Chapter 336 – Fisherman Calls Police After Florida Woman Catfishes Him and Steals His Fish
The war between Fenrir Werewolves and Cathulhus did not proceed as planned. Although Overlord Xiaomao and many Cathulhus were stronger than the invading forces, they got blindsided by small task forces from various races.
The angel race, who were born from Dr. Mao Miaomiao's dantian universe, was the greatest threat. They consumed their dead comrades and evolved into giant eyeballs, similar to Sieg. They coordinated with the werewolves and destroyed civilian planets. Then, the wicked angel turned dead Cathulhu civilians into giant sea creatures, such as tunas, angler fish, jellyfish, and sharks to terrorize Cathulhu's territory.
Ellen sent her forces to help the Cathulhu. She managed to wipe out half of the angel's forces while Overlord Xiaomao defeated the other half by himself. However, dealing with the roaming mutated Cathulhus was another story.
Giant sea creatures dispersed and roamed the universe after the major battle. Some peacefully integrated into the habitant's culture while the rest became wild space animals. They quickly bred with other races and gave birth to other space monsters.
In the end, the Cathulhu sensed that their home galaxy was no longer safe. As they heard about Leo's fame, some of them decided to migrate to Florida Galaxy.
As the leader of all Cathulhus, Overlord Xiaomao led the first immigrant fleet to visit Leo for the first time.
…
Because of Cat's presence, the escort fleet halted their advance. The immigration fleet also stopped. Xiaomao noticed the presence of a transcendent being. He left the ship to greet the expert.
But when the overlord came out and saw Cat's otherworldly beauty, his heart stuttered. Even though Xiaomao had lived and experienced the world for countless years, his body reacted to Cat's natural charm and beauty.
Overlord Xiaomao smacked his chest and regained his composure. He cupped his fist and saluted.
"Greetings, young lady. I'm Overlord Xiaomao from the Cathulhu Galaxy. We're here to migrate to Lord Florda Man's territory. I hope that you can show us mercy."
Cat tilted her head in confusion. As she didn't understand politics, she simply asked the overlord what she always taxed the others.
"Nom-Nom Meow?"
She might be 10 years old, but she still demanded nom-nom tax from strangers.
Xiaomao was unfazed by the sudden tongue language. As the Cathulhu also had a unique accent, the overlord was used to it. Her language was also easy to comprehend.
"What kind of food would you like? Animal meat, fish, humanoid beings, vegetables, fruits, or blood?"
Cat was overjoyed as this stranger was understanding, "Anything is Nom-Nom'able to me, meow!"
"I see," Xiaomao laughed and gave her the corpse of a mutated planet eater, which was in the form of a star-sized piranha.
Cat squealed and rushed to eat it. Her jaw detached as she expanded the size of her mouth. In one bite, the entire creature disappeared into her small stomach.
Although Xiaomao was familiar with Cathulhus, this was his first time witnessing an absurd glutton. He wondered what Cat's stomach was made of.
"You have a great appetite, I see." Xiaomao praised her.
"Thank you, meow! You're a good man, meow!"
Xiaomao straightened his back and asked her, "May I know who you are, miss?"
Cat puffed her chest. "I am Cat! My daoist name is Florida Girl!"
"F-Florida Dao?" Xiaomao was taken aback. He heard about this dao, but he still didn't understand what it was.
While they were chatting, a representative gold dragonewt of the escort troops flew toward the overlord. When he noticed Cat's presence, he quickly reminded the overlord who she was.
"Senior, this person is the first princess of Florida Galaxy, "Kat, the Florida Fairy". She is known to be the off-limited goddess. All men who once courted her suffered unforeseen demise. Please keep your distance and mind your boundary."
Xiaomao broke a sweat and whispered back. "I understand. But isn't she pitiful? She will never get married at this rate."
The dragonewt officer dryly laughed. "Sir, she's only 10 years old."
"…"
"I hope you're not interested in her. If you do, our lord might kill you."
"…"
Overlord Xiaomao almost slapped his face for the sinful thought. He marked the day as the blemish of his life.
After chatting with Cat and the officer for a while, Cat allowed everybody to enter the galaxy. She also used her authority to book the East Hotel to accommodate the delegates.
…
A day later, Dongfang Mei who was still the general manager of the hotel arranged a schedule for the new visitors to meet Leo. In the afternoon, Leo visited the hotel's grand hall to greet the new guests.
Xiaomao and Leo met again. The latter welcomed the elder.
"I've been expecting you. How was the trip?"
Xiaomao bitterly laughed, "Terrible, sir. Our people have been murdered. We migrate as many Catopuses as we can, and they are lacking food. I hope that you can provide us an assistance. Oh, I heard you always exchange your merchandise for life force. I don't have much, but I'm willing to pay for them."
Leo raised his eyebrows and sighed, "Don't worry. I don't need any. I'll give them enough food that they will be fatter than J*bba, the H*t."
"J*bba?"
"Never mind. Anyway…"
Leo scanned Xiaomao's lifespan status. It did not look good – He only had less than 10 years to live.
"You've been living a hard life, friend," Leo felt bad for him. He wished he could extend the man's lifespan, but his fate was already predetermined.
Xiaomao faintly smiled as he didn't feel like it was. Instead, his life was already fulfilling, except he never got married.
"It's alright. I'll manage."
"…I see."
The two continued to discuss the immigration matter and settled an arrangement for the Cathulhu.
