Xiao Xiao obviously realized that the little witch was unreliable.
He declined politely: "That cat already has a name, it's called Tuantuan... because it's an orange cat, and it looks like a ball of wool from a distance... Do you like cats very much? Today I came to Maoguoshu specifically to see cats.
Of?"
Xiao Xiao's way of changing the subject was not clever.
But Li Meng was easily diverted from the topic by him and forgot that she wanted to name a certain civet cat.
"Cat fruit tree?" Li Meng opened her eyes wide, and immediately realized what Xiao Xiao meant: "Are you referring to the big locust tree covered with cats? Oh, this name is surprisingly appropriate."
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived under the cat fruit tree.
Li Meng wore a pink-trimmed pointed wizard hat that matched her red robe. Xiao Xiao, as always, dressed like a little scholar, even the bright red robe of Jiuyou Academy showed off his aura.
Matte dark color.
Of course, that could also be due to the dim light in the woods.
"If you like cats, you can apply to the school to adopt one." Xiao Xiao raised his head to look for traces of the black cat - in the dim light, this is a very difficult thing - and suggested to Li Meng: "
...Just like here, you can always find a lot of wild cats. They should like a stable life."
"I don't particularly like cats... I prefer rabbits." Li Meng also looked around, as if looking for something.
"But your pet is a pigeon?"
"Because no one uses rabbits to deliver mail...and they're too fragile."
"Why do you like rabbits?"
"Ah, I forgot which rabbit said, 'It would be great if I were a quilt, either lying on the bed or basking in the sun.' I like this sentence very much." Li Meng clasped her hands behind her back like a little adult and tried her best to use it.
He commented in a vicissitudes of tone: "Perhaps, that is life."
"Then you should like quilts?"
"Of course I like quilts. But no one takes quilts as pets...so I can only settle for the next best thing and choose to like rabbits."
"Such a life is too boring."
“What’s wrong with salted fish?”
"No, very good." Xiao Xiao wisely did not argue with the little witch on this conclusion, but he still concluded in a humorous way: "...but most of the salted fish are not lying in the pot.
Just lie in the bowl. It will end up in someone else’s stomach anyway.”
The black cat on the tree couldn't help but chuckle.
Xiao Xiao immediately noticed his position and made a gesture to him, meaning that he wanted to see him if he had something to do.
Li Meng also noticed the black cat.
Then she saw the little white cat next to the black cat, and she suddenly beamed with joy. She raised her hand and greeted excitedly: "Ah, it's my fate! Climb so high?! Meow meow!"
The moment Li Meng said the words, she realized that there were other people beside her, so her greeting to Jiang Yu was forcibly changed into a nondescript sentence.
Xiao Xiao tilted his head and glanced at her.
"Do you know that black cat?" He thought Li Meng was greeting the black cat.
"Black cat? Is there a black cat there?" The little witch stared for a few more times before noticing the black cat with shiny fur next to the white cat. She immediately turned her face and said twice: "Bah, bah, bah."
…It’s really unlucky.”
For many old-school wizards, black cats and crows are not good omens. Meeting them is only slightly better than meeting worse symbols such as thestrals and black dogs.
Although Li Meng is not an old-school wizard, she comes from an ancient wizard family, so she will inevitably be affected by this aspect.
Zheng Qing's face was filled with black lines as he listened to the little witch's bah-bah. The little white cat next to him chuckled. She glanced at the black cat, flicked her tail, jumped down from the cat fruit tree lightly, and stood under Li
Meng quietly disappeared into the depths of the forest amidst the shouting and chasing sounds.
Most of the 'cat fruits' on the tree just lazily glanced at the farce under the tree.
"What's the matter?" Black Cat asked, stretching his head.
"Make sure you are still alive." Xiao Xiao shrugged. He noticed the confusion on Black Cat's face and explained: "Beta Town Post and other newspapers and magazines, weren't they all talking about foreign affairs in the past few days?
God’s business?”
