Chapter 261

Ye Li was very refreshed, just breathing in the faint scent of green plants felt quite nice.

During this time, the ecological zone also tried to introduce alien animals and plants to add some interesting concepts.

Ye Li hadn't been strolling for long before he appreciated many strange and dreamy plants.

And behind a rustling bush, a cluster of pink fur suddenly popped up—

A round, strange alien animal hopped out.

Its appearance was like a pink rabbit, but much rounder, looking extremely cute.

It was no wonder Gwen and the others chose this creature to throw into the ecological zone.

These little things had always been managed by them and Vinika.

Only.

Ye Li watched this adorably silly "round rabbit" with interest for a short while.

A small orange cat with smooth, bright fur gently stepped with its little paws and approached the round rabbit from behind.

[Hmm...? There's an orange cat too?] Ye Li found it a bit strange... how come this orange cat wasn't fat at all...

Soon.

He understood the answer—

Sula!~!—!

After the orange cat approached the round rabbit, it suddenly opened its cat mouth, and a mass of tentacles with sharp teeth lunged over!

Woah~~!

In just the blink of an eye, this alien-like chrysanthemum-sized mouth swallowed the pink ball in one gulp...

"Aha...?"

Ye Li looked surprised: [Holy crap!... Isn't this a Flerken? Who caught it back?]

He said how come this orange cat was so thin... it swallowed everything into its dimensional pocket, how could it not be thin...

But the problem is... where did this cat come from?

Ye Li could still see from afar that the Flerken was wearing a small collar around its neck...

He didn't know if Gwen and the others put it on; it looked too much like the one Captain Marvel had...?

Just as Ye Li was guessing how this cat snuck on board.

The Flerken had already turned its head, looking for the next target.

However.

It hadn't even taken a few steps—

Hu~.

A slender but huge palm reached through the top of the tree canopy, pinched it with two fingers, and lifted it up.

"Eh?"

Galacta pinched the Flerken in front of her to examine it, "It's been raised for a while, why hasn't it grown fat yet...?"

Her current figure was maintained at a rather large level, and the snow-white weapons looked very eye-catching.

Ye Li clicked his tongue secretly... as expected of a sub-cosmic entity, it really looked magnificent...

If Galacta released her full size, she would probably be as big as the Earth, right...

"Forget it, why don't I just eat it~"

The purple-eyed girl opened her cherry lips and was about to stuff the Flerken in her hand into her mouth—

"Ah—!"

"Wait!" Ye Li called out to stop her.

At the same time, the orange cat flashed, and he grabbed it by the scruff of its neck.

"What's wrong, this is clearly a monster, why won't you let me eat it?"

Galacta was very unhappy with Ye Li snatching her food.

Ye Li narrowed his eyes...

Other things were eaten by the Flerken, but Galacta was eating the Flerken directly; that's truly awesome...

Ye Li: "Where did you get this thing?"

"Hmm—"

Galacta put her slender finger on her soft lips and said, "I caught it. I saw it had quite a lot of energy in its body, so I caught it back to raise, but it's a pity it never grew fat... so I might as well just eat it~"

Ye Li: "Are you sure this thing is wild?"

"Yeah, I caught it in an asteroid belt, it must be wild, give it back to me quickly."

Galacta shrank her figure, floated in front of Ye Li, and reached out to snatch it back—

Ye Li retracted his hand, avoiding her grasp, and pointed his other finger at the Flerken's neck, asking, "Do you also like putting collars on your food?"

Galacta: "No."

Ye Li gave a deadpan look: "Then where did this on its neck come from?"

Galacta: "Eh... right... where did it come from?"

Ye Li: ".......You tell me, is there a possibility that you caught someone else's pet."

"Oh—seems like it..."

Galacta looked at the collar on the Flerken's neck and felt a bit embarrassed, "How about we eat it secretly..."

Ye Li: "?......."

....Ten minutes later.

"Wow~ is it also a cat?"

Gatomon climbed onto Felicia's head and tentatively let out a sound at the Flerken being watched by everyone, "Meow~"

"Meow~" The Flerken opened its mouth and yawned.

"It looks just like an ordinary cat, Li, did you make a mistake?"

Saying that, Felicia reached out and wanted to pet this cute orange cat~

Ye Li grabbed her slender wrist, "Be careful, this little guy is quite dangerous."

"Hmm?" Felicia tilted her head in confusion.

Seeing that she didn't quite believe him, Ye Li gave Galacta a look—

"En~—" Galacta pouted slightly, looking unhappy.

"Hurry up, don't be so stingy, I'll give you candy later."

Ye Li said that,

and Galacta then threw a "delicious" alien monster she had been saving to the Flerken—

Sula!~!

The Flerken immediately spat out its chrysanthemum-sized mouth again and swallowed the clawing monster in one gulp!

Awoo~!

"Ah!"

Felicia and the other girls were slightly startled, looking with amazement at the big orange cat that had returned to normal...

"Alien creatures are really interesting..." Susan developed a bit of interest in research.

"This seems... indeed a bit dangerous..." Cindy suggested, "How about... we send it away?"

Galacta blinked at Ye Li, "Do you want me to send it back to the asteroid belt where I found it?"

"Hmm... let's do this..."

Ye Li picked up the small tag on the orange cat's neck to examine it and pondered, "There is a tracking device on its collar. I'll have Vinika disable the signal shielding for this collar and let its owner find it themselves..."

There was English on this tag, which made him basically certain that this Flerken should be the one belonging to Captain Marvel.

Seeing that she didn't have to do the work, Galacta smiled and agreed, "That's a good idea~"

"Before that, you, the culprit, are responsible for looking after it."

Ye Li tossed the orange cat to her, "Don't eat it secretly."
