After hearing the introduction, Xiaobaicai followed Qiongqi to the private room on the second floor, completely bewildered. Little did he know that after they went up, all the monster guests dining in the restaurant instantly ran away. They all seemed to have seen something terrifying and fled!

Of course, since most of the monsters already knew about the restaurant's background, no one dared to skip out on the bill; they did pay when they ran away.

As Xiao Hui collected the money, his hands trembled slightly. He looked up at the private room upstairs with fear, then silently continued tidying up the table.

As Xiaobaicai followed them into the private room, she saw a gilded food cart being pushed inside. Two pale-faced chefs were serving dishes, and after serving them, they immediately ran away, as if they had seen some kind of monster.

Xiao Baicai originally wanted them to order some more dishes because he knew his girlfriend always had a big appetite. However, seeing that the chef had run away, he could only say to his girlfriend and her friends, "Well, you guys eat first, I'll go get you some more dishes."

Qiongqi originally wanted to say that there was no need to add more, but when he saw the dishes on the table, he felt that there really wasn't enough to eat, so he could only nod and say, "Alright, don't serve it yourself, let them serve it. Those dishes are so heavy, it will be tiring for you to carry them."

"Tsk tsk, I never thought you, an old man, would become so caring. How strange!"

Before Xiaobaicai could reply to Qiongqi's words, she overheard someone next to her teasing her partner. So, Xiaobaicai could only blush, nod, and leave the private room.

The person who spoke was none other than Qiongqi's good friend, the 'Glutton.' Seeing Little Cabbage leave, the Glutton grinned and teased Qiongqi, saying, "I never thought you'd set your sights on someone like this. I thought it would be some little vixen who could seduce an old man like you, but it turns out to be a vegetable spirit!"

"Tsk, are you jealous? Our little cabbage is so cute, you're just jealous and envious, aren't you?"

Qiongqi poured himself a drink and said, "But you're all getting on in years, it's time to find a companion."

"Hehe, we haven't met the right one yet. We just didn't expect you to go into seclusion for so long because of her. If you hadn't shown yourself, we would have all thought you were dead~"

The man called "Confused Ghost" said with a smile, "But it's good to see you alive."

"That's right. If you hadn't come out on your own, we really wouldn't have known if you were dead or alive. I was thinking before that you old thing shouldn't die so easily. We're all alive and well, so how could you die? Turns out you secretly found a partner~ But seriously, is love really that magical? It can actually change you so much."

Listening to his old friends' teasing, Qiongqi just smiled and shook his head, saying, "Those of you who don't have partners can't understand my thoughts. When you fall in love with someone, your mind is filled with them. No matter what conditions they ask for, you might even be willing to give them your life. You don't know how much pain I felt when he was about to be reincarnated, but fortunately, I found him this time."

"Tsk tsk, who would have thought that the ferocious beast of yesteryear would become a love saint? It's incredible. But this is good too, as long as you're not dead, it's not bad at all."

The man called 'Fierce Ghost' looked at Qiongqi and said, "But are you planning to stay in the human realm forever? I've heard that things seem to be getting a bit turbulent there lately. Their metaphysical circles and stuff are starting to fall apart..."

"Confused Ghost" also said, "Yeah, I don't really like the human world anymore. It used to be okay, but now it's so noisy and I hate it."

"Why don't you go back? I don't know what kind of chaos will ensue in the human realm. I'm too lazy to watch."

The 'glutton' also said

After listening to his old friends, Qiongqi frowned and said, "Is the Demon Realm causing trouble again? Tsk, why didn't those old fogies from the God Realm deal with the Demon Realm back then?"
