"What?! The Demon King got married? What's going on? Jiu Ling, explain yourself quickly!" Bai Xinyu said, her face full of surprise.

Upon hearing this news, everyone present was shocked and bewildered, and of course, they were also very curious to know the truth.

Yue Jiuling reached out and touched Xiaobaicai, who was also shocked but with a touch of sadness, and said, "Oh dear, Cai Cai, just give up on that idiot Qingcheng. He's not right for you."

Yue Jiuling knew that Xiaobaicai really liked Qingcheng. Of course, Bai Xinyu also liked Qingcheng, but her liking was different. She only liked good-looking people. She would like anyone who was good-looking. To put it bluntly, she was a fangirl.

Everyone knew about Xiaobaicai's feelings for Qingcheng, so they all comforted her. After seeing that Xiaobaicai wasn't so heartbroken, Yue Jiuling said, "Here's what happened: the Demon King was ambushed and captured by a traitor, and his spiritual power was sealed. We couldn't find Qingcheng then, so we had to ask our connections in the God Realm for help. Unexpectedly, a God Lord actually came down from the God Realm, and he was even engaged to Qingcheng! So..."

Yue Jiuling told the gossipy group everything, and then comforted Xiaobaicai, saying, "Caicai, if you're looking for a partner, you should look for someone else. The Demon King is a herbivore, and you're a vegetable, so you two aren't suitable to be together."

Although Little Cabbage understood this, he was still a little sad. He said sullenly, "Okay, actually I've already started learning to knit sweaters with Sister Xinyu. I was even thinking of giving them to Lord Demon King when I finished, but it seems I won't need them now. Sigh~"

Seeing Xiaobaicai like this, Mu Xiaoyi was immediately overcome with maternal love. She tenderly patted Xiaobaicai's head and said, "It's okay. You can knit sweaters for a more suitable partner later, or you can knit for us if that doesn't work out."

"That's right, you can knit for your brothers if you're willing."

Ye Dongfeng also said with a smile.

Hidden in the shadows, he poured a little wine for Little Cabbage and said, "Come on, drink this wine with your brother, and you won't be sad anymore."

Yue Jiuling looked at the wine and said with some unease, "No, Concealment, isn't it a bit inappropriate for Xiaobaicai's body to drink alcohol? What if he can't drink?"

Bai Xinyu also said, "That's right, don't let me teach bad people to stay hidden."

Upon hearing this, Yinni immediately took the wine back and said apologetically, "Yes, I don't know if vegetables can be drunk with alcohol, so it's better not to drink them."

Little Cabbage knew everyone was concerned about him, so he smiled and said, "Oh, I just broke up with my boyfriend, it's not that big of a deal, you don't need to worry~"

Seeing that Xiaobaicai finally stopped crying and started smiling, everyone felt relieved and continued eating and drinking. They also took the opportunity to tell Yue Jiuling, who had just returned, about the new case.

Yue Jiuling, biting her juice straw, looked at everyone and said, "Oh, so there's a new case. No wonder you guys are still here eating hot pot instead of leaving get off work."

Ye Dongfeng nodded and said, "Well, we originally planned to have dinner out, but Director Yu said he was going home and wouldn't go out. And since we didn't want to order fast food, we just ordered hot pot delivery."

Yue Jiuling laughed and said, "Hey~ it seems I'm lucky. I was originally planning to go straight home when I came back, but then I remembered my phone was dead, and the charger was in the office, so I came back. Otherwise, if I had gone straight home, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy this delicious hot pot!"

Bai Xinyi looked at Yue Jiuling's phone and said, "So it was out of battery. No wonder I couldn't get through to you when I called you before, and your phone was off."

Yue Jiuling actually has two phones: the old one she's currently using, and the new one that Yue Jiunian gave her.

The charger she left in the office was for her old phone, because the charger for the new phone is different from the old one. Otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to come back for the charger; she could have just used the charger for the new phone.

Now that she knew there was a new task, and since she was back, Yue Jiuling decided not to leave tonight and would work overtime with everyone.

She wasn't going back, but she still needed to tell the other souls in her house, so Yue Jiuling sent a message to Yue Jiunian and the others to explain the situation.

In the chat group:

Yue Jiuling: Hey, I have an announcement to make. I won't be going home tonight, so don't wait for me. I have to work overtime.

Yue Jiuxing was the first to see the message and the fastest to reply: Overtime? Didn't you say you were going back to get a charger? Why did it suddenly become overtime?

Yuejiu Nian: That's right, didn't you say you were going to buy us late-night snacks? How did it turn into working overtime?

September: Exactly, what about our late-night snacks?

Yue Jiuling knew they were only thinking about that late-night snack. Speechless, she typed: "There's a new case that suddenly came up, and I want to help out. As for the late-night snack, Jiu Nian, you can take the two of them out to eat. Remember, don't go too far. I might be back soon, and I didn't bring my keys."

Yue Jiu Nian: Okay, then we'll go out now. Be careful at work.

After giving her instructions, Yue Jiuling joined the others in a hearty meal and drink, as they would be going out to work in a few hours, so they wanted to eat their fill.

While eating, Yin Ni suddenly thought of Ya Zi. He wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "Hey, by the way, Jiu Ling, do you know when Long Er is coming back? He's been on leave for several days now. I sent him a message this morning, but he hasn't replied yet."
