Chapter 361: Zhang Jie! That thing is your corpse chunk!

Inside the bubble, the two crying emoticon packs and Blue Sapphire's expression right now directly matched.

Blue Sapphire forgot many things; the only thing she didn't forget was that final promise with Zhang Jie.

Zhang Jie felt a moment of daze, and only then did he recall a promise he had made offhandedly before.

At that time, he never imagined he wouldn't be able to come back.

At that time, he had already stood at the pinnacle of the world; being a bit proud and arrogant was normal.

So, back then he never thought he would die there, and that casually made promise wasn't always on his mind.

"So.... Blue Sapphire just remembered it for an entire era like that?"

Zhang Jie's heart was shocked, and his thoughtful appearance, in Blue Sapphire's eyes, was something to be considered.

Blue Sapphire wailed and burst into tears; the black bubble above her head kept changing its text.

"Knight Sir! You clearly said you'd wait for the cat to come back! (Heartbroken)"

"Knight Sir doesn't keep his word! If you don't want the cat, why deceive it..... (crying)"

Blue Sapphire punched Zhang Jie's belly twice, then pressed her face against his stomach, and the bubble rose from her head.

"Even if the Knight Sir doesn't want me, the cat will cling to you forever!!!"

Zhang Jie:?

He just spaced out for a moment, less than two seconds, and this little cat already imagined all that?

Truly powerful imagination....

Lin Ran over there was already numb; although this little guy looks cute and isn't much of a threat, he's still an unstable factor, so she has to think of something to do.

Lin Ran's brain started racing, while on the other side Zhang Jie reached out to pet the cat's head.

"What are you thinking? When did I ever say I don't want you?"

"Really?"

Bubbles continued to appear on Blue Sapphire's head, but her pitiful expression remained.

"It's really nice to see you again, Blue Sapphire..."

Zhang Jie silently said in his heart, looking into Blue Sapphire's eyes, responding with utmost sincerity.

"Blue Sapphire, as a knight, I will never abandon my companion no matter what."

"No matter if you're poor or noble, no matter what you become, no matter what you turn into, even if it's a natural disaster, I will not abandon you."

Hearing Zhang Jie's earnest words, Blue Sapphire suddenly froze.

Her round, clear blue eyes just stared at Zhang Jie.

Whether it was due to Zhang Jie's solemn attitude or because the phrase "no matter what you become" struck her inner pain, we saw Blue Sapphire's clear blue eyes shimmer, and crystal tears spilled out.

"Wuu wuu wuu~ Knight Sir! (???????????)"

"Don't deceive the cat anymore! The cat won't be fooled!"

"Of course, this promise will remain effective forever."

Zhang Jie stroked the constantly swaying cat ears and smiled.

"Forever? How long exactly is that?"

"A very long time... until the entire universe reaches complete heat death..."

"What is heat death? Blue Sapphire doesn't understand, but she knows it must be an extremely long time."

"Cat.... do you no longer have to be a stray cat?"

"You don't have to wander the universe as a stray cat anymore, do you?"

"Of course."

"From now on... this place is your home, Blue Sapphire."

"Knight Sir!!! Wah!!!?? o·(????????????)? o·?"

After Blue Sapphire's bout of wailing, she finally became hungry.

"Knight Sir~ I'm hungry...."

Blue Sapphire blinked her eyes, looking pleadingly at Zhang Jie; the bubbles above her head accompanied by her stomach's gurgling sounds all proved one thing.

It's time for a meal.....

Since the kitten is hungry, Zhang Jie naturally couldn't let her starve; the Alliance's gene technology isn't only reflected in gene soldiers—farming and breeding are also indispensable aspects of the gene side.

And after that, Zhang Jie and Lin Ran finally witnessed what a planetary-level disaster's appetite is....

"Zhang Jie......."

"This little thing... can eat way too much!"

"Cough...."

Being able to eat is Blue Sapphire's standard equipment; you should know, this cat once gave countless buffet owners a lesson.

Meanwhile, Blue Sapphire over there kept stuffing food into her mouth big mouthfuls, meowing while she ate.

"What is this! It's too delicious!"

"I finally... I finally got to eat again!!!"

In that past era, Blue Sapphire survived by nibbling on weird things—scalding stellar cores, unpalatable stellar skins, and even gas giants that were as if uneaten...

Blue Sapphire vowed! She would eat until her jaw dislocated!

Zhang Jie and Lin Ran were already full; looking at the dwindling food across from them, they could only keep ordering more.

At that moment, Lin Ran furtively poked Zhang Jie's waist and began whispering.

"Zhang Jie, she can eat so much.... won't that cause any problems?"

Zhang Jie blinked, then amusedly leaned close to Lin Ran's ear and explained Blue Sapphire's life-stealing ability.

"Whether it's money or a dog's life, this little thing can steal it."

"!"

"That wouldn't be...?"

Lin Ran was shocked by the sapphire's ability, yet also felt a bit worried.

"If she can steal anything...."

"She wouldn't steal your heart, would she?"

"Pfft...."

Zhang Jie choked on a sip, thinking Lin Ran was about to say something earth-shattering, but who knew it was just this?

He couldn't understand Lin Ran's train of thought....

"Hmph, forget it, just a little cat; even as the mighty League Empress, I don't think she could steal you away!"

Lin Ran, this blockhead, even turned tsundere; compared to the cute catgirl, her cuteness is not lacking.

Meanwhile, the sapphire somehow thought of something, suddenly let out a loud meow, drawing both of their gazes.

"Sapphire, what's wrong?"

"Knight Sir! I seem to have another Knight Sir here!"

"???"

Under Zhang Jie's utterly doubtful gaze, the sapphire heaved and jumped down from the chair, then its small body shook with a clatter, producing a tinkling-clanking sound.

"This is......"

Lin Ran looked at the large chunks of Spirit Energy Crystal continually falling from the sapphire and exclaimed in surprise.

"You little brat! How do you still have this stuff!"

And Zhang Jie, seeing her shocked expression, looked at Lin Ran doubtfully.

"Do you know what this is?"

Zhang Jie picked up a piece and examined it closely; this seems to be an extremely pure, high-concentration Spirit Energy Crystal—why did the sapphire bring this out?

And the next moment, he was thunderstruck by Lin Ran's words.

"Zhang Jie! This thing is your corpse chunk!"
