In an inconspicuous alleyway in the food street, several homeless people were lying on the ground. They were homeless, so sleeping there made no difference.

'Shhh~'

Suddenly, a figure walked into the alley. The figure was tall and looked like a man. He moved quite quietly when he came in, so the homeless people on the ground were quickly awakened. However, when they woke up and turned to look at the person, their faces showed a look of fear!

Ah!~

Around 3 a.m., Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi emerged from the Gate of Hell. However, they did not return empty-handed; each of them carried a human-shaped fruit. That's right, they had used some of their magic to buy the fruit in the end.

As Yue Jiuling walked, she tossed the fruit in her hand and said, "No wonder I've heard that more and more people are raising ghost children these days. So that's how it works."

Ya Zi also said, "Yes, but how come I've never heard of this thing before? Is it a newly discovered species?"

"Who knows? Anyway, let's take it back and hand it over to the higher-ups. It's better to let them study these strange things."

The two chatted as they walked south out onto the street. Although there were no ghosts around, they still couldn't go home to sleep; they had to wait until dawn before they could rest.

Just as they were about to walk out of South Street, Yue Jiuling heard hurried footsteps behind her, and judging from the sound, there were two people.

Hearing footsteps, she turned around and saw the father and son who had followed them into the Ghost Gate. The two were now carrying colorful, grass-like things, hurrying past Yue Jiuling and her companion, their hasty expressions suggesting they were rushing off to do something important.

As they passed by, the sharp-eyed Ya Zi glanced at what they were holding and asked suspiciously, "Is that Yin-Yang Grass they're carrying?"

Yue Jiuling hadn't actually been looking at what they were holding seriously, just thinking they looked like ordinary flowers and plants. But after Ya Zi reminded her, she started looking at their hands too.

"Hmm? That seems so. It looks like they went to the Ghost Market to buy Yin-Yang Grass, right?"

Yin-Yang Grass is actually a plant that lives between the realm of Yang and the realm of Yin, and its function is to balance Yin and Yang. For example, some people are born with an excess of Yin energy or an excess of Yang energy, and they will use Yin-Yang Grass to balance the Yin and Yang in their bodies so that they can live longer.

Of course, some ghost cultivators also like to use Yin-Yang Grass to maintain their Yin-Yang aura. This Yin-Yang Grass is not a particularly valuable herb, so it can be bought in most ghost markets.

Yue Jiuling looked at the time and decided to go on patrol again. She said, "It's only three o'clock now, and it's still a long time before dawn. Why don't we go on patrol again to kill some time?"

Ya Zi had no objection to the suggestion. He said, "That's fine, but I'd like to go to a 24-hour convenience store to buy some food. I'm a little hungry after walking for so long."

Although it's a holiday today, some convenience stores will still be open as usual, so Yue Jiuling agreed and said, "Sure, I'm thirsty too, let's go buy something to eat together."

On the pedestrian street, Bai Xinyu leaned against the wall playing games, while Mu Xiaoyi was on the phone. The two of them had some free time now, but unlike Yue Jiuling, they didn't go out to patrol the streets. They just found a spot and planned to stay there until dawn.

However, just as they were each busy with their own things, they suddenly heard some whispers coming from the wall. The voices were very soft, as if they were discussing something, but in the quiet night, even the softest sounds could be heard.

Upon hearing the sound, Bai Xinyu immediately paused the game. She turned to look at the wall from which the sound was coming and then shouted sharply, "Who is it? Who's talking over there?!"

Mu Xiaoyi had already hung up the phone. She looked cautiously at the wall and said, "We are from the Metaphysics Management Office. Who was talking there just now?"

The sounds from the wall fell silent when Bai Xinyu spoke. However, even though it was quiet, Bai Xinyu and Mu Xiaoyi still noticed a faint trace of demonic energy emanating from the wall.

Mu Xiaoyi didn't know what that was, so she held a few talismans and walked towards the wall: "Come out, we've found you, stop hiding."

In fact, Mu Xiaoyi only sensed a trace of demonic energy, and that demonic energy was very weak, so she had no idea what it was. However, she still pretended to scare it.

Seeing Mu Xiaoyi take out a talisman and head towards the wall, Bai Xinyu threatened, "If you don't come out, we'll get rough!"

She thought her threat wouldn't scare anyone, but as soon as she got closer, two small geckos, each about the size of a palm, suddenly jumped out from the wall.

"Tsk, it's you guys~ I thought it was someone else~"

When Bai Xinyu saw the two geckos come out, she breathed a sigh of relief. She said with a serious face, "Why are you two little monsters scaring people in the middle of the night instead of cultivating properly?"

Those two little geckos were just minor demons. Their demonic power was weak, and they couldn't transform into human form. Moreover, they were very timid, so they were terrified when facing a powerful demon like Bai Xinyu.

All you could see were the two little gecko spirits huddled together, trembling. One of the geckos looked up at Bai Xinyu and replied in a very soft voice, "No, no, we didn't mean to scare you. We just saw something very scary."
