Witch Special

Chapter 289 Backward Compatibility of Magic Books

Nothing happened that night, and Lin Zhenxi got up from the bed at around three or four in the morning.

……

Is there something wrong with this timing?

There's nothing wrong. This is the Bavaru Library, buried XX meters underground. The change of day and night has no effect here at all. You can get up at any time you want.

So Lin Zhenxi just slept until she woke up naturally, after all, she went to bed quite early yesterday.

As Lin Zhenxi was getting dressed, her arm brushed against the pendant around her neck, and she remembered that she hadn't let the black cat out yesterday. She'd missed her all day, and she didn't know why she hadn't come out on her own.

She turned the pendant into a witch's book, placed it on the bed, and knocked on the cover of the witch's book, just like knocking on a door.

"Yanyan, get up."

The Witch's Book shook twice, but did not open by itself, and the black cat did not come out from it. The book even turned over, with its butt facing Lin Zhenxi.

Lin Zhenxi laughed when she saw this. It turned out that he didn't forget to come out, but was just in a bad mood.

Was it because of the Book of Truth? Did Yanyan feel that she didn't want Lin Zhenxi anymore because she had other books? Indeed, Lin Zhenxi had been holding the Book of Truth for a long time yesterday. Perhaps Yanyan was upset because she had other books.

Lin Zhenxi began to tickle the Witch Book. The Witch Book shivered and rolled back and forth on the bed.

But the black cat's attitude was very firm. He just wouldn't come out no matter what.

After fiddling with the Witch's Book for a while, Lin Zhenxi gave up and turned to tempting with delicious food.

"Yanyan, let me tell you, we're in a truly wealthy family. The house alone is larger than the entire residential complex in the main world. The head maid here is a jack of all trades. She cooks delicious dishes and is proficient in both Chinese and Western cuisine. The snacks she makes are even better, exquisite and delicious. Shall I take you to try some?"

A cat's tail emerged from the Witch's Book, swaying back and forth, as if ready to move. However, the black cat finally resisted the temptation and refused to crawl out of the book. She even reluctantly pulled back the disobedient tail that had its own ideas.

Okay... This time, even food couldn't be caught by Black Cat, which showed Lin Zhenxi her determination.

Lin Zhenxi then held up the Witch Book with both hands, stared at its cover and said, "Don't worry, Yanyan. It's just a reference book. It has no life. Its only function is to help me look up information. And you are my most important partner. No matter what happens, I will never abandon you."

"Really?" Black Cat squeezed his head out from the spine of the Witch Book and stared at Lin Zhenxi with his round eyes. "I don't believe it unless you sign a document."

"Is it so troublesome?" Lin Zhenxi touched the black cat's furry little head and rubbed its ears.

The black cat couldn't open its eyes after being rubbed by Lin Zhenxi. Unable to bear it any longer, it opened its mouth and started to bite Lin Zhenxi's palm, looking very fierce.

Of course, only her head was exposed now, and even if her neck could twist 180 degrees, she couldn't bite anyone. Lin Zhenxi could only feel the cat ball rolling in the palm of her hand, which felt great.

After realizing that his resistance was futile, the black cat gave in and let Lin Zhenxi rub him until he was grinning.

Then, after Lin Zhenxi withdrew her hand, the black cat stretched out its pink tongue and licked the tip of its nose. Then, it said to Lin Zhenxi, "Otherwise, let the cat eat the book!"

Anyway, the only magic book you can hold in your hands and flip through is mine, no other book can.

When Lin Zhenxi heard this, she felt embarrassed. "Hey... this book is useful, and it was given to me by Teacher Patchouli. It's not a good idea to give it to you right now."

"Hmph, you don't keep your word. Maki is a liar." The black cat turned its head away, not looking at Lin Maki angrily.

"This is a practical question, okay? How could I have lied to you?" Lin Zhenxi said as she rubbed the black cat's head, the area between its two ears, with her fingers.

"Maki, you know the Witch Book is backwards compatible, right? Any magic book with a mystery level no higher than the Witch Book can be fed to a cat, and the cat will directly gain the knowledge recorded in the book, meow."

A more efficient way to acquire knowledge than reading and learning has emerged!

"You just need to eat the magic book to directly obtain the knowledge in it? Do you apply it mechanically or do you understand it all directly?"

"Maki...all my knowledge of magic comes from you. If you don't know something, I certainly don't know it either." The black cat made a (ー`′ー) expression and looked at the delusional Lin Maki speechlessly.

That’s right, the black cat usually behaves so smartly that Lin Zhenxi even forgot that she is actually a magical creature without a brain, and thought she was a person in cat skin.

Even if one day the black cat transformed into a cute cat-eared loli, Lin Zhenxi would not feel strange.

