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 Eighty-Eight Hot Pot

"Qingcheng, Lord Hongyan, if there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now. Bye-bye~"

Seeing Yue Jiuling and the others running so fast, Qingcheng pouted and said, "Why are you running so fast? You could at least chat with me a little longer!"

"What does Qingcheng want to talk about? Actually, I can talk to you about it too~"

Hearing what the person next to her said, Qingcheng said irritably, "My Lord, I don't think we have anything to talk about. The only thing we can talk about is canceling the engagement. What? Are you willing to cancel the engagement with me?"

"That's impossible."

Suddenly, Lord Hongyan picked up Qingcheng and flew into the sky. He said in a calm tone, as if in a discussion, "However, we can talk about how the wedding should be held, or what kind of wedding you would like?"

Qingcheng, now devoid of spiritual power, was a little frightened by being suddenly lifted into the air, but he calmly said, "Is it really impossible to cancel? Actually, I have several very beautiful cousins ​​in my Qingling clan, and they're all of marriageable age. Would you like to consider it?"

"No, I only want you."

Lord Hongyan said, "Once we reach the God Realm, I will help you restore your spiritual power, but you must marry me."

Qingcheng wasn't worried about where Hongyan God was taking him at first; at worst, he would just leave this place. But now that he heard about going back to the God Realm to get married, he immediately became anxious. He said nervously, "Um, I think you should send me back to the Demon Realm first. Even if we're going to have a wedding, we should wait for my father and mother to come back. It's too hasty now."

After hearing what he said, Lord Hongyan realized that what he was doing was not in accordance with the rules, so he went to the Demon Realm. He said, "You are right. Then I will wait with you in the Demon Realm for my parents-in-law to return first."

Hearing this, Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little worried. Although the deity before him was handsome and highly skilled, his feelings for him weren't strong enough to warrant marriage. Therefore, he somewhat disagreed with this arranged marriage. However, in the demon realm, if someone broke off an engagement at will, it would cause great trouble for their family. So, Qingcheng was quite conflicted. Although he was now the Demon King, he couldn't just break off an engagement without careful consideration.

At 6 p.m., the management office staff usually leave work at this time, but today, none of the colleagues left the office to go home. Instead, they all gathered together to have hot pot!

Wow, eating hot pot in an air-conditioned room is so wonderful!

Bai Xinyu said with a satisfied look as she took a bite of a slice of beef.

Hidden also said, "Exactly! Luckily, we didn't order any food in the end, but instead ordered this hot pot. The staff at this restaurant are really nice; they're generous with all the ingredients. Look at this sliced ​​beef, tsk tsk tsk~ It smells so good~"

This was Xiaobaicai's first time eating hot pot with everyone. He rarely eats these kinds of things; he usually just drinks water or eats some vegetables. But this time, he fell in love with the hot pot because the vegetables tasted especially delicious with the hot pot sauce, which made him very happy!

"Come on, let's have some drinks, hide, and have a toast."

Ye Dongfeng clinked glasses with Yinni while holding a bottle of beer, while Bai Xinyu and Mu Xiaoyi, the two girls, didn't drink alcohol. They preferred to drink juice, and Xiaobaicai drank plain water directly.

Just as everyone was happily enjoying the air conditioning and hot pot, Yue Jiuling suddenly returned. Before she even arrived, her voice preceded her. Everyone could hear her surprised voice from afar: "Wow~ You guys are really something, still working and having a big meal together. By the way, is there any for me?"

Yue Jiuling could smell the delicious aroma when she was on the first floor. When she got to the second floor, she ran straight to the dining table and exclaimed, "Wow! It's hot pot!"

The people who were eating immediately greeted Yue Jiuling warmly when they saw that she had returned, inviting her to sit down and eat with them. Bai Xinyu added bowls and chopsticks for Yue Jiuling, saying, "Oh, Jiuling, you're finally back! Come on, come on, let's eat together."

As she set out the bowls and chopsticks for Yue Jiuling, she said, "Speaking of which, now that you're back, does that mean the King of Allure has been found?"

"Yes, we've found it! Wow, this tripe is so delicious!" Yue Jiuling picked up a piece of freshly cooked tripe and put it in her mouth. She said, "By the way, I have some good news for you all. Our Demon Realm's Alluring Queen is finally getting married!"
