Chapter 185: Chapter 183 Scumbags Have No Right to Speak

Two days later, the weather was clear, and the wind chimes under the porch jingled in the breeze.

In the courtyard, Xiao Hua was jumping and shouting around Yun Qi, sometimes rolling and acting cute, sometimes wagging his tail and pouting, all just to get a share of the small cake in Yun Qi’s hands.

"We agreed, one piece for you and one for me. You’ve already finished yours, this one is mine!" Yun Qi said in a soft, childish voice, protectively holding onto her small cake.

Xiao Hua whimpered twice and immediately stood up on his hind legs, as if to say, "I know you’ve already fed the dog, but standing in front of you now is another dog."

Yun Qi snorted, "Thick-skinned!" yet still shared half of her small cake with Xiao Hua.

The Old Master sat under the eaves, chuckling.

A middle-aged man in a police uniform, looking somewhat stern, hurriedly arrived under the guidance of the housekeeper.

"I apologize, Mr. Yun, I’m the chief of the Hai City branch of the 49 Bureau. Due to some urgent matters, I had to disturb you without an appointment, and I hope for your understanding." Though the visitor appeared stern, he spoke quite politely.

The Old Master stood up with a cheerful smile, "No worries, Chief, please come inside."

Yun Qi peeked inside, and Xiao Hua enthusiastically tried to go over and pee at the guest’s feet, but Yun Qi quickly hugged him, wagging her finger at his nose, instructing him seriously, "You can’t pee on the guest’s pants again, or there’ll be no dinner for you."

Xiao Hua whimpered twice, unclear whether he understood.

After about half an hour, the chief, guided by the housekeeper, headed outside. As he passed the courtyard, he nodded politely and smiled at Yun Qi.

Yun Qi blinked her eyes without understanding why.

During dinner, the Old Master held a delicate invitation card, feeling the very authoritative emblem on it, and said in a deep voice, "A special invitation from the Capital City’s 49 Bureau, personally delivered by the chief. It’s probably because Qi received a few jobs recently, making a name for herself. What do you all think?"

"I disagree," Yun Qiuce said irritably, "We all know the kind of cases the 49 Bureau handles. How can we let Qi take such risks!"

"I share the same opinion as the fourth," Yun Qiucheng spoke maturely, "The 49 Bureau is full of experts who can handle the biggest cases. There’s no need for a little girl like Qi to take risks."

Yun Qiuhong said calmly, "Moreover, it’s about going to the Capital City, and Qi just returned from there. It doesn’t make sense for her to go back so soon, and who’s going to take care of her there, where will she live?"

Actually, she wanted to say that just a few days ago, she had a little conflict with Yun Qi, and although Yun Qi didn’t hold grudges, she was planning to make amends with her niece these days. If the 49 Bureau borrowed her, what would she do?

No, absolutely not.

Such a sweet Little Dumpling, hardly hugged her a few times yet, can’t lend her away!

The Old Master looked at Yun Qi, "Qi, what’s your take?"

Yun Qi blinked her eyes, looking at one, then the other, and with a serious little face, she said, "I think Uncle and Auntie are not very talented. The task of bringing glory to the Yun Family is up to me. I will work hard!"

She said, clenching her little fists, cheering herself on.

Yun Qiucheng and Yun Qiuhong exchanged glances and then collectively looked up at the sky.

No talent was one thing, but being pointed out by Little Dumpling right to their faces, wasn’t that a blow to their dignity?

Yun Qiuce chuckled, "That’s true, the most capable in our family is indeed Qi."

The Old Master squinted at him, "There’s another shameless one here, do you think Qi didn’t include you in her remarks!"

Yun Qiuce: ...

"Alright, since Qi has her own ideas, we’ll follow her lead. However, where she’ll live, who will take care of her, these issues need to be arranged in advance, or else I won’t let her go."

The Old Master stood up.

Yun Qi tilted her head. The fact that the 49 Bureau officially sent an invitation showed that they must be facing a big case.

She went upstairs to her room and immediately heard the Mountain Ghost’s complaints:

"Does anyone care or not! Our gatekeeper is about to rebel."

"Gatekeeper? Who, is it edible if disobedient?" said the Peacock.

"Eat, it’s all you think about! It’s a suit of armor, and yet you want to eat it, let me pour you some water to aid digestion," the Jiao Long teased unmercifully.

"Ha! I don’t bother arguing with you, want a fight?"

"Fight if you dare, I’m scared of you."

"If you want to fight, take it outside. My painting can’t withstand your antics!" the Mountain Ghost warned sternly.

Yun Qi sat down dejectedly, propping her face up with her little hands. She hadn’t known when she accepted them that they were such a lively bunch, constantly coming to her with complaints from a painting.

Huang Mingzhuo’s voice came, "Uh... I just wanted to ask why they all get extra meat, and I can only eat wild vegetables from the back mountain?"

"Scram! Scum have no speaking rights," the Mountain Ghost said disdainfully.

"Exactly, keep misbehaving and the Peacock will eat you," said the Jiao Long.

"Who are you looking down on? I don’t eat just anything," said the Peacock.

Huang Mingzhuo nearly choked, and turned back silently to dig for wild vegetables.

Yun Qi remembered the main issue, "What’s wrong, Armor?"

A stiff yet resolute voice came from the Armor, "Our General has awakened and is heading this way. I can sense it, let me out, I must go protect the General."

Yun Qi: "Actually..."

"A soldier must die on the battlefield, serving the nation. Even in death, one should die honorably, how can they seek comfort and betray this armor?"

Yun Qi sighed; the Armor had only recently become an Object Demon, and due to a deep obsession, it kept repeating the words its owner had said in life.

However, the Armor’s words conveyed an important message: it seems that going to the Capital City is now urgent.

***

At the same time in the Capital City.

The vast conference hall at the 49 Bureau headquarters.

As the acting director, Hu Ju sat at the curved conference table in the center of the hall, surrounded by a large circular table, with representatives from different worlds seated according to category.

On the left were the Ghost Clan, all dressed in black, exuding chilling yin energy, particularly popular in the summer because it saved on air conditioning costs. Compared to an AC unit, they provided natural cooling. Besides the eerie ghost energy, occasionally a mischievous ghost might suddenly remove its head or pluck out its eyeball, offering a firsthand experience of bone-chilling terror, a feeling that only the humans at 49 Bureau headquarters could deeply understand.

On the right was the Demon Clan, and Hu Ju himself was from this clan. Back in the day, Hu Ju, with a thousand years of cultivation, nine tails, and considerable charm, was elected director by the Demon Clan leaders. They believed that humans inherently have a fondness for fox spirits, and a high appearance score could significantly boost the Demon Clan’s public image.

Here, it was necessary to boast a little about the Ghost Clan – they did have some beauties, but only at high cultivation levels. For instance, the Fengdu Ghost King couple were notably striking figures, both in heaven and earth.

Directly ahead was the Human Clan. Compared to other clans, their fundamental power was slightly lacking, but through their ability to reproduce and their vast culture, Humans invented various cultivation systems to compensate for the lack of mana. For instance, the modern scientific system, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Regardless of the system, those who stood equal among the Demon and Ghost Clan leaders in the 49 Bureau were legendary figures throughout human history.
