Chapter 850: Chapter 198 Inside the Shop

"Enough!"

A voice tinged with anger came from the entrance, shattering the peculiar yet tranquil atmosphere that had settled in the small shop due to the Yellow Flowered Cat.

To be honest, although the voice was pleasant to hear, the tone that accompanied it seemed somewhat impolite and a bit rough, and it carried a certain condescension, almost as if giving a ’command.’

Most people would find it hard to remain calm and composed under such a tone.

But the wizards inside the D&K shop, regardless of their age, status, or gender, demonstrated sufficient patience towards the warning that came from the doorway, with no one bristling in opposition.

Because the wizard who spoke was Su Shijun.

The number one beauty in the wizard world, an Upper House member of the Moon Council, the heir of the Qingqiu Su Family—and most importantly, she was now a Big Wizard.

A genuine powerhouse who had obtained the title of Big Wizard before the age of thirty—if nothing unexpected happened, Su Shijun would definitely and inevitably step into the mysterious world that lay beyond the realm of Big Wizards—that’s why First University, for her talent, had arranged a highly advanced laboratory for the witch, despite the wizard world’s private suppression and restrictions against the Moon Council.

This array of dazzling titles not only made Su Shijun’s image even more splendid—it also widened the gap between her and ordinary wizards.

As if she were a very bright and shining star in the sky.

A star that everyone could admire from the ground but could hardly touch.

Zheng Qing had indeed touched this star and had quite a few interactions with this star. But deep in the young state-funded student’s heart, it felt more like touching the star through a reflection on the water.

Cold, illusory, filled with a sense of unreality.

Take, for example, today’s opening of the D&K shop.

Though Zheng Qing had sent an invitation to the Qingqiu Club, deep down, he didn’t hold much hope that Su Shijun would personally show up in this little store.

The young state-funded student even felt that it would be more likely for Old Yao to show up in the shop than for Su Shijun. After all, based on the frequency of regular contact, he seemed to interact with Old Yao a bit more.

However, probability is, after all, just probability.

Today, Su Shijun did not send a maid from her house to make an appearance in a perfunctory manner; instead, it was Old Yao who couldn’t make it because he was tied up with something.

...

Following that angry reprimand, a white Little Fox whooshed out from the embrace of the tall witch at the door and, in a flash, took a few steps to gain momentum and leapt into the arms of the young state-funded student, squeaking softly.

Completely disregarding the various strange and speculative glances around the room.

Zheng Qing, holding the fluffy Little Fox, felt as if he was clutching a grenade with the pin pulled out. He wanted to throw it away, yet he was afraid that its landing spot would be atop a much larger bomb.

This left him unsure whether to let go or to hold on tighter.

Fortunately, Poseidon didn’t make things any harder for him. The Little Fox had its own claws, which it used to firmly latch onto the warlock’s body.

Li Meng opened her mouth, as if wanting to say something, but Jiang Yu, who was standing next to her, was quick to react, swiftly grabbing the large Tail of the cat in her arms and stuffing it into her mouth.

A bit disgusting, but still better than saying the wrong thing and being taken away by the legendary ill-tempered Su Daxu, who appeared to be in a foul mood at the moment, to be hung up and beaten.

Caught off guard by the Tail being bitten, the Flower Cat ’Ao’ leapt out of the Little Witch’s embrace and after landing, looked back at her resentfully, then shook its Tail and headed without looking back to the corner of the room where the cat congregation was gathered.

Li Meng, for her part, paid no mind to settling the score, merely spitting repeatedly on the side.

The small commotion from the woman and the cat effectively disrupted the strange mood in the room and also eased the previously tense atmosphere.

"Wow... That’s really, really quite unexpected."

The Duke Milton, who had been sitting cross-legged on the counter, seemed to finally come to his senses. He raised his hand and greeted Su Shijun without a hint of surprise, but with a tone filled with resignation, "Su Su, you shouldn’t have come today."

"Shut up! Don’t call me by that disgusting name!"

Su Shijun threw out several hazy Wind Blades, which smashed towards the vampire’s face.

A flash of red flame passed by, and the amulet the Duke Milton was carrying effectively neutralized Su Daxu’s attack, without showing any weakness.

His Grace immediately raised his hand, signaling surrender.

But he still insisted, repeating his opinion, "You really shouldn’t have come today."

Su Shijun looked at him deeply, took out a card, and flicked it toward the vampire, "You’re the ones who shouldn’t have come. I have an invitation, I can be here."

The red and black card whistled softly as it cut through the air, embedding deeply in the countertop, to the lament of a certain scholarship student who watched on.

"Quite unexpected," the vampire duke glanced at the card and then squinted at a certain warlock, murmuring to himself, "No, it’s not unexpected at all."

You’re like a parrot with a split personality!

The young scholarship student, listening to Duke Milton’s repetitive catchphrases, couldn’t help but roar inwardly.

"Actually, I’m here to offer congratulations."

The vampire’s tone shifted suddenly, then pointed meaningfully at Zheng Qing standing to the side, "I even prepared a gift for him."

Zheng Qing shuddered at being pointed out by Milton, fearing he’d say something outrageous and terrifying on the spot.

Fortunately, the vampire seemed to consider Su Daxu’s feelings and refrained from saying too much in front of others.

"This little shop is quite interesting, filled with many interesting people... and animals."

"The owner is also interesting... and more or less responsible, not hiding and trembling behind someone else."

"So, even if you hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have caused too much trouble."

Su Shijun listened to the vampire’s rambling without any expression on her face.

Only when he had finished did the witch speak.

"Are you done?"

"Good... Leave the gift, and you may go."

"The emergency response team from the School Works Committee will be here in three minutes."

"The Trident Sword’s patrol officers are only one street away."

"If you want to deal with them or fill out a three-hundred-page situation report, feel free to stay and keep talking that nonsense."

Upon hearing Su Shijun’s warning, Duke Milton opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but the witch immediately interrupted him.

"Shut up!" she glared at the vampire sternly, her tone forceful, "If it weren’t for the Council’s sake, given your current behavior, you wouldn’t be able to leave even a shadow behind."

"The Blood Race doesn’t have shadows to begin with." Duke Milton chuckled dryly, paused, then glanced at the young wizards and added, "Besides, I didn’t really do anything to them... Just a joke, a little scare, that’s all."

"That’s why you have the chance to leave Buji Island quietly," Su Shijun stated.
