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 173 The deception was exposed.

Suddenly, Ya Zi exclaimed excitedly, "Jiu Ling, Xiao Bai Cai, I know how to win the grand prize! Come with me!"

"Hmm? What's your plan? Are you going to cheat?"

Upon hearing Ya Zi's words, Yue Jiuling immediately became interested. They were demons, not humans. Humans' fortunes were predetermined by heaven; whatever amount they were born with was what they were born with. If they were to cheat, they might have to pay a price if it got serious.

But it's different for monsters. They earn their luck through their own efforts, so even if they cheat using special methods, as long as it's not too outrageous, Heaven will turn a blind eye.

"Hehe, of course I have a way! I'll just go find a Pixiu and a Qilin!"

Suddenly, Ya Zi laughed in a sinister and cunning way, and said, "Several hundred years ago, I had a period of bad luck, so I went to visit them for a while, and then my luck suddenly became incredibly good."

Both Pixiu and Qilin are auspicious mythical beasts. Of course, Pixiu is a little different because it is both fierce and auspicious, and is a mythical beast that wards off evil. In short, encountering them will bring good luck.

Ya Zi felt an itch to pet them again when he thought about how he used to catch them and stroke their fur back then. He wanted to pet them again to bring them good luck.

The story goes like this: when Yazi was undergoing his heavenly tribulation, he was struck by heavenly lightning several times and was badly injured. Fortunately, he passed the tribulation, but he was seriously injured.

After Ya Zi was injured, his luck suddenly turned very bad. This mighty demon would stumble and fall while walking, choke on water, and even catch a cold while sleeping. This gave Ya Zi a real headache.

At that time, Ya Zi was still living with his father Ying Long. When Ying Long saw his second son like this, he kindly suggested, "Hey, second son, why don't you go stay at your Uncle Pi Xiu's or Uncle Qi Lin's house for a few days? Go play with those kids and get some good luck before you come back?"

Pixiu and Qilin are of the same generation as Yinglong, so Yazi has to call them uncle and paternal uncle. However, the younger generations in the Qilin and Pixiu families are all of the same kind, unlike Yinglong's family which has a large number of sons, and none of them are the same.

Because it was Yinglong's father's suggestion, Yazi packed his things and went to the Pixiu and Qilin families.

Qilin and Pixiu both live in the God Realm, just like Yinglong. The three families are old friends and often visit each other. Yazi is even of the same generation as some of the younger generation of the two families, so they get along well.

However, as soon as they heard that Ya Zi had come to share in their good fortune, they immediately started to drive the guests away, because Ya Zi was a very annoying fellow who liked to grab them and pet their fur every time he came to play with them!

Ya Zi would never forget how the little Qilin he had grabbed and petted cursed him indignantly. Because the little Qilin was too young to fight back, he cried and cursed as he was being petted: "Aww~ You hateful big brother Ya Zi, you're so mean! You've petted all my fur off, I'm going to be bald!"

When Ya Zi heard this, he chuckled and said, "Bald? No way! Oh, don't be so stingy. Just bear with it a little longer, I'm going to Uncle Pixiu's house to find the little Pixiu later~"

"Hahaha~ You're as wicked as ever. The little Qilin is still so small, how could you do that?"

After listening to Ya Zi's recollections, Yue Jiuling couldn't stop laughing, because she found it hilarious to think about the scenes of Ya Zi bullying those small divine beasts.

Little Cabbage laughed too, because he was a little monster who had never seen any mythical beasts before, so he was very interested in these 'big boss' level matters.

Little Cabbage said, "Wow~ Pixiu and Qilin! They're legendary mythical beasts, I want to meet them too!"

Ya Zi glanced at Little Cabbage and said, "Hehe, you want to see a mythical beast, right? I'll let you see one in a bit."

Little Cabbage nodded happily, but as he nodded, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Emmm, but Brother Long, how do you know so many mythical beasts?"

Ya Zi, who was originally planning to go find the divine beast, was stunned when he heard Xiao Baicai's words. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: Oh no, I'm going to expose myself for being too pretentious!

Upon hearing this, Yue Jiuling stopped laughing. She looked at Ya Zi with a look that said: You should handle your own problems.

Ya Zi understood Yue Jiu Ling's look, so he turned to Xiao Bai Cai and said, "Xiao Bai Cai, um, I'll tell you a secret~"
