Whoever dotes on me will be the best in the world

The blood-colored cage glowed with a faint red light, covering the kitten's surroundings.

Nie Zhen held the cat firmly with one hand outstretched, and carefully stroked the kitten's forehead with the other hand.

Zhu Ming sat aside and observed for a while, then suddenly pushed the wheelchair close to Nie Zhen with a solemn expression, raised his hand to touch the cage that was useless to Nie Zhen, and then touched a cold object without any surprise, and his hand was also blocked. Outside, the kitten in the cage cannot be touched at all.

Chang Le also noticed this phenomenon, and immediately let out a "huh", walked over and touched it tentatively, but was also stopped by the cage.She was stunned and said: "This thing... looks like a real cage, why can't Brother Rui touch it?"

Zhu Ming looked at Nie Zhen, "Does the lord feel unwell? Did he look like this when he brought the cat back last night?"

Nie Zhen nodded, "I'm fine. This curse doesn't seem to work on me."

Zhu Ming nodded in agreement, "That's true. Although the blood curse last night was drawn with my blood, I still need to use mana to touch the holy cat in it. The prince is not a person who cultivates / Taoism / Buddha. It is indeed a miracle to be able to ignore the obstruction of the blood curse. In this way, it will be much more convenient for the prince to take care of Xiao Luomo."

Nie Zhen looked down at the kitten, and felt the cat in his palm unconsciously rubbing its furry head against his palm, making a thin and comfortable purring sound from its throat, the warm and soft touch reached the bottom of his heart, and its eyebrows and eyes were soft A few points.

Zhu Ming also found that the cat, which was curled up and trembling, was sleeping very peacefully at the moment, and finally smiled with relief, "It seems that the blood curse has successfully worked."

Nie Zhen's expression was rare and gentle without danger. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Has the national teacher prepared for the blood contract?"

Hearing this, Zhu Ming stopped smiling, and fidgeted a little, and moved the wheelchair back a certain distance, until he was sure that the other party could no longer pick him up by pinching his neck and strangle him to death, then he said seriously: "The blood contract must be voluntary by both parties , that is to say, it can only be carried out when the holy cat is awake, but the uncle said..."

Zhu Ming hesitated for a while, "Uncle Shi said that the holy cat is now in a coma, unless the prince wakes it up."

"How does the national teacher want me to wake up the cat?" Nie Zhen smiled, "It's in a coma now, not in a deep sleep."

"That's why we need a special method." Zhu Ming bit the bullet and said, "In ancient times, there were spirits who specialize in sucking/human/essence/blood, and Xiao Luomo's physique is no different from monsters in some respects. If the prince doesn't mind... …Just feed blood every day. As for how much to feed, it depends on the food intake of the holy cat.”

"How did this happen?" Chang Le raised his eyebrows, "Twice a day is enough. If things go on like this, wouldn't this black cat have to rely on the blood of Brother Wang to feed it? There is no impenetrable wall in the world. The emperor knows, Xiao Luomo will definitely be identified as a demon and burned to death. How can anyone feed on blood?"

"The princess is thinking about it." As soon as Princess Changle finished speaking, Zhu Ming's face turned red instantly, and he explained hesitantly, "This is not the other, the essence and blood... don't have to... I think the prince understands what Zhu Ming means. .”

Nie Zhen lowered his eyes and smiled, and said after consideration, "There is no need for the national teacher to worry too much. This king knows what to do in the future. If Mao Mao is willing, we will get married."

Chang Le stared blankly at the two of them playing dumb, but couldn't figure out what was going on, so he could only suppress his doubts.

When everything was ready, Nie Zhen cut his finger open with a dagger, then carefully pinched Xiao Luomo's mouth open, and put his bleeding finger inside.

The sleepy black cat turned its head a little uncomfortable at first, and its limp paws also weakly kicked the man's palm. As it struggled, more blood oozed from the fingers. It seemed that it had tasted the sweetness. The kitten gently He moved his nose, licked the finger in his mouth with his warm tongue, and settled down. The cat's paw pawed at the finger, hugging it contentedly and slowly licking it.

The sharp teeth hit the fingertips, and there was a slight tingling from the humidity/heat. Nie Zhen watched without changing his face, and only gently stroked the kitten when it kicked its legs coquettishly.

When the kitten started rubbing its head and struggling to wake up, Nie Zhen took out his fingers. He took the handkerchief that Chang Le handed over and wrapped his fingers casually, staring at Xiao Luomo.

Zhu Ming also sat up nervously.

The jet-black kitten opened its mouth and let out a slow cry, the voice was soft and thin, and then it tried to turn over in the man's hand, finally broke free from the dark dream, and opened its eyes ignorantly.

