"Sure." Yabemiya nodded, but she was still a little hesitant as she asked, "It's just ten bowls of rice … Are you sure you want that much? You still have a lot of dishes to serve. "
Lu Lu thought for a moment before nodding, and said, "Then we'll have four bowls of rice and a portion of braised chicken and rice. We'll add more if it's not enough."
"Sure, please wait a moment." Yabemiya nodded as she turned and walked toward the kitchen.
"It's really delicious, little Amy. I'm so envious of you for having such a great cook as your father. This is the most delicious food I've ever had!" Xixi's expression became even more radiant after eating a bowl of rice and half a portion of braised chicken and rice, and she looked at Amy with an excited expression. She had tried all kinds of delicious food, but she was still captivated by this braised chicken and rice. Compared to this, all the so-called delicious food she had eaten in the past was inferior to this dish. There was no comparison at all.
"That's right, Father's cooking is the best in the world." Amy's little face was filled with pride. She was even happier when someone praised Meg than when they praised her.
Xixi still wanted to say something, but her expression suddenly froze, and she looked down at her lower abdomen in disbelief. She had felt a warm sensation in her lower abdomen when she was eating, and she had thought that it was just a normal reaction after eating the turkey. However, this warm sensation was becoming clearer and clearer, and it seemed to be healing the injuries she had sustained all those years ago.
Xixi formed a heart shape with her palms and gently placed them over her lower abdomen. She murmured a few gentle yet cryptic incantations, and a faint green light lit up from the heart shape, covering her lower abdomen. A withered little sapling about ten centimeters tall slowly grew out of the heart shape.
The branches and leaves were all withered, as if they were dead. However, the smallest leaf at the very top of the sapling now had a hint of tender green. Even though it was only half a leaf, it was still very conspicuous on such a withered little sapling.
"Is … Is the World Tree … alive?" Xixi looked at the hint of tender green on the little sapling, and her expression was filled with shock and joy. Tears even welled up in the corners of her eyes. She looked at the little sapling between her hands as if she was looking at a child that she hadn't seen in a long time.
"It's … It's really alive!" Lulu abruptly rose to his feet. His hands trembled with excitement as he looked at the patch of green on the withered little tree between Xixi's hands. He walked up to Xixi and squatted down to look at the patch of green on the little tree. Both of them were overjoyed.
"Lu Lu …" Xixi looked at Lu Lu, and she couldn't stop crying, and tears flowed down her face.
"That's a good thing. With the World Tree, we can revive the Druids. You can also conceive again. As long as we're still around, we can have many babies and recreate this race." Lulu reached out and hugged Xixi. He patted her back gently and allowed her to bury her face in his chest. His clothes were wet with her tears.
"Cry. You'll be fine after you cry." Lu Lu whispered into Xixi's ear. 100 years ago, they had experienced the extinction of their race. They carried the seed of the World Tree with them, and relied on each other to survive. They had been hunted down on the Norland Continent for close to 100 years, and had been in dire straits many times.
30 years ago, Xixi was already pregnant, and they found a place to rest beside a lake in the mountains. They wanted to peacefully wait for the birth of a new life, but those detestable bastards suddenly appeared.
Xixi, who was pregnant, was no longer agile. Although they broke out of the encirclement in the end, Xixi, who was shot in the stomach by a poisonous arrow, couldn't save the baby, and was severely injured.
The World Tree, which had just grown into a little sapling, injected all its source of life into Xixi's body, and saved Xixi from the brink of death.
However, the World Tree, which was the hope of the Fu Tribe, withered. They had tried countless ways to revive it in the past few decades. They even risked a high price to buy a portion of the Spring of Life, but it still didn't show any signs of recovery.
And because of this injury, Xixi also lost her fertility.
A girl who loved children so much, but lost the possibility of being a mother. How cruel was that?
Although Lu Lu had been taking care of her carefully for the past few decades, he still felt very sorry for her every time he saw her looking at other people's children in a daze and playing with them happily like a mother.
However, the World Tree was showing signs of revival now. Once the World Tree was revived, it could provide Xixi with an endless supply of energy and recovery ability. The loss of fertility and the side effects that would flare up every once in a while would no longer be a problem.
Hope and light fell on the two of them again. They seemed to have found their destination after running around aimlessly for 100 years in order to survive.
He could understand Xixi's feelings the most because the same feelings were surging in his heart. However, he was a man, and should be her support at a time like this.
Amy stood at the side with Ugly Duckling in her arms. She looked at the two of them who suddenly hugged each other and cried with a puzzled look on her face. However, she didn't rush to ask any questions after seeing the atmosphere. She just stood quietly at the side with Ugly Duckling in her arms.
Meanwhile, the customers at the side were also dumbfounded when they saw the two of them crying tears of joy. They didn't know why the girl suddenly cried. Wasn't she very happy when she was eating just now?
"Could it be that she cried because of the delicious food? Looks like this girl has a very high place in her heart when it comes to food, "a customer at the side guessed softly.
A middle-aged man at the side wiped the corners of his eyes and sighed with emotion. "Yes, I didn't think so at first, but seeing this girl cry, I think that almost half of my life has passed, and I've only just tasted Mr. Mak's food. It's such a sad thing. I can't help but cry."
"Father, don't be sad. You're already so old; it's embarrassing." His son, who was around 17 or 18 years old, silently picked up his bowl and turned his face away with a disdainful expression.
The middle-aged man slammed his chopsticks onto the table with an enraged expression, and said, "You little brat, how dare you call me an embarrassment? Are you too arrogant, or am I too weak to hold a whip?"
"I was wrong. Eat your food, and we can talk outside. I don't want to be blacklisted by the restaurant just because you whipped me." The son immediately gave in.
"That's more like it." The middle-aged man also took a glance at Amy, who wasn't paying any attention to them, before picking up his chopsticks again and nodding before continuing to eat his braised chicken.
Xixi didn't bawl her eyes out. She was only sobbing slightly, and she was being held gently in Lu Lu's arms, so it didn't affect the customers at all. They all looked at each other before continuing to eat.
