Another dish appeared. With the "experience" of the recipe, Tang Xinyan didn't have much of a feeling about this tray. It should just be a spatial magic artifact with restrictions set.

The waiter placed the dishes one by one on the table, then collected the tray and respectfully said:

"All the dishes are served. Please enjoy your meal. By the way, there is no time limit for using this private room. If you would like to have tea this afternoon, please feel free to call me."

After the waiter left, Tang Xinyan placed the steamed egg custard and minced meat she had ordered in front of Xiaobao. Xiaobao lowered his head, took a bite, and his eyes lit up as he praised:

"Sister, this tastes really good, much better than spirit fruit."

Tang Xinyan was speechless:

"You've been eating too much white flour steamed buns. If I switch you to cornbread, I don't know what's too much or too little."

Xiao Bao only half understood what Tang Xinyan was saying, but seeing that it was just a casual remark, he didn't take it to heart and started focusing on eating.

Seeing Xiao Bao eating so heartily, Tang Xinyan couldn't help but feel excited too. She picked up a piece of meat and tasted it. Well, it tasted pretty good.

She could taste that the chef had added quite a few spiritual plants to adjust the flavor; however, compared to the spices and seasonings of later generations,

It still lacked a certain "hometown" flavor; one could only describe it as having a very unique taste. Seeing that Tang Xinyan didn't show much surprise on her face...

Lu Chuan'an dipped the skinned octopus meat in the sauce on the plate and put it into Tang Xinyan's bowl, suggesting:

"Yan Yan, try this."

When Tang Xinyan was looking at the recipe, she thought the octopus looked a lot like a crab. She picked up a leg and tasted it, and her eyes lit up immediately.

It's not that the dish is delicious, but the taste is just like crab, and seafood is her favorite.

Seeing that Tang Xinyan liked it, Lu Chuan'an peeled off the remaining meat from the legs and opened the shell on the octopus's back.

He carefully separated the meat and roe from the plate, then handed it to Tang Xinyan, making her quite embarrassed. She quickly said:

"Second brother, you should eat too, don't just eat for me."

Lu Chuan'an picked up another one and said with a smile:

"I've been eating these things from the demon race since I was a child, so they're nothing new to me. I just wanted you to try them."

Besides, I'm not an outsider; I've taken care of you since you were little. Your formality makes us seem distant, doesn't it?

Now that things had come to this point, Tang Xinyan felt that if she continued to be coy, it would be pretentious, so she simply accepted the food without hesitation.

Although she didn't devour the food, Tang Xinyan still ate quite a bit, including three of the eight-clawed beasts. Fortunately, although they looked big, they didn't actually have much meat.

Seeing Tang Xinyan put down her chopsticks and touch her belly, Lu Chuan'an felt somewhat helpless:

"Want to go out for a walk to digest your food?"

Tang Xinyan was too full to move at the moment, so she shook her head and suggested:

"Let's call the waiter over, order some tea, and have a chat. I'd like to learn more about the demon race so I don't inadvertently break the rules."

Lu Chuan'an didn't try to take on too much responsibility; instead, he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, it's good for you to know more. As the saying goes, it's better to rely on yourself than on anyone else."

As she spoke, Tang Xinyan pressed a button on the table, then slumped onto the low couch and joked:

"Second Brother, that's not right with your lines. Shouldn't you say, 'Don't worry, in the demon race, even if you tear the sky down, Second Brother can fix it for you?'"

Lu Chuan'an was speechless:

"You overestimate your second brother."

Just then, there was another knock on the door of the private room. When the door opened, the waiter greeted everyone with a smile:

"What can I do for you, gentlemen?"

Lu Chuan'an said directly, "Bring me a pot of fragrant leaf tea."

Upon hearing Lu Chuan'an's suggestion to order tea, the waiter smiled even more broadly and quickly said:

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go prepare it right away."

He glanced at the dining table and asked for instructions:

"Sir, would you like this table cleaned?"

Lu Chuan'an nodded slightly. Seeing this, the waiter beckoned to the people who had followed him and whispered:

"Go and clear the table. Be careful when you do it, so as not to disturb the guests."

The man behind him hurriedly replied "Yes," then respectfully entered the private room and quietly tidied the table. When he finished and was about to leave,

The waiter came in with the tea. Seeing the table was clean, he nodded with satisfaction to the person, then placed the tea on the table and said with a smile:

"Please enjoy your meal. Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."

After the waiter left, Tang Xinyan looked at Lu Chuan'an and sighed:

"Second brother, this service is simply amazing. If I couldn't tell that he genuinely didn't recognize you, I would have suspected that he knew who you were."

Lu Chuan sat down opposite Tang Xinyan, feeling slightly emotional:

"It must be due to those five spirit stones you gave me. This Green Grass Town is considered a relatively remote town for the demon race, and the demons living here..."

They're generally not very wealthy, but fortunately there's a teleportation array here, which allows the demons in this town to have some extra income.

Tang Xinyan didn't know how to offer advice on such a major issue concerning people's livelihood, so she simply changed the subject:

"By the way, Second Brother, since this is my first visit, I can't come empty-handed. What kind of spiritual roots do Uncle and Aunt have? I'd like to see if there's anything suitable for them as a gift."

Lu Chuan'an handed the tea to Tang Xinyan, his face full of disapproval:

"You were just saying not to be so formal, but now you're being so polite."

Tang Xinyan immediately retorted:

"Second brother, this is not a matter of being polite, but a matter of etiquette. I am a junior, and when I visit an elder, I cannot come empty-handed. Even if I bring a piece of fruit, it is a token of my appreciation."

Lu Chuan'an was speechless, and joked:

"Come on, most people wouldn't dare to accept your fruit."

These words reminded Tang Xinyan of the "what are you talking about?" expression Xiao Yimo had when she gave him fruit before leaving.

He chuckled sheepishly and then resorted to shamelessness:

"Second brother, if you don't tell me, I'm not going with you. I'm not going to come empty-handed."

Lu Chuan'an raised an eyebrow: "If you're not coming with me, where are you going?"

Tang Xinyan glanced at the obediently lying baby and casually said:

"Before I came to Spirit Fox Town, I carefully sorted out the things the fox clan gave me last time. Among them was an access token, which should be for entering and leaving Spirit Fox Town."

Lu Chuan'an flicked his finger and tapped Tang Xinyan's forehead, saying irritably:

"Fine, you've really grown up, you've even learned to threaten people. I'll tell you, but you have to tell me what you want to give me first."

Lu Chuan'an was genuinely afraid that this girl might pull out something overly rare. Although his parents were absolutely reliable, the Demon Palace was full of suspicious and intriguing people.

Tang Xinyan was well aware of Lu Chuan'an's worries, and she smiled reassuringly:

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not stupid. If it were something really expensive, I definitely wouldn't give it; I'd just give it directly and casually."
