The City God pretended to be troubled and paced back and forth in his office.
Seeing that it was almost time, he finally spoke up and said, "How about this, I'll have our best employee work with you. He's the youngest son of the King of Hell, he'll definitely be a great partner for you."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yue realized that the youngest son of the King of Hell must possess extraordinary abilities, given his superior genes!
So he readily agreed.
Li Siqi installed an app on her phone. It had a rather scribbled design, but when she opened it, wow, it was quite up-to-date, just like a high-quality imitation of DingTalk. It had a workspace, contacts, and other lists.
Just as Ling Yue was about to examine the software that Li Siqi had just downloaded, Li Siqi performed a deep bow and respectfully said, "Your Highness."
Ling Yue then raised her head and looked in the direction where Li Siqi was bowing. Well, this was a little girl about the same age as Ling Yi, wearing a Q-version Underworld uniform.
With a cool expression, he looked at Li Siqi, waved his hand, and casually replied, "No need for such formalities, Lord Li."
His Highness the Crown Prince? Could this be the King of Hell's youngest son? Or perhaps he's her partner in this mission?
Ling Yue: ……
"You're my work partner?"
Just as Ling Yue was silently praying that he couldn't see her, the little baby walked up to her, looking up at her with a questioning expression.
This was the first time Ling Yue had ever seen someone look up at others with such disdain, and she immediately disliked the little child, despite her exquisite appearance and the fact that she was about the same age as her younger brother.
"Li Siqi, I want to see the City God! I demand a change of partners!"
The Crown Prince immediately became agitated upon hearing this: "What do you mean? Are you questioning my abilities? I hate it more than anything being looked down upon!"
"Hey, hey, you two should get to know each other first. Don't get excited, don't get excited. People need a period of adjustment to get along."
"You said it yourself, that's how humans interact. But we're a human and a ghost. As the saying goes, humans and ghosts are on different paths!"
"Think carefully about whether you're still human. You're still spouting nonsense about how humans and ghosts are different. Don't forget, I'm the one who's supposed to help you save your lifespan. Think about your own worth before you speak."
His Highness the Crown Prince must have been craning his neck to speak, and it must have been uncomfortable for him. But as soon as he finished speaking, he instantly transformed into a tall, 1.8-meter-tall young man!
Ling Yue was originally going to give this Crown Prince a real argument! She had never seen such an arrogant person in her life! But now she was so shocked by what she saw that she couldn't close her mouth. What... what kind of operation was this?
"How about that? I can do 74 transformations like this, two more than Sun Wukong. Tell me, am I good enough to be your partner?"
Ling Yue couldn't believe it and reached out to touch the tall man in front of her to see if he was really there. The well-made work clothes and those big, bright eyes, with his eyelashes moving with them, it was real...
His imposing manner unconsciously weakened, and he asked in a low voice, "Is this a special ability? Can I learn it from you?"
“My name is Lu Boqing. Since we’re partners now, you can call me by my nickname, Qingqing.”
Ling Yue spent a long time mentally preparing herself before finally managing to say, "Qingqing, hehe."
He looks like a grown man, but he calls himself Qingqing; it just feels a bit effeminate...
"This isn't really a special ability, and you can't learn it. It's something you're born with. I have many similar skills, and I'll tell you about them later."
Ling Yue sighed once again, "Genes are such a powerful thing. Just listen to this hate-inducing talk! Skills you're born with... sigh, the difference between people is already determined from the moment they're born."
"Then when do we set off?"
When Li Siqi heard this, she thought it was a done deal. You see, this Crown Prince was the most beloved son of the King of Hell. He insisted on working in the Underworld, but he never accomplished a single task. He caused chaos in the Underworld every day, and the City God was always worried about how to get rid of him!
Oh dear, thank goodness, we finally got rid of this big shot. But Li Siqi didn't dare to show it too obviously: "Your Highness, this is your first time going to the mortal world. You must consider it carefully. The City God only said to let you think about it. It's not that you have to be sent."
Upon hearing this, Lu Boqing wondered what it meant. He had finally landed a decent job and no longer had to waste his days in the wretched underworld. What was there to consider?
