“That’s right,” Ya Zi said proudly. “There are always rumors that our father is not good to us brothers because we look different. But that’s not true. It’s just that each of us brothers has a different personality, and he can’t manage us well, so he just lets us grow up freely. As long as we don’t cause any big trouble, our father usually doesn’t care about us.”

"So, does that mean you brothers have a very good relationship?"

Yue Jiuling is a little curious about Ya Zi's family. Ying Long has so many sons, will the brothers be at odds?

Ya Zi shook her head and said, "No, although neither of us has a very good temper, we are mostly easy to get along with. Besides, we are often apart, so even if we disagree, we won't argue."

"Oh, I see."

Yue Jiuling finally understood. Although their family was somewhat complicated, the relationships were still quite good, and the brothers were very harmonious, which was rare, unlike the ancient royal families and nobles of the human world who often fought and killed each other. Of course, some large families in modern times also have similar situations.

As the two chatted, the octopus spirit owner was also busy at work, but while he was busy with his hands, his eyes kept glancing at a restaurant across the street.

The restaurant across the street has been open for almost a month, and its business has been booming ever since. It only opens at night, but it doesn't look like a normal late-night snack shop.

The restaurant's decor is somewhat retro, featuring an old-fashioned bamboo building, and the sign hanging above the entrance reads: Shi Ren (食仁).

The restaurant's decor looked very appealing, but although it was bustling with people inside, no one could see what was going on inside from the outside. Therefore, the octopus-like owner was secretly observing the area across the street.

After seeing another customer enter the restaurant, the octopus-spirit boss hesitated for a moment before turning back to look at Ya Zi and his companion, who were still chatting away.

He thought for a moment, then finally picked up the already grilled octopus and large fish, went to Yue Jiuling and the others, and said, "Comrades, your octopus is ready~"

Yue Jiuling happened to be hungry, so she reached out to take the plate from the owner and said, "Thank you."

But when Yue Jiuling took the plate of food, she saw that the owner, who was supposed to have left, was still standing there, looking at the two of them with a strange expression.

When Ya Zi saw his boss's expression, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong, boss?"

The restaurant owner was a little scared when he saw Ya Zi's appearance, but he still hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Well, it's like this, comrades, I want to report the restaurant across the street. That restaurant is a bit strange. I suspect that the owner is also a monster, and possibly a very big one."

The octopus spirit boss remembered that a couple of days ago, out of curiosity about the business across the street, he tried to sneak a peek across the street, only to discover a very powerful demonic aura inside, which scared him away.

Ya Zi and Yue Jiuling exchanged glances after hearing what the octopus spirit boss said. Yue Jiuling said, "A demon? You're a demon too, and you do business in the human world. What's so strange about that? Or have you discovered something different?"

Hearing this, the octopus demon boss knew they were interested, so he leaned closer to them and whispered, "It's like this, even when we're doing business, we try to conceal our aura so we can do business with anyone. But when I went to look across the street the other day, I found the demonic energy there was too strong. We ordinary demons didn't dare to get close at all. It felt like they only did business with humans and didn't welcome other species at all. I think that's very strange."

When Yue Jiuling and the other person heard this, they also felt that something was wrong. Most of the demons who do business in the human world are willing to do business with any species, so their shop was indeed a bit strange.

Ya Zi, biting into a piece of fish, said to the octopus spirit boss, "Alright, we understand. We'll go check it out after we finish eating."

Upon hearing this, the octopus-themed boss quickly replied, "Oh, okay, I'll get back to work now."

Looking at the brightly lit restaurant across the street, where only voices could be heard but no people were in sight, Yue Jiuling said, "Tsk~ It looks like business is booming. I wonder what they sell inside, and whether it's good."

Ya Zi also said, "I want to go in and take a look too, but if they really don't welcome monsters, should we let Dong Feng and the others go in instead?"

"Hmm, tsk~ Let's go check what's going on first. Maybe the octopus boss's cultivation level is too low?"

Yue Jiuling said.
