Yue Jiuling only waited for the divided souls to return when she went out for a late-night snack.
"Jiuling, guess what we did today?"
Yue Jiuxing sidled up to Yue Jiuling, grabbing at the egg pancake on the table with her unwashed hands while asking Yue Jiuling a question.
When Yue Jiuling saw the dirty paw, she smacked her hand with her chopsticks and said, "I don't care where you went today, go wash your hands first, or you won't get any food!"
"Emmm, okay."
After being hit, Yue Jiuxing withdrew her claws and watched helplessly as Yue Jiuling devoured the egg pancake in one bite before she went to wash her hands, looking aggrieved.
Yue Jiu Nian sat next to Yue Jiu Ling. She had already washed her hands clean and was eating a slice of lean meat with her chopsticks next to Yue Jiu Jie: "Oh, I'm so tired. Jiu Ling, you don't know how many places we went to today."
"Didn't you say you were going to an amusement park? You went somewhere else instead?"
Yue Jiuling asked curiously. She remembered that when they called each other before, they clearly said they were at the amusement park. How did they end up somewhere else?
"But you deserve to be tired. You don't have to come along."
Yue Jiuling said, "As long as you don't go, the two of them naturally won't dare to run too far on their own."
Yue Jiu Nian looked at Yue Jiu Ling with a hint of helplessness and said, "Do you really think it's a good idea not to go with them? You know how annoying they are~"
Yue Jiu Nian expressed her distress. It turned out that after they came out of the amusement park, they were preparing to go back. However, Yue Jiu Yue saw a tourist attraction in a nearby scenic area on her phone and insisted on going there, otherwise she would never want to come back.
There was no other way; in order to keep those two troublemakers from being so bothersome, Yue Jiu Nian, Yue Jiu Jie, and Yue Jiu Zai accompanied them to that tourist attraction, and they've been there ever since before they finally came back.
Yue Jiujie, holding a broccoli, said, "Hey~ the tour group members have all left, but these girls still won't leave. They insist on going bungee jumping and riding cable cars. Isn't it more fun to jump up and down by yourself? They have to do other people's things. The boss was about to get off work when he saw a cable car start moving by itself. He was almost scared to death, thinking there was a malfunction."
After Yue Jiu Jie finished complaining, it was Yue Jiu Zai's turn. Yue Jiu Zai also sighed, "Yeah, the boss has already closed the gates on the tracks, but Jiu Xing still opens them to drive around. Don't you think she's incredibly annoying?"
Listening to her friends' complaints, Yue Jiuling said she understood and knew they had worked hard, but she still said, "In that case, I suggest you don't take them out to play next time. You know, complaining to me won't do any good, because I'm exhausted too."
"What's there to be so mentally exhausted about?"
Just then, Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue, who had already washed their paws, returned. Yue Jiuyue even heard Yue Jiuling say something about being tired.
She asked curiously, "Jiuling, Jiuling, are you too busy with work and feeling mentally exhausted? Why don't you quit your job and go have some fun to relax?"
“Yeah, if you’re too tired, then quit. We had so much fun going out today, you should have come with us.”
The Nine Stars of the Moon also speak of this.
"No, you guessed wrong. I'm not tired from work, I'm just extremely tired from facing you all, do you understand?"
Yue Jiuling thought these two troublemakers were really making wild guesses, and they couldn't even guess right. She looked at them with disdain and teased, "By the way, it's rare for you two to be so considerate of me and even know to let me relax~"
Realizing that Yue Jiuling was disliking them, Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing were quite unhappy. Yue Jiuyue sat down and said, "Hmph, I finally wanted to show you some concern, and you treat me like this, hmph~"
Yue Jiuxing pouted and said, "That's right, you deserve to be so tired. We're not playing with you anymore, hmph!"
"Oh dear, you're getting temperamental with me now, aren't you? Want a beating?"
Yue Jiuling was both angry and amused when she looked at them. They did nothing but cause trouble all day long, and they had such bad tempers. She wondered who they learned it from. Yue Jiuling thought to herself, "It's definitely not me. I'm not like that."
"Okay, hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, go back quickly. I'm exhausted after playing all day."
Yue Jiu Nian, with a char siu bao in her mouth, urged everyone to eat. Seeing that someone was about to get beaten up, she quickly changed the subject and eased the tension.
Yue Jiuling looked at her several divided souls and felt a headache coming on. She thought for a moment and then said, "I might be a little busy lately. You can come with me, or you can go out and have fun on your own or stay at home, but the only condition is that you are not allowed to cause trouble, understand?"
"Okay, we understand."
Yue Jiuzai, Yue Jiujie, and Yue Jiunian all indicated that they understood, only Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue were still sulking with their heads down, until Yue Jiujie gave them each a flick on the forehead, then they grumbled and replied, "Okay~"
In fact, Yue Jiuling doesn't have high expectations for her divided souls. She usually allows them to go out and play. It's just that she's been a bit busy lately, and some strange cases have occurred in the human realm, so she's a little worried about them.
"I'm doing this for your own good. Right now you're just wandering around like ordinary ghosts. The human world is so chaotic right now, be careful not to get caught. Although ordinary people can't catch you, you still need to be careful."
