The Hundred Demons' Food Inn: A Menu

Xia Yi is a novice chef who graduated just six months ago. He grew up with his grandfather, the two of them relying on each other. But six months before Xia Yi graduated, his only family member, his grandfather, suddenly passed away and entrusted him to someone... Well... to be precise, a monster... Aside from his handsome appearance and a few minor magical tricks, this monster is not only taciturn, but also frighteningly innocent. Wait, he was the one his grandfather entrusted to the monster, right? Right? Right?! After working for half a year, he suddenly received a letter from his grandfather. The letter said that his one last wish was for Xia Yi to return to his hometown and take over the family inn... To fulfill his grandfather's last wish, he quit his menial job and returned home with the monster who had kept him company for the past six months. Who would have thought that the inn's customers would include not just humans, but also the monsters and spirits hiding in the human world... Mr. Monster, you don't need to be quite so hospitable. People have to pay for their meals, you know... [Foreknowledge] 1. One-on-one romance, with the protagonist as the bottom. 2.
