Take Me In, I’ll Ward Off Evil

[Upcoming novel "Let Go of My Baby," blurb at the bottom~]

Imperial Marshal Fu Shiyuan's mech suddenly malfunctioned during a battle with the Zerg. He was ambushed by a traitor and disappeared.

When he reappeared, a lump of shaggy black soot had appeared on his military cap.

According to incomplete records, this fluffy lump of black soot was a mysterious creature from ancient Earth tens of thousands of years ago: a black cat.

Legend said it had the magical power to protect the home, ward off evil, and bring wealth.

A black cat with mysterious powers!

The people of the empire immediately went crazy, launching a virtual cat-petting prayer craze. All sorts of bizarre rumors spread across the entire star network.

Forward this photo of a black cat and your most urgent wish will come true.

Make a wish to the black cat, and everything you wish for will come true!

Worship the black cat and you'll get rich!

Yu Tingting raised a hind paw to scratch her ear, looking completely bewildered.

These humans were so strange. They kept bowing to her, looking feverish and muttering nonsense. They were going to scare the meow out of her!

A little scene

A chat board on a military affairs forum:

[Topic: Why is the marshal looking for the kitty again?]

2L: The kitty's sulking again. Place your bets: where's it hiding today?

3L: In the wardrobe!

4L: On the sofa!

5L: Under the bed!

6L: In the marshal's military cap!

1080L: Reporting in! Found it! In the clothes the marshal left out on the balcony...

Everyone: ???

[Topic: Good grief! Why has the marshal, who has worn black for a thousand years, suddenly started dressing in such flashy clothes? He scared the life out of me!]

18L: I know the answer! The marshal's black clothes always end up with a cat on them!

106L: The kitty is so hard to find when it hides. It's not just his clothes: the marshal changed all his furniture to different colors!

339L: I have a bold idea...

487L: I have a bold idea too. If I start wearing black, will a kitty appear on my clothes?

1068L: Sure, as long as you can beat the marshal. √

Reading guide:

* A proud, grudge-holding, escape-prone newbie cat demon as the receiving partner x a cold, scheming, slightly crazy, absurdly powerful top

* Lots of personal worldbuilding, one-on-one fluffy fluff. Enjoy the story, don't take it too seriously. If you argue, you're right~

* The author's skills are limited, but I'm working hard to improve. Please be kind~

[Upcoming novel "Let Go of My Baby"]

An accident sent Shi Xingmiao to the interstellar era, pregnant with a baby.

Shi Xingmiao hadn't yet recovered from the shock that men could get pregnant when the thing he gave birth to left him stunned

How could a human give birth to a kitten?

Forced into fatherhood, Shi Xingmiao was afraid people would discover his "mysterious" nature. He had no choice but to take his baby and hide from place to place while beginning his training as a rookie dad.

The baby could eat and sleep and was growing fast. The only thing that made Shi Xingmiao feel like tearing his hair out was that the little one longed to see the outside world and kept crawling away whenever he wasn't looking!

The 101st time Shi Xingmiao went out in a panic to search for his missing baby, he finally resolved to stop indulging the little one and letting him roam free.

After finally tracking the baby down, he saw someone holding it up by the scruff of its neck. Its paws were curled up, and it looked utterly pitiful.

Furious, Shi Xingmiao rushed forward to snatch the baby back, but failed.

He looked up at the tall, imposing man with a fierce expression and couldn't help hiccupping

Oh no. Was this the man he'd spent that one night with, the one who'd fathered the baby?

Good grief! Was the baby's identity about to be exposed?

Was he going to be taken away and cut up for experiments?

The man's gaze fell on Shi Xingmiao's trembling head, and he looked puzzled. "Have we met somewhere before? Where did this little one come from?"

Shi Xingmiao looked at the baby dangling and swaying in his hand, his heart aching as he choked back tears.

"P-please let go of my baby..." QAQ

*

In the year 8614 of the Star Calendar, no babies had been born in the Blue Star Empire for nearly thirty years.

Experts declared that unless a way could be found to suppress mental-power outbursts in the various races and preserve their bloodlines, all races would become extinct without any descendants.

As the people of the entire empire grew increasingly anxious, Marshal Zhu Sheng, commander of the empire's Thirteenth Army, boldly announced that he had a baby!

Seeing hope for the future, the people of the empire erupted in celebration, all eager to find out who the brave soul raising a child with the ruthless, violent Zhu Sheng could possibly be.

If Zhu Sheng could do it, then so could they!!!

Shi Xingmiao: ?!!
