Chapter 11
This also led to several consecutive days of arguments in the Academy of Sciences.
Everyone simply wanted to grab their heads in order to get the quota.
Shen Tongs daily routine consisted of nothing more than sunbathing, watering, sleeping, adding a new project, listening to a few people in the lab expose each other, and trying to dissuade their competitors.
Dai Li was merciless and said, What capital star are you two going to? Who doesnt know that when His Majesty visited Titan last year, you two were so scared that you could barely maintain your human form?
Ya Bo countered her, Fear of His Majesty is not inconsistent with going to the Capitol. Were doing it for catnip, not for him.
Ai Lun chimed in, As much as were afraid, well go, and well see Catnip one more time if we can.
Besides, you had to be present for last years inspection, when His Majestys eyes were so cold-
Ai Lun said palpably, It was like an ice blade.
Ya Bo chimed in, Who isnt afraid of him? Youre not afraid?
Of course, Dai Li was scared, but like Ai Lun said, as scared as she was, she wanted to send catnip off.
She turned her attention to Shen Tong, Hey, do you guys think we should make another shield for the catnip that will keep out the smell and protect it from falling when the nurturing pod is done?
His Majestys mood was less than stable, so Dai Li was worried about what might happen to the catnip in his hands, Its catnip, there must not be an accident.
Her suggestion was met with approval from the two researchers, Yes!
Ai Lun thought, How about the alloy material?
The alloy isnt strong enough. Ya Bo pondered as well, Didnt they come out with a CMI alloy a while back? Thats it.
Honestly, the alloy material was already the strongest material in all of the stars, and because of its scarcity, it was already expensive, and the CMI alloy was an even more enhanced version of it, with a staggering cost, and if the purpose was just to protect a potted plant from being broken, it wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that it was a great material.
But several peoples expressions were very serious, and their concern for catnip was almost spilling over.
This made Shen Tong curious.
Was that ruler, Caesar, really that scary?
And that he was about to be given away to this tyrant?
He had to say goodbye again.
Shen Tong realized this and suddenly became a little homesick.
It was with such thoughts that he went into Caesars spirit world.
The weather was quite nice.
But Shen Tong was not in a good mood.
The last time he got wet and cleaned himself up, he was wearing the clothes that the snow lion had gripped to him, and this time, the clothes were still on him, Shen Tong carefully rolled up his overly long sleeves and went to the garden to look at the only remaining lilies.
It was no longer as sickly as it was last time.
The green was clear and the buds were rounded and bulging, revealing a bright white color.
It was about to bloom.
Shen Tong gently tapped it with his finger.
His finger was very white, long and thin, nails rounded beautifully, the end of the color had a hint of pink, like a thin piece of a clamshell.
He never noticed the snow lion that came to his side.
Caesar waited a full five seconds, then raised his front paws in dissatisfaction.
The pads of flesh touched Shen Tong.
He had a good grip on his strength, it was just a touch, but the discontent at being ignored was conveyed clearly, and Shen Tong finally noticed the big cat.
He pulled the snow lions front paws away, The flowers are going to bloom.
The youth did not start teasing the big cat at the sight of it as usual, but said gently, My home, too, has a garden with many flowers, and it is beautiful when it is in bloom.
His long eyelashes drooped gently, and he still looked like he was bending his eyes and smiling, but the light in his eyes was much dimmer.
Caesar, who had never been fond of such nonsense, lazily lifted his foot to leave but paused as his eyes swept over the youths face, finding his slightly lowered mood.
Shen Tong didnt say another word even after that.
Shen Tong dropped his eyes worriedly but found that the Snow Lion was looking at him thoughtfully.
Kitty. Shen Tong touched the snow lion and asked him hesitantly, Do you know Caesar? Like you, hes also an advanced evolver.
The Snow Lions gaze was quite meaningful, while it passed Shen Tong a questioning look.
Shen Tong didnt think much of it as he cupped the Snow Lions face in his hands and knitted his brows, You must never be someone like Caesar in the future, okay?
Caesar: ?
Shen Tong sighed, Its kind of not good.
As his emotions were out of control and there was no match to reassure him, this monarch always seemed to act with a bit of a tantrum, Shen Tong said to the Snow Lion, Ill do my best to help you control your emotions as well.
Caesar:
He lowered his head and read the contents of the books pages in a single glance.
The snow lion then stood up menacingly and closed the book with one paw, gazing dangerously at the two lines on the cover.
By Stephen Bryan.
An exclusive look at the unimaginable ferocity of Caesars majesty you never knew.
Good.
He didnt need to think about whether he wanted to get along with him in human form anymore.
Caesar had always been murderous, not bothering to explain himself or pay attention to the interstellar rumors about him, but now, he decided that sitting on the sidelines might not be a good idea.
Caesar was upset.
And when he was upset, someone was going to be unlucky.
The Blaine family?
It was about to leave for a stroll to a desert star billions of light-years away.

Same time.
Science Academy.
The Dean was very sad.
With less than a week to go before the Succession Celebration, it was reasonable to say that they should leave the day after tomorrow at the latest.
But the biggest question was, who should be chosen to go to the Capital Star together?
In the past, not to mention going to the capital star to meet his majesty Caesar, just for any activities of the Academy of Sciences to participate in summits or academic exchanges, this group of people were exempted from the mandatory requirements of the academy before they were willing to be present, this time the application for a business trip to the capital star, the entire academy actually signed up without missing a beat!
Including the old guys whod been in their labs for a long time ago.
How to choose, the Dean had no clue.
He wanted to hit the ground with his head, the assistant peeked around a few times, aimed at the thick pile of applications, and came up with an idea, Dean, you should set a few criteria, those that meet can go to Capital Star, and those that dont can forget about it, and you cant be blamed.
The dean pondered, Hey, thats a good idea.
He perked up a bit, thought for a few seconds, took a pen and swished it around, and wrote out three requests-.
1. love catnip.
2. patient with catnip.
3. attentive enough to catnip.
The assistant leaned over and said grudgingly, Dean, theres no one in the entire Academy of Sciences who doesnt meet your three criteria.
The dean had to add another criterion.
4. no stealing catnip.
The assistant has something to say again, Dean, this time we dont have anyone in the labs who fits the bill.
Dean:
He threw the pen away and said angrily, Heres the pen, you write.
