Hey, You Can't Squeeze the Tiger's Big Bell!

Ning Que was a cat lover.

The moment he entered military school, he decided to get a cat.

As luck would have it, he came across a stray cat under the apartment building on campus and took it home without a second thought.

The kitten was very well-behaved, except for one thing: it wouldn't eat cat food, and it had a huge appetite.

It was a hefty expense, but worth it for his beloved cat!

But as the days passed, the tiny kitten, which had weighed only a few hundred grams, somehow grew into a giant cat weighing hundreds of pounds. It could easily knock Ning Que over, then lick him from head to toe with its barbed tongue.

Ning Que stared at its silver-white stripes, then at its body, which was taller than him when it stood up.

"Is something not quite right here?"

Lu Zheng, Major General of the Empire.

He was gravely injured in battle and lost his spirit form.

In the interstellar age, a person's spirit form represented their combat ability.

The military was shocked and launched an all-out search, determined to find the major general's spirit form!

Lu Zheng himself was quite calm.

His spirit form would come back once it had recovered, after all.

With time on his hands, he also took on a temporary teaching assignment at the Imperial Military Academy.

But from the day his spirit form disappeared, Lu Zheng noticed something strange about his body: after every class, he could feel someone touching him. He could even feel someone squeezing and kneading that part of him.

Lu Zheng: "..."

As his injuries improved, his spirit form gradually recovered and could be summoned back at any time.

But it refused to come back!

Finally, at the military academy apartments, Lu Zheng saw his spirit form with his own eyes, clinging to the student he was mentoring and rubbing its tiger head all over him.

The student was laughing, too, reaching out to squeeze the tiger's balls.

Lu Zheng: "..."

Lu Zheng summoned his spirit form back without hesitation.

What kind of look was it for the dignified white tiger to cling to his student like that!

Ning Que was dumbfounded.

Help! The kitten I picked up on a whim was the major general's spirit form?

As expected, you shouldn't pick up stray cats off the street...

For the next few days, Ning Que kept his head down and behaved himself.

He missed the kitty, of course, but it was the major general's spirit form. How could he touch it whenever he wanted?

If he really couldn't take it anymore, he could always pet the strays on campus instead.

But Ning Que never expected that half a month later, when he returned to his apartment, some enormous creature would be sprawled across his little bed once more.

The young major general lounged there, resting his head on the silver-white big cat, whose long tail swished excitedly.

"Where did you squeeze last time?"

"Come over and squeeze it again."
