"Does the flavor suit you, sir?"
The young girl had the unique charm of a seaside fishing village—simple yet lovely, like a sky full of stars. The food before him smelled wonderful as well, and Mo Mo, whose stomach had been growling for ages, couldn't help swallowing.
"Thank you." Mo Mo nodded. Although he was hungry, he didn't wolf the food down. Instead, he casually ate a few bites first. "It tastes very good. Did you make all of it yourself?"
The young girl nodded with a smile, somewhat shy... She was at the flower of seventeen or eighteen.
She seemed to remember something and hurriedly added, "By the way, I washed your clothes this morning and hung them outside. Once they're dry this afternoon, I'll bring them back in for you."
"I'm really sorry." Mo Mo said apologetically, "The weather was clearly fine when I arrived yesterday, but it started pouring not long after I got off the bus."
The young girl tucked back a strand of hair by her ear and told Mo Mo that this kind of weather was very common by the sea.
She didn't continue disturbing Mo Mo while he ate. Instead, she began tidying up this family-run inn. Mo Mo made some inquiries and learned that the young girl was named Lu Yiyun, her father was Lu Hai, and her mother was Luo Aiyu. They also had a sick grandfather.
A very ordinary fishing-village family... At least, that was how it appeared.
After the young girl, Lu Yiyun, left, Mo Mo spat out the food he had just eaten. He deftly pulled a talisman from his body and held it between his fingers.
The talisman instantly caught fire, then transformed into a streak of spiritual light that scattered over the food on the table.
