Now that the misunderstanding was cleared up, Yue Jiuling planned to go home. However, as she turned and left the forest park without looking back, returning to the staff dormitory, she suddenly realized that she had forgotten something very important: the groceries she had bought. She had thrown all the groceries she had painstakingly bought onto the street while chasing the Blood Demon!
Bai Xinyu had already finished cleaning everything at home and was waiting for Yue Jiuling to return. But she waited and waited, and it got dark and almost past dinner time before she finally heard the sound of the door opening.
The door was open, and the person who came back was correct, but why did Yue Jiuling return empty-handed?
Bai Xinyu was just about to ask, "Where are the vegetables?" when Yue Jiuling suddenly realized something and shouted, "Oh dear, I completely forgot to bring the vegetables back!"
Yue Jiuling hurriedly ran out to find vegetables, while Bai Xinyu looked on in confusion, not understanding what was going on. She was supposed to go buy vegetables, how could she forget about them?
It was still raining outside, but it wasn't raining heavily anymore. Yue Jiuling ran back to where she had left the vegetables with her umbrella. Luckily, the vegetables were still there and hadn't been picked up by anyone, otherwise she would have had to buy another serving.
While picking up the vegetables with relief, Yue Jiuling grumbled angrily, "Hmph, if it weren't for that idiot making me angry, I definitely wouldn't have realized I forgot to take the vegetables when I got home. It's all that big idiot's fault, he made me stupid too."
Meanwhile, Ya Zi, who was about to say goodbye to Jun Moyu, suddenly felt an itch on his nose. He slapped his nose, frowned, and scratched it, saying:
"Alright, Brother Moyu, you should go back now. Capturing the Blood Demon was originally my responsibility. Your coming down to help me has already caused some complaints from the higher-ups. You should go back quickly. I can handle this myself, so don't worry about me."
Jun Moyu thought for a moment and finally said, "Alright, your father has been kind to me, and I should have taken good care of you. But it's good for you to go and gain some experience. If you have any problems, just send me a message, and I will come down to help you."
"Okay, I understand. You should go back now, or you'll be punished by your superiors."
There are many rules in the Heavenly Realm. Generally speaking, immortals are not allowed to descend to the mortal realm at will. Jun Moyu came down this time to help Ya Zi capture the Blood Demon. This time, the Blood Demon was not captured, but Jun Moyu can no longer stay in the mortal realm. So the two of them are saying goodbye now.
As Ya Zi watched Jun Moyu return to the Heavenly Realm, he prepared to go find the envelope his cousin, the Sea Dragon King, had given him. The Sea Dragon King had previously introduced him to a job with a friend, and now he was going to the person who had introduced him to the job.
In the evening, the rain finally stopped. Bai Xinyu was watching a TV series in the living room. The series she was watching was the same idol drama that Yue Jiuling had seen in Director Yu's office before.
Meanwhile, Yue Jiuling was meditating in her room. Every day, she would try to sense where her true body and her divided soul were, attempting to find them.
"Hahaha, oh my god, he's so handsome! Jiuling, Jiuling, come quick! My idol is absolutely gorgeous!"
Yue Jiuling has gotten used to Bai Xinyu's obsessive binge-watching of dramas, often shouting and yelling. This little fangirl drools over the handsome young men on TV every day, calling them her idols. If Yue Jiuling weren't too busy to deal with her right now, she would definitely go out and scold her for being such a fangirl.
Bai Xinyu watched an episode of the TV series with great satisfaction, and then ran into Yue Jiuling's room while the tablet was displaying an advertisement, asking, "Jiuling, Jiuling, why are you meditating again? Do you want some midnight snack? I wasn't full and was planning to order takeout."
Yue Jiuling sat on the bed with her eyes closed and said, "I don't want to. I'm too poor to afford late-night snacks lately."
Bai Xinyu was speechless when she heard Yue Jiuling complaining about being broke; "How much could a midnight snack cost? You're too stingy. Fine, I'll treat you. What do you want to eat?"
"Whatever, I'm not really hungry."
Yue Jiuling hadn't originally planned to eat, but since someone was treating her, she figured she might as well eat and just mooch off them.
After receiving a reply, Bai Xinyu took her phone to order food. Once ordered, she continued drooling over her tablet, repeatedly calling him her "male god."
Yue Jiuling consciously ignored Bai Xinyu's infatuated voice and focused on meditation.
The next morning, Yue Jiuling got up on time to wash up, and then dragged Bai Xinyu, who had stayed up all night watching dramas and was dozing off with dark circles under her eyes, to work.
Bai Xinyu had been watching dramas all night and originally planned to take the day off to sleep at home, but after being reminded by Yue Jiuling, she forced herself to go to work.
Because Yue Jiuling said, "Why ask for leave? You can sleep in the office anyway. There's not much work to do lately. You get paid to sleep at work, so why not go to work?"
Bai Xinyu thought Yue Jiuling's words made a lot of sense, so she didn't ask for leave.
That's right, working in special departments is so great. They're free and no one bothers them. The workload is light, and they can even slack off openly. However, their work is different from that of ordinary people. The biggest difference is that the risks are much greater, because they come into contact with non-human beings.
Around noon, after school let students go home for lunch and rest, a teenage girl and a woman in her thirties or forties were arguing and pulling at each other on the busy street.
"Are you going to give me the money or not? Let me tell you, if you don't give me the money today, I'm not leaving, and I'm going to kill myself!"
The woman grabbed the girl's clothes and reached out to snatch a schoolbag from her hand, but the girl stubbornly refused to let the woman take the bag. With a helpless expression, she cried out, "Mom, I beg you, please stop gambling! You've gambled away everything in the house, what more do you want?"
"None of your business! Give me the money!"
The woman pushed the girl away with all her might, then lunged to snatch the schoolbag. Seeing she couldn't get it, she lay down on the street and started whining: "Waaah! Help! Everyone come quick! This unfilial daughter won't pay me! I'm drowning in debt, and if I don't pay, I'll be beaten to death!"
By this time, many people had noticed the mother and daughter arguing and pulling each other on the street, and everyone gathered around to watch the spectacle, making it as lively as a New Year's celebration.
The conversation was noisy and chaotic. Some people were advising the girl to give the money to her mother to pay off her debts, while others were telling the woman to stop gambling. Still others said not to give the money to the woman, because gamblers would definitely go back to gambling if they took it, and so on.
Among the crowd, only a handsome young man stood there silently. His expression seemed to be one of endurance. He clenched his fists and then relaxed them again, finally revealing a helpless look as if he had given up.
The boy was wearing a straw hat, and no one noticed that something was trembling slightly under the hat. Then, a bright green plant leaf quietly peeked out from inside the hat!
However, when Ye Zi sneaked out, the boy immediately noticed her. He carefully observed his surroundings and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was paying attention to him. He then reached out and pushed Ye Zi back into his hat.
