"Fat kitten…" Pabor nodded, raising his hands high to hug the Ugly Duckling.
Everyone was somewhat surprised that Amy hadn't been sarcastic or mocking. Instead, she actually handed the Ugly Duckling to Pabor, her careful instructions making her seem like a caring older sister.
This completely overturned Amy's image in everyone's mind. Looking at Pabor, who carefully took the little orange cat and had a happy smile on his face again, and then looking at Amy, who was calm, the little girl was actually quite kind sometimes.
"As expected, my daughter is still very well-behaved. She has a kind heart, and that's enough." Mai Ge, who was initially a little worried about Amy's interactions with other children, smiled upon seeing this scene. He had been concerned that Amy might not have any friends after getting used to being sarcastic, but it seems that this is not a problem at all. The little girl knows how to do things in moderation.
"It seems Palmer is still bothered by being beaten by Amy in math, which is quite a competitive little guy." Luna saw Palmer as soon as he entered the restaurant. She glanced at Pabor holding the Ugly Duckling, then looked at Amy, and her smile deepened. "That's right, this is the cute and kind little one. She used to share even a single sweet crispy biscuit with the other kids."
"It seems like everything is fine again. The Little Boss is still very kind." Jergi, who was about to go forward to pick up Pabor and comfort him, stopped and said softly with a smile.
"How...how is this possible!" Palmer's eyes widened in disbelief. From the moment he entered, Amy had relentlessly teased him, leaving him speechless. Amy, who disliked that Pabor wasn't a little sister, had actually handed the kitten to Pabor. Seeing Pabor carefully holding the kitten and smiling happily, Palmer's face turned even redder. The words he had just spoken so confidently were immediately proven wrong.
"Meow meow~" The Ugly Duckling, held by Pabor, meowed two times in dissatisfaction and shook its head, trying to stand up.
"Ugly Duckling, don't move around." Amy warned, looking at Pabor who was being swayed from side to side.
Meeting Amy's serious gaze, the Ugly Duckling immediately cowered, obediently lying still, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"It really is like that, the same goes for the left hand, they've all faded! The color has become lighter!" At this moment, the woman who had exclaimed earlier exclaimed in surprise again, her sleeves rolled up and her cheeks flushed.
"Hmm?" Everyone's eyes turned to her. The woman looked to be around thirty years old, with an average appearance and figure. She was wearing a purple green dress, a string of emeralds around her neck, and her long brown hair was tied up. Judging from her attire, she should be a wealthy lady.
But now she looked at her hands with a face full of surprise. Her rolled-up sleeves revealed her forearms, and on her fair arms were two shocking burn scars. The skin was wrinkled together, which looked a little scary, but she did not try to avoid everyone's gaze at this moment.
"Sister Luo Xi Ya, has it really faded?" The woman sitting opposite her asked with a look of surprise.
"Yes, I've been watching it everyday, and I'm aware of every single change. Just now, while I was eating, I felt a little cool on my arm, but I didn't pay much attention at first. However, when I secretly took a look, I noticed that the scar had faded a bit, and the area around it had even shrunk inwards, returning to its normal flesh color." Luo Xi Ya nodded vigorously, unable to hide the surprise on her face.
Luo Xi Ya was born into a large family in the Chaos City. When she was young, she was accidentally scalded by a copper stove used for boiling water. In addition to her arm, her chest was also scalded.
Although the marriage was an arranged marriage, but she loved her husband very much, and he was also caring and considerate towards her. However, because of the scar left from her childhood, she was always worried that her husband would one day get tired of her ugly body and fall into the arms of other women. So, she had been looking for ways to remove the scar for many years.
Neither magic nor medicine could make the scars appear lighter, they couldn't completely remove or heal them. After all the back and forth, she was starting to feel disheartened.
Today, a friend invited her out for dinner, saying she wanted to take her to try some delicious food. She hadn't expected much, but the tofu pudding was surprisingly delicious. Even more unexpectedly, after eating it, her long-standing scars began to fade and shrink, which both surprised and delighted her.
Sally, Luna, and Luo Xi Ya were sitting at the same table. They all gave her a surprised look. Tofu pudding was already so delicious. If it also had scar-reducing and beautifying effects, it would be a dream come true for any beauty-conscious girl!
"It really works!" Luna raised her left hand and looked at it. Her eyes widened in surprise. Two days ago, she accidentally cut her left index finger while chopping vegetables. The wound was small and scabbed over quickly. But now the scab had fallen off on its own, and the wound had completely disappeared. Her skin was smooth and delicate, making it hard to believe that there was a healing wound on it just before she came in.
"Could it be that tofu pudding can even remove scars?"
"My skin seems to have improved too! Even my old face looks smoother."
"That's amazing! I reckon most of the customers at Boss Mai's restaurant will be women from now on!"
"It's true! The scar I got when I was three years old has disappeared by half!"
As everyone watched this scene, they began to discuss it, and many even found scars on their own bodies, further confirming the effect. The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became lively.
"If it really works, I'll bring my wife here tomorrow. She's been talking about that scar on her hand for years." Jergi's eyes lit up.
"Boss Mai is a genius! He makes Yang Zhou Fried Rice to relieve fatigue, Rou Jia Mo to soothe muscles and tendons, and Tofu Pudding to remove scars and beautify the skin—and the best part is, every single dish is delicious! With this kind of skill, he could totally turn the restaurant into Clinic Mai Mi. From now on, customers won't need to order, he can just ask about their condition and prescribe medicine." Harrison nodded with a smile, his words tinged with amusement but mostly with admiration. He paused, then exclaimed, "He's practically comparable to the King of Medicine!"
"What? Tofu pudding to remove scars?" In the corner, a middle-aged warrior with a short beard froze, his face instantly turning pale. He abruptly stood up, ripped open his shirt, revealing a muscular chest.
Countless scars, both old and new, are interwoven on it, including one that cuts diagonally across the heart, recording countless thrilling battles and brushes with death. Like badges, they are the greatest pride of a hero.
"These scars are my badges of invincibility! If I lose them, how am I supposed to brag to those rookie heroes?" Yue Er said anxiously, looking down at the scars on his chest.
