I'm Investigating妖怪Cases in the Human Realm

As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...

Chapter 102 Seeking a Talisman

Seeing that Yue Jiu Nian was about to leave, Huang Qing quickly called out to her, "Hey~ Nian Nian, wait a minute. You don't know how to draw talismans, but do your senior sisters know how? We don't know if the people outside are really capable. What if we encounter a swindler?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Jiu Nian also agreed with Huang Qing's statement. In the Dharma-ending Age, it is very difficult to find truly capable people in the human realm.

She suddenly thought of Yue Jiuling's department, then stopped and turned around, saying, "Hmm, I'll talk to them and see if they know anyone who can draw talismans."

After going downstairs, Yue Jiunian called Yue Jiuling.

"Hey, Jiuling, Jiang Nian's father has run into some trouble. Do you know anyone who can draw talismans?"

At this moment, Yue Jiuling was having soup with her colleagues in the management department in the office, because Mu Xiaoyi really did bring everyone a homemade nourishing soup the next day, just as Yue Jiuling had guessed.

When Yue Jiuling received Yue Jiunian's call, she had just finished her first bowl of soup and was asking Ya Zi to fill her second bowl.

"Hey, is this Jiu Nian? What's wrong?"

When Ya Zi saw Yue Jiuling answering the phone, he handed her the soup he had prepared. Then, as Yue Jiuling reached out to take it, he deliberately touched her hand casually.

Here, your soup.

Yue Jiuling accepted the soup without any apparent reaction, then thanked her, saying, "Thank you~"

On the other side, Yue Jiu Nian quickly recounted the matter to Yue Jiu Ling, and then said, "I want to get him some amulets or something. Do you know any masters?"

Yue Jiuling found it somewhat amusing that a demon like herself had to ask a master for talismans, but she still glanced at Mu Xiaoyi standing to the side and said to Yue Jiunian, "Send me your address, and I'll send you some later."

Yue Jiu Nian knew immediately that Yue Jiu Ling knew someone, so she said, "Okay, I'll give you the address now, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Yue Jiu Nian sent the Jiang family's address, while Yue Jiu Ling went to ask Mu Xiao Yi for a talisman.

The Mu family has been Taoist masters for generations, and their family's talismans are ranked number one in the metaphysical world. So when Mu Xiaoyi heard Yue Jiuling ask her for talismans, she immediately took out a large pile of talismans and said, "Oh, it's just a few talismans. I have plenty. I can have as many as you want."

Yue Jiuling chuckled and said, "Hehe~ I knew you had a lot of talismans, but I don't need many, just a dozen or so will do. Just give me some to ward off evil spirits, the kind that are good for peace."

Mu Xiaoyi took out a large pile of talismans from her desk and handed them to Yue Jiuling, saying very generously, "Here they are, take your pick."

Since the power of those talismans was completely useless to Yue Jiuling, she didn't hesitate to carefully select the talismans.

Ya Zi was drinking nourishing soup with the others when he looked at his colleagues and said, "I said you've all had a day off, and you've had soup today, so aren't you ready to come back to work?"

After a day of rest, everyone felt much better, but some people still wanted to slack off because work injury leave is paid, so they didn't want to go to work.

Upon hearing Ya Zi's words, Ye Dongfeng pretended to be very tired, completely unlike his energetic self who had been eagerly drinking the soup just moments before. He leaned back in his chair and said listlessly, "Oh dear, I can't take it. I'm so tired right now. After losing so much spiritual energy, I have no energy left. I probably won't be able to go to work."

Seeing Ye Dongfeng like this, Yinni immediately followed suit and said, "Yeah, me too. I just can't muster any energy and can't go to work."

Seeing the two actors channeling their inner movie stars, Bai Xinyu immediately transformed into a movie queen herself: "Sigh~ Me too. I think I'll probably need to rest and recuperate for a while longer."

Ya Zi looked at the three drama queens with disdain and said, "You guys are really good at pretending. It's only because Director Yu isn't here today that you can act so well."

Director Yu is on leave today, so he didn't come to work.

Xiao Baicai was drinking a delicious nourishing soup. He looked at Ya Zi, then at Ye Dongfeng and the other two, and finally said with a wicked smile, "Um, well, Brother Long, actually I didn't want to be lazy. I just didn't want to disturb your date with Sister Jiuling."

Ya Zi saw that Xiao Bai Cai had also 'turned bad', but he wasn't angry because he was amused by Xiao Bai Cai's mention of a 'date'. He chuckled and pretended to be angry, saying, "Tsk~ What are you talking about? We're working, not dating."

As he said this, he turned to look at Yue Jiuling, who was picking out spirit talismans with Mu Xiaoyi on the other side.
