Chapter 432 Love At First Sight
“Phew…”
After finis.h.i.+ng the entirety of his grilled fish, Fox lay sprawled out on the table with his entire body drenched in sweat. All of his energy had been sapped away, and he was unable to even hold his chopsticks any longer, as if he had lost all of his hopes and dreams.
How… How could this flavor be so overpowering? I simply couldn"t stop myself! Fox raised his head with difficulty, and he turned to look at the smiling Mag with narrowed eyes. Could it be? Did he spike my fish with something to take revenge on me?
In any case, Fox felt as if he had lost the ability to move. He felt like he had more energy left even after his most grueling battles.
Looks like the two-times insanely spicy grilled fish is too much to handle even for a dragon. Mag wore a cheerful smile on his face at the sight of the sobbing mess that Fox had been reduced
to.
He hadn"t forced Fox to eat the fish. He was the one who had devoured the fish in its entirety, so the blame could only be pinned on himself.
Havid slapped his chopsticks onto the table before turning to Mag with an animated expression. “Wow! That was amazing! Get me another large insanely spicy grilled fis.h.!.+ If only there was some liquor to accompany the fish. Boss, do you sell alcohol here?”
“My apologies, the restaurant doesn"t supply alcoholic beverages at the moment.” Mag shook his head in an apologetic manner. He was actually also a fan of coupling spicy grilled fish with beer, but the system hadn"t given him an alcohol-brewing recipe yet.
“That"s a pity.” Havid was a little disappointed. He looked at the menu beside him, upon which his eyes lit up, and he asked, “Wait, I saw something called ice cream on that menu. Is that something that"s made from ice? Can you get me one of those?”
“Ice cream isn"t made from ice, but it"s icy cold. There are four flavors to choose from; which one would you like?” Mag was quite amused at the sight of the flames raging on Havid"s body. He was wondering what it would look like for a burning man like him to eat an ice cream.
“Any flavor is fine. I just need something cold to soothe my throat before I dig into another spicy grilled fish.” Havid waved a nonchalant hand.
“Alright, please wait a moment.” Mag nodded before entering the kitchen.
“This is the blueberry. Please enjoy.” Yabemiya soon made her way over to Havid with an ice cream cone.
“So this is ice cream? It"s a little small; I can eat this in one bite. It does appear to be icy cold, though.” Havid accepted the ice cream cone and began to size it up.
Scorching temperature erupted from his body, and the two b.a.l.l.s of ice cream immediately melted.
That"s a little disappointing. Havid"s brows furrowed upon seeing that. He opened his mouth, and prepared to eat the entire ice cream cone in one bite.
“Uncle Fireman, that"s not how you"re supposed to eat ice cream; you"re supposed to lick it instead. If you eat everything in one bite, you won"t be able to taste its flavor,” Amy cautioned.
“Really?” Havid was a little skeptical, but he still did as he was told and licked the melting ice cream.
This sensation!
Havid"s eyes immediately widened. He felt as if snow was slowly melting on his tongue. An icy cool sensation soothed the scorching aftertaste of the spicy grilled fish, giving him a profound sense of satisfaction. He closed his eyes unconsciously, and began to savor the ice cream"s sweet and sour flavor.
He saw a pet.i.te purple crystal dragon resting on top of a cliff. She raised her proud head, and sang a gentle song with her eyes half-closed. Her voice was extremely alluring, and even though she was only humming a tuneless song, he was still completely intoxicated with her voice.
However, she was suddenly alerted to his approach, and she looked at him with a hint of wariness and surprise in her eyes before flying away.
That was their first and only encounter. He didn"t even get a chance to ask for her name, and he didn"t know where she lived, either. However, her exquisite purple figure and beautiful singing voice had left a deep impression in his heart.
In that instant, he suddenly understood what he was feeling. Perhaps, this was what people called love. Perhaps, this was the legendary… love at first sight?
“Uncle Fireman, your ice cream is about to melt,” Amy reminded.
Havid immediately opened his eyes upon hearing that before taking another lick of his ice cream. The cool sweet and sour flavor flourished in his mouth, and he wore an expression of pure bliss. He turned to Amy with a smile, and said, “You"re right, little girl. The right way to eat this ice cream is indeed to lick it.”
Even though she"s a purple crystal dragon, I could perhaps pay the purple crystal island a visit to find her when I go back this time. At the very least, I want to ask for her name, Havid thought to himself as he licked his ice cream. A faint blush appeared on his face, but thankfully, his entire body was covered in flames, so no one noticed.
Amy turned to look at Mag, and asked, “Uncle Fireman looks really adorable when he"s eating ice cream. Father, can I have one as well?”
“Of course. Which flavor would you like?” Mag nodded with a smile. Havid"s entire body was alight, but he was carefully licking an ice cream. The stark contrast was indeed a little adorable.
“I want a vanilla one. I still haven"t had the vanilla ice cream yet,” Amy replied.
“Alright, I"ll make one for you right now.” Mag patted Amy"s little head before entering the kitchen again.
Everyone was immersed in the dishes in front of them, and peace once again settled in the restaurant.
Demons and giant dragons were not good cooks. In fact, the vast majority ate all of their food raw.
However, Mag"s food had completely opened up their eyes to a brand-new world. They suddenly discovered just how delicious cooked food could be. It was completely different from anything that they had eaten in the past!
“Burp…”
A loud burp broke the silence in the restaurant. The burp seemed to be contagious as more burps soon followed in the restaurant. Even the two recording officials were burping as they rubbed their bulging stomachs with expressions of bliss and contentment.
“City Lord Michael, is the conference going to continue at this restaurant tomorrow?” Dracula asked.
Everyone else also turned to Michael upon hearing that.
“The city lord"s castle only reserved Mamy Restaurant for tonight, so if the conference continues tomorrow, the venue will no longer be here.” Michael shook his head in response. He then pointed at Mag, and said, “If you want to continue the conference here, then you"ll have to ask Mr. Mag if it can be arranged.”
