Mai was put on the ground, and was stunned for a while. Then, she stared at Ugly Duckling, and imitated it by crawling toward it on all fours.
Ugly Duckling also stared at Mai, and slowly retreated, trying to control the distance between them.
"Ugly Duckling, don't move," Little Guai warned as she patted its head gently.
Ugly Duckling immediately stopped retreating, and didn't dare to move.
Mai crawled very slowly at first, and even fell twice. However, she wasn't pretentious at all. She propped herself up again, and continued to crawl forward. Gradually, she grasped the technique of crawling, and her speed also increased.
Soon, she was in front of Ugly Duckling.
Although Ugly Duckling wasn't a year old yet, it was still a head taller than Mai, who was lying on the ground.
Mai looked up at Ugly Duckling with a cute smile on her little face. She couldn't free her hands from the ground, so she just put her face up and rubbed Ugly Duckling's chubby face gently. She giggled like a little hen.
Ugly Duckling: (ΩДΩ)!!
What's with being a little cute?!
"You're a gentle person." Gina looked at Mai with a smile.
"It's in my nature." Irina also had a smile on her face.
"Yiyayiya." Mai chased after Ugly Duckling and Little Guai as they crawled all over the ground. She was having a lot of fun.
"Wow, little Mai has already learned how to crawl?" Amy rubbed her sleepy eyes as she came down from upstairs. She saw Mai grabbing a table leg and getting ready to climb up. "And she even learned Little Guai's tree-climbing skills."
Mai heard the sound, and turned to look at Amy. She immediately gave up on climbing the table leg, and crawled toward Amy instead. She looked up and called intimately, "Yiya!"
Amy bent down, picked Mai up, and kissed her cheek. "Little Mai, call me Big Sister."
Mai stared at her with her big blue eyes, and called out, "Yiya!"
"It's Big Sister, not Yiya," Amy corrected her.
"Yiya," Mai called out again.
"Alright, whatever you like." Amy touched her head helplessly.
After breakfast, Meg took Amy to school on his bicycle.
"Father, will Mai be living with us from now on?" Amy asked from the back seat.
"Yeah, some bad guys want to catch her, so we have to protect Sister Yayi," Meg said with a smile.
"Is he like the big monster from last time?" Ai Mi's face showed a bit of fear.
"Yes, the bad guy is very strong, so we have to be more careful."
"It's okay, Amy will become even stronger. When the time comes, I'll be able to protect everyone just like Father," Amy said seriously with a straight face.
Meg parked his bicycle at the entrance of Chaos School, and waved at Amy, who was bouncing around, as he said, "Then you have to study hard."
The Crassus' magic lab hadn't been moved to Hope School yet, so even though Amy was now a student of Hope School, she still came to Chaos School for lessons.
"Master!" Ai Mi called out as soon as she arrived outside the magic room.
The door of the magic lab slowly opened, and Crassus stood at the door with a smile. He first checked Amy from head to toe, and after making sure that she wasn't injured and that her magic power had improved a little, his smile became even brighter. "What delicious food did you bring for Master today?"
"I brought rainbow fried rice and congee with pork and century egg." Amy handed him the takeout in her hand.
"Good girl." Crassus took the takeout from Amy, but he wasn't in a hurry to eat. Instead, he closed the door of the magic lab, and asked with a smile, "Amy, did you go to the elven queen's coronation yesterday?"
"Yes, yes, Big Sister Sally became the elven queen," Amy said with a nod.
"Then did you see a scary monster?"
"Yes, it was a huge spider. It was over 100 meters tall, as big as a giant dragon. It was so scary that even the elves couldn't beat it." Amy nodded with a look of lingering fear.
"What happened after that?"
"After that, our hero Alex appeared. He severed the spider's leg with one slash of his sword, then split the spider in half with another slash of his sword. Finally, he crushed its heart with one stomp, and that was the end of the battle." Ai Mi's face lit up with admiration as she recounted the story.
"That's it?" Crassus was stunned.
He had heard about what happened to the elves yesterday. He only knew that the elven queen and Helena died of exhaustion after the battle, and that Alex appeared on the battlefield and killed the monster.
However, according to Amy's description, the monster that broke through the elven powerhouses' defensive line was killed by Alex with only two slashes and one kick.
The elves were not weak, and the elven queen and Helena's strength were not to be underestimated. It was clear that the monster was extremely powerful.
However, this kind of power was different from that of the demons. At least, it was something that Alex could kill. At the same time, it also proved that Alex should be stronger than he was during the battle on the ice plains.
"Master, Master, if you were here, would you be able to defeat that monster?" Amy looked up at him and asked expectantly.
"This … Ahem … Of course, Master would be able to defeat it!" Crassus's expression was slightly unnatural, but he still patted his chest and said, "For a monster like this, Master only needs to use a fireball and a stick to finish it off."
He could lose in anything, but he could not lose face in front of his precious disciple!
"Really?" Amy looked a little doubtful.
"Of course, if there's a chance next time, Master will show you how powerful I am." Crassus patted his chest and said.
"Then I want to learn this too. I want to beat the monster down with a fireball and a stick!" Amy was eager to try.
"Okay, okay, okay. Master will teach you after breakfast." Crassus laughed. He was most afraid that his disciple would not be enthusiastic about learning, but now it seemed that it was right to go out more often.
…
"Sister Xi, why are you looking for me so early in the morning?"
On the rooftop of the Black Cat Opera House in Rodu, Vicky, who was wearing pajamas, looked at Xi and asked curiously while rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"Yesterday, a crosser appeared in Chaos City and killed the elven queen and high priestess. For your safety, the marshal asked me to bring you back to the Underground City," Xi said calmly.
"What! The elven queen and high priestess were killed? "Vicky's expression changed." Who did it? Why? "
The elven queen and high priestess being killed was equivalent to a beheading operation against the elves. If this was an official order from the Underground City, it was tantamount to a declaration of war.
"I don't have the authority to know this, but it shouldn't be an order from the marshal." Xi shook her head slightly. So far, she had not received any information from the Underground City.