"Enough with the nonsense. Hurry up and lead the way, or your family will probably be sending you to the crematorium by now," Lu Boqing said, looking at Ling Yue.
These words jolted Ling Yue awake. If she were really sent to the crematorium, then all of this would have been in vain!
"Lord Li, why don't we hurry up and leave? Time waits for no one. We'd all like to be partners with each other."
Without saying a word, Li Siqi made a phone call to another ghost officer and summoned him over.
We must return the way we came.
They returned quickly, unlike when they came, when they had a fixed route and had to be picked up according to that route.
Upon returning, the two adults recited some kind of incantation, and the four of them arrived directly in the mortal realm.
Ling Yue saw that her parents and younger brother were still by her bedside. The hospital must have already refused to admit her anymore, and told them to prepare for the worst.
But they delayed sending Ling Yue to the crematorium. Liang Lina cried all day long, and Ling Guofu's hair turned white with worry. Ling Yi held her hand tightly, as if that would prevent his sister from disappearing.
Ling Yue was heartbroken to see this scene. She cried and begged the two ghost messengers to let her return to her body as soon as possible. She was so anxious that she was about to kowtow and beg them.
Li Siqi quickly helped Ling Yue up and said, "Don't worry, you haven't chosen to purchase the special ability you want to learn yet, so we can't determine your remaining lifespan."
Ling Yue hurriedly took out her phone, opened the Ghostly Talisman app, and saw that the homepage list was full of special abilities that could only be purchased with hundreds or thousands of merit points. Her palms were sweating because she only had ten merit points...
At this moment, Lu Boqing took the phone from her hand, and then his fingers flew across the screen, quickly purchasing special abilities for Ling Yue.
After the two ghost messengers took out their phones and received her payment record, they confirmed that her account had 1 merit point remaining. Then, the two of them simultaneously formed a hand seal, and Ling Yue's soul quickly returned to her body.
Li Siqi and Li Siming only turned and left after they saw Ling Yueyou open her eyes.
Ling Yi noticed first that Ling Yue's eyes were open. He immediately stood up and shouted to Ling Guofu, "Dad! Sister's awake! Come quick!"
Then they heard the sound of a chair falling over. Ling Guofu and Liang Lina rushed over and saw that Ling Yue had opened her eyes. They were overjoyed and burst into tears.
"I knew my daughter couldn't leave us like this, without any explanation!" Ling Guofu said, tears streaming down his face.
"Baby, are you hungry? Mommy made your favorite corn porridge. Wait a minute, Mommy will bring it to you now."
Liang Lina excitedly got up to leave, but Ling Yue grabbed her arm.
"Mom, I'm not hungry anymore. I'm fine. I'm sorry for making you worry."
Ling Yue's voice was still somewhat weak; her body hadn't eaten for several days and was very frail.
They stayed in the underworld for three hours, while six days had passed in the world of the living!
"How can I not be hungry? I haven't eaten for days. Guofu, go get some warm water for the baby. Xiaobao, go get a banana for your sister so she can have something to eat first."
So the whole family started to get busy. Ling Yue was moved to tears as she watched her family members excitedly busy themselves with their work in celebration of her resurrection, even though they didn't know that she had been resurrected from the dead.
Only then did Ling Yue notice Lu Boqing standing in the distance.
"What are you doing here? You'd better hide right now. What will I say if my family finds out?"
Ling Yue tried to sit up quickly, only to find that she didn't even have the strength. It wasn't that she wasn't hungry, but rather that she was so hungry that she no longer felt hungry...
"Don't worry, in the mortal realm, only you can see me. Do you think I don't even have this much power? I think what you should be most worried about right now is that you only have 1 merit left, which means you only have one day of life left. No, to be precise, you have 23 hours and 30 minutes left."
Looking at Lu Boqing's harmless smile, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
I quickly took out my phone and, now quite adept at it, tapped on the talisman to double-check my merit points. That damned bastard really spends as much as he has! Should I thank him for leaving me with 1 merit point?
