Yue Jiuling led Ya Zi toward the food street. She said, "Originally, I wasn't planning to go back, but then I remembered what Qingcheng had said about those great monsters that had escaped, so I wanted to go back and take a look. I also want you to help me check on the forbidden area."

"Oh, I see."

After listening, Ya Zi understood what Yue Jiu Ling meant; she wanted to go to the demon realm to see that forbidden area herself.

"No problem, then we'll just pack it up and take it over to eat."

As Ya Zi walked, he nodded and said, "But just because those big demons are missing doesn't mean they'll come to the human realm. Otherwise, something would have happened there already. Besides, there are still some demons hiding in the human realm. I don't think the demon realm would let demons come and steal their things."

"What you said makes sense, but we still need to be careful."

Yue Jiuling had already arrived at the octopus boss's barbecue restaurant. She first ordered a lot of food, and then took out her phone to pay the bill: "This meal is on me. I told you to go back and find out the news. I promised to treat you to a meal."

"Well, it's nothing, actually. I didn't find out much for you anyway."

Ya Zi, who originally wanted to pay the bill, was stopped by Yue Jiuling, who said with a smile, "How about this, you treat this time, and I'll treat you next time."

"Okay, then let's do it next time."

After paying, Yue Jiuling waited for the octopus owner to grill her food. She said to the octopus owner, "Boss, please hurry up and add more spice. We want to take it to go."

"Okay, I understand," the octopus boss said, busily grilling food for everyone. Seeing Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi, he smiled ingratiatingly and said, "It's been a while since you two have been here. Business is good today, so I'll give you two extra chicken legs~"

"Hey, you're pretty quick to understand!"

Ya Zi smiled and said, "Then thank you very much."

Because the octopus owner's grill was quite large, it could grill a lot of things at once, so the ingredients Yue Jiuling ordered were grilled very quickly.

"Alright, here you go. Enjoy your meal, and come visit again anytime!"

Ya Zi, carrying the barbecue, walked with Yue Jiu Ling to a secluded corner, then tore open a passage leading to the demon realm and traveled back to the demon realm.

When Yue Jiuling arrived in the Demon Realm, she went straight to the palace of the Demon King Qingcheng, just like before. However, the Demon King was not in the kitchen as last time, but was working in his study.

"Oh, what rare guests, you two!"

Upon seeing Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi, they immediately pushed open the door and entered the study. The guards standing outside did not stop them until they heard the Demon King's voice, at which point the guards remembered to pour tea for the guests.

Yue Jiuling had Ya Zi place the barbecue they brought on the table and said, "Here, have some barbecue. By the way, how have you been lately?"

"That's fine," Qingcheng said, opening the takeout box. "But what are you two doing here? You even brought me food."

"Please have some tea."

Seeing that the Demon King was already eating barbecue, the guard who had brought in tea quickly put down his teacup and left.

"Tsk, can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"

Yue Jiuling also picked up a chicken leg and started eating it. She looked up at Qingcheng and said, "We want to go to the forbidden area. Are you available now?"

What are you doing in the forbidden area?

Qingcheng, munching on a chicken leg, said, "There are so many monsters there, and the atmosphere is chaotic. You'd better not go."

Ya Zi was also eating a chicken leg when he asked, "Demon King, have you caught those escaped monsters yet?"

"Well, actually, it doesn't exist yet, but you guys don't need to go anyway, the forbidden area is really no fun."

Qingcheng was actually worried about Yue Jiuling, but Yue Jiuling just laughed and said, "Qingcheng, who do you take me for? I'm Yue Jiuling! Would I be afraid of the monsters in the forbidden area?"

"Hmm, that seems to be true..."

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng chuckled and said, "Alright, I was just overthinking it. I'd forgotten who you all are."

"So, can we go to the forbidden area now?"

Ya Zi smiled and said, "We just wanted to go and take a look."

"Alright, since you want to go, then go ahead."

Qingcheng no longer stopped them from going to the forbidden area, but she still reminded them, "I won't try to dissuade you if you want to go, but the forbidden area is never a good place, so you should be careful."

"Of course, I'll take care of it."

After finishing a chicken leg, Yue Jiuling wiped her mouth and said, "Hey, by the way, where's our Lord Hongyan? Where did he go?"
