The cat's four paws are white, contrasting with the surrounding colors, making it look like it's wearing gloves, which is quite adorable.

Lin Mushi was slightly taken aback, then quickly covered her mouth to keep herself from making any sound, her eyes filled with happiness as she watched the pine syrup fall.

Songtang saw her too, of course.

It was initially happy, but its mood suddenly turned extremely heavy when its gaze fell on Gu Yuqiu and it noticed the injuries in its comrade's body.

It landed on Lin Mushi's lap, but instead of lying down in the girl's arms as it had done in the past, it looked at Gu Yuqiu nervously and meowed a few times.

—How are you? Are you alright?

Gu Yuqiu didn't open her eyes and casually said, "Anyway, we won't die."

Songtang finally breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer so nervous.

Gu Yuqiu remained silent for a long time, then opened her eyes, turned her head to look at it earnestly, and said, "Thank you for your hard work today, and for everything before."

Cats are often not affectionate towards humans.

Many times, she didn't understand why Songtang always stood by her side, persisting no matter what dangers they faced.

This is a very puzzling thing.

She thought about this for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. She considered asking Songtang why, but in the end she didn't say anything, feeling that it would be wrong to ask.

Songtang shook her head nonchalantly, then meowed smugly, indicating that these were all minor matters. You are my only comrade-in-arms, and as long as you are safe, that's all that matters.

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

Hearing this, Songtang finally felt relieved and began to lick her wounds.

Lin Mushi then noticed the wounds hidden under the fur, with many nails broken. Feeling very sorry for it, she quickly took it into her arms and treated its wounds.

The wound gradually healed.

No more pain.

Songtang felt very comfortable being touched, her eyes slowly narrowed, and she let out a low purring sound.

Soon, it fell asleep.

Lin Mushi gently stroked it, looked up at Gu Yuqiu, and asked in a low voice, "What do we do now?"

Gu Yuqiu glanced at her.

Lin Mushi frowned slightly, wondering what this meant.

Logically speaking, the matter should have been settled by now, right?

The original will has been shattered by her, almost all of them have died, and only a very few have fallen into a deep sleep.

What other changes could possibly occur now?

She looked at the chair where Gu Yuqiu was sitting, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Are we going to stay here?"

Gu Yuqiu was speechless and simply hummed in agreement.

Second tone.

The meaning of "question".

Lin Mushi looked at her, her eyes full of confusion.

"You really are..."

Gu Yuqiu looked into her eyes with an idiotic expression and said irritably, "I'm a cripple now. If you sit here and don't leave, what am I supposed to do?"

Lin Mushi was slightly taken aback, completely unexpected that this was the case.

To be precise, she had never thought in that direction; she only assumed that Gu Yuqiu would stay on the battlefield and not leave...

It was a feeling of deep emotion, or perhaps some other reason.

She felt a little guilty and wanted to pick Gu Yuqiu up, but then she realized that Songtang was still in her arms, and she didn't know what to do.

Gu Yuqiu finally couldn't hold back any longer, let out a long sigh, and looked at her with a headache, saying, "How could I have fallen for you?"

"We need to make this clear."

Lin Mushi cared a lot about this issue. She stared at her with wide eyes, her expression serious, and said solemnly, "I have never forced you. You made the choice, and I am not responsible for it!"

Gu Yuqiu sighed again, shook her head slightly, and remained silent.

This kind of inexplicable behavior has always been what Lin Mushi hates the most.

She opened her mouth slightly, about to grumble a few words, when she suddenly remembered that Gu Yuqiu was still a patient. She could only bite her lower lip awkwardly, her eyes filled with resentment, and she remained silent.

These feelings of resentment are not true hatred, but rather a very complex emotion.

More like a lovers' petty squabble?

"Pick me up."

Gu Yuqiu's tone was matter-of-fact.

Lin Mushi frowned slightly, looked down at the pine candy in her arms, and asked, "What about the cat?"

