Mag stood behind Harrison and laughingly said, "You got fat alright! What happened to slimming down and getting married?"
Harrison, who was munching on a biscuit, was stunned before turning around together with Georgina. He looked at Mag with surprise. "Boss Mag, you're finally back! I miss you so much!"
Mag turned to the side to avoid Harrison trying to hug his body. It was only a few days that he had been gone and he had obviously gotten even fatter.
Harrison came back to himself after trying to hug Mag. He put down his biscuit embarrassedly, but he soon said matter-of-factly, "You can't really blame me for that. Georgina is pregnant and her appetite is rather hearty. I can't always let her eat alone, right?"
"Pregnant?" Mag stared at Georgina's slightly protruding tummy.
!!
Georgina blushed and hid behind Harrison shyly as she covered her face and said, "I'm only two months pregnant. Don't be mistaken. This is just fat."
"Well at the very least he looks like he is about to give birth." Mag reached out to pat Harrison's rotund tummy. Boing, boing. It made Mag want to ask, "Boss, can you guarantee that your melon will be sweet?"
Georgina laughed happily. Her face had gotten a little round and one could no longer see the gloom of anorexia on her face. She finally had the innocent charm that belonged to a young maiden.
Harrison was also smiling indulgently.
Mag was always the one being lovey-dovey, so he really wasn't used to, nor could he stand, others being lovey-dovey. He took out his key and prepared to go in.
"Boss Mag, will you be open for business today?" Harrison came over and asked expectantly.
"I'm not open for business today. Come back tomorrow morning. I'll make sure that you guys get to have the piping hot soup dumplings." Mag shook his head with a smile.
Although Harrison was a little disappointed, he still quickly nodded and said, "Sure, we'll return tomorrow then."
Harrison helped Georgina into the carriage carefully as she waved at Mag. "Goodbye, Boss Mag."
"Goodbye." Mag nodded smilingly.
"Hmm? I seem to have heard Father's voice!"
At the second floor open window of the magic potion shop next door, a little girl with upward-pointing pigtails poked her head out of it. Then, she tried to move half of her body out of the window and turned her head to look at the restaurant. Amy's eyes lit up instantly. She waved her hands and yelled with surprise, "Father! Father!"
Then, she proceeded to fall out the window because she lost her balance.
"Ahh… Oh."
Before she could scream, Amy had already fallen into a pair of warm and sturdy arms.
"You can't lean out of windows. You will fall." Mag hugged Amy and pinched the little one's chubby face.
"It's fine. I can fly." Amy flapped her hands like a bee.
How can my daughter be so cute?! Mag already couldn't control his fatherly smile. The corners of his lips almost reached his ears.
"Is your class over?" Mag flicked a glance at the magic potion shop. She should be taking Urien's magic class today.
"I still have 15 minutes to go." Amy looked at her little genius electronic watch and shook her head in despair before pouting her lips and caressing her little tummy aggrievedly. "But Little Amy is so hungry. I want to eat the grilled meat that Father makes. Those grilled meats with a lot of chilies."
I'll make it for her right now!
Mag tried his best to control his emotions as he asked, "Didn't Big Sister Xixi make lunch for you?"
"She did. She made the super green and healthy traditional Dryads' food. Boiled leaves." Amy put up three fingers and seriously said, "I only ate it three times and I really can't eat any more of it…"
Mag lost control of his smile. He knew about Xixi's culinary skills. It was still fine when she cooked normal food, but once it had something to do with the Dryads' traditional food, it would become a dark cuisine.
See how aggrieved the child was?! She pouted her lips so hard that you could hang a bag on them.
"Then… We shall make an exception today. Father will play truant with you. Let's go home to make some nice food." Mag swiped Amy's little nose and carried her back towards the restaurant.
Black Coal poked its head out of the cage and yelled, "Amy played truant! Amy played truant!"
"Stupid crow. I might just burn your feathers off again!" Amy turned around to glare at Black Coal as a flame danced on her fingers.
"No! I have just grown my feathers out! I need them for the winter!" Black Coal huddled in a corner and shivered, bowing down to Amy's evil forces.
"Coward," Green Pea called out with disdain.
