Is this true?

"Of course."

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Hu believed Yue Jiu's words.

Under Yue Jiu Nian's serious-sounding nonsense, Jiang Hu's family actually believed her. And when Yue Jiu Nian left, Huang Qing even took out a lot of gold ingots and candles to burn for Yue Jiu Nian and Yue Jiu Zai, saying that he wanted to send her off one last time.

On the way back to J City, Yue Jiuzai joked, "Jiu Nian, you're really something. I thought you had found some reason, but it turned out to be such a great lie. If I didn't know the truth, I almost would have believed you."

Yue Jiunian grinned and said, "Hehe~ After thinking it over, I still think this method is the most effective, so I used it. The effect is quite good. As long as they believe that our deaths were accidental and stop looking for Jiuling, that's fine."

"Alright, that's fine too."

The two had finally resolved a troublesome matter and were ready to happily return home. However, after drifting to an intersection on a main street in the city, they encountered the two spirits they had seen before.

All I could see was the ghost holding a broken bowl and a pair of chopsticks, now squatting on the ground like a beggar. His broken bowl was placed in front of him, and he was tapping it with the chopsticks.

The demon spirit lay beside the ghost, looking haggard, covered with a tattered cloth, appearing to be on the verge of death. The two looked like good partners begging for food together.

When Yue Jiuzai saw them, she became curious. She looked around and found that there were no ghosts on the street, and even the people burning paper money were gone. However, there was still trash of incense and candles scattered on the ground. So she guessed that the two begging souls had failed to get anything and were now begging here.

Thinking of this, Yue Jiuzai said to Yue Jiunian, "Look at them, didn't they fail to grab anything?"

Yue Jiu Nian had already noticed the two souls. She said, "Maybe so, but there's nothing they can do if they didn't manage to snatch it. Ugh, why did I throw away all the things Huang Qing burned for me? I should have brought them with me; then we could have given them to them."

Yue Jiu said with annoyance.

Huang Qing had burned a lot of things for them, but they wanted to return to Yue Jiuling's body, so they threw those things away after taking them outside the villa. Now that they think about it, they shouldn't have thrown them away.

"Oh dear, what a waste, but we left it by the roadside, so maybe a ghost will pick it up?"

Yue Jiuzai also felt it was a pity, but since they had already lost it, they wouldn't think about going back to pick it up. Yue Jiuzai approached the ghosts who were still banging on the bowl and said, "Hey, what are you doing here? There's nothing left to pick up here. You can go somewhere else. Maybe there are people burning things on the next street."

The ghost who was banging on the bowl was rhythmically tapping it when it was suddenly disturbed by Yue Jiuzai. It immediately stopped what it was doing, turned around and saw Yue Jiunian and Yue Jiuzai. It smiled and said, "Oh, it's you two. Well, it's not that we're too lazy to go to the next street, it's just that we can get money by begging here."

"You can beg for money here?" Yue Jiu asked curiously after hearing their words, "Do you often beg for money like this?"

"Yes, we are wandering souls who have no one to worship us anymore, so we often come out at night to beg for some money."

The demon spirit lying to the side chimed in, kindly whispering, "By the way, if you want it this way too, that's fine too. Right now, it's just the two of us on this street. You can go to the other end of the street, and then both ends will be ours."

Upon hearing the ghost's suggestion, Yue Jiu Nian was about to say something when she suddenly saw a kind person walking by who had given the ghost some change from his wallet.

When the ghosts and demons saw that someone had given them money, they repeatedly thanked the kind person, saying, "Thank you so much! Good deeds are rewarded!"

Seeing this, Yue Jiu Nian didn't want to say anything more. She turned around and looked at Yue Jiu Zai, saying, "Let's go. It's almost midnight. We need to get back to Jiu Ling's side as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Yue Jiuzai turned to leave, but the ghost who had just become the 'boss' stopped them.

"Hey, ladies, where are you going? Aren't you going to make money with us?"

Yue Jiu Nian turned around, looked at the few coins in his bowl, shook her head, and said, "No, we have someone to offer sacrifices to."

"Oh dear, so someone is offering sacrifices. How envious I am!"

Hearing that they had people offering sacrifices, the two spirits no longer suggested that Yue Jiu and the other two become beggars with them.

At 11:30 a.m., Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi were still patrolling the streets of J City. However, they encountered many more ghosts than before, and the yin energy became heavier as midnight approached.

Although some shops are still open on the main street of the pedestrian street, there are far fewer pedestrians than usual, while the number of ghosts has increased considerably. On the streets that Yue Jiuling and the others patrol, there are even a few living people returning home late mixed in with the ghosts.

Yue Jiuling was afraid that someone would discover them and something bad would happen, but fortunately everyone was normal and nothing unexpected happened.

"Tsk, it'll open in fifteen minutes. Let's go to South Street."

Looking at the time on her phone, Yue Jiuling stopped patrolling the streets and decided to go with Ya Zi to guard a gate of hell on South Street.
