Zhang Zian was so shocked that he felt like he had been struck by lightning. The Elfins were also so shocked that they couldnât speak.
The Elfins had only seen the girl for a short time, and so many things had happened, so none of them were in the mood to pay attention to her appearance. At this time, they looked at him and then at her, and really found some of Zhang Zianâs shadow in her face.
âZian ⦠Zian, could she be your ⦠Distant cousin or something?â Even old time tea, who would not change its expression even if Mount Tai collapsed, stuttered.
Zhang Zianâs parents and his generation basically didnât have any relatives they knew. His relatives had been lost in Wars, turmoil, and movements in the mountains and villages, even before his grandfatherâs time. So far, there were only a few relatives who still kept in touch with him. They didnât have much contact with each other. They were probably the kind who would be rejected even if they tried to borrow a few thousand Yuan.
Zhang Zian had never heard of his distant cousin. Even if he did, why would she come all the way here to help him, an unfamiliar distant cousin?
Moreover, distant cousins would not have any similarities in appearance.
It was said that sons resembled their mothers and daughters resembled their fathers. There was a certain scientific truth to this, but it was not absolute. It depended on which of the parentsâs sex chromosomes were dominant, which was whose genes were stronger.
Richard, who was standing on his shoulder, hit his head with his wings in grief and indignation.âYou are heartless, you are cruel, and you are unreasonable! You betrayed the revolution! Didnât they say that they would be gay friends for life? It was wrong! It must be the black technology of boys having children in the future! And youâre definitely the one in charge of the pregnancy!â
Snowy Lionet licked its paws and said,âmeow meow meow? How could a piece of trash like him find a wife? Why donât I believe you? In order to prevent the poor women from being poisoned, Iâd better castrate him now to see the last eunuch in ancient Egypt. Congratulations!â
Zhang Zian looked at the girl with a blank expression.
âHahaha! Iâve been seen through!â She put her hand to her forehead in embarrassment and sighed.âBut now is not the time to talk about this. Weâll talk about it when we get back.â
Zhang Zian forced himself to look away and gave Cleopatra the seventh a perfunctory smile as a reply to her question.
Todayâs main characters were her and fina. The others should not overshadow the main characters and leave the time to her and fina.
After a while, the elves stopped talking, but they were still shocked.
Cleopatra the seventh did not expect such a big reaction from her ordinary words. She did not understand what the cats and birds were talking about, but she found it interesting.
The room quieted down. Other than herself and fina, only Richard faithfully translated for them.
The fact that the mysterious girl might be Zhang Zianâs daughter shocked fina, but she had more people and things to care about at the moment.
The human senses were very slow, but it could feel that her vitality was rapidly flowing away. She was like a copper lamp that was about to run out of oil. Even a breeze could make her close her eyes forever.
âYou ⦠Are you okay?â
There were thousands of things it wanted to tell her, to throw a tantrum, to hold her and cry, but in the end, it only asked a very silly question.
Of course, she was not in a good state. Her country was in ruins, and her life was on the line. She had only touched it with her right hand and kept her left hand close to her side. Because there were two teeth marks on the inner side of her left forearm, her originally healthy wheat-colored skin had turned blue and purple, and the range of the blue and purple was still expanding. The area around the teeth marks had turned black, and it faintly emitted the rancid smell of body tissues being corroded by poison, and pus was also seeping out.
She was an Emperor, but she was also a woman. Even if she were to die, she wanted to die in the most beautiful way. She didnât want fina to see her ugly side.
âIâm fine. How about you?â She replied with a smile.
âIâm fine, too â¦â Finaâs throat was stuck. It couldnât go on. No matter what it said, it would cry on the spot.
She could tell that fina was doing well. Its fur was as smooth as usual, and it even seemed to be stronger than the last time she saw it. Its eyes were more ⦠Intelligent. It was no longer like a cat, but more like a human.
âReally? thatâs great. Iâm relieved then.â She smiled brightly.âYour friends are all very nice. Iâm sure itâll be very happy to live with them.â
Her hand kept stroking Finaâs head and back, and she combed its hair for the last time.
Fina suddenly raised its claws and pressed her hand on the bed. All the hair on its body stood up, and it shouted at her,ââLiar! Big liar! Youâre obviously dying, so why did you lie to me and say that youâre doing well? Why? You promised to see me at the celestial Palace. Why didnât you keep your promise? Why ⦠Do you want to leave â¦â
Zhang Zian and the others could see its shoulders and body moving up and down from behind. It was obviously sobbing.
They lowered their heads and pretended not to see anything.
She tried to sit up and apologize to it, but the poison had spread to her spine and she couldnât sit up.
âFina, Iâm sorry. I didnât keep my promise. Itâs all my fault. Iâm sorry. Please forgive me.â
She also cried, and her tears messed up her eye makeup. She held fina tightly in her arms, and the cat and human hugged each other and cried.
Being too emotional would speed up her death, but at least she said sorry, and she had one less regret before she died.
A moment later, she stopped crying and held back her tears. Time passed in a flash, and she could already feel the footsteps of death approaching. She couldnât waste the last of her time crying.
âFina, Iâve always been worried about you. Iâm worried that you wonât be able to live well in the future. I wonât be able to take care of you in the future. You must take care of yourself, okay?â She whispered in Finaâs ear,âpromise me that I will only leave this world in peace if you are well.â
Fina wiped its tears with its claws, gritted its teeth, and nodded.
She tried to lift her arm with great effort, but she had no strength left.
âPlease help me.â She asked Zhang Zian for help.
Zhang Zian was stunned for a moment, but he still quickly walked to the side of the bed and waited for her instructions. Whether it was out of respect for a King or out of the demeanor of a lady, he was hesitant.
She pointed to her neck.âHelp me take this off. Itâs time to return it to fina.â
Zhang Zian recognized it at a glance. It was a gorgeous and exquisite collar, shining with a mysterious and sacred light under the light of the oil lamp.
It was no ordinary collar, but the eye of wajite amulet. It looked very similar to the one on the Holy Cat statueâs neck, but the latter was obviously a fake.
The eye on the amulet was lifelike and seemed to move.
