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 360 Crossing the River and Repairing the Bridge

Chapter 360:

In the demon realm, in a desert area, Yue Jiujie was walking with difficulty under the scorching sun. As she walked, she suddenly stopped and squatted down to play in the sand.

But just as she was playing in the sand, a large snake suddenly emerged from the sand behind her!

The giant snake was a king cobra. It was completely black and enormous. Its gaping mouth could swallow Yue Jiujie whole. But just as it was about to devour Yue Jiujie, he was discovered by Yue Jiujie.

"Hey! Long time no see, Ruthless~"

As the king cobra opened its mouth and approached, Yue Jiu Jie immediately turned around, kicked it on the head, and grabbed its tail, saying, "I told you, you're still as heartless as ever. Every time you see me, you want to eat me!"

The king cobra was kicked in the head by Yue Jiu Jie, and then roared angrily: "Yue Jiu Ling! You kicked me again! Why do you always kick my head? And let go of my tail!"

Hearing the king cobra's roar, Yue Jiujie helplessly lowered its tail and said, "Oh dear, if you hadn't wanted to eat me, why would I have kicked you? Actually, you should blame yourself."

"My fault?" The king cobra retracted its large tail, then coiled up and looked angrily at Yue Jiu Jie, saying, "If you hadn't bothered me, would I have eaten you?"

"Hey, don't be like that. We haven't seen each other for so many years, why are you still so fierce? Do you have to fight me before we can talk properly?"

Seeing that the king cobra was angry again, Yue Jiujie quickly went to its side and coaxed it, "Come on, my old friend, we haven't seen each other for so long, why don't you treat me to a meal?"

As Yue Jiujie reached out to grab the king cobra's head, he walked behind it, and together they slowly sank into a sand pit.

"Oh dear, you heartless wretch, your sandpit hasn't changed at all after all these years, it's still so ugly?"

"Shut up! What business is it of yours whether my family's scandals are scandalous or not!"

As the king cobra entered the sandpit, it was still angry, saying, "Come if you want, or get lost!"

Upon hearing its words, Yue Jiujie chuckled and said, "Come on, of course I'll come! I'll definitely be a guest at your home!"

The human realm.

When Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi returned to the management office, everyone else was still at get off work. Since everyone had gone out that day, they were all organizing the information they had gathered from their inquiries, and even their meals were ordered as takeout.

"Ugh, I'm so tired."

Yue Jiuling slumped onto her desk and sighed.

Ya Zi poured water for Yue Jiuling, saying, "You must be tired and angry, right? We..."

I've been out working all day, but I haven't found anything. It's so frustrating!

"Hey, you've all worked so hard, take a break first~"

Bai Xinyu was also drinking milk tea on the side. She pointed to the cardboard box she was holding in her arms and said, "I wonder if our harvest today will be of any use."

Hidden had already put all the captured insects into a glass bottle. He carefully observed the insects inside and then fed them some bread crumbs.

Hidden said, "The insects have just returned. Let's feed them a bit first, and then we'll start casting the spell later."

Bai Xinyu nodded to indicate that she understood: "Yes, I understand."

Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi also returned. As soon as they got back, they started fiddling with the computer and asking around for information. After overhearing the hidden words, Ye Dongfeng asked, "Speaking of which, these insects are so small. I feel like they probably won't survive this spell, right?"

Ye Dongfeng said this casually, but as soon as he said it, Mu Xiaoyi immediately replied to him, and in a rather unpleasant tone and with a stern face, she said, "If they can't live, they can't live. They're all pests anyway, you can kill them if you want. Do you have any sympathy for them?"

"Uh, no, I was just asking casually. Why do you hate me so much?"

Ye Dongfeng looked at Mu Xiaoyi, who had suddenly become furious, and asked, "Why do you hate them so much?"

When Ye Dongfeng said this, everyone in the office was looking at Mu Xiaoyi, because they didn't know why Mu Xiaoyi was angry. Bai Xinyu even said, "Xiaoyi, I just caught my bugs, did they offend you?"

Yue Jiuling chuckled and asked, "What's wrong? How did you become enemies with insects?"

Little Cabbage looked at Mu Xiaoyi with a blank expression.

Mu Xiaoyi was speechless under everyone's gaze. She stretched out her arms and legs, pointed to the several 'red envelopes' on them, and said, "We just have a grudge, so what? Is that a problem?"

"Um, okay."

Upon seeing the several "red bumps" that were clearly swollen from mosquito bites, everyone understood. Ye Dongfeng even touched his nose and said, "Haha, I wondered what happened. Turns out you were given a 'red bump'!"

Mu Xiaoyi rolled her eyes at Ye Dongfeng, then said, "Are you guys bored? It's perfectly normal for a normal human being like me and not like these bugs, isn't it? Why are you all staring at me like that?"

"Haha, actually, I think it's your tone that's a bit off, which caused a misunderstanding. You know, we always treat the animals that have helped us well, but your tone this time is just not like your usual self."
