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 Seventy-Eight: Arrested

Greedy Wolf followed a group of black snakes out of the secret cave and headed towards Qingcheng. He watched Qingcheng's retreating figure from afar and muttered mockingly, "Hmph, Qingcheng Demon King? If you hadn't been coveted for that face, would you still be alive?"

Although Tanlang disliked Qingcheng, he dared not disobey the orders of the two-headed water dragon. He knew that he had to bring Qingcheng back today, so he deliberately appeared in front of Qingcheng to seduce her.

Qingcheng was using a tree branch to clear a path through the mountains. This place was far too remote and not fun at all. Ordinary people would never come here. Right now, he was just thinking about how Tanlang would appear soon so he could catch him and leave.

But just as he was thinking that Tanlang would appear soon, Tanlang really did appear, because the traitor Tanlang suddenly appeared behind him and called out to him!

"Demon King, are you looking for me?"

Startled by the sudden shout, Qingcheng turned around and saw Tanlang's face, which he knew all too well. He widened his eyes in surprise and exclaimed, "Holy crap! You traitor! I've finally found you!"

As Qingcheng spoke, he immediately went to grab Tanlang. While attacking Tanlang, he angrily cursed, "Damn it, you despicable traitor! Since I ascended the throne, have I ever oppressed your wolf clan? I believe I have treated you well, but I never expected you to dare to rebel!"

Tanlang's mission this time was to capture Qingcheng and bring her back to report, so he didn't intend to actually fight her. While deliberately being chased and beaten by Qingcheng, he led her into a trap. By the time Qingcheng noticed the strange smell of snakes nearby, it was too late, because she had already fallen into a large, enchanted pit.

"Hmph! You traitor! I never expected you to team up with other monsters to deal with me. You're shameless!"

Qingcheng knew that Tanlang must have brought other monsters with him, and thought he was doomed. He was trying to find a way to escape the large pit when, before he could even get out, he was surrounded by a group of black snakes that suddenly appeared, and then he was bitten on the butt!

"Ugh! How could you bite my butt?!"

Qingcheng felt wronged and covered her buttocks, trying to stand up and chase away the snakes, but before she could stand up, everything went black, and she fainted from the poison.

The two-headed water dragon, who had been monitoring everything from inside the secret cave, was also very unhappy. He angrily cursed, "You idiots! Who gave you permission to bite his butt?! He's your future wife!"

When Tanlang saw that Qingcheng had fainted from poisoning, he jumped into the large pit and carried her out. His movements were so rough that it looked like he was about to throw her out. That's right, Tanlang really hated this beautiful demon king because he, being a straight man, thought it was wrong for a man to be too beautiful!

After Qingcheng was captured, Qiyou was unaware of it. However, when he realized he couldn't contact Qingcheng, he discovered that something terrible had happened: he had lost the Demon King of the Demon Realm!

City C

Today is the most stressful day for high school seniors across the country, because the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) is about to begin!

Yue Jiu Nian was woken up early in the morning by Huang Qing. She sighed as she looked at her schoolbag, which had been prepared the night before, because she couldn't understand why everyone was so nervous about her exam.

Jiang Hu and Liu Zhan were checking the things they needed to prepare for the exam. He looked at Yue Jiu Nian's schoolbag and Liu Zhan's schoolbag, muttering, "Admission ticket, got it; pen, got it too; and ID card, brought it..."

Yue Jiu Nian found it funny to see Jiang's father's expression. She picked up her schoolbag and said, "Dad, why are you so nervous? I'm not nervous at all."

Mr. Jiang glared at Yue Jiu Nian and said, "I'm just worried that you'll bring me back a bunch of failing grades again."

When Mr. Jiang recalled the test paper that Yue Jiunian had brought home a few days ago, his face turned green again. He really couldn't believe that Yue Jiunian's grades could be so bad. She had been doing very well before transferring schools, so how did she become a poor student now?

"Haha~ Sis, actually everyone is worried that you won't perform well again."

Liu Zhan chuckled to himself. He was there when Yue Jiu Nian brought the test paper home that day, and he saw how shocked everyone was when they saw the scores.
