Little Amy licked the honey sauce on the chicken fillet, and her eyes immediately narrowed with happiness - this nine-year-old girl hadn't smiled since her parents were attacked by the magic wolf.
Seven-year-old twin girls, Susie and Sophie, stretched out their hands at the same time, but drew them back as if they had been electrocuted when they touched the edge of the plates - their cuffs showed purple whip marks, which were caused by being beaten by the restaurant owner when they stole leftovers from a small town restaurant two days ago.
The wonderful taste brought by technology and hard work made five-year-old Anne whimper like a kitten, and there was a piece of meat stuck in the gap where her front tooth was missing.
Ten-year-old Lilia is a mute girl - she is not born mute, but her throat was damaged by coughing when she was sick when she was a child.
She carefully opened a bottle of inky black drink, put her nose close to it to sniff it, and then poured herself a glass.
When the Coke began to foam like pearls in the silver cup, Lilith mustered up her courage, picked up the cup with trembling hands and took a sip.
The novel feeling brought by the carbonic acid stimulation made the girl who had been aphasic for three years open her gray-blue eyes wide and make intermittent sounds in her throat.
Arlene was struggling with the slippery pudding with her fork, the caramel pulling golden threads across the porcelain plate, a smile spreading across her jam-stained face - the dimple on her left cheek was exactly the same as her dead mother's.
……
The little girls were all caught up in the struggle with the food, except for 12-year-old Mei Jia who did not sit down but walked towards Chen Ming instead.
When I heard Maya say yesterday that there was a noble magician who needed to recruit maids, and as long as she was chosen by him, she would be given a warm home and delicious food.
She only believed it 30%, but because there was really no way to survive, she still stepped forward and begged the other party to take her sister away - there was at least a 30% chance of survival.
After seeing Chen Ming's friendly attitude, she only believed it 90% and still remained 10% cautious.
Now that the facts were laid before her, she finally believed it and immediately let down her guard. After all, these wandering orphans had been despised and bullied since childhood. Mei Jia, an orphan herself, knew this all too well.
Especially those children with physical deformities or defects are more disliked by others.
But the owner treated them all equally, and his eyes were always full of love when he looked at these disabled children, without any disgust like others.
As for these delicious foods, even the noble lords would probably not be willing to eat them every day - the 12-year-old Mejia has some understanding of prices, and spices are very expensive!
But the owner was so generous as to give these orphans food, and he gave them generous portions so that they were full!
This can't be acting!
Because Mejia knew her own limitations. Orphans like them weren't worth the magician's elaborate deception. Even if they were sold off, they wouldn't be worth the price of a single dish on the table. (Mejia didn't know that Maya had earned 21400 gold coins from selling them, a sum she could use to buy spices.)
Therefore, the master's behavior must be sincere and without any falsehood, so the bright future he promised must be true.
Thinking of this, Mei Jia walked over quietly, knelt down in front of Chen Ming and confessed guiltily:
"Master, I actually doubted your promise before. Please punish me as a warning to others..."
Her voice was pleasant and gentle. If you didn't look at her scarred face, you could almost imagine the image of a gentle and graceful girl in your mind - she was dirty and couldn't be seen clearly before, and it was only after she took a shower that Chen Ming saw the scars on her face.
I guess this is why she can still remain pure at the age of 12.
"A maid who doubts her master deserves to be punished, but since this is your first offense, I'll just keep it a record for now!"
Although Chen Ming felt that her suspicion was normal and there was no need to punish her.
But this is influenced by the concept of equality among everyone in modern society. If it were placed in this No. 1 world, the master would generally kill a chicken to scare the monkeys and use one to warn a hundred in order to maintain his authority.
So he compromised, postponed the punishment, and added: "As long as you serve me loyally in the future, you can make amends. Otherwise, I will punish you for all your crimes. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
After receiving the host's forgiveness, Mejia took the food from the table with peace of mind and began to eat it in small bites.
It was not known whether she did it on purpose or accidentally, but Mejia did not go back to sit with the little girls, but just stood next to the host and ate.
This strange behavior naturally attracted Chen Ming's attention. He looked at Mei Jia's face.
If you ignore those hideous scars and just judge from her facial features, Mejia should be quite good-looking.
Unfortunately, the scars all over her face completely ruined her beauty. I don’t know how she got injured.
However, it was a blessing in disguise, as it allowed her to avoid a lot of trouble and finally successfully seize the opportunity given by Chen Ming.
