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 139 Snatching Food

Upon hearing Yue Jiu's words, Jiang's father and the others felt relieved. Jiang Hai even said, "Wow, does that mean they've lost all their skills and become ordinary people? Unless they're released, they'll never be able to escape on their own again."

“That’s right, they have lost their magic and turned back into ordinary people.”

Yue Jiuzai added, "Moreover, people like them who practice evil arts generally don't live very long. They'll probably 'die' soon."

"Tsk tsk tsk~ It seems one has to be careful when learning these things."

Seeing that there was nothing else for her to do, Yue Jiu Nian decided to mention her departure. She took a sip of her cola and said, "By the way, since everything is settled at home, we're planning to head back to J City tomorrow."

"Going back tomorrow? Isn't that too fast?"

Mr. Jiang was a little reluctant to see Yue Jiu Nian leave, but there was nothing he could do because he was also afraid of the 'lone star' that Yue Jiu Nian had mentioned.

Seeing that all the dishes had been served, Yue Jiuzai started eating without any hesitation. She said, "It's not time to hurry. It's been a long time since I've met up with everyone. It's time to go back."

The Jiang family all thought that Yue Jiuzai had been away training for a long time and had only just returned, so they assumed that Yue Jiuzai was in a hurry to go back.

Yue Jiu Nian knew that everyone was reluctant to part with her, but she also had to prepare to leave, because once all the fragmented souls were retrieved, it would be time for 'Jiang Nian' to disappear.

So she could only say, "Oh well, there's nothing I can do. If I don't leave, you'll all be in danger. I'm doing this for your own good. By the way, I might not be back for a very long time this time, because it's time for me to go out and gain experience."

In fact, Yue Jiu Nian had told them about the training before, but she didn't say that she would go too. However, they all knew that the training was actually about going to explore some deep mountains and forests.

When Mr. Jiang heard that Yue Jiu Nian was also going to go on a training trip, he asked worriedly, "Does she really have to go? Those places are so dangerous. Can she apply to not go?"

Yue Jiu thought to herself, "How can I not go? Where am I going to find people if I don't go?" But she still said, "No, everyone has to go. That's the rule."

At this point, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became heavy. Yue Jiuzai felt that this wasn't a good way to eat, and she was starting to lose her appetite. So she tried to lighten the mood by saying, "Actually, it's not a big deal. We usually treat it like a vacation or camping trip. The country is so safe now, what could possibly happen?"

Although Yue Jiuzai was right, Mr. Jiang still felt uneasy. However, there was nothing he could do; his daughter was completely disobedient. So he could only say, "Alright, then you all have to be careful, sigh~"

Looking at Jiang's father's expression, Yue Jiu Nian felt a little touched, but that was all; it wouldn't change her mind.

After dinner, Yue Jiu Nian started making video calls to Yue Jiu Ling, but no one answered, so she had to call Yue Jiu Xing instead.

Yue Jiuxing answered the video call quickly. She was fighting with Yue Jiuyue for food. The battle for food was so fierce that the two of them were covered in food and looked quite disheveled.

"Hey~ It's Jiu Nian and Jiu Zai, what's up?"

Yue Jiu Nian looked at the two people on the other end of the video call with disgust. She frowned and said, "Tsk~ Can't you two just eat properly? What kind of mess is this? It's like you're fighting over food with evil spirits."

Yue Jiuzai also found the two idiots opposite her disgusted. She said with a mix of laughter and tears, "What are you doing? Aren't you afraid that Jiuling will beat you up when she comes back?"

Yue Jiuxing got food splattered on her clothes because she was too rough while grabbing the food, and Yue Jiuyue was the same, covered in dirt, with vegetable scraps even in her hair.

Yue Jiuxing glared at Yue Jiuyue indignantly and said, "It's all her fault! We agreed to split it in half, but she insisted on taking it from me. Of course, I wouldn't give it to her, so we started fighting over it..."

"What the hell? You think you can just say half and that's it? I didn't even agree to that! I'm not going to split it with you, you jerk! Humph!"

Yue Jiuyue brought out her domineering and unreasonable nature, acting like a bully protecting her food, which infuriated Yue Jiuxing.
