395: Chapter 64 Jiang Yu’s Persistence_1 395: Chapter 64 Jiang Yu’s Persistence_1 If a male witch defiled a female witch in broad daylight, he’d either be stripped naked and half-burned on a stake, or the female witch would lower her eyes and follow him, leading a shaless life together.
But a male cat—surely, it would be more fitting to use the term ‘tomcat’—if a tomcat was proclaid to have defiled a witch, the end result would indeed be even more tragic.
After all, it’s just a cat.
If it’s killed, it’s rely a second-degree murder.
Perhaps a slight mobilisation from the murderer’s family could even secure a suspended sentence, completely avoiding prison.
Moreover, there are no witches who want to spend a lifeti with a tomcat.
The black cat that had just sneezed tensely lifts its head, tucks its tail between its hind legs, and tightens its muscles, ready to struggle against the fragrant embrace beneath it and flee at any mont.
The little demon standing opposite him, however, reveals a ferocious smile, rubbing his hands together, looking eager to try sothing.
It looks like he’s going to pounce on this black cat and punish it privately at any mont.
“This is the First University.” Jiang Yu warned the young witch with a glance and brought out a small wooden comb from sowhere to carefully comb the black cat’s back fur: “…In this campus, you will hardly find a truly stupid cat.”
These words were very apt.
Man and cat settled back down.
Li ng no longer had an excuse to bother the vigilant black cat.
Zheng Qing was finally relieved; he no longer had to worry about losing the most important part of being a man due to drinking a shape-shifting potion.
He released the tail tucked between his hind legs and wagged it with confidence.
Just like a challenge, this movent seriously annoyed Li ng nearby.
“If the cats in this school are all so smart, then how could your kitten Xiao Bai get…” Suddenly she raised her hand and imdiately covered her mouth.
Then she glanced nervously at her cousin.
It seed that Jiang Yu didn’t notice what Li ng had just said.
She continued to hold that small wooden comb and combed the black cat’s hair with leisure.
However, the black cat lying in her arms wasn’t that comfortable.
After Li ng said those words, Zheng Qing distinctly felt that Jiang Yu’s arm beca sowhat stiff, and the wooden comb in her hand beca uneven, scraping his flesh raw.
The black cat twisted its body to silently express its protest.
“Let’s rest here for a while.” Jiang Yu seed to wake up from a dream, but didn’t put down the black cat in her arms; instead, she held it and sat directly on the wooden bench.
Li ng picked up the Kun bag for her cousin, muttering so complaints, and climbed onto the bench too.
The two witches, big and small, sat on the bench silently—watching the tall maple ash, watching the gently falling red leaves, watching Lake Lin Zhong in the distance, and shining upon the gently rippling lake, was an orange sun, rising in the distance.
It was a long while before Jiang Yu slowly began to speak, she said: “It was precisely because it was so cunning, so intelligent…
that’s why I had to get justice for it…
and catch the murderer.”
“When I first found it, it’s size was just that of a fist.
It must’ve been born not long ago, only a tiny bit…
looked just like a big mouse.”
“Dirty all over, trembling beneath that big green rock.”
On saying this, she pointed towards a big green rock at the edge of the lake in the distance and flicked her hanging hair in the process.
Li ng was quiet and just tightly hugged her cousin’s arm.
The black cat also no longer fought with the young witch, but propped itself up a little, turned its head, and listened to this elegant witch who resembled an orchid as she told her heartfelt gentle little stories under the shade of a tree to a little girl and a cat.
“…The school rules don’t allow pets in the dormitories, so I built a nest with a carton, cotton fluff, and flower petals beside the green rock for the kitten.
I even stole Li Neng’s cape secretly and gave it to the kitten to keep it warm.”
“No wonder that stuffed bear has been looking for its cape for a while.” Li ng revealed an enlightened expression: “There are so many charms for warmth, wind resistance, and fall prevention embroidered on that cape, Li Neng has always treasured it.”
“Do you rember that previously after school, I would take you to feed the kitten…
You always fed it the milk you didn’t drink, but it never ate anything you gave it.” Jiang Yu said, a gentle expression surfaces on her face.