Now, it's time for these scars to retire with honor.
After she finished her lunch, Chen Ming waved and said, "Come here, I will help you heal the scar on your face!"
His tone was neither hurried nor slow, as if he was narrating a very ordinary matter.
But Meijia's body trembled violently upon hearing this, and her breathing became rapid. After all, no one wanted to remain so ugly. Even though she had long been accustomed to the scarred appearance of her face, she couldn't help but feel excited when she heard that her master was going to heal her.
"Thank you, Master!"
Meijia approached without hesitation.
Mejia had no doubt at all about the master's claim that he could heal the scars on her face, and believed every word the master said - after all, the master was a magician, and in the eyes of ordinary people, magicians have always been mysterious and powerful beings.
"Close your eyes!"
Upon hearing the instruction, Mejia closed her eyes obediently.
Seeing this, Chen Ming began to chant the magic rune of [Water of Life]. Aqua-blue ripples filled with vitality poured into Meijia's head like a sudden enlightenment, and first gathered in her eyes.
One of her eyes was damaged. Chen Ming estimated that it was probably injured at the same time as the scars all over her face.
With the constant nourishment of vitality, Mejia's lifeless eye was gradually restored.
At the same time, Mejia also felt itchy around her blind eye. She wanted to scratch it with her hand, but thinking that she was undergoing treatment, she forced herself to restrain herself.
Fortunately, the itchy feeling passed quickly. Chen Ming spent a lot of magic power to reshape her eye.
"Okay, you can open your eyes."
Chen Ming smiled as he recovered his magic power.
Mei Jia opened her eyes upon hearing this. The eye that had been damaged for many years suddenly repaired, which made her a little unable to adapt to it for a while, but after blinking a few times, she gradually adapted.
The field of vision was different from what she had seen before, and now the range of vision she could see was wider.
Mejia immediately understood the reason, her body trembled slightly, and she began to experiment.
She closed her left eye first, and her field of vision returned to its previous state.
Then he opened his left eye and closed his right eye - just a minute ago, he couldn't see anything by doing this because Mejia's left eye had been damaged for a long time.
But at this moment she was not plunged into darkness, and she could see everything in front of her very clearly.
"My eyes..." she said in a trembling voice.
"How do you feel?" Chen Ming asked softly, looking at her left eye, which had now become lively and shiny again.
"I can see it now." Meijia's voice trembled with excitement.
"Next it's time to treat the scars on your face."
Chen Ming continued, and while she was adjusting to her new eyes, his magic power had silently recharged.
Mei Jia obediently closed her eyes again. In fact, she didn't have to do that. Chen Ming asked her to close her eyes before because he needed to repair her eyes.
However, Chen Ming did not stop her. Closing her eyes would not affect the treatment effect anyway.
Theoretically speaking, the skin on her face from the knife wounds had already healed a long time ago, it just didn't look very pretty.
Faced with this kind of larger and deeper old scar,
If Chen Ming had used the modern aesthetic treatments of his previous life, they would typically involve surgical removal of scar tissue and the use of skin grafts or flaps to repair the wound. Post-surgery also requires meticulous suturing and care to ensure wound healing and minimize scarring.
Of course, there are many ways to remove scars through medical aesthetics, including laser treatment, microneedle treatment, hyaluronic acid filler injection, radiotherapy, topical drug treatment and other options. The specific method to choose should be determined based on the type and degree of individual scars and the doctor's advice.
But in this world with magic, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, and removing the scar tissue that has already grown is definitely a very painful thing. Chen Ming doesn't want Mei Jia to suffer, her previous life has been hard enough!
Anyway, it just consumes a little more magic power, and it can be restored to full in minutes.
As he chanted, [Water of Life] was activated again, continuously releasing water-blue ripples containing vitality.
The cells on Mejia's face are rapidly regenerated and the old cells die off.
As we all know, the human body's epidermal cell renewal cycle is generally 28 to 30 days, but it is worth noting that certain factors may affect the renewal cycle of epidermal cells, such as the use of drugs...
Compared to drugs, magic with extraordinary power is easier to change a person's epidermal cell renewal cycle.
Chen Ming's magic power transformed into vitality as if it were free, gathering on Mei Jia's cheeks. The scarred skin aged and fell off at a speed almost visible to the naked eye, revealing a brand new face underneath.
He looked at Meijia with satisfaction, who had completely recovered to normal. The scars on her face had all disappeared, and her clean eyes had become deep and clear.
