Although he said he would be separated for an afternoon when he left.
But after only more than four hours, Jiang Yu and other witches completed the preparation for the spring hunt dinner. When she hurried to the third floor of the castle with paper cranes, she could easily see the black cat napping at the top of the marble column at the entrance of the stairs.
An elf wearing a gray gauze skirt was holding a brush larger than her head, flying hard, pushing around the black cat's back, and a comfortable purr was made in the black cat's belly.
The witch couldn't help laughing.
"Didn't you say that this castle is very valuable for visiting and will wander around for an afternoon?" She threw a golden bean to the elf, took the black cat into her arms, and whispered: "It's been a long time since she's been wandering around, and started to be lazy."
After the elf saluted the witch in a regular manner, he flew away happily with the tip she earned with a brush.
The witch's gentle tone made the black cat feel a little hot, and she couldn't help but squint and curl her body into a ball.
"That's because I don't know that there are so many houses in this castle that cats are not allowed to enter." Its eyes didn't open, and it shook its ears comfortably, yawned lazily, and hooked its tail on the witch's arm: "And, this is not called laziness... What kind of laziness can be stealed when visiting? This is called stealing for half a day of leisure~~"
Jiang Yu ignored the poor-mouthed black cat, but gestured at the height of the marble pillar.
"Are you not afraid of others touching you?" She wrinkled her nose, and suddenly felt a little suspicious in her tone: "To be honest, you have become a cat. Do you want to trick the little girl into touching you!"
Zheng Qing was able to deal with this level of intimidation freely.
"Think of the point of view, will you touch an unknown black cat in this castle casually?" It tilted its head, opened its eyes and looked at the witch with bright eyes.
Jiang Yu thought for a moment, and finally shook his head honestly.
"It shouldn't."
She murmured, scratching the black cat's belly while explaining to herself: "For old-school wizards, black cats are a very special existence. In Shanglinyuan, or in this castle, the most lacking is old-school wizards. In addition, most of the people who can enter the castle are children of aristocratic families. Even for the most basic politeness, no one will touch the kittens on the roadside like in school."
The black cat felt that she was secretly implicating something again.
It coughed dryly, stretched out its claws, opened its two cat toes, and added: "In addition to education, I think the bigger factor is safe. Just now, I heard a witch on the pillar advise her friend, saying, 'The cat on the pillar may be an old pervert who wants to take advantage of the little girl, so don't be fooled'' 'Many old guys here have quirks and are disrespectful to the old'..."
Halfway through hearing this, Jiang Yu couldn't help but cover his mouth and let out a depressing laugh.
"Please pay attention to your image, this lady!"
In a portrait hanging on the wall next to it, a witch in a black robe looked like an old nanny with her eyes hanging down, and she warned the passing witch in a stern tone: "You are smiling like a wandering oriole now..."
The witch snorted, pressed and held the head of the black cat who was about to curse, and accelerated his pace a little.
"Don't argue with her, this is not a school... There are old antiques like this in Shanglinyuan everywhere, and you can't beat them."
She whispered, and changed the subject and returned to the topic that interested her: "But to be honest, the idea of becoming a cat is really smart... After you had such a fight by the Crescent Lake, you just needed to be more low-key so that Senior Sister Tushan's friends would come to you for trouble."
The black cat sniffed.
It will never admit that it does have this consideration when it becomes a cat. It is not only because of the possibility of causing trouble in Tushan’s 9th day of the year, but also because the suggestions of the old wizards on Lishan echo in his mind like a magical sound, causing him to feel a little "persecution paranoia" for no reason, and always feel that everyone who talks to him is not at ease.
It feels much more comfortable to become a cat.
No one is going to bother a cat too much here.
"Actually, I should have become a cat and went to the kitchen with you. It must be more fun than this gloomy castle..." The black cat shook his beard and changed the topic.
"You will be driven out by the head maid of the Black family with a broom." The witch looked at him with a smile: "Do you think there was no male witch who wanted to sneak into the kitchen before? Their purpose is not as simple as yours."
She made the word "simple" particularly heavy.
The black cat felt sick. No matter what the witch said, she always felt that there was something in her words.
It tried to get rid of the bad thoughts in its mind and changed the topic again: "I just wanted to see what dinner you cook, and then I got a little dried fish... What to eat for dinner?"
"You'd better not have too high fantasies."
When talking about this, Jiang Yu paused and his interest was obviously not that high: "Shanglinyuan is a very traditional place, manifested in all aspects, such as food. There will be no variety at the moon dance party here, and it is not even as good as the school cafeteria. The staple food is all kinds of dry bread, large and small, and various shapes. We are not allowed to use too much butter and sugar; the vegetables are cold, most of them are various prey hunted by male witches, and they are made after freshly divided. If you feel greasy, you can use a little bitter vegetable soup or other herbs to make hot soup. The taste is definitely not so wonderful, but they are very good for your magic..."
"No wine?" The black cat couldn't help but interrupt the witch.
"You know very few wines, no matter Green Bee, Amber Light, or Siren Rum, they will not appear openly at Shanglinyuan's supper. That is disrespect for the ancient magic tradition."
Speaking of this, witches rolled their eyes very often, and then quickly returned to their usual dignity: "Of course, not appearing publicly means that they still have them in private. As long as you find the right person, young wizards have their own preferences after all."
"What does wine I don't know mean?"
"There will be various kinds of fruit wine made of magical fruits for dinner. It is a private collection of various stores and generally will not flow to the market for sale. The volume will not be too large. But the taste is very good."
The black cat changed into a more comfortable position in the witch's arms, stepped on his claws, and sighed: "The atmosphere of aristocratic families is really, it's about cutting from ordinary wizards in all aspects... As for?"
The witch felt the irregular black cat in her arms, her face turned slightly red, and from the corner of her eyes, she saw a huge curtain next to her that was squatting and hanging on the ground, and threw the black cat behind the curtain.
At the same time, he spat and scolded, "Change your clothes quickly... The dance party is about to start in less than half an hour. I don't expect to dance with a cat at that time!"
"You can let me squat on your shoulders, and then you dance with other beautiful ladies!" A shameless voice from the black cat came from behind the curtain.
The answer to it was the witch's unceremonious kick.
Through the curtain, the black cat was kicked and then immediately became much more honest.
