Yue Jiuling stood by the roadside, gazing thoughtfully at the burning shop.
The shop that caught fire was a small mala tang (spicy hot pot) snack shop, only about ten square meters. There were only four or five customers coming out of the shop, and it was unclear whether the shop's staff had also left.
The fire was raging and burning the shop. Some people in the crowd had already called the police, while others were helping to put out the fire. In the crowd, Yue Jiuling saw someone who was both familiar and unfamiliar to her, and that person just happened to make eye contact with her.
But just as Yue Jiuling was about to step forward, a voice that she found very annoying suddenly came from beside her.
"Oh, it's you again, you jerk. I'm really having a bad day."
Upon hearing the voice, Yue Jiuling stopped in her tracks, turned around, put her hands on her hips, and snorted coldly, "Ugh, what bad luck! I run into some disgusting scoundrels everywhere I go."
While out for a late-night snack at the night market, Ya Zi, holding a chicken leg, glared at Yue Jiu Ling: "Who are you calling a scoundrel leopard? And I'm not a leopard, I'm the most powerful monster!"
Yue Jiuling scoffed, "Ha, that's ridiculous. You call yourself a great demon? I've been in the demon realm for so many years, and I've never seen a great demon like you before. May I ask which mountain you reign over?"
"You! Hmph, what do you care which mountain I'm on? I'm the most powerful and noble great demon!"
Despite possessing the noblest bloodline, Ya Zi couldn't casually reveal his real name for fear that everyone already knew he had made a mistake and would be punished. Suddenly, he felt very aggrieved.
Seeing Ya Zi's frustrated expression, Yue Jiuling felt a surge of satisfaction, gave a cold laugh, and turned to leave.
Ya Zi, however, gritted his teeth in resentment: "You jerk, just you wait! How dare you laugh at me! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
Jiang Nian stood quietly at the street corner watching the fire brigade put out the fire at the shop across the street. Actually, she regretted not being able to control her anger earlier, but when she thought of the shop owner, she still felt very angry.
"Nine Thoughts".
Yue Jiuling smiled and called out to the people in front of her, "Yue Jiunian, Yue Jiunian, it's really not easy to find you."
Jiang Nian—no, she should be called Yue Jiu Nian now—immediately rushed over and hugged Yue Jiu Ling when she heard Yue Jiu Ling call her name: "Jiu Ling, long time no see!"
"Haha, it's been a long time! I was wondering where you all had been. You were all so hard to find."
Yue Jiu Nian patted her head, looking helpless: "I don't remember. I only remember that my soul was weak at the time, so I hid in someone else's body. Now that the original owner is dead, I took over this body and came out to find you."
"Okay, I'm currently using someone else's body, so it's better to find my true self as soon as possible."
"It's alright, we'll take it slow. Once we find everyone, we can find the real body quickly. Come on, let's all tell each other how we've been doing lately."
Yue Jiuling finally found one of her fragmented souls, and the whole cat seemed especially happy. After the two hugged, they started to put their arms around each other's shoulders and pour out their troubles.
"Jiu Nian, let me tell you, I've actually been doing pretty well lately, except I've run into a lunatic, who's incredibly annoying..."
"Being crazy is a minor issue compared to what's really troubling me. You have no idea, I'm now a poor cat burdened with a mountain of debt..."
"What?! That serious? Let me tell you, I'm very poor, I have no money!"
It turns out that the reason Yue Jiu Nian was able to leave the hospital without paying medical bills was because the hospital sympathized with her situation and was willing to give her time to raise the money.
Then she left her ID card at the hospital and promised to raise the money within a month so she could leave the hospital.
After hearing about the pitiful experiences of her split soul, Yue Jiuling felt great sympathy. However, while feeling sympathy, she grabbed Yue Jiunian's neck with both hands and said coldly, "Jiunian, I know you're pitiful now, but I'm also a poor wretch. So tell me, how do you want to die?!"
Caught off guard by the sudden pinching, Yue Jiu Nian cried out, "Jiu Ling, you can't do this to me! I can't die yet! We still need to find people; many hands make light work..."
Yue Jiuling still had a cold and ruthless face, as if she were a heartless killing machine. She refused to pull her hand back: "No, we don't have any money. We can't pay back the money if you don't die, so you should just die. That way you won't have to pay back the money."
"Oh, Jiuling, please let me go! Even if I have to rob someone, I'll get the money back. Don't worry..."
Yue Jiu Nian continued to cry and shout with tears streaming down her face.
Finally, Yue Jiuling glanced at her split soul and let go: "Tch, this isn't fun."
Yue Jiu Nian also thought the two of them were being childish, and nudged Yue Jiu Ling with her elbow: "Hey, I only played with you because you wanted to play, and now you're complaining that it's not fun."
"Okay, my bad. So what are you going to do now? You're drowning in debt, don't you just want to die?"
Although they were just joking around, Yue Jiuling still cared a lot about that debt.
However, the creditor, Yue Jiunian, was not in a hurry. A clever plan immediately came to her mind. She said:
"What's the rush? When I received the memories that day, I remembered that the original owner had a father. Although the mother was a gambler who harmed people, I remember that the father seemed to be quite rich. The original owner was not even eighteen yet, so it's not unreasonable for her to ask for some money to pay off the debts. Besides, half of the debts were the mother's gambling debts. Where would a girl like her get so much money?"
