Chapter 67: Guestland
Poseidon now spends most of his time at Qingqiu Mansion.
When Zheng Qing went to pick up the little guy, he saw Su Ya who was busy weeding the watermelon in the garden of No. 54 Courtyard in the West District of Beta Town.
Sunlight, rain and magic jointly nourish this small garden. The watermelons in the garden are growing happily one by one. They are not much smaller than a hobbit house. It was said to be weeding, but Zheng Qing felt that Su Ya was just looking for an excuse to play. She used colorful yarn and petals to tailor a suit of clothes for every grass spirit she could catch.
The grass spirits lay like dead corpses in the hands of the little fox maid, letting her play with them.
"You are killing their nature," the young public-funded student stood outside the fence and advised kindly: "The book says that grass spirits like to wear clothes woven from cattails and tung leaves... instead of flower petals."
Su Ya immediately hid the 'little toy' in her hand behind her back, stood up, and looked at the visitor with a wary face: "I don't care about you...what are you doing here?"
Because she stood up a little faster, her big tail accidentally fell out of her skirt, revealing a fluffy tip of her tail.
After noticing the wizard's gaze, the little fox girl screamed and threw the grass spirit towards Zheng Qing. At the same time, she ran towards the mansion, shouting: "Indecent!!"
Zheng Qing felt like his head was full of black lines.
The thrown grass spirit slid through a graceful arc in mid-air and finally hit the young public-funded student.
It stretched out its slender nails, nimbly hooked into the slit in the wizard's robe, and landed firmly on his shoulder. Before he could stand upright, he quickly removed the messy petal lint from his body - no longer looking like he was about to die more than ten seconds ago - and then ran away along the seam of the wizard's robe. Lost.
Naked.
Zheng Qing followed the grass spirit for a long time, then turned around and saw Xiao Xiao's questioning eyes.
"I remember that the book said that grass spirits are asexual creatures, so I'm a little curious." The young public-funded student shrugged: "I just took a look and it is indeed different from us..."
This time, Xiao Xiao looked at him a little strangely.
"boom!"
There was a loud sound from the front door of Qingqiu Mansion, and then a white shadow flashed across the garden, jumped over the fence, and jumped into Zheng Qing's arms, knocking him staggering.
"Murder!" The wizard felt a tightness in his chest, and when he saw a few cake crumbs stuck to the corner of the little fox's mouth, he immediately shouted: "How many times have I told you to eat less cake and exercise more, why don't you listen? A lady should be thin!”
Poseidon swung his tail at the wizard's face, causing him to narrow his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, the cake crumbs at the corner of the little fox's mouth had been licked clean, leaving no trace. At the same time, it breathed hard to make its waist look more slender.
Haha, you self-deceiving fool.
Following the little fox, Su Man, the head maid of Qingqiu Mansion, appeared at the door. Su Ya hid behind her, exposed her little head, and looked at Zheng Qing with gritted teeth.
"Miss already knows your purpose of coming." The head maid was wearing a plain robe, holding her hands in front of her belly, and bowed her head slightly: "She asked Dongdong to go early and come back early, and pay attention to safety... and don't eat the mermaids. Live maggot cheese or blue cheese.”
Zheng Qing nodded honestly.
The head maid bowed slightly again, then quietly backed away with the little fox girl behind her.
The wizard turned to look at his companion and complained: "Who knows how to eat maggots?"
"Live maggot cheese is a mermaid delicacy with a very unique flavor. And maggots taste much better than frog offal." The doctor patiently analyzed: "Just because you don't like eating it doesn't mean that foxes don't have this preference... Speaking of which, do you have any? Do you think Qingqiu Mansion is interested in your little fox?"
Zheng Qing's heart tightened, and he muttered haha to get rid of the topic.

…
The venue of Quankelaiwei Fair is in a quiet small inlet on the side of the mouth of Silent River.
The water bay has no name, but it was temporarily named "Ke Lai Bay" because it was going to hold a fair for Quan Ke Lai.
The bay is shallow and clear, with rugged rocks on the shore and no bushes. It cannot hide any traces of magic - whether they are guests on the shore or businessmen in the water, they will feel at ease looking at such an environment.
The meeting place agreed upon by Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu was at the entrance of Ke Laiwan.
It's still early.
Zheng Qing deliberately chose to come a little early. He planned to figure out the procedures for entering and exiting the fair before the witch arrived, so as not to show his timidity in front of everyone.
This matter is not difficult. The boy only needs to waste a little time and stand at the entrance of Kelai Bay for a while. He will see wizards wearing cloaks and robes of various colors coming from all directions of Phuket Island and getting into the end of the bay. In the hollow of a decayed oak tree - some people, like Zheng Qing, came through the fast lane of the First Square; but there were also many wizards who rode brooms, sat on magic carpets, or even rode giant eagles and pegasus. Come.
They left the vehicle casually in the open space outside the oak tree.
Broomsticks or magic carpets are okay. After all, they are alchemy products and lack a sense of autonomy. After being thrown into the open space by the owner, they will just stay in place. But those giant eagles and pegasus had fun after their owners got into the tree hole.
In just over ten minutes, Zheng Qing had already witnessed three animal fighting accidents.
"Doesn't the school care?" The wizard looked at this chaotic scene, feeling a little uneasy.
"Why do you care? How do you care?" Xiao Xiao played with his goatee and asked: "The school already has enough things to deal with. Should it also deal with animal fights?"
"Zhizhi!" Poseidon shouted twice in agreement.
Zheng Qing scratched its ears, let go of the topic, and took out the invitation letter given to him by Professor Garcia from the gray cloth bag. On the cover of the invitation, there is an oak mark inlaid with silver thread, which is almost exactly the same as the oak tree that the wizards drilled into the tree hole just now.
"This is it," he repeated as if to cheer himself up: "Yes, this is it."
The hole in the decayed oak tree doesn't look big from the outside, but after getting into the hole, there's another cave. A pond about a mile in radius occupies most of the space in the tree hole. Above the pond, the mist is sinking, and many fish-like spirits can be faintly seen floating in it.
"Would you like to cast a spell on your head? Sir!" An enthusiastic voice interrupted the guest's thinking.
Zheng Qing turned around and saw a big goldfish with bulging eyes looking at him with its tail propped up on its body. The fish's mouth opened and closed, and the enthusiasm of the aquarium rushed to his face: "Five coppers a night, a child with no deception... Although there is no need for a head-soaking charm in the Wei market, the bulk goods stalls outside the Wei market are absolutely inoperable without a head-soaking charm, sir?"
