Chapter 38: Shining Little Stones

Galaxy seemed to only be afraid of humans, not other creatures. It was not terrified to see the huge-phony Maneki-Neko at all.
Galaxy talked happily with the Maneki-Neko, ”Meow! Come and play hide and seek? It’s fun!”
Maneki-Neko had probably evaluated Galaxy’s power level already and stood up straight. ”It is a pleasure to meet you, venerable opponent! I am Fina Paris XIII, the guardian of the Kingdom of Eternity! Please wait a moment if you want to challenge me!”
”What! This cat looks up to Galaxy but not me? The tones were so different.” Zhang Zian was very depressed.
Maneki-Neko walked around Galaxy and approached the glass door.
”Meow?” Galaxy got confused and looked at Zhang Zian. Zhang Zian shrugged his shoulders and made a face.
Through the glass door, Maneki-Neko gazed at the comings and goings of pedestrians and vehicles.
Although the appearance was different, and they had very different personalities, but at this moment, the back of the Maneki-Neko was very similar to Galaxy, as both were lonely and proud, leaving Zhang Zian with the same loneliness across time and space.
After a long time, it slowly paced back with a very sad look, as if something seemed to be gone forever. Zhang Zian noticed its lacrimal gland was secreting lots of tears, which made its eyes crystal clear.
The navigation elf had said that this Maneki-Neko was real and had existed in history. It was subjected to people’s beliefs and became a mythical creature. The navigation elf probably wasn’t lying. However, Zhang Zian could not imagine any cat in history could act at this level. It was for sure that it was not a cat from Chinese history. A Chinese cat wouldn’t have a name such as ”Fina Paris XIII.”
Zhang Zian wondered, but saw an incredible sight from the corner of his eyes.
The Persian cat, brimming with spirit, was sprawling in the display case, facing Maneki-Neko, just like it was worshipping the emperor!
The other cats, no matter if they were British Shorthairs, Siamese cats, or American Shorthairs, all had the same posture, as if they were were worshipping Maneki-Neko!
Maneki-Neko ignored them as if it took their worship for granted.
Zhang Zian opened the lid of the display case with his mouth wide open, gently striking Maneki-Neko. A slight shudder was coming from the back of Maneki-Neko; it was shivering! The other cats were shaking too.
”Wait a minute. What is happening? Why are they so scared?” Zhang Zian didn’t know whom he was asking, but he had to say something, otherwise he would be frightened to the point of trembling by this eerie sight.
Looking back at Galaxy, it was fine, without any affection or fear, just full of questions in its head.
The Samoyed and Schnauzer behaved normally, just looking at this glittering cat curiously.
A long, clear voice, coming from Maneki-Neko, called out, ”Rise up.”
The Persian cat stopped shaking and carefully changed from a prone posture to a sitting position, as did the others.
”Oh, my gosh! This cat is weird!” Zhang Zian was too shocked to say anything.
Maneki-Neko sprang gracefully with its slim and athletic shape, as if walking on air, and fell on a chair prepared for customers, then looked up slightly at Zhang Zian.
”I know it now. Time is overlapped,” it said.
Zhang Zian was relieved. ”Great, this cat is arrogant but reasonable.”
”From now on, I appoint you as command manager, in charge of my daily life.”
”…”
”Should I change my name to Junior An?” thought Zhang Zian.
”This is my mercy. Do you have any complaints?” it inquired with a raised eyebrow.
