Springtime is rainy, and it rains frequently, leaving everything damp. This phenomenon bothers Yue Jiuling, as cats generally dislike water. So, when Yue Jiuling and Bai Xinyu see the damp ground, neither of them wants to go out, and they both simultaneously have the thought of going on strike.
However, as dedicated civil servants, they cannot and will not go on strike. So, the two cat demons, who dislike going out on rainy days, ended up going to work together with umbrellas.
Yue Jiuling had completely gotten used to the 9-to-5 life; she had completely come to regard herself as half a person. Although that sounded a bit strange, it didn't seem to make any sense.
As soon as she got off work in the afternoon, Bai Xinyu started planning what to have for dinner. Yue Jiuling, who usually liked to eat out, suddenly realized that she seemed to be about to become broke, because once she applied for a temporary post, her salary would be halved.
So, in order to save money, Yue Jiuling decided to stop eating out and instead buy groceries and cook at home herself!
Bai Xinyu had no objection to the suggestion of cooking for herself. After all, it wasn't her cooking, and her good roommate's cooking skills were decent enough. She could just pay for it herself if necessary.
After discussing what to eat for dinner, Yue Jiuling went to the market to buy groceries, while Bai Xinyu went home first because she also needed to clean the kitchen.
This market was the place where Yue Jiuling regained consciousness. Yue Jiuling found the fish stall she knew well and bought a big, fat fish.
Yue Jiuling chose the fish herself. Whether it was because the fish sensed Yue Jiuling's presence or for some other reason, the big fat fish pretended to be dead when Yue Jiuling was looking at it. However, this trick was useless, because in the end Yue Jiuling still used a fishing net to scoop it out and handed it over to the fishmonger to kill.
Having bought today's ingredients, Yue Jiuling carried a large pile of vegetables and prepared to head home. However, halfway there, the sky, which had stopped raining, suddenly became overcast, and it was about to start raining heavily again.
Yue Jiuling, who had brought rain gear, looked unhappy. She had thought that once the rain stopped, it wouldn't rain again, but it was going to rain again.
"Boom!~"
The torrential rain started suddenly; those with umbrellas were fine, but those without were immediately soaked to the bone.
Yue Jiuling slowly walked back to her dormitory with her umbrella, wondering when the rain would stop; it was driving her crazy.
"Boom!~"
A purple lightning bolt suddenly flashed across the dim sky, accompanied by a loud clap of thunder. Yue Jiuling seemed to sense something and immediately looked up at the sky.
Then they saw a strange, blood-red cloud in the sky being chased and bombarded by lightning. Although the lightning was coming on strong, the blood-red cloud was very cunning, constantly dodging the lightning and making the lightning run around in circles.
However, ordinary people cannot see all these strange phenomena. They can only see the terrible weather with lightning and thunder, but they cannot see the strange clouds and mist.
Yue Jiuling stood by the roadside, ignoring the heavy rain. Her eyes were fixed on the blood mist, and she seemed to be filled with great anger.
High above, a man in white robes, wielding a long sword in one hand and controlling lightning in the other, was desperately attacking the cloud of blood mist.
Seeing that the blood mist had not been knocked down, Yue Jiuling placed the ingredients she was holding in her right hand on the ground, then made a hand seal and sent a beam of green light into the sky.
The green light struck the blood mist, and because the person was a little too slow to dodge, they were hit by a giant bolt of lightning.
The blood mist was hit and disappeared instantly, but Yue Jiuling also vanished from the spot at the same time.
"Ha, I should settle this score with you too."
There weren't many pedestrians on the street because of the rain, so no one noticed Yue Jiuling's disappearance.
Yue Jiuling reappeared in a forest park. The park usually has quite a few visitors, but on rainy days, there are almost no visitors, so no one noticed Yue Jiuling's appearance.
Near where Yue Jiuling appeared, there was a small pond. The pond was now full of water. Yue Jiuling called out to the goldfish swimming around in the pond, "Blood Demon, we are old acquaintances. Why pretend to be dead? Come out. No matter what, this score still needs to be settled."
As soon as Yue Jiuling finished speaking, a splash suddenly appeared on the once quiet pond, and a beautiful woman dressed in ancient red costume flew out from it.
The woman was alluring and scantily clad, as beautiful as the seductive vixens on television. Anyone present would be instantly captivated.
However, Yue Jiuling knew that this woman was not a fox spirit, but a blood demon who was even more powerful than a fox spirit.
The Blood Demon of the Demon Realm—Yue Jiuling had heard her story. She was said to have been a mortal in her previous life who cultivated evil arts to maintain her beauty. Her cultivation method was based on blood; she ate blood, used blood, and needed blood for everything she did.
Initially, the Blood Demon primarily used human blood. After her indiscriminate killing of innocents was discovered, a group of people claiming to be acting on behalf of heaven tried to deal with her, but she turned the tables and killed them. Eventually, her evil magic became more and more powerful, and she became a demon.
When Yue Jiuling met the Blood Demon, she had already heard of her infamous reputation. However, Yue Jiuling found the Blood Demon utterly repulsive because she had heard that the Blood Demon even bathed in blood, and that she possessed a vast pool of blood in which she soaked every day.
Back when she was framed by the Demon King, Yue Jiuling had already fought with the Blood Demon. Yue Jiuling hated the Blood Demon to the bone, and the Blood Demon also 'liked' Yue Jiuling very much because she always wanted Yue Jiuling's blood. Although the Blood Demon had hunted down many demons over the years, she still desperately wanted Yue Jiuling's blood.
