"This..." Daniel's expression froze instantly. This was exactly what he feared. He had been hoping to gloss over the matter, but Ya Ya's attention was still fixed on the beautiful big kite.
"I want that kite too! I want a big kite too!"
"Big kites are so much fun! Small kites aren't fun at all! I want one too!"
"Daddy, when we came you said our kite could fly the highest, but it's not flying high at all now. Waaah, you liar."
Not only Ya Ya, but as soon as the competition between the two kites ended, the other children also started making a fuss. The large purple kite standing out in the sky and the other kites flying three to five meters high were completely different things. The obvious difference made them choose to put pressure on their parents by crying and making a fuss.
"Don't cry, don't cry, Daddy will make you a bigger and prettier one when we get back."
"Okay, okay, I'll go ask that uncle where he bought his kite, and we'll go buy one too."
The parents comforted their children while giving Mai Ge resentful looks. This guy was just there to cause trouble! Now look what's happened—seeing other people's kites flying so high, none of the kids could sit still.
"Daddy, why are they crying?" Amy asked softly, looking at the crying children with some confusion.
"They probably wanted to play with our kite because their kite wasn't flying high enough." Mai Ge shrugged, holding Amy in one arm, and tugged at the kite string. The Purple Phoenix spun and flipped in the sky, its colorful tail swirling and fluttering, a magnificent movement.
"Wow!!! That's amazing!!!"
The children exclaimed in surprise, then cried even louder.
"Don't cry, I know my Daddy's kite is really beautiful and fly really high, so if you want to play with it…" Amy looked at the children's serious expressions and comforted them, "You can watch me play."
The children, who had stopped crying and were listening attentively to Amy, suddenly burst into even louder sobs.
"I want to play too! I want to play with my own kite!"
"Everyone else's kids have such pretty kites, why don't I have one? Waaah…"
"…" Mai Ge raised an eyebrow. Amy was truly a killer of children, even more lethal than him, but that statement seemed to make sense.
"Daddy, why are they crying even harder? Didn't I already allow them to watch me play?" Amy asked Mai Ge, even more puzzled. Back when she didn't have a kite to play with, she felt incredibly happy just watching others play.
"Because people are possessive, they all want better things. So when they see a better kite, they want to possess it, but the kite doesn't belong to them, so they can only cry." Mai Ge said with a smile. Possessiveness is innate. Mai Ge didn't mean it negatively, but it's just the truth. These children's crying might have been caused by the father and daughter, but ultimately it stemmed from them, or rather, their parents.
Like the little elf girl next to them, although somewhat envious, but she stood obediently beside her father, neither crying nor making a fuss, a sweet and adorable girl.
"I see. Then let them play with it for a while after Little Amy finishes playing, that way they won't cry, right?" Amy nodded thoughtfully, looking at Mai Ge and asking.
"If Amy wants, that's fine too." Mai Ge nodded with a smile. He was happy to protect Amy's kindness.
"Can I fly the kite?" Amy looked up at the kite flying dozens of meters in the sky, asking expectantly.
"Of course you can. You hold the kite string with this hand and pull gently. Daddy will carry you and run, so the kite can fly even higher." Mai Ge handed the string to Amy, ignoring the other children who had come specifically to fly kites. He held the bottom of the kite string with his right hand. With such a big kite, the strength of the kite string was not to be underestimated, and it would be easy for Amy to get hurt if she held it alone.
"When I say 'let go,' you release your hand." Mai Ge instructed with a smile, running a few steps against the wind while holding Amy. He directed Amy to release the line, the reel spun rapidly, and the Purple Phoenix soared higher and higher in the sky, changing various postures.
"This is so much fun! Flying kites is so much fun!" Amy's silvery laughter echoed in the square. The Ugly Duckling followed behind the two, hopping and skipping, occasionally looking up at the kite flying in the sky, waving its little claws a couple of times, whether it wanted to fly up or try to catch it.
The children watched with envy, their heads tilted back. They slowly stopped crying and watched intently, their minds filled with wonder how high the kite could fly.
The parents breathed a sigh of relief. These children used to cry endlessly, especially when they wanted something. Unless they could find something more interesting to distract them, they couldn't be calmed down at all. They didn't expect them to stop on their own now.
Daniel looked at Mai Ge, who was holding Amy, with a hint of resentment. He had come prepared this time, but he still didn't expect to be overpowered by Mai Ge. Although Ya Ya had stopped crying, but he still felt a little uncomfortable looking at the little girl's envious face. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Mai Ge.
Mai Ge held Amy and played with her for a while. In his previous life, he didn't fly kites often, but he had flown professional competition kites with his friends. The kite provided by the system was already better than a professional kite. If he wanted to fly it, 100 meters or 200 meters would be no problem at all.
However, launching it so high would be too troublesome to bring it down later, so Mai Ge only launched it to a height of about 30 meters before stopping. This made it easier to maneuver and more interesting to show off.
"Alright, take a break and have some water." Mai Ge put Amy down, took a small thermos from his pouch, poured a cup of water and handed it to Amy, then took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
"Mmm." Amy took the water cup with both hands, her face full of a happy smile. She had so much fun flying the kite today.
"Brother, can we talk in private for a moment?" Daniel stepped forward and looked at Mai Ge with a serious expression.
"Hmm?" Mai Ge looked at Daniel, a little puzzled. "What is it?"
Daniel was probably a swordsman, but Mai Ge didn't sense any hostility from him, so he didn't appear overly nervous.
"Brother, do we have a grudge? Why do you always bring little girl to punish me? Look how much my little girl is crying! Do you know how hard it was for me to spend over ten days making this huge kite?" Daniel looked at Mai Ge, his serious expression immediately crumbling, and said with a resentful look, "After all that, I just want to ask, are you selling this kite?"
