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 Twenty-Three Conversation

I'm leaving. I'm not going to school anymore. You should expel me.

Yue Jiu Nian, who had run away before dawn, was already on her way back to J City. She was sending a message to Yue Jiu Ling: Jiu Ling, I finally escaped that horrible school, ahahaha, get ready to welcome me.

Yue Jiuling hadn't gotten up yet, so naturally she didn't see the message and couldn't reply to it.

However, Yue Jiu Nian didn't care about not getting a response. She was in a great mood because after escaping the suffocating school, she felt that the outside world was really wonderful!

Although she had only been to school for one day, that one day almost drove Yue Jiu Nian crazy. For a demon who was used to freedom, going to school was just too terrifying!

However, after Yue Jiunian 'ran away from home', the Jiang family, unable to find her, actually called the police. So, under the policy that you need your ID card to buy tickets anywhere, Yue Jiunian was found by several police officers as soon as she left the station and was escorted back to the Jiang family.

"Student, if you're under a lot of academic pressure, you can find ways to relieve it. If you have a bad relationship with your family, you can communicate with them properly. Don't run away from home again, it's very dangerous."

These were the words a policeman said to Yue Jiunian when he sent her back to the Jiang family. However, Yue Jiunian listened to him with a dark expression on her face.

Back at the Jiang family home, Yue Jiu Nian angrily said to the people who came to greet her, "What's wrong with you all? I left, so why did you bring me back? Do you know how much this has delayed my important business?"

Jiang Hu was initially happy to see Yue Jiunian return, but he became angry upon hearing her words. He angrily retorted, "What do you mean by 'just leave'? You are my daughter. Do you think I would leave you out there alone? There are so many bad people out there. What would we do if something happened to you?"

Yue Jiu frowned as she listened to Jiang Hu finish speaking, then turned to leave, saying, "My life or death is none of your business. That's it."

When Jiang Hu saw Yue Jiu's attitude, he was furious. What was wrong with this child? Wasn't she quite obedient before? How could she suddenly become like this?

Huang Qing and Jiang Hai didn't know what was wrong with Yue Jiu Nian, and they both wanted to call her back.

"Niannian, don't go."

"Niannian, what's wrong with you?"

Yue Jiu Nian got annoyed by their shouts from behind and actually felt a little soft-hearted. To be honest, for an old monster who had lived alone for thousands of years, the feeling of suddenly having 'family' caring for him was quite different.

However, Yue Jiu thought that she was not human. Although she wanted someone to care about her, she had her own things to do and simply didn't have time to feel these so-called 'family affection' and care.

So, after getting a little impatient with their shouts, Yue Jiu Nian suddenly stomped one foot and leaped into the air. Then, to the astonishment of Jiang Hu, Huang Qing, Jiang Hai, and the servants, she flew onto the villa's wall and, following the wall, 'walked' up to the roof!

Yue Jiu Nian stood on the rooftop of a five-story building and shouted at them, her eyes filled with contempt: "What a joke! With my abilities, would I get into trouble outside?"

After Yue Jiu finished speaking, she spread her arms and lightly jumped down from the top floor, then went into the house. The group of people who had been staring in disbelief outside finally came to their senses and all followed her inside.

Yue Jiu Nian knew it was time to have a proper talk with the Jiang family. Otherwise, the police would be called as soon as she left, which was too troublesome. She still needed to use this body, so she should try to avoid trouble as much as possible.

After Jiang Hu and the others came in, Yue Jiu Nian spoke up. Her tone was faint and a little sad as she said, "Dad, there's something I haven't told you yet. The martial arts I just demonstrated were all taught to me by my master. I'm leaving because I need to find my master. I can't go to school anymore, so I'm very sorry."

Although Jiang Hu was surprised by Yue Jiu's martial arts skills, he was still clear-headed. He asked, puzzled, "Why? Do you really have to leave your father and family?"

"Yes, actually I'm doing this for your own good. My destiny is that of a cursed lone star, which is specifically meant to bring misfortune to my family. If I continue to live with you, it will kill you. My mother is a prime example."

Hearing Yue Jiu Nian say this, Jiang Hu was already somewhat convinced, but then he suddenly thought of something and said, "But if that's the case, shouldn't your mother have died a long time ago? But she only died recently."

Yue Jiu Nian was suddenly proven wrong. Her storytelling paused for a moment, and then she wiped her face hypocritically and said, "Yes, nothing happened before because I was still young. My master said that after I turned sixteen, my fate would become stronger and stronger, which is why my mother was killed by me..."

Jiang Hu realized that Yue Jiu Nian was already over sixteen years old, so he believed her.

In the past, Jiang Hu would never have believed in such things, but after the incident with the woman in red, he now believes in all kinds of ghosts.