"Meow meow Nie Zhen?"

The corners of Nie Zhen's lips curled up slightly, watching the kitten unsteadily get up and sit in his palm, then tilted its head and let out a dependent cry.

"I want to hug." He heard his cat acting like a baby, and there was even a hint of aggrieved and pitiful in the cry.

Yes, it is indeed wronged, and it is normal to lose its temper.

"How to hug? Is the cat uncomfortable?" Nie Zhen asked softly, holding the kitten instead of holding the cat on his arm.

Little Luo Mo meowed in dissatisfaction, and patted the man's chest with his paw, the meaning was obvious.

"Sleep in it."

Usually, Nie Zhen hides it in the skirt of his clothes. Although it somewhat destroys the majestic and handsome image of the man, it is indeed the most comfortable. Who makes it small.

It's just that Nie Zhen obviously didn't intend to follow it this time. He rubbed the white hair on its forehead with his fingers, and the man whispered, "Aside from hugging, cats have nothing to say to me?"

Little Luomo immediately lowered his head and buried it, and whispered, "You can't scold me, and you can't beat me either."

"Why do you think this king will want to beat you up?" Nie Zhen chuckled, gently pinching the kitten's tail.

"..." Xiao Luomo simply pulled back his tail and hid it under his body, saying honestly, "Because I got into trouble."

Before saving people, it swore to tell Nie Zhen that it was in no danger at all, but it was deceiving itself. At that time, there was no second choice. Even if it told Nie Zhen about Zhu Ming's situation, the man could do nothing. After all, Nie Zhen is a god of war, not a god. No one is omnipotent, he may be invincible in marching and fighting, but it does not mean that he is also good at medicine.So Xiao Luomo believed that its choice was not wrong, but lying was also a fact.

It was wrong to lie, and it was wrong to worry Nie Zhen.

"When did Maomao get into trouble?" Nie Zhen didn't look angry, and still looked gentle and amiable, "If it weren't for Maomao, the national teacher might not be able to survive it long ago. You saved people and acted bravely... you should be praised .”

But that's not what you give me the feeling...

Such Nie Zhen, who is "understanding" and "supporting" his righteous actions...is much more terrifying than the one who got angry directly before.Obviously in the past Nie Zhen would persistently question him, but this time it was a bit abnormal.

Xiao Luomo raised his head and admitted his mistake pitifully, "I was wrong."

However, the man didn't seem to want to continue this topic. His long and narrow eyes were as deep as an ancient well, and the hidden emotions kept surging, and finally slowly settled down. Only a blood contract can heal you, are you willing?"

Xiao Luomo let go of the paws holding his head suspiciously, sat up and tilted his head to look at Nie Zhen, and said blankly, "What blood contract?"

"A soul contract with a shared lifespan." Nie Zhen explained lightly, "Maomao and I will age on the same day and the same year, so that I won't be lonely, do you think so?"

Xiao Luomo digested for a while and understood, then slowly shook his head.

It knows that it won't live long, isn't this contract just to let Nie Zhen continue its life in disguise?Not at all.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, and I have nothing to do with it. Don't ruin yourself just because you care about me."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Nie Zhen's face disappeared.For the first time at night, he stared into Xiao Luomo's eyes without a smile, and didn't speak for a long time.

The kitten was a little scared.It patted Nie Zhen's hand with its paw, and whispered, "Are you angry?"

"Maomao thinks... this king can still live in peace without you by his side?" Nie Zhen asked in a low voice, his tone calm.

His voice was hoarse and even a little harsh.

Xiao Luomo was at a loss for what to do when he heard it.

It suddenly realized how unfair everything that happened to Nie Zhen was.

It went to save Zhu Ming, it went to save the mission, it was because it knew that it had to work hard, and it would be possible to stay with Nie Zhen if it worked hard, even if it failed, it would not really die, it just left this world That's all.

But Nie Zhen didn't know.He didn't know why his cat would deceive him to save people and die. He didn't know why his cat was fine one hour, but suddenly died the next hour?He didn't even understand why he was so powerful and covered the sky with one hand, but he was helpless when facing his cat.

Its departure is just a new beginning, and it will be forgotten soon, but this is a farewell to Nie Zhen.

It is true that everything Xiao Luomo did was for Nie Zhen, and there was nothing wrong with it.But the one who was left behind was Nie Zhen.

It is said in the world that the ignorant are fearless, and Nie Zhen, who knows nothing, is not happy. On the contrary, because he cherishes too much, he is restrained in everything, lest he make a wrong step and lose the cat completely.

Unhappy is he who is left behind and remembers everything.

