Before long, Zhang Tao brought Lu Hao and the cat to a country-style restaurant. "The owner here has a unique talent for studying cuisine. I used to eat here often before I reached high rank. You definitely won't be disappointed."
Zhang Tao led the man and cat into a private room. After ordering, Gray Cat finally removed the Mental Barrier around itself.
Only then did Zhang Tao see Gray Cat's appearance for the first time. He was rather surprised by what he saw. He had assumed Gray Cat was simply called Gray Cat—who would have thought it was actually a huge orange tabby? Of course, this orange tabby was different from cats on Earth. Its vivid fur and the fiery red light flowing over it all proved that it was no ordinary orange tabby.
Lu Hao took out some food from his Storage Space and handed it to Gray Cat. One hand gave it food, while the other patted its head, thoroughly ruffling its fur. After all, he had spent five days in seclusion refining his divine weapon and had not petted a cat's head once during that time.
Seeing this, Zhang Tao curiously wanted to pet it as well, but Gray Cat instantly dodged away. Was this cat's head something just anyone could touch? Zhang Tao did not mind. Once the dishes arrived and Gray Cat began eating contentedly, Lu Hao spoke from beside it. "Minister Zhang, the timing wasn't right before, but this is a good opportunity. I can clear up some of your doubts now. Ask whatever you want. As for Gray Cat, there's no need to ask it anything. This cat is rather dim-witted and doesn't know some things. If it only gives you scraps of information, it may affect your judgment."
"You're the dim-witted one!
