Jane felt that it was impossible for the red-tailed cat to lose too much blood for no apparent reason. Since there were no obvious wounds on its body, it meant that the wounds were probably not obvious.
She lay down and carefully turned over the red-tailed cat's fur, and soon found a needle hole where the cat's paw should be.
The kitten had its blood drawn?
Who is so cruel that he would bully such a cute little kitten?
Jane was furious, remembering that this cat had human nature and was no ordinary cat. Last time, it had swallowed two evil spirits and was able to digest them, clearly something special. She could already guess that the red tail hair might contain some powerful bloodline. Now that the cat had lost too much blood, and needle marks had been found on its paws, someone must have noticed this and wanted to extract the kitten's blood for other purposes.
Whether it is a ferocious beast or a divine beast, its bloodline is extremely precious and has various benefits.
However, many years ago, due to their scarcity, ferocious and divine beasts brought some peace-loving demonic beasts to sign a treaty with humans, allowing them to coexist peacefully in this world. Regardless of whether they could transform or not, all descendants of these signatories were registered from birth.
The country's special departments have also issued regulations, welcoming peace-loving monsters to register their identities and obtain legal ID cards.
The benefits of registration are that, as long as they don't commit any crimes, they enjoy the same treatment as humans. Humans cannot harm them at will, and they can also find suitable jobs in the human world. However, they must hide their identities as much as possible, as some things are not suitable for ordinary people to know.
Unregistered monsters and beasts that don't violate human rules won't be hunted. However, some people who want to take shortcuts will secretly hunt these monsters to improve themselves.
It is actually prohibited to wantonly hunt and kill innocent monsters, but in the face of interests, many people still choose to take risks.
Jane Yi guessed that someone had noticed that the kitten was unusual and wanted to use the method of drawing blood to see if they could stimulate her bloodline in advance. However, this would not only cause the kitten great pain, but also cause her to be born with a deficiency due to the countless blood drawn in advance to stimulate her bloodline.
At that time, it was basically useless.
The other party was obviously after the bloodline and would definitely not use any panacea to nourish the kitten. Once the bloodline was stimulated, it would most likely be drawn away.
Thinking of this, Jane's face flushed with anger. She took out a knife and poked her finger, and bright red blood oozed out of her fingertips.
Put your finger in the red-tailed cat's mouth. Now that you've encountered it, she will definitely not sit idly by. This kitten must be taken back. Let's talk to the landlady. It seems that she is not so averse to having a cat.
She was not very comfortable leaving the kitten outside, so it was better for her to keep it by her side. At least, anyone who dared to touch the kitten had to get through her first.
It's also because they now live in peace with humans, otherwise she would want to swallow those dogs.
By the way, I don’t know who did it.
The kitten understood human nature, but couldn't speak. She didn't know how many times she had encountered this kind of thing, but she believed it had happened more than once.
Qin Xin, who had been so weak that she fainted, suddenly tasted something sweet and couldn't help but swallow it. After taking two bites, she instantly felt her strength return. When she opened her eyes, she realized she was biting a finger, and the sweet taste in her mouth was tinged with a hint of blood.
She understood what was going on.
When I looked up, I saw Jane Yi in a daze.
"Kitten, are you awake?" Jian Yi pulled out her finger and stroked the cat's head. "Aren't you in Rong City? Why did you come to Wan City? You're lucky to have met me again. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened to you."
Qin Xin was very silent. She didn't know if it was good luck, but she didn't expect that she would accidentally catch a glimpse of the little monster in the afternoon, which would lead to their meeting again like this.
"You can't speak, so I can't help you find those who hurt you. How about you lead the way? I'll go over and capture them."
Qin Xin still didn't move. She wasn't sure if the little monster was their match, and she still hadn't figured out what was going on.
The truth was so cruel that she found it hard to accept it for a while.
Before dark, she thought her family was unaware of her situation.
When it got dark, she fell asleep and woke up again as a cat. She was outside the house, but before she could react, she saw her mother coming out and walking towards her.
She was very nervous at that moment, not understanding whether her mother knew that it was her who turned into a cat, or whether she accidentally discovered that there was a cat outside.
Until the other person walked up to her, stretched out his hand to her, roughly grabbed the back of her neck and lifted her up, she didn't feel any tenderness at all.
Her mother is such a gentle person in normal times, and she seems to be very loving towards other people's cats and dogs. She doesn't have any pets at home because she doesn't like hair everywhere.
How could her family, who doted on her so much, do such a thing to her later? She couldn't understand.
She was carried inside by He Huilan and unexpectedly went to the basement of the house. It was the first time for her to know that there was such a spacious basement in the house, and she was a little confused about some of the layout inside.
