Chapter 604 - Especially That Shifty Bearded Old Man!
“This is my 101st try already; surely I’m going to succeed this time.” In a vast and spacious cave, a woman with short pink hair was standing in front of an ancient stone statue spell formation. She was staring nervously at the wand in her hand, and slowly stepped forward before raising her left hand.
“Argh! What kind of idiot decided it would be a good idea to make blood the catalyst for activating this spell formation? There’s no creativity at all, and it’s going to hurt so much!” The young woman looked at her delicate fingertip with a pout on her lips. She looked at the white jade stone pillar at the center of the spell formation, then down at her finger again, and hesitated for a long while before finally stepping forward. She gritted her teeth with a determined look, and said, “The woman of the moon definitely won’t concede defeat!”
She pulled out a think needle and stabbed it into her trembling fingertip.
“Argh!!!”
An extremely harrowing howl of agony reverberated throughout the cave as a drop of golden blood slowly flowed from her fingertip.
“Let me see just where this spell formation leads to.” The young woman’s features were quite pale and her lips were trembling as she made her way toward the stone pillar.
Mamy Restaurant.
“Father, are you really going to open a new branch? They type that only sells ice cream?” Amy was looking at Mag with excitement and joy on her face as he prepared beef skewers in the kitchen.
“That’s right, and Miya is going to be the manager of the ice cream shop. You’ll be able to see it a day or two; it’s a very beautiful ice cream shop.” Mag nodded with a smile.
“I’m really afraid that I won’t do a good job…” Yabemiya murmured with a hint of concern on her face.
“Wow, Big Sister Miya is so awesome! You’re going to be the manager!” Amy’s eyes lit up as she approached Yabemiya, and whispered in her ear, “Big Sister Miya, you’re the manager; will I be able to come to your shop to eat ice cream in secret? You can’t tell Father.”
“Meow-” Ugly Duckling also made its way over to Yabemiya and looked up at her with an expectant gaze.Read the next chapter on our vipnovel.com
“Well…” A conflicted expression appeared on Yabemiya’s face.
“I can hear you, and don’t even think about it. You two are not allowed to sneak off to Miya’s shop to eat ice cream,” Mag warned.
“Alright, then. Looks like I’ll just have to eat it in the restaurant.” Amy stuck out her little tongue and sat down with a resigned expression. Ugly Duckling was also quite dejected as it rubbed its head against Amy’s foot. Amy picked it up and laid it on her lap, where it nestled against her body.
“Alright, that all the kebabs we need; let’s have some food.” Mag placed the three different flavors of kebabs onto three separate plates before carrying them out of the kitchen.
Right at that moment, a blinding burst of golden light suddenly erupted in the center of the restaurant.
“What’s going on?”
A puzzled look appeared on Mag’s face. He could see a series of complex patterns on the ground, which appeared to be a teleportation spell formation.
Sally had already positioned herself in front of Amy as she looked on with a wary expression. She could sense powerful magic waves emanating from the golden light up ahead. If she wasn’t mistaken, someone was using spatial magic here.
Yabemiya stood off to the side, at a loss for what to do as she looked at the golden light.
“What is that?” Amy poked her head out from behind Sally and looked at the golden light with a curious expression.
“Meow-” Ugly Duckling also got up to appraise the golden light with a nervous expression.
The dazzling golden light receded, and a young woman in a pink dress appeared in the restaurant. She looked around at her surroundings before raising her chin in a haughty manner as she said, “You have summoned the regal Princess Babla to this place; you should be welcoming me on your knees!”
The restaurant descended into silence as everyone appraised the young woman who had just appeared.
She appeared to be around 15 or 16 years old, and was less than 1.4 meters tall. Her short pink hair made her fair skin appear even more translucent, and her slightly round face was quite adorable. However, her features were a little sickly pale, and there was a light pink crescent moon insignia on her glabella. Her expression was also quite arrogant, and no one knew how to respond to her.
“Oi! Are you all deaf? Get on your knees right now! How dare you look at me like that?” Babla pointed at Mag with an enraged look on her face, and yelled, “Especially that shifty bearded old man; the princess is not someone for you to lay your eyes on!”
“O-old man?” Mag’s eyes widened upon hearing that. He had been called all types of things in his past life, but never had anyone label him as an old man.
How could she pin such a derogatory label to a man as handsome and dashing as him? This little girl was incorrigible!
“Where did you come from, grandma? Aren’t you tired of putting on a little princess facade at your age? I know everyone is a child at heart and all that, but keep that to yourself. Don’t come to my restaurant then pretend that we summoned you here! What kind of idiot’s summoned beast would look like you?” Mag responded with a fake smile. This face had been modeled after his face from his past life, and he was very pleased with it, so he refused to let anyone insult it.
“You… You… You…” Babla pointed at Mag with a trembling finger, and her face immediately became flushed with rage. She felt as if she were about to explode! No one had ever dared to speak to her like that before. This man had called grandma, and then compared her to a summoned beast!
The nobles of the moon nation never had beards; this was an extremely important rule, so she knew that this man was a lowly slave. For a slave like him to insult her was extremely humiliating.
“I’m going to show you that there’s a price to be paid for insulting me!” Babla glowered at Mag as she raised her right hand, upon which the glass on the counter beside him began to wobble.
“Look out!” Sally wore a grave expression as she drew her wand.
“I don’t know what price I have to pay for insulting you, but if you mess with me, you’ll be relegated to my blacklist and prohibited from entering my restaurant for the rest of your life,” Mag replied calmly.
“You!!” A rush of blood flowed into Babla’s head in her fit of rage, and her face paled even further as she fell to the ground, unconscious.
“As expected, taunts can be quite powerful in battle,” Mag remarked.
