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 562 Happy Lantern Festival

"Tsk, no wonder it ran so fast."

Bai Xinyu frowned and sniffed around: "The scent is very faint. Its cultivation level is probably around my level, but why is it attacking us?"

"It lured us in first and then attacked; it was clearly intentional, not a defensive maneuver."

Yue Jiuling squatted down on the ground, reached out and touched the small array, and said, "This array is for one-time use only. We can't catch up with it."

"Ah, I see. Then I guess we won't be able to find it."

Bai Xinyu also squatted down and touched the small array on the ground, saying, "You said it attacked us, what does it want to do? We haven't made any enemies with any cat demons recently, and we're even of the same kind as it."

"How would I know? We haven't revealed our identities along the way. It's possible that it randomly chose someone to attack, and we were just unlucky enough to be its target?"

Yue Jiuling recalled the scene where the cat screamed after being burned by her fireball, so she shook her head and said, "Let's look around and see if we find anything. If not, we'll leave."

"OK."

Bai Xinyu didn't want to waste any more time. After searching around the corner and finding nothing suspicious nearby, she pulled Yue Jiuling and said, "Jiuling, there's nothing here. Let's go."

Yue Jiuling looked around and, finding nothing unusual, nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll head back first."

Yue Jiuling and Bai Xinyu quickly left the place. In the corner around the bend, there was a trash can. Inside, a gray cat that had been burned was hiding itself tightly in a small mud pot. Only after Yue Jiuling and Bai Xinyu's presence had disappeared did it dare to come out of the mud pot.

"Ouch~ That hurts~"

The gray cat's eyes were red with pain. It jumped out of the trash can, then conjured a cell phone and called someone: "Hey, I'm injured. I just encountered a very powerful monster. If I hadn't used the teleportation array to get into the isolation mud pot, I might have been burned alive."

After finishing his phone call, the gray cat jumped back into the trash can, picked up the mud pot, and then carefully carried it away.

In Bai Xinyu's dormitory, Yue Jiuling looked at the white fluff all over the floor and some snack trash, and said to Bai Xinyu speechlessly, "I said, aren't you a little too lazy? I always tell you to try to turn back into human form when you shed, so that the fluff will stay inside your clothes and won't make a mess of the whole room. Now look, the floor is covered with your fluff."

"Hehe, I just feel more comfortable with the original version."

Bai Xinyu smiled ingratiatingly at Yue Jiuling, then went to fetch the cleaning tools and handed a broom to Yue Jiuling, saying, "Jiuling, it's getting late. Let's hurry up and finish cleaning, otherwise it'll be too late and you'll have to stay here to sleep, but you complain that I shed fur and don't want to sleep here with me..."

Yue Jiuling rolled her eyes at Bai Xinyu, took the broom and said with extreme disgust, "Who wants to sleep here with you? All you do all day is shed fur, and you never even change shape. You're so annoying, you demon!"

"Hehe~ I knew you still love me."

When Bai Xinyu saw Yue Jiuling sweeping the floor, she immediately went to get a mop to prepare to mop the floor.

After sweeping up all the trash and hair on the floor, Yue Jiuling went to the kitchen to help Bai Xinyu tidy up the kitchen utensils before finally tidying up the clothes in the room.

Bai Xinyu, this vain cat demon, has a lot of clothes. She is very good at matching clothes, but she hates organizing her wardrobe. When Yue Jiuling used to live with her, she would sometimes help her organize her wardrobe because she couldn't stand her laziness.

"Honestly, if I weren't used to being a mother hen, I wouldn't even bother with you."

As Yue Jiuling tidied her clothes, she recalled the times she used to clean up after Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing when they made a mess at home. She felt miserable, not only being a maid at home but also having to be a maid at her colleague's house.

"Hehe~ It's okay, I'll treat you to dinner when I get paid~"

Bai Xinyu, who was helping fold the clothes, said, "But I probably won't have time lately, since the case isn't closed yet~"

"Yeah, there's a lot to do."

Yue Jiuling had just finished tidying up the wardrobe when she saw Bai Xinyu already lazily looking at her phone. She slapped Bai Xinyu in annoyance and said, "Slacking off again? Is this your house or mine?"

"No, Jiuling, I was talking to Xiaowen, the subordinate that Lao Wen brought over before."

Bai Xinyu explained to Yue Jiuling, "Didn't we say last time that we were going to find a nanny for his younger brother Xiao Shen? One of my clansmen was also looking for work in the human world, so I introduced her to him. Now Xiao Wen is thanking me, saying that the clansman is taking very good care of his brother."

"Oh, I see. It's good that someone can take care of him. After all, that child is quite pitiful."

After listening, Yue Jiuling nodded and said, "Alright, are you done talking? If you're done, hurry up and pack up. I want to go back to sleep. Seeing you here gives me a headache."

"Hehe, you're here. Sigh, I told you to stay here, but you wouldn't listen. Honestly."

Bai Xinyu put her phone away and went over to help.

With Yue Jiuling's help, Bai Xinyu's dormitory was quickly tidied up, and then Yue Jiuling went back to her own home.

After returning home, Yue Jiuling didn't miss her divided soul as much as before. She was just a little worried about their safety, but after not sensing anything bad about them, she wasn't so concerned anymore.
