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...
"Ha~ You think you can make a move on me with your looks?"
After Yue Jiu Nian chased the ghost away, she planned to rest again. She guessed that the ghost probably wouldn't dare to come back, because even without her intervention, Shuang'er's aura alone was enough to frighten the ghost.
What Yue Jiu Nian didn't expect was that her calculation was wrong this time, because she was woken up again not long after falling asleep again, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that she was surrounded by ghosts!
"What are you trying to do?!"
Surrounded by numerous ghosts, Yue Jiu Nian felt no fear. She was only very impatient because her sleep had been disturbed, which made her extremely annoyed!
Those ghosts all seemed to be wandering spirits from the neighborhood. No one knew why they had gotten on this train, but when Yue Jiu Nian saw that they were all looking at her with greedy eyes, she knew that she definitely wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep.
The train was quiet; most people were asleep at this hour. Yue Jiu Nian saw that everyone in her dimly lit carriage was asleep, so she got up.
She cast a sedative spell on the people inside the carriage, and then prepared to begin her violent enforcement of the law to rid the people of this menace.
A ghost saw Yue Jiunian stand up and immediately stretched out its ghostly claws to grab her. However, before it could get close to its target, Yue Jiunian grabbed it by the neck and threw it out of the car window!
When the other ghosts saw their companion being knocked through the window, they all surrounded him, intending to launch a group attack. However, they underestimated Yue Jiu Nian's fighting power and were quickly thrown out of the train!
"Ha~ Overestimating yourself."
"Hmm~ This talisman looks a bit like a life-extending talisman. Did you find it on the street?"
Mu Xiaoyi looked at the yellow paper talisman that Yue Jiuling had given her and said, "As far as I know, this talisman has been banned for a long time. If someone uses it, that person must be a person with evil intentions."
Yue Jiuling was sharing a durian with Ya Zi when she heard this and said, "Oh, so it's another forbidden technique from your human realm."
Ever since the two of them ate a big durian together, they've been eating durian frequently in the office. Luckily, none of their colleagues in the management office dislike durian, otherwise they would have been reported long ago.
Ya Zi also asked, "Will this curse pose any danger to the person who finds it?"
Mu Xiaoyi returned the talisman to Yue Jiuling and said, "The person who cast this spell actually wanted to borrow someone's lifespan, that is, to borrow the remaining lifespan of that person. It could be borrowing one or two years, or it could be borrowing all of it. It depends on how wicked the person who cast the spell is. However, since you picked up this talisman, it's not very useful."
"Why is it useless? Do I not have any lifespan to lend him?" Yue Jiuling was very puzzled.
Mu Xiaoyi said with a laugh, "You're not human. The lifespan of a demon is different from that of an ordinary person. The lifespan of an ordinary person is controlled by the Book of Life and Death in the underworld, but the lifespan of a demon is normally beyond anyone's control. A demon's lifespan depends on his cultivation. The more powerful his cultivation, the longer he can live. Do you think he has the ability to borrow your lifespan?"
Yue Jiuling understood after hearing this: "Okay, I get it. Then this curse is essentially useless to me."
"Yes, that's right. But the person who cast the curse on you will probably come looking for you when they find that their curse has failed. Carry this talisman with you for the next few days, catch them when they show up, and hand them over to receive a reward."
Bad people like these who use forbidden techniques to harm others have always been suppressed and arrested. If they are caught in the act, they can be rewarded when handed over to the higher-ups in the Metaphysics Management Office.
When Yue Jiuling heard Mu Xiaoyi say that the curse was ineffective against her, she wanted to tear up the talisman. However, after hearing that there would be a reward for catching and handing over bad guys, she immediately put the talisman away.
She said with an air of righteous indignation, "Yes, I will be careful. For the sake of the country and the people, I must catch him!"
Ya Zi knew that Yue Jiuling was so enthusiastic because of the money, so he teased her with a smile, "Are you sure you're doing this for the country and the people? I feel like you're just after the bounty."
Yue Jiuling said with a serious expression, "No, you misunderstood me. I am truly thinking of the people and the country!"
