Without the Dragon Balls, he's just a little snake; where can he run?
The big black dragon was filled with regret.

“My name is Xu Milu. You can call me Boss or Madam Xu from now on. The rules here are very simple: do your job well every day, and you can do whatever you want in the rest of the time—provided that you don’t hurt or harm anyone without cause. Food and lodging are provided, and the monthly wage is ten taels of silver.”
Xu Milu held a calligraphy brush and wrote today's menu on a bamboo sign, but she was dissatisfied with the crooked and messy handwriting no matter how she looked at it.
"What did you just say your name was again?"
"I am nicknamed 'Great General of Might and Magic'. I was born in the Dongting area. My father is the Dragon King of the East Sea, and my mother is a thousand-year-old clam spirit. Since my true form is a black dragon, Madam Xu may call me 'Mo Xuan'."
Mo Xuan said cautiously.
"Did the Great Sage eat any people before he captured you?"
Xu Milu raised an eyebrow and threatened him, "Don't try to fool me. I have my own ways of investigating you. If you tell even half a lie, I'll crush your dragon ball and turn you into a shameless mudfish!"
Mo Xuan quickly explained, "Madam Xu, you're innocent! This little demon is truly a first-time offender. I only heard that eating young boys and girls can increase spiritual power, so this little demon was confused for a moment—I would never dare to lie!"
"I doubt you'd dare lie to the Great Sage. Can you write? I'll tell you, and you can write."
Although Xu Milu didn't understand Mo Xuan, she believed that since Sun Wukong was willing to spare his life, there must be some reason for it.
"Yes, I spent a few years in the human world and learned some characters."
Mo Xuan obediently took the brush and wrote the dish names stroke by stroke:
Today's dishes:
Peony-flavored raw fish
Five-color cold noodles
【Cold Radish Salad】
Braised Beef Offal with Baby Radish
Spicy Braised Pig Trotters
Mo Xuan was writing diligently when he looked up and asked, "Madam Xu, why didn't you write down this price?"
Nowadays, restaurants often display similar bamboo signs with prices clearly marked, but Xu Mi Lu's Mountain and Sea Restaurant does not have fixed prices.
"I accept whatever the customers have, and I set the price based on my mood."
Xu Milu patted his shoulder: "Today is your first day on the job. Go to the entrance of Huasheng Temple and attract some customers."
Mo Xuan glanced at the sky outside; it was already dusk. He couldn't help but say:
"There are more ghosts than people in front of Huasheng Temple right now. Am I supposed to recruit ghosts?"
Xu Milu shook the dragon ball in her hand.
"I'll go right away. Madam Xu, you just need to rest now. I'll take care of running errands, calling out customers, and attracting customers!"
Mo Xuan's smile was incredibly fawning.