Xiao Luomo suddenly remembered the words he had heard.

The master bedroom was unusually quiet. Zhu Ming and Princess Changle looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all kept silent by coincidence.

Nie Zhen's appearance, in their view, was impossible to appear in a lifetime, but now it appeared.

Seeing that the kitten didn't speak for a long time, it seemed that he was frightened by him. Nie Zhen softened his brows and eyes, sat down with the cat in his arms, and said in a low voice, "Cats are always the most obedient, aren't they? How about listening to me this time? As long as you Nod, I promise you anything."

Life and death are always the hardest things to accept.

He is willing to give everything, as long as Xiao Luomo is willing to live with him.

"Meow, I actually have a lot of things that I didn't tell you." After a while, Xiao Luomo spoke softly. "I was born knowing those things, but I was restricted from telling you."

"It's okay." Nie Zhen coaxed hoarsely, "I don't need Maomao to be honest, as long as you live."

"I always say I'm a good cat, but I'm also lying. I want to help you, but you feel even more sad because of me." Xiao Luomo rubbed his small head against Nie Zhen's arm in frustration. "Nie Zhen, it will be very hard for you to continue raising me."

It's really hard work, and you have to worry about it suddenly going away one day, you have to endure deception, accept its dishonesty and background, you have to be criticized by the world, you have to help it complete its tasks, and you have to pamper it. It cannot be sloppy in the slightest.Nie Zhen is probably the hardest shit shoveler in the world.

"However, if you are not afraid of hardship, I will also treat you as the best cat." Xiao Luomo tilted his head and said seriously.

Nie Zhen frowned, and stared at it for a long time without saying a word. After seeing the kitten shrinking its tail nervously, he said softly, "Maomao agreed, but there is no chance to go back on it."

It is too late to repent.

Xiao Luomo hid her tail, looked at the man's face, and was a little nervous by the man's scorching gaze, so she nodded slightly.

The man finally laughed lowly, he hugged it close as if he wanted to kiss it, but the next moment he realized that there was an outsider in the room, he stopped his movements restrainedly, but his expression was not very good-looking.

Zhu Ming and Chang Le were fascinated by the interaction between one person and one cat, but they were awakened by Nie Zhen's cold glance.

Smiling awkwardly, Zhu Ming took the initiative, "It seems that the holy cat has agreed, then..." He stretched out his hand, "Please ask the prince and the cat to extend their left hands together. The blood contract is just a simple ceremony. It will have to wait until the ... ahem ... when the time is right for it to be fully effective."

Little Luo Mo looked at Zhu Ming suspiciously, obediently put his paws on the back of Nie Zhen's hand, and then watched in amazement as Zhu Ming painted complex patterns on the back of their hands with two fingers dipped in talisman water. Pale golden lines appeared, and for a moment it even saw the phoenix on the pattern gently rubbing their necks together, before disappearing in the blink of an eye.

As the last familiar Taotie pattern was drawn, a faint golden light illuminated the surroundings, and then slowly sank into the backs of their hands.

Zhu Ming sat back in the wheelchair tiredly, and said happily, "It's finally done."

Xiao Luomo meowed at him gratefully, her round blue pupils were clear and clean, she looked up at Nie Zhen relyingly, and was gently rubbed on the forehead by the man.

Zhu Ming looked a little greedy. He moved his fingers, and couldn't help but focus on the little white hair on the kitten's forehead. Thinking that Xiao Luomo got the white hair because he saved him, he couldn't control it. I can't stop thinking about petting the cat.

It's just that when he had this thought, Nie Zhen smiled and looked at him. His gentle gaze made his heart shudder, so he could only stammer his farewell, and left with Chang Le who couldn't help laughing.

***

The carriage to go back was already ready, Zhu Ming and Chang Le got into the carriage, pouring tea and snacks for her considerately.

Chang Le didn't refuse, just looked at him and smiled, "I think of Ben Gong now? Just now, someone watched cats so much that they almost lost their souls, that greedy... those who don't know think that the national teacher is watching What a peerless beauty."

"Princess misunderstood." Zhu Ming said anxiously when he heard the words, "I just thought of the fact that I was rescued before... To be honest, Zhu Ming predicted the arrival of the holy cat since he was a child. After all these years of waiting, it is inevitable that he will be obsessed. The princess laughed."

"Oh?" Chang Le picked up the pastry and said, "It was prophesied when I was young? It seems that the ability of the national teacher is not inferior to the old national teacher, and I really saw the right person. It's just... that black cat is very different from you It's not because of your relatives, why did you wait so long, with this skill, it's better to calculate the marriage, in case the national teacher doesn't like me one day, and then find another girl, don't you think so?"