After some thought, Lin Zhenxi took out the Book of Truth from the Space Cube and placed it in front of the Witch's Book.

"Yanyan, strictly speaking, it's really hard for me to give you this book directly. Because it was given to me by Teacher Patchouli, it's a gift from my teacher. I should keep it properly and not damage it. So unless you can spit it out intact after eating it, I can't let you eat it. Do you understand?"

"I got it, meow. Now let the cat eat this book." The black cat said, and opened its mouth to show its bloody mouth to Lin Zhenxi.

"No, no, no, Yanyan, did you listen to me? This is a very important book, very commemorative. It will be very difficult for me if you eat it." Lin Zhenxi held the Book of Truth a little further away from the Witch's Book to prevent the black cat from coming out and biting off a corner of the Book of Truth.

Even though the black cat couldn't even bite the skin off Lin Zhenxi's hand when she was fussing in her arms, her claws could draw magic circles directly on the concrete floor, and tearing a book was a piece of cake. Even her claws were so sharp, so the power of her teeth was naturally beyond words.

Although it looks like a cute pet, if the black cat starts to destroy the house like crazy, it would probably be more terrifying than several huskies combined. It would be like a tornado destroying a parking lot.

The black cat looked at Lin Zhenxi angrily, silently criticizing Lin Zhenxi's distrust of him with his eyes.

"The Witch Book ate the magic book, which is equivalent to expanding the content. Maki, what are you thinking? You don't really think the cat is going to destroy other magic books, meow."

"No way?"

"No meow!"

"That's fine." Lin Zhenxi breathed a sigh of relief and put down the Book of Truth. He placed it in front of the Witch's Book.

The Witch's Book opened by itself, and then the black cat crawled out from it. Like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, it pressed its front paws on the Book of Truth.

Then she looked up at Lin Zhenxi, who was also looking down at her.

"What are you looking at?"

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Zhenxi replied subconsciously.

"Not very good." Black Cat drooped his ears, but still stubbornly looked at Lin Zhenxi, "But Zhenxi, you look at me like this, I can't let go."

Lin Zhenxi almost burst out laughing when she heard it, "Come on, how can I not know what you eat like? Now you know it's embarrassing, you are so funny."

The black cat plopped down on the bed, holding the bear in its front paws as it said seriously, "This time it's different, meow. This time the cat is going to swallow a book whole, so Maki can't read it."

"Okay, okay, I'll turn my head." Lin Zhenxi held back her laughter and turned her head towards the door.

Actually, Lin Zhenxi considered making a surprise attack, saying that she would not look at it and then suddenly turning her head away. But then she thought that breaking her promise did not seem to be a good idea. Since she said she would not look at it, she might as well not look at it.

Then she heard a series of strange noises.

First there was an "ah-woo," then a "gulp," and finally a "burp."

I have to say, this is weird.

"Are you done, Yanyan?" Lin Zhenxi restrained the urge to turn her head away with great willpower and asked first.

"Okay, gulp." Yanyan made a sound of indigestion.

Lin Zhenxi then turned around and saw a square cat.

Oh, to be precise, it's a cat with a black fur ball on top of a square.

"Pfft..." Lin Zhenxi couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at? Maki, you're so annoying." The black cat wanted to punch Lin Maki with a cat punch, but its square body completely destroyed her sense of balance, causing her to fall backwards on the bed, kicking her legs like a pure black turtle that couldn't turn over.

Lin Zhenxi couldn't hold back her hands, so she pounced on the black cat and started rubbing her belly, kneading her like a plush doll.

"How did you become like this? It's all square!"

"It takes time to digest food, meow, don't move, meow meow meow." The black cat was so disturbed by Lin Zhenxi that he couldn't concentrate and started to scream anxiously.

Lin Zhenxi stopped torturing Black Cat and instead focused on watching how she was getting rid of her big square belly.

Black Cat tried several times but still couldn't sit up, so she simply gave up struggling and lay on the bed to start practicing. Lin Zhenxi saw her body slowly swell up, gradually turning into a round black cat balloon, as if it would float up at the next moment.

However, it did not fly in the end. Instead, after expanding to the size of a basketball, it began to shrink again, and its square body returned to its normal shape during the shrinking process.

Before long, the black cat turned back into the familiar look of Lin Zhenxi, except that she had some new decorations on her body. The blue bow on her head turned into a bowler hat, and she also had a pair of monocles in her left eye, which made her look very scientific.

Of course, it's also very cute.

The black cat in this chapter is super cute, isn't it?

The typhoon came, but then it didn't come.

It is clearly a level 16 typhoon, but it is just cloudy outside now. Not to mention raining, there is not even any wind. It is so boring. I also want to take some photos and videos of the typhoon day as a souvenir.

Want some tickets?
