"I don't care what ingredients I eat, but it must be spicy or garlicky!"

Bobo and Lulu immediately exclaimed, then looked at each other and nodded together:

"Although the meals at home are made with top-quality ingredients and carefully prepared, they are all too bland, and we're tired of them. We just want to eat some of the delicious, simple snacks that you make, sister!"

"...Really, as the young master and daughter of the Melson family, do you prefer those heavily seasoned commoner snacks? My father and wife will probably lecture me again when they find out...sigh."

Emery sighed, but did not refuse:

"But I rarely come back, so I'll treat you guys to something delicious... It's just that some of the ingredients and seasonings needed for a simple snack might not be available at home, so I'll have to go buy them... Hmm, shall we go to the grocery store together? Let's see what else you like to eat and buy it all together."

"Good good!"

None of the hungry cats in the room refused.

Emerald had her butler deliver a magical levitation vehicle. This time, she drove it herself, taking Julia, Marcy, two little pink-haired girls, and a cat away from Melson Sky Manor to a relatively large grocery store in Sphingard.

Being with their easygoing older sister, Emerald, free from the constraints of family etiquette, the two little pink-haired girls were very excited. They even pushed shopping carts one by one and raced around the supermarket, knocking over several shelves in no time.

The supermarket staff were initially annoyed and planned to seek compensation from the two children's parents.

However, after seeing Bobo and Lulu's signature pink hair, the staff just quietly went to clean up the mess, without even stopping the two little pink-haired girls who were having fun.

Even if they're just a branch member of the family, they're still members of the Melson family. So what if they knocked over a few shelves? As long as the kids are happy, the family has plenty of money to pay for it.

In the end, Emery felt too embarrassed, so she disciplined the two little pink-haired girls and asked Marcy to go to the supermarket to get compensation.

After being scolded by their older sister, the two little pink-haired girls became well-behaved and seriously browsed the seafood section, selecting ingredients, while Amelie and Julia followed behind them.

"Huh? Emery? Julia? What are you doing here?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the side. Emery and Julia looked over and saw a muscular woman wearing a tank top and hot pants. It was Lieutenant Colonel Judy.

"Yeah, I have some business to take care of at home, and I'll bring my younger siblings out to play while I'm at it."

Emery greeted Judy with a smile, then asked:

"How come someone as busy as you, Judy, has time to go grocery shopping?"

"Hey, don't even mention it... I almost died before."

Judy suddenly sighed and poured out her troubles to Emerald:

"Not long ago, our unit received another mission to suppress a demonic tide. Intelligence indicated that the target was a level 4 demonic tide, which our unit was more than capable of handling... Who knew that the intelligence was wrong, and it turned out to be a level 5 demonic tide, with the demonic tide lord being a true ancient dragon."

"Hey?"

Amelie was somewhat surprised:

"Judy, you actually came back alive?"

"Hehe...You didn't expect that, did you? Actually, I was quite surprised too."

Judy couldn't help but feel a little proud as she said this:

"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to your wish magic system, Emerald... Didn't you send us a trial production machine last time? That trial production machine was eventually assigned to my unit. After all, I played the lead role in one of your movies, so I'm quite popular in the military."

"It was thanks to that wish magic system that I temporarily gained the magical power of all the mages in our unit, and at the same time, I successfully constructed a Thunder Giant by manipulating 108 lightning orbs... Although I still couldn't defeat the Ancient Dragon-level monster, I managed to hold out for a full 97 seconds before being defeated, and waited for reinforcements!"

"Great!"

Emery gave Judy a genuine compliment.

Because she herself was also in the Fusion stage, she was acutely aware of the vast difference between this level and a Master-level mage. Being able to withstand an Ancient Dragon-level monster lord for 97 seconds meant that Judy's strength at that time had definitely surpassed Julia's during the flood relief efforts in Locke City.

After all, although Judy's troops had a small total number of soldiers, they had too many mages. The magic power of several thousand people was definitely much higher than that of 20 people in Locke City. In addition, the Prayer Magic System that Emery sold to the military had been improved several times, and the magic power utilization rate had also increased. So this result is normal.

"Right? I also think I really pulled off a great performance this time."

Judy, even more pleased with herself after receiving Emery's praise, continued to boast:

"After such a dangerous mission, I'm sure I'll be rewarded! I got a month's leave for the whole unit, and it's only just begun... I'm going to take advantage of this time to have some fun and relax... Damn, those ancient dragon-level monsters are really scary."

It's clear that Judy still has some psychological trauma. If she's like this, the other mages in her unit probably aren't much better off... The military leadership must have noticed this, which is why they granted them a month's leave to rest properly.

"Sister~ Sister~ Who is she? Is she your friend?"

