Before returning to hell, Mingyue and Xiaoman should know that the thing they are most worried about is bread.
"Yueyue, can Bread go back with us?"
Xiaoman asked worriedly while lying on Mingyue's shoulder.
Mingyue stood in the hall, looking at the bread being prepared in the open kitchen.
Bread has accompanied her and Xiaoman for seven years and has long become a family to each other.
"Momo! Dodo! Come and try my new dish! Fisherman's Pie!"
The bread came running over with a big piece of freshly baked pie on its head.
Mingyue took a bite and found the tender fish meat paired with cream and slightly burnt mashed potatoes on top.
This light but rich flavor is delicious.
“Well done, the bread is amazing.”
Hearing Mingyue's praise, Mianbao immediately pricked up his ears and slowly walked over to rub her legs.
She knelt down and gently ran her fingers through the soft hairs of the bread.
Whenever Mingyue thinks that a cat’s life span is only a dozen years, her heart feels like it’s been torn apart.
She thought about what they had been through together over the past few years, so if she were to go back to the Hell Plane, she would definitely want to bring the bread with her.
However, bread cannot withstand the time difference between the two dimensions.
Mingyue must find some way to solve this problem before she can go with them with the panel.
Xiaoman is working hard to collect in the system store.
Mingyue was flipping through various ancient magic books, her fingertips lingering on the page of "Life Magic".
She knew there was an ancient spell that could grant ordinary creatures the power of immortality. But the warning on the edge of the page was also particularly eye-catching: "Those who violate the laws of nature will pay the price."
Mingyue is not afraid of the price, but she is worried about whether the immortality magic will change the creature itself.
This is not safe enough, pass.
The next one is not safe enough, pass.
Dark magic, no, no dark magic.
Mingyue wants to use magic to preserve the future, but she also doesn't want magic to affect the present. She wants to protect Bread's eyes which are filled with satisfaction and happiness for the present.
Mianbao soon realized what Mingyue and Xiaoman were busy with. They told Mianbao that they might leave this dimension and asked Mianbao if he wanted to join them.
Of course Bread nodded, "Meow! Want to travel somewhere new? Cat wants to go!"
Mingyue smiled and said, "Well, let's go together."
After they finished talking about this, Mingyue and Xiaoman became busy, and sometimes they looked serious or sad.
Bread didn't know why they were like this and started to worry.
One day, Bread raised his head and asked Mingyue.
"Are you and Xiaoman leaving?"
"Is it impossible to bring the cat with me?"
"It's okay, the cat knows. If you tell me, the cat will wait for you to come back."
"The cat will wait for you to come back."
Mingyue slowly squatted down and gently touched Bread's hairy forehead with her fingertips.
The cat tilted its head, its amber pupils reflecting the human's serious expression.
"Bread," Mingyue's voice was very soft, "Are you willing to sign a contract with me?"
She pulled out a piece of shimmering parchment from her bosom, on which ancient runes emerged.
Only time can fight against time.
This is a contract magic she created about sharing lifespan, and it is also the most reliable method she has found so far.
This contract will connect Mingyue's life to the bread, and from now on the cat will have as long a life as hers.
But Mingyue is not sure whether Mianbao is willing to accept this. Endless years are not a good gift. Once you embark on it, there will be no room for regret.
Bread squatted quietly in front of Mingyue, with its tail gently wrapped around its front paws.
It raised its face and touched Mingyue's fingertips with its wet nose as a response.
"If it means I can be with people and Xiaoman, the cat is willing."
Bread stretched out his front paw and placed it on the contract paper without hesitation.
Mingyue smiled, her eyes slightly warm.
Xiaoman next to her also had tears in her eyes.
She bit her fingertip and a drop of blood fell on the contract.
The light suddenly rose, and the contract turned into tiny points of light, entwining around the fingertips and claws of the man and the cat, and finally sinking into each other's chests.
From now on, their lives will be like intertwined threads, never to be separated again.
Outside the window, the afterglow of the setting sun poured in, stretching their shadows very long, as if leading to the distant future.
From this moment on, there is one more traveler on the road.
