It's no exaggeration to say they ordered a lot of food.
After Shushu called over the waiter, he ordered at least three digits of each dish from the menu, and ordered over a thousand portions of the ones that Xiaochengxu thought were delicious.
The waiter's pupils widened and widened as he listened, until he stood there dumbfounded, his eyes glazed over. It was only when Shushu reminded him that he snapped out of his daze.
Then, the first thing he did after regaining his senses was to confirm the quantity with Shushu again. When he finally left with the magic crystals and storage bag he had received, his steps were unsteady.
Even the door to the private room was left open, and it was Yukisuke who closed it for him; his shock was palpable.
Because there were quite a few millet and sweet potato snacks, by the time she received the storage ring containing the food, the streetlights were already on full display.
The waiter's eyes when he saw them off were filled with joy, but also with fear and dread.
They were overjoyed by the large order, which brought them substantial rewards, but also filled with fear and apprehension.
I heard that all the chefs in the kitchen, including the waiters, had exhausted their magic in trying to get her to order the amount she wanted, and now the backyard is full of people lying on the ground.
Feeling a little guilty, just before stepping out of the restaurant, Shushu thought for a moment and then tossed a storage bag containing some magic crystals to the waiter as a tip.
Then, Shushu picked up the quilt and, together with Xuejie, flew away.
As the central city and largest city of the Azure Demon Realm, even at night, the bustling and vibrant city of the Demon Capital is no less vibrant than during the day, making it a true city that never sleeps.
After leaving the street where the restaurant was located, Shushu glanced at Chengxu in his arms, thought about its big appetite, and then thought about the people following behind him. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he had a little idea.
So, Shushu slammed on the brakes, halting his plan to go back. He turned around and headed straight for the bustling market, where he began browsing various food stalls and frantically stocking up on food.
Because the snacks were all inexpensive, even though I bought a lot of sweet potatoes along the way and visited almost every food stall, I didn't attract any covetous glances.
Those people would only glance at them at most, and would quickly look away and stop paying attention to them.
The person who initially kept an eye on them is still quite patient; even though Shushu has been wandering around non-stop for a long time, he shows no intention of leaving.
Shushu was impressed by the other person's patience, but then turned around and went into another restaurant nearby.
As usual, I ordered a private room, went through the menu again, told them to bring the food after dawn, closed the door, activated the security measures, took out a soft couch, and started to fall fast asleep.
When he woke up at dawn, Shushu grabbed his food and went out for another shopping trip.
The next thing that happened was that when Shushu got tired of walking around, he would find a restaurant, book a private room, and sleep. After sleeping well, he would get up and continue walking around, repeating this cycle. His main characteristic was that he was never home.
After staying outside for several days, as his storage ring became more and more full, Shushu clearly felt that the person behind him was starting to relax, and even briefly left several times in the middle of the trip.
That day, when Chengxu told Shushu again that the person who was keeping watch had left again.
Shushu quickly found a secluded spot, put Xuejie into his spatial storage, and then had Chengxu take him along, disappearing into the shadows.
Despite its young age and small size, Chengxu is quite capable. It carried the millet and potatoes at a brisk pace without being noticed by the person in front of it.
Only after watching the other party wander through many twists and turns and arrive at a courtyard with complete protective barriers did the two stop following.
Instead, he found a secluded corner and quickly applied several more invisibility and stealth talismans from the Demon Realm to his body before continuing to stare at the door, hoping to discover something.
Good fortune seems to favor the gluttons, for they didn't have to wait long before three cautious figures approached from the alleyway entrance.
It wasn't until the people walked in that Shushu could see clearly that it was a group of two women and one man. The woman in the lead, who looked like the master, was someone Shushu didn't recognize.
But Shushu recognized the man and woman following behind her; they were the same two people who had collected Qu Ruxue's body in the Wodao Forest.
Shushu even noticed that the strange woman at the front was wearing a string of beads on her right wrist.
If Shushu remembers correctly, this bracelet and the one Qu Ruxue is wearing seem to be the same one.
Shushu had a gut feeling that there was something wrong with the bracelet, so he made a note of it, but he didn't plan to do anything about it at the moment.
Watching the three enter the courtyard, Shushu didn't move, continuing to hold his breath and guard the spot.
A moment later, noises came from the street again; a discreet beast-drawn carriage was slowly approaching.
Perhaps because the area in front of the courtyard gate was not large, or for other reasons, the beast-drawn carriage did not come all the way over, but stopped about a hundred paces away from the gate.
The beast-drawn carriage came to a stop, and a girl dressed in a light pink outfit quickly stepped out.
The girl didn't look very old, had a good figure, and her face bore a resemblance to Hei Wanran.
As Shushu looked at that face, he frantically tried to recall all the members of the Hei family in his mind.
Before long, she guessed the man's identity. If she was not mistaken, this man should be Hei Wanran's uncle, Hei Manhe's daughter, Hei Youran.
Like Hei Manbo, Hei Manhe is one of the more popular candidates to become the young master of the Hei family.
Overall, Hei Manbo is slightly better, because he is much better than Hei Manhe in terms of aptitude, cultivation, interpersonal skills, children and descendants.
In other words, as long as Hei Manbo doesn't make any major mistakes, his chances of taking over are far greater than Hei Manhe's.
Therefore, it is not surprising at all that Hei Youran would join forces with the Qu family to try to drag him down for the sake of power.
When recalling her inquiry about the origin of the red hairband, Hei Wanran said that she had overheard her sisters in the clan chatting and saying that the shop was good, which is why she went there.
Hei Youran and she are sisters from the same clan, so it wouldn't be difficult for them to accomplish this.
With a suspect identified, the next step for Shushu was to investigate whether Hei Youran simply wanted to suppress Hei Manbo's family and take power, or whether she was also involved in the struggle for destiny.
Watching Hei Youran walk into the courtyard with practiced ease, Shushu felt that the latter was more likely.
But since he was currently a novice who couldn't use spiritual power, Shushu didn't make things difficult for him. Without any hesitation, she asked Chengxu to help contact Chengying and also sent her findings and speculations.
Cheng Ying arrived very quickly; almost within moments of the message being sent, Cheng Ying appeared beside her.