As though it was awakened by Green Pea's call, a round orange figure dashed out of the magic potion shop and circled around Mag's legs urgently before rubbing its round face against Mag's calves fawningly.
Amy looked down at Ugly Duckling and seriously ordered it, "Ugly Duckling, you will eat dinner at Big Sister Xixi's house today. The Dryads' traditional banquet suits you very much. Come home after you have had your dinner."

"Are you serious?" Ugly Duckling laid on the ground with widened eyes as it stared at Amy with a disheartened expression.
Xixi walked to the door with a vial of potion in her hands and said to Mag with surprise, "Boss Mag, you're back?"
"Yes. I just got home. I missed the children. Can Little Amy get off school 15 minutes earlier today?" Mag asked smilingly.
Little Amy looked at Xixi with a little nervousness and anticipation.
"It's fine. After all, we have learned all the topics that we needed to cover today. Amy simply needs to go home and practise on her own." Xixi nodded with a smile.
"Big Sister Xixi, I love you!" Amy shouted at Xixi and her face instantly glowed.
"Rest well. It looks like another little one is going to make its entrance into this world soon." Mag flicked a glance at Xixi's very obvious pregnant stomach. The Dryads' pregnancy period was six months. The little one should be arriving soon.
Amy didn't forget to turn around to say to Xixi, "Big Sister Xixi. Bring Ugly Duckling with you. Only let it come home after it has finished its diet dinner."
"Sure." Xixi laughingly agreed as she picked the dumbfounded Ugly Duckling up and brought it back into the shop. She closed the door and locked it under Ugly Duckling's desperate gaze.
"Hmph. How dare it steal my snacks daily?" Amy let out a huff through her nostrils. She felt gratified after avenging herself.
Mag pushed open the door and entered the restaurant. Even though the restaurant was closed for six days, it was still perfectly clean. It was just a little quiet.
Mag put Amy down and looked around before asking, "Where's Annie?"
"Big Sister Annie went to school. She's the Hope School's arts teacher now and she should be coming home soon." Amy ran upstairs on her short legs and fetched a pair of slippers for Mag. "There you go, Father. Let's change into comfortable slippers."
Mag felt a warm feeling in his heart. She was indeed his considerate daughter.
Mag asked as he walked to the kitchen, "Does Little Amy prefer to have grilled mutton or grilled beef? Or perhaps, grilled pork belly?"
"I want all of them!" Amy jogged over to catch up with Mag. "I want to eat all of them."
Mag looked at the little one, who was full of expectations, and nodded. "Alright. I'll grill all of them for you."
The fridge was filled with all kinds of ingredients supplied by the system. After putting on the apron, he processed and marinated the beef, mutton and pork belly first.
After finishing the prep work. Mag went upstairs to bathe and change into simple and clean clothes before coming down again.
The meat was marinated and the stove was set up.
It wasn't even four o'clock yet and only the father-and-daughter duo were in the restaurant, so Mag placed the little stove on the dining table and ate as he grilled.
The pork belly was thinly sliced and it sizzled as soon as it was placed on the grill. Soon, the pork belly's fat became transparent and Mag swiftly brushed a thin layer of sauce over it before scattering some cumin powder and Sichuan Pepper powder over it too, and then plating it.
Amy had already prepared the lettuce. She wrapped the pork belly up and removed the bamboo skewer. The three pieces of pork belly were stacked together. She popped them into her mouth and chewed.
The sweet and refreshing lettuce wrapped around the grilled pork belly was crispy and tender. She enjoyed the great feast of chewing the meat, yet it wasn't too oily. It was a perfect match.
Of course, Mag didn't like to wrap it with lettuce. He preferred to pop the greasy pork belly straight into his mouth. He loved the sensation of the fat squirting in his mouth. It was fatty, yet not greasy. This was his basic skill of grilling pork belly.
It was natural that children had a lighter taste.

After eating a few skewers of pork belly, the grilled beef cubes were ready too. He brushed three layers of chili sauce over it and dipped it in the chili powder. It only basically reached Amy's request of eating spicy grilled meat.
