Yue Jiuling also said, "Well, actually I was thinking of inviting you guys to eat together sometime when we have time, but I don't know if you can handle the demonic aura in that restaurant."

The thought of that demonic aura made Yue Jiuling frown, but since they had stayed inside for so long without finding anything, they had no choice but to give up.

Little Cabbage, his mouth full of crumbs from eating several small cakes, wiped his mouth and said, "'Shi Ren' (食仁), that's a really strange name. Do you think there might be some kind of conspiracy behind this restaurant? Otherwise, why would it emit such a strange, eerie aura?"

Ya Zi shook her head and said, "I don't know. Why don't you go and check it out next time? Anyway, Jiu Ling and I didn't find anything when we went."

"Emmm, okay."

City C, the Jiang family.

After the monster's head exploded that night and the crows came back to life, nothing much happened for the next few days; it was as if the group that came to cause trouble had vanished.

The weather was perfect today. Yue Jiu Nian sat in the garden pavilion watching TV, while Yue Jiu Zai climbed up to the roof to sunbathe.

"Hey~ Jiu Nian, do you want to come up and soak up some sun? The morning sun is so nice~"

Yue Jiuzai lay on the roof and shouted to the people below.

Yue Jiu Nian squinted and looked up at her, then directly refused: "No, are you crazy? Why would you want to sunbathe in the middle of summer? It's not like it's winter and you're afraid of the cold."

Upon hearing this, Yue Jiuzai rolled over and continued sunbathing, lazily saying, "Sunbathing is good in summer, it kills germs. Besides, your skin is so thick, what are you afraid of?"

"Tsk~ I think you're stupid," Yue Jiu Nian continued to refuse, "We're wearing 'leather' now. Do you think it's like before, where you weren't afraid of getting sunburned? What if this leather gets damaged?"

As she spoke, she picked up an ice pop and a cold drink from the side and said, "At this time, we should take good care of ourselves, otherwise this 'skin' won't last long."

"Well, what you said makes a lot of sense. Okay, I won't sunbathe anymore."

Yue Jiuzai jumped off the roof and ran to Yue Jiunian's side, saying, "By the way, it's been several days now, those people shouldn't be coming again, right?"

"I don't know, but the things they do are so childish, they always lose, maybe they really won't dare to come anymore~"

Yue Jiuzai took the popsicle from Yue Jiunian's hand and took a bite: "Mmm~ Delicious, so refreshing and cool~" She said with a satisfied look on her face as she bit into the popsicle: "So when are we going back to Jiuling? Should we call the Jiang family back first?"

Yue Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Let's not rush. Let's wait a few more days. If those things don't reappear, then let's go back."

"Okay, then."

Just as they were chatting, Yue Jiunian's phone suddenly rang. It was Mr. Jiang calling. In fact, Mr. Jiang had been calling back to inquire about the situation for the past few days, so Yue Jiunian had gotten used to his calls.

"Hey, Daddy."

After Yue Jiu Nian answered the phone, she heard Jiang's father's voice: "Hello, is this Niannian? How is the situation at home today? Was there any problem last night?"

Yue Jiu Nian said while biting into her iced drink, "Oh, nothing happened last night, and nothing happened today either. Don't worry, everything is fine at home."

"Oh, that's good. When can we go back? Can we go back if everything is fine for the next couple of days?"

Upon hearing this question, Yue Jiu Nian said, "Emm, I think you should come back in a couple of days."

Jiang Hu guessed that he was getting bored staying in the hotel all day and couldn't go out, so he wanted to go home. But when he heard Yue Jiu say that it wasn't possible yet, he could only say, "Okay then, I'll wait a few more days~ Ugh, I'm just so bored, staying in the hotel all day and not going out is so tedious~"

"Haha~ Dad, just bear with it a little longer~ Just a few more days. Remember, don't run around outside unless you have to~ Be careful, or you'll get caught."

After giving Jiang Hu a few instructions, Yue Jiu Nian chatted for a few more minutes and then hung up. She said to Yue Jiu Zai with a bit of helplessness, "Sigh, actually I don't want to be here anymore, it's too boring."

"You bet they did! They only came and caused trouble all night, and then they never showed up again. If you hadn't been calling your dad every day, I would have thought they had already discovered the body double!"

After Yue Jiuzai finished speaking, she got up and said, "Let's go, I'm hungry. Do you want me to cook or order takeout?"

Yue Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Let's cook. Ordering takeout isn't a good idea. There are only two of us, and it would be troublesome if they found out that we don't eat the right amount."

After hearing this, Yue Jiuzai said, "Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen and see what ingredients we have."

Because they haven't been eating regular meals these past few days, mostly snacking or not eating at all, there's still plenty of food left in the kitchen.

Yue Jiu quickly prepared several dishes in the kitchen, and then the two of them enjoyed a pleasant lunch.

That evening in City C, inside the eerie restaurant called "Shi Ren," several women in white chef's uniforms were diligently simmering soup in the kitchen. Within the bubbling, thick broth, several enormous bones could be vaguely seen, and those bones looked somewhat human...

Upstairs, in the same private room on the second floor, the only difference this time was that the owner wasn't there; instead, there was only a strange-looking monster.

The monster had a large head and mouth, and a large body, about the size of an adult elephant. It had two horns on its head and huge tusks in its mouth.
