Married a Big Cat After Transmigrating to the Interstellar Era – CH42

Chapter 42

Shi Xiaowang observed for a while. This dog, aside from being greedy, really didn’t have any other issues. After all, since he planned to adopt him, he still needed to tell Jian Mo, in case he came back one day and mistakenly threw him out thinking he was a stray.

—But according to Uncle Ye, this dog should have a home. Maybe the family was busy and didn’t manage him well, so he ran off on his own. Perhaps one day his family would come looking for him. Should I even give him a name?

Shi Xiaowang lay on top of Jian Da Meow and sent a message to Jian Mo.

The big dog nearby watched them gossip back and forth. After a while, it nervously walked over to Jian Da Meow, seeming like it wanted to say something, but a single glance from the lion froze it in place.

Shi Xiaowang patted the lion’s head.

“Don’t scare him, Jian Da Meow.”

Jian Da Meow glanced at the dog, which wagged its tail immediately after being defended, feeling a bit sorry for Shi Zhang.

After all these years, his brother was still so naive.

[What’s the point of naming him? He probably won’t stay long anyway.]

Shi Xiaowang thought about it. True, if one day the owner came looking, he’d have to return him. Giving him a name would make him feel like he truly belonged, and it would be harder to let him go.

[Then just “Doggy,”]

“Come here, Doggy!”

Shi Xiaowang waved at the dog sniffing the flowers nearby. The dog sneezed, then wagging its tail, ran over to Shi Xiaowang’s side.

“Good boy!”

Shi Xiaowang laughed and ruffled the dog’s head.

“From now on, you’ll live here. Don’t fight with Da Meow, and don’t destroy the house. Got it?”

The dog jumped excitedly in place.

“Woof!”

“Ah, so good!”

Shi Xiaowang hugged his neck and rubbed the fur on his back.

The dog rested its head on Shi Xiaowang’s shoulder and, looking at the expressionless Jian Da Meow, grinned a silly, flattering smile.

Jian Da Meow wasn’t very interested in him.

But whether he liked it or not, Shi Yue was now living in the Marshal’s mansion.

Originally, Shi Xiaowang had planned to set up a temporary doghouse for him on the first floor of the greenhouse, but Uncle Ye brought him back to the main residence and even prepared a room for him to live in.

[So Uncle Ye likes dogs.]

Shi Xiaowang couldn’t help gossiping with Jian Mo.

“That’s not really it. Uncle Ye is just used to treating him like a person,” Jian Mo replied.

[Hmm, indeed.]

Dogs usually have more energy than cats, especially adolescent ones like this.

When Jian Da Meow woke up in the morning, no one was in his arms.

Outside the greenhouse, a person and a dog could be heard playing happily on the lawn.

Jian Da Meow stood at the bedroom window, expressionless, watching for a while before going downstairs.

The two seemed to be having a lot of fun, though he didn’t understand the appeal of running back and forth in a chase.

Jian Da Meow stood still for a while—nobody cared.

Shi Xiaowang rubbed the dog’s head that had bit his clothes, smiling.

“Good boy!”

The dog happily barked in response and, once Shi Xiaowang ran ahead, resumed chasing him.

Jian Da Meow walked a few steps further—still ignored.

He paused, then walked on.

The person and dog ran around a tree three or four times, and suddenly the dog turned and pounced directly on Shi Xiaowang.

“Oh wow, so smart!”

Shi Xiaowang was knocked to the ground, laughing as he pinched the dog’s face.

The joy and affection from Shi Xiaowang were unmatched—no one in the palace praised him like this. If he dared to frolic like this in the palace, his brother would probably beat him.

Indeed, younger siblings are the cutest!

The dog seemed extremely excited.

So excited that it almost forgot who it was.

Its tail spun like a propeller, barking twice, lowering its head as if to lick his face.

Suddenly, a kingly roar erupted, echoing through the entire Marshal’s mansion.

The sound seemed right next to their ears. Both person and dog almost froze in shock.

Looking up, the lion was staring down at them, cold and imposing.

Shi Xiaowang widened his eyes.

Wow, no wonder he’s our Da Meow—so majestic!

Shi Yue also looked at the lion, terrified.

Oh no, he’s so fierce! He looks like he wants to eat me!

Just as Shi Xiaowang sat up, the dog dove into his arms, tail tucked, whining.

Oh no, little brother! Your “husband” is going to kill me! Save me!

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

Although he didn’t understand the whining, Shi Xiaowang petted the dog while discussing with Jian Da Meow.

“Big Da Meow, your roar was really cool, but next time keep it quieter, you’ll scare your doggy brother.”

Praise first, then discuss, so Da Meow wouldn’t feel unloved.

Being in a two-child household isn’t easy.

Jian Da Meow: …I don’t have such a dog-like brother.

The dog stayed in Shi Xiaowang’s arms for a long time. Jian Da Meow walked past leisurely and casually swished his tail, hitting the dog’s behind.

The dog yelped, jumping up, frightened and aggrieved, looking at Jian Da Meow.

“What now?”

Shi Xiaowang didn’t understand.

The dog kept whining, seemingly accusing Jian Da Meow.

But Jian Da Meow tilted his head innocently at Shi Xiaowang, as if nothing had happened.

Oblivious, Shi Xiaowang ruffled the dog’s head, choosing to trust his big cat.

“Alright, alright, don’t scare yourself. Da Meow didn’t bite you.”

He didn’t bite me, but he swished me!

The dog almost spoke human words in panic but was cut off by Jian Da Meow’s casual, warning glance.

The dog immediately lost morale and started whining again.

Older brothers really are no good! Always bullying the little ones!

