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...
When they arrived at the elevator, Yue Jiu Nian pretended to be very tired, put all the things she was carrying into the elevator, and said, "Ugh, I'm so tired, I can finally rest for a bit."
Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue also put their things into the elevator, then revealed faces that looked exhausted.
"Ding~"
The elevator quickly arrived at their floor. Yue Jiu Nian, carrying her things, reached into her pockets to look for her keys, but she couldn't find them anywhere. This gave her a bit of a headache.
She said to Yue Jiuxing and the other two, "Tsk, check if there are any security cameras or anything here. If not, you can fly in. I can't find the key. I guess I lost it when I was getting my phone."
"Oh no, what are we going to do if we lose the key? Every household here has a security camera at their door. How are we going to fly?"
Yue Jiu Nian looked up at her surroundings and said, "Hey, you guys figure it out. Anyway, I'm going back to find the key. I don't know if someone has already picked it up, or if I can ever get it back."
As Yue Jiu Nian spoke, she put down what she was holding and went to take the elevator. She was going to look for the key where she had just passed by, while Yue Jiu Xing and Yue Jiu Yue stayed behind to figure out how to get home.
"Hey, do you think if I'm fast enough, those surveillance cameras won't be able to spot us?"
Yue Jiuxing took a bottle of cola out of the box and drank it. She said, "We can't just keep waiting here without a key."
Yue Jiuyue nodded and said, "I don't think the speed is going to work. How about we make the surveillance system malfunction for a minute?"
"That's fine. Actually, I think half a minute is enough, it doesn't even need to be a minute, hehe~"
Having come up with a plan, the two pretended to look for the key. Yue Jiuxing pretended to find the key and then opened the door, while Yue Jiuyue secretly snapped her fingers and used her spiritual power to disable the surveillance cameras in all the residents' homes for a few seconds. After those few seconds passed and the surveillance cameras returned to normal, Yue Jiuxing and the others had already moved all their belongings into the house.
"Phew~ This method is definitely more effective; now we don't have to be watchdogs anymore~"
Yue Jiuxing said happily, "By the way, ask Jiu Nian if she has found the key yet."
Yue Jiu Nian was retracing their steps to find the keys. It was already quite late, many shops were closed, and even the streetlights were dim. So, Yue Jiu Nian had to use her phone's flashlight to illuminate the way as she searched for the lost keys.
"Ugh, so annoying. I don't even know when I lost it. If only I had realized it was lost back then. Now that I'm back, I don't even know if I can find it anymore. It's so frustrating."
Yue Jiu Nian kept complaining and searching while holding her phone, but she couldn't find the key in many places. She was about to change direction and continue searching when an accident happened.
As she passed a manhole cover, some strange noises suddenly came from under it. As soon as Yue Jiu Nian heard the noises, she felt something was wrong, because she sensed a strange and evil aura under the manhole cover!
"Hmm? Is there something here?"
Yue Jiu Nian shone the light from her phone onto the manhole cover and discovered that it was moving slightly, as if something was about to come out from underneath.
Yue Jiu Nian squinted and raised an eyebrow: "Oh, you still want to come out, huh? I wonder what it is~"
Just after Yue Jiunian finished speaking, the manhole cover suddenly flew off the ground and headed straight for Yue Jiunian's face!
"Holy shit! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"
Yue Jiu Nian was startled by the movement of the manhole cover and quickly jumped aside to avoid it. Then she cursed at the hole without the cover, "You son of a bitch! Are you trying to disfigure me?!"
"Bang!"
The manhole cover landed on the ground not far after it flew off.
From the sewer opening, a small, black, soft, slug-like creature, about the size of an adult dog, slowly crawled out.
"Tsk~ What's that?"
Upon seeing this disgusting thing, Yue Jiu Nian asked curiously, "Hey, are you a slug spirit? Why do you look like this?"
"Aww~!"
Upon hearing Yue Jiu Nian's words, the slug suddenly opened its mouth wide, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and pounced on Yue Jiu Nian!
"Holy crap! Is it really okay for you to be so arrogant?!"
