Chapter 1081 - 143 Fall Down a Black Cat
Chapter 1081: Chapter 143 Fall Down a Black CatUpon hearing the question from the Rat Immortal, Korma’s first reaction was to subconsciously lift her head and glance above. The treetop’s branches and twigs intertwined with the fresh leaves of early spring, but there was no cat riding upon them.
Therefore, she interpreted the term ’riding’ as ’seven,’ which also fit the pattern of a brain teaser.
With her fingers crossed behind her back, the witch quietly counted, then tentatively responded, "Seven cats in the tree, no cats on the ground, so could there be a total of seven cats or maybe one cat? As for whose cats they might be... in the Silent Forest, the cats are perhaps born and bred of the forest itself."
This answer was by the book, yet showed a bit of cleverness.
"Do you think the cat has the surname Sun? Born and bred indeed..." The Rat Immortal sneered at the witch’s answer, shook his head, and denied, "Let me tell you directly, then. There are zero cats in total, and that cat belongs to Schrödinger."
"Zero cats? Schrödinger?" Korma blinked.
Regarding the Big Wizard who made outstanding contributions in the area of low-speed spell formula movements within the field of thought forces, Korma still had a slight impression. Equally memorable was this Big Wizard’s peculiar interest in feline animals.
Legend had it that Schrödinger once transformed into a stray cat to roam the wild, all to better understand the behaviors of cats so as to better serve his own Egyptian cat named ’Elwin’—allegedly, this Egyptian cat often played hide and seek with Schrödinger. When Schrödinger looked for it, he could never find it; but when he stopped
Okay, okay, since she was willing to respond, things hadn’t gotten irredeemably bad yet. The black cat’s thoughts spun quickly while it retracted the blades peeking through its paw, showing its goodwill first.
"I mean no harm, just passing by," the black cat tried hard to convey his goodwill, glancing several times between the person and the mouse, then added, "And I didn’t hear anything just now."
"Counterproductive," commented the Rat Immortal.
"Gilding the lily," said the witch.
The black cat’s face grew even darker.
"If you had malicious intentions, you would already be buried under the roots of the Return Soul Poplar as fertilizer, not here chattering." Korma had not put away the Law Book, but her tense posture had slightly relaxed, "You should find a better excuse."
The black cat looked at her eagerly.
A long pause.
"If you think it’s appropriate, maybe I could take on the role of the ’guide’ you just mentioned," the black cat spoke dryly, ears pulled back like airplane wings, in a very submissive manner.
The witch glanced sideways, eyeing the Rat Immortal subtly.
"That’s the one," the Rat Immortal said, satisfied, twirling his whiskers, "Destiny is such a wonder... If there is anyone in the world who could help you find that secret realm faster, it would be this black cat."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qing shivered, nervous as he looked at the fat old mouse in front of him.
He always felt that this mouse had seen through his real identity beneath the cat skin.

Ps1, there was an error in the previous Chapter’s riddle, "Question: A cat on a tree, no cat on the ground, how many cats in total? Whose cat is it?" This slightly affected the following content.
Ps2, Do not mind the issue with Chinese homophones; just assume they all speak Chinese.
