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 277 Confession

Bai Xinyu raised a glass of orange juice and toasted with her colleagues. She laughed heartily and said, "Haha~ Come on, cheers!"

Ye Dongfeng also raised his glass: "Cheers! Let's celebrate! We never expected that the giant centipede had never left its original spot. We were all worried for nothing."

Mu Xiaoyi also said with a smile, "That's right, that's right, but it's just a pity for Jiu Ling and Long Er, they won't be back so soon."

Hidden also said, "Oh, it's alright. We can wait for them to come back. I believe they will successfully catch the giant centipede and then return!"

Hearing their words, even Director Yu said, "Hehe~ By the time they come back, it should be about time for Xiaobaicai's wedding to be held, right?!"

Xiao Baicai and Qiongqi sat together. After hearing what Director Yu said, he lowered his head shyly and remained silent.

"Yeah, Little Cabbage, when are you having your wedding?"

Seeing Xiaobaicai's shy expression, Bai Xinyu ran to his side and asked, "When are you having the ceremony? We can't wait! It's such a joyous occasion, you have to get it done as soon as possible!"

Mu Xiaoyi also said, "That's right, that's right. If you ask me, it's best to get it done as soon as Jiu Ling and Long Er get back, so everyone will be free. Otherwise, if we wait any longer, we probably won't have time."

"Well, maybe we should wait a bit longer?" Little Cabbage leaned shyly against Qiongqi, saying hesitantly, "I think this is all happening a little too fast."

"Oh dear~ these days, whirlwind marriages are all the rage, so it's not really that early. If you two want it, we can just take you to the Civil Affairs Bureau right away, hahaha~"

"That's right, how about trying a whirlwind marriage? Hehe~"

Ye Dongfeng and Yinni were joking around in the back.

Little Cabbage blushed at their teasing and shook his head, saying, "No need, I... let's wait a little longer~"

Seeing his reaction, Bai Xinyu said, "Oh, what's there to be shy about? Waiting is fine, our Qi-ge can wait!"

Qiongqi kept smiling at Xiaobaicai. He said gently, "It's okay, Baibai, you don't need to be so nervous. Actually, everyone is just joking. We don't have to get married so soon."

In fact, Qiongqi also really wanted to marry Xiaobaicai, but they had only known each other for a short time in this life, so he was afraid that Xiaobaicai would not adapt to him and dared not force her to marry him so early. Therefore, even if Xiaobaicai was not willing to get married so early, he was willing to wait.

"Yeah, Qi-ge, you're so nice~"

When Xiaobaicai heard Qiongqi's words, he smiled and then lowered his head to eat. In fact, he was a little afraid of marrying Qiongqi because he had only learned Qiongqi's true identity yesterday.

Just last night, Qiongqi suddenly came to pick him up from get off work, and on the way there he said he had a secret to tell him. At that time, Xiaobaicai thought it was a secret and was quite excited!

As soon as they returned to the restaurant room, Qiongqi revealed its true form to him—a huge mythical beast that nearly scared Xiaobaicai to death!

Fortunately, Qiongqi only wanted to tell Xiaobaicai his true identity and didn't really want to scare him, so he transformed for less than a minute and then immediately turned back into human form. However, this still frightened Xiaobaicai.

Under Qiongqi's comforting words, Xiaobaicai was stunned for a full five minutes before he came to his senses. Fortunately, he eventually accepted Qiongqi's identity and said, "Okay, Qiongqi, Brother Qi, I've heard of you and the legends of the Four Fiends. I just didn't expect you to be one of them."

"Hey~ Little White~ Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I just want to tell you my true identity, don't be afraid~"

Qiongqi was also afraid of scaring Xiaobaicai, but thankfully, Xiaobaicai eventually accepted him. Qiongqi hugged Xiaobaicai, kissed his forehead, and said, "Don't be afraid. I've changed my bad habits now. I won't eat people anymore, and I've even switched to eating ordinary food. I live like an ordinary monster, so don't be afraid of me, okay?"

"Mmm, I'm not afraid. As long as you don't do bad things or eat me, I'm not afraid."

Xiao Baicai chose to believe in and accept Qiongqi. He felt that Qiongqi might not be as bad as the legends portrayed him, because he had genuinely felt Qiongqi's kindness towards him over the years. Therefore, he was willing to continue being with Qiongqi, although he felt that marriage was still a bit too early.
