Mi collected all the hair that fell from his father and then took a good rest herself.
So, she threw away the comb, ran to her father, and transformed into a ragdoll cat. She climbed up his big, flowery arm and finally settled on her father's neck, resembling a soft, little cat cake.
She made a purring sound in her throat, and her paws unconsciously wanted to knead, but she found that her paws were weak after just a few kneads.
The cat turned over, revealing a soft belly, and curled up in a U shape, with its tail serving as a small blanket on its belly. It closed its eyes to enjoy the feeling of the warm sun shining on itself and unknowingly fell asleep.
"So, she used the hair she collected to make that little toy?"
Ruan Linzhan was somewhat speechless when he learned the purpose for which the collected hair would be used.
Emotionally, Ruan Fengsi was the first one to have his hair cut.
He considered himself to be quite affable, the most responsible older brother in the whole family. The temperament of the other brothers was not good at all, and they didn't appreciate people getting too close to them, especially in their star-beast state.
Even to his own cousin, Ruan Linzhan didn't think he would let her get too close to him.
On the other hand, Ruan Fengsi, who seemed to have the worst temper, not only allowed the child to approach but also gathered her hair.
Even his own biological younger brother did not receive this treatment.
"What do you mean by collecting hair?" These are the loose hairs that were combed off by Shujun. Have you noticed how much smoother and shinier your younger uncle's hair looks after being combed? "It almost seemed to shine in the sunlight."
Before, the hair was a mix of loose strands that didn't move much in the wind, and it was neither fluffy nor smooth. Now, it looked more beautiful.
Though they didn't care about it, it really looked very comfortable.
Ruan Qingran said, "Ruan Fengsi also mentioned earlier that combing hair is very comfortable."
To hear that guy say such words, he really wanted to experience it.
Ruan Linzhan was a little puzzled. Was it really that good? Then he...
No!
He took a sip of tea and thought that he still couldn't accept that image.
"When will you leave after coming back this time?"
Ruan Linzhan was the commander of the border garrison, so naturally, he had to leave.
"After participating in this year's military exercise, I will have to leave."
It was almost time for the Imperial Beast God Festival, which coincided with National Day. Therefore, there will be a large-scale military exercise this year.
He was recalled as an instructor.
What he didn't expect was that the rebel army would display their strength at such a critical moment, completely provoking them.
When His Majesty and his younger uncle attacked the rebel army's stronghold, they also led a group to exterminate the nest of the insect race.
During this military exercise, it was a critical period for the major legions to select the best candidates from the military academies. Graduating students and outstanding students from various military academies will participate in a points battle, which will be broadcast live nationwide.
The successful legions would offer an olive branch to the students, who would then have the opportunity to choose which legion they wished to join.
"Will Ruan Ling'an also participate this year?"
Ruan Linzhan nodded. "He will."
After finishing his tea, Ruan Linzhan left. He had many tasks awaiting him, and he couldn't afford to spend too much time there.
Ruan Qingran and Ruan He saw the father and daughter sleeping soundly and proceeded to carry out their own tasks.
Ruan Shu slept very comfortably. When she woke up, her eyes hadn't even opened yet, but her paws were already moving.
Yes, the cat began kneading and massaging again.
Massaging the neck of the big tiger, she yawned.
Ruan Xiao also opened his eyes. When he moved his neck slightly, the little one rolled down from the top, but was caught by his tiger's paw.
The cat rolled on the big tiger's broad paw, stood up, stretched, and then continued kneading. However, this time, the spot she kneaded changed to the fleshy pad on the tiger's paw.
After a brief moment of activity, the cat's eyes were fully alert. Tilting her little head, she rubbed her cheek on the palm of her father's hand, then sat down to lick her paws and wash her face.
Suddenly, her field of vision expanded as Ruan Shu tilted her head. It turned out that her father had transformed into a human form.
That's fine.
The cat lay on her father's palm, holding onto it with her little paws.
The cat decided that she wouldn't change back into a human today. She wanted to stick to her father all day. She was so small that her father could easily put her in his pocket and take her wherever he went.
She was most satisfied with her petite stature in this regard.
Ruan Xiao let her be, and after resting, he felt even better. Upon waking up, the first thing he did was attend to the accumulated military affairs.
Ruan Shu obediently acted as her own lucky charm, occasionally rubbing against her father's palm and meowing in a delicate and affectionate manner.
When her father was busy and couldn't pay attention to himself, she behaved well by curling up in his arms, lying down, and not disturbing him.
If her father was tired and wanted to take a short rest, the cat immediately turned into a considerate little cotton jacket, with her soft paws massaging his wrist.
The cat's massage service was the best!
Ruan Xiao lowered his eyes, and his smile became more pronounced. He rubbed the little cat's furry head with his fingers.
"Meow"~"
When her father's video call came in, Shujun immediately transformed into a well-behaved dog, lying quietly on his lap, swaying her tail contentedly.
"Marshal, the document has been decoded." I think you should take a look at those materials yourself.
Upon observing the solemn expression of his adjutant, Ruan Xiao realized that the documents discovered at the rebel army's base likely concealed something significant.
Soon he understood why.
The rebel army was making sacrifices, literally sacrificing human lives to their worshipped dark beast god.
From the document, it seemed like they possessed a mysterious energy that could summon or contact the dark beast god by sacrificing lives.
The document also mentioned the Third Legion, and the time was in the star calendar year 5453, when his brother Ruan Hongxian was the marshal of the Third Legion.
Ruan Xiao's pupils shrank. "Can we find more information?"
The adjutant looked embarrassed. "There is only this information in that document."
Ruan Xiao fell silent for two seconds. "I understand."
Ruan Shu could sense that her father's mood had suddenly turned sour. She moved closer to his hand, licking it with her small tongue, and looked at him with concern in her eyes.
What's wrong with her father?
Ruan Xiao rubbed her small head with a serious expression.
"It's nothing." I'll send something to your grandfather and your eldest uncle.
He didn't believe it was a coincidence. During the Border Beast uprising, the major legions dispatched troops to quell the rebellion. Everything was fine at first, but then the empress insect suddenly appeared. The Star Beast Legion had to exert a significant amount of effort to kill the creature. When the news returned, the soldiers from both the Third and First Legions had vanished.
