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 Sixty: The Big Foodie

"Oh, don't rush, wait two more days." Ya Zi knew that he had spent a lot of money on Yue Jiu Ling recently, and he felt very embarrassed. At the same time, he was also waiting for his salary to arrive.

The two started working while eating. Their job was to search for ghost gu near the school, but they started eating before they even began looking for it.

In a small shop selling scallion pancakes, a man and a teenage girl are running the business. The man is making scallion pancakes for customers, while the girl is serving milk tea to customers.

"Hello, here's your milk tea and scallion pancake."

The man handed the food he was holding to a customer, and after watching the customer leave, he said to the girl, "It's been almost a day, do you know you were wrong?"

The girl was the boy's sister. When she heard her brother's question, she chose not to answer and just kept her head down doing her own thing. However, you could still see her resentment in her eyes.

Seeing his sister like this, the man felt helpless. He said earnestly, "Little sister, I'm not saying you should turn yourself in or anything, but you have to know that what you did this time was wrong. Killing is wrong, let alone using ghost gu to kill. Father left the ghost gu to us so that we could protect ourselves, not to do bad things."

The girl looked up at the man and said, "I killed her to protect myself. She was a tattletale, always complaining to the teacher. When she saw my tattoo, she said she was going to complain to the teacher too. Didn't you say, brother, that our tattoos can't be discovered? So I had no choice but to kill her."

After hearing what the girl said, the man was at a loss for words. In the end, he could only say, "Okay, since you've already taken action, there's no saving her. But you should take leave from school for a while and not go to school. The school has already called the police, and I'm afraid they'll find out about you."

After hearing her brother's words, the girl said, "Brother, don't worry. I used ghost control techniques and ghost poison to control her suicide. Those people definitely won't be able to trace it back to me. They are just ordinary people, how could they know these things?"

The man sighed, picked up his cup, filled it with water, and drank: "Little sister, you must know that there are always people more capable than us. There are many people in this world who are more powerful than us. You must be careful."

The girl waved her hand impatiently and said dismissively, "Okay, I know, brother, you're so long-winded."

After finishing the grilled gluten, Ya Zi ate stinky tofu, and after that, he ate hot and sour noodles. His mouth never stopped moving the whole way, which made Yue Jiuling look at him frequently, making Ya Zi feel flustered.

"Jiuling, why are you staring at me like that? It's making me a little nervous."

Yue Jiuling stared at Ya Zi's belly, and said with a face full of curiosity, "Young Master Long, don't you feel full after eating so much? I remember I ordered the largest portions for you."

"Um, well, actually I've eaten so much and I'm still not full, hehe~" Ya Zi touched her belly and looked at Yue Jiuling's surprised eyes, and said a little embarrassedly, "Um, actually I only realized now that I have such a big appetite. I didn't know anything when I was fasting before."

Yue Jiuling stroked her chin, looking at Ya Zi from head to toe. She said, "Tsk tsk, we've known each other for almost two months now. You eat so much every day, how come I've never seen you gain weight? My goodness, are you always hungry?"

Ya Zi shook her head and said, "No, that's not true. I can usually eat my fill, but sometimes I'm not full. As for whether I've gained weight or not, I haven't paid attention. I think I've always looked the same."

Yue Jiuling looked at Ya Zi with envy: "Tsk tsk, I really envy you people who can eat whatever you want and not gain weight. Unlike us women, we have to worry about whether we will gain weight if we want to eat something. Sigh, it's just too difficult."

Ya Zi didn't really understand why those women kept talking about losing weight. He asked, "I don't understand why you want to lose weight. Isn't it good to have food to eat? Why is losing weight so hard?"

Yue Jiuling pouted and said, "Of course you don't understand. You're not fat. If we get fat, our figures will be bad and we'll become ugly. We won't be able to wear pretty clothes anymore, and then we'll have to buy new clothes and become beautiful. You see how troublesome that is?"

Ya Zi nodded as if he understood, but just as he was about to speak, the talismans they were carrying suddenly heated up!
