[Sentinel-and-guide + interstellar + two male leads]
When the border planet V-73 was ambushed by pollutants, the casualties were devastating. Major General Lu Wenjing was ordered to lead troops there on a rescue mission.
A pale, slender boy lay amid the ruins left by the battle. A white cat the size of a palm was sprawled by his feet, barely alive. The boy was a badly injured guide.
Bai Yuli had only just awakened as a guide, and his mental strength was a pitiful Grade C. He seemed even less combat-ready than his white cat spirit...
Then one day, Lu Wenjing and his troops were surrounded by pollutants. Gravely wounded, his mental landscape on the verge of collapse,
he saw countless white mental tendrils suddenly burst from the little guide beside him, lashing viciously at the monsters.
The usually innocent and guileless Bai Yuli now had a resolute, piercing gaze. His formidable mental strength instantly brought every snarling pollutant to heel.
He crossed the vast polluted zone, stopped before the sentinel, and held out a hand to him. “Would you like me to protect you, Major General Lu?”
