Chapter 2110

The blonde maid, who knew her master's temper well, immediately wanted to give the silver cat a hint, but Xia De would certainly not make a mistake.

The cat then jumped lightly from the coffee table onto the witch's lap again, and then looked up at her:

"I'm leaving now and can come back tomorrow morning. I don't like spending time with the girls around me in cat form. Can I have breakfast here tomorrow? At that time, I will answer your questions."

After speaking, the cat nodded heavily again:

"Tonight counts as you saving me; otherwise, I might still be drifting on the sea."

The countess had been blushing since the cat jumped back onto her lap, and hearing him say this, the slight anger and disappointment that had just welled up disappeared:

"I didn't save you; you saved yourself. And it wasn't me who brought you back. Your friend carried us safely back to Moon Bay Port. You know, the church is probably going crazy now; they probably want to check every drop of water and every grain of sand outside the port, but your friend is very capable."

"Friend?"

Xia De's first reaction was Mr. Bernhardt, but then he realized that the blood-kin viscount did not have such ability.

"Yes, the one you were talking to at the Ship Museum. She said she was Miss Eilertris... You told me at the time that she was just a stranger."

The witch's hand pinched the cat's little paw, then her eyes lit up, and she went to pinch the other cat paws. To prevent Xia De from objecting, she used words to distract him:

"She appeared suddenly and carried us back on a very large cruise ship. She also asked me to collect information on the 【Dragon Feast Sect】's ritual to summon the deep-sea evil thing—the Seven-Tailed Player, saying it would be very useful to you."

The silver cat immediately perked up:

"Yes, it is indeed very useful."

The tail flicked, and the witch sitting on the sofa looked at him with a smile.

"It seems my guess was right; that Miss Eilertris is indeed... but because of this, I still have to meet her to confirm some things."

"That girl didn't say anything about meeting you next time; she left as soon as she sent us ashore just now. She really is beautiful, almost comparable to us witches."

She said this on purpose.

"Miss Eilertris is most likely not human, but I'm not sure what she is for the time being. After all, I've never heard of a ship becoming a spirit."

"What?"

"Nothing."

The silver cat shook its head immediately. The witch took the opportunity to touch its little head again, and only then did Xia De jump from her lap back onto the coffee table. The blonde countess was not angry, but looked at him with a smile:

"In this cat form of yours, you're only a little bit away from your true appearance."

The cat understood what she meant:

"You're exhausted tonight too. This hellish weather is indeed not suitable for going out. Have a cup of hot tea, then go to the bedroom to rest. We'll see each other tomorrow. Thank you again for not leaving at that time, Miss Bellindell. Good night."

The witch half-stood up, reached out and grabbed the cat by the waist, actually picking it up:

"Don't say thank you, we'll see each other tomorrow morning. Remember? You still owe me many answers to questions."

"Um... I understand. Then we'll see each other tomorrow."

The cat had to say this. The countess smiled gently and put Xia De back on the coffee table.

So, a slender black chain extended from the cat's little paw to lock onto the small perfume bottle, and the cat itself used its head to push the crystal shoe off the edge of the coffee table. There was no sound of the shoe hitting the ground, because before the crystal shoe landed on the carpet, the cat, the perfume bottle, and the shoe all disappeared together.

Miss Matilda on the side did not pay much attention to this magical scene, but asked her master cautiously:

"Miss, so the incident at the pier tonight, was it really caused by you?"

The blonde witch sighed, leaned against the back of the sofa, and looked up at the crystal chandelier:

"What did you see from the city?"

She hadn't had time to discuss this with her apprentice since she got back.

"At first it was just unclear dragon roars, then black thunder. Later, a dragon roar that was very clear even in the manor appeared, silver moonlight appeared in the direction of the pier, and then it became quiet again."

Bella Bellindell nodded gently, not discussing the dragon and thunder, but whispered:

"Tonight, I kissed the moon on the ship, just once."

She raised her hand to touch her lips. The maid on the side looked at her master with a smile, happy for her boldness and progress.

Outside, there was heavy snow, and under the indoor lights, the witch's golden hair seemed to be glowing. Today must have been a very magical day for Bella Bellindell; life seemed to have become more and more unusual as that man arrived in Moon Bay.

(Iluna is praying...)

Although Xia De was not at home, a gas lamp was still lit in the second-floor living room of No. 6 St. Deran Square, because Xia De did not want to leave the cat alone in the dark house.