While they were chatting, two little pink-haired girls pushed a shopping cart over and looked at Judy with curiosity.

"Huh? You two... you must be Emerald's sisters?"

Judy half-squatted down and, quite naturally, touched Bobo and Lulu's cheeks:

"As Amelie's sister, how could she not recognize me? I'm the main character in her movie 'Extermination of the Demonic Tide'! I'm destined to become a Federation General!"

"Wow... no wonder she's my sister's friend, just as narcissistic as her~~"

Bobo and Lulu weren't shy at all, and they made faces at Judy together.

"……Um?"

Suddenly, Judy noticed something, her eyes lit up, and she stared intently at Bob.

"You actually... Wow... So that's really..."

The new discovery seemed to excite Judy so much that she became somewhat incoherent, but she managed to restrain herself and not lose her composure in front of the two pink-haired girls.

Only after the two little pink-haired girls went to select seafood did Judy quickly approach Emerald and whisper:

"That amazing little Nanliang... is actually your brother, Emily? Why didn't you introduce such a wonderful brother to me sooner? You knew I liked him... Hehe, is your brother engaged now? Would you mind if I called you 'sister' along with him from now on?"

Chapter 153 Father's Guidance

Judy looks nothing like the commanding figure she was in the movie; her eyes are shining, and she's rubbing her legs, practically drooling.

Amelie was also stunned for a moment, then didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Of course, Judy knew that she liked Little Nanliang. She even raised a Little Nanliang for Judy in Locke City so that Judy could sneak over to relax whenever she wanted. Judy didn't stand on ceremony and would go to visit a few times every month.

Now that Judy has run into Bobo, she's actually fallen in love with him at first sight... Well, Bobo, who loves wearing little skirts and looks just like his twin sister, is indeed a top-notch little girl, the kind of little girl with a sissy personality, who's practically hitting Judy's XP system, so it seems normal.

Is this feasible or not? And what benefits would it bring me?

Amelie quickly calculated in her mind.

Judy is the daughter of General Bessie. At a young age, she is already a lieutenant colonel and deputy commander, which means she has a bright future and is definitely a good match for the son of the Merson family... The only problem is that Judy's tough-girl appearance does not conform to the mainstream aesthetic of women, which may cause opposition from some conservative old men in her family.

However, Popovich is also a bit of a tough guy, and he's a perfect match for Judy, who's a fierce woman.

As for benefits... well, even if Bobo likes wearing skirts now, he's still the only male in the family. While the Allen Federation isn't exactly sexist, it still prioritizes men when it comes to inheriting the family business, unless there's an exceptionally outstanding and powerful woman in the family.

Emerald wasn't really interested in the position of head of the Melson family... Compared to the prominent position of head of the family, she preferred to secretly sideline the head of the family and control him as a puppet, and Popo was the best candidate at the moment.

Bobo will definitely get married in the future. If he marries an ambitious woman from another family, she may very well scheme against Emerald and even secretly encourage Bobo to break free from Emerald's control.

But if Judy marries into the family, things will be much easier... Although Judy is ambitious, she is already Emerald's collaborator, and Emerald has many ways to control her. In terms of risk expectation, it is less than letting Bobo marry a stranger.

If something can be accomplished and there's a profit to be made, then there's naturally no need to refuse.

"it is good."

Emerald decisively sold her little devil brother:

"I'll try to sound out my father for you. It shouldn't be a big problem. Anyway, Bobo isn't engaged right now, and her family doesn't have any plans in that regard... Also, I'll tell you some detailed information about Bobo. You should make the best of it."

"Ha...I knew you were a good friend, Emery!"

Judy was beaming, her mouth practically splitting open in a wide grin.

"Don't worry, if this really works out, then Emery, you'll be my sister from now on. I'll do whatever you ask me to do, I promise I'll be obedient!"

"Just hearing that is enough for me."

Emery nodded in satisfaction. Judy was indeed very sensible.

After chatting casually for a few more minutes, Judy said goodbye and left, while Emerald took Julia and the two little pink-haired girls to continue shopping.

The two little pink-haired girls were very excited, throwing all sorts of ingredients into the shopping cart and buying several jars of their favorite sauces.

The chefs in large families often also work as nutritionists, and the Melson family is no exception.

These chefs are actually very skilled, far superior to Amelie, who is only a mediocre cook. However, when preparing dishes, they often focus too much on locking in nutrients and preserving the original freshness of the ingredients.

There's nothing wrong with cooking like this, but most of the dishes produced are light and bland with little oil and salt. They are nutritious and delicious, but not satisfying enough.

In contrast, the food made with strong-flavored seasonings like chopped chili peppers, minced garlic, and fermented bean paste by Emerald is very enjoyable to eat and is loved by children. Bobo and Lulu, for example, have loved eating it since they were little.

