A Young Woman's Heart

Even smaller dogs shouldn't compete with cats of the same size.

Especially in some aspects, cats are definitely no match for dogs.

"This is absolutely a flaw and a loophole in the rules," I said righteously. "It's unfair! Why should a dog, who thinks it's a cat, be allowed to compete with cats? It hasn't even undergone genetic modification surgery to become a cat!"

The reporter quietly withdrew.

I then went on to answer other people's questions.

Some of them have nothing to do with the competition.

However, just as the reporter left, my strategist cat, who had been my ally for many years, darted over.

"The Great Emperor!"

"What's wrong?" I've always been casual with this confidant.

"The news is out!"

"what?"

It removed its 24k titanium alloy dog ​​eye and projected the latest news.

Inside, I was standing solemnly, answering reporters' questions.

But I didn't hear my voice; only the narrator was talking about it.

"The emperor of the Sugar Empire publicly opposed this, claiming that he utterly despised the group, believing that cats should be cats and dogs should be dogs. His understanding is extremely narrow and does not conform to the spirit of equality and coexistence in the world..."

“Your mother…” I abruptly swallowed my words, “What equality and coexistence? Didn’t she almost kill all the black cats in her territory before?”

"Now many new breeds of black cats have been bred."

"You mean those cats that look like monkeys?" I rolled my eyes, resisting the urge to tear that damned reporter to shreds. "There are just too many countries in this world. Someday I'll unify them all, and then they'll all have to listen to me!"

"Your Majesty! This is truly a magnificent plan!"

"Alright, alright, we've been together for so long, stop flattering me, okay?" I glared at it irritably. "When are you going to get rid of that damn thing, what was it again, that damn Doraemon killer?"

“Great Emperor, the progress is a bit slow, but rest assured, everything is going according to plan.”

"What generation are we in now?"

"Number 799... We are very close to success."

You've almost used up all my dried fish...

I muttered to myself and glanced downstairs.

My cabinet minister, Haruka, hasn't been back lately, so I've been forced to use my own fish.

"Alright, alright, have all the athletes we sent arrived?"

"Your Majesty, this is the second matter. They have all arrived, but they currently have no place to stay. The Moon Mountain Empire has arranged for us to stay in the sewers."

"What?" I raised an eyebrow. "No matter what, we are the Great Crispy Candy Empire! And they actually arranged for us to go to a place like that!"

"After all, we were the last ones to arrive..."

"Contact Miss Milk Candy and ask her to invite Mr. Black Emperor over."

"Your Majesty, could it be...?"

"Heh, go and get ready. We still have spots available, right?"

"of course."

"Report it up, saying that Mr. Black King is a big dog who wants to be a kitten. Although he hasn't undergone genetic modification, he already has the heart of a kitten."

"Will Mr. Black Emperor agree to this?"

"Don't worry, leave it to me." I nodded confidently, twitching my beard smugly. "Since they're going to create these rules, we can take advantage of them too. I'm going to sweep half of the gold medals in these 91 events!"

"Your Majesty, aren't we going too far?"

"Ha, don't worry. By the way, gather more soldiers to guard the border, just in case. If we can get an excuse, that would be perfect. After all, the Moon Mountain Empire is nearby. If we swallow it up, our territory will double in size."

"The Emperor is wise!"

The night was as dark as mud.

I lay on the concrete floor, loosened my paws, and leisurely thought about where Xiaoyao had gone.

It's said to be quite far away.

Once I've conquered that place, I can openly patrol it.

"Splash—"

The roller shutter door of the fruit shop—no, the palace—was pulled down.

The parents of the cabinet ministers came out; I have appointed them as chief stewards.

My job is to clean up after me every day.

It seems it's getting late.

I glanced to the side and saw three or four new cats excitedly darting out.

"Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"Hmm, don't be shy. Tonight, the job of catching mice is yours." I flicked my tail at the cheek of the tabby cat next to me. "And who's going to serve me tonight?"

Finally, a shy little orange kitten that looked to be only eight months old came over.

"Tsk, isn't this one too small?"

"Your Majesty...please...please don't despise me..."

The moon quietly peeked out from behind the clouds.

I squinted.

Who is your mother?

"I, I, I..." it stammered, unable to speak.

"Say it."

"she……"

"she?"

"Guiyue..."

"It really was her." I walked angrily to its side. "Then you should be my daughter!"

"Yes, yes..."

"Damn it..."

I started to think about whether I should bestow upon her the title of imperial concubine.

As an emperor, it's perfectly normal for me to have several concubines.

Uh, but the cabinet ministers never liked me bringing concubines home.

Ugh.

Even an emperor cannot do whatever he wants.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Loli and Big Dog

A large brown and white dog ran wildly along the gravel path in the mountains.

Every single hair on its body was incredibly fluffy.

The sunlight shone on the moon, which sat on its back.

Black hair cascades down like a waterfall, impervious to even the intense light; the light seems to be absorbed, only making it shine even darker.

Taiyin's delicate, doll-like face remained expressionless, except for a slight ripple in her deep, dark eyes, which were as deep as an ancient well.

The wind blew through her hair, seemingly carrying with it her scattered thoughts.

Once you get used to it, there's really nothing to be afraid of about this big dog.

It is so docile that you can pet it at will, and it won't bar its teeth even if you accidentally hurt it.

The island is really not big.

In no time, they had run a lap around the foot of the mountain.

Mo Xueyao and Cha Li were quite tired from chasing each other; their legs were weak and they were sweating profusely from the sun.

His clothes were soaking wet; anyone who didn't know better would think he'd already gone for a swim in the sea.

Ye Ran went up the mountain towards the school halfway, leaving only the big dog to keep Taiyin company.

She seems more like the dog's owner...

Mo Xueyao and Cha Li finally arrived at their destination, which they had wanted to reach when they descended the mountain that morning.

seaside.

Because few boats pass through this area, the seawater and beach are very clean. The shallow water is a translucent sky blue, so clear it looks like flowing glass.

Near the rock face, there was a small patch of golden sand. The big dog pounced over, then nimbly shrunk away, slipping out from under Taiyin and rolling around in the sand like a kitten.

The sea was calm today, and there were even people fishing on the large reefs far from the shore.

In the distance, the sound of a ship's horn can be heard.

The coal-fired fishing boats, billowing black smoke, bobbed gently up and down in the sea.

On the pebble beach, a few middle-aged women were drying fish on the rocks.

Several children were running around here when one of them tripped and fell to the ground, scraping his knee. The adults rushed over to check on him, but the children just washed it with seawater and then continued running around as if nothing had happened.

"Splash—" The waves crashed onto the golden sand, making the big dog rolling on the ground drink a mouthful of water. It quickly got up, shook its head vigorously, and its wide tongue rolled around its mouth like a rag. Its eyelids rolled upwards, as if it was still savoring the salty taste of the sea.

There are many rocks along the beach.
