Pfft~

  The icy cold beer doused the spicy burning sensation instantly. The gentle and smooth texture had a tinge of bitterness which was weak yet soothing.

  Angela’s eyes lit up. The alcohol’s fragrance was similar to a flower’s, which was elegant and mild. The smooth bubble burst and made a soft sound.

  A bite of spicy crayfish followed by a big mouthful of chilled beer, this combination made Angela look more and more gratified. So scrumptious food could actually make eating an enjoyable affair.

  The rock troll family who was eating happily and Angela, who was indulging herself, soon attracted the demons who were gathered around them inside the yard, and it was soon filled with customers.

  Jane walked around the customers. Although everyone only ordered one crayfish at first, she was afraid to miss their orders.

  Of course, what surprised her the most was that the restaurant had really attracted a lot of customers on its opening day. This was totally beyond her expectation and imagination.

  Mag dished out the crayfish for the customers while preparing to cook the second batch of spicy crayfish.

  The customers’ warm response was a little beyond his expectation. The start-up was much smoother than he had imagined. The spicy and aromatic crayfish had brought him his first batch of customers with its aroma.

  As the yard was slowly filled up, more and more passers-by were attracted by them, and they would become his potential customers.

  Ivan’s family had finished all the three crayfish including their shells.

  Ivan picked up the bowl and took a sip of the spicy gravy. He allowed the spicy taste to run amok in his mouth before putting down the bowl and wiping his sweat away. Still feeling unsatisfied, he asked Gemina, “Dear, should we order another one?”


  “Yes, yes. I’m still not full yet,” Justin swiftly chimed in.

  Gemina was a little hesitant. After all, they obviously couldn’t be eating crayfish that cost 100 copper coins each every day.

  “Hey! Look, is my hand going to change its shell soon?” Ivan suddenly lifted his hand. Thin and fine white cracks started to appear on his grayish-white stone shell as if the latter was going to shatter soon.

  “Are you going to change your shell for the fourth time?” Gemina grasped Ivan’s hand with surprise on her face.

  “I didn’t have these when I woke up in the morning.” Ivan also couldn’t hide his excitement. After thinking for a brief moment, he pointed at the big empty bowl in front of him. “It gotta be this crayfish. The cracks only appeared after I ate the crayfish.”


  “I feel I could eat a few more crayfish so I could change my shell for the second time,” Justin added.

  Gemina pondered for a while. She, too, felt a warmth all over her body when she was eating that crayfish. Her shell felt itchy as if something was trying to come out from her body. Justin changed his shell after eating one whole crayfish yesterday, and Ivan was about to change his shell after eating one crayfish today. It seemed like this crayfish had a very immense beneficial effect on them, the rock trolls.

  “We will have three more crayfish,” Gemina said to Jane.

  “Sure. Please give us a moment.” Jane nodded. Mag was still cooking his second batch of crayfish.

  Angela also raised her hand, and indicated, “One more crayfish and another mug of beer, chilled, please.”


  She only now discovered her collar had opened up then. She rearranged her collar leisurely before looking at Mag with a completely different gaze.

  Angela curled her lips slightly, and then looked at Irina and Amy.

  The spicy crayfish shocked the taste buds of the island’s native demons. Together with the 30-plus Celsius degree heatwave, all the demons were struggling in between the scrumptiousness and spiciness.

  And right at that moment, an iced cold beer simply saved everything.

  The demons sat around the tables as they peeled away the shells and chowed down the meat with a mouthful of beer. Such a combination had surpassed all other delicacies.

  “Dear, you settle the bills first. I gotta go home to change my shell.” Ivan got up to walk out. Chips of mud casings had already begun to fall off his body. Cracks of all sizes covered his entire body as if he was going to shatter the very next moment.

  Gemina got up and discovered fine cracks were beginning to appear on her body. She passed six gold coins to Irina with a smile, and praised, “Mr. Hades’ culinary skill is simply astonishing and humbling.”


  “He will get cocky if you praise him like this.” Irina smiled as she accepted the gold coins.

  Gemina dragged Justin, who still wanted to have one more crayfish, home with her.

  The crayfish that cost 100 copper coins each and the beer that cost 50 copper coins a mug weren’t cheap. However, the demons who had them were subdued by that marvelous taste, and most of them were willing to pay the bills.

  “Five crayfish and 10 mugs of beer. The total is 10 gold coins.” Irina extended her hand toward the two-faced demon who was already drunk.

  “10 gold coins?” The two-faced demon, who had an ugly face at both the front and back of his head, stood up shakily. He looked at Irina with an evil gaze and smirked. “Lass, can you see what I’ve eaten? There’s nothing on this table. Where’s the proof that I have eaten anything? If I say I have eaten nothing, what can you do?”


  The demons who were eating began to look over at them. Many of them were prepared to watch a good show. If that could work, they wouldn’t mind dining and dashing using the same method. After all, that fellow with a pair of pincers on his head didn’t seem to be someone who could fight. However, his wife was so beautiful that it made them envious.

  Amy walked over and seriously said to that two-faced demon, “You will pay for your meal, or we will kill you.”


  “Ha. Get lost, imp.” The two-faced demon looked at Amy with disdain before saying to Irina with an evil gaze. “You want payment? Sure, let me have a good time, and I’ll give you the money.”


  Then, he started to reach for Irina’s bosom with his hands that were full of blood blisters.

  “Oh no!” Jane was shocked, and began to dash forward with the tray in her hands.

  The eyes of Angela, who was wiping her mouth, lit up. The chance to rescue the beauty had just presented itself. In this yard, apart from her, nobody could save this beauty at such a perilous time. They couldn’t be depending on that man who was still cooking the crayfish and pretending he hadn’t seen a single thing, right?

  “Stupid bastard,” Irina said coldly. A stool suddenly appeared in her hands as she slapped it across that two-faced demon’s head.

  That head with one black and one white face spun like a top for a dozen rounds. His short and thick neck was twisted into a braid, and lifted his fat body up into the sky as it spun.

  “Explode your reality, shatter your spirit. Exile this idiot who dines and dashes!” Amy lifted her hand up and threw out a ball of fire.

  Boom!

  The two-faced demon who was spinning up into the sky exploded into a dazzling firework. Nothing was left of him.

  “Why, oh why?” Mag sighed. What a courageous fellow.