Amy held the bamboo skewer like a squirrel as she blew gently at it. Then, she opened her mouth wide to bite off a beef cube. Her cheeks instantly puffed out as she chewed happily.
"Father, you eat too." Amy passed her skewer to Mag.
"Father isn't hungry. Little Amy can eat them slowly. There are a lot of them and they are all yours." Mag looked at Amy indulgently. Speaking of it, many things had happened recently and he was exhausted trying to handle them. His care and concern for Amy had been lacking greatly.
Now that he had become a god, he should take more time to keep his children company after he settled the remaining matters.
Just like that, one person grilled and the other person ate. The father and daughter were enjoying themselves tremendously.
Then, the restaurant's door was pushed open.
Irina, who was holding a takeaway roast goose with a motherly smile, stood at the door and stared at the father-and-daughter duo, who were eating the grilled meat, and the stack of bamboo skewers next to them. Her delicate eyebrows shot up like two swords and she said with an angry voice, "You guys… are eating grilled meat behind my back?!"
"Oh, Wifey. Listen to my quibble." Mag immediately put down his skewers.
Before he could quibble, Irina had already closed the door and tossed the roast goose away. She sat next to the table and took the grilled beef kebabs that Amy passed to her and instructed Mag. "Add another 50 beef kebabs and 50 mutton kebabs each. There's pork belly too? Then, add another 100 pork belly kebabs too."
"Huh…"
Mag tried to speak out, but he eventually went back into the kitchen to prepare the kebabs.
Mag asked Irina, who was enjoying her meal, as he grilled the kebabs, "Where's Yayi?"
"In the ice cream shop. Firis and the ladies are caring for her." Irina ate five beef kebabs and mutton kebabs in a row and gulped down the iced beer that Mag passed to her before appraising Mag properly.
Suddenly, a hint of disbelief appeared in her eyes and her voice quivered slightly. "You… have become a god?!"
"Yes. I encountered some opportunities over there." Mag nodded with a smile, but he didn't elaborate in front of Amy.
Tears gathered in Irina's eyes, but she soon became normal again. She took the kebab in Mag's hand and fed him with it. "You have some as well."
Amy chimed in as she chewed on the mutton cubes. "Mm-hmm. You'll only have the strength to grill meat after you are full."
This meal of grilled meat took over an hour. The mother-and-daughter duo were full.
Mag got Amy to go to the ice cream shop to tell the ladies that he was back and to come to the restaurant for dinner.
Amy wiped her mouth and was about to go out when Annie came in with an easel on her back. She was stunned when she saw Mag clearing the dining table and an ecstatic glow appeared in her eyes instantly.
"Teacher Annie is back. I have saved some kebabs for you. Quickly go wash your hands and eat," Mag said to Annie smilingly.
Annie stepped in and patted Amy's head before leaning the easel against the wall. Then, she greeted Irina with sign language before going into the kitchen to wash her hands.
After coming out, she wasn't in a hurry to eat. Instead, she asked Mag in sign language, "When did you come back?"
Mag said as he placed the meat on the grill, "I just came back a short while ago. Amy said you had classes today and she was in a hurry to eat the grilled meat, so we didn't wait for you. However, the other big sisters will come to have dinner with us shortly."
Annie didn't ask about anything else. She simply watched Mag grill the meat with a smile. She propped her chin on her hand and smiled brightly and purely.
Talking about being teachers, Mag remembered that he had been absent from his classes for a week. He had to go for classes next Monday, otherwise the children would become unfamiliar with their skills and then he would have to spend more time with them helping them relearn their skills again.
Soon afterwards, the ladies came together.
The restaurant's door opened and Kiddo was the first to rush in. Her footsteps were shaky and she shouted, "Father… Father…"
Seeing Mag, who was standing in front of the dining table, Kiddo immediately dashed over and hugged his leg. She climbed up like a koala bear.
Mag lifted her up like a kitten with exasperation and carried her in his arms.
The little toddler was soft and smelled great.
Muack.
Kiddo leaned into Mag's face and gave him a big kiss on his cheek. She held Mag's face with both her hands and studied it carefully. She nodded her head after verification. "It's really Father."