Hearing the word 'Outer God', the black cat couldn't help but shuddered, and for a moment, he couldn't hold back his strength and let the quill poke a transparent hole in the parchment.
He looked at the small hole angrily.
"What's new?" Black Cat shouted.
"It is indeed not new to us." Xiao Xiao raised his neck and continued: "But to other students in the school, the concepts of outer gods, dependents, starry sky, etc. are a bit far away and strange... Yesterday weekend,
We were training, so we didn’t pay attention... After class today, various rumors began to spread in the class..."
"rumor?"
"Some people say that the wizards in the North District killed too many frogs, so Tsatogua planned to impose divine punishment on the North District of Beta Town and destroy a quarter of Beta Town... Others said that the Three Pillar Gods reached an agreement with the school and planned to
Cultivate a new group of wizard dependents, etc."
The black cat heard this inexplicably.
"What does this have to do with me?" He poked his head and exposed the whole cat's head: "All kinds of stupid rumors are circulated in the school every day... Some people even said that Lao Yao was raped by Dan Hager for illegally using spells.
Imprisoned! Do we have to care about everything?"
"Of course not." Xiao Xiao raised his arm, pinched his sore neck, took a breath, and then continued: "...It's just that you didn't come to class today, and there happened to be all kinds of scary rumors in the school... So
Some people speculate that you were attacked by an alien god and are now admitted to the campus hospital."
Zheng Qing smacked his lips, expressing deep admiration for the young wizards' strong energy and wide-open imagination.
They actually derived half of the correct answer based on a bunch of wrong conditions - Zheng Qing was indeed attacked by an alien god, but he was not hospitalized, and it was not for this reason that he took leave.
"Don't tell me you believe it." Black Cat stared at the doctor.
"Three people make a tiger." Xiao Xiao rubbed his neck again: "I flew a paper crane to Professor Monteria's laboratory at noon, and they said you didn't ask for leave today to participate in the experiment... Everyone was asking me what you were doing.
Now, have you really been admitted to the campus hospital..."
The black cat retracted his head a little.
"It's another laboratory..." He muttered, flicking his tail uneasily: "Didn't I tell you that if you have anything, you can come to the Maoguoshu to find me?"
"So I'm here." Xiao Xiao moved his shoulder blades, tilted his head, and finally couldn't help shouting: "Excuse me, can you come down and chat? My neck is about to break!"
"I'm doing my homework." The black cat answered while hiding in the tree, grabbing a quill and parchment at the same time to indicate that he was telling the truth.
"The library can't accommodate you, or are the chairs in the study room uncomfortable?" Dr. Xiao's incredible voice came from under the tree: "Do you have a hole in your head? You chose to become a cat and do your homework on the tree!"
I didn't plan to do my homework originally, Black Cat thought helplessly as he looked at the quill dancing on the parchment.

"That fat orange in our dormitory? What are you going to name it?"
"How about chicken legs? I heard he likes to eat chicken legs."
"It's really good." Xiao Xiao reluctantly praised it.
"Right... I've given names to the cats on the tree... That one is called Hedgehog, that one is just Liyue, that one is just Bai Ze, and that one is Wa Wu..." Li Meng clicked
Looking at the big and small cats squatting on the tree, they started to count each one.
Xiao Xiao noticed that the one named ‘Wawu’ was the Norwegian forest cat.
"Why did you name it 'Kakugo'?"
"Because it screams like 'wow'...and the first time I saw it, it was squatting in a foggy depression." Li Meng replied.
"This is the first time I know Bai Ze is a cat." Xiao Xiao nodded seriously and looked at the other short-tailed cat: "...You know that most of them are cats with status, which means they
Has its own real name."
"What does that matter?" Li Meng raised her head and raised the box filled with chicken tenders in her hand: "Meow meow... come, let's have afternoon tea!"
Except for a few wild cats, most of the fruits on the cat fruit tree did not move at all.
The black cat lowered his head and looked at classmate Li Meng with caring eyes.
