That’s right.
Seeing the message from Cassian Wolf, Scarlett Jennings’s first reaction was that this guy was at odds with the Security Bureau.
Because after she agreed to join the Mystic Regulation Office, she completed the Security Bureau’s task first, so as soon as she got back, he couldn’t wait to give her a job from the Mystic Regulation Office.
Although she didn’t know what "grudges" he had with the Security Bureau, Scarlett felt this was quite childish.
Even though she thought it was childish, Scarlett still agreed.
Then, Scarlett received her first task from the Mystic Regulation Office—
to find the runaway child of a Cat Demon.
"My child has become obsessed with short videos recently, insisting on becoming some kind of internet cat influencer!
I told it, we’re demons with Spiritual Wisdom, not like those cats needing human care, it wouldn’t listen and ran away from home! Said it wanted to find a human to raise it itself!"
"My child was always well-behaved before. This sudden rebellion must be because of some human little enchantress out there."
"It doesn’t understand those human tricks at all. Humans see you’re cute and take you home. After a while, when they think you’re boring, or when it’s time to go home for the New Year or move out of the city, they just discard you!
Or they stuff you into a pet carrier, leaving you at the entrance of a pet store in the middle of winter, not caring if you freeze or starve to death inside..."
The Cat Demon mother rambled on, her eyes filled with resentment towards humans and subtle sadness. After she finished speaking, she remembered to ask Scarlett Jennings,
"You don’t smell like a demon, what kind of demon are you?"
Scarlett: ...
"I am human."
Upon hearing this, the Cat Demon mother bristled instantly, reaching for her phone to complain to the Mystic Regulation Office. What right did they have to send a human to handle their demon affairs?
She hated humans the most!
Annoying!
Scarlett didn’t care whether she agreed or not, she just took a tuft of her fur and followed the related Demon Energy on it directly to an internet celebrity’s house where she found the child.
That internet celebrity’s daily routine was filming her and her cat, and she was somewhat famous in the cat community.
According to her, this kitten suddenly appeared on her balcony, not only hogged her cat’s food but also didn’t allow her cat to use the bathroom.
The lady was quite troubled by it and was even about to post a notice looking for the cat’s owner.
Scarlett promptly took the underage kitten back to the Cat Demon mother.
Then, she received her first complaint since joining the Mystic Regulation Office.
From the Cat Demon mother, with the straightforward reason for the complaint—because she was human.
Cassian Wolf seemed not surprised by this complaint and even pretended to calmly "comfort" her,
[Most demons have started integrating into society and living in peace with humans now, but a few demons still hold prejudices against humans. Encounters like this are normal.]
[You’ll get used to it after handling a few more cases.]
With that, he sent her a new task.
[This time, a juvenile Monkey Demon is seeking help, wanting the Mystic Regulation Office to deal with a Ghost. Since it involves ghosts and spirits, it fits right with your expertise.]
Scarlett looked at Cassian Wolf’s message, chuckled softly, and then refused with a straight face.
[I’m tired and need to rest, can’t take it.]
After sending this message, Scarlett directly put his account into the temporary blacklist.
After doing all this, Scarlett agreed to Violet Allen’s invitation.
Yesterday, the news that she and Stella Gibson successfully contracted the Undying Bone spread across the Mystical Sect.
Even though she wasn’t the one who contracted the Undying Bone, since she had done something significant right after joining the Security Bureau, she still received a lot of attention and greetings.
One of them was Violet Allen, who was still in the Capital Metropolitan.
She mainly stayed to avoid a family-arranged marriage and temporarily took on the Walking Impermanence job in the Capital Metropolitan, just in time to celebrate with Scarlett in person.
Though Scarlett felt there wasn’t much to celebrate.
