Sitting in the pumpkin car, Zheng Qing was still worried about the unicorn's sneak attack just now.
Because of the sudden lick, he had to touch up his makeup on the carriage. Fortunately, the pumpkin carriage this time was not the inferior one he had seen last year. It had an exquisite appearance and a gorgeous interior, including sofas, coffee tables, window sill curtains, etc.
, just like a small living room in a mansion.
More importantly, sitting on this pumpkin cart, Zheng Qing could hardly feel any bumps or hear any noise.
If it weren't for the occasional flash of scenery outside the window, he would have thought he was still in Qingqiu Mansion.
"Why don't you wipe it and then touch it up?"
The young government-funded student felt that the head maid squatting in front of him was touching her makeup with the powder puff, and couldn't help but remind her in a low voice: "I feel that the area on my face is still wet..."
He raised his arm and tried to point to the spot where the unicorn had licked him.
"do not move!"
The head maid was holding a powder box in her hand and was carefully looking at the flaws on Zheng Qing's face. Seeing this, she made a serious face and said, "You should feel lucky. Unicorn saliva is a precious nourishing potion that can be used directly."
Its saliva is used to replenish the base of makeup... If it is a Yeqi, Jiyang (shaped like a horse), or Tulu (shaped like a sheep), all the makeup on your face will be ruined."
Zheng Qingke didn't feel lucky at all.
"It's time for your unicorn to learn manners." The boy muttered softly.
"This matter has nothing to do with my unicorn."
The head maid stopped what she was doing and argued seriously: "This is a mistake on my part. I will report it to the lady later and accept the punishment. I shouldn't let unicorns pull my cart... but they are friendly to you."
It’s really beyond my expectation.”
"No, no." The young government-funded student noticed the dissatisfied looks of the other fox maids in the room, and stiffened his body to stop them: "I was also reckless, and it has nothing to do with you."
Su Man lowered her eyelids, and a smile seemed to flash in her eyes.
"Do you know why you were not attacked by a unicorn?" After a long time, she still couldn't restrain her curiosity and asked casually.
The fox maids in every corner of the room all raised their pointed ears.
Of course Zheng Qing had his own doubts. Just like those demons were interested in his own blood, beings like unicorns should be interested in his own breath.
But naturally you can't tell the head maid about this kind of thing.
"Is it possible that the unicorn likes the cosmetic material?" He tried hard to find a suitable excuse: "Or is it just because I'm pretty?"
Su Man worked very hard to make her eye roll look a little more polite.
The distance between Qingqiu Mansion and Alpha Fort was not far. Zheng Qing originally complained that he had to take a pumpkin cart for such a short journey. However, he didn't reach his destination until he finished applying makeup and sat there for a long time.
"Isn't the ball held in Alphaburg?"
He carefully lifted up the curtains by the window and looked outside. Under the night, everything was dark and dimly dotted with twinkling stars in the distance, but they couldn't be seen clearly.
"Of course not." The head maid said the answer that was not surprising to Zheng Qing: "After all, there is a difference between Yuexia and Alpha. You can open the window and look outside. You don't have to be so careful..."
The wizard, who could no longer hold himself back any longer, opened the window with a huff.
The howling cold wind rushed towards my face.
The window was empty. The pumpkin cart had already left the bluestone road in Beta Town and was flying towards the golden full moon in the sky. The pleasant neighing of the unicorn came with the wind, adding more excitement to the journey.
A somewhat mysterious and magnificent color.
But for some reason, Zheng Qing always felt that the clouds floating outside were a little stiff.
"Everything you see is an illusion,"
The head maid explained with a smile at the right time: "If you want to hold a dance on the moon, even First University would be hard-pressed to have such courage... The pumpkin car will enter a secret place in the school under the guidance of the invitation. We have already arrived there.
The area covered by the aura of the secret realm."
Zheng Qing stood on the window sill and looked at the moon in the sky.
Sure enough, compared to the real cold moon, the golden outline above the head is more like the open pupils of a giant beast.
The pumpkin cart continues to climb.
The moment it touched the 'pupil', a circle of ripples like water ripples appeared on the golden wheel. Huh, a subtle sticky feeling flashed away from the window, and the pumpkin car suddenly appeared in a tall Baroque style building.
Before construction.
There is a full moon like a jade disk above the head, and the cool moonlight is scattered all over the ground. On the left and right of the building are tall street lamps, and there are two lighthouses like flower beds, which together illuminate the entire courtyard.
The elegant sounds of the violins flowed in the night, occasionally mixed with the neighing of animals, the clatter of horse hooves and the low groans of carriage drivers. Guests dressed in costumes wore tall pointed hats and carried their own gifts.
With a reserved smile on his face, he stepped politely and distantly onto the steps of His Majesty in the building.
The tall nave has five porches, and between each porch stand two pillars. The pillars are carved with exaggerated and gorgeous decorations. The uneven walls on the left and right are embedded with irregular rocks, which are in harmony with the surroundings.
The orange lights echo each other, creating a strong light and shadow effect.
Further up, the second floor is a row of tall floor-to-ceiling windows. Orange lights shine through the windows, as if to greet the guests. There are lively dance parties and sweet snacks upstairs.
The pumpkin car of Qingqiu Mansion was parked in front of the central porch. The eye-catching rotating nine-tail logo on the car attracted many people's attention. They whispered to each other cautiously and looked at the pumpkin car with excitement in their eyes.
Zheng Qing suddenly didn't want to get out of the car.
"Ahem," he cleared his throat and asked confidently, "Can I wait in the car for Sister Su to come?"
Su Man gave him a stern look.
"no."
She decisively rejected the boy's unreasonable request, opened the door of the pumpkin car very resolutely, and reminded at the same time: "Don't forget your hat and cane! They are on the table!"
The peaked wizard hat had a soft brim and was decorated with the Qingqiu Su family's rotating nine-tails logo. When Zheng Qing walked out of the pumpkin cart with a cane, the only thing he was glad about was that he did not obey the request of Councilor Su to wear a wig.
Because as far as the eye could see, most of the wizards in the courtyard were wearing wigs, with their platinum-blonde hair twisting and hanging from the pointed brim, like lumps of instant noodles that had not been fully soaked.
He had no idea what the beauty of this kind of 'instant noodles' was.
After getting off the pumpkin car, Zheng Qing felt a cold wind whizzing behind him. When he turned around, Su Man was about to close the car door.
"Aren't you going with me?" the boy asked in a scared voice.
"Of course not."
The head maid explained very patiently: "Servants are not allowed to enter the main hall. By the way, your dance partner is the lady, not me. So, come on!"
boom!
She closed the door of the pumpkin car very simply.
