Half an hour later, the waiter and the shopkeeper, who were watching from afar, were delighted.

"Shopkeeper, what exactly is the relationship between this pretty boy, Physician Cuiyu, the Second Miss, and the Third Miss?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper stroked his beard and said with an air of understanding.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is a huge love quadrangle."

Xiao Er was curious about "what is a love quadrangle".

"Short hair and short brains indeed."

The shopkeeper slapped the waiter on the head and explained.

"A love quadrangle is a relationship involving four people: you like me, he likes you, I like him..."

"Do you understand?"

The waiter was completely bewildered, but to avoid being slapped again, he kept nodding in agreement.

"I understand, I understand. The shopkeeper is truly knowledgeable."

"Phew, I'm exhausted, Lady Ya Ya."

Tu Shan Ya Ya supported Chi Mu Sheng, panting heavily, turning around and around, but Cui Yu Ling refused to have a friendly face-to-face conversation with her.

Cui Yuling leaned on Chi Musheng's shoulder and lazily looked down at Tu Shan Yaya.

"Ya Ya, you seem a bit weak. Would you like me to help you with some massage?"

Actually, she was serious about what she said. She had wanted to give Xiaoya a hand massage therapy for a long time, but unfortunately, she never had the chance.

Little Ya Ya's body must be very soft and bouncy, and maybe even smells like milk.

"Ah! Lady Ya Ya doesn't need that."

Tu Shan Ya Ya roared and jumped up, biting at Cui Yu Ling's arm that was draped over Chi Mu Sheng's shoulder. If she couldn't hit it, she could still bite it!

However, all of this seemed to be within Cui Yuling's expectations. Her arm slid across like a white snake and disappeared on Chi Musheng's shoulder. As she left, a smile appeared on Cui Yuling's face.

By the time Chi Musheng realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

Tu Shan Ya Ya's gaping maw bit down on his shoulder once more. This time, the force was so great that the blood on Chi Mu Sheng's shoulder soaked through his outer clothes, flowing into Tu Shan Ya Ya's mouth and filling it with the taste of rust.

Just as Tu Shan Ya Ya was looking over triumphantly, she discovered that Cui Yu Ling was watching her from a distance. Who was she biting? After slowly releasing her mouth, she looked up and saw Chi Mu Sheng with a gloomy face, clutching his shoulder.

Maru, she bit the wrong person.

"Yes, I'm sorry, you bastard, Lady Ya Ya didn't mean it."

Tu Shan Ya Ya hurriedly grabbed Chi Mu Sheng's hand and apologized.

She knew exactly how hard she had bitten, because she had stopped only when she bit down to the bone, which meant that Chi Musheng had a row of deep wounds on her shoulder that exposed the bone.

"It's alright, it's not the first time anyway. Second Miss, please eat first."

Chi Musheng slowly pushed away Tu Shan Yaya's small hand, clutched his shoulder, and walked towards the door. This play couldn't continue; if he kept playing, he would ruin himself first.

Blood dripped onto the ground, from the feet to the doorway.

Tu Shan Ya Ya wanted to chase after her, but Cui Yu Ling blocked her way at that moment.

"Get out of my way, or don't blame Lady Ya Ya for really beating you up."

Cui Yuling placed her finger on Tu Shan Ya Ya's bright red lips and said.

"First of all, he's the Demon King."

"Secondly, Ya Ya, there's no use in you going after her. Let your older sister handle it. Don't forget, she's the number one healer of the demon race; this injury is no problem for her."

"Also, Ya Ya, you'd better clean the blood from around your mouth."

After saying this, Cui Yuling turned around and chased after Chi Musheng, leaving Tu Shan Yaya, a fox, alone in the restaurant.

At the end of the road, Cui Yuling glanced back at Tu Shan Ya Ya and thought to herself, "Little Ya Ya still dotes on you. She just let you taste it, so don't blame her for being immoral."

Tu Shan Ya Ya stood there, not knowing what to do. She seemed to have really made Chi Mu Sheng angry.

She turned her head and looked at the table full of dishes, but at that moment she had no appetite at all.

When the waiter and the shopkeeper saw Tu Shan Ya Ya with her mouth full of blood, their hearts skipped a beat. The timid waiter even sat down on the ground with a thud.

"Second Miss, you're not going to eat a demon, are you?"

The shopkeeper was so frightened by the waiter's words that he trembled, his voice shaking.

"Shouldn't...no way."

Tu Shan Ya Ya plopped down on a stool, looking at the table full of dishes, but she had no appetite.

But I still unconsciously licked my lips with my tongue.

A faint rusty taste lingers in the mouth; it tastes a bit strange at first, but then has a hint of sweetness.

Little did they know how terrifying this scene was in the eyes of the shopkeeper and the waiter. They had only one thought: to get out of there as soon as possible and stay away from the second young lady.

From then on, a new rumor emerged in Tushan: the Second Miss could eat people and demons.

Chi Musheng dragged his injured shoulder to the clinic and sat down, staring blankly at the distant sky, as if the wound on his shoulder no longer hurt.

Although the price paid today was a bit heavy, at least it was effective. I believe that in a few more days we can complete the contract and end the entanglement with Tu Shan Ya Ya.

"Little brother, what are you thinking about?"

A light voice came from beside his ear, followed by soft strands of hair brushing against his neck.

"Sister, you're back!"

Chi Musheng's expression changed, and he said with a smile.

"If they don't come back, what will happen to the wound on your shoulder? What, are you thinking to yourself, 'Get out of the way, I'm using you as a shield'?"

"How could that be? It's an unexpected situation, it's normal."

Chi Musheng shook his head. This little wound was nothing. Before he came to Tushan, he was beaten much worse. Sometimes, he was even beaten unconscious, and then medicine was applied to him the next day to help him recover.
