As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...
Midnight, on the food street.
At this time, the late-night food stalls on the street were still operating busily, but Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi did not go to any of the shops and went straight to their destination for the night, the 'Shi Ren' restaurant.
"Hello, how many people are in your party?"
The waiter standing at the door to greet the guests was not the same person from last night, but an ordinary human. He saw Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi enter and led them into the restaurant.
Yue Jiuling didn't seem to mind that they had been replaced, and simply followed the waiter, saying, "There should still be seats inside, right? Let's hope it's not packed like last night!"
Upon hearing Yue Jiuling's words, the waiter smiled and said, "No, you arrived early today, so there are seats available. Would you like to eat in the main hall or would you like a private room?"
Ya Zi looked around the lobby and said, "Let's eat here."
The waiter understood that Yazi meant to eat in the main dining area, so he let them choose their own seats.
The restaurant's interior design was similar to that of a typical restaurant. In addition to the main hall on the first floor, there were also private rooms upstairs. At this time, there weren't many customers dining in the main hall; there were only a few scattered tables.
Yue Jiuling chose a seat against the wall, then looked at the empty, clean table and said, "Hmm? Where's your menu?"
"Hehe~ This is your first time dining at our restaurant, right? We don't have a menu here because we only have one dish."
The waiter said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ya Zi raised an eyebrow and said, "Only one dish? Your restaurant is really something else~"
Yue Jiuling was also curious. She rested her chin on her hand and looked at the waiter, saying, "This is indeed our first time in this restaurant. We heard that the food here is delicious, so we wanted to try it. But your restaurant is quite interesting. There is only one dish in the entire restaurant. I wonder what it is?"
"Hehe~ Yes, that's what makes our restaurant special. We only have one dish, 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall,' and we only serve 100 tables a day. Once it's sold out, that's it."
Upon hearing the waiter's explanation, Yue Jiuling understood: "Oh, I see."
No wonder they only had one dish; it turned out to be 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall'.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a famous Chinese dish. It contains a variety of ingredients, including things that fly in the sky, swim in the water, run on the ground, and grow in the mountains. So if you only eat this dish, you really don't need to add any other dishes.
Ya Zi nodded and said, "Tsk~ No wonder there's only one dish. Okay, we understand. Go serve the food."
After watching the waiter take the order, Ya Zi asked Yue Jiuling, "How was it? Did you find anything?"
Yue Jiuling frowned as she looked at the demonic aura floating around the restaurant lobby and said, "It's alright, but it feels very oppressive. This guy doesn't know how to restrain himself. Luckily, we can hold on. If it were any other little demon, it would probably have been scared away long ago."
The hall was filled with demonic energy. In the eyes of Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi, the entire hall was shrouded in a grayish-white mist. This mist was demonic energy, and it was emitted by a powerful figure of great demonic level or above.
With this level of demonic energy, ordinary small demons would be scared away as soon as they get close to this place, and they wouldn't dare to come in and spend money here.
"Tsk~ This is clearly a way to drive away monsters, and the dishes are made to suit human tastes. I just don't know what the owner was thinking. Is it really okay to attract so much attention? Aren't they afraid of people from the metaphysical world investigating?"
Ya Zi said, sipping the tea the waiter had poured for them.
Yue Jiuling felt very oppressed. They had already concealed their aura when they came in, so they felt very uncomfortable facing such powerful demonic energy.
She said, "There don't seem to be many customers at this time. Shall we go for a walk?"
Ya Zi had the same idea. He stood up, stretched, and said, "Let's go then. It would be best if we could go to the kitchen. I want to see how they cook."
As the two talked, they began to wander around, while someone was secretly observing them from a private room on the second floor.
"Boss, those two people came yesterday, but the restaurant was full last night, so I didn't let them in. I didn't expect them to come again today."
A man dressed as a waiter was speaking to a man dressed in black.
If Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi saw this waiter here, they would definitely recognize him as the waiter who stopped them last night.
The man dressed in black robes looked at Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi on the first floor and said, "Hmm, I understand. They look like demons. I guess they're like the others before, trying to gather information from me. Go and see if you can keep them here."
"yes."
The waiter accepted the order and left.
Since its opening, this restaurant has attracted many monsters and people from the metaphysical world to investigate. However, not only have they not found any information, but many people who enter the restaurant never leave.
The reason they didn't leave was because the owner here was very 'greedy', so he kept them all here.
Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi quickly finished exploring the entire lobby and then decided to visit the restrooms or the kitchen. However, just as they were heading to the kitchen, a waiter came out carrying a plate of food. To make way for the waiter, Yue Jiuling accidentally bumped into the wall and almost fell.
