My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 460: Chapter 320: Even a Ferocious Tiger Does Not Eat Its Cubs

"Not releasing his son’s soul? What does that mean?" Chen Ze was a bit confused. After all, although the hanging ghost looked scary, Chen Ze had seen quite a few customers, so he remained fairly calm.

But no matter how he looked, he did not seem to have another ghost inside his body. Moreover, that was his son. Why would his son’s soul be inside him?

"This guy lived in an unnamed Yinsha Land, and he was cruel and a heavy gambler. Yesterday, in a state of mental confusion, he killed his son and ate all the flesh," Xie BiAn explained in detail, causing Betty to continually size up this perverted criminal.

"Then he committed suicide, and his son’s soul was trapped inside his stomach. His soul absorbed all the nefarious energy from the Yinsha Land. If he is not willing, we can’t take his son’s soul out," Xie BiAn finished, biting each word. In fact, if it were not because this fellow had become a malevolent spirit, he would have already been taken down to the Underworld, to climb the mountain of knives or plunge into the sea of fire.

"Ptui!" Betty spat at the hanging ghost and then handed two cups of ice-cold lemonade to Black and White Impermanence.

The hanging ghost paid no attention to Betty. His gaze was cold as he looked at Chen Ze, and a black liquid kept dripping from his tongue onto the floor, turning into a mist before seeping back into the man’s body.

Chen Ze frowned as he looked at the scum before him. This fellow no longer deserved to be called human. People say even tigers do not eat their young, yet this man ate his own son and now refused to release his son’s soul. He was the utter epitome of human scum.

"He still wants to eat?" Chen Ze scoffed disdainfully, although he was a chef and was not very picky about his customers, he did not want to cook for such scum.

"Yes, I want to eat... otherwise... he will die..." the hanging ghost’s tongue slithered around, then a face of a little boy appeared on his belly, screaming in agony.

Fan Wujiu’s face darkened even further. If it weren’t for the fact that attacking this scum would make him torment his son even more viciously, Fan Wujiu would have definitely struck him down, maybe played a tune on the lute to express his resentment?

"Heh, young man, you know nothing of real power," Chen Ze chuckled. His Magic Circle was like the ultimate cheat code, though it was unclear if it came with the System or if the restaurant already had it.

But that did not prevent Chen Ze from using the Magic Circle to help solve some problems.

Chen Ze activated the Magic Circle, and immediately a purple light ring bound the hanging ghost. Then Chen Ze sensed another soul inside the man’s stomach.

Compared to the hanging ghost’s pitch-black soul, this soul was white with a tinge of purple.

"What’s purple?" Chen Ze asked Xie BiAn curiously.

Meanwhile, he did not stop working. Chen Ze controlled the Magic Circle, cutting open the hanging ghost’s stomach to release the boy inside.

"...Purple...purple represents terror and panic..." Xie BiAn watched the scene unfold, feeling quite surprised. He truly had not expected the Honored One to be able to take out the child so easily.

"I see, anyway, now that I’ve taken him out, I’ll leave this fellow to you. Do you want something to eat?" Chen Ze glanced at the little boy, barely able to bear the sight. free𝑤ebnovel.com

The boy’s body was all cracked, covered in a mass of bite marks.

"Thank you, Honored One, but we won’t eat. This little guy needs to enter the cycle of reincarnation as soon as possible." Xie BiAn rubbed the little boy’s head. Seemingly recognizing Xie BiAn’s role, the purple color dissipated a lot from the little boy’s body.

Fan Wujiu laughed, and it was the first time Chen Ze had seen him smile. But the smile was not heartwarming at all; instead, it was chilling to the bone.

"Sorry, I have something to do." Fan Wujiu was still so indifferent, but he practically dragged the hanging ghost out in a rush.

"Sorry, Honored One, my brother... is a bit impatient," Xie BiAn could not pretend not to see it, so he still explained to Chen Ze.

"It’s all right, you guys go ahead." Chen Ze smiled and didn’t mind.

If it were him, he might have been even more eager.

After sending Xie BiAn and Fan Wujiu away, Chen Ze returned to the kitchen and continued with the preparations.

"Manager, why are some people so malicious?" Betty was still a bit indignant.

"There aren’t that many whys. There are always people who can easily do bad things you never thought of." Chen Ze sliced through with a knife, spread the chicken’s rump, and scooped out the entrails from inside.

Chen Ze had once wanted to be a Guardian of Justice, but later he realized that it was really difficult, so he admired those Guardians of Justice immensely.

Without these people bravely stepping forward, the world might be an even worse place, no wonder someone said the song of humanity is the song of courage.

"Darling, I’m back." The door was pushed open, and Lafra walked in.

She hopped in joyfully and then jumped into Chen Ze’s arms, while Betty tactfully continued with the cleaning.

"Hmm? A whiff of malice, what happened just now?" Lafra sniffed, her cute little nose twitching twice.

"There was a scumbag who came in, Lafra, want something to eat?" Chen Ze said with a smile, looking at his girlfriend.

"I want to eat what you cook, anything is fine." Lafra snuggled up to Chen Ze.

"All right." Chen Ze nodded and began making paper-wrapped fried chicken, the second lost dish he had mastered so far.

"I brought some alcohol~" Lafra proclaimed proudly, pulling out several bottles of alcohol from her bosom and placing them on the counter.

Chen Ze shuddered, remembering the alcohol Lafra brought, which could easily knock out a Dragon—although not as fierce as Sorrow Sake, still very terrifying.

Chen Ze turned around and then saw several bottles of liquor with different colors.

"What are these?" Chen Ze was somewhat perplexed.

"I bought these at the biggest commerce guild in the negative plane, they are all quite famous alcohols, and I have a ring too!" Lafra shook her tender white hand proudly, her face screaming for compliments.

"Lafra is amazing, but do you know how to mix drinks?" Chen Ze asked in doubt.

"Eh? This... that... I..." Lafra suddenly became flustered, her explanation in disarray.

Chen Ze understood at once—Lafra definitely didn’t know how to mix drinks.

"I... I will definitely learn, just wait for me!" Lafra said with flushed cheeks, dashing out so quickly that Chen Ze had no chance to stop her.

"I... I just wanted to ask if she wanted to go watch a movie together..." Chen Ze wanted to cry without tears—had he somehow sabotaged himself again?
