High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 2813: Chapter 1034: White Cat Floating on Green Water

Living is tiring, so it’s called ’people tired’, while cats can nap anywhere, so it’s called ’cat nap’.

This sentence suddenly floated through the mind of the Black Gem Cat while it was lying on the rock of the fake mountain by Lin Zhong Lake, not knowing where its original form heard it from.

There’s a lot of truth in this saying.

At the thought of this sentence, it inexplicably felt a twinge of sympathy for its original form.

The poor thing, originally he had a few hours of leisure being a cat each week, but ever since it was born, he no longer had any reason to turn into a cat. Every day using the Black Gem Cat brand ’Energy Package’, it granted him one freedom but took away another, one could only say this is the true destiny of a Jiuyou Person.

Plop!

A low splashing sound came from the lakeside not far away.

It was like someone had thrown a Stone into Lin Zhong Lake.

The Black Gem Cat squinted its eyes and saw a palm-sized White Jade Cat cheerfully paddling its paws on the lake’s surface, resembling a scene of ’White Cat Floating on Green Water’.

The next second.

The Black Gem Cat snapped out of it and fell from the fake mountain rock, tumbling and scrambling to the spot where the White Cat fell into the water.

The large Green Fox was idly squatting at the shore, watching the White Jade Cat struggling in the lake, her four fluffy large tails fluttered behind her, appearing nonchalant.

”How did she fall in? How could she just fall in?”

The Black Gem Cat’s voice was sharp to the point of distortion, its mind conjured up a series of palace intrigue cases, from Concubine Zhen being drowned to Lady Qi being mutilated into a human swine—and as the word ’Lady Qi’ flashed across its mind, so did its phonetic reading.

”Bullying.”

Too bullying!

Just as the Black Gem Cat was filled with righteous indignation, the Green Fox’s slightly playful voice came to its ears: ”——What, you think I pushed her in? Is that how little you think of me in your heart?”

She squinted her long fox-like eyes, and the originally swaying tails in the breeze froze in mid-air, her tone not a bit angry yet making the Black Gem Cat’s back feel a chill.

To make a Stone feel a chill on its back, shows how strong her resentment must be!

”No...no, it isn’t.” The Black Gem Cat stuttered, denying the suspicion in its mind: ”I was just, just a bit worried... how could a Stone fall in like that?”

”Every Stone has a dream of skimming across water.” The Green Fox pursed her lips, withdrew her gaze, but showed no intention of explaining further, appearing uninterested.

The Black Gem Cat obediently squatted beside her.

It was only now upon careful examination of the splashing White Jade Cat in the lake that it realized she was indeed playing in the water, not struggling after falling in. Sneaking a glance at the Green Fox only heightened its guilty conscience.

”I went to undergo a resonance test yesterday, supposedly related to that project from Edge Academy.” The Black Gem Cat cleared its throat, attempting to compensate from another dimension for wrongly accusing the Green Fox: ”——In that resonance room there’s a stone platform this big, sit on it, a light ring appears before you, the lower the resonance, the more distorted the light ring’s shape, the higher the resonance, the closer it is to a perfect circle. My final tested resonance was sixty percent, apparently a passing value.”

It still had a bit of professional ethics, not spilling all matters supposed to be confidential.

The Green Fox tilted her head, sizing him up.

”Edge Academy’s project? This kind of thing... they didn’t make you sign a Silence Contract?” Her expression carried a hint of doubt, fitting for a fox.

”Of course they did, but you know, sometimes a Silence Contract isn’t that effective on me.” The Black Gem Cat straightened up a bit, its tone carrying some modesty.

”No, I don’t know.” The Green Fox retracted her gaze, eyes falling again on the Little White Cat in the lake, calmly guessing: ”——I suppose she should know, maybe you remembered wrong.”

Hearing this, the Black Gem Cat only wanted to smack itself.

Why is there so much chatter?

Whoosh!

Accompanied by the sound of clear water splashes, just a few seconds ago the White Jade Cat splashing within tens of meters in the lake had already pulled her wet body to the shore.

”Playing in the lake is really refreshing in summer!... You seemed to be chatting happily? What were you talking about?” Her tone held no curiosity, as if asking in passing.

She puffed her cheeks, trying hard to catch her breath.

”Chatting about things that can only be written in a Silence Contract.”

The Green Fox replied with a sly smile, playing the two little cats like puppets in her hand—the Black Gem Cat felt a tickle on its neck, turning around only to realize a fox tail had unknowingly draped over its back.

”Just talking about the resonance test I participated in last night.” It steeled itself and simply re-explained the words it said to the Green Fox just now.

”During talisman class in the afternoon, didn’t you say last night it was a ’compatibility’ test?” The White Jade Cat tilted her head, her tone innocent, seemingly genuinely curious about the difference between the two terms.

Pop!

The Black Gem Cat vaguely heard a few tiny sparks explode among the fluffy tail on its back.

...

...

Whoosh!

Zheng Qing wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and woke up from his dream with a shock.

His mind was a complete blank.

He subconsciously reached for the Nightmare Doll under his pillow, Merlin Above, their heads were all there, meaning he hadn’t had a nightmare, nor was he cursed.

But then why did he wake up startled without having a nightmare?

He was at a loss.

Checking the time, it wasn’t even six, yet a faint light had already appeared, a streak of golden yellow filtered through the upper left corner of the balcony window, leaving a long, warm glow in the room, while the upper right corner of the window still saw the pale white residue of the moon.

Outside, bird calls intertwined, just like the light of the sun and moon.

Dylan’s coffin lid was wide open, meaning Mister Blood Werewolf hadn’t finished his night classes. Xiao Xiao and Xin Fat Man’s bed curtains were drawn, the difference being only snoring was coming from Xiao Xiao’s curtain, while two sources of snoring came from the Fat Wizard’s.

As for the Black Gem Cat, it lay sopping wet on the desk, looking listless.

As if it had done hard labor all night.

Wait.

Black Gem Cat?

The young teaching assistant suddenly became fully awake, as if electrified, leaped from the bed in a hurry, and rushed to the desk in three steps to snatch up the Black Gem Cat.

”Why are you back so early?”

His tone carried some unease; under normal circumstances, without being forcibly summoned, the cat rarely returned home on its own, so something must have happened last night!

Without waiting for the Black Gem Cat to speak, the boy pinched the Hand Jue and cancelled the Art of Body Transformation.

The Black Gem Cat transformed back into a Gem.

The monotonous yet not boring memories belonging to the cat poured into the boy’s mind like icy water, making him shiver several times in this warm morning.
