1730 Chapter 1729-returned to Zhao
Zhang Zian was so shocked that he felt like he had been struck by lightning. The Elfins were also so shocked that they couldn’t 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 Zian’s shadow in her face.
“Zian … Zian, could she be your … Distant cousin or something?” Even old time tea, who would not change its expression even if Mount Tai collapsed, stuttered.
Zhang Zian’s parents and his generation basically didn’t have any relatives they knew. His relatives had been lost in Wars, turmoil, and movements in the mountains and villages, even before his grandfather’s time. So far, there were only a few relatives who still kept in touch with him. They didn’t 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 parents’s 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.”You are heartless, you are cruel, and you are unreasonable! You betrayed the revolution! Didn’t 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 you’re definitely the one in charge of the pregnancy!”
Snowy Lionet licked its paws and said,”meow meow meow? How could a piece of trash like him find a wife? Why don’t I believe you? In order to prevent the poor women from being poisoned, I’d better castrate him now to see the last eunuch in ancient Egypt. Congratulations!”
Zhang Zian looked at the girl with a blank expression.
“Hahaha! I’ve been seen through!” She put her hand to her forehead in embarrassment and sighed.”But now is not the time to talk about this. We’ll talk about it when we get back.”
Zhang Zian forced himself to look away and gave Cleopatra the seventh a perfunctory smile as a reply to her question.
Today’s 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 Zian’s 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.
“You … Are you okay?”
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 didn’t want fina to see her ugly side.
“I’m fine. How about you?” She replied with a smile.
“I’m fine, too …” Fina’s throat was stuck. It couldn’t 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.
“Really? that’s great. I’m relieved then.” She smiled brightly.”Your friends are all very nice. I’m sure it’ll be very happy to live with them.”
Her hand kept stroking Fina’s 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,””Liar! Big liar! You’re obviously dying, so why did you lie to me and say that you’re doing well? Why? You promised to see me at the celestial Palace. Why didn’t you keep your promise? Why … Do you want to leave …”
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 couldn’t sit up.
“Fina, I’m sorry. I didn’t keep my promise. It’s all my fault. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”
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 couldn’t waste the last of her time crying.
“Fina, I’ve always been worried about you. I’m worried that you won’t be able to live well in the future. I won’t be able to take care of you in the future. You must take care of yourself, okay?” She whispered in Fina’s ear,”promise me that I will only leave this world in peace if you are well.”
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.
“Please help me.” 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.”Help me take this off. It’s time to return it to fina.”
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 statue’s neck, but the latter was obviously a fake.
The eye on the amulet was lifelike and seemed to move.
