On the lakeʼs shore, in the woods, on open ground.
A bunch of cats and a group of foxes were sitting separately, forming two distinct camps, glaring at each other. Additionally, a few scruffy little mice were squeezed between the cats and foxes, huddled together, shivering with fright.
Clearly, a conflict had arisen between the two groups of animals over their prey.
Leading the group of cats was the little ragdoll kitten that Zheng Qing had once kept by his side. The kitten had grown a lot over the days, and its courage had grown considerably as well. When Zheng Qing had first met him, it was even scared to get close to the group of cats, worried about being suppressed under the claws of a larger cat. But now, not only did the ragdoll kitten confidently strut around with its tail raised among the other cats, but it also occasionally bared its teeth and growled a few times at the foxes.