After the treatment, Mei Jia seemed to be unsatisfied and subconsciously touched her face. The feeling from her hand was completely different from the previous crisscross feeling.
While Chen Ming was returning to his magic state, he took out a mirror from the system space and handed it over.
A minute ago, Mejia was terrified to see her disfigured appearance.
But now, she couldn't wait any longer. She took the mirror with both hands respectfully and looked at herself. She finally saw a brand new self.
Just like the feeling on his hand just now, his face was no longer torn and looked messy.
Chapter 73: Tuhade's Demonic Eye
"Is that me in this mirror?"
Mei Jia muttered to herself, her eyes filled with tears.
“This is you!”
Chen Ming soothed in an affirmative tone.
Seeing that the treatment was completed, Meimi also trotted in and said in surprise: "Sister! You have become more beautiful?"
In fact, at this moment, Mei Jia could not be described as beautiful, after all, she was still very thin.
To determine what level she can reach in the future, we have to wait until she recovers and grows up to 18 years old.
However, compared to her previous state of being dirty and having scars on her face, she does look a lot better after taking a bath and receiving treatment.
Meijia smiled gently, reached out and gently stroked Meimi's head, and said with a smile: "After the master finishes treating you, you will become cute too!"
Hearing this, Meimi immediately looked at her master with admiration, her eyes showing surprise: "Master, will I become beautiful too?"
"Of course." Chen Ming nodded with a smile, "I will cure you one by one. You can start first, Meimi."
There are many little girls, and there must be a first and a last.
"I... I'm not in a hurry. Can I let other servants treat me first?" Although Meimi's face was full of nervousness and anticipation, she still kindly planned to give up the front treatment position.
"Meimi, do not disobey your master's orders."
This time it was Meijia who answered. She came over, gently put her arm around Meimi's thin shoulders, and said softly, "Come, close your eyes."
In fact, there was no need to close her eyes. She regarded the process she had just done as a necessary procedure.
One is Meimi's most admired master, and the other is Meimi's most beloved sister. Faced with the joint persuasion of the two, Meimi naturally could not refuse and closed her eyes obediently.
Her condition was much milder than Megha's, and she was cured by the aqua-blue ripples of the [Water of Life]. Even the small scars on the soles of her feet caused by gravel were healed - most of these little girls had gone barefoot before.
After Meimi was cured, the little girls nearby also ran over and surrounded the recovered Meijia and Meimi, looking at them excitedly.
Some clever little girls gathered around Chen Ming, and the space around him was almost filled with little girls.
"Master, can my broken arm be healed?" The speaker was a little girl named Arlene, about seven or eight years old. The rest of her body was normal, except for her left hand, which was missing and the wound at the broken end was jagged.
"Of course." Chen Ming nodded affirmatively.
When the little girl got his answer, she was so happy that she burst into tears.
"What about me?" asked another bald girl, her face full of nervousness and anticipation.
"You can do it too." Chen Ming said with a smile, and looked at the little girls around him, "You too, I will heal you one by one from now on. Come, line up..."
Under his instructions, the little girls lined up very obediently and walked in front of him one by one.
Perhaps because they had just had a hearty meal, their faces were filled with innocent smiles, as if they had temporarily forgotten the hardships and difficulties of their previous wandering.
Most little girls only have minor illnesses that can be cured by taking some medicine. With magic treatment, it will be faster. Basically, they just need to stand in front of Chen Ming for a few seconds.
The efficient scene was like an assembly line in a factory—the purple whip marks on Susie and Sophie's bodies gradually disappeared, and Lilia's voice could be heard again...
Ten minutes later, only a few little girls with severe disabilities were left in front of Chen Ming.
Their disabilities need to be treated slowly. For example, for the little girl with a big head, we need to treat her deformed head while promoting her body growth. The two combined will eventually restore her to a coordinated state.
Chen Ming estimated that it would take about a month of small, frequent treatments for her body to adapt to the changes.
Seeing that it was her turn in the queue, the little girl took a cautious step forward. She was top-heavy and would fall if she wasn't careful. In her excitement, she took a big step. To avoid falling, she had to hold on to Chen Ming's calf.
"What's your name?"
Chen Ming asked with a smile, and at the same time used a very skilled head-patting move, which made the little girl even happier!
She was very impressed by this gentle master, who not only gave her meat to eat, but was also very kind and was even prepared to treat her illness!
I am so lucky to be the master's maid.