The negotiation was smooth as Leo already foresaw this event. He agreed to accommodate the cats and provide them with jobs and opportunities.
Xiaomao was grateful for Leo's help. He offered to give Leo his fishing rod, but Leo declined.
Leo was impressed by Xiaomao's positive attitude and honor. Instead of taking his items or lifespan, he decided to assist him and give him a better future. By waving his finger, Leo ejected a prismatic void pill, which was the latest masterpiece of his domain. He gave it to Xiaomao.
"What is this?" Asked Xiaomao.
"Prismatic Void Pill."
The bead pill glittered in rainbow light similar to Leo's aura in the past. It also contained various effects, but only Leo knew what it could do.
Leo urged Xiaomao, "Eat this pill before you return. You will be able to recover the strength and suppress the karma river's curse for a few years. After the pill's effects expire, you should be able to live for another 100 years or so."
Xiaomao was surprised. He laughed, "A hundred years is too long for me. I will eventually reincarnate anyway. I don't see the point of living miserably for longer."
"Hmm. But I think you might want to reconsider it, though."
"Why is that?"
"One day, your subordinates might bring you a piece of good news and bad news. They will leave behind a legacy and ask you for help."
"A legacy?"
Xiaomao pondered what legacy would be so important that required his help. All Cathulhus that he had interacted with in the past were mostly playful and idiotic. Only his disciple, Miao Damao, was more reliable.
Leo wished he could reveal what tragic event Overlord Xiaomao needed to face. For the sake of the final result, he chose not to disclose Xiaomao's future ordeal.
"That's all I can say. Come back when you are ready to reincarnate. I will prepare the parting gifts for your next life's journey."
Xiaomao gave Leo a meaningful look. He deeply bowed, "I'll never forget your kindness, Lord Florida Man."
"…It's my duty." Leo snickered.
…
After Overlord Xiaomao left, Leo summoned Mu-Nyang over.
Mu-Nyang rarely stayed in the Florida Domain as he mostly worked in Orlando. When Leo summoned him, he was overjoyed.
"What's up, munya?"
Leo gazed at Mu-Nyang and patted the walking statue. Feeling guilty for ignoring the guy, he asked the giant cat boy.
"Is there anything you want, Mu-Nyang? What is your dream?"
Mu-Nyang pursed his lips as the question came out of nowhere. He pondered about it and thought of Aslan.
"If I reincarnate, will I be able to remember you, munya?"
Leo shook his head, "You're a newborn soul that is attached to me. Once I let you go, you will forget about me and what we have done together."
"…That's sad, munya. I don't want to reincarnate anymore. I want to be with you, munya!"
Leo was happy, but there was a timeline that required Mu-
Nyang's cooperation. In that potential future, Mu-Nyang would live a good life, have a loving wife, and have many good friends. As Leo was the creator of Mu-Nyang, he wanted the child to live free as an adult.
"Even birds leave their nests one day. It's about time you have to spread your wings, Mu-Nyang."
Mu-Nyang was taken aback. He protested, "Do I really have to reincarnate, munya?! I don't want to go, munya! I love it here!"
"But what about your life? You can't live as a soulless golem forever. If I leave this universe for too long, you will turn into stone permanently."
"…Ugh," Mu-Nyang sulked. He was unwilling to leave. "Can't I be your subordinate forever, munya?"
Leo was at his wit's end. He was about to abandon this project, but he suddenly had an inspiration. Leo shared what he saw with Mu-Nyang.
Mu-Nyang fell into a trance. Although 10 seconds had passed, he experienced 10,000 years in his mind.
"M-Master?" Mu-Nyang stuttered in disbelief.
"Do you want that future to happen to the poor man?"
"O-Of course not! That would be too tragic, munya!"
"Then, can you help him for me?"
"…But I won't be able to remember you, munya."
"You won't be alone. I'll send Lucky and Meowmeow to be with you. I'll also visit you occasionally and create new memories together with you. Even though you might not remember me, I'll always remember you."
Mu-Nyang shed a tear. He sniffed and cried like a baby.
Leo hugged him and stayed with him for a whole year, playing with him 24/7.
A year later, Leo gathered Lucky, Meowmeow, and Mu-Nyang. He freed Lucky and Meowmeow's souls, sending them to Mu-
Nyang's dantian universe. Then, Leo personally implanted a true karmic fate crystal into Mu-Nyang's soul fragment and sent him off to the karma river.
.
.
In the end, Xiaomao left Florida Galaxy alone and left the Cathulhu immigrants behind. He returned to his galaxy to protect the other fighters and his disciples.
A few years later, Xiaomao understood why Leo mentioned "Legacy".
One day, his disciple "Miao Damao" brought his wife over for a visit. However, they were critically injured, and his wife had a baby. After a brief investigation, Miao Damao revealed that they were being hunted by Overlord Lucky and his men.
This enraged Xiaomao. He taunted Lucky and baited him into a fight.
Lucky fell for Xiaomao's scheme and attacked the fisherman. However, Overlord Xiaomao killed Lucky in one move.
After the brief fight, Miao Damao and his wife passed away. Xiaomao tried to resuscitate them, but he only managed to save the baby.
The baby of Miao Damao was none other than Mu-Nyang, whom Xiaomao unknowingly blessed with the same name. From that day on, Mu-Nyang became Xiaomao's adopted child.
