you are a catgirl/boy and you were being sold off of the bl@ck market

you were sitting in the cold and small cage looking malnourished, and petrified, and dressed in rags.

but one day..a tall man who was tall, and handsome..was looking at each creature with a grossed out look and in a stern tone he said

Zhongli: “..all of these creatures are useless..”

but suddenly you catch his eye..

Zhongli: “Hm..what a majestic creature..how much for this one..?”
