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 554 Emerging from Seclusion

Upon seeing the broomstick in Yue Jiuling's hand, and the snickers and lack of help from her other 'good sisters,' Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing burst into tears of grief and indignation, crying out, "It's not fair! We agreed it was voluntary!"

"Hehe~ I'm sorry, but in this family, you don't have the right to choose whether you want to or not."

Yue Jiuling raised her broomstick high and chased Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing to the Demon Realm. She then instructed them, "You two had better go find your true forms obediently. If you cause any trouble, I, your main soul, will suffer along with you. As long as you don't die, I'll beat you half to death when I get back..."

Hearing this threat, neither Yue Jiuyue nor Yue Jiuxing dared to cause trouble and obediently followed the group to the Demon Realm.

Because this trip to the Demon Realm was also a clandestine one, they all had to adopt a suitable identity and act separately to ensure their safety.

After the divided souls left, Yue Jiuling stayed at home in a daze, because she didn't know if sending those divided souls out this time would yield any results, since the auras that her divine sense found were already very weak. However, this also meant that those auras were left behind a long time ago.

"Tsk, this is so frustrating. Where did my true body and my divided soul go? I just can't find them. How strange~"

Yue Jiuling was troubled at home because she didn't know how to find her true body and her divided soul. Just as she was worrying, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. Upon hearing the knock, she said curiously, "That's strange. Why would someone come to see me at this time? Didn't I already tell everyone that I was going into seclusion?"

As Yue Jiuling walked to open the door, she turned on her phone, which had been switched off for several days. Reaching the front door, she said, "Who is it? You're here!"

Just as Yue Jiuling reached the door, she suddenly stopped. Looking at the still-knocking door, she raised an eyebrow and smiled, muttering, "How interesting. Have I become so weak that people think I can be eaten at will?"

As she spoke, Yue Jiuling reached out and opened the door, saying, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

Standing outside the door was a woman wearing a leopard-print outfit, a yellow baseball cap, and a yellow face mask. Her eyes were hidden behind the hat, revealing no emotion. In a low voice, she asked Yue Jiuling, "Hello, may I come in? I'm being chased, and I just tripped and fell. Could you help me?"

Without waiting for Yue Jiuling's agreement, the woman hurriedly squeezed into the house and closed the door behind her.

"Oh? Someone's chasing you? What's going on?"

Upon hearing the woman's words, Yue Jiuling asked in fear, "Who exactly are you?"

"Heh, don't worry about who I am, just know that you're going to die."

The woman who entered the house suddenly ripped off her mask, revealing a mouth full of teeth. She opened her mouth wide and pounced on Yue Jiuling!

However, just as she lunged forward, a pair of short swords suddenly fell from the sky and stabbed her in the mouth, instantly filling her mouth with blood!

"ah!"

The woman reached out to draw the pair of short swords, but before she could touch them, the swords flew out on their own, flanking Yue Jiuling on either side.

Yue Jiuling looked at the woman in front of her and sneered: "Hmph, although my spiritual power is very weak now, I still have the Guardian Sword. You are quite naive, wanting to eat any weak demons you find, without even considering whether you can actually eat them..."

Hearing Yue Jiuling's words, the woman showed a look of regret, but she didn't have time to regret it for long before Yue Jiuling killed her, or rather, Yue Jiuling ordered the short sword to kill her.

"Shuang'er, I'm entrusting her to you."

The pair of short swords are one entity; they can be combined into one or separated into two. They are Yue Jiuling's only weapon and are also divine artifacts that have gained sentience. Therefore, after receiving Yue Jiuling's order, they immediately killed the woman.

Watching the woman disappear before her eyes, Yue Jiuling stroked the pair of short swords and said softly, "Thank goodness you were here, otherwise I might have been eaten. Thank you, baby~"

Because Yue Jiuling's spiritual power has been very weak these past few days and has not yet recovered, she has become a very weak monster. As a result, she has attracted some evil creatures that like to improve their cultivation by eating monsters. Fortunately, Yue Jiuling does not have any spiritual power to protect her, but she does have a pair of protective artifacts.

Yue Jiuling put the short sword away. She rarely used short swords unless she encountered a powerful opponent, because she felt that ordinary things were not worthy of her short sword's use.

After dealing with the evil entity, Yue Jiuling announced to everyone on her phone that she had emerged from seclusion and that everyone could come and visit her.

In the group:

Yue Jiuling: Hehe, everyone, I, Yue Jiuling, have emerged from seclusion!

Bai Xinyu: Oh, you're finally out of seclusion! It's almost time for work, and you're only just coming out now. You haven't had much time to play!

Yue Jiuling: Yeah, but it's okay. I've had enough fun lately anyway, so I don't have time or anything to do.

Bai Xinyu: That's true~

Hidden: You're out of quarantine! Oh, right, it's almost time to go back to work, everyone should put away your playful spirits~

Ye Dongfeng: Okay~ But I really don't want to go to work, I feel like I haven't had enough fun yet~
