“Where did Father go?” Amy mumbled with a pout as she stood in front of the tent with Ugly Duckling in her arms, looking into the distance.

“Boss said he was going to look for ingredients. He should be back soon. Don’t worry, Little Amy.” Yabemiya came out of the tent, and patted Amy’s head with a smile.

“Then, what will we do about our lunch?” Amy asked worriedly again.

“I can roast beef kebabs for all of us,” Firis said softly before embarrassedly adding, “I haven’t learned how to roast mutton kebabs yet.”

“Then I will go catch a cow.” Elizabeth walked out, transformed into a frost dragon, and disappeared on the horizon. She might not be able to catch a wild buffalo in the Blue Grassland, and she might need to go look for it at the places that were further in the south.

However, Elizabeth returned only after a short while. She landed in front of the tent, and looked at everyone, who was slightly befuddled. “They’re back.”

“They?”

“Boss and a little maiden.” Elizabeth nodded.

“Why is there a little maiden?” Amy was a little perplexed. “Father left alone this morning.”

Just as everyone was befuddled, Mag galloped over from afar on a tall and big unicorn, and there was a tiny figure on the back of the mount.

Mag discovered a white unicorn after they entered the Blue Grassland. He landed Ah Zi, and captured the unicorn. He rode it back to the campsite with Annie.

“Stop.” Mag patted the unicorn gently, and the unicorn immediately stopped in front of the tent. Mag got off the unicorn.

“Father!” Amy tossed Ugly Duckling in her arms aside, and pounced towards Mag happily.

“Little Amy!” Mag picked up Amy with a smile, and lifted her above his head. He looked at her adorable looks, and then hugged her tightly in his arms.

If it weren’t that he couldn’t bear to leave Amy, he most probably couldn’t have withstood the torture of his soul being torn apart during the lightning tribulation.

When he saw her and hugged her in his arms again, he finally realized everything was worth it.

“Father, who is that pretty little big sister?” Amy asked softly after a while.

Everyone was also looking at Annie, who was still sitting on the unicorn’s back.

That was a beautiful little maiden. She seemed to be only 12 or 13 years old, but her holy and elegant presence made people ignore her age easily. She looked like a fairy that had just descended from the gods’ realm.

Her blonde hair was pulled back and plaited into an exquisite braid. Her light green eyes were looking at all of them curiously. She even smiled gently and expectantly as she looked at Amy, who was lifted up by Mag.

“She’s Annie. I met her when I went out to look for ingredients in the morning, but she was still a golden egg then. I chased away a wild boar that wanted to eat her, and just as I was about to leave, she burst out from the egg.” Mag looked at Annie with a smile, and said, “Perhaps I’m the very first person she saw when she hatched, but she thinks that I’m her father. It’s too dangerous to leave her there alone, so I brought her back. I’m prepared to let her live with us, and Amy will have another big sister.”

“Did she just hatch?”

Everyone looked at Annie with surprise. They couldn’t connect her to a newborn baby, let alone imagine that she had hatched from a golden egg.

Amy’s eyes lit up, and she expectantly asked, “Th-then, is she going to call you father like me?”

“Yes.” Mag nodded smilingly. He looked at Annie, and lovingly said, “However, she still cannot talk now. There’s some problem with her vocal cords. She can’t make any sounds.”

There was an additional hint of pity in the ladies’s gaze when they heard that. What a beautiful little maiden, yet she couldn’t make a sound.

“It’s alright. She just needs to learn it slowly.” Amy wasn’t worried at all. She extended her little hand to Annie from Mag’s arms, and smilingly said, “Big Sister Annie, I am Amy. Let me help you get off the horse.”

Annie looked at Amy’s little hand, and hesitated for a brief moment before reaching out to hold it gently. Then, she leaped off the back of the unicorn agilely.

Amy got down from Mag’s arms, but she was still holding Annie’s hand. Looking at her fair and slender fingers, Amy praised, “Your hand is so pretty.”

Annie lowered her head to look at Amy. Annie blinked as if she couldn’t understand Amy, but her eyes were full of gentleness.

“Ugly Duckling, both of you came from an egg, but why are you so ugly?” Amy said to Ugly Duckling disdainfully.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Meow~” Ugly Duckling cried out aggrievedly before it walked two rounds around Annie’s legs. It twitched its nose, and then closed its eyes to rub its head against her calf.

Mmm? Ugly Duckling is actually proactively friendly to her? Mag was slightly surprised. Other than being submissive to Amy, it was disdainful to almost everyone. Mag didn’t expect it to be so friendly to Annie.

It was the same with Ah Zi earlier too. Given its arrogant nature, other than Irina and Amy’s bloodline advantage, it was only friendly to him usually. When did it ever put its head out and ask to be petted before?

Seems like Annie has a natural talent that allows her to get close to magic beasts and animals. This is a good thing. Mag pondered. If she could make good use of this talent, she could easily gain some self-protection ability. Perhaps she could even become an outstanding beastmaster.

On the Norland Continent, beastmasters were a high-paying but scarce occupation.

“Annie, these are big sisters who work in the restaurant. They are also our close friends.” Mag made the introduction for Annie.

Yabemiya went forward with a smile, and said, “Nice to meet you, Annie. You can call me Big Sister Miya.”

Annie nodded slightly, and gave a gentle smile in reply.

“How do you do, I’m Firis,” Firis said, likewise smiling.

Although Annie couldn’t speak, and perhaps couldn’t understand what they were saying, everyone still went forward to get to know Annie.

“You all probably haven’t eaten yet. I’ve found some ingredients, so I will make lunch for all of us.” Mag removed a few wild rabbits that were still kicking from the unicorn’s back. There was also one sheep that Amy caught yesterday, and they were just nice for lunch.

Amy raised up her two little hands, and happily said, “Great. We were just agonizing over what to eat.”

“Also, we can return to Chaos City after lunch,” Mag continued.

“Is Chaos City’s crisis resolved?” Elizabeth asked Mag.

Everyone was also looking at Mag concernedly. They had left Chaos City due to that, so they were very concerned about Chaos City’s situation.

Mag nodded, and smilingly said, “Yes. I have told a friend about our whereabouts, and asked him to send me news as soon as possible. I received his letter on my way back earlier. He said that the crisis was already over, and we could return now..”
