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 458 Cowardly East Wind

Upon seeing this, Yinni whispered, "That snake probably hasn't noticed us yet, otherwise it would have already rushed over."

Ya Zi also said, "It's so big, it's probably almost a spirit. Should we go over and talk to it?"

Yue Jiuling also said, "Hurry up and decide! Staying here isn't going to solve anything. Those zombies have already left, and they haven't even reached their lair yet!"

Hearing Yue Jiuling's words, Yinni also became a little anxious, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's go. Anyway, it hasn't become a spirit. Are we, a few great demons, afraid of a giant snake?"

"Yes, let's go."

Ya Zi also spoke, and he was about to be the first to step forward and pass under the tree where the giant snake was. However, Ye Dongfeng was a little scared. He tugged at Yin Ni's clothes and said, "Yin Ni, you must protect me. I'm afraid that snake will swallow me whole."

As they were talking, the giant snake noticed that someone else was coming. It was already quite familiar with the zombies, so when it saw that someone different from the zombies was also coming, it warily stood up from the tree, flicking its head and staring at the newcomer.

When Ye Dongfeng saw the snake stand up, he became even more frightened. The hidden figure, seeing Ye Dongfeng's expression, mocked him, saying, "Hey, Dongfeng, you're a cultivator, and you've captured quite a few monsters. Why are you afraid of a big snake?"

"Oh dear, you don't understand. If this snake were in human form, it would be fine, but if it were in its original form, it would be terrifying. I'm quite afraid of it."

Ye Dongfeng said, tugging at the corner of his concealed clothing.

Seeing Ye Dongfeng's cowardly behavior, Ya Zi found it amusing. He walked up to the giant snake and said, "Hey, can't you talk? If you can, why don't you come and have a chat?"

The large snake, upon hearing Ya Zi's words, merely stuck out its tongue without uttering a sound; it seemed it had lost its ability to speak.

"Tch, so you just can't talk."

Ya Zi scoffed, then said to Yue Jiuling, "Do you want to scare it a little?"

"No need, I just want to go find the walkers."

Yue Jiuling knew that Ya Zi probably wanted to figure out how to get rid of the giant snake, so she said, "You do it."

"Fine, it's not good that it's blocking the way here."

Listening to their conversation, Ye Dongfeng guessed what Ya Zi wanted to do. He said with a bit of joy, "Oh dear, Young Master Long, you can drive it away. Why didn't you make a move sooner? Honestly, it scared me to death."

"That's because you're too timid. How come you're even less timid than a little cabbage?"

Ya Zi deliberately mentioned Ye Dongfeng, saying, "Even a little cabbage might not be as timid as you."

"Hey, stop teasing me, just hurry up and get rid of it."

Ye Dongfeng said anxiously.

Ya Zi heard his words and nodded with a smile, saying, "Alright, oh dear, poor East Wind."

As he spoke, Ya Zi stood under the tree and stared at the giant snake. He then subtly released some of his own powerful aura. Before that aura appeared, the giant snake wasn't afraid of Ya Zi and was still staring back at him.

But as soon as Yazi released its aura, the giant snake seemed to sense something terrifying and immediately darted down from the tree and disappeared into the jungle.

The way it ran away was as if it had encountered some terrifying monster.

Seeing that the giant snake had finally run away, Ye Dongfeng breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "Oh, it's finally gone. I'm actually quite afraid of snakes. Human-shaped snake demons are okay, but I'm afraid of snakes in their original form."

"Tsk tsk, you can't do this. You need to overcome this phobia."

Yue Jiuling passed under the tree where the giant snake was no longer there, and then said, "But I've never heard you say you're afraid of snakes before? You've never said you were afraid of these things before."

"That's because we haven't met before. We weren't even in the same group before. We're in charge of the human realm, and you're in charge of the demon realm."

Ye Dongfeng looked at Yue Jiuling speechlessly and said, "We weren't even in the same group back then, why should I tell you all this?"

"Oh, right, sorry about that, hahaha~"
