"Fu Ke Si, Jinx of the Giant Golden Dragon Clan, Hai Wei De of the Giant Fire Dragon Clan, and the Demon—I never expected this meeting between the two sides to take place at the Restaurant Mai Mi." Outside the restaurant, a figure quietly hid behind a large tree. Elizabeth looked at the group of people coming out of the restaurant with some surprise.
"Fu Ke Si's expression... could it be that he's got his eye on this restaurant? That half-dragon girl named Yabemia is in this restaurant. Could it be... that Fu Ke Si has his eye on her?" Elizabeth frowned, thinking. She didn't know how she ended up here, but seeing this restaurant still made her think of Yabemia.
"It shouldn't be her. There was no reaction after our blood clashed, and neither did the Golden Dragon Source. But if Fu Ke Si is targeting her, perhaps I can keep an eye on him and see what Fu Ke Si is up to." Elizabeth shook her head, watching Fu Ke Si barely draw a formation and leave. She hesitated for a moment, then her eyes lit up. She thought to herself, "Fu Ke Si seems very weak now. Perhaps this is the only chance to infiltrate his residence. He might have more information about my father."
A large white snowflake appeared beneath Elizabeth's feet, followed by a flash of white light, and she vanished from the spot.
...
After seeing all the guests off, Sally and Yabemia cleaned and tidied the restaurant and left. Mai Ge closed the restaurant door, then carefully carried the two sleeping little ones upstairs.
"Phew...what a fulfilling day." Mai Ge looked at the adorable little one in bed, gently stroking her little nose. A wave of exhaustion washed over him as he grabbed his bathrobe and headed for the bathroom.
Soaking comfortably in the large bathtub, Mai Ge closed his eyes and thought to himself, "System, the site is secured, the mission should be successful, right?"
"The lease agreement has not yet been successfully signed, and the host does not yet have the right to use the vacant land in front of the restaurant, so the mission is not yet complete." the system's stern voice replied.
"Okay, then let's wait until tomorrow." Mai Ge said nonchalantly. He wasn't in a hurry anyway, and he could wait a day.
"By the way, System, what level do you think my current strength should be?" Mai Ge asked suddenly after soaking for a while.
"The host's current physical condition is rather complex. Physical fitness is only at the level of an ordinary person, strength is still some distance from that of a level one knight, swordsmanship is similar to that of a level four knight, speed is at the level of a level two knight, overall level is at the peak of a level two knight, and short range burst strength can reach the level of a level four knight." The system was silent for a while, and then gave a detailed evaluation.
Mai Ge pondered for a moment and asked, "Can it be understood like this: I'm guaranteed to win against a level two opponent, I can put up a fight against a level three opponent, but I'm not guaranteed to win, and against a level four opponent, unless I'm within a sword's range, I have absolutely no chance of winning?"
"The host's comprehension is quite good. If you don't want to be easily killed by others, it's best to keep a low profile when encountering opponents of level three or above." the system replied.
"I'm just a chef, that's low key enough. And the more famous I am, the less people will associate me with Mai Ge • Alex, or think I have great strength." Mai Ge leaned back comfortably, a smile on his face. "To do something to the extreme, one needs to be completely dedicated. He honed his swordsmanship to perfection back then, and no one would believe that those hands could now pick up a kitchen knife and spoon and make all kinds of mouthwatering dishes. That's my true camouflage."
...
"Luna, it's so late. Why don't you sleep at my house tonight? I'll serve you in bed." In the City Lord's Mansion, Vivian held Luna's hand and said with a smile.
"No, I have class tomorrow." Luna shook her head and looked at Vivian with annoyance. "Besides, you've only just started to feel better, so you need to rest properly. Once you're fully recovered, you can eat whatever you want and do whatever you want. Don't run around everywhere anymore."
"Tsk tsk, you used to hug me and call me 'Sweetie,' but now you're pushing me away. Tell me, do you have another man on the side?" Vivian wouldn't let go, squinting at Luna for a while, her face showing she knew everything. "I'm telling you, you haven't really fallen for Boss Mai, have you? Your eyes lit up whenever he was mentioned! Although he's quite handsome, a bit thin, but he's tall, and he cooks delicious food. He's gentle, kind-hearted, eloquent, and has high IQ and EQ. His restaurant is so successful, he must be rich. If that's the case, he's practically the kind of man a girl couldn't resist, right?"
"You're talking nonsense. How could I possibly like Mr. Mai Ge? I only admire his character and his excellent cooking skills. I have no other intentions." Luna said with a laugh, playfully slapping Vivian's hand.
"Really not?" Vivian stared at Luna for a while, still somewhat skeptical, and seeing no other unusual expression, she smiled and said, "If not, then so be it. It's a real shame. If you became the proprietress, wouldn't I be able to come and eat and drink for free everyday, and even get a second serving of tofu pudding!"
"You wish! I'd like a second serving of tofu pudding." Luna tapped Vivian's forehead and let go of her hand. "Alright, I'm going back now. It'll be dark and the roads will be difficult to walk on later."
"It's alright, I've already spoken to the coachman and he'll take you home. My Miss Luna is so beautiful, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving you alone on the street." Vivian said with a smile, taking Luna's hand and leading her outside.
"Luna, you are the eldest daughter of the Fei Er De family, you can't just fall for anyone. Only I am worthy of you." After seeing Luna into the carriage, Vivian lifted the curtain from the side, stood on tiptoe, and looked at Luna with a smile.
"Keep joking. Once you're better, I bet Uncle City Lord will start picking a husband for you." Luna said with a smirk.
"If that's the case, then I'd rather never get better! When I feel really bad, I can just go to Boss Mai's restaurant and eat a grilled fish to keep me going." Vivian clutched her chest with a pained expression.
"Nonsense." Luna glared at Vivian, then reached out and touched Vivian's hair with a touch of tenderness, smiling sweetly as she said, "Alright, I don't have class on Tuesday afternoon, so let's go eat Spicy Grilled Fish together that night."
"You said it yourself, I'll come pick you up!" Vivian immediately perked up, slapping the carriage shaft. "Gary, take Miss Luna back to her dormitory building. Don't stop at the school gate. Watch her go upstairs before you come back."
"Yes, Miss." The middle-aged coachman replied, slowly driving the carriage away.
"Luna is good in every way, except she's too naive. She's really a worrying girl…" Vivian sighed, turning to go inside.
