Chapter 2739: The Implication of Not Moving Your Claws
"We are protecting his real body, not his clone."
Old Ernest glanced at the direction where the black cat disappeared, his lips moved slightly, and his voice sounded clearly in the ears of the other four gray-robed wizards: "-Even if the black cat was dragged to the bottom of Linzhong Lake by Kappa or beaten by other wild cats, the real body would be frightened at most, and it would not be a big deal. But if we go to such lengths to protect the black cat, if there is a mistake on the real body side, it will not be worth the loss."
Speaking of this, the old wizard paused for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed: "-Besides, young people, there must be some privacy. He is uncomfortable under our eyes all day long, and we are also under great pressure. If he is allowed to relax properly, he can adjust his mentality, and we can also relax."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
In dormitory 403, Zheng Qing, who was sleeping soundly, was unaware of the discussions inside and outside the room.
Outside the dormitory, the black gem cat that disappeared in the night was unaware of the chatter behind him.
The moonlight fell on the ground through the treetops, leaving patches of mottled shadows, and fell on the black gem cat, illuminating a clear halo, making it feel refreshed and pleasant, and in a very good mood.
Even when it was provoked by the two-tailed squirrel throwing pine cones on the way, it could just laugh it off.
It has been a long time since I came to the cat fruit tree.
There seemed to be a few more "fruits" on the tree.
The black gem cat squatted on the ground, raised his head, and counted for a long time, but couldn't count how many subordinates he had now. It was really a happy trouble.
Thinking so, it happily climbed towards its throne, wanting to warm up the cold throne before the white jade cat came.
Then, a huge slap interrupted the black gem cat's plan.
The black cat raised his head and saw that it was the Norwegian forest cat that blocked the way.
At this moment, it was stretching out one of its front legs, opening its claws, and blocking the black gem outside the edge of the throne.
The turn of spring and summer is not friendly to long-haired cats like forest cats. The long hair on its body that was majestic and warm in winter has fallen a lot at this moment, and the whole cat has become a little mottled.
But this does not affect it at all. It is still one of the few large cats in the cat fruit tree.
As one of the "big fruits" on the cat fruit tree, this forest cat has tried to challenge the leader status of the black cat several times, but all failed. So after being stopped by this big cat today, the first thought that flashed through his mind was that this thief cat came to ask for a fight again.
But after raising his paw and comparing it with the paw of the same size as his face, the black gem cat realized that he was not a real black cat, but just a clone. His current size seems to be no match for this forest cat.
"It's me! Get out of the way!"
The black gemstone cat straightened its chest, stretched its ears, and tried to make its voice more majestic, but its throat made of gemstone made its voice much crisper, so that after hearing its scolding, the forest cat just tilted its head and slapped it down from the tree.
The action was extremely gentle.
It seemed to be worried that it would be beaten to death with a little force.
Zheng Qing thought that the big cat might have good intentions and didn't want this "new" kitten to challenge the majesty of the owner of the cat fruit tree, so it gave a small punishment.
Thinking of this, it felt more and more frustrated.
When the white jade cat came under the cat fruit tree, it saw this scene - the fist-sized black gemstone cat raised its head and spit fragrance at the tree, while the fruits hanging on the branches opened their eyes in twos and threes, looking at the new member below with curiosity and confusion, wondering what it was doing.
"--Finally I know why the ancient emperors made tiger talismans."
The black gemstone cat immediately restrained himself after seeing the white jade cat, but still couldn't help complaining: "I just changed my image, but they didn't recognize me! This is outrageous! Does a steamed bun become a flower roll and it is no longer a staple food? Next time I will bring a custom ring so that every cat on the tree will remember that ring! Well, the ring must have a tiger head pattern, which is perfect for the "tiger talisman" of the cat fruit tree!"
The white jade cat listened to his endless complaints.
Thinking seriously for a moment.
Nodding, then shaking his head.
"They did the right thing. These cats can maintain your presence on the cat fruit tree when 'you' are not here, which means that you, the owner of the cat fruit tree, have been completely recognized by them."
While affirming the reaction of the cat fruits, she praised all the cats on and under the tree with one sentence, and then tactfully corrected the black cat's last metaphor: "...The problem now is that you are not a steamed bun that turned into a flower roll, you are a flower roll. At this time, the steamed bun should be sleeping on your bed!"
This makes sense.
Zheng Qing suddenly realized that he is now a clone, an existence relatively independent of the original body, rather than a deformation of the original body.
After a moment of silence, the black gem cat pulled his ears, raised his paw to stroke the whiskers around his mouth, and changed the subject very stiffly: "- Well, I'm a little uncomfortable to hear you speak in this form suddenly."
This complaint is not entirely a change of subject.
In the past, there were dozens of cats on and off the cat fruit tree, and only the black cat could speak human language.
Today, the white jade cat also spoke.
It did make the black cat a little uncomfortable.
Hearing the Black Gem Cat's complaints, the White Jade Cat glanced at him and didn't dwell on the issue too much: "...I heard that you will take two qualification examinations in the next two days? Which two subjects are they? How are your preparations going?"
"Registered Talisman Drawing Master and Licensed Talisman Bullet Maker."
Black Cat was not sure about the exams tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but in front of White Jade Cat, he could only bite the bullet and pretend to be very confident: "——As for preparation, it should be about the same. When I was collecting credits, Su... I mean, the professor specially chose the subject I am best at."
These two qualification exams were recommended by Su Shijun, and he almost let it slip.
"...But speaking of tomorrow's exams," Black Cat remembered what Seleus mentioned in the morning: "I remember Professor Jiang Qianli is your elder, right?"
"Both of them." White Jade Cat answered concisely.
"Well, it is said that the school originally arranged for him to be the invigilator of the licensed talisman bomb maker, but in the end he failed to become an examiner because of the special relationship avoidance policy... Do you know about this?"
"Special relationship avoidance? I don't know." White Jade Cat looked confused, and was unexpectedly cute.
The black cat couldn't help but raise its paw and stroke the white jade cat's back. The jade and stone touched each other, like a jade pendant and a phoenix. The magic power of the white jade and the black gemstone intertwined, rendering a magnificent color under the cat fruit tree.
"Don't touch me!"
She shook her ears and snorted as a warning, but did not avoid the black cat's paw.
The black gemstone cat blinked.
Swish!
It rubbed the white jade cat's back with its mouth.
