Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.

Qiuyue raised her hand and touched its little head. She looked at it and said softly, "Well... What I want to ask is, does Xiao Fubao know where the two kittens I raised more than a thousand years ago, Little Cotton and Little Pudding, went?"

Little Fubao was stunned when he heard this. He blinked his eyes again, somewhat surprised.

It originally thought Qiuyue would ask about Zhang Shouxu and the others, or something else, but it didn't expect that Qiuyue would ask about the two cats!

It thought Qiuyue had forgotten them.

[Ah, Xiao Fubao knows them. Why did you suddenly think of asking them? ]

When Qiuyue saw Xiao Fubao say that he knew them, her eyes suddenly lit up, but when she saw his curious questions, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Because I fell into a deep sleep for twenty years before waking up. Even if I wanted to look for them, it's too late. Too much time has passed, and cats may not live that long. Now that I know your origins, Xiao Fubao, I still want to know what happened to them back then, why they suddenly disappeared, and what the final outcome was... I have to... I have to have an answer before I can give up."

Little Fubao suddenly opened his eyes slightly wide, and couldn't help but put his little paws on his chest, sighing in his heart.

She is indeed its most gentle sister!

It turns out that she didn't mention it before, not because she forgot them, but because she had been keeping them in her heart and didn't say them out loud. In fact, she had been thinking about them all the time!

"Squeak!"

[Sister, they're doing well. They're even still alive and well. They're still alive nowヾ(??▽?)ノ!!]

After sighing, Xiao Fubao immediately responded to Qiuyue, and Qiuyue's eyes widened in an instant, her red lips slightly parted, and she was so shocked by his words that she almost couldn't think straight.

Alive? Alive and well?!

Did she hear it wrong?

What do you mean, still alive and well? ! !

"W-what do you mean, you said they're still alive? But, but aren't they cats? And, and it's been over a thousand years, they..."

Qiuyue's voice was trembling uncontrollably, her eyes were beginning to well up with tears and crimson, her words were full of disbelief. If she hadn't been holding little Fubao in her hands, she would have clenched her hands tightly.

Little Fubao looked at Qiuyue, who was both excited and incredulous, and quickly raised his little paws to hold her fingers, rubbing them and squeaking.

[No, no, sister, don't cry. They are really still alive and well. Really (?▽｀). ~]

Qiuyue's nose was so sore that she could hardly control it. She sniffed, suppressed the sourness in her eyes, and said in a slightly distorted voice: "Then, where are they now? What happened in the meantime? Why did they suddenly disappear? How could they have survived for a thousand years? Xiao Fubao, tell me quickly!"

Little Fubao rubbed his head against Qiuyue's fingers and blinked his eyes.

[Hmm... Sis, the situation here might be a bit complicated, and their current state might be very different from what you imagine_(:3」∠)_]

Qiuyue almost subconsciously became nervous, looking at it with slightly wide eyes and a hurried tone.

"Big difference? What do you mean? Are they no longer cats? Or have they become strange?!"

Normally, when Xiao Fubao heard someone asking in such a hurried tone, he would quickly give an explanation and response, but this time he was really a little embarrassed, and he didn't even know where to start explaining.

After all, those two cats have become completely different now, and they are even two different species.

Xiao Fubao's pause and hesitation for a few seconds made Qiuyue's heart tighten, and tears in her eyes flashed again. All kinds of bad ideas made her panic.

"Did they become zombie cats? Or mutated? They've survived for over a thousand years, so they're no longer normal cats, right? No, it's okay. Just tell me. I don't mind what they became! I just want to know where they are now and whether I can still see them."

When little Fubao heard that Qiuyue had already guessed the zombie mutation, he couldn't help but squeak and laugh. He thought for a moment and squeaked back in a measured tone.

[No, no, they're not zombie cats, and they haven't mutated. It's just that they've changed, uh... into a different species. But it's not a scary one. It's just that it might shock you, sis. (°ー°〃)...]

Hearing that it hadn't turned into a zombie cat and hadn't mutated, Qiuyue's nervous heart relaxed a little, but at the same time, she couldn't help but get a little anxious. She almost held Xiao Fubao in her arms and shook him hard to make him speak quickly: "Hey, Xiao Fubao, just say it directly. Don't tease me like this anymore. I'm going to die of anxiety!"

Seeing Qiuyue looking so anxious, Xiao Fubao didn't say it directly. He had already thought about it. Instead of saying it himself, it would be better to let Qiuyue find out by herself. She would definitely be surprised then, so he didn't want to ruin the surprise in advance.