Thinking he was still scared, Shi Xiaowang sighed, kissed the dog’s head, and hugged him.

“So timid, huh? It’s okay, I’m here. He won’t bully you.”

The dog rested his head on Shi Xiaowang’s shoulder, facing Jian Da Meow.

Jian Da Meow ignored him, scowling at Shi Xiaowang, clearly displeased.

Hmm?

The dog thought for a moment.

Oh~ got it~

It rubbed back into Shi Xiaowang’s face, inevitably meeting Jian Da Meow’s death stare.

The dog wagged its tail, baring its teeth in a mischievous grin.

Hehe, jealous?

Can’t help it, my brother protects me like this~

Jian Mo squinted and walked away, messaging Shi Zhang as he went:

[Take your brother away. If you don’t, I’m afraid I’ll accidentally kill him.]

Shi Zhang immediately replied:

[Thanks for handling it. Go ahead and kill him, thanks.]

Jian Mo: …

After the great battle over a decade ago, the Zerg was heavily damaged and didn’t invade for a long time. They enjoyed five peaceful years.

The Emperor and Grandpa Meng Zhan, then the director of the Research Institute, just threw their sons and grandsons to the old Marshal, under the pretense of giving them some experience.

Among them, the one most afraid of the old Marshal was Shi Yue. Small and naive, he cried every day, asking the Marshal if he was going to rebel and lock them up. The Marshal laughed heartily and deliberately scared him, almost making the child autistic.

He was eager to fight on the battlefield for his parents’ revenge. Shi Zhang, as the eldest prince, was disciplined and ambitious from a young age. Only Meng Zhan and Second Prince Shi Xiao could coax and pamper him, entertaining him. Ironically, the playful little prince awakened the spirit of the royal snow wolf.

But despite the snow wolf’s imposing aura, paired with his clear, silly eyes, he looked like a goofy husky.

At first, Shi Zhang had high hopes for his brother, but eventually, all that remained was frustration at his lack of discipline.

If only it were his brother…

Outside the greenhouse, Shi Xiaowang somehow found a ball. The moment he threw it, the snow wolf dashed after it, barking excitedly.

Jian Mo looked away—thankfully, it wasn’t his brother.

Shi Xiaowang noticed that Jian Da Meow had recently been daydreaming a lot.

“Look, daydreaming again.”

He and the dog crouched at the stair corner, watching Jian Da Meow staring out the window.

“Your big brother Da Meow must have something on his mind.”

Though Jian Da Meow had always been lazy, he usually just slept. He’d never stared blankly at one spot like this.

If you ask him, he won’t say. He just paws Shi Xiaowang into his arms, surrounded by fluff, and soon lulls Shi Xiaowang to sleep first.

Kids grow up and start keeping secrets from their parents.

Shi Xiaowang sighed and petted the dog.

“No playing outside today. Let’s stay and keep your big brother Da Meow company.”

The dog softly barked in agreement.

Hearing footsteps, the lion’s ears twitched, turning back.

Shi Xiaowang smiled at him, stroking his fur.

“How about some barbecue tonight?”

A trace of a smile appeared in Jian Da Meow’s eyes. He swished his tail and rubbed against Shi Xiaowang.

Suddenly, a dog’s head appeared, looking quite concerned.

[Brother Jian Mo, what’s wrong? Something on your mind?]

Shi Yue messaged directly.

Jian Mo glanced at him, hesitated two seconds.

[Nothing, just play.]

Shi Yue frowned.

That “hesitant” tone meant something was definitely wrong.

Shi Yue never kept things bottled up, so he started shaking the group chat of the three of them.

[Brother Jian Mo seems to have something on his mind, but he won’t tell me. You older brothers never trust me, especially Big Brother and Brother Jian Mo.]

He complained while speaking, so those two weren’t in the chat.

[Hmm? What could he possibly be worried about? He’s so chill, almost immortal.]

His second brother Shi Xiao chimed in.

[That was before. Now he has a wife.]

Meng Zhan added:

[Hmm… a romantic issue?]

Shi Xiao perked up.

[Explain.]

[Huh? Doesn’t involve Xiaowang, right? Xiaowang knows nothing. Xiaowang just noticed he’s been daydreaming, so I paid attention.]

Shi Yue explained.

But the two older brothers seemed to ignore him.

[Two nights ago, the night of the palace banquet, he told me he suddenly became a spiritual body again, asked me what was going on. Xiaowang was drunk that night…]

[Oh… but Xiaowang doesn’t know the lion is Jian Mo. So you mean…]

They each sent a mischievous smile, forming a gossip alliance.

[What? How does this relate to Brother Jian Mo daydreaming? Even if Xiaowang vomited on him that day, it’s been days. He wouldn’t still be mad, right? He’s not Big Brother, not so petty.]

Shi Yue felt anxious, clearly knowing everything yet feeling left out.

[Nothing, just play.]

Shi Xiao finally replied, then added Jian Mo to the group.

[Heard you’re worried about something. What’s going on? Spill it.]

Shi Xiao: “Spill it.”

Meng Zhan: “Spill it.”

The dog wagged its tail, eyes sparkling with excitement.

[Spill it.]

[Oh, forgot about you. Kids go play, the older brothers have something to discuss.]

Then Shi Yue realized he was kicked out.

Shi Yue: ???

He created this group in the first place!

The dog jumped up, barking angrily and cursing.

Shi Xiaowang and Jian Da Meow looked at him calmly.

One was used to his sudden outbursts.

One knew he wasn’t cursing them.

Shi Xiaowang held a grape.

“Want some?”

Eat!

The dog didn’t hesitate for a second, biting it instantly.

No more barking.
