Chapter 6 There’s something wrong with this white cat!
Bai Li was really tired.
Three days of life and death struggle,
Add to that the thrilling supermarket treasure hunt, milk foam disaster, biochemical crisis handling, and load transfer,
It almost drained all the energy out of this little kitten.
After confirming that the half-collapsed basement was temporarily safe,
Once the tense nerves relax,
An overwhelming feeling of fatigue instantly overwhelmed her.
She used up her last bit of strength.
The scattered cement fragments and broken steel bars at the entrance were
Using claws to clumsily pile up pieces bit by bit,
Barely blocking the narrow gap,
Only a few tiny gaps are left for air circulation.
After doing all this,
She felt like she didn't even have the strength to lift her paws.
She almost rolled back to the cardboard box covered with rags.
Curled up, half surrounding the sleeping baby,
The big fluffy tail naturally rests on the edge of the carton.
Like a soft barrier.
soon,
A subtle, even snoring sound rang out in this small underground space.
She fell asleep.
A deep, defenseless sleep.
A faint ray of sunlight,
Tenaciously penetrate the gaps in the rubble at the entrance,
Like a thin golden thread,
Shoot in with precision,
It fell right on the baby's face in the cardboard box.
The spots of light, carrying tiny particles of dust, were jumping gently.
This warm light,
Like a gentle alarm clock,
Wakes up the sleeping Ling Xiao.
His long eyelashes trembled a few times.
Slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing that catches your eye is,
It was the low, dusty, and moldy ceiling of the basement.
The air was filled with the smell of damp earth and a faint musty smell.
And there's a faint smell of...warm, dry hair belonging to a wild animal?
Ling Xiao's consciousness was still a little confused.
The hunger disappeared,
Instead, there was a long-lost, warm feeling of fullness.
The buttocks are also very dry and comfortable.
That soft and warm touch... doesn't seem to be fabric?
etc!
Memories came back like a tide!
The end of the world! The white cat! Stolen! Force-fed! And that... that unspeakable moment of social demise!
"That evil beast!"
Ling Xiao's heart was filled with alarm and he turned his head suddenly!
Then,
He saw the "culprit" close at hand.
That big white cat,
At this moment, I am curled up next to the cardboard box.
With his head resting on his front paws,
His eyes were tightly closed, and his long white beard trembled slightly with his breathing.
Makes a subtle, rhythmic snoring sound.
It fell asleep.
Sleeping very soundly.
Part of the golden light also fell on its snow-white fur.
Covered with a soft halo,
Make it look...sort of holy?
No! It's an illusion! It must be an illusion!
Ling Xiao immediately rejected this absurd idea.
He held his breath and watched carefully.
This white cat...
It seems...something really unusual?
Ling Xiao carefully observed the surrounding environment.
First, the way it blocks the door.
That pile of rubble and steel,
Although it is simple, it is blocked with great skill.
It not only leaves ventilation holes, but also isolates the outside world from sight and possible intrusion to the greatest extent.
This is definitely not the thinking of an ordinary beast!
Ling Xiao recalled the scene in the supermarket.
A cat actually knows how to feed itself with human things.
This is not something an ordinary beast can do.
And he also knows how to dodge and deal with it himself...
Secondly, it is its posture at this moment.
It curled itself into a semicircle,
The body is pressed against the cardboard box.
The tail is resting on the edge of the cardboard box as if guarding its territory.
This is clearly a defensive and protective posture!
Is it... protecting itself?
This realization made Ling Xiao feel extremely complicated.
A dignified Immortal Emperor has fallen to the point of needing protection from a mortal beast?
humiliation!
But... in this cold and hopeless end of the world,
This protection carries with it a warmth that he cannot ignore?
Although he has not experienced the end of the world,
But as an Immortal Emperor, he naturally understood human nature in such extreme circumstances.
How sinister is human nature.
Brothers killed each other, exchanged their children for food,
Protect?
What an ironic word!
Ling Xiao's thoughts were instantly drawn back to the brutal battle that led to his death.
The fragments of memory are like poisoned ice cones,
Pierce into his soul fiercely!
His most trusted chief disciple,
Liu Ruyan, his beloved disciple whom he treated as his own daughter and taught her everything he knew!
At the most critical and weakest moment in his battle with the alien overlord!
The face that always showed admiration and respect instantly twisted into greed and hideousness!
"Master! You are old!"
"This authority to rule the nine heavens, and your cultivation that can shake the universe... it's time for your disciple to keep it for you!"
The dagger, tempered with the poison of soul-destroying, carries the cold light of betrayal.
It pierced his defenseless back with incredible precision!
On that dagger,
It is also engraved with the protective amulet that he personally bestowed upon his beloved disciple!
“W…why?!”
He coughed up golden imperial blood,
Looking back in disbelief, all he saw was the burning, undisguised ambition and madness in Liu Ruyan's eyes.
"Why? Hahahahaha!"
Liu Ruyan laughed wildly, madly grabbing his escaping majestic imperial essence.
"Because you're blocking my way, my dear Master! Brothers? Master and disciple? In the face of the Supreme Dao, they mean nothing! You taught me that the strong prey on the weak, and the victors are kings and the victors are bandits!"
"And you too!"
Ling Xiao's divine consciousness swept across the battlefield.
Those immortal generals and priests whom he had promoted and sworn allegiance to,
At this moment, most of their eyes flickered and their attacks slowed down.
There was even a hint of encirclement forming between them and Ling Feng!
His last hope for humanity was instantly frozen.
Siblings kill each other, masters and apprentices turn against each other, and loyalties collapse...
He has invested his trust and hard work in everything he has cultivated.
In the end, they all turned into sharp blades that stabbed at oneself!
He used up his last bit of strength to launch the forbidden technique.
Drag the betrayers and powerful enemies to the underworld,
The soul unexpectedly fell into this mortal world...
I thought this was the greatest mockery of fate to him.
But I didn’t expect…
Under this apocalyptic ruin that is more cruel and naked than the fairyland,
When he was at his most vulnerable, powerless, like a fish on a chopping block,
Give him a little warmth, a little shelter, and even... a little protection,
They are not of the same kind.
But it was a... beast that he had initially regarded as a vicious animal? !
A white cat that doesn't speak human language, is naive, and even a little clumsy? !
A strong sense of contrast,
Like the strongest irony,
It severely impacted Ling Xiao's cognition.
He looked at the innocent and even naive white cat sleeping soundly.
Then he looked at his own baby body that couldn't even turn over.
An indescribable complex emotion.
This white cat...
It blocks the door for safety.
It's guarding, perhaps just out of some...beast instinct to feed its cubs?
Or... is it the kindness that comes naturally from its newly awakened, feeble spirit?
Whatever it is,
This simple and direct protection,
In this cold, desperate, and human-collapsed apocalyptic context,
It seems so precious.
