"Hmm, although I didn't smell anything, I still want to try this stuff."

Shi Tou looked at Yue Jiu Ling expectantly. Yue Jiu Ling knew he wanted to try her instant noodles, so she went to the kitchen, found a small bowl, and gave Shi Tou some noodles and soup to try: "Here, try this and see if you can taste anything."

Shi Tou imitated Yue Jiu Ling in holding chopsticks, then ate a noodle. He said with a somewhat conflicted expression, "Um~ I can't describe the taste, but it seems okay. I quite like it."

He took another sip of the noodle soup as he spoke, and he seemed to really enjoy it.

Seeing his expression, Yue Jiuling laughed and said, "Haha~ Isn't it pretty good? Actually, I think most people like instant noodles, especially those trying them for the first time. Here, I'll give you some more. Once you're fully used to it, you can eat and drink to your heart's content in the human realm~"

After taking a few bites, Shi Tou seemed to have really become addicted to instant noodles. He actually ate half of Yue Jiu Ling's instant noodles, and Yue Jiu Ling was happy to share the food with him when she saw how much he enjoyed it.

"Phew~ Okay, we're done eating. If you want more, wait for Jiuxing and Jiuyue to come back and they'll teach you how to cook. We should head out now."

While clearing away the dishes, Yue Jiuling spoke to Shi Tou, who was still savoring the taste of instant noodles.

Stone nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Yue Jiuling quickly packed everything up, then took the stone and went to the management office.

At 9 p.m., Yue Jiuling took Shitou to the first floor of the management office and then taught him how to use the machine.

Since their department got a machine that allows monsters to apply for their own monster certificates, everyone's workload has been greatly reduced. Apart from some special cases and investigations, their department has very little work to do.

"Here, this is your demon certificate. If you encounter any celestial masters or our colleagues in the future, you won't be afraid. This certificate is your ID card for living in the human world."

Stone looked at the small document in his hand, then nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Yue Jiuling knew that Shi Tou was a bit confused, so she continued, "Well, I'm about to get to work. Do you want to go back first, or go find Jiu Xing and the others to go out and have some fun?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Tou said, "Are you going to work? Can I work with you? I don't know where Jiu Xing and the others are; I can't find them."

"No, my job is a bit dangerous, you can't come with me!"

Upon hearing Stone's words, Yue Jiuling refused without hesitation. She was joking; Stone Demon had only recently attained human form, a feat that hadn't been easy. What if she followed him and accidentally encountered that 'snotty demon' and had her spiritual power drained? Then she would become a sinner.

Yue Jiuling said, "I'm currently trying to catch an evil spirit that can drain people's life essence and spiritual power. You can't come with me. Forget it, you should just go home. Jiuxing and the others shouldn't go looking for it either, lest something bad happens."

When Shi Tou heard Yue Jiu Ling say that, he had no choice but to obediently say, "Okay, then I'll go home and wait for you to come back."

Yue Jiuling thought it was still early, so she didn't personally take Shi Tou home. She just gave him the keys and said, "Take care of yourself on the road. Call me if anything happens. You know how to use a cell phone, right?"

Because there were many cell phones at home, Yue Jiuling simply got one for Shi Tou as well.

Shi Tou took the key from Yue Jiu Ling and said, "Hmm, I've learned a little bit. I'll head back now~"

"Go ahead, and be careful on the road."

Watching Shi Tou slowly walk towards home, Yue Jiuling prepared to go back to her office to wait for Ya Zi. But as soon as she turned around, she saw Ya Zi walking towards her from another direction.

"Hi, good morning~ Jiuling."

Ya Zi greeted Yue Jiuling with a smile and said, "By the way, who was that person just now?"

He felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Yue Jiuling chatting and laughing with that boy, but he didn't dare to show it.

Yue Jiuling was speechless when she heard Ya Zi say "good morning" to her. Although she had just woken up, she still felt that "good morning" was a little strange.

She said, "Tsk~ You rascal~ Oh, that guy was a friend of mine. Let's go, let's get to work."
