"These are river snails, which can only be found in places with plenty of sunshine and clean water. The largest ones are no bigger than a finger. The meat is crisp and has an extremely delicious flavor. It doesn't taste muddy or bitter, so it's considered a delicacy from the sea. I'll put up a sign for 'Extra Spicy Stir-fried River Snails with Perilla' in a bit."
Mo Xuan licked his lips, seemingly already looking forward to the staff dinner that evening. Xu Milu suddenly remembered something and asked him:
"I heard from the Great Sage that the Dragon King of the West Sea is going to hold a birthday banquet. If I remember correctly, the Dragon King of the West Sea should be your uncle. Do you want to go back?"
Mo Xuan frowned upon hearing this and bluntly exposed the Dragon Clan's secrets:
"We dragons love a lively atmosphere. Not to mention birthdays, we hold banquets for every little thing, especially my uncle. Three months ago, his son, Prince Moang, held a full moon celebration for his dragon daughter. Last month, he took a beautiful mermaid concubine and threw another big party. And at the beginning of this month, the Antarctic Immortal gave him a pot of Eight Treasures Abundant Gold and Jade Ruyi, and he held some kind of 'Appreciation Conference'..."
As Mo Xuan counted, he complained, "It's not as peaceful as my Dongting Lake."
Goodness, Xu Milu really didn't expect that the dragons, who were so majestic and domineering in mythology, were so down-to-earth. Isn't this just like how they love to post on social media?
Despite her complaints, Xu Milu had never been to the underwater dragon palace before, and she was still somewhat looking forward to it. She waved her hand and said:
"The Great Sage is going to a banquet in a couple of days, and I'm going too. Would you like to come along?"
Upon hearing the name Sun Wukong, Mo Xuan wished he could disappear into the ground.
"No, no need, how could I trouble the Great Sage?"
After saying that, he took off running as if afraid of being stopped.
Xu Milu: "..."
It seems that the blow from Monkey King's staff back then really left this guy with a lot of psychological trauma.
...
...
Perhaps because the Mountain and Sea Restaurant has gained a good reputation among ghosts in recent days, more people are dining there in the evenings. There are even mountain spirits and monsters with human heads coming to visit, each with a strange and frightening appearance.
"Young lady~ Young lady~"
A soft call, like the feeble groan of a dying person, startled Xu Milu when she looked up.
One was a tall, thin man with a smiling face, pale complexion, and a sinister look. His bright red tongue was sticking out of his mouth. He was dressed in a white official robe, and his tall hat had the four characters "Seeing him brings wealth" written on it. He was holding a mourning stick in his hand.
The other man was broad and stout, short with a dark face and a fierce expression. He was also dressed in mourning clothes, but in pure black. His official hat had the words "Peace Under Heaven" written on it. He held two large iron chains in his hands, which frightened the wandering ghosts in the shop so much that they scattered in all directions.
It turns out they are Black and White Impermanence, who are frequent underworld messengers in Journey to the West.
That shout just now was made by Bai Wuchang.
Xu Milu wasn't afraid. Firstly, she wasn't from this place, and her name might not even be on the Book of Life and Death. Secondly, she hadn't done anything wrong, so she naturally wasn't afraid of ghosts knocking at her door in the middle of the night.
"So it's Seventh Master and Eighth Master. Would you two like something to eat?"
Xu Milu greeted her with a smile.
