As soon as Mai Ge opened the door, Amy, dressed in a black mage's robe, rushed over. He picked her up, spun her around, and then gently held her in his arms. Looking at the giggling Amy, he smiled and asked, "What's making our Little Amy so happy?"
"I'm so happy to be held by my Daddy everyday." Amy said, looking up at Mai Ge with an expression of complete entitlement.
"You have such a sweet mouth." Mai Ge looked at Amy's face, and his smile grew even brighter. The most precious thing he had in his life was probably Amy.
"I'm so envious of Boss Mai, having such a cute little daughter!"
"Yes! Seeing them, father and daughter, showing off like this everyday makes me want to have a daughter too!"
"Come on, you don't even have a wife. I'm just waiting for my wife to give birth to a daughter."
The customers queuing up at the restaurant entrance watched this scene with kind smiles on their faces. They saw the loving interaction between Boss Mai and the Little Boss everyday, and their faces were filled with envy and jealousy, but their mood did indeed improve unconsciously.
"Little Amy, now your Daddy can grant you one wish regarding food. Besides the dishes in the restaurant, what else would you like to eat? Your Daddy can make it for you." Mai Ge ignored the envious glances, carried Amy into the restaurant, and asked with a smile, looking at the soft little girl in his arms.
"Really? Anything is fine?" Amy's eyes lit up as she looked at Mai Ge and repeated.
"Yes, anything is fine." Mai Ge nodded with a smile. The system promised any dish would do, as long as Amy could name it.
"Then…" Amy thought for a moment, then clenched her little fist and looked at Mai Ge expectantly, exclaiming, "Little Amy wants a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast!"
"Uh…" Mai Ge's expression froze for a moment. He suddenly realized that he might have boasted a bit, and that he hadn't expected the little one to still remember the promise he made to Amy.
"Daddy said the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast is super delicious, can you make it for Amy now?" Amy seemed oblivious to Mai Ge's embarrassed expression and continued to ask expectantly.
"Well… Daddy can't make it yet, because the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast is not just one dish. Daddy hasn't learned to cook so many dishes yet, and we don't have that many ingredients…" Mai Ge explained to Amy with a bit of embarrassment.
"So... Amy still can't have a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast?" Amy's expression was slightly disappointed, but after glancing at Mai Ge's somewhat embarrassed expression, she quickly smiled and shook her head, saying, "It's okay, Daddy, don't be sad. I don't want to eat a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast at all right now. I love anything Daddy makes."
"Good girl." Mai Ge looked at the little girl's heartwarming smile and felt a warmth in his heart. What a sensible little girl. But this won't do. He gently hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Trust your Daddy. In the future, I will definitely cook you a huge Manchu-Han Imperial Feast. It's the kind that you can't finish even if you eat for three days and three nights."
"Yes, I believe Daddy will definitely do it. Daddy has never lied to me." Amy nodded, looked up at Mai Ge and asked, "If we can't finish it, can I invite Jessica, Sister Xi Xi, Big Bear, Master Turtle Shell, and Master Half Beard to eat with us? It would be such a waste if we couldn't finish it."
"Of course, Aisha, Mia, and all of Little Amy's friends are welcome to come and eat too." Mai Ge nodded with a smile; the little one was really hospitable.
"Daddy, you're so good to me." Amy hugged Mai Ge's neck and kissed his cheek, her face full of happy smiles.
"So, is there anything you particularly want to eat, Amy? Roast beef, roast lamb chops... anything like that." Mai Ge gently ruffled Amy's hair and asked, looking at her.
"I...I want to eat fish, the kind that swims in the water. Daphne said the fish meat is super delicious, so tender, but it has a lot of bones. She even showed me the fish bones last time, they were crystal clear and so pretty, just like needles." Amy thought for a moment and said expectantly.
Mai Ge looked at Amy, but felt a pang in his heart. Amy, who had only ever eaten expensive sweet crispy biscuits, had never eaten fish at the age of four. This kind of thing, which could only be considered a common dish, seemed like an unattainable treasure in her eyes.
"Okay, then your Daddy will cook fish for you for the next few days, the best grilled fish in the world." Mai Ge looked at Amy and said seriously. He had already decided on the dish to choose—Spicy Grilled Fish.
"Grilled fish? Is it like putting fish on a fire to grill? Like grilled beef or lamb chops?" Amy's little face was full of curiosity.
"Hmm, similar, but with some differences. Amy will find out when the time comes." Mai Ge kept it a secret. Sichuan grilled fish is all about grilling first and then stewing, which is quite different from grilled steak.
"Mm, anything Daddy makes is sure to be super delicious. That way, Little Amy can also eat super delicious fish. I'm going to bring the fish bones to Daphne to see." Amy nodded obediently, her eyes full of anticipation.
"What new magic did Amy learn from Teacher Yulian today?" Mai Ge asked, looking at Amy with a hint of curiosity.
"Meow meow~" The Ugly Duckling had somehow appeared at Mai Ge's feet, tilting its head back and looking at Amy excitedly.
"Daddy, put me down, and Little Amy will show you!" Amy moved slightly, getting down from Mai Ge's arms, and stretched out her left hand, her little face becoming exceptionally sincere.
Mai Ge and the Ugly Duckling both took a half step back. He had no doubt about Amy's magical talent, but he was still a little worried about her ability to control the magic as she had only learned that morning. If she accidentally made a mistake and he was accidentally injured by his daughter, there would be no one to complain to.
Sally and Yabemia also looked at Amy with great curiosity. With Amy's extraordinary talent, what kind of magic could she learn from Yulian in just one morning, having studied magic under two legendary archmages?
"In my name, I summon the Flame of Extreme Cold." Amy said in a soft, sweet voice. With a hiss, a small blue white flame suddenly appeared in her left palm. Although it looked like a flame, but the surrounding air temperature dropped instantly as soon as the flame appeared, and even their breath could be seen as white mist.
"Flame of Extreme Cold?" Mai Ge looked at the blue white flame in Amy's hand with some surprise, which exuded a cold aura and resembled a flame of frost.
"That's right, and Daddy, don't underestimate its small size, it's actually super powerful. Let me show you…" Amy's gaze looked around before finally settling on the Ugly Duckling.
The Ugly Duckling seemed to sense danger. It arched its back, its soft feathers stood on end, and it turned to run away.
"Don't run away, Ugly Duckling." Amy said earnestly, then threw the little ice flame in her hand towards the Ugly Duckling.
