    Zhuang Yuelian went in through the door that Luo Kun came out of, and returned to the hall where the door was first entered. There was a door on the other side with bright lights.

    Luo Kun ran to the front to lead the way and said, "Brother, hurry up, or they will eat it up."

    Zhuang Yuelian felt that he was considered a customer anyway, so he shouldn't be, but when he walked in, he found that no one regarded him as an "outsider".

    A dilapidated and old long dining room, with stains on the table for who knows how many years, under the bright yellow light, there are dishes that are not delicate but big enough, and the aroma keeps wafting out.

    More than 20 people sat crowded together, lively and noisy, and there was an indescribably harmonious atmosphere, and there was nothing like a group of vicious thugs.

    He even wondered if this was Heng Beisi, the lower city of Chiyan City.

    "Lord, come here!"

    Ling Qianjin noticed that Zhuang Yuelian was waving enthusiastically, and pushed the people on the side away to make room for him.

    Zhuang Yuelian's cafeteria was never so crowded when he was in the military academy. He sat down in the seat just enough to accommodate him, and someone shouted from across the table.

    "Big local tyrant, thank you for allowing us to eat meat today! I haven't eaten like this for several years."

    It was only then that he noticed that most of the dishes on the table were large pieces of meat, and everyone at the table was full of greasy food, even Luo Kun squeezed into a corner and started to eat.

    Then another person shouted: "Lord, if you get sick several times a year, we will have meat every day!"

    Ling Qianjin immediately put a large piece of meat into the bowl in front of him, "You have lost too much blood, you should make up more."

    "Have you really studied medicine? Fat meat does not replenish blood."

    "You're still a picky eater!" Ling Qianjin said dissatisfied, "You must have never experienced the life of starving for three days and only eating sand."

    Zhuang Yuelian didn't answer Ling Qianjin's words, he really hadn't experienced it, because Zhuang Rui would rather go hungry for three days and leave him the last food.

    He thought of the little leopard cub in the room, and asked Ling Qianjin, "Is there any clean bowl? Give me another one."

    Ling Qianjin asked him back, "Why do you need bowls? Our bowls are just like this, and they will still be like this if you change them."

    Zhuang Yuelian felt that Ling Qianjin was probably stimulated by what Luo Kun said before that they "did badly", so he continued, "Leave it to the brat."

    "Forget him."

    Ling Qianjin frowned, and couldn't help looking at Zhuang Yuelian again, thinking that he was really kind to that leopard cub, could it be that Shen Ji was going to pretend to be a child.

    He clicked his tongue secretly, and asked someone to fetch a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

    The person who was called was full of reluctance, and was in a hurry to get it as if he was reincarnated. He threw the bowl and chopsticks in front of Zhuang Yuelian and immediately went back to continue eating.

    Zhuang Yuelian glanced at the other party in surprise, picked up the bowls and chopsticks to pick out vegetables, but if he moved slowly, he would not be able to grab them.

    Ling Qianjin suddenly took out a bottle of wine from under the table, unscrewed the lid, raised her head and poured it into her mouth, but the boss on the other side held down her hand.

    "It's hard to get money to buy good wine, do you want to drink it all by yourself?"

    Ling Qianjin was robbed of the wine bottle just like that, and then everyone at the table shouted.

    "I want to drink too."

    So, a bottle of wine was passed around the table, and each of them took a sip.

    When it was passed back to Ling Qianjin, the bottle had already bottomed out, and he immediately looked mournful as if he had no hope of living.

    "Xiao Ling, be good, grandma will buy it for you next time when she makes money."

    The boss stood on the stool to reach Ling Qianjin's head, and stroked it like coaxing a child.

    Zhuang Yuelian was originally concentrating on grabbing food for the little leopard cub, when he suddenly heard the little girl-like boss calling himself "grandmother", and looked over in a blink of an eye.

    The boss caught his gaze, raised his chin and said proudly: "I've never heard someone call you grandma!"

    He asked curiously, "Gaoshou?"

    Ling Qianjin immediately "lived" again, and hurriedly replied: "This grandma is already 89 this year, because degenerative disease can only remain like this forever, and there is no way to grow back."

    The first thing Zhuang Yuelian thought when he heard this was, will the little leopard cub always look like a child?Can't grow up anymore?

    The boss suddenly stepped on the dining table with one foot, put his hands on his knees, and said angrily: "I think back when I was galloping across the stars, the whole star would tremble when I heard my name."

    Zhuang Yuelian asked her, "What's your name?"

    "Mo Yan."

    Luo Kun in the corner was concentrating on gnawing on the meat, but when he heard the name, he suddenly raised his head and said in surprise, "Devil? It makes people shiver."

    Zhuang Yuelian paid attention to Mo Yan and found relevant information in his mind.

    The star thief has been rampant in the interstellar for hundreds of years, and there have been some characters who resounded throughout the interstellar.

    Mo Yan is one of the star thief backbones wanted by the alliance many years ago. The most famous deed is that he was caught 18 times by the alliance and escaped 18 times.

    Mo Yan admitted unabashedly, "That's right, I'm that devil!"

