Chapter 1397: Boss Mag, Please Marry Me
“I can even have a complete set of dentures with ivory?” Vanessa looked at the elephant tusk in Irina’s hand, shocked.
“Of course. Why else do you think we have elves that are over 700 years old with a perfect set of teeth? Their teeth started falling off when they’re around 600 years old, so they basically all got ivory dentures at 700 years old.” Irina nodded with a smile, and said, “Besides, you’ll be just like a hound when you’ve gotten your set of ivory dentures.”
“What has this got to do with hounds?” Vanessa asked curiously.
“Your teeth would be as clean as a hound’s tooth,” Irina said with a smile.
Vanessa was stunned, while Mag and the rest could not help but crack up.
“Even though it sounds very impressive, I think I would still want to keep my teeth. Big Sister Irina, can I trouble you to use the elephant tusk to do the ivory filling for me, please?” Vanessa looked at Irina sincerely.
Her dental problems had troubled her for many years. Although she always told herself in consolation that she had no friends to show her teeth to, who wouldn’t want to be in the limelight, standing in a beautiful evening dress at the most lavish palace banquet?
She did not want to be the ugly monster who was afraid to face the world. She did not want to hide alone behind the palace walls outside Rodu.
Of course, the most important thing was that she really wanted to have a taste of the spicy hot pot and spicy grilled fish!
“Open your mouth.” Irina lifted Vanessa’s chin with a finger, and used the paring knife to carve out small bits from the elephant tusk. She curled her finger, and the ivory bits floated up and were enveloped by a golden glow. They softened quickly, and were inserted into each cavity.
The process of softening the ivory and inserting it into the cavity was very quick. It took only around two to three minutes in total. When Irina retracted her finger, Vanessa’s cavity-filled teeth were completely mended.
Furthermore, there was no difference between the color of the ivory and teeth, so there was no trace of any dental filling. Even the curve of the surface of the teeth looked perfectly normal.
“That’s great! Your— Young Mistress, your teeth have been mended, and they are now neat and white,” Lola exclaimed as tears of joy welled up in her eyes.
Vanessa raised the mirror and looked at her pearly white teeth for a while, stunned, before tears started rolling down her cheeks.
“Aren’t you satisfied?” Irina asked, after going over to take a look.
Vanessa shook her head as she lamented, “No, look, what a beautiful young lady, how did the beauty get overlooked by the teeth?”
Irina nodded, and said, “Yeah. If you’ve cured your dental problems sooner, you might have been betrothed to a demon king. The kind with eyeballs all over his body.”
Vanessa paused for a while from the shock. Even her tears stopped falling. She looked at Irina with fear.
“I was kidding.” Irina caressed Vanessa’s head with a smile. Before the latter could react, Irina continued, “The Roth Empire is on okay terms with the Fear Demon Tribe. You might end up with a forest troll prince that has lizards crawling all over his body.”
“Wah!” Vanessa started wailing. She covered her mouth, and said with grievance, “I’m scared of lizards. I don’t want a fear demon prince or a forest troll prince. I don’t want to marry a prince…”
Vanessa glanced around the restaurant and finally looked at Mag. She looked at him with plea in her eyes and said, “Boss Mag, please marry me.”
“Hm?” Mag, who was just watching the show, was stunned. Why did she suddenly cue him to marry her?
“Would he dare to?” Irina smiled and looked at Mag.
“I wouldn’t dare to do that. I’m worried that Duke Abraham would tear me apart.” Mag waved his hands quickly and laughed awkwardly. If he dared to nod, Irina alone could tear him apart.
However, after mending her teeth and solving her dental problems, Vanessa could really be considered a beautiful woman. She had perfectly inherited the good looks of the royal family and bloodline.
Mag met the queen at a palace banquet before. Vanessa had inherited her beauty and charisma. She was tall and had a long, slender neck like a swan.
“Ding! Congratulations on completing Vanessa’s teeth-mending mission! Mission reward: One recipe for durian pizza.” The system’s voice rang in Mag’s head.
Mag raised his brow. It had been a long and arduous mission. Thankfully, with Xixi and Irina’s help, it was finally completed, and he could finally be rid of the tooth decay threat.
Vanessa, who was rejected by Mag, was a little disappointed. Did Boss Mag not have a bit of interest in her even after her teeth were back to normal?
“Vansa, your teeth have recovered, so you can eat whatever you want. You just need to maintain the good habit of brushing your teeth once every morning and night, and you won’t have to worry about dental problems anymore,” Mag said with a smile.
“Yeah!” Vanessa’s eyes lit up, and a bright smile appeared on her face again. She looked at Mag, and said, “Then can I try the insanely spicy grilled fish and spicy hot pot?”
“I won’t stop you if you want to give it a try.” Mag nodded.
“That’s great.” Vanessa smiled radiantly. She thought for a while, quickly got Lola to open her bag, and pulled out a thick envelope filled with cash. She passed it to Mag, and said, “Boss Mag, this is just a little something to thank you for helping me treat my teeth. I am very grateful.”
“You’re welcome.” Mag accepted the heavy envelope happily. It was not bad to take this experience as a form of transaction. In any case, the relationship between them was quite awkward. His father and her father and two brothers were enemies, so he was already very kind to her.
Vanessa then removed a white jade pendant that she had on her and passed it to Xixi, gratefully saying, “Big Sister Xixi, this is my favorite jade pendant. Thank you for helping me treat my teeth.”
Xixi looked at the jade pendant. It was very smooth, and there were even beautiful patterns on the surface. She thought for a while, and decided to accept the jade pendant. “Thank you.”
Vanessa looked at Irina, and thought seriously for a while. She was in a dilemma.
“It’s alright. Considering our relationship, just 10 or 20 million will do,” Irina said with a smile.
“In that case… I’ll have to go back and ask my father for it,” Vanessa said with distress.
“Then you can just put it on your tab for now, and get him to send the money over. You’re in my hands now anyway,” Irina said in a relaxed manner.
“That’s true. Then I’ll write him a letter tonight.” Vanessa nodded.
Mag looked at Irina as though she was trying to cheat a little child of her money, and pretended that he did not know anything. Of course, he did not dare to ask anything as well.
Vanessa left happily, and Xixi also took her leave. Only Mag and Irina were left in the restaurant.
Mag stared at Irina and weighed the envelope with his hand before emptying it out on the table. A pile of dragon coins rolled out. Smiling, he said, “That’s not a bad transaction.”
“Are restaurant owners nowadays so concerned about their customers’ dental health? I saw a few old men with bad teeth today,” Irina asked with a smile.
