Reincarnated as a Powerful Figure, I Saved a Two-Legged Beast (Interstellar)

[Overpowered, tsundere, hot-tempered stray x Overly scheming, gentle big stray]

Lihua used to be a stray tabby who ruled Jin City. After an accident, he became the uncrowned king of the underground district: Lihua.

And his legendary underlings, said to be small but mighty and feared by birds of prey and wolves...

Lihua looked around.

An orange cat stuffing its face.

A tuxedo cat fighting a tree stump.

A gentle, quiet tortoiseshell.

A snow-white lion cat, cold as frost...

Lihua: ...Well, at least it's familiar. No big deal.

Lihua adapted just fine.

Until one day, at an auction, he heard the merchandise was a beautifully featured two-legged creature.

At first, Lihua was bored. Then he saw the two-legged creature lying in the cage, barely alive, with no telling whether he would survive.

Lihua: ?!

It was just a two-legged creature, and Lihua had seen plenty of those. But that face...

...looked exactly like the two-legged creature he'd picked up in his previous life.

Liang Jiaoshou had suffered through a miserable life. Framed and sold to the Beastfolk Kingdom, he was already covered in wounds.

Lying on the cold floor and hearing the bids rise around him, Liang Jiaoshou was overcome with despair.

His distress drained what little life force he had left, and his body grew colder by the moment.

After a while, he heard a bold, vibrant voice filled with a warmth he'd never felt before.

"He's under my protection."

From then on, that person never once broke his word.