    She said it as if she was remembering the past, with a look of recollection that she didn't want to look back, her childish features were all wrinkled, she grabbed Ling Qianjin's hair with one hand and gritted her teeth and said, "I have such a good life, if it weren't for that pig head of Lu Zhan to make it like this! I killed him long ago!"

    Hearing Lu Zhan, Zhuang Yuelian stopped grabbing food for the little boy, and asked thoughtfully, "Is your degenerative disease caused by star robbers or the auction house?"

    Mo Yan replied: "Is there any difference? It's Lu Zhan's pig head! My mother will kill him one day."

    Lu Zhan is the most wanted criminal in the alliance and the top boss of the Star Thief Group.

    Zhuang Yuelian looked at Mo Yan, but he didn't expect to meet someone related to the high-level Star Pirates here, and he was also transformed by the spiritual power core.

    He immediately turned on the brain mode of the terminal secretly and searched for Mo Yan's information.

    The last time Mo Yan was captured was 8 years ago. Although he escaped, the spaceship was destroyed, and the last record is - death.

    Mo Yan 8 years ago was still an adult.

    Therefore, Mo Yan actually did not die after the explosion of the spaceship, and was transformed into a spiritual power core to become what he is now.

    Then, at least 8 years ago, the Star Bandit had already started research on the transformation of the spiritual power core, and maybe it had something to do with the Shen family at that time.

    He pondered for a moment and asked: "The purpose of the night organization is to avenge Lu Zhan?"

    "That's right!"

    Mo Yan suddenly jumped off the stool, walked up to him, looked at him and said, "Would you consider joining us? We just need an investor."

    "Investor?" Zhuang Yue replied after a moment's pause, "I have one condition, you first tell me everything about Lu Zhan and the transformation of the spiritual power core."

    Mo Yan immediately stared at him, "Who the hell are you? Why do you know this?"

    "This question is not included in the conditions. If you accept it, I will agree."

    After Zhuang Yuelian finished speaking, he went back to grab the food in the bowl, waiting for Mo Yan's answer.

    Mo Yan turned back and stared at Ling Qianjin, not knowing what the eye contact was, and finally Mo Yan turned his gaze back to him and nodded, "Deal. I don't know your name yet?"

    Zhuang Yuelian didn't expect Mo Yan to agree without asking anything, but was rather skeptical.

    He looked over and replied seriously: "Zhuang Rui, you can call me Second Young Master Zhuang."

    Luo Kun on the opposite side heard Zhuang Yuelian's name, raised his eyes from the big bowl of meat, and introduced himself: "My name is Luo Kun."

    He pointed to the owner of the clothing store who was squeezed next to him and was about to fall off the table, "His name is Xu Ye."

    However, no one cared what they were called.

    Mo Yan has no doubts about Zhuang Yuelian's name, and the next step is to make demands on Zhuang Yuelian directly.

    "Since you have agreed, let's change some big-watt energy lamps for us first, and remove the humidity. This place is too dark, and the clothes are always wet because of the humidity. Yes! There is also a dryer..."

    Zhuang Yue frowned, Mo Yan was still talking about her request, he felt like he was cheated.

    "Uncle Zhuang."

    The cub's voice suddenly sounded at the door, and he looked back. The cub was standing at the door with his tail in his arms, looking at him with a pitiful look as if he had been abandoned.

    "come over."

    Zhuang Yuelian yelled, and the little boy ran towards him, clung to his back and hugged his neck, "I can't sleep alone."

    He took off the little cub holding his hand, there was no more space at the table to squeeze another cub, and was about to make room for himself, but the little cub crawled onto his lap without saying a word.

    He restrained the little boy, and the person on the other side stood up very winkingly.

    "Local tyrant, here."

    Zhuang Yuelian wasn't too polite, he moved over and made room for the little leopard cub, "Sit here."

    The little boy looked unhappy, and glared fiercely at the person who gave up his seat, but obediently crawled to his seat and sat down.

    "Does your head still hurt?"

    With concern in his eyes, Zhuang Yuelian pushed a bowl full of food over, picked up his chopsticks and handed it over, "Eat something first."

    With a table of meat, it is very rare for him to be able to match meat and vegetables.

    The little boy looked at his bowl, and immediately turned to him and asked, "Did you keep this for me?"

    "Otherwise, you think you still have something to eat when you come here now."

    Zhuang Yuelian looked at the little boy and smiled, and sure enough, the boy was easy to coax.

    The little cub picked up the chopsticks and fed it into his mouth, then suddenly spat it out again, "Hot!"

    "how is this possible?"

    He leaned over suspiciously, and the kid immediately fed him a mouthful, and he subconsciously opened his mouth to eat, "It's not hot."

    The little boy smiled and sat back to continue eating silently. He finally realized that this boy did it on purpose, so he chuckled lightly and didn't bother with the child.

    At this moment, everyone on the table had almost eaten, and half of them were staring at Zhuang Yuelian and Shen Ji curiously.

    They grew up in this chaotic and dirty place, even a newborn baby is not qualified to act like a baby, seeing Zhuang Yuelian's "love" for Shen Ji, he couldn't help but ask.