However, she had seen the things in it in some movies and TV dramas about metaphysics and ghost hunting.
Just when she was confused, her father, who usually doted on her, glanced at her coldly and said to He Huilan, "He's been caught."
"I caught her back. You know how stupid this little bastard is once she returns to her original form. She didn't even react when she saw me coming over. I caught her back easily."
Qin Xin couldn't believe that her incredibly gentle mother would actually say such cold-blooded words. She kept calling her a little beast, without a trace of love in her words.
She couldn't believe it was true, and squatted on the ground stupidly, not even thinking of running away.
"Okay, let's draw blood first. I don't know when it will end." Qin Xiyuan, like He Huilan, grabbed her by the back of the neck roughly and put her on a high platform. Soon she felt a needle piercing her claws, and the blood in her body was gradually drained away. She finally reacted.
But it was too late to struggle at this time. She was locked in a cage and her body was confined. She had no way to break free and escape.
"Don't move, little beast. If you move again, I'll kill you."
Qin Xin felt sad when she thought about these words. She had never thought that her parents, who loved her so much, would treat her like this.
Why would they treat her like this?
She didn't know how much blood had been drained from her body. She fell into endless fatigue and felt a little drowsy. She even thought she might die here today. But her intuition told her that they would not let her die.
Sure enough, when she was about to faint, Qin Xiyuan stopped drawing blood.
In a daze, she heard Qin Xiyuan say, "Is the blood a little different this time? Let me try it first."
Qin Xin looked at the two men weakly. They were drinking her blood one sip at a time and making comments about it.
He Huilan said, "It's a little different. The power contained within is stronger. Could it be that the bloodline has awakened?"
"It doesn't look like it. If it really had its bloodline awakened, this cage would definitely not be able to hold it. It might have eaten something outside."
Qin Xiyuan's words reminded Qin Xin of the two round, gray things Jian Yi had given her to eat. After eating them, she felt noticeably better. So, was this the reason her blood was experiencing more strength?
What happened tonight plunged Qin Xin into darkness.
Her parents kept calling her a little beast and even drank her blood, and they were never satisfied.
Later, the two men thought she was an eyesore and threw her outside. It was the last bit of her strength that allowed her to jump to Jane Yi's balcony.
"You look listless, which shouldn't be the case. After drinking my blood, you should be jumping up and down instantly." Jane stroked the cat's head and tilted it to examine it. "Are you scared? Have you ever experienced something like this before?"
Qin Xin actually didn't remember, but judging from the familiar way the two addressed each other and their previous conversations, he must have done this to her more than once.
The kitten ignored her, and Jane didn't force it. She carried the cat to the bed and placed it beside her. It was summer, so there was no need for a blanket. They just lay together, one person and one cat.
"Kitten, it's too dangerous for you to be a stray cat outside, what do you think?"
Qin Xin raised her eyelids. What did the little monster want to say?
Now her whole body was in a mess, and she couldn't think deeply about what Jane meant. It was as if she couldn't think at this moment. She just listened to Jane's words and forgot them in the blink of an eye.
"Being a stray cat is hard, and having your blood drawn is also hard," Jane decided to tell the red-tailed cat about her identity. "Actually, I suspect you have the blood of a fierce or divine beast, but it's weak, and there's no magic potion to stimulate it, so it won't awaken anytime soon. The person who drew your blood probably saw this and wanted to stimulate the hidden blood in your body by constantly drawing your blood. To protect you, your blood will awaken prematurely."
"But this kind of awakening won't benefit you. It will prematurely consume your talent, just like a premature baby. If it doesn't develop well, it will die. Some people are particularly evil these days and like to use unconventional methods to improve themselves. I suspect they do this just to take your bloodline for their own use."
"Now that you've been discovered, it's really not safe for a cat to live outside."
"I'll support you from now on."
Qin Xin couldn't help rolling her eyes this time. A little monster who never had enough to eat actually said he wanted to support her.
Don’t you think it’s not confident enough to say this?
"Kitten, squeak." Jane Yi patted the cat's head. "You won't lose out if you follow me. I can even help you awaken your bloodline. When I get orders to catch evil spirits in the future, I'll give you half of them. Eat more evil spirits, and your bloodline will awaken faster. By then, you'll become very powerful, and no one will be able to hurt you anymore. Besides, even if you're still a sick cat, don't you still have me as your poop scooper?"
"How about it?"
Qin Xin nodded without hesitation this time.
"Okay, I'll have a cat from now on." Jane hugged the cat and gave it a few kisses.
Qin Xin: “…”
