Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva
Chapter 1002 - 104: Conversation in the Snow_2

"No wonder." If it's Sequence 5, the resident animals in the shop can easily keep it under control, without being so passive.

But saying that, there are indeed a lot of wealthy people in the Central Star Domain. That white dog mentioned by Lemon is probably not very combative. Sequence 6 is purely a showpiece stacked up with resources, probably even beaten by some meticulously trained Sequence 5 animals, but even so, people are willing to spend money.

He must be some rich kid, rather than the simple hooligan as Lemon described.

While the two were talking, Wusuo, dressed in a white shirt, returned with two cups of hot coffee in hand.

"Miss Two is also here, want some?" He put down the coffee.

"No need, you drink it yourself." Lemon waved her hand, then watched curiously as Tilan took the coffee.

Gently sniffed, then took a small sip. The faint bitter taste of the coffee spread, quickly dissipated, and then a light sweet aftertaste appeared, rich in layers.

"Mr. Wusuo's coffee is indeed nice." Tilan commented.

"I told you, Miss Two, you see, even Zi Jin thinks my coffee brewing skills are on point." Wusuo was quite satisfied, then continued sitting on the sofa and turned on the news broadcast on the projection screen.

[Today, the exchange team from the Flying Feather Star Domain officially arrived, many of whom are students from universities in the Flying Feather Star Domain, including the special guest 'Star Ring Rhythm' Ms. Xuelanke...]

"The Winter Festival celebration is about to start, and this exchange team is expected to compete against several renowned schools in Academy City." Lemon recounted the news message.

"Last winter didn't seem this lively." Tilan recalled.

"Yes, university and high school are different; the winter competition is no longer a full-regional confrontation but an exchange event among some colleges, generally every two years."

"Xuelanke is about the same age as Ailu Kelu and the others, only two years older. Now that she's here, it's estimated that the two will have to face off as a key highlight."

"By the way, is Zi Jin participating in the intercollegiate exchange competition? I heard that elite schools send their top students to showcase their school's strength, which is how the university rankings come about."

"Me? I don't think I've received a notification." Tilan thought about it. She really hadn't heard any news on that front, guessing the Songstress wouldn't be involved in such intercollegiate confrontation events.

After the few chatted for a while, Tilan stood up, ready to take a stroll around the shop to see how everyone was doing.

"It's coming down." As she headed out the door, Tilan waved at the ceiling, then the two in the room noticed the upside-down large spider above.

"Ah—"

Lemon was startled on the spot, then reacted, whereas Wusuo, though surprised, ended up laughing at Lemon's scream.

Following behind Tilan, the large spider nimbly wandered around, looking here and checking there; luckily, in this employee area, there weren't many people, only some animals in cages being vigilant of this suddenly appearing large spider.

All the way to the dormitory area at the back, Tilan spotted some familiar faces, such as the lazy big tiger of the store manager and some long-term fostered animals. Finally, she arrived at the attic, but found that the familiar black lion wasn't there.

Has it left? Tilan thought for a moment, then walked downstairs to the back free-range yard and finally saw that familiar figure on the grass.

"Roar—" With a low growl, it shook its mane, brushing off the snowflakes on top, then this black lion lightly stepped through the snowy grass toward Tilan.

"Seeing an old friend?" A woman viewing the scenery in the snow turned around, wearing dark sunglasses, with only a thin coat despite the winter.

Watching the black lion approach, Tilan squatted, reached into its thick mane, scratching it, then watched as it closed its eyes and lay down, its limbs relaxing and slightly swaying in the air.

At the same time, the woman in sunglasses also walked over from the snow.

"Hi, there. Seeing how familiar you are with the 'Black Prince,' you must be Zi Jin." She removed her sunglasses, revealing brown and lively eyes.

"That's me, are you Ms. Emily?" Tilan remembered that the owner of the 'Black Prince' was Emily.

"That's right, looks like Lemon told you quite a lot about me." She squatted, but only to pat the lion's rump, urging it to get up.

"Let's go, let's sit over there." Though the snow wasn't heavy, standing in the snow talking was indeed inconvenient.

The two, with the lion, walked side by side in the snow. Earlier, the large spider following Tilan now changed the color of its hair, phasing its body, hiding itself within the snowflakes happily running around.

Tilan felt at ease about it, not concerned if it wasn't following, as calling it over was easy if needed.

Let it play; after all, following her and staying home every day is dull, so it's rare to come out for a break.

Arriving at the observation deck by the courtyard, the black lion lay next to the two, occasionally yawning as if relaxing.

"Zi Jin graduated from the Academy for Breeders?" Emily said, petting the lion beside her.

"Yes."

"Very impressive, everyone at the shop, including the guests, says you're reliable and great."

"Thank you."

"I'm usually very busy with work, and don't have much time to take care of the 'Black Prince,' generally placing it here, and occasionally coming over to see it." Emily spoke about her life.