    "Tuhao, you love him so much and spend so much money for him! Is he your son?"

    Ling Qianjin couldn't help laughing again, Shen Ji immediately gave him a vicious look, and sat up straight in anger.

    "I'm not."

    After Shen Ji finished speaking, a burst of spiritual force rushed out, and most of the people on the table fell out in an instant.

    All of a sudden, people and food bowls and chopsticks in the restaurant became a mess. There was not a single straight bowl on the table, but Shen Ji was holding the bowl that Zhuang Yuelian had left for him.

    Those who fell hit the wall and fell down and screamed loudly, those who were not shocked by the mental force looked at Shen Ji in surprise, no one expected that the child had such a strong mental power.

    Zhuang Yuelian glanced at the mess in front of him, turned the little boy around, and asked in a cold voice like a parent teaching a bad boy: "What are you doing?"

    The little boy's eyes sank for a moment, and he felt aggrieved, "I didn't do it on purpose, Uncle Zhuang, I have a headache."

    Seeing how the cub came down in an instant, Zhuang Yuelian was not sure whether the cub did it on purpose just now, and he couldn't blame him.

    The moment he was stunned, the little brat leaned over him and said softly, "Uncle Zhuang, don't be angry with me."

    He choked his throat for a moment, facing the child who was completely dependent on him, he was not completely untouched.

    "Well, I'm not angry."

    Zhuang Yuelian replied very lightly that he wanted to apologize to Mo Yan, but the people who fell to the ground got up as if nothing had happened, and no one took it seriously.

    They patted the dirt on their bodies casually, and even picked up the meat that fell on the clothes and ate it, and then there was a burst of laughter.

    "Lord, your young master is really amazing!"

    "There's still a piece of meat here, don't waste it!"

    "Don't grab me!"

    Zhuang Yuelian didn't know what to say for a moment, but saw Mo Yan standing on the table suddenly, with his hands on his hips, and the slender cat tail behind him flicking back and forth, shouting at everyone.

    "Little brats, don't waste, eat clean and go to work!"

    "Roar!"

    With a response, no one felt that it was shameful to pick up the food on the ground. They picked up all the things that fell on the ground and ate them, even licking the plates clean.

    Zhuang Yuelian couldn't help thinking of his childhood, when Zhuang Rui was just a child, he always gave him clean food, and secretly went outside to pick up garbage by himself.

    In fact, these people are not vicious thugs, but in order to survive on this chaotic planet, there is no way to be moral.

    After eating, the dishes on the table had been "washed" by hand. Someone yelled, and two rusty humanoid robots walked in slowly, and started to clean up the table as if they would stop at any time.

    The others exited the restaurant in an orderly manner, and Zhuang Yuelian also gave way to the inflexible robot, picked up the cub and exited the restaurant.

    When he walked to the hall outside, he realized that the people who had just come out took out large and small bags from among the messy furniture, and carried them out one by one.

    They seem to have no dissatisfaction with this kind of life, but they are very happy because they ate meat today.

    In fact, there is a hole in one person's bag, and what is exposed inside looks like tableware picked up from a garbage dump.

    A piece of clothing fell out of the other bag. It was worn by the little leopard cub before. It had been torn to pieces, but now the clothes had been mended.

    The man quickly picked up the clothes, glanced carefully at Zhuang Yuelian, stuffed them back into his bag and walked away with a smile.

    "Is there any emotion? Second Young Master Zhuang has never seen such a life, has he?"

    Ling Qianjin suddenly stood beside Zhuang Yuelian, with her arms folded on her chest, as if she had nothing to do with him.

    Zhuang Yuelian glanced at Ling Qianjin, and asked, "Are they going to set up a street stall? Are you not going?"

    "As the mainstay of the economy, why should I set up a street vendor!"

    Ling Qianjin snorted disdainfully, and he suddenly understood why when he said he wanted to find Ling Qianjin when he first came, the other party would say that he was dead.

    The people in the hall were almost gone, Zhuang Yuelian stopped Mo Yan, "Can we talk about business?"

    Mo Yan nodded in agreement, "Indeed, let's go."

    Zhuang Yuelian felt something was wrong and asked her, "Where are you going?"

    "Buy a dehumidifier, a dryer, and if you are willing to replace two of our housekeeping robots... By the way, there is also a water purifier. The rainy season is coming, and it rains for only a few days a year. And-"

    "Wait." Zhuang Yuelian interrupted Mo Yan, seeing Mo Yan staring at him with remorse, he replied, "You can buy whatever you say, but——"

    "No but, buy something first, as long as you give enough, I can sell you my life."

    Mo Yan put his hands on his hips, raised his cat's tail and gave Zhuang Yuelian a thumbs up.

    Zhuang Yuelian got the guarantee, agreed to go shopping, and then said to the little brat at his feet, "Stay here and wait for me—"

    The boy immediately hugged his leg, "I want to go with Uncle Zhuang."

    "You don't have a headache?"

    "I'm scared alone." The little boy said with eyes as if he was about to be abandoned. He looked at it for a while and finally agreed, "No running around."

    Shen Ji raised his head and smiled slightly, "Uncle Zhuang, you don't want to run away."
