Peach Blossom.

"A female delivery woman died in the men's restroom."

On a scorching street, not far from the door of a public toilet, a group of onlookers were sharing this shocking news with each other.

Tao Ye, confused, approached the group of people.

She saw an internet celebrity live-streaming on his phone, telling his fans: "We can see that there are two deliverymen's electric bikes parked outside the public toilet. The deceased is a female deliveryman, and the suspect is a male deliveryman. According to insiders, the two were colleagues..."

Tao Ye turned his gaze to the location where the camera of his mobile phone was pointed and saw two policemen and a delivery boy walking towards the police car.

The delivery boy looked honest and tried to explain: "She molested me... I was acting in self-defense... I was acting in self-defense..."

Tao Ye recognized that the delivery boy was his colleague Li You.

She seemed to recall what had just happened, and suddenly felt angry. She wanted to rush to Li You and slap him in the face!

But before he could do so, Tao Ye heard a certain internet celebrity continue his live broadcast: "It seems that this case needs to be reversed. The suspect - may also be the victim..."

Several medical staff carried a stretcher and walked towards where Tao Ye was standing.

The female delivery woman lying on the stretcher had a lot of blood on her head and her face was almost invisible.

Tao Ye was a little frightened. She tentatively reached out her hand and touched her forehead. Sure enough, she saw blood on her hand. Suddenly, she couldn't help but scream...

Tao Ye realized that she might be dead, and the female delivery woman lying on the stretcher was herself!

She rushed towards the stretcher, but found nothing.

It turns out that when the soul leaves the body, it becomes like air.

Follow up...

Street cameras confirmed:

Li You first parked the electric bike at the entrance of the public toilet, then trotted into the men's toilet;

Immediately afterwards, Tao Ye parked his electric bike at the entrance of the public toilet, and then swaggered into the men's restroom carrying a bag of takeout.

The company's leaders and colleagues unanimously testified:

Li You is a model employee of the company, with good conduct and kindness to others;

Tao Ye often had frictions with his colleagues and they would fight at any time. He was also complained by customers many times. He was an employee that the company wanted to fire but did not dare to fire.

Therefore, before the police announced the results of the investigation, the public had already made a conclusion about the case:

Li You entered the public toilet first, so it was impossible for him to have premeditated the crime, so it must have been self-defense;

Tao Ye followed a male colleague into the men's restroom, carrying a takeaway bag. He is simply a pervert!

Wherever Tao Ye's soul drifted, she could see strange news about her being read.

Whenever she saw a keyboard warrior writing the word "pervert" in the comment section, she would get so angry that she wanted to strangle that person to death.

But... she couldn't do it, and then she suddenly remembered that she was just a soul and could no longer touch anyone.

She could only yell back: "You are the pervert!"

It turns out that cursing back is just as useless.

Because as a spirit, she cannot be seen or heard.

She floated to the hospital, looked at herself lying unconscious on the bed, and roared: "You useless piece of shit! When will you wake up? When you become notorious all over the world, you won't be able to wash it off even if you jump into the Yellow River!"

After walking around the ward for a few times, recalling every sneering face, Tao Ye became angrier and angrier. He couldn't help but yell again: "You might as well just die instead of lying there half dead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Ye heard a "beep beep" sound.

Looking back, it turned out that the electrocardiogram monitor connected to her body was sounding an alarm. The wavy line on the display screen became shorter and shorter, and finally almost approached a straight line.

Tao Ye stared at the display screen of the ECG monitor. The wavy line finally turned into a straight line. She screamed in fear.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew and she couldn't open her eyes.

When she was able to open her eyes again, it was pitch black all around her, without even a hint of light.

"Is there a power outage in the hospital?" Tao Ye muttered to himself, tentatively groping forward with his hands. After taking two steps, he bumped into something cold.

She reached out and touched it, and what she felt was the shape of a person, a standing person, but with no body temperature.

This frightened her so much that she stepped back repeatedly, her voice trembling: "You... who are you?"

Tao Ye heard a chuckle and soon got the answer: "I am the Ghost King."

Ghost King?

Doesn’t that mean... this is the underworld?

Tao Ye was completely depressed. She thought of the straight line on the electrocardiogram...

It’s over. She was in a deep coma and her soul had been wandering for several days, but this time she is really dead!

There is absolutely no chance to wash off the stigma of being a "pervert"!

The Ghost King chuckled again: "Want to go back?"

"Can we still go back?" Tao Ye was suddenly surprised.

The Ghost King nodded, but without light, Tao Ye couldn't see.

"Then take me back!" Tao Ye couldn't express how excited he was.

She had already imagined that when her soul returned to her body, she would be discharged from the hospital immediately and beat up all those colleagues and leaders in her company who testified against her. How great it would be!

"Don't worry, don't worry." The Ghost King laughed again.

