The terrain here was higher, and Lord crouched in the direction Zheng Tan stood, allowing a view from here of the scene down the slope and the other woods in the distance inside the botanical garden.
However, Zheng Tan didn't think Lord was watching him; he was just looking at the distant scenery. Curious about the black cat's deep and unusual behavior, Zheng Tan wondered what it was all about—he had caught a bird but didn't eat it. Instead, he killed it instantly, which was nothing like the behavior of Ah Huang and the sheriff in the courtyard, who would play with their prey before eating it.
There were still birds around, including the same kind that had been hunted earlier, but Lord seemed no longer interested in them. Aside from his ears twitching at some sounds, his gaze hardly shifted around.
