C40 (1/2)

My mother's expression had already made me suspicious. How could I not continue asking?

”Mommy, were you killed by someone? If that's really the case, then please tell me and I will avenge you. ”

A strange light flashed in my mother's eyes. Perhaps my last sentence played a crucial role, but she unexpectedly nodded blankly.

”So that's really the case?”

”Yes, Ruxue, you must be wary of Tathagata. There is definitely a problem with him.” Mom looked at me secretly. Just as she was about to continue speaking, I heard the shrill cry of a cat.

Mom's face suddenly changed, scared to the point that her face turned green. I only saw a puff of green smoke rise up, and then she disappeared as if she had never appeared before.

”Mom, mom, where did you go?” I shouted, but unexpectedly, the cat bit me.

Its teeth were so sharp that when they bit into my ankle, it felt as if my heart was being torn apart.

I couldn't help but sweat profusely. Then, something even stranger happened. I could vaguely hear the cat laugh. That sound was simply hair-raising. I can't hold on any longer. I can only feel my vision blur before me and finally, I fell unconscious.

However, before I fainted, I seemed to see the cat transform into a human form. At that moment, I thought, maybe I was seeing things?

”Eldest Miss, wake up.” Xier's anxious voice sounded beside her ears.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw that Xier was holding something in her hand, and she was looking at me with a face full of worry.

”Xier, what's wrong with me?”

Xier seemed to be a little scared, she immediately shook her head and said, ”You're fine, you're fine, you're fine, it's just that you were bitten by a cat, I've already drugged you. I believe it will soon be better. ”

Only then did I remember what happened earlier. I hastily looked towards the spot where I was bitten. I saw how eye-catching the long wound was.

”I didn't expect this cat to be so crazy, to actually say that it could hurt people. Who's raising this cat?” I don't think I've ever seen a cat like that before.

Xier was very focused on her thoughts, and only after hearing my voice did she speak sluggishly, ”I'm new, I'm not too clear about the situation inside the villa.”

However, what I saw was that Xier's eyes were averting her gaze, as though she was deliberately avoiding my topic.

But I also knew that even if I asked any more questions, I wouldn't get anything out of them.

I had no choice but to lie in bed and recuperate.

Although it was an unremarkable injury, but for me, I felt uncomfortable all over, always feeling that my body didn't have the slightest bit of strength.

And I started to get sleepy from time to time.

At first, I didn't pay much attention to these fantasies, but it wasn't until 12 o'clock in the evening, when I was going to the Buddhist hall to listen to Tathagata's chanting that I realized something was wrong.

I had originally wanted to persevere and get Xier to help me up, but then I realised that I couldn't even do such a simple action.

Sweat kept dripping from my head, but I still couldn't get up.

”Eldest Miss, what should we do? I think even if you get up now, it would still be delayed. What if Young Master Rulai blames you? ”

Xier couldn't help but perspire when she thought of Tathagata's fierce look.

It's not like I don't know Tathagata's temper, so after I heard Xier's words, I had to work even harder to get up.

However, due to my overexertion, my wound suddenly started to hurt as if it was being torn apart.

I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I threw myself on the bed, my head dripping with cold sweat.

My wound is so painful. Xier, why don't you hurry up and go to the buddhist hall, otherwise Tathagata will blame you, just tell him that I'm injured and can't go.

Xier hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she agreed to my suggestion.

After she left, I noticed that the wound seemed to be a little black, and there seemed to be a faint dazzling light coming from it. What was going on?

It was just a bite from a cat, so it shouldn't be that serious, right?

”Aiya, Ruxue, I finally found you. You seem to be injured? ”Hurry up and let me take a look. Are you alright?”

Was it a warm voice?

I was slightly surprised. How did she find this place?

”Gentle, why have you come?”

”That's when I wanted to see you and talk to you about old times.” A smile seemed to rise at the corner of her lips.

I doubt if I'm seeing things. Why can she smile when she sees me in such pain and pain, and laugh from the bottom of her heart?

”However, you did not come at the right time. I feel very uncomfortable right now. My wound seems to be poisonous.”

Looking at the black that was still spreading, I realized that I was really poisoned.

”Then what should we do!?” Ruxue, how did you do it? ”How could you be so careless?”

I couldn't see a trace of anxiety on my warm face.

”I was bitten by a cat.”

”Cat?” Warmth was shocked. She suddenly thought of the cat she had seen in her room.
