Zhang Zian could not believe what he just saw on his cell phone screen.
That was impossible!
That material cat?
I didn’t buy her a diamond ring today; how come her friendliness increased?
Did she…find my debit card?
Putting the questions aside, Zhang Zian was more interested in Fina’s history.

[Unlocked History]:All house cats are originated from Egypt!
4000 years ago, on the alluvial plains along both sides of the Nile, the improvement in cultivation technology remarkably increased the production of food. For the first time ever, humans started reserving surplus grains on a large scale, which also brought the problem of mice. In order to resolve the mice problem, ancient Egyptians tried to tame Felis silvestris lybica, a wild cat from the African desert, into a gentle house cat. It was the beginning of a friendship between humans and cats. All current house cats were originated from there.
Cats had an extremely high status in ancient Egypt.
2900 years ago, the goddess Bastet was honored as the official God of Egypt. Cats were in a tremendously high position in people’s hearts at the time.
Ancient Egypt strictly prohibited exportation of cats; however, cats arrived in Greece 2500 years ago and spread from there ever since.
2000 years ago, the expansion of Rome brought cats all over Europe. During roughly 200 BC, they were brought to China and India through Mesopotamia. Unfortunately, the 12 zodiac animals were already chosen at the time and the cat was not able to make an appearance due to late arrival.
In the 15th century, to resolve the mice problem on the ocean carriers, Columbus brought house cats to America.
In the 17th century, house cats appeared in Australia.
In the 19th century, cats reached the south and north poles on explorer’s ships.
The cat had completed its global occupation.
However, no matter how widely cats reached, their root and most resplendent time was still in Ancient Egypt.
At that time, cats would be made into mummies after death. The owner would hold a grand funeral and the owner’s whole family would shave off their eyebrows to show their sorrow. Whoever hurt a cat could face a death sentence.
The Ancient Egyptian Kingdom was a real cat enthusiast country, the first and has been ever since.
The Fina Paris family has been honored as the guardian of the ancient Egyptian Ptolemaic dynasty and the Grand High Priest of the Bubastis Shrine for generations. The beloved pet of Cleopatra VII, Fina Paris XIII was the most powerful cat of all time. In the annual Best Festival, 700,000 adult men and women would rush to the holy land of Bubastis, and present their most valuable gifts, pray to the Bubastis Shrine. With the powerful faith blessing, Fina Paris XIII became an Elf.
She was half epic, half legend, and almost reached the Goddess status!
Undoubtedly, Fina Paris XIII was the closest to the Goddess cat. She was the ancestor of all cats, the queen of cats.
[Unlocked Real Name]:the golden cat of Cleopatra VII!
…
It was a total shock to Zhang Zian!
