The cat was still in the air, but a pair of dirty little hands grabbed the cat directly. A little beggar with a tattered body and a greasy face hugged the cat and said:

"Xiao Mi, remember we are begging, not robbing. We can only eat when someone gives it to us. We must not steal anything to eat."

Although the little beggar was down and out, he looked very ambitious. Xiao Jiang smiled and continued eating. He took a big sip of wine and looked at the little beggar and said:

"There are many ambitious people, but there are very few people who don't care if their own bones are destroyed and their cultivation is wiped out."

The little beggar stiffened and looked at Xiao Jiang and said:

"Young Master doesn't look like someone who eats street food."

Xiao Jiang said quietly:

"You weren't originally a beggar on the street."

The little beggar hugged the cat and bowed to Xiao Jiang and said:

"Master, what do you have to say?"

Xiao Jiang said:

"I'm just passing by. I'm not interested in your origins. I'm just watching this cat's mouth for fun. As for your personality, it will only bring you trouble. You can go and have fun by yourself. I have other things to do."

The little beggar hugged the cat and turned around to leave. Xiao Jiang was still squatting on the ground eating grilled fish. Xiao Bai's voice came in his ear and said:

"Husband, you've been running around since you saw the five dead places, but if this mysterious place doesn't appear, it won't appear. How long should we wait?"

Xiao Jiang threw the gnawed fish bones aside and said:

"Who knows, I have studied this Five Elements Killing Formation, based on the Five Elements of the entire continent, and also introduced the power of the Five Elements of Chaos into it. It is so powerful that even the powerful ones cannot break into it.

It is said that this is a killing array, which is theoretically focused on killing, but it turns out that this killing array is mainly aimed at the outside world, as if it is guarding against some powerful force.

If it is aimed at the will of the great avenue, this formation is not enough. If it is aimed at the power of this world, then it should not be facing the outside. It is very weird and confusing."

Xiaobai said:

"Yes, no matter how I calculate it, I can't figure out the meaning of this formation. It protects against the outside world, but it is not powerful and boundless. What is the purpose of setting it up in the world?"

Xiao Jiang stood up and walked towards the edge of the city. The population of this small border town was only 70,000 to 80,000, and the number of practitioners was no more than a thousand. There was not even a single immortal in the entire city, but there were various defensive formations on the walls of the nearby large city.

, can resist the attacks of a large number of strange beasts.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the city, Xiao Jiang stopped and saw one city guard kicking a tabby cat, and another city guard whipping the little beggar with an iron rod in his hand.

The little beggar curled up on the ground and kept screaming, but it attracted indifferent laughter from other onlookers. Xiao Jiang listened and realized that it was the little greedy cat who was causing trouble again. This guy saw the roast chicken in the hand of the city guard captain and grabbed it.

After being caught and trampled by the city guard, the little beggar tried to save the cat, but was beaten violently.

Xiao Jiang shook his head. From the moment he saw the little beggar, Xiao Jiang knew that he would be unlucky because of the little greedy cat. In a world where the law of the jungle is the eternal law, it is a good thing to have a kind heart, but if the kindness is left unchecked, it will be unlucky.

It will be bad luck.

That little greedy cat is a very greedy and wild cat. This kind of cat is the most difficult to manage. It will steal and rob even the food from its owner, let alone food from other people's hands.

Among the people, this kind of cat is the most annoying. Even the owner has to beat it with a stick. It is a waste cat that is not kept if possible. Even if it can catch mice again, it is still a waste, because it is more destructive to one's own house than mice.

This little beggar had a kind heart and adopted such a useless cat. If he just raised it, it would be nothing. If he wanted to keep the cat after the cat caused trouble, it might be useful in the ordinary world, but here he could only be taught a lesson.

Seeing that the little beggar was beaten to the point of dying, the city guards had no intention of stopping. In their opinion, there is generally no need to keep this useless cat and useless person. If they are kept, they will annoy other people and kill them.

Out of sight and out of mind.

"despair."

Xiao Jiang didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but the little beggar was pitiful, and it wasn't worth giving up his life for a cat. With a flick of his finger, the little beggar evaporated.

He generally disappeared. When the frightened eyes of the city guard appeared, Xiao Jiang had already taken the little beggar to a medium-sized city thousands of miles away.

Looking at the beggar who had more than a dozen broken limbs and few intact parts of his body, Xiao Jiang flicked his fingers and the injuries on the beggar slowly recovered. He woke up with an ugh and sat up. Seeing Xiao Jiang, he stood up as if he understood something.

Saluting:

"Thank you sir for the rescue. Where is my cat?"

Xiao Jiang took out a cigarette and lit it and said:

"He's already been kicked to death."

"What? My cat... it, it just died like this? It was my only friend... my only friend..."

The little beggar squatted down with tears in his eyes as he spoke. Xiao Jiang said disapprovingly:

"Your friend? This is just a cat after all. It only brings you the disaster of killing, but you regard it as a friend. With your character, if someone treats you better, I guess you are willing to put your innocence

You and the future are given to the other party without any reservation. Even if the other party deceives you, plays with you, betrays you or even harms you, you feel that it is the right thing to do.

I don’t know if you are stupid or stupid? Looking at your impenitent character, you deserve to have your foundation and bloodline destroyed. There are limits to human kindness and requirements. There must be a certain measure in dealing with others.

Rational.

For a greedy cat that can only bring crisis, you actually don't care about your own life. It's really tiring for you to live like this. If I had known, I wouldn't have had to rescue you."

The little beggar didn't seem to care about Xiao Jiang's contempt for him. He sat down on the ground with tears in his eyes and said:

"If it weren't for it, I would have died at home, so I always carry it with me, even if it always causes trouble.

Young Master, I know that my abilities are limited, and I don’t want to be a good person, but it is the only thing that I can still care about in this world. Without it, I don’t know what the meaning of life is.”

Xiao Jiang sneered and said:

"What about yourself? Have you never considered restoring your own strength and restoring your own identity?"

The little beggar shook his head and stood up and said:

"Me...actually, I really deserved this, so I never thought about recovering myself. Back then, I thought I was extremely talented and proud, and my cultivation was advancing by leaps and bounds, so I did things rampantly and ruthlessly. I didn't take my peers or even my brothers and sisters seriously, so in the end I did

Do something treacherous and unethical.

Later, my father cut off my foundation and drained my blood out of anger. Then I realized that without my strength, I was nothing. When my classmates and relatives looked at me with hatred, I knew that everything was false and any bad deeds would be punished.

.

Now that my cat has left me, my life has no meaning..."
