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 472 Storytelling

"Oh, really? That's a coincidence. You'll definitely be interested in our expedition this time."

Sister Qing smiled and said to the two troublemakers, "Alright, little sisters, it's time for us to go out for breakfast. We'll be leaving soon!"

"good."

Yue Jiuxing responded, then put on her clothes and went out for breakfast.

Breakfast was similar to last night, consisting of dry rations and canned goods. Not long after they finished eating, the group broke camp and set off.

This journey was indeed quite rushed. The boss and the people around him kept looking at a map and talking the whole way. If Yue and Jiu hadn't known what they were up to, seeing their serious expressions, they would have really thought they were on an adventure trip in the mountains.

After spending most of the day climbing mountains and wading through rivers, everyone was exhausted, so they found a place near the river to rest and then cook a meal.

They probably wanted to eat something nice this time, so someone went down into the river and caught a few fish to grill.

It's cold in the mountains now. Although the river isn't frozen, the water temperature is still unbearable for most people.

Therefore, when they saw someone going down into the river to catch fish, Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue watched from the side and kept admiring the person who went into the river.

"Be careful! It's so cold, don't fall in!"

Yue Jiuxing spoke to someone who was going down into the river near her.

Yue Jiuyue was eating a can of food by the river when she said, "Wow, I'm impressed. It's so cold, how dare you go down there? I wouldn't dare."

"Hey, I've been getting tired of canned food these past few days, so I thought I'd go down and see if I could catch a fish to try. Don't worry, I'm just trying it out. If I can't catch one, I'll come back up right away."

The man who went into the river was a fairly young man, only in his twenties or thirties. He only went into the water near the edge to catch fish, and didn't dare to go into the deep water.

The river water was so cold that after touching it for a while, the man only managed to catch a very small fish before coming ashore.

"Oh dear, this fish is too small. Forget it, I'll just release it."

In the end, the man didn't catch any big fish, so he obediently ate the rations that were given to him, but the others caught a few bigger fish.

"Let's go, it's getting late, let's set off."

After finishing their meal and resting for a while, the boss sent someone to inform everyone to set off again. This journey took most of the day, and they didn't stop to rest until evening.

"Ugh, the signal here is so bad. I turned my phone off for so long, not wanting Jiu Ling and the others to look for me. I was thinking I'd get lots of messages when I turned it on today, but now I get no signal?"

While holding her phone and searching for a signal, Yue Jiuyue complained to Yue Jiuxing beside her.

"That's right, my phone is the same. There's no signal in these mountains. I've been holding back from using my phone for days. I finally wanted to use it today, but there's not a single bar of signal."

Yue Jiuxing was just as frustrated. Holding her fully charged phone, she said, "If we had known this would happen, why did we charge it so much before we left? We couldn't play games anyway, so we might as well have just worn a watch."

"Yeah, yeah, it's so frustrating, really."

When it was time to rest in the evening, the two of them took out their phones, which they had turned off for several days to avoid being 'harassed' by Yue Jiuling. However, to their surprise, there was no signal in the mountains, and even if they turned them on, the phones were still useless.

"Ugh, this is exhausting. Without phones to play with, we're going to have to endure this for a while longer."

Yue Jiuyue nestled on Yue Jiuxing's back, shaking her as she said, "By the way, how long do you think Jiuling will be angry about this trip? Will she be calm by the time we get back?"

"That's hard to say, I don't know either. To be honest, I'm a little afraid I'll get a beating when I get back, after all, Jiu Ling is so fierce~"

"Yeah, I'm super scared too~"

Yue Jiuxing nodded in agreement.

"What are you talking about? What are you afraid of?"

Just as Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing were chatting inside the tent, Sister Qing opened the tent flap and came in. She looked at the two troublemakers and said, "What were you talking about just now? What are you afraid of?"

"Oh, no, I was just talking about our older sister. We have a super fierce older sister."

Yue Jiuyue, still clinging to Yue Jiuxing's back, said, "We've been out for so long and haven't gone back yet. Our older sister must be waiting at home to punish us~"

Actually, Yue Jiuxing and the other girl had already noticed when Qingjie entered the tent, but since the topic they were discussing wasn't anything secretive, they simply ignored the person outside and continued chatting.

"Oh, so you have an older sister. I thought you were the only two sisters."

As soon as Qingjie heard them talking about their families, she immediately wanted to ask more: "By the way, do families like yours usually have some kind of story? Come, come, can you tell me about your family's story?"

"Hmm, a story? Yes, there really is one."

Yue Jiuxing thought for a moment and then said.

"Really? Can you tell me about it?"

Sister Qing also seemed very interested.

Yue Jiuxing originally didn't want to talk too much with Sister Qing, because Sister Qing would often try to get information out of them. However, after hearing the story being told, she suddenly had the idea of ​​telling Sister Qing a story in return.