"Why did the princess say that?" Zhu Ming frowned and said firmly, "In this life, Zhu Ming has only fallen in love with the princess. If there is any deception, it will not be struck by thunder that day..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Before she finished speaking, Princess Changle had reached out her hand to cover Zhu Ming's lips, and said angrily, "If you like it, you will like it, why do you swear? Do you think I need you to swear to believe you? I just admitted that you are my future son-in-law, why are you still so clueless?"

"Princess..." Zhu Ming's eyes widened in astonishment, and when he realized it, he was ecstatic for a while, but his mouth was covered after he just said two words.

"You and I are already like this, and you are still called a princess? Why don't I call you a national teacher in the future." Chang Le gave him a dissatisfied look.

"It's my minister... No, it's my fault." Zhu Ming quickly changed his words, seeing that Princess Changle didn't look angry, he was short of breath, squeezed his sweaty hands, and couldn't speak nervously for a moment, hesitating After a long time, he took a deep breath and said cautiously:

"So, is Le'er really willing to marry me?"

Princess Changle glanced at him and snorted softly, but her delicate face couldn't stop blushing. "I didn't marry you as my wife, it's clearly you who became my son-in-law."

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Ming stretched out his hand and embraced the delicate woman in front of him, excited, "It's all the same, as long as Le'er is willing to stay with me, you can do whatever you want."

Princess Changle pursed her lips and smiled, raised her hand to gently hug the man back, and closed her eyes.

The two embraced each other naturally, silently, only feeling that the years are quiet.

After a while, Zhu Ming let go of the woman in his arms, and said hesitantly, "Le'er, although you have accepted me, there is one thing I still want to be honest with you. Do you still remember what I said in the hall when the holy cat first appeared?" At that time, I said that the holy cat was inauspicious, but I was actually lying. I made such a decision just to bring the cat back to the National Teacher’s Mansion. , I feel unwilling; secondly, it is because of you."

"Why is it because of me?" Princess Changle smiled coquettishly, "Why don't you say it's because you like being a cat slave? As a national teacher, you still lie in public, are you ashamed?"

"No. I'm not a cat lover. It's just because I knew that the holy cat has a special physique and has the ability to defy the sky. Before that, you didn't like me. I pursued you many times, but all failed. Daqing The people all say that the new national teacher is incompetent, how can I be reconciled? The holy cat is my only chance to fight back. It's just that I never thought that Prince Rui also took a fancy to that cat, and what happened afterwards...you already know it. "

"Fool." Princess Changle poked Zhu Ming's forehead with her finger, "How old are you now? You can't wait to become famous. Why don't you look at my brother Wang? He has suffered more than you , Still overcome all difficulties and make achievements. No matter how miraculous that cat is, so what? Can it help you for the rest of your life? Is it willing to help? If everything is just for peace of mind and comfort, what kind of man are you? I never thought you were not Why do you give up on yourself when you are motivated? You don’t think about making progress, but want to take shortcuts. If everyone is like you, wouldn’t that cat be in bad luck?”

Zhu Ming was ashamed by Chang Le's words, and after a while he said emphatically, "What Le'er said today, Zhu Ming will definitely remember it all his life."

"Do you really understand or are you just comforting me?" Chang Le regretted a little, and said softly, "I've always spoken badly, sometimes it's unavoidable..."

"Le'er thinks too much." Zhu Ming hugged him tightly, "I'm not a person who doesn't know right from wrong. There is no one in this world whose words are more useful than yours."

"Then I'll pretend you're not angry." Chang Le smiled mischievously, "Since you've told me a secret, I'll tell you one too. Do you know that Concubine Yu is not about Yan Yu?"

Zhu Ming nodded and said, "Xiao Luomo has already told me about this. Could it be that Le'er minds? I can swear that I have absolutely no wrong thoughts about Concubine Yu."

"I don't doubt you. You have explained the matter of Concubine Yu to me many times before. I, Changle, am not such a stingy person. What I want to mention today is the real Yan Yu. Concubine Yu's real name is Yan Qingqing, so now Hu The daughter of the minister's mansion is Yan Yu. How do you plan to deal with it?"

"You mean Yu'er?" Zhu Ming wondered, "Yu'er and I didn't have a marriage contract back then, but at that time... I was young and ignorant, Yu'er made other friends, and I only had her as a friend, so I felt jealous ,Think……"

"Thought you admired her?" Chang Le said with a smile, "I questioned Ying Qi before. Back then you wrote love poems to give to her. Didn't you write a letter to Concubine Yu a while ago? Why, don't you recite it to me?"
