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 454 New Case

"Oh dear, now that you mention it, it does seem true~"

After listening to Ya Zi's analysis, Bai Xinyu immediately felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

Even Yinni thought this was a good idea. He said, "That's true. Given how gossipy those aunts and uncles in our family are, if we break up, they'll probably be mindful of both families and won't dare to say much. But if it were other monsters, especially small families without any powerful backers, they would definitely gossip about us behind our backs."

"Why don't we just team up?"

Bai Xinyu looked at Yinni and said, "We'll go home together then. We're all so familiar with each other, so we won't give ourselves away."

"Yeah, why don't you two just team up? You'd save on rent too!"

Ye Dongfeng also said, "Renting outside is unreliable, and finding someone you know might lead to gossip if you break up later. You might as well just make do together."

Yue Jiuling also thought this idea was feasible, and she said, "Yes, why don't you two team up?"

Even the little cabbage said, "Yes, yes, you're the same species, you're a perfect match!"

"That's right, this way you won't be discovered. If people ask why you're together, you can say that you work together all the time and developed feelings for each other, so you got together."

Mu Xiaoyi said with a smile.

Hearing everyone urging Yin Ni and Bai Xinyu to team up, Ya Zi felt relieved, because he didn't want to go back to act with Bai Xinyu, nor did he want Yue Jiuling to go back with Yin Ni to help.

Ya Zi said, "Alright, stop hesitating. You've worked together for so long, it's normal for you to be together now. Our department hasn't said anything about not allowing office romances, so what are you afraid of? Just take him back and report!"

"Well, you're right. How about we deal with this, Xinyu?"

Yinni thought for a moment, then looked at Bai Xinyu and said, "They will definitely give us red envelopes then, so just think of it as going to collect red envelopes."

Bai Xinyu thought about it and agreed. Finally, she waved her hand and said, "Alright, let's team up then. Remember not to give ourselves away, the ancestors are not easy to deal with."

"Yes, don't worry about that. I've met your great-great-great-grandmother, so I roughly know how to handle it."

Hidden breathed a sigh of relief, as if a major worry had been resolved, and said, "As long as we get through this year, we can worry about next year next year. Let's get through this year first."

"Hahaha~ You've finally met your match, tsk tsk, how pathetic~"

Ye Dongfeng reached out and patted Yinni on the shoulder, saying, "Good brother, we're in the same boat now, aren't we?"

Bai Xinyu also said with a bitter face, "It's terrible, isn't it? My old mother is the same way, she doesn't say anything for me either, sigh~"

Seeing that they had finally found a way to deal with their families, Yue Jiuling laughed and said, "Haha, I'm telling you, if you're really that troublesome, you might as well just find a real one. After all, a fake is a fake, and it can't compare to the real thing."

“Yeah, why don’t you guys go on blind dates like Dongfeng? It would be good to find a real partner. Look at me, having a partner is so great. In winter, we can keep each other warm in bed, and in summer we can go swimming together. We can spend holidays together, instead of being all alone.”

Mu Xiaoyi was trying her best to introduce the benefits of having a partner to everyone. Xiaobaicai, who was watching, also added, "Yes, yes, they can tell you stories, lull you to sleep, and take you out to play. That's how Qi Ge treats me. He's very good to me."

"Ahem, alright, you guys stop talking. We'll just need to know the general idea."

Listening to two people in relationships recommending the advantages of being in a relationship, Yue Jiuling said with a hint of sarcasm, "Don't go too far. There's a limit to how much you can abuse couples!"

"That's right, that's right, don't go too far."

Ya Zi chuckled and said, "Really, is it necessary to make it so clear?"

“Exactly, exactly,” Ye Dongfeng said with dissatisfaction, “You guys have gone too far, making us all want to find a real partner.”

Listening to everyone's comments, Ahui smiled, took a sip of his milk tea, and said, "Hey, it's almost Chinese New Year. Actually, finding a partner isn't a bad idea. I wish everyone can find their true love!"

"Thank you, and I also wish Ahui can find a partner, and that your family members will soon become sentient beings."

Yue Jiuling ate potato chips and laughed.

A few people were in the office discussing for a long time about bringing their partners home for the Chinese New Year. By the time they finished, it was lunchtime.

"It's twelve o'clock. What does everyone want to eat? Order takeout or eat out today?"

Little Cabbage looked at the clock on the wall and said, "Speaking of which, the weather has been so cold lately that I don't even feel like drinking water anymore."

"No way, this won't do. You can't go without water. Why don't you drink some hot water?"

Upon hearing what Xiaobaicai said, Yue Jiuling quickly replied, "You'll get sick if you don't drink water."

"I know, but hot water doesn't taste as good as cold water."

Little Cabbage sighed and said, "Never mind, I'll still drink a little."

As he spoke, Xiaobaicai ordered himself a bowl of plain porridge and a bottle of mineral water on his phone. He said, "I'll have this for today. I haven't been feeling very hungry lately."

Yue Jiuling peeked at the takeout Xiao Baicai had ordered and frowned. She said, "Is this okay?"

"It's okay, it's fine. You guys eat your food, don't worry about me."

After ordering takeout, Xiaobaicai looked down at her phone and seemed listless and lacking energy.