Tao Ye felt that she seemed to be happy too early and didn't know what the Ghost King meant.

Another gust of cold wind blew, and they came to a place with lights, and there looked to be two restaurants in front.

The Ghost King pointed at the two restaurants and said to Tao Ye: "Did you see that? The God of Cookery and I are having a competition. We agreed to see who has the higher sales within a hundred years. Now half of the time has passed, and he has a slight advantage..."

Tao Ye looked carefully at the two restaurants. The one on the right was full of guests. Some were in suits and some were in long sleeves. It must be the restaurant of the God of Cookery.

Looking at the one on the left, there are only chefs and waiters walking around inside, and no customers. It must be the Ghost King's restaurant.

Can such a gap be called "slightly better"?

There is a world of difference between them!

Tao Ye couldn't help but mutter, "Comparing cooking skills with the God of Cookery, isn't that stupid?"

"What did you say?"

When Tao Ye heard the Ghost King's voice, he immediately came back to his senses and quickly flattered him with a smile on his face: "I said that you are so imaginative, you will definitely come up with a good idea to turn the situation around!"

"Yes! You're right! I have come up with a good idea!" The Ghost King also smiled and said along with Tao Ye: "How can the only customers be gods and ghosts? The customers in the human world are the most! So, I recruited a group of deliverymen to deliver food to mortals in different eras. As long as there are enough sales channels, I don't believe that my sales volume can't exceed his!"

Tao Ye then understood that the reason why he was chosen by the Ghost King was because of his job as a delivery man?

The Ghost King continued to say to Tao Ye: "I have decided to hire you. All you have to do is sell the food in my restaurant to people and deliver 100 takeout orders, then you can go back."

"One hundred orders?" Tao Ye widened his eyes.

How can the ghost king recruit a deliveryman? It is clearly a salesman + deliveryman!

The Ghost King still had a malicious smile on his face and asked, "Don't you have a saying in the human world that there are no products that can't be sold, only sales that don't work hard?"

Tao Ye had no choice but to continue smiling and discussed with the Ghost King in a pleading tone: "Then let me go back to my time to promote your food, okay?"

"Do you think it's possible?" The Ghost King looked at Tao Ye with a wry smile.

Tao Ye's smiling face gradually turned into a wry smile. She certainly felt that it was unlikely. What was the difference between that and just letting her go back?

The Ghost King is indeed not easy to fool!

The Ghost King looked at the God of Cookery's restaurant and said proudly, "Although my food doesn't taste as good as the God of Cookery's, my employees work much harder than the God of Cookery's employees! I don't believe I can't win!"

The smile on Tao Ye's face had already froze, and he muttered in a low voice: "That's for sure, they will deduct your money and you will deduct your life..."

From then on, Tao Ye was forced to become a takeaway salesman for the Ghost King Restaurant, with no salary, no food or accommodation, and was sent to an unfamiliar place - an unknown ancient capital: Jian'an City.

The Ghost King said: Without pressure, there is no motivation.

However, suddenly becoming an ancient man made Tao Ye have no idea how to start.

There was a kind-hearted little ghost beside the Ghost King, who pointed out a clear way for Tao Ye, saying that the Princess's Mansion in Jian'an City was recruiting cooks. If Tao Ye could get in, he would at least have a place to live, and then he could slowly open up sales.

When Tao Ye arrived near the princess's mansion, he saw a long queue on the street outside the mansion, and the queue was full of young girls.

There was a butler at the gate of the mansion who was responsible for checking every girl like he was inspecting merchandise. If he liked one, he would let her into the mansion; if he didn't like one, he would send her away immediately.

Tao Ye also joined the team and moved forward slowly like a snail. He looked at the people in front of him who were selected and those who were not selected, and was very puzzled: They were selecting cooks without a cooking competition. They just looked and asked, and made a decision in a few minutes. Could they be sure that the person selected was a competent cook?

When he approached the front of the line, Tao Ye heard the butler asking the applicant's name and age, and there was a gentleman sitting next to him taking notes.

Tao Ye listened quietly one by one.

A girl introduced herself: "My name is Jingnu, I am fifteen years old."

Another girl introduced herself: "I am a common girl, sixteen years old."

Another girl introduced herself: "My name is Xiaowan, I am fourteen years old."

……

Finally it was Tao Ye's turn. She was getting a little impatient waiting, and before the housekeeper could ask, she introduced herself: "My name is Tao Ye, and I'm 23 years old."

Everyone - the housekeeper, the master, the servants, and the girls standing in front and behind Tao Ye, all looked at Tao Ye in unison with a look of surprise.

Seeing this, Tao Ye couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

She knew something was wrong, but she hadn't figured out what it was.

A servant said to the housekeeper: "She must be illiterate..."

Only then did Tao Ye notice that the notice posted outside the wall of the princess's mansion clearly stated that the age for recruiting cooks was "over thirteen and under eighteen."
