Chapter 174 Two Flowers Bloom

After leaving the Institute of Abnormal Life, Zheng Qing did not return to school directly.

He held the cardboard box and walked along the winding pedestrian street for a long time, and finally found a cat cafe called 'Coffee Cat'. At the door of the store, squatting was an Egyptian cat made of white porcelain. It was tall and well-proportioned. There were two green gems embedded in its eye sockets, which shone charmingly under the dim street lights.

When seeing a guest coming to the door, the Egyptian cat just shook its ears and remained motionless, not even glancing at the guest. Zheng Qing believed that if it were a teddy bear or a Pomeranian squatting in front of the store, they would have started shouting early.

The young public-funded student carefully stepped over the alchemical cat and pushed open the glass door of the 'Coffee Cat'.

Behind the door is a tall cat climbing frame, with rough hemp ropes tightly tied to the wood and decorated with simple plates and branches. On the climbing frame, there are many "cat fruits" hanging in various directions, just like the cat fruit tree by Linzhong Lake. Zheng Qing also vaguely discovered a few of his old subordinates on this climbing frame, but because the human eye has a bias in recognizing cat faces, and those 'old subordinates' did not react positively to his arrival, he also I don’t know if I saw it wrong.

Taking a breath, Zheng Qing showed a satisfied smile on his face.

The air in the store was very fresh, much better than the smelly feeling he expected. You can see many green elves flying hurriedly among the vines falling overhead, collecting the long and short cat hairs left by the cats in the store, as well as the scent they scattered that may affect the guests' feelings.

The wizard stood at the door, looking left and right.

"Hello, who are you?" The clerk wearing brown trousers walked up quickly and greeted warmly.

"Ah, I'm looking for someone." Zheng Qing continued to search the store with his head.

"If you bring your own pet cat, our store can help take care of it." The coffee shop clerk glanced at the cardboard box in Zheng Qing's arms and said with hope: "For example, we can help your cat with grooming, scratching, cleaning, and feeding... …We can also feed it catnip if you wish.”

"Oh, cat?" Zheng Qing came to his senses, looked down at the cardboard box in his arms, then looked up at the enthusiastic clerk, and smiled: "I like cats. But my pet is a fox... and I I didn’t bring it with me today. There are some green elves in the box. They were sick and I took them to the doctor.”

As he spoke, he slightly lifted a corner of the carton.

A lively little elf came up in an instant, stuck its little head out of the box, stared at its two black eyes, and curiously observed its fellow creatures flying around in the air.

"That's right." The clerk nodded slightly disappointedly.

Zheng Qing soon found Elena in a corner of the store. The witch seemed to be aware of it, and raised her head at this time. After seeing Zheng Qing's figure, she waved to him.

The clerk smiled slightly, stopped disturbing, and quietly retreated.

"Jiang Yu said it would take you about half an hour to come... I didn't expect you to come so early." After arriving at the corner, Elena motioned for Zheng Qing to sit opposite him, and then leaned forward from the side. Pull up another chair.

The gypsy witch was wearing a red pleated half-length skirt today, with a high waist and hips, and a black shirt with a small V-neck on her upper body, adding a bit of sophistication to her charm. A bright red cloak hung on the back of the chair behind her, with the gypsy witch mark embroidered in gold thread faintly visible on it.

"Jiang Yu?" Zheng Qing showed a puzzled expression.

He and Elena had already planned to meet here. According to the idea of ​​the gypsy witch, they should choose a different place for every date, so that they will have a new feeling every time. It is best to eat all the small shops in the entire Beta town.

Zheng Qing was perfectly fine with this slightly willful choice. Although he is not yet a rich man, with the support of many previous bonuses and income from small shops, he still has enough money to invite Elena to sit in Beta Town every now and then.

"Yes, Jiang Yu." Elena closed the textbooks and homework at hand, and looked at the wizard with a smile: "You are not here today, so I asked Jiang Yu to help review the homework for the afternoon talisman class..."

"Jiang Yu is here too?" Zheng Qing sat on the chair and twisted his body uneasily. I don’t know if it’s because the wooden chair under me is a little too hard.

"She went to get coffee...ah, over there." Elena pointed to the other direction of the cafe.

Zheng Qing immediately recognized the familiar figure from the crowd.

Jiang Yuzheng brought a pot of coffee and walked towards the seat.

Today she wore a beige dress, nude fish-mouth high heels, her arms were bare, and a thin belt was tied around her waist. There was also a jade pendant that exuded a misty blue light hanging on the belt. Wearing a jade mingluan while walking, with high heels clanking, makes one's heart beat faster.

After seeing the figure of the public-funded student, Jiang Yu seemed to hesitate a little, but soon returned to normal and walked over as if nothing had happened, holding a cup of coffee.

"Maybe I should prepare an extra cup." After placing the coffee pot in her hand on the table, she waved to the air, and an elf quickly brought a new coffee cup up.

At the same time, the witch looked at the wizard with a smile: "Why did it end so early today? It usually takes an hour."

"There was no problem in the first place, so I came out earlier." Zheng Qing replied quietly.

Elena flashed her long eyelashes and looked curiously at the wizards and witches in front of her.

Zheng Qing reacted immediately and lifted up the cardboard box he had been holding in his arms: "It's to treat the elves. Jiang Yu introduced me to a senior alchemist before, and his skills are very superb..."

He deliberately emphasized the words 'alchemist' and 'highly skilled' in an attempt to draw the gypsy witch's attention. In this way, he might be able to find an opportunity to inadvertently leak the information about Dr. Duzem and solve the problem. The conundrum that plagued his mind.

It's just that Elena doesn't seem to be interested in alchemists treating elves - or, in her opinion, the alchemists who treat elves are not very skilled, even if they are superb.

So she quickly skipped the topic.

"Oh, that's it." The Gypsy Witch brushed her long hair around her ears, leaned forward, sniffed the coffee in the coffee pot, and said happily: "Wow, it smells so good... I feel energetic again. Feeling inspired."

Zheng Qing felt as if he was hitting a ball of cotton with his fist.
