Because Yue Jiu Jie was truly hungry, she ate with a wolfish gusto. Biting into a chicken leg, she said to Ah Qing, "Oh dear, Ah Qing, you have no idea how miserable my life was in the human realm! I was locked in a coffin for so long!"
"Huh? Why? Weren't you working in the human world? Why are you locked up?"
Ah Qing was puzzled when she heard Yue Jiu Jie's words, because she remembered that she had seen Yue Jiu Ling not long ago, so why was she suddenly locked up?
Upon hearing what Ah Qing said, Yue Jiujie understood what was going on. In fact, Ah Qing couldn't really distinguish between them because they all looked exactly the same, so there were very few demons who could tell them apart.
In the demon realm, apart from Qingcheng and Qiyou, who are her close friends, there are many demons who can't distinguish Yue Jiuling from her other divided souls.
They only knew that Yue Jiuling could split her soul, but they couldn't tell who was who.
So, seeing that Ah Qing couldn't tell herself apart, Yue Jiu Jie wasn't angry. She just sighed and said, "Sigh~ Alright, let's talk about something else~"
"Sure, by the way, Sister Jiuling, why didn't you go see the Demon King this time? They must have told you when you came in that the Demon King hasn't visited our Pleasure Pavilion in a long time~"
Ah Qing tried to steer the conversation toward the Demon King of Allure so that Yue Jiujie would leave as soon as he was full. She didn't even expect Yue Jiujie to return her money, because she knew that Yue Jiuling either wouldn't rob her at all, or if she did, she wouldn't return it. This was also because Yue Jiuling had robbed her many times before.
Ah Qing completely misunderstood Yue Jiuling. In fact, it wasn't Yue Jiuling who robbed them of money, but the other divided souls. Yue Jiuling rarely came to Xunhuan Pavilion, and even when she did, it was because she had something to do with Qingcheng. She wouldn't rob Ah Qing of her money, but the other divided souls were a different story.
Ah Qing has been robbed of her money many times, but because she can't distinguish between Yue Jiuling and other split souls, she always assumes that Yue Jiuling robbed her, and that she can't get it back. Since she can't beat Yue Jiuling after being robbed, she has no choice but to reluctantly give up her money.
Fortunately, although Ah Qing was robbed of her money many times, it was only a temporary pain, and she wasn't too angry with Yue Jiuling. Because that money didn't actually belong to her; she was just in charge of the money. The true owner of the money was actually the demon king, Qingcheng.
Every time she was robbed, when she went to the Demon King to claim her money, Qingcheng would go directly to Yue Jiuling instead of blaming her. So she would only feel a pang of regret, but she wouldn't actually suffer any loss.
"Oh, I know that. They told me as soon as I came in. They said Qingcheng isn't here, and that she hasn't been here for a while. But it's okay, I'm not here to see her, I'm here to see you, Qing. I'm actually here to see you."
Yue Jiujie, while shoveling rice into his mouth, said, "You probably already know some things about me, right?"
Yue Jiu Jie didn't explain that she wasn't actually Yue Jiu Ling, but just a divided soul, because she felt that even if she explained, it would be useless, since Ah Qing couldn't distinguish between them at all, so she was too lazy to explain and just stated her purpose directly.
"Well, I know a little about that. You can have nine separate souls, and they can all manifest physical forms with the same strength. But, hehe, I can't really tell them apart."
Ah Qing looked at Yue Jiu Jie with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Ah Qing has actually lived for over a thousand years, and her cultivation level is not low, but she is still not good enough compared to Yue Jiujie.
Yue Jiujie looked at Ah Qing and smiled. She said, "Yes, that's right. You've heard all of this, but do you know that my true body is actually gone? I'm using a soul body now."
Ah Qing had no idea what Yue Jiujie wanted from her. She thought it was some trivial matter, but she was surprised to hear Yue Jiujie say such a thing. She looked at Yue Jiujie in surprise and said, "Soul body? You're a soul body now? You're too..."
Ah Qing had heard that Yue Jiuling had nine souls that could materialize, but she had never seen them before, and even if she had, she couldn't tell them apart. She looked at Yue Jiujie in surprise and said, "My God, you are a soul now, so why is your spiritual power still so strong? How come I can't tell?"
"Hehe~ Didn't you already know that? I have nine souls, and they can all materialize. Didn't you just say that yourself?"
"But... I never imagined you were in a spirit form right now~"
Ah Qing looked at Yue Jiu Jie with surprise, her eyes filled with admiration.
It is very difficult for a soul to materialize. Even if someone with great cultivation materializes into a physical form, people with cultivation can usually tell the difference. Ah Qing considered herself to be quite capable, after all, she had lived for so long. However, she never expected that she still couldn't distinguish whether Yue Jiu Jie was a soul or a physical form. She really couldn't tell at all.
"OMG~ Sister Jiuling, you're amazing!"
Ah Qing truly admired Yue Jiuling, because she had never seen such a powerful soul before.
Although demons possess powerful magic, once their souls leave their bodies, they die and become ghosts. After becoming ghosts, they are taken to the underworld because they must abide by the natural cycle of reincarnation. Therefore, whether it is a demon soul or a ghost soul, they must be taken away by the underworld.
