Chapter 411:
"Yue Jiuxing, are you ready?"
After watching TV for a few more minutes, Yue Jiuling noticed that Yue Jiuxing was still dawdling, so she scolded her again. However, just as she was about to go to the kitchen, she suddenly heard someone knocking on her door.
"Knock knock knock~"
Who is it?
After hearing the knocking, Yue Jiuling ran to the door to open it, but when she stood at the door, she found that there was no movement outside, and it seemed that the person outside had already left.
"That's strange, did it run away?"
After hearing that there was no sound outside, Yue Jiuling glanced through the peephole and found nothing there. She said speechlessly, "Tsk, it's not Qingcheng or the others. Could they have knocked on the wrong door?"
After buying the house next to Yue Jiuling a few days ago, Demon King Qingcheng spent a few days playing in the city. After getting tired of playing, she went to play in other places. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be coming back so soon.
After checking the peephole, Yue Jiuling turned and went back to the kitchen. She said to Yue Jiuxing, who was still dawdling, "Could you be any slower? Honestly, you're useless at everything, but you're number one at causing trouble."
Yue Jiuxing washed the dishes with a wronged expression, not daring to say a word, while Yue Jiuyue, who was mopping the floor outside, also dared not utter a sound.
After the two of them finally finished all the housework, Yue Jiuling was already tired of scolding them.
"Ugh, this is exhausting. If I hadn't caught a cold and was going to take back Jiu Nian and the others, I wouldn't have had to get so worked up by the two of you."
While eating a lollipop, Yue Jiuling said, "Alright, you've been quite obedient today, so you're allowed to go play games. Go ahead."
"Yay~ Thank you, Jiuling."
"I love you, Jiuling~"
The two split souls, who were initially sullen and dared not utter a sound after being scolded, became overjoyed as soon as they heard Yue Jiuling say that they could go play.
"Tsk tsk, hopeless."
Seeing their silly expressions, the main spirit Yue Jiuling could only shake her head helplessly.
But while Yue Jiuling's family was enjoying a harmonious time, the family upstairs was quietly dividing up their belongings.
An elderly woman took a kitchen knife and chopped hard at a human leg, cutting it off in a few strokes. She then placed the leg on the floor and said, "Son, go and cook this. Once it's cooked, chop it up and put it in the refrigerator."
Standing next to her was a man in his thirties with a fierce look. After hearing his mother's words, he reached out and dragged the man by the leg to the kitchen.
After cutting off a person's leg, the woman went to cut off the other leg, then the arm, the body, and finally the head...
After severing the head from the neck, the woman said to her husband, who had been watching her work, "Did you call that old woman? We can't let her come looking for us."
"I understand, I'll call her right away."
An old man's voice rang out: "Now that the weather is cold, let's cut the corpses into pieces and then dispose of them separately."
"Hmm~"
The woman, who had already finished chopping the items, was now washing them.
Inside the kitchen, a large pot was simmering chunks of meat, the red blood bubbling and churning in the broth—a dramatic sight. But the person cooking it had no expression whatsoever, and even seemed a little indifferent.
Soon, everything in the pot was cooked, then scooped out, chopped up again, frozen, and then dumped into various corners of the city.
Yue Jiuling's cold only lasted one day, and by the next day, she was back to her energetic self at work.
"Hey~ Jiuling, is your cold better?"
As soon as Yue Jiuling entered the office, she ran into Bai Xinyu, who was holding a bag of spicy strips. She said to Yue Jiuling, "I bought some spicy strips today. I don't know if you can eat them. If you can, I'll share a bag with you."
Yue Jiuling actually quite likes spicy snacks, so she immediately reached out and said, "It's ready a long time ago, don't worry, I can eat it."
"Oh, okay, then I'll share one with you."
Hearing that Yue Jiuling's cold was over, Bai Xinyu generously shared a bag of spicy strips with her.
Just as the two of them were eating spicy snacks, Ye Dongfeng, Yin Ni, and Ya Zi also came to work. As soon as Ya Zi saw Yue Jiuling, he immediately asked her, "Jiuling, how are you today? Is your cold better?"
"Yes, it's all better now, thanks for your concern~"
Yue Jiuling ate her spicy snack with a smile, and then said, "By the way, is Xiaobaicai's cold better? Poor southerner."
"Not yet, how pitiful~"
Mu Xiaoyi, who had just entered the office, shook her head and said.
Xiao Baicai still couldn't come to work today. I heard that his cold is still not better. When Mu Xiaoyi arrived at the office, she saw his leave slip.
Yue Jiuling was also worried about him when she heard this. This poor child was really too miserable and his body was too weak.
There was still nothing to do at the management office today, so everyone was idly watching TV, scrolling through videos, and playing on their phones, having a great time.
After most of the day had passed, it was lunchtime. Everyone went to the supermarket to buy groceries and then had hot pot. They said that with the weather getting colder, hot pot was the best option, and they could have two meals together, killing two birds with one stone.
In this noisy and relaxed work environment, the day passed quickly, and everyone clocked out.
