Chapter Seventy-Five: The Price is Betraying You

  It wasn't until I finally saw the elegant cat that I realized I was almost at the center of the jungle.

  The elegant cat looked around cautiously before slowly digging into the soft mud beneath its paws.

  Tracker? Intercom? Or something else?

  Knitted her eyebrows elegantly and thought of n possibilities in her mind.

  "What is elegant cat doing?"

  Dante, who followed behind, hid behind her and asked in a low voice.

  How could she possibly know!

  He gave her a elegant glance and didn't even bother to answer, please don't ask such stupid and meaningless questions again, okay?

  But she's really strange, really weird!

  Dear elegant cat... just how deep is that hole you dug?

  Just as her eyeballs were about to pop out, Elegant Cat finally stopped moving and after a long time, dug out a stone from the pit.

  Moonstone?

  Elegance is remembered.

  She saw the elegant cat for the first time and coincidentally saw this stone too. So after messing around for half a day, is it because the elegant cat was nostalgic, so she couldn't bear to part with that stone? What kind of idiotic thing did she do in the end!!!!!!

  Watching the elegant cat happily rub against the stone, the elegant mouth twitched and started to walk back and forth. Forget it, don't mind, after all, this kind of stupid thing is not the first time, get used to it, get used to it...

  What's going on? Looking at Dante's pale face like tree bark, he was completely bewildered.

  "What's the Elegant Cat hiding the Moonstone for?" He followed her footsteps, asking tentatively.

  How could she possibly know!

  "You'd better shut up if you don't want to be scolded." She glared at him fiercely, then quickly quickened her pace, it's better to go back before the elegant cat finds out, lest some unnecessary misunderstanding is triggered.

  Hey, elegant one, what have I done wrong this time?

  The elegant cat glanced at the two people who had already left with the corner of its eye, and at the same time, the Moonstone under its feet suddenly emitted a deep and mysterious glow.

  “koro。”

  As if reporting something, the elegant cat's expression didn't have a hint of smile.

  "Is the next stop Feiyun City..."

  The moonstone seemed to have a feeling, and it transmitted a familiar voice.

  "Elegant cat, you're doing great. Well, if the plan is completed, I'll return your freedom, and also that partner of yours, so absolutely no failure allowed, you know?"

  “……koro！”

  Actually, there's little hope, but... because it's its partner, so even if the hope is slim, it absolutely can't be given up on, even if the cost is to betray the person who trusts itself.

  "Alright. Whatever you do, don't overdo it, or if I'm in a bad mood, I might just change my mind." The half-joking tone made Elegant Cat feel uneasy.

  "Wait!" The elegant cat hastily shook its head. It absolutely wouldn't, absolutely, absolutely wouldn't do anything extra. So, just wait a bit longer, just wait a bit longer and that's all.

  "So I'll be waiting for your good news then."

  The moonstone returned to its former appearance in an instant, and after the surroundings quieted down, the elegant cat also relaxed.

  When we returned to our resting place, everyone was already packed and ready to go. Yu Ya saw it and immediately showed a big smile, "We're leaving now."

  It's just that smile...

  At that time, that smile brought a lot of warmth and hope.

  It was like a dazzling light that suddenly burst into the bottomless darkness, illuminating everything around it in an instant.

  It shook its mind, you must understand, right? For the sake of companions, anything can be done, you must understand... So sorry, I'm just, for the sake of saving my companion, and the price is, having to betray you.

  But is this really right?

  Forever losing her smile, whether it can be saved or not is also an unknown thing.

  "Elegant cat, what are you doing? Hurry up and let's leave before it gets dark in the forest." Elegant, who was walking ahead, waved at it with a smile.

  "Come on." The elegant cat quickly followed up.

  It's as if you have many companions by your side, but I only have it.

  So forgive me, I have to do this.
