The noodles were soft and smooth, yet chewy at the same time. Every bite was filled with a wheaty fragrance, which made Syndra raise her eyebrows. She found it special and it was completely different from the noodles she had in the past.

  After having the beef and noodles, she took a sip of the soup.

  The soup was bone broth and was as white as milk. One look and Syndra could tell that it was simmered for a very long time. One sip alone was filled with the rich fragrance of meat, making it impossible to leave any soup behind after finishing the noodles.

  After a moment of slurping, the small bowl of shaved noodles was gone.

  This time, Syndra really felt full.

  Although she had eaten quite a lot during this meal, she did not feel groggy, as she had not eaten for three days. Instead, she felt energized and warm. It was a very comfortable feeling.

  She leaned back comfortably and smiled as she watched Vanessa eat seriously. For a lady, the way she ate was not elegant enough but to Syndra, it was very cute.

  All that mattered was that Vanessa was happy. Elegance and such did not seem to matter at all.

  Vanessa took a bite from the fried egg. The soft egg was submerged in the thick soup so it had a little beef fragrance.

  “Royal Mother, do you want some more?” Vanessa asked Syndra after swallowing the egg.

  “I’m already full. I can’t even eat the soybean milk that hasn’t been served yet.” Syndra shook her head with a smile. She was not a big eater to begin with and was already shocked at how much she could eat this morning.

  Vanessa smiled and said with a nod, “Mm, in that case, when we’re done eating later, I’ll bring you out to play. There are many fun places in Chaos City that you definitely haven’t been to before when you came with Royal Father previously.”


  “Alright.” Syndra nodded.

  After finishing the bowl of shaved noodles and three soup dumplings, Vanessa felt that her exhaustion was completely wiped out. She was re-energized.

  “Boss Mag, I’ll foot the bill.” Vanessa stood up and skipped to the kitchen door as she watched Mag make tofu pudding.

  “I’ll treat this meal,” Mag said with a smile as he turned his head to look at her.

  “No way. You made such a sumptuous breakfast for us early in the morning, which is adding more to your burden. How could we eat for free?” Vanessa swallowed her saliva when she saw the large pot of tofu pudding Mag was making. She pulled out her money pouch and placed a handful of dragon coins on the counter.

  “Thank you!” Vanessa bowed at Mag and blinked mischievously at him. “I shall not disturb you further, I’ll bring my mother out to play.”


  “Thank you, Sir,” Syndra stood up and thanked Mag as well.

  After seeing Chaos City today, Syndra had decided to live once again. However, the breakfast at Mamy Restaurant made her come to a decision: This time, she wanted to live differently!

  “You’re too courteous.” Mag nodded.

  To him, it was just making breakfast for his friends. It was no big deal.

  After watching the two leave, Mag placed half of the pile of dragon coins on the counter into his pocket and before he could put the other half into the money box, Irina’s voice came from the stairway.

  “Wow, fancy a big business knocking on the door before we even open.” Irina, who was dressed in a thin nightgown, walked down with a smile. Her voluptuous figure could be seen a little through the thin dress. When she reached Mag, she put her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, “Is it enough? If it isn’t, you can take a little more.”


  A faint fragrance wafted into his nose. The breath by his ears was like a gentle breeze and her voice was smooth and alluring but the words she said made Mag freeze.

  “It should be enough to buy the groceries for today.” Mag nodded naturally. He pulled out a money pouch that was labeled ‘For Groceries’ and said, “Do you want to count it?”


  Irina glanced at the money pouch with interest and drew circles on his chest with her finger as she said with a smile, “You’ve really put in a lot of effort for this family.”


  “It is only right that I do that in order to provide a good life for all of you,” Mag said righteously.

  Irina laughed and let go of Mag. She turned to sit on the chair nearby and said with a smile, “Why did Vanessa bring Syndra over?”


  Mag looked at her charming smile. His heart skipped a beat. He was the only one who could admire such a beautiful view.

  After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Irina was the high and mighty Elf princess and also a terrifying 10th-tier magic caster.

  However, in front of him, she was a woman with no burdens or responsibilities. She could flirt with him and joke with him. Occasionally, she would scold him. She was more down-to-earth but also cute and interesting.

  “Treatment,” Mag said.

  “Finding you for treatment?” Irina was puzzled. “If she knew Josh died in our hands, she would probably throw up blood.”


  “To be exact, Josh died in the hands of the devil. It has nothing to do with us. The one who died was merely a soulless shell.” Mag shook his head and sighed. “It was too easy on him.”


  “I doubt it. For a proud person whose goal was the entire world, he would most probably be in despair and unwilling to end up having his soul swallowed,” Irina said with a smile.

  She could not feel any sense of sympathy for the fellow who almost killed Mag and Amy, and drove their family into a corner.

  “This was a favor for Vanessa. That lass was sensible and she gave a lot,” Mag told Irina with a smile. “What would you like to have for breakfast?”


  “You.” Irina looked intensely at his mouth.

  Mag lifted his wrist and glanced at his watch. He shook his head and said, “Not enough time.”


  Sometimes, being able to hold on for too long is not a good thing.

  “In that case, a bowl of shaved noodles.” Irina leaned lazily against the chain and told Mag, who was walking into the kitchen, “Say, what identity should I use to stay in Mamy Restaurant?

  “Those young ladies look at you as though they can not wait to eat you alive. If you just beckon them, they would probably wash themselves cleanly and send themselves right to your doorstep.

  “This is not a good thing. I think it has to change.”


  “I think it’s pretty good. Being lovable is something to be happy about.” Mag said righteously, “I am Boss Mag, the man who would not waver easily. Not just anyone can seduce me.”


  “Is that so?” Irina smiled.

  “I think the orc-eared lady that you dressed up as previously is not bad.”


  “I don’t like that look anymore. It’s too obedient, not how a lady boss should be at all.” Irina shook her head.

  “Why don’t we put on a show of Amy saving her mother?” Mag suggested.

  Irina seemed rather interested in that idea. She sat up straight and said, “What show?”


  “It means you would play a monkey… I mean an elf being trapped under Buddha Mountain who was forced to separate from us. After that, Amy learned magic and went to the mountain alone to save her mother. This would make a great story.”


  “What about you?”


  “Me? I am a freeloader. I just have to be me.”


  “Mm. Sounds pretty good. But where is Buddha Mountain?”


  “Shall we change it to Huashan Mountain?”


  “Where is Huashan Mountain?”


  “What mountains are there in the Wind Forest?”


  “The Wind Forest is a plain with very few hills that cannot be considered mountains.”


  “…”