“Of course, I rember.” Li ng seed a bit aggravated: “Frankly speaking, I mixed dragon bone powder into that milk, it’s the best for blood replenishnt and strengthening the body… It’s its loss for not drinking it!”
The black cat couldn’t help but raise its head and showed a drooling expression.
Zheng Qing discovered that since he had beco a cat, his self-control had greatly diminished.
If he were still a person, after hearing about the witch girl’s unabashedly flaunting wealth, he’d at most just grumble a bit, burying his envy deeply within.
But not now, just hearing about the milk enhanced with dragon bone powder makes him want to wag his tail.
If it were a few minutes ago, when he saw the black cat act so subserviently to the little witch, she would’ve definitely broken into wild laughter, then use the milk in her bag to trick the black cat into performing a tap dance.
However, as her recollections deepened, Jiang Yu’s mood significantly dampened.
Hence, the little witch was not in the mood to flirt with the black cat anymore.
The black cat sowhat dispirited, lay down again and continued to listen to the witch’s story with the other cat.
The little kitten quickly grew up under the care of Jiang Yu.
And it was extrely healthy.
If nothing unexpected happened, this cat could accompany its witch through her university years and even have the chance to leave the academy, Buji Island, and go onto the wider world of wizards.
That was until one morning, it was found stiff and lifeless on top of a rockery.
The kitten seed to have died peacefully.
However, Jiang Yu could clearly sense the terror revealed in the kitten’s pupils.
She complained to the maintenance committee and student council yet was always given the runaround.
At the university, the high-ranking wizards had more important concerns, to even expend a little manpower on a cat was already considered an extre act of kindness and humanitarianism.
Since it was confird that the cat was not a transford wizard, naturally no one wanted to waste more resources on it.
So Jiang Yu decided to investigate it herself.
She spent her free ti and weekends in the library, looking through various references to find the cause of the kitten’s death.
Almost a month passed in a blink of an eye, even the midterm exams were around the corner, but she still had not found any clue.
In the library, there were thousands of cases similar to the silent death of the kitten, and Jiang hadn’t even gone through two hundred of them.
“But didn’t the maintenance committee catch the killer already?” Li ng asked, squirming uneasily on the wooden chair, her gaze fixed piercingly on the black cat.
Zheng Qing, guarded against the little witch, naturally tucked his tail between his legs again.
“Kappa is not the killer.”
“And naturally, neither is the Red Chain Snake.”
Jiang Yu circled the cat with one hand and held a small comb in the other, with every denial, she combed through the black cat’s back fur from head to tail.
Because it felt so good, Zheng Qing had even started to purr involuntarily.
“As for the Sand Hour bugs,” Jiang Yu’s combing hand paused slightly, then continued moving smoothly: “Sand Hour bugs… they don’t break a kitten’s neck.
I saw in the maintenance committee’s investigation report that the cause of the kitten’s death was that soone snapped its neck…”
“Snapped its neck?!
” Li ng looked extrely shocked: “I always thought it died because soone ate its eyeballs…”
The black cat’s purring suddenly stopped.
He then shrugged his shoulder, and started chuckling.
Jiang Yu also seed to be amused by Li ng’s remarks: she tugged the corners of her mouth and said helplessly, “That was a cat!
Neither an Eye Demon nor Ghostwitch.
No reason why it would die as a result of losing a pair of eyes.”
“I ant, I thought it was killed by Horus!” The little witch glared at the black cat fiercely, threateningly took out her Law book, waving it around and saying: “Why are you laughing…
laugh again, and I’ll tie you up, throw you in the lake and let the Fishman cook you!”
How scary.
The black cat lazily lifted the corner of her eyes.
Ears tugged backward, it showed an expression of disdain.
Jiang Yu promptly stopped the little witch who was about to lose her temper.
“Horus, not Horus…
Also, put away your Law book.” She sternly watched Li ng: “You are at school now, not at ho…
Never wave your Law book at strangers.”
“But it’s just a cat,” The little witch mumbled in protest, reluctantly putting away her Law book.
