The tuxedo cat held its tail high, the tip of its tail trembling slightly with excitement.

This was its carefully selected target, after discreet observation.

This family was financially stable, with a pleasant atmosphere. Most importantly, they didn't have any pets, and when they went out, they didn't show any aversion to stray animals.

After many days of observation, the tuxedo cat decided to choose this house as its new cafeteria.

As for its partner, the Yellow Mouse, who knows what breed it is? Even after becoming a demon, its survival abilities in the wild might not be as good as those distant relatives in the sewers.

After the two formed their cat and mouse 'Immortal Jump' team, under the guidance of the tuxedo cat, they had at least secured a worry-free life of food and drink.

The tuxedo cat chose this house for another important reason: the family hadn't installed surveillance cameras indoors.

It painfully gave up the last house, because besides wanting to take it to get neutered, they had also caught it giving food to the little mouse on camera.

The family showed it the video and said they wanted it to catch mice, not to raise one itself.

Before leaving, the tuxedo cat secretly deleted the video, painfully leaving behind the tasty canned food. If it didn't leave, and they uploaded the video online, and it was discovered by the Scorching Sun Department, it might never get to pull another 'Immortal Jump.'

Rumor has it that humans are cracking down hard on scams these days, and if it got caught swindling food, drinks, and lodging here, it didn't dare imagine the consequences.

So, the tuxedo cat quickly fled, choosing another place.

It grabbed a pack of frozen snacks, whisking away its little mouse partner overnight.

Now seeing the little girl of this house, who's not afraid of cats and even dares to squat down and call to it, the tuxedo cat's tail lifted even higher.

This was a sure bet.

Just then, its ears twitched, hearing the anxious, hurried squeaks of the little mouse.

When the little girl heard the noise, she immediately raised her head and retreated cautiously back into the room, closing the floor-to-ceiling window.

The tuxedo cat yawned, opened its mouth, catching the scent in the air, then put on an act of vigilance, looking around, finally jumping onto the window sill, sniffing about.

Finally, once the little mouse's sounds disappeared, the tuxedo cat instantly understood that the act was done.

It laid comfortably on the sill, holding its head high and ears upright, as if on guard.

It's best to settle in first.

The first lesson it learned was that to eat well, you have to take initiative.

The tuxedo cat settled in, and the little girl inside was quite excited, pulling over her mother to look at the tuxedo cat perched outside together.

"This cat looks clean, shiny and slick, could it be someone's lost cat?"

"I don't know, it heard a mouse earlier and just waited here."

"I'll check in the owner's group to see if anyone lost a cat." The woman took out her phone, snapped a picture, and posted it in the owner's group to inquire, but nobody came to claim it.

The little girl quietly opened a small carton of yogurt, secretly offering it to the tuxedo cat outside the window.

The tuxedo cat didn't hesitate, sniffing before eating quickly.

The little girl couldn't resist, carefully reaching out her hand to touch the tuxedo cat's head, which didn't resist, continuing to eat.

It stopped after eating more than half, sat there washing its face and hands.

The little girl happily went to ask her mother.

"Mom, is it someone's lost cat?"

"No one's answered, probably not. If it were mine, I might have some impression."

"Can we keep it? It's so well-behaved; let's have it help catch mice."

Her mother looked at the tuxedo cat sitting outside the window, which was quiet and clean, and seemed quite tame, so she didn't immediately refuse.

"Let's see for now."

With ease, the tuxedo cat settled in, the little girl already excitedly taking out her phone, ready to buy a cat bed, cat litter, and canned cat food.

The tuxedo cat was very happy, but just a dozen meters away, the Yellow Mouse was anxiously circling around, still not seeing the tuxedo cat coming.

The Yellow Mouse's senses are extremely sharp, especially to danger. It was very sure that for a moment, the little girl felt very terrifying.

Just like before when they were in Nanwu County, once feeling the presence of the Tuoba Martial God, it was scared stiff.

Oh, maybe it wasn't quite the same; the Tuoba Martial God's Yang Energy was too overwhelming, discomforting them even from dozens of miles away.

This time felt more like once when foraging at night, looking up and suddenly seeing a thick Giant Python hanging on the treetop, that eerie feeling which left it petrified, was just like now.

Even more frightening than that; its mind seemed to freeze in an instant.

The Yellow Mouse was about to flee, but it remembered the tuxedo cat's advice.

We're in this together, if there's food for me, there will surely be food for you, and if we're caught because of 'Immortal Jump,' it won't betray you, even if it dies.

The tuxedo cat indeed was loyal, always leaving some food for it.

So, despite being scared out of its wits, it endured the fear to call for the tuxedo cat.

After a long while, still no sign of the tuxedo cat's shadow, no sound to be heard, the Yellow Mouse braced itself, sneaked into the yard, and softly called a few more times.
