Beta Town, Pedestrian Street.
Number 99.
In front of the San You Bookstore.
Not far away, D&K at No. 97 on the pedestrian street is still open, with the night wind faintly carrying the enthusiastic voice of the Ears Brother inviting customers; across the street, the Wandering Bar is about to enter its busiest time of the week—today is both Christmas and a Friday—the big frog checking hand stamps at the bar's entrance is so tired that its tongue is lolling out.
Zheng Qing, holding Poseidon, stood with two witches in front of the bookstore.
The orange light inside the shop shone warmly on the warlock. Through the window, Zheng Qing could see the Yellow Flowered Cat sitting on a thick tome of the Wizard's Codex with Mr. Lying on a rocking chair, holding a copy of Li Baichuan's "The Wizard of Oz." Beside him, a small red clay stove brewed steaming tea, the pearlescent mist from the kettle's spout forming strange shapes that bared their fangs at the uninvited guests outside.