They were really envious of Amelie's departure to start her own business for over a year. Although Amelie had lived on campus when she was in school, she would still go home every now and then. This was the first time she hadn't been home for over a year.

So Bobo and Lulu ate quite indulgently at this dinner, completely forgetting what they had learned in etiquette class, and their little mouths were covered in chili oil.

After eating and drinking their fill and resting for a while, the two little pink-haired girls started clamoring to play again.

Amelie planned to visit her father that evening, but after playing with the two little pink-haired girls for a short while, she entrusted them to Julia's care.

After a moment's thought, Yulia played with the two little pink-haired girls in the way she was best at.

fight.

Bobo is skilled at making magical devices, Lulu is a little genius in magic, and the two little pink-haired girls are very interested in practical combat.

Yulia then fought them.

Although the Magic Engineering School Sphinx, where Bobo studies, has a much higher teaching level than the Locke City branch school where Julia studies, Bobo is only a second-year student, while Julia has already graduated with excellent grades.

Currently, Yulia's professional knowledge in magical devices can still guide Bobo. More importantly, Yulia has rich practical experience and can offer many effective suggestions to Bobo, who is currently only studying theory, from different perspectives, which makes Bobo very happy.

As for Lulu, Yulia told her to unleash her magic and attack her freely, then casually punched away the magic.

In Locke City, whenever Yulia felt the urge to fight, besides going out of the city to find unlucky monsters to practice on, she would often drag Viliana to Ameliete's training ground for battles.

She was still completely baffled by the theories of elven magic, and always felt like dozing off during Viliana's magic lessons.

But she was very experienced in being hit by elven magic. She could get a lot of information and give guidance just by touching Lulu's magic with her fist.

"Your fireball is too cold, your wind blade isn't sharp enough, your ice spike isn't even as hard as an ice cream cone, and your casting is too slow..." Yulia completely disregarded the fact that Lulu was still very young. Using Viliana as a reference, she criticized Lulu's elven magic.

Despite being subjected to various forced instructions from Yulia, the two little pink-haired girls didn't get angry.

They were already fans of Julia, and now that they saw how amazing their idol was, they were so excited that they had a great time with Julia and temporarily forgot about their older sister, Emerald.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Amelie left Melson's Sky Manor again and flew alone in her magical chair toward the Melson Tower in the center of the Sphingard Melson District.

As the eldest daughter of the Melson family, Amelie was naturally already on Sphinx's air traffic control whitelist, allowing her to fly freely. The Melson Tower's defense system could also identify her immediately, opening the nearest door to welcome her in.

"Miss!"

As soon as Amelie put away her magical chair, several company employees in shirts and suits ran over, bowed, greeted her, and awaited her orders.

Is Father busy?

Emerald simply nodded slightly to them before asking a question.

"Replying to Miss..."

A middle-aged man who appeared to be in junior management stepped forward and answered the question:

"The CEO should still be in a meeting in the conference room on the 98th floor. I was summoned by him 14 minutes ago to deliver a document, and the meeting should still be going on... Miss, is there something important you need to discuss with the CEO?"

"...Well, it's not a big deal, it's more of a personal matter."

After a moment's thought, Amelie waved to the company employees:

"You don't need to worry about me. Go back to your work. I'll just wander around for a bit and then go find Father after his meeting."

"Yes!"

Several company employees nodded and bowed in obedience, then slowly withdrew.

Amelie said she would wait for her father's meeting to end, but she didn't wait at all and headed straight for the conference room on the 98th floor.

Even before Amelie entered the Melson Tower, news of her arrival had already been sent to those in the meeting via the company's internal communication network. Pias Melson, the current president of the Melson Group who was chairing the meeting, and the company executives attending the meeting all received the message.

Afterwards, Amelie answered the questions from the company employees, which further revealed to everyone the purpose of her visit to the company.

The company's senior management meetings can be held every day, and most of the time they don't involve anything important, but Miss Myerson doesn't come to the company every day.

The executives were all very emotionally intelligent and didn't want to be resented by the company's heiress. After Amelie joined the company, no one took the initiative to raise any issues, and they remained silent about previous topics.

Seeing this, Pias could only sigh and adjourn the meeting.

As the executives left their seats one by one, they happened to run into Amelie in the elevator lobby on the 98th floor, and all greeted her warmly.

Amelie also turned around and responded politely to these company executives.

After spending about half a minute getting rid of the dozen or so old men into the elevator, Emery continued walking toward the conference room, where only one person remained.

Pias Melson, the current president of the Melson Group, the eldest son of the Melson family head, and also the biological father of Emerald.
