from a cat to the God of death

"Meow~" A weak meow sounded in her ears.

Shen Mengli paused slightly while patting her hem, and then continued her previous action, as if she hadn't heard anything, and she didn't even glance at Si Lanyi.

Si Lanyi dragged his broken body and moved to a position less than one meter away from her.

She couldn't have not seen it.

However, it was already difficult for her to live, and she really didn't have the energy to bear the weight of another life.

Si Lanyi's heart sank little by little.

The last bit of light in his eyes began to dim.

Just when he thought that the last ray of hope was going to be completely shattered.

Shen Mengli stopped patting her hem.

She stared at the already faint footprint on the hem of her hem, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Then, she raised her head.

She looked deep into the alley.

When she looked down at Si Lanyi lying on the ground, dying.

There seemed to be an indescribable complexity in those clear eyes.

Like pity, but also like...

From this miserable cat, I saw a shadow of sympathy.

Shen Mengli sighed faintly.

"Alas--"

A faint flame rekindled in Si Lanyi's dim eyes.

However.

The next moment.

Shen Mengli turned around and walked straight towards the alley.

Watching her gradually receding back.

Si Lanyi's limbs softened and he lay on the cold ground, almost losing the strength to lift his eyelids.

'Forget it, maybe... this is fate. '

Si Lanyi's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and his consciousness began to blur.

Just when he was about to close his eyes completely, a pair of snow-white and delicate ankles suddenly appeared at the end of his blurred vision.

'Is it... an illusion? '

He tried to open his eyes, but could only see a hazy light and shadow.

At this time.

A slightly cold but unexpectedly pleasant voice sounded above his head:

"If you hadn't suddenly appeared, I might have been beaten even worse. Just think of it as repaying your life-saving grace."

Shen Mengli stood in front of Si Lanyi with an old shoe box in her hand, as if she was talking to herself, and as if she was looking for an excuse to take him back.

The reason she left just now was just to pick up this shoe box at the alley.

After all, Si Lanyi was covered in blood now.

The short-sleeved shirt on her body, which was washed white, was one of the few clothes that were still intact. She didn't want to get it dirty.

Si Lanyi used all his strength and finally opened his eyes.

The scene in front of him was still a little blurry, but that figure and those clean eyes were clearly reflected in his mind.

At this moment.

Shen Mengli's face, which was not considered beautiful.

It was as if a soft halo was shrouded in his eyes, more attractive than any woman with heavy makeup.

Shen Mengli carefully picked up Si Lanyi and gently put him in the shoe box.

She held the shoe box and looked down at Si Lanyi, who was almost on his last breath.

I couldn't help but whispered: "I don't have anything good to feed you. Whether you can survive depends on your luck."

"Also, when you recover from your injury, you are not allowed to rely on me."

Shen Mengli just walked out of the alley with the shoebox.

The tabby cat came out from the shadow deep in the alley, staring at the alley entrance with amber eyes, and a deep puzzlement appeared in his eyes.

The reason why they didn't chase out just now.

The main consideration is that if they rushed up as a group of cats, they might scare those two-legged beasts.

And this alley is right next to the street. If those two-legged beasts yell, it will easily attract the two-legged beasts on the street, and they will be in trouble.

Another reason is that it can see that Si Lanyi is almost dead.

In its cognition, creatures like two-legged beasts have always been dangerous and indifferent. How could it lend a helping hand to a half-dead stray cat?

After those two-legged beasts leave, it won't be too late for them to come out and deal with Si Lanyi.

Who would have thought that the seemingly weak two-legged beast would actually take Si Lanyi away.

The tabby cat was silent for a moment, and his eyes swept over the two clever subordinates beside him.

"You two, follow him."

"I want to know where the two-legged beast lives."

On the other side.

Shen Mengli held the shoe box and walked quickly towards the street.

Not long after.

She stopped.

Looking at the remaining oil stains and dark red bloodstains on the ground, her brows could not help but frowned tightly.

"This is trouble."

She looked down at Si Lanyi who had fallen into a coma.

She bit her lip, stopped thinking, and ran towards the end of the street with the shoe box in her arms.

A moment later.

Shen Mengli walked into a store called "Cute Beast House".

The store was filled with a faint herbal fragrance.

A young woman in her twenties, wearing an off-white work suit, was sitting behind the front desk sorting something.

"Sister." Shen Mengli shouted, carefully holding up the shoebox in her arms. "Look at him... Can he be saved?" The receptionist raised her head and looked at the shoebox. When she saw Si Lanyi covered in blood in the shoebox, she frowned. "Why is he so seriously injured?" She put down the things in her hands, took the shoebox, and said with a hint of surprise, "Is this your contracted beast?" Shen Mengli shook her head quickly, "No, this is a stray cat I just found in the alley." Hearing the word stray cat. The receptionist showed obvious surprise on her face. She looked at Shen Mengli for a few times, and her eyes stayed on her washed short-sleeved shirt and pants for a moment. After a little hesitation. The receptionist leaned forward slightly and lowered her voice: "Little sister, the cost of treatment here is not low. Are you sure you want to save this stray cat?" Shen Mengli's hand on her side unconsciously pinched the corner of her clothes, and her fingertips turned white.

"How many hours will it take?"

The receptionist sighed inwardly at her appearance.

She pointed at Si Lanyi in the shoe box and shook her head helplessly: "Look at his injuries, both internal and external injuries, after the whole set of treatment... I'm afraid..."

She didn't give a specific number.Looking at Shen Mengli's clothes that had turned a little pale after washing, she hesitated for a moment and changed her words: "How about this, I can give him a thorough cleaning first, and then apply some basic trauma medicine, and you can just give him two time crystals as a token of appreciation." This was already the lowest price she could offer, almost the cost price. Shen Mengli's eyes flashed with light when she heard this. Then she carefully took out a necklace woven with a red string from her neck. At the end of the necklace. There was a thumb-sized transparent glass bottle tied to it, and the bottle contained some fragmented time crystals. These time crystals were very small, the largest of which was only the size of a little fingernail, and most of them were fine particles, like scraps knocked off from a large piece of time crystal. She pulled out the cork of the small glass bottle. She carefully poured the time crystals inside into her white palm. She lowered her head and counted them carefully one by one with her fingertips. When she pushed aside the fragments of crystals that were worth two complete time crystals, more than half of the time crystals in her hand were gone.

There were even fewer left in the bottle.

In other words, her entire fortune might be only about four time crystals.

The receptionist looked at this scene and couldn't help shaking her head and sighing.

She reached out her hand, but didn't take the pile that Shen Mengli had carefully counted, but poured one out of the glass bottle.

"This one is enough."

A gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Keep the rest for yourself, the kitten also needs nutrition to recover."

Shen Mengli was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the receptionist.

She didn't say much, just re-stuffed the glass bottle, hung it back around her neck, and then bowed deeply to the receptionist.

"Thank you, sister."
