Zheng Qing's tail and Jiang Yu's ears are very clear cat signs.

The tavernkeeper easily confirmed this.

"The shop does have such rules," he looked at the young wizards with a smile, "and as far as I can see, these two guests do have a very deep relationship with cats, but it cannot be denied that the two of you are slightly different from the cats we concept...... That's good, for two guests, we can give half price......"

"Very good, very good. Zheng Qing dragged Xiao Xiao behind him, snatched a gold coin from his hand, and then put it back in the tray, with a stiff smile on his face: "Half price is good...... Sorry for the trouble. ”

Xiao Xiao seemed to want to say something, but Jiang Yu pricked up his ears and stared at him viciously.

The little wizard immediately shut up obediently.

Seeing the tavern owner, waiters, and the lively guests disperse, Zheng Qing finally quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the stiff tail behind him also softened.

"Next time, you'll be killed. He gritted his teeth to warn Xiao Xiao, and at the same time pinched a small dried fish from the plate that had just been served—the delicacies of the shop's pets were always the fastest to be served.

"There won't be a next time. Xiao Xiao raised three fingers and said very simply in front of the two companions: "If something like this happens next time, you two will bite me to death." ”

Zheng Qinghu looked at him suspiciously, always feeling that there was some kind of ambush in the doctor's words. But the constant aroma of the small dried fish in his hand made it difficult for him to concentrate.

He raised his hand, brought the small dried fish under his nose, and sniffed it.

Xiao Xiao stared at him with a very strange and mocking look.

"I just smell something!"

The young public student was a little panicked in his heart—just for a moment, he really wanted to stuff the small dried fish into his mouth, because it was so fragrant—he excused himself as if he grabbed the dried fish and stuffed it into the small hole in the side of the wooden box in the center of the dining table, and forcibly pulled away from the topic, complaining about what had just happened: "...... This is a dreamscape, and we don't lack those two gold coins, so why bother with such a trivial matter?"

Although the gold coins in the dream realm are exchanged for gold beans, after leaving the dream realm, the gold beans in the real world will not be reduced because of this, but the condition will become slightly old, so Zheng Qing does not mind acting as a local tyrant in the dream realm.

"I just wanted to see what the owner of this tavern looks like. Xiao Xiao held his black-shell notebook, quickly made notes, and explained simply: "It is said that his family has served as a notary public in Wusa City for generations...... To be able to have such a mysterious black cat, and to have a hereditary identity in the fantasy realm, such a character is by no means simple......"

"This little dried fish does smell good. Jiang Yu's small ears in his hair were very shaking, and he also pinched a small dried fish, and his white fingers matched the golden body of the fish, which was extremely attractive.

She also brought the dried fish under her nose and sniffed it.

Zheng Qing's face froze.

Jiang Yu thought that the wizard had misunderstood something, so he hurriedly waved his hand and explained with some embarrassment: "I didn't think about eating...... I just thought it was fragrant, so I picked it up and smelled it. ”

Zheng Qing shook his head.

"Not this," replied the young scholar with a stiff arm and a low voice, "I touched it." ”

"Huh?" the witch looked dazed.

"I, I touched it!" Zheng Qing accentuated his tone slightly.

Xiao Xiao raised his head, as if he was a little uncertain, then he glanced at the wooden box, and then at Zheng Qing, and got an affirmative look.

"I touched that cat," Zheng Qing swallowed quietly, his tone a little excited: "...... I bet it's definitely a live cat!"

The dried fish in his hand was grabbed by a small but very resolute force, and disappeared little by little.

Zheng Qing could vaguely detect that a wet little tongue was patiently licking the oil residue on his fingertips after eating the dried fish. It's warm, with a little soft grinding, and the vibration of snoring comes from under the fluffy hair, which feels very cute.

Jiang Yu held his hands in fists in front of his chest, and looked at Zheng Qing's outstretched arm in the box with envy.

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Xiao suddenly shouted.

"Be quieter!" Zheng Qing glared angrily, when the doctor yelled just now, he clearly felt the purring of the hairball under his hand stagnate, and he could fully imagine that the kitten in the box was pricking up its ears and pupils, through the thin wooden plank, vigilantly looking in the direction where the abnormal noise came.

"Wait," Xiao Xiao said, his voice immediately lowered seven or eight degrees, he waved his hand, hurriedly interrupted Zheng Qing's description, and motioned for the young wizard to turn his head in another direction: "I just thought of a very interesting experiment......

The hairball on the bottom of his hand snorted again, and Zheng Qing was relieved to look in the opposite direction to the wooden box according to the doctor's request.

"What experiment?" he softened.

"You keep touching the cat and describe its appearance to us at the same time," Xiao Xiao lowered his voice and explained quickly, while dragging Jiang Yu to the other side of the box: "...... Feel free to use the word, repeat the word, but don't stop, don't turn your head, just keep looking over there. ”

Zheng Qing vaguely guessed what the doctor wanted to do.

"Well, this cat is not big, its fur is very soft and fluffy," he scratched the cat's belly, feeling its purring, and slowed down his speech, slowly describing what he felt: "Between short-haired and long-haired cats, it is a domestic, very well-behaved, when I scratch it, it will take the initiative to expose its belly......"

Xiao Xiao stood on the other side of the box, pressed her hands on the lid of the box, and glanced at Jiang Yu.

The witch nodded.

He took a deep breath and lifted it hard, opening the box.

Zheng Qing heard the sound of the box being opened behind him, the voice paused for a moment, but the bottom of his hand did not waver at all and continued to pet the invisible cat, while describing his feelings more carefully: "When it snores, like other cats, it will make people feel the lazy feeling from the inside out......"

The other side.

Jiang Yu covered his mouth and looked at the opened box in shock.

There were no cats in the box, just a pile of white bones, lying quietly by the side of an empty plate, not even a single hair in sight.

Zheng Qing's forearms and hands were in the box, and he was still stroking the cat. And it was the pile of white bones that I touched.

It's just that when he brushes the area of his palm, the bones will disappear, turning into shiny, vibrant black fur, and when the palm is brushed, the fur will disappear like a phantom, and turn into a pile of dry bones again.

Two diametrically opposed states of life and death are presented to the two young wizards at the same time.

"It's amazing!" exclaimed the witch.

"Indeed, it was an eye-opener. Xiao Xiao also rarely let out such a feeling.