Compared to the storms in Moon Bay City, the weather in Tobesk City tonight was quite good. Although the streets were still filled with night fog, this was just the usual appearance of this city. Patrolling police officers passed through the night fog and passed St. Deran Square, looking up to catch a glimpse of the light on the second floor of No. 6, but they definitely could not see the cat dozing on the back of the living room sofa.

This position was quite good for it; by tilting its head slightly, it could see the room's door, and its peripheral vision could catch a glimpse of the bedroom and windows. It was just that the house was quiet at this time, so Little Mia did not need to check anything.

Suddenly, accompanied by two "clangs" of heavy objects landing, the cat raised its head alertly. Its large amber eyes looked up at the floor above, its furry little ears twitched twice, and then the cat jumped off the sofa in high spirits and rushed out of the room, jumping up the stairs with extremely fast steps.

Before long, the two chasing cats came down from the dark third floor:

"Oh, Mia, I know you're excited, but don't lick me. I'll say it again, Mia, don't lick me."

The first to run into the second floor was the silver cat. Xia De used his paws to stop the orange cat's intimacy, while the latter was still relentlessly and excitedly trying to get close to him.

Xia De, who had returned home, still could not turn back into a human, but he had specifically come back to ask for help:

"I'm going out now, you stay home and wait for me obediently. Oh, don't rub against me anymore, Mia, be good!"

He said to the house cat, jumping quickly from the second floor to the first. But Little Mia followed behind him, and even when Xia De used the "Move Object" spell to open a crack in the door, the cat, unlike usual, decisively followed him out of the door and onto the street.

The orange and white cat squatted on the steps at the door in high spirits, its large amber eyes excitedly watching the silver cat, but Xia De did not want it to follow him out.

"Mia, don't come out. If you run around and get lost, I won't be able to find you in this state."

"She" chuckled in Xia De's ear, as if mocking Xia De's thoughts. Xia De also knew what "she" was laughing at; looking at Mia's current appearance, even if Xia De got lost, it would be able to find him.

Since he couldn't make Mia stay home obediently, Xia De had to take it with him. Confirming that the door was locked, the silver cat trotted forward into the night fog. Without turning around, he could see Little Mia following him closely, so he felt relieved to take Little Mia and run into the depths of the fog.

It is worth mentioning that although Xia De could only switch between cat-dragon-butterfly forms for strange reasons at this time, this did not mean he had no power to fight back against danger. Although his physical body was weakened by the cat form, his spellcasting ability remained, which was why Xia De did not rest at Bellindell Manor but wanted to solve the trouble tonight.

In fact, there was indeed no big problem in Tobesk tonight, and even running around the street in cat form, not even the police would pay attention to them. On the way forward, the only problem Xia De and Little Mia encountered was that the stray cats on the street seemed to treat them as if they had come to grab territory.

Stray cats in groups of three or two rushed out from the dark alleys, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws to block their way, and were then scared away by Little Mia, who had never been afraid of her own kind and even dared to chase tigers.

The cat's speed was very fast. When they arrived at Quill Street in the University District where Dorothy lived, Xia De the cat did not feel tired at all. And Little Mia, who had probably never done such strenuous exercise, had run the whole way behind Xia De and looked excited at the moment.

"So when I left you alone to watch the house, you were secretly exercising behind my back, right?"

Little Mia didn't know what Xia De was saying, and when Xia De looked up, it squinted its eyes and came to rub against him again.

"Dorothy lives on the third floor of the apartment..."

The lights in that window were indeed already out. Thinking that Dorothy hadn't stayed up late to rush her manuscript tonight, Xia De raised his paw to pat Little Mia's little head and said to it:

"You wait for me here, don't run around, I'll be back soon."

Then he scattered into a group of red butterflies and flew into the high sky. After dispelling the spell at the third-floor window, it was a pity that he did not turn back into a human, but turned back into the silver cat again:

"If this problem can't be solved, I'm in big trouble."

Complaining in his heart, the silver cat squatted on the windowsill and looked down again, worried that Little Mia, who was left unattended, would get lost. But unexpectedly, what he saw was the orange cat taking a few steps back under the street lamp, then accelerating and rushing forward. After reaching the wall, it followed the steam pipe and scurried up the wall. In a few breaths, it arrived next to the silver cat and squatted on the third-floor windowsill with him.

The whole process was smooth and done in one go.

There were two flower pots outside the windowsill. Between the flower pots, Xia De looked at the cat he had raised for more than a year, knowing for the first time that although it was lazy and gluttonous, it still maintained the agility of a cat.
