Kitty's Tavern in Minis had a mysterious black cat, and on his way there, Zheng Qing had heard passersby talking about it more than once.
For it was a cat that conquered the God of Death, existing between life and death.
When you see it in the tavern, it's certainly a dead cat, either with its eyes rolled back, belly up, breathless, or simply a heap of dead cat bones, with maggots rolling in the broken black fur.
But when you can't see it, the cat is alive.
It would stealthily climb onto the table to steal dried fish when the guests aren't paying attention and leave plum blossom-shaped paw prints on your napkin; it would hide somewhere no one can find, but everyone can hear it snoring; if the guest is a pretty girl, the black cat would hide under the table and rub her ankles and calves with its soft belly – if at this time, the girl lifts the tablecloth to look underneath, she would only see a pile of dead cat bones at her feet.