[Ahem, well, sis, I won’t tell you for now. You’ll find out for yourself when the time comes. Trust me, Fubao, I’ll definitely be super surprised (*?▽｀*)～]

Qiuyue was stunned for a moment. She looked at Xiao Fubao and blinked several times. She never expected that it would not tell her.

"Ah? Why, why didn't you tell me? You said I would find them myself by then. Are they already around me?"

As she spoke, Qiuyue suddenly thought of something and took a deep breath. The words she said made Xiao Fubao and everyone who was looking at the screen almost choke on their saliva.

"Hiss—Little Fubao, you don't mean to say that Little Cotton and Little Pudding are Gulu and Guji, right?!!"

puff--

Tu Lu and Wu Mian, who were inexplicably named, suddenly started shaking, and the polluted black ball they were controlling was almost crushed. The others also had strange expressions on their faces. Zhang Haiqing and others who were next to them couldn't help but look at them again and again.

Hey, you know what, according to what Xiao Fubao said before, if it were a changed species, then it would really match.

Little Fubao almost choked.

[Squeak! No, no! It's not those two! I haven't met them yet. I'll have to wait until I meet them myself in the future, and then I'll recognize them naturally!]

Qiuyue was a little disappointed when she heard this and said, "Ah, so I haven't met them yet? I thought they were Gulu Guji, after all, they are also very well behaved."

[No, no, not them! ]

Xiao Fubao repeatedly shook his head in denial. Qiuyue sighed again and asked in confusion, "Why can't you tell me now?"

Little Fubao shifted his gaze slightly with a guilty look, and clenched his little paws together.

Because I feel that telling her will scare her. Instead of letting her be the bad rat, it’s better to let them face it themselves.

Another thing is, it actually... doesn't know where the two of them are...

[Ahem! Don't ask me, you two will meet again sooner or later. When you do, I'll know why (シ_ _)シ～]

Xiao Fubao lowered his head and rubbed Qiuyue's hand, deciding to divert her attention first.

Besides asking them, don't you want to ask others? For example, Zhang Shouxu and the others?

It was obvious that Little Fubao knew how to control his beloved sister. Qiuyue's attention was almost immediately drawn to him. She subconsciously said, "Ah... yes! I want to know about their news, too. Little Fubao, tell me about it."

Little Fubao laughed secretly, and then squeaked very seriously.

[Well, since you want to know about them, I'll just tell you straight away, Little Fubao.]

Having said that, Xiao Fubao paused for a moment before continuing.

They're doing well now, much better than they were a thousand years ago. Dozens of them are currently scattered around the world, and they'll be back soon. Little Fubao, I've just used up all my energy, so I can't teleport them back for now. So, I'll just wait patiently for a few days. Maybe once this unique time is up, they'll be back. (? ▽ ` )ノ～)

Hearing that they were all fine, Qiuyue felt relieved. She nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for a few days. I'll accompany Jinshan and the others here to recuperate first."

However, just as she finished speaking, Qiuyue suddenly remembered something, and her expression suddenly became very serious: "Speaking of Jinshan and the others, Xiao Fubao, do you know why they became so weak before? They almost died! And they turned into children, do you know who did it?"

Little Fubao's whole body stiffened, and the hair all over his body seemed to be about to explode.

Oh no, why are you asking here?

「Uh, this──」

Xiao Fubao's tone seemed quite calm, but he was actually screaming wildly in his heart, and the whole group was filled with shouts.

Group leader Xiao Fubao: Quick, quick, help me think of how to explain it! !

Group leader Xiao Fubao: My sister still doesn’t know they are ghosts, just like my sister doesn’t know you are not alive now. If I tell her, she will definitely be upset! !

Group leader Xiao Fubao: Please help me think about how to respond! !

Group leader Xiao Fubao: Come up with a reasonable excuse! !

Zhang Haike and others who were asked this question felt their whole bodies tense and their scalps tingled, and everyone's brains started working at full speed almost immediately.

Zhang Haike: Uh, tell A Ling that they met the Wang family?

Zhang Haiqing: No, baby said before that they are immortals. In her opinion, they are more powerful than ordinary people. How could they be forced to death by the Wang family?

Zhang Haixia: Then tell the baby about its existence?

Zhang Rishan: No way! Wouldn't that just trigger the pollution in her body to explode?

Zhang Haixia: Oh yes, tsk!
