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-Nine: Getting on the Wrong Bus

"Oh, okay, then let's leave them be. But where are we going?"

Holding a local tourist map, Yue Jiuxing said, "This map shows that there are many tourist attractions in our city. Where should we go now?"

Yue Jiuling had prepared a map for them beforehand, so that the two of them wouldn't have trouble finding fun places.

Yue Jiuyue didn't know where to go first. She chewed on a bamboo skewer, looked at the geographical location on the map, and finally pointed randomly to a small punctuation mark and said, "Let's go with this. This seems to be a scenic spot."

"Okay, let's take the bus then. It says we need to take bus number 8 to get there."

Having decided on their destination, Yue Jiuxing put away the map, and then the two of them went hand in hand to find the bus stop.

The two people were taking the bus for the first time and had no idea how to ride it. After seeing a bus stop sign with bus number 8, they immediately ran to wait for the bus and then rushed onto it as soon as it arrived, without paying any attention to which direction the bus was going. It wasn't until the bus reached its final stop that the driver told them they had taken the wrong stop!

"Oh no, did we get on the wrong bus?"

Yue Jiuxing stared at the number on the bus with disbelief. She said, "Wait a minute, this is bus number 8. How could you have gotten on the wrong bus?"

The driver, a man in his fifties, smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't get on the wrong bus, I just got off at the wrong stop."

He pointed to a row of bus stops on the bus and said, "You should look at this when you get on the bus, and see which direction your stop is in, so you won't get on the wrong bus."

Looking at the station information above, Yue Jiuyue understood what was going on. She said helplessly, "Oh dear, this is our first time taking the bus by ourselves, so we don't know what to do."

Yue Jiuxing said anxiously, "What should we do? What should we do? We can't go back?"

The driver smiled when he saw them like this. He waved his hand and said, "No rush. Just wait a few more minutes, and my car will turn back. You can take another bus later."

"Oh, I see. Well then, let's wait a bit longer."

Yue Jiuyue was originally thinking that if she couldn't take the car back, she would use magic to fly back, but fortunately the driver said that the car would turn back later.

"Oh, it's all Jiuling's fault. She doesn't take the bus often, so none of us have learned how to take the bus."

Yue Jiuxing shifted the blame onto Yue Jiuling, completely unaware that she herself had also been careless.

"Ah Qiu~"

Yue Jiuling, who was working in the management office, suddenly sneezed. She rubbed her nose and said, "Hmm? That's strange. I don't have a cold, so why am I sneezing? Is someone talking about me behind my back?"

Bai Xinyu isn't learning flower carving today. She seems to have become obsessed with human knitting again. She's knitting a scarf with a ball of pink yarn and says, "Hey, who would scold you? If you think about someone, scold them, or you'll catch a cold. In the past, you could say maybe it was Long Er who scolded you, but now that you and Long Er are so close, why would he scold you? Maybe he just misses you, hahaha."

Ye Dongfeng stopped playing the game and looked up to tease, "Yeah, yeah, your relationship has really improved a lot now. You play together every day. People who don't know better would think you're a couple."

"Exactly! You used to fight the moment you met, but now you're inseparable. Hey, aren't you two the legendary bickering couple?"

Mu Xiaoyi also joined in the fun with a smile.

Yue Jiuling blushed at what these people were saying, and she also felt that her relationship with Ya Zi had indeed changed a lot recently. However, she still said speechlessly, "You guys are too much. We are colleagues and good friends now, and we have done so many missions together. What's wrong with our relationship getting a little better? Is there a problem with that? Honestly, I just sneezed. You gossipy people are just making things up."

After hearing everyone's comments, Xiao Baicai smiled and said, "Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with Brother Long and Sister Jiuling working together. Are you all overthinking it?"

Bai Xinyu pulled up a chair closer to Xiaobaicai and said, "Oh dear, Cai Cai, you don't understand. They weren't always on good terms; it's only recently that they've become so close, so we all suspect... hehe~"

Upon hearing this, Yue Jiuling snatched Xiaobaicai away and said, "Don't pay attention to these gossipy people. They just like to overthink things. You can't learn bad things from them."
