"Mia, Sa...Aisha, what are you doing here?" Mai Ge, who was about to get out of the bicycle, looked at Mia and Sally, who were walking out from the side of the restaurant, and asked with some surprise
The system issued the task too urgently in the morning, so he didn't have time to notify them. Mai Ge thought that they would also take a day off after seeing his leave notice, but he didn't expect them to be waiting at the restaurant entrance.
Yabemia changed into the blue maid outfit, her smile still full of energy.
Sally, who was slightly behind, changed into a porcelain white cheongsam with blue trim, which made Mai Ge's eyes light up. He glanced at her from head to toe with admiration. The custom-made cheongsam, which fit her figure perfectly, showed off Sally's elegant and aloof temperament to the fullest.
The slit design of the skirt not only facilitated movement but also added a touch of sexiness. Her long, fair legs were no less stunning than the porcelain white skirt. Sally's presence in the skirt surpassed that of any model Mai Ge had ever seen.
His eye for fashion remained remarkably sharp, those fashion shows he watched out of boredom back then were definitely worth it, even though he was young and bored at the time and usually had the idea of flirting with the models.
"Wow, beautiful elf sister, you look so gorgeous today, your dress is so pretty!" Amy peeked at Sally, her mouth agape, her eyes sparkling. But she quickly looked puzzled, glancing at Yabemia, then at Sally, and asked, "But why are you here with Sister Mia?"
"Aisha is a new employee at the restaurant. Little Amy, you can call her Sister Aisha from now on." Mai Ge said with a smile.
"Hello, I'm Aisha." Sally said with a smile to Amy. Surprisingly, she didn't feel any aversion to Mai Ge's gaze, because she could tell from Mai Ge's eyes that he was admiring the clothes more. That feeling of being amazed was probably more for himself.
"Sister Aisha? But I remember your name is..." Amy thought carefully, then nodded firmly after a while and said, "Yes, you are Sister Aisha. Welcome! From now on, we're family."
"Thank you." Sally nodded slightly. She quite liked Amy, the half-elf little girl. She was quirky but not annoying, and not too dull or boring either.
"Boss, did you go hunting?" Yabemia stepped forward to help take the Flaming Chicken from Mai Ge's hand, then looked at the Copper-skinned Wild Boar tusk in the basket and asked in surprise. She had been working in the kitchen and was quite familiar with these two types of meat that often appeared on the tables of ordinary people in Chaos City, but she also knew what level one and level three magical beasts represented.
Sally was equally surprised. Although she was a mage, but she was also an excellent hunter with superb archery skills. She knew better than Yabemia how terrifying the level three magical beast, the Copper-skinned Wild Boar, was. How did Mai Ge, who didn't seem to have great strength, manage to hunt it down?
"Yes, we went out to get ingredients. Come on in, the restaurant is closed today." Mai Ge nodded with a smile, got out of the bicycle and carried Amy out first. He glanced at the Ugly Duckling in the basket, who was holding boar tusk and in a dazed state. He walked past the pile of knives, took out his key, opened the door, and went in first, carrying the bicycle in one hand.
Once everyone had entered, Mai Ge closed the door, lowered the blinds, and turned on the lights. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, pull out a chair, and sit down. As soon as he relaxed, a strong sense of fatigue quickly washed over him.
His legs were a little numb after walking for half a day. The big movements on the hillside earlier seemed to have strained his muscles. His left hand, which had been carrying dozens of jin of Flaming Chicken, felt like it was about to break. He didn't know when the wound on his right hand had started bleeding again, staining the gauze red. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain.
"Boss, is your hand injured?" Yabemia asked anxiously and with concern, looking at Mai Ge's hand, which was stained red with gauze.
"Daddy, are you alright? It's all that stupid pig's fault, it hurt your hand. I should have given it another fireball." Amy looked at Mai Ge anxiously, gently holding his hand and blowing on it softly, asking, "Daddy, will this make it hurt less?"
"Yes, Amy's blowing on it makes the pain go away. It's just a small wound, it'll heal quickly." Mai Ge nodded with a smile. The little one is such a sweetheart.
"Perhaps… I can help treat you, if it's just a small wound." Sally said softly.
"Hmm?" Mai Ge looked at Sally with some surprise.
"Sister Aisha, can you really heal Daddy? Please help him!" Amy's eyes lit up as she looked at Sally with anticipation.
"The boss also has to cook, so it would be very inconvenient if he had a cut on his hand." Yabemia said, looking at Sally with the same expectation.
"Besides water magic, I also know some life magic." Sally nodded seriously.
"Thank you for your help." Mai Ge unwrapped the sterile gauze from his hand. The wound on his hand had been rubbed raw, and a piece of skin had come off, revealing the flesh inside was tangled up. The situation seemed to be more serious than he had imagined.
He believed Sally's words. Life magic was a unique type of magic among elves, and it was different from ordinary healing magic. It was said that only those who had bathed in the Fountain of Life could practice it, and the healing effect was excellent.
Sally took a chopstick from the chopstick holder on the table, pinched one end with her fingers, and a point of green light shone from between her fingers, instantly spreading across the entire chopstick. The pale yellow bamboo chopstick seemed to be reborn, turning into a tender green color at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a small branch grew from the top, with a tender green bamboo leaf at the end.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Amy exclaimed, her eyes wide with wonder.
"Amazing." Yabemia looked at Sally with surprise and admiration.
Mai Ge's eyes lit up. Such magical power was unbelievable if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. It was as if the bamboo chopstick had been given new life, and bamboo nodes had even appeared on the chopstick.
"In my name, in the name of the mysteries of life..." Sally murmured softly, and with a gentle flick of the tender green bamboo chopsticks, a ray of green light flowed continuously from the chopsticks into the wound on Mai Ge's right hand. The bloody wound was first cleansed, and under the embrace of the green light, the flesh and blood regenerated extremely quickly.
Mai Ge felt the pain vanish instantly, and a cool, itchy sensation came from the wound. He watched in amazement as flesh and blood regenerated, the wound healed, and new skin began to grow.
At the same time, the life of that bamboo chopstick seemed to be extracted. The tender green leaves quickly turned yellow and withered. A yellow bamboo leaf withered and slowly drifted to the ground. The green light flashed and disappeared. The small bamboo also turned into a yellow withered bamboo, as if it had experienced a lifetime in a short period of time.
"It's really completely healed! Sister Aisha is so amazing, Amy wants to learn how to do this!" Amy clapped her hands as she looked at Mai Ge's healed hand, and looked at Sally with great anticipation.
