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...
In the celestial realm, a long-haired man dressed in elaborate ancient attire stood at the entrance of a magnificent, golden palace shrouded in celestial mist, gazing down at the mortal world beneath layers of clouds. He seemed to be searching for something, but after a long time, he couldn't find what he was looking for. Finally, he leaped down, plunging into the mortal world below the thirty-third heaven...
Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Palace on the other side, a handsome man in ancient attire was standing in front of the Heavenly Emperor being scolded.
The majestic Heavenly Emperor angrily puffed out his beard and glared at the man, saying:
"My dear nephew, your father and I are old friends. I've practically watched you grow up. How could you be so reckless this time? You let a great demon go just to capture a minor demon. What a mess you've made! Your father sent you to serve in the Heavenly Realm so you could train and become a god as soon as possible. And what's the result?"
The man was furious after being reprimanded by the Heavenly Emperor. His temper was too short to bear it any longer, and suddenly he transformed from human form into beast form, a ferocious beast that resembled a leopard but was not quite a leopard. He roared and was about to pounce on the Heavenly Emperor to bite him!
"How dare you insult me! I am the most powerful demon! You are not allowed to insult me like that!"
Inside the main hall, the guards standing on either side immediately rushed to protect the Heavenly Emperor upon seeing someone attempting to attack him. The Heavenly Emperor, enraged beyond measure, pointed at the man and shouted:
"Hey, you've gone too far! You get upset just because I said a few words to you? Are you trying to rebel?! Guards! Ya Zi is incompetent and unruly. Send him down to the mortal realm for training. He's not allowed to return to the heavens until the notorious Blood Demon is brought back!"
"Yes, sir!"
Although the ferocious beast that had transformed into a beast was very vicious, there were too many guards in the Heavenly Palace. No matter how fierce it was, it was outnumbered and was quickly captured by the guards and thrown down to the human world.
It was already morning when Yue Jiuling returned to the human world. The heavy rain had stopped. She had just returned to the staff dormitory and opened the door when Bai Xinyu's voice came from the living room, her voice filled with curiosity:
"You're finally back! You've been out all night. Where did you go?"
As Yue Jiuling changed her shoes, she said, "It's nothing, I just went out to meet an old friend."
Bai Xinyu was very curious about Yue Jiuling, her friend whom she was meeting for the entire night. While trimming her nails, she kept asking:
"What kind of friend is so important that you've been staying out all night?"
Yue Jiuling changed into slippers and went into the kitchen. While washing the dishes and preparing breakfast, she said casually, "It's alright. Actually, I just went back to the demon realm."
"Oh, so you've returned to the demon realm. No wonder."
Bai Xinyu only showed a look of sudden realization when she heard Yue Jiuling say that she had returned to the demon realm.
Yue Jiuling is a black cat demon whose lifespan is unknown. She possesses things that other demons do not have, such as nine souls with different personalities that can transform into physical clones.
Thousands of years ago, Yue Jiuling was a celestial being. Because she was too playful, she ran off to the demon realm during the war between the celestial and demon realms. As a result, she was framed by the demon king, Xinmo, and was hunted down by both the celestial and demon realms. During her recovery, she hid in the human world to recuperate, but in the process, she lost her divided soul and body.
Every time Yue Jiuling thinks back to the day she awoke after thousands of years of slumber, she feels an overwhelming sense of shame. She felt like a lost soul, appearing dazed and confused in an unfamiliar market, standing in front of a fish stall, and that bewildered feeling made her feel incredibly embarrassed.
At that time, she was like an ordinary silly cat, squatting barefoot on the dirty ground, her eyes shining as she stared at a fish stall in the market, even drooling over the lively, fresh fish.
After Yue Jiuling slowly regained consciousness, she was horrified to discover that the human world had undergone earth-shattering changes!
The architecture, clothing, lifestyles, and even modes of transportation in the human world all broadened Yue Jiuling's horizons!
She had no idea where she was in the human world, nor what she had experienced during her slumber that had caused her body and her divided soul to disappear, leaving her a wandering, lonely spirit...
In the end, in order to regain her body and her divided soul, Yue Jiuling had no choice but to find a human body that had recently died and possess it to return to life.
Recalling the experience of being resurrected in another body, Yue Jiuling wanted to wipe away a tear. Back then, in order to find a suitable, healthy, and worry-free body, she secretly hid in a morgue for several days and finally found a female corpse that no one had claimed.
After being resurrected, Yue Jiuling spent a few days as a pitiful beggar on the street until she met Bai Xinyu, a white cat demon, and then joined the Human Realm Metaphysics Management Office.
It turns out that a thousand years later, the human realm, the demon realm, and the underworld have cooperated. Monsters from the demon realm can come to live in the human realm. As long as they abide by the rules and regulations in the human realm and have ID cards, household registration books, residence permits, etc., they can be recognized and protected by the human realm's metaphysical management office.
In fact, the Metaphysics Management Office in the human realm is a place jointly managed by metaphysicians from the human realm, monsters from the demon realm, and ghosts from the underworld, who work together to maintain peace in the three realms.
Of course, if the monsters do not follow the rules and do something against the regulations, the management office also has the right to arrest them or humanely destroy them, depending on the severity of the matter.
Bai Xinyu was one of the management envoys sent by the demon realm. Bai Xinyu thought Yue Jiuling was a half-demon because she had the aura of both humans and demons. In addition, the management office was recruiting employees at the time, so she invited Yue Jiuling to join the management office.
Yue Jiuling, who was mistaken for a half-demon, was in a terrible state at the time, poor and hungry. In order to have a place to eat and stay, she agreed to Bai Xinyu's invitation.
And so, Yue Jiuling and Bai Xinyu, who were colleagues and roommates, had unknowingly been working together at the management office for almost a year.
Over the course of more than a year, Yue Jiuling gradually came to understand this new human world, and even grew to like and adapt to life here, thriving and having a great time in the human world.
Of course, she hadn't forgotten what she was supposed to do because of her indulgence in frivolous pursuits; she still remembered that she was going to find her body and her divided soul.
Even when he has free time, he will return to the demon realm to reconnect with his old friends, although some of his old friends still have such strange and incomprehensible tastes.