Her gaze shifted slightly, landing on Gu Yuqiu's waist, on the still intact belt, and a very interesting idea popped into her head.

—Wouldn't it be fun if she lifted her up by her belt?

"if……"

Gu Yuqiu looked at her expressionlessly and said, "You can try if you want to die."

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "You know all about this now," and coughed, somewhat awkwardly changing the subject: "Then I'll put the pine nut on... my head, so I can hug you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuqiu was at a loss for words.

She never imagined that such a foolish solution could exist.

She thought about it very carefully and realized that she must have been hallucinating not long ago, actually believing that Lin Mushi could become smarter.

This is clearly the most impossible thing in the world.

"You have another objection?"

Seeing her silence, Lin Mushi wondered what she was still hesitating about, and raised an eyebrow to ask, "What exactly do you want?"

Gu Yuqiu still didn't want to speak, so she closed her eyes, which was her way of acquiescing.

Out of sight, out of mind.

She had never accepted this principle before, but now she can understand it and is willing to comprehend it.

Lin Mushi still didn't understand what she was thinking, so he simply put the cat on his head, picked her up, and slowly walked towards the outside of the ruins.

This road is not short; it's quite a distance, about five kilometers.

For extraordinary individuals like them, it was certainly not a long time; it was merely a matter of a thought.

However, Lin Mushi slowed down.

She had never seen such scenery before; the ruins under the gloomy sky of the virtual realm possessed a unique, decadent beauty.

Far, far away, there was a very faint light.

That should be the last ray of sunlight in this apocalypse.

Gu Yuqiu didn't care about any of that. He found a comfortable position, leaned his head against her chest, and naturally closed his eyes, enjoying the rare warmth in the virtual world.

Lin Mushi suddenly asked, "What will happen here in the end?"

Gu Yuqiu's voice was very lazy: "Is that all?"

Lin Mushi sighed and said helplessly, "Couldn't you have explained things more clearly?"

"lazy."

Gu Yuqiu retorted confidently, "Besides, what does this have to do with you?"

Lin Mushi had been rejected by her too many times and was no longer bothered. She said, "It shouldn't matter much. It's mainly out of curiosity, and besides, this is the first time I've completed the Void Realm transformation."

"No."

"what?"

"Strictly speaking, this is not the first time."

"That can't be right. How could something like this be covered up? Don't treat me like an idiot."

Gu Yuqiu opened her eyes, looked at her and said, "So you really are still that stupid."

Lin Mushi took a deep breath, thinking to herself, "You're a patient now, I'll get angry with you another day." She forced a smile and said, "Could you please explain yourself more clearly?"

Gu Yuqiu knew exactly what she was thinking and found it somewhat amusing, saying, "Because I've done it before."

Lin Mushi was stunned.

She knew very well what kind of person Gu Yuqiu had been in the past.

Countless documents and news reports clearly record the traces left in this world by the person we remember.

Those marks are of slaughter, destruction, and unbridled ruthlessness.

But she was certain that there had been no massacres there.

"That happened after I became a god."

Gu Yuqiu didn't care what she was thinking and casually said, "I'm very curious about what 'virtual realm transformation' is all about. When my soul was wandering the universe, I randomly chose a planet to try it out..."

Lin Mushi didn't let him finish his sentence. His eyes widened and his mouth gaped open: "Wait...wait a minute, what's with this 'planet' thing?"

Gu Yuqiu said calmly, "The meaning you understand."

Before Lin Mushi could continue to be shocked, her voice became more disdainful as she said, "Only by conducting experiments on planets would the results be meaningful to us."

Lin Mushi was speechless, wondering what kind of nonsense this was, and couldn't help but say, "But aren't we still living on Earth?"

She knew she was wrong as soon as she finished speaking.

To her surprise, Gu Yuqiu wasn't angry this time.

There is one thing you must understand, and you must never forget.
