Chapter 1361: Your Father Said He’s Going To Wash Our Feet For Us Today
Alfred from whom only charred skin was left, the lingering explosive smell in the air, and the broken chief’s order tablet all pointed to one conclusion.
The abyss demons and flaming demons were staring at each other, and the atmosphere began to get tense gradually. However, there was still befuddlement in their eyes.
Even though both the abyss demons and the flaming demons were pro-war tribes, and had some small conflicts due to their proximity, their overall relationship wasn’t too bad, as they were both powerful tribes.
So why did Alfred and Simmons decide to have a duel here, and why did both of them end up dead?
Their chiefs’ death was an earth-shattering matter for both tribes.
“The flaming demons killed our chief. Let’s kill them to avenge our chief!” someone among the abyss demons shouted.
The two groups who were in a stand-off were ignited instantly. They shouted and ran toward one another. Flames began to burn on the sea’s surface amidst the deafening shouts and roars.
The battle ended 30 minutes later, and bodies of the demons were strewn all over the sea’s surface. Only a few of them escaped with injuries.
That night, nobody slept on Abyss Island and Flaming Island.

On the other hand, Mag and Irina, who’d caused all this, returned to the crayfish restaurant.
He was still betting with Irina on their way back that Amy and Ugly Duckling were still watching Tom and Jerry. The one who lost would wash the other person’s feet that night. In the end, they found Amy and Ugly Duckling searching for something amid all the spare parts.
“Did you find them, Ugly Duckling? Where have they gone? We saw them in the little box earlier,” Amy said anxiously as she crouched on the floor and knocked on the tablet’s screen
“Meow, meow~” Ugly Duckling shook its head as it searched through the spare parts that were taken apart violently with its paws.
“Seems like I’ve won.” Irina smiled and locked her mirthful gaze on Mag. He had never washed her feet for her before.
“Little Amy, what are you…” Mag looked at those spare parts helplessly. Judging from their conversation, Amy and Ugly Duckling had taken apart the tablet in order to release Tom and Jerry.
What a loving idea; he couldn’t really reprimand them.
“Father, Mother. You two are back.” Amy got up from the floor as soon as she heard their voices, and threw herself at them.
“What’s going on here, Little Amy? Why did you two take the tablet apart?” Mag asked with a severe expression as he picked Amy up.
“I think it’s sad that they could only play inside such a small box. I want to release them out of there so we all play together,” Amy said with a naive expression. But she soon disappointedly said, “However, they disappeared after I took the box apart. They seem to be hiding somewhere. Maybe they didn’t want to play with Amy?”
Mag’s heart softened when he saw Amy’s aggrieved expression, so he shook his head and smiled. “Of course not. Because they aren’t really hiding in this box. Those were only their images. Hence, you cannot find them even if you take the box apart.”
“Images?” Amy was a little perplexed.
“That means someone recorded what they’ve seen with video. In that way, that image could be preserved forever. We could see the images that others recorded through this box, so that cat and mouse weren’t in the box. In fact, they were in a very far away place,” Mag explained with a smile. He didn’t want to tell Amy this was a cartoon that didn’t exist in real life.
“Oh, I see.” Amy nodded as if she understood. Even though she couldn’t completely understand her father’s words, she understood that the cat and mouse weren’t in the box. She turned and looked at the tablet that was split into pieces by her, and her expression became self-reproachful and uneasy. She grasped her clothes with her hand and stole a look at Mag as she softly said, “But… Ugly Duckling and I destroyed it.”
“It’s fine. Father knows Little Amy didn’t do it on purpose. Just don’t take things apart again in the future.” Mag couldn’t bear to lecture Amy after seeing her self-reproachful expression. He shook his head with a smile before putting Amy down, and walking toward those spare parts.
The tablet that was taken apart by force was already beyond repair.
He gathered the bigger parts together, and dumped them into the trash can before clicking on the robot vacuum. The circular robot vacuum quickly moved over, scanned the rubbish, and then cleared it all away.
“Then, can we ever see that cat and mouse again?” Amy asked Mag.
“There you go.” Mag took out another tablet that the system just delivered from a shelf, and passed it to Amy with a smile.
“Woah. There’s another one!” Amy’s eyes lit up, and she accepted it with both her hands.
“Don’t take it apart again this time,” Mag said smilingly. He only let go after Amy nodded gravely.
“Let’s go, Little Amy. Your father said he’s going to wash our feet tonight. Let’s watch Tom and Jerry while we get our feet washed.” Irina went up to pick up Amy, and then threw a glance at Mag. “It’s time to go boil water.”
“Alright…” Mag nodded sheepishly. What else could he do except accept his defeat? He’d never expected Amy to take the tablet apart.
Mag filled up two wooden basins with hot water before dripping a few drops of rose essential oil into them. After some thought, he took a rose from a vase at the side, and scattered petals into the water before bringing the basins into the room.
Irina and Amy were sitting on a big and small chair, respectively. Ugly Duckling was huddled in Amy’s arms with only its head poking out. They were watching Tom and Jerry intently, and laughing out loud every now and then.
Mag’s gaze landed on Irina’s feet. She’d already removed her shoes, and a pair of fair and long legs was revealed. No excess impurities were found on the fair and round toes, the slender and slightly curved arch, and the round and adorable heels. They looked like white lotus flowers that had just blossomed, clean and beautiful.
These were a pair of feet that resembled a work of art.
Mag’s eyes lit up. Even though he didn’t have a foot fetish, he could appreciate a pair of beautiful feet.
“Here comes the water.” Mag came in with one big and one small basin, and placed them next to Irina’s and Amy’s feet.
“Didn’t you say you’re going to wash my feet for me?” Irina smilingly asked as she lifted a foot up, and shifted her gaze from the screen to Mag’s face.
“I want to wash my feet too.” Amy also lifted her smooth and round feet up, and looked at Mag smilingly.
“Alright. I will be a hardworking feet-washer today.” Mag looked at the two pairs of feet in front of him and smiled helplessly. He shifted the wooden basins under their feet before placing them into the basins gently. Then, he took a small stool from the side and sat down in front of them.