"How can I be a fake?" Mag felt like laughing. This little one was rather dramatic.
Yabemiya followed her in and agitatedly said, "Boss, you're finally back. I missed you so much!"
"Boss." Gina looked at Mag with joy as well, but she controlled her urge to give Mag an octopus hug.
Babla's gaze was immediately attracted by the grilled meat on the table the moment she came in and she aggrievedly said, "Woah! You guys are actually eating grilled meat behind my back. This is simply too much!"
Annie picked up a grilled beef kebab and passed it to Babla with a smile.
Babla immediately smiled. She took the kebab and sat down next to Annie. "Annie baby is the best. Big Sister loves you."
Firis was the last to enter with Yayi in her arms. The little one was scanning around with her bright eyes and her gaze landed on Mag. She immediately made "Yi ya yi ya" sounds and reached her little arms out for a hug.
"We're not really very familiar with each other, so why are you so enthusiastic?" Mag took Little Yayi from Firis reluctantly. The little one sniffed him like a dog before closing her eyes and falling asleep instantly.
"…" Mag.
Am I a hypnotic bed?
"Boss looks very nice to sleep on," Yabemiya said softly.
Elizabeth's lips moved, but she held back her smile. However, when she looked at Mag, she felt that Mag seemed to be rather different, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different.
Mag put Yayi to sleep in a stroller as he asked the rest, "What are we eating tonight? Grilled meat? Hot pot? Or stir-fried dishes?"
Yabemiya stated her request. "Actually, we have had hot pots and grilled meats for the past few days. Rena and Firis have already mastered the techniques. I would like to have red braised pork."
"I would like to have the beggar's chicken," Gina said.
"I want to eat grilled fish."
"Then, let's have stir-fried dishes. I'll go get ready. You guys take a break first." Mag nodded before saying, "Yes. I got you guys some little gifts. Go and open them yourselves."
He took out a bunch of presents from one of the magic rings and gave them to the ladies.
The ladies opened the presents happily, but Firis followed Mag into the kitchen. "Let me assist you."
Mag didn't reject her. Firis was an excellent helper cook. With her help, things could be done faster.
The sounds of the ladies' exclamations and doubts came from the outside. They were all gifts Mag brought back for them from Underground City. He didn't deliberately choose high tech stuff. He chose things that were more practical.
"It's so cooling and comfortable." Yabemiya wore an intricate bangle on her wrist. It was a thermostat bracelet. It could make sure that the body temperature was maintained at a very comfortable level.
Miya couldn't stand the heat or cold at the same time. With this, she didn't have to worry about sweating when she was busy at work now.
The others' gifts were all special too. Mag had chosen all of them carefully.
For example, Amy got a super tidbits gift package, which included 100 Underground City's most popular tidbits and they were all in extra large size.
Annie got a painting board, but it wasn't an ordinary drawing board. It would turn into a bangle when it contracted and transform into a big drawing board after it expanded. The finished drawings would be saved in the drawing board. It was, without any doubts, a great tool for outdoor drawing.
After dinner, the ladies cleared the dining table and left.
Mag continued the story of "Journey to the West" from where he stopped. The three children only fell asleep after he said the story three times.
After closing the door gently, Mag returned to his bedroom. The lights in the room were dim and seductive. A beautiful figure laid on the bed on her side. Her long and slender legs could vaguely be seen through the thin gauze.
Mag's lips turned upwards. He removed his bathrobe and climbed into bed, gathering that beauty into his arms.
That night, the bed shook and nobody knew when it stopped.
Outside of the window, the sky was getting brighter slowly.
Mag instinctively reached for the bedside table but he felt nothing. He couldn't help but feel funny. Even after transmigrating for one year, he still yearned for a cigarette after doing the deed.
The person next to him was still panting. Her bright and clear eyes were teary. She was still satisfied, feeling slightly aggrieved.
"What's the situation over there?" Irina's voice was still a little lazy and breathless.
"I got them to sign a contract and promise that they won't invade the Norland Continent." Mag showed her the Twin Tower contract.
Irina sat up and read through the contract carefully. She was rather surprised. "They were actually willing to sign it? Didn't you say that they have
