"Holy geez, you scared the mice out of me!!"
As the chubby person screamed, the little mouse also squeaked in terror, with a vigor that even surpassed the chubby person. The black cat observed from the side.
Following the two screams were the noises of other animals – the loud cries of the big cat, the meows of the little cat, and occasionally the bleats of the Black Mountain Goat. All at once, the scene resembled that of a chaotic circus.
"Did the mouse just...talk? Did it seriously speak? What have you been feeding it?!" Lin Guo's voice seemed weak amidst the ruckus, but the black cat, shaking its ears, was able to hear him clearly.
It, too, finally snapped out of the shock.
"Everybody, quiet down!" The black cat lifted one of its front paws, swiping powerfully. In the wind, the paw swelled and instantly enlarged to the size of a millstone. It then slammed heavily against a leafless paulownia tree nearby, sending out a dull thud and causing a gust of wind.
