Where did Father go? "
Amy muttered as she stood in front of the tent with Ugly Duckling in her arms and looked into the distance.
"Boss said he went to look for ingredients. He should be back soon. Don't worry, Amy." Yabemiya walked out of the tent and stroked Amy's head with a smile.
"Then what should we do about lunch?" Ai Mi asked worriedly.
"I can make beef kebabs for everyone," Phyllis said softly. Then, she added embarrassedly, "I haven't learned how to make mutton kebabs yet."
"Then I'll go and catch a cow." Elizabeth walked out and transformed into a Frost Dragon before disappearing into the sky. She might not be able to find a bison in the Blue Grassland. Perhaps she had to go further south to look for one.
However, Elizabeth returned after a short while. She landed in front of the tent and looked at the puzzled crowd. "They're back."
"They?"
"Boss and a little girl." Elizabeth nodded.
"Why is there a little girl?" Amy was puzzled. "Father left alone in the morning."
Just as everyone was puzzled, Meg rode over from afar on a tall unicorn. There was indeed a petite figure on the horse's back.
After entering the Blue Grassland, Meg found a white unicorn. He got Ah Zi to land and capture the unicorn. Then, he rode it back to the camp with Anne.
"Stop." Meg patted the unicorn lightly, and it immediately stopped in front of the tent. He also got off the horse.
"Father!" Amy threw Ugly Duckling in her arms and pounced on Meg happily.
"Amy!" Meg smiled as he picked Amy up and raised her above his head. He looked at her cute appearance and hugged her tightly in his arms.
If not for the fact that he couldn't let go of Amy during the lightning tribulation, he probably wouldn't have been able to bear the pain of his soul being torn apart.
However, when he saw her again and hugged her in his arms, he understood that it was all worth it.
After a while, Amy asked in a low voice, "Father, who is that beautiful and cute big sister?"
Everyone looked at Anne, who was still sitting on the unicorn.
It was a beautiful little girl who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old. However, her pure and noble temperament made it easy for people to overlook her age. She was like a fairy who had just descended from the God Realm.
Her golden hair was pulled back into an intricate braid, and she was also looking at everyone with curiosity in her light green eyes. She looked at Amy, who was in Mag's arms, and a gentle smile appeared on her face, as well as a hint of anticipation.
"She is Anne. I met her this morning when I was looking for ingredients. But at that time, she was just a golden egg. I chased away a wild boar that wanted to eat her. When I was about to leave, she broke out of her shell." Mag looked at Annie with a smile, and said, "Perhaps it's because I'm the first person she saw, so she thinks of me as her father. It's too dangerous to leave her alone, so I brought her back. I'm going to let her live with us, and Amy will have a big sister in the future."
"She was just born?"
Everyone looked at Anne in surprise. They couldn't associate her with a newborn baby, nor could they imagine that she had hatched from a golden egg.
"Then … Does she have to call you Father like Amy?" Amy's eyes lit up with anticipation.
"Yes." Meg nodded with a smile. He looked at Anne with a sympathetic expression, and said, "But she can't speak yet. There's a problem with her vocal cords, so she can't make a sound."
Everyone looked at Anne with a hint of pity in their eyes. She was such a beautiful little girl, yet she couldn't make a sound.
"That's alright. She can slowly learn in the future." However, Amy wasn't worried in the slightest. She extended her little hand toward Anne from Meg's arms, and said with a smile, "Big Sister Anne, I'm Amy. Let me help you get off the horse."
Anne looked at Amy's little hand, and hesitated momentarily before reaching out and gently grasping it. She then jumped off the horse's back.
"Your hand is so beautiful." Amy got down from Meg's arms, but she was still holding Anne's hand. She looked at her fair and slender fingers as she praised.
Anne looked down at Amy and blinked. She didn't seem to understand what she was saying, but her eyes were filled with tenderness.
"Ugly Duckling, we both came from eggs, so why are you so ugly?" Amy looked at Ugly Duckling with a disdainful expression.
"Meow ~" Ugly Duckling meowed aggrievedly. It walked around Anne's feet twice, sniffed, and then squinted its eyes as it rubbed its head against her calf intimately.
"Hmm? Ugly Duckling is actually taking the initiative to be friendly? " Meg was a little surprised. This little fellow usually looked down on everyone except for Amy. He didn't expect it to be so affectionate toward Anne the first time it met her.
Ah Zi was also like that previously. Given its arrogant personality, other than the suppression of Irina and Amy's bloodline, it would usually only be affectionate toward him. It would never take the initiative to get its head rubbed.
Seems like Anne has a talent for being close to magical beasts and animals. This is a good thing. Meg was deep in thought. If this talent could be used ingeniously, she could easily gain a certain level of self-protection, and even become an excellent beast tamer.
On the Norland Continent, beast tamers were a scarce and high-paying profession.
"Anne, these are the ladies who work at the restaurant. They are also our close friends," Meg introduced to Anne.
"Hello, Anne. You can call me Big Sister Mia," Yabemiya said with a smile as she stepped forward.
Anne nodded slightly in response with a gentle smile.
"Hello, Anne. I am Phyllis," Phyllis said with a smile.
Although Anne couldn't speak, and might not be able to understand them, everyone still went forward to greet Anne.
"You guys haven't eaten yet, right? I found some ingredients. Let's make lunch for everyone." Meg untied a few wild rabbits that were still kicking their feet from the unicorn's back. There was still a goat that Amy caught yesterday that hadn't been eaten. It was just right for lunch.
"That's great. We were just worrying about what to eat for lunch," Amy said happily as she raised her little hands.
"Also, we can return to Chaos City after lunch," Meg added.
"Has the crisis in Chaos City been resolved?" Elizabeth asked Meg.
Everyone was also looking at Meg with concern. They had left Chaos City precisely because of this, and were still worried about the situation in Chaos City.
"Yes. Before we came, I told a friend where we were going, and asked him to inform me immediately if anything happened. I received a letter from him on the way back, saying that the crisis has been resolved, and we can go back." Meg nodded with a smile.
