The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Mino snorted and rubbed his nose in annoyance. "If I find out who it is, I'll definitely break your legs."

As soon as he finished speaking, "Miku," who was inside the temple, frowned, his eyes gradually turning hostile, and the divine light around him began to flicker.

What are you doing here?

Miko asked cautiously, and "Miku" waved his hand: "Don't worry about it, it's just that brat acting up again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck Mino, who was in the Ghost World of Lutang City, and hit him on the head.

"Boom!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Mino, whose once majestic platinum-gold fur had instantly turned jet black, opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of black smoke: "Damn old man, you're ruthless!"

.........

Inside the main hall.

“Alright, let’s continue our talk, little one!” Miku stroked the little cutie’s back and said with a smile, “Also, let’s not be so formal, you can call me father!”

"Father?"

"That's right, that's exactly it!"

Miku's smile deepened. "That's a good boy now. So, what else do you want to know?"

"What exactly is this 'pioneer' you're talking about? Why do you call me a pioneer? And what does it mean to succeed you?"

When Miko noticed the other person's somewhat displeased expression while asking about the exit, she quickly added:

"Father."

"This is actually a plan that your father and I devised. I won't tell you the specific purpose of the plan."

But I can tell you that pioneers are those who pave the way forward, forging a future for their people and paving the way for those who come after.

"In contrast, there are the successors, who are responsible for guarding the rear and protecting the tribe."

"As for succession, the current pioneer is your father. Your father traveled to many worlds and paved the way for us, while I am the successor of the first generation, and my duty is to guard the rear."

“You and my son are the pioneers and inheritors of the next generation. When we grow old, you will have to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities.”

"Oh, I see!"

Miko slowly processed the information Miku had given him, while Miku remained unhurried, simply watching him intently.

At the same time.

Outside, on the rooftop of a certain JD.com building.

"Thank you so much for taking care of the two little ones, Shi and Haidong!"

"It's nothing, I'm just curious, what exactly are you plotting?" Wang Xiaoming looked up at the nearly three-meter-tall "Miku". "Ever since you left the world of Gaim, Miku has been acting strangely. I have some guesses, but these things should be asked of you directly!"

"We are merely preserving the flame, conserving our strength to face future disasters!"

"Future disasters?"

“That’s right.” Miku nodded slowly. “But I can’t say too much, or that guy will notice!”

"Hmph, I won't ask you what your specific plans are, but I hope you won't go too far!"

"I don't want to see the whole world fall into chaos like last time!"

"Don't worry, don't worry!"

Miku smiled and agreed, giving an "OK" sign. Seeing this, Wang Xiaoming's expression softened: "So what do you plan to do with those two children?"

"I'm already talking to Miko, so you don't need to worry!"

Miku's figure slowly faded into the air and disappeared without a trace.

"Tsk, this bastard actually used a clone to meet us." Hai Dong clicked his tongue. Wang Xiaoming didn't reply, but instead looked up at the sky.

"I'm more concerned about the future disaster he's talking about than this!"

.........

"So that's how it is. This is my destiny!"

Miko, clenching her fists, looked up, but before she could speak, "Miku" covered her mouth with a finger, saying, "You've asked me so many questions, now it's my turn to ask you!"

"Xiao Ke, why are you treating Xiao Ai like this?"

"I hope you can give me an answer."

The little cutie raised her head at the right moment, looked at her brother, and her eyes were devoid of any emotion.

"Oh, you mean this!" Miko stroked the handle of the signal tomahawk beside him. "As the eldest son in the family, I take responsibility for supporting the whole family, but Xiao Ai's personality is too extreme, so..."

"So you're planning to be the bad guy yourself in exchange for Xiao Ai's growth?"

Miku chuckled: "No wonder he's his son, they think the same way."

I'd rather be the bad guy myself than let my child suffer in the future.

“As the saying goes, like father, like son!” Miko sneered.

Just then, the space beside them cracked open, and a deep voice came from within: "Half a body, that's enough!"

"Stop this!"

"Father!"

Miko recognized the voice and looked over, but could only see a chaotic void behind the spatial rift.

"Hey, son!"

"Now I've become a responsible and real man!"

Where did you go?

"Why won't you come to see us?"

"Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters," Miku said calmly, then turned to the little cutie and said, "I'm sorry, my dear. Don't hold it against me!"

"dad...."

The little cutie, who was whispering softly, had tears welling up in her eyes.

"Half-body, end all of this quickly. Seal their memories; they know these things far too early!"

"You really are heartless!"

"Get to work quickly!"

"Say another word, and I'll throw your son into the latrine!"

After saying this, the spatial rift closed, and Miku disappeared.

"Father!!"

“I’m sorry, child!” Miku raised his hand. “You heard it too, I’m going to seal your memories.”

"no, you can not."

"I finally got news of my father, how can I go back to the way things were before?"

"stop!"

Miko, who was holding a battle axe, caught the eye of "Miku," and a hint of approval appeared in "Miku's" eyes.

"Don't hate me, my child!"

"Shh!"

Light overflowed, filling the entire hall.

Chapter 56: Ai's Last Trump Card!

Lutang City.

"Hey, kid. Which Eye Souls are you planning to choose as your subjects?"

The First Emperor's soul, floating above Mino's head, kept expanding and contracting its pupils. Overlooking the entire city, it asked a question. Mino squatted on the edge of the rooftop, deep in thought.

Miku and his fellow villagers are used to finding high places to overlook the entire city, perhaps it's their nature, or perhaps it's human nature.

However, climbing to a high vantage point and looking down has become an inescapable habit for them.

"It's still unclear, but I will choose the strongest Eye Soul as my vassal!"

Mino spoke in a flat tone, his eyes devoid of any emotion, but the charred fur on his face greatly diminished his appearance.

"The strongest, huh? You're really greedy!"

The First Emperor glanced at the arrogant Mino with a hint of mockery. Having once commanded his subjects and ruled a dynasty, he naturally knew that it was not the case that the stronger the subjects, the better, but rather that they should complement each other in terms of ability and talent.

Only in this way can one perfectly assist the monarch.

The concept of "ruler, minister, assistant, and messenger" in traditional Chinese medicine is not just an empty phrase. Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish; the monarch, ministers, assistants, and messengers must cooperate and check each other.

Only in this way can each person's abilities be maximized.

Mino's thinking was too narrow; he only knew to choose the strongest, not realizing that the stronger beings are, the less they can coexist.

It's better to choose something that complements your own abilities based on your strengths and characteristics.

"Hey, the strongest one..."

With a low chuckle, the First Emperor's soul fell silent, letting Mino carry him off the rooftop.

Unbeknownst to the First Emperor, Mino was also plotting her own scheme.

"My father said that the Eye Souls from the East are the strongest. No matter what, we must choose the Eye Souls from the East and not even glance at the Eye Souls from the West!"

"In that case, I'll choose the eye soul that best suits my personality!"

After several rises and falls and disappearances in the city, Mino begins to search for his Eastern Eye Soul.

One-bedroom apartment.

Miku closed the spatial rift, his expression extremely complex.
