relief. Xiaodu had already set the table, and Gugu couldn’t help but eat a lot faster with the unexpected windfall.
The big cat seemed to have little appetite today. After eating two portions of nutrient meals, it stopped and went back to the bedroom with its tail hanging down. Gugu hurriedly followed and massaged the big cat’s belly.
People tend to get drowsy after eating their fill, and Gugu fell asleep holding one of the big cat’s paws.
Xiao jinqu brought over the black cat plush toy that Gugu had bought for the big cat. The big cat carefully withdrew its paw and replaced it with the plush toy.
“I must speak with Lie Lanyang in person.” The big cat locked the bedroom door and looked at Xiao jinqiu, “But in my current state, I can’t meet him. Is there anything that can accelerate the metabolism of drugs in my body?”
“In theory, pollen can accelerate drug metabolism, but it will make your condition unstable,” Xiao jinqu hesitated, “You may lose control and be unable to control your form for a period of time.”
The big cat hesitated and turned to look at the sleeping youth in the bedroom. After careful consideration, it looked back at the golden sphere with determination.
“Scepter, give me the pollen.”
