Chapter 717: Chapter 65 Conflict_1

When Li Meng sprung up from the ground, the surrounding cats, big and small, scattered and disappeared into the surrounding bushes in a blink of an eye.

In the area, only a few of the relatively larger, self-proclaimed powerful cats didn’t run – even so, they arched their backs, raised their tails, fluffed their fur, producing throaty growls of intimidation, looking at Li Meng warily.

This contrasted sharply with the scene when the Norwegian forest cat robbed the short-haired cat, with the other cats around turning a blind eye, which aggravated the already furious little witch.

"He’s the villain!" The little witch pointed at the big cat and fearlessly took two steps forward while scanning her surroundings, looking at those cats with arched backs, she yelled, "Why are you glaring at me instead of giving him trouble!"

"You should band together and get rid of this robber! Otherwise, he’s going to steal your dried fish in the future!"

"Pfft..." The black cat lying on the branch couldn’t help snickering and almost burst out laughing.

Of course, to conceal his identity, he swallowed that laugh back, making the sound he produced akin to having a clump of fur stuck in his throat, sounding strange.

The little witch under the tree glanced up worriedly, and then took a small step to the side, seemingly afraid of the black cat’s saliva falling from above.

The Forest cat cocked its head, looking at the little witch in surprise, it seemed curious as to why she was so worked up. For animals, robbery and plunder are common, they don’t maintain the order in the animal world with concepts like "morality" or "justice".

After a glance, assessing that the little witch posed a meager threat, the forest cat grabbed a piece of dried fish and started crunching away.

Above, the short-haired cat that had escaped could only shout quietly a few times at this scene.

"Coward! Go to the bag and fetch my Law book!" Upon seeing the forest cat, whose head was larger than her own leg, Li Meng finally gave up on the idea of charging in, she turned her head while fuming at the teddy bear that had just escaped and commanded, "Get the one with the red cover!"

"Yes, ma’am!" the teddy bear snapped to attention, and then turned around, running towards a bench under a Paulownia tree at a faster speed than it had when it ran away.

On that wooden bench, there was a pink little backpack.

Up in the tree, the black cat that had been watching the show finally noticed the signs of escalating conflict and stood up uneasily. Similarly, the other cats on the branches also stood up one by one, peering down.

As an ancient, spiritual creature, a cat’s intuition can be very sharp at times.

This keenness was particularly striking in the forest cat.

Before the teddy bear had even run ten meters, it noticed a dark shadow over its head. When it looked up, it saw a pair of amber eyes glaring at it.

"Mother! Help!" The teddy bear squealed like a slaughtered pig, tried to turn and run back in the direction of the little witch only to find that its luck had run out.

With a nimble leap, the forest cat swooped past the teddy bear’s side and sent the rotund, harmless toy rolling with a casual swipe.

When it managed to wobble to its feet, a giant paw covered its vision again, knocking it back to the ground. Very soon, the once clean yellow teddy bear was covered in mud, the soft threads on it dirtied and matted, becoming filthy.

"Ah Ah Ah..." Li Meng screamed, brandishing a stick she had found somewhere, and ferociously charged at the forest cat, looking as if she was ready to go down with it.

But clearly, the little witch underestimated the fighting power of a ’large-sized feline animal’.

The forest cat danced around the little witch and, before the black cat could see how it attacked, there was another figure tumbling on the ground. The branch spun a few times in mid-air and then fell silent in the bush.

Fortunately, the forest cat knew not to go too far. It merely pushed Li Meng with its paw, she was now dirtied in mud, but she didn’t sustain any real harm.

Even so, this was a major shock for the little witch.

She drew a deep breath, her eyes were visibly reddening. She sat on the mud without standing up and wrapped her arms around the teddy bear next to her, not caring about the dirty mud on the teddy bear at all.

The teddy bear could also gauge the seriousness of the situation, it didn’t continue to make a fuss. But its originally transparent glass eyes seemed to be emitting a faint red glow which made the black cat wonder – does this teddy bear also have tiny blood vessels under his eyelids, enabling him to blush?

Of course, Zheng Qing wasn’t just puzzled and curious.

Although his relationship with Li Meng was ’very poor’, this didn’t mean he could remain indifferent after seeing the little witch being bullied by a big cat outside - whether it was from a classmate’s perspective, Jiang Yu’s care for her, or an adult’s protection of a minor, Zheng Qing needed to take action.

So the black cat jumped down from the tree.

He landed in the empty space between the forest cat and the little witch.

"Ahem." The black cat coughed twice – Zheng Qing couldn’t stand mimicking a cat’s call, but he couldn’t remain silent in this situation, so after weighing it up, he coughed twice to announce his presence.

Anyway, it’s common for cats to cough. It wouldn’t be unusual.

"Roar..." Suddenly a dark shadow fell from above, scaring the forest cat. But then it realized it was just a small black cat, only about a foot tall, which made the big cat felt somewhat embarrassed.

It was the boss of this territory after all and recognized among dozens of cats. What’s happening to be frightened by a small black cat? Even cats need to save face!

He had some impressions of this little black cat. It seemed to have just joined the ’clan’ this morning. But because it hadn’t been here for a long time, he hadn’t had time to collect his tribute.

Thinking of this, the forest cat squinted its eyes and growled threateningly from its throat, trying to scare the little black cat off.

We are all civilized cats. There’s no need to get into physical fights if possible.

The black cat stared silently at the forest cat.

Staring.

Not blinking at all.

Without realizing it, the forest cat’s fur stood on end and it stopped moving toward the black cat.

"Humph..." The forest cat quickly realized its abnormal behavior, growled angrily, and slapped one paw onto the trunk of a nearby aspen tree, creating several deep scratch marks.

Meanwhile, the other larger cats not far from the forest cat, started to quietly approach the little black cat at its signal, moving at a steady pace.
