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...
Yue Jiuling and Bai Xinyu are both cats, and they love to eat fish, so Yue Jiuling makes salted fish and white porridge for breakfast...
Actually, it's not that she can't cook, it's just that she's too lazy to do something so time-consuming right now. Their job today is very important: every few months they have to check the household registrations of the monsters living in the human world.
When Bai Xinyu sat down at the dining table and saw the salted fish and white porridge, she simply showed an expression of indifference; she had already gotten used to Yue Jiuling's laziness.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Yue Jiuling and Bai Xinyu arrived at their workplace, No. 111 Lihua Road, the Metaphysics Management Office, right on time.
Besides this metaphysical management office, there is also a street office, an industrial and commercial management office, and some other miscellaneous management offices on Lihua Road.
The entire street is lined with these offices, so the metaphysical management office, hidden in the most inconspicuous corner, has never been known to anyone.
"Beep! Work card."
When Yue Jiuling arrived at the management office on time and sat at her desk, all her colleagues had already started work.
There are six employees in the office, plus a department head. Three are from the demon realm, three are from the human realm, and one is from the underworld.
The demons are Yue Jiuling, Bai Xinyu, and a male demon named Yinni.
Meanwhile, the two people from the human realm were two young metaphysicians, a man and a woman. The man was a cultivator from a very famous sect named Ye Dongfeng.
The woman, named Mu Xiaoyi, also came from a prestigious family specializing in metaphysics.
The director is also a senior metaphysician in the human world, named Yu Shi.
As for the one in the underworld, he is actually a ghost messenger. However, ghost messengers rarely come to work. They just hold a position here and only come to the management office when there is something that needs their attention.
Yue Jiuling has been working here for quite some time and has become quite familiar with several of her colleagues. As soon as she sat down, she leaned back in her office chair and stretched.
"Ugh~ I really don't want to go to work, I just want to go out and have fun~"
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoyi, who was making instant milk tea nearby, squeezed in and said:
"Please, we're basically just coasting through our jobs these days, and all you think about is playing around. Do you think you're doing right by the salary you're getting? Do you think you're worthy of being a civil servant?"
That's right. The establishment of the management office was actually permitted by the state, and they were considered state civil servants.
"Exactly, you just clock in at work, and when you have nothing to do, you can sit there all day long, watching TV shows or playing games as you please. Aren't you satisfied?"
Ye Dongfeng, who lives next door, also felt that Yue Jiuling was too greedy.
"Well, that's true, but I prefer traveling and having more freedom."
Yue Jiuling still felt that this kind of life was not satisfactory.
Even Bai Xinyu couldn't stand Yue Jiuling anymore, and she rolled her eyes at Yue Jiuling:
"Come on, you want to go on a trip? You might as well just fly to the moon."
Hidden also said, "If you really feel bored, why don't you apply for a temporary post? You won't need to come to work after that, and we'll call you back when needed, but your salary will be reduced by one-third."
Upon hearing this idea, Yue Jiuling felt that a temporary post was perfect for her current situation, so she immediately jumped up and headed towards the director's office:
"That's fine, I'll apply for a temporary posting right now."
Her colleagues in the office were all dumbfounded, not knowing that Yue Jiuling had actually applied on a whim. They all stared in disbelief as she walked into the director's office.
"Knock knock knock~"
"Please come in."
The director of the management office is a bald old man who is nearly fifty years old, but he has a very good personality and is always smiling at everyone, so his colleagues in the management office all like him very much.
After entering the director's office, Yue Jiuling went straight to the point: "Director, I want to apply for a temporary post. Going to work every day is just too boring."
Director Yu smiled and looked at Yue Jiuling, saying, "You want to apply for a temporary post? That's fine, but your group needs to finish investigating this month's household registrations first. Once the work is done, I will approve your application."
Upon hearing Director Yu's approval of her application, Yue Jiuling immediately agreed excitedly: "Okay, I'll go out with Xinyu and the others to check the household registration now."
As Yue Jiuling spoke, she turned to run out, but Director Yu stopped her: "Hey, Jiuling, wait a minute, you need to take your household registration booklet."
"Oh, I almost forgot, I'm so happy, haha~"
Overjoyed, Yue Jiuling awkwardly turned around and took the monster information booklet that Director Yu had given her.
As Yue Jiuling emerged from the director's office with her notebook, she waved to Bai Xinyu and Yinni, who were still on the desk.
"Let's go, let's go out and get to work."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xinyu and Yinni followed Yue Jiuling away, while Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi waved goodbye from behind, saying, "Bye-bye~"
After leaving the management office, the three of them drove the management office's vehicle out of Lihua Road.
Hidden as the driver, Bai Xinyu and Yue Jiuling sat in the back seat of the car flipping through a file. As Bai Xinyu flipped through it, she asked Yue Jiuling:
"Jiuling, did you really apply to Lao Yu for a temporary post?"
Yue Jiuling nodded and said, "Yes, I applied. He said he would approve my application as long as the household registration is checked this time."
Yue Jiuling became particularly excited when she talked about this, as if she could go on a trip right away.
Hidden in the front of the car, he glanced at the rearview mirror and, seeing Yue Jiuling's excited expression, could only shake his head and say:
"Didn't you say before that you wanted to save money to buy a house? Why do you suddenly want to apply for a temporary post? You should know that the salary will be reduced if you are on temporary post."
"Yeah, yeah, why so suddenly?"
Bai Xinyu was also very curious about Yue Jiuling's changes.
Yue Jiuling thought for a moment and said, "I wanted to buy a house before because I heard that the staff dormitory was going to be moved, so I wanted to buy my own house. But now you see, if you want to buy a house in J City, which is full of prime locations, you can't afford it without several million."
Bai Xinyu agreed with her and nodded, saying, "That's right, housing prices are really too expensive now."
"So, after thinking about it, I decided it would be better to go on a trip."
Seeing that Bai Xinyu and the other person believed her words, Yue Jiuling felt relieved.
Actually, she wasn't really going on a trip; she was going to find her lost soul and body. She hadn't been in a hurry before because she had time, but now Yue Jiuling suspected that the Blood Demon from the Demon Realm had come to the Human Realm, so she wanted to find her lost soul and body as soon as possible.
