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 181 The Ghost Realm

The Demon Realm.

The Demon King Qingcheng was dealing with the traitor in his palace. Last time, because Qiyou was in trouble, he led his men to the Demon Realm to rescue her. However, just as they were about to set off, the snake clan rebelled. Fortunately, the Divine Lord Hongyan was there, so he was able to get away as soon as possible to rescue Qiyou.

When Qingcheng finally arrived in the Demon Realm, he found that they couldn't find Qiyou at all. Fortunately, he had some informants in the Demon Realm and eventually learned that Qiyou was lucky and hadn't died; he had just gone missing.

When Qingcheng learned that Qiyou was not dead, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, the fact that he had gone missing and had to search for him again gave him a headache.

Just as Qingcheng was inquiring about Qiyou's whereabouts, news about Qiyou's current situation came from the Ghost Realm.

It turns out that when Qiyou was recuperating in the ghost realm, he made some ghost friends, which gave him the opportunity to send a message to Qingcheng.

After learning that Qi You was safe and only unable to return to the Demon Realm soon due to his injury, Qingcheng sent people to take care of Qi You, while she and Lord Hongyan returned to the Demon Realm to deal with the traitor.

The snake clan rebelled, resulting in the entire race being wanted. The snake clan's elders and ancestors were still on the run. Qingcheng no longer needed to look for Qiyou; she returned to the demon realm to begin the pursuit.

"Ugh, this is so frustrating, it's driving me crazy!"

As Qingcheng looked at the documents brought up by her subordinates, she sighed repeatedly.

Seeing this, Hongyan Shenjun, who was accompanying him, knew that this guy wanted to slack off, so he smiled and coaxed Qingcheng, "What's wrong? Are you tired? Come on, let me help you. If you have any problems, just ask your husband~".

Upon hearing Hongyan Shenjun's words, Qingcheng merely glanced at him indifferently without saying a word. However, she did stand up and offer her seat to Hongyan Shenjun, asking him to help process the documents.

In the past few days, whenever Qingcheng had something she didn't want to handle, she would ask Hongyan Shenjun to help her. Hongyan Shenjun had gotten used to it, and he was happy for Qingcheng to do so. After all, wasn't it only right to help his 'wife' with her official duties?

However, when he was helping with his work, he always liked to coax Qingcheng to go back to the God Realm with him to get married, but he never succeeded.

And so, Lord Hongyan is about to start seducing his 'fiancée' again.

"Little Qingcheng, how are you feeling today? Have your aunt and uncle replied to your letter? It's been so long, why don't we go back and have our wedding ceremony first, and then have a proper wedding ceremony when they come back, okay?"

Qingcheng was taking a break and eating the ice cream he had brought back from the human realm. He was already used to hearing Hongyan Shenjun's words, so he didn't answer him. However, while eating his ice cream, he 'generously' shared a small popsicle with Hongyan Shenjun.

"Oh, thank you, darling."

Seeing that Qingcheng didn't answer him again, Hongyan Shenjun chuckled and took the popsicle to eat. He knew that although Qingcheng had never formally accepted him, she had rarely rejected him recently, so he guessed that he might be close to success!

"By the way, Xiao Qingcheng, do many of the demon realm's inhabitants live in the human realm? I feel like the demon realm is almost assimilated by the human realm now. The shops, restaurants, and buildings on the streets are almost the same as those in the human realm."

This time, Qingcheng didn't ignore Hongyan Shenjun. Instead, she answered his question, nodding and saying, "Yes, I was the one who introduced this policy. Actually, I've always felt that the lifestyle of people in the human realm is quite good, so I let everyone go and learn from them. Look how good the results are now! This way, people don't have to spend all their time fighting and killing. It's so much better to learn from the peaceful coexistence of people in the human realm!"

"Yes, it's really good. Qingcheng, you're so smart, you truly are my little darling~"

"Hmph~ Of course, I am the smartest and most resourceful demon king in history!"

Lord Hongyan started showering Qingcheng with compliments, making her so happy she was completely disoriented.

Qi You, who was recuperating in the Ghost Realm, was actually doing quite well. Over the years, the Ghost Realm had been well managed by the Yama King's Palace. With the cooperation between the Ghost Realm and the Human Realm and the Demon Realm, many things had become much more convenient. The Ghost Realm was now almost the same as the Human Realm. The only difference was that there was no sun here, and it was gloomy all day long.

Qi You was drinking with some ghost friends in a tavern when an old ghost from the Tang Dynasty poured wine for everyone, saying, "Ah, life in the underworld has been getting better and better these past few years. If it weren't for the fact that reincarnation is a must, I wouldn't even be planning to reincarnate."

Another ghost friend, who was from the Song Dynasty, heard his friend say this and laughed and scolded him, "Come on, aren't you afraid of being beaten by ghosts for talking like that? You've postponed your reincarnation time several times already. Those who want to be reincarnated have to wait in line for so long. You finally got to the front of the line and now you don't want to be reincarnated. Do you think you deserve to be beaten?"

The last ghost friend was from the modern era. He was wearing a tattered Zhongshan suit, unlike the other two who were dressed much better. He laughed and said, "Brother, if you're not going this time, give me the chance. I was a poor man in life, and I'll be a poor ghost in death. I've had enough. I want to be reborn into a good family."

As Qi You listened to their conversation, she found her ghost friends quite interesting and chimed in, "Hey, I'm saying, is reincarnation in the underworld really that troublesome? Why does it take so long to get in line?"
