"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

……

Liu Da knocked for a full three minutes before waiting for a response from the owner of the house.

"Who is it!" Yu Qi, who was woken up early in the morning, was in a very bad mood.

When he opened the door, it was a ghost he didn't know at all. Yu Qi's impatient expression suddenly faded. Humans always remain calm and polite in front of strangers.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Yuqi?" Liu Da, who is also a human soul, also remained calm and polite, and there was no trace of impatience in waiting for a long time in his voice.

"you are?"

"My name is Liu Da, and I'm the Raksha ghost messenger of Yan Luodian."

Ghost messenger, Yu Qi slightly clenched the doorknob, did he do nothing wrong?

"Do you have anything to do with me?"

Liu Da smiled and introduced: "It's like this, Master Maoci sent me to tutor you in the ghost test."

"Sorry, I don't know Mr. Mao Ci you mentioned, did you find the wrong one?"

Frowning slightly, Liu Da took out the ghost mirror to confirm again: "Is this Miss Yuqi's house at No. 17, Row 174?"

"Um...yes." In a blink of an eye, Yu Qi suddenly figured it out.

"Well, I won't enroll in the remedial class, thank you." After speaking, before Liu Da could respond, Yu Qi quickly closed the door.

Well, it must be a door-to-door salesman, and I don't know where I found out that she wanted to take the ghost job test.

But since they were all woken up, Yu Qi didn't plan to go back to sleep and went to the kitchen to wash some fruit for breakfast, ready to start a new day.

And Liu Da outside the door quickly reported the incident to his boss, Maoci.

The demon world, a place of chaos.

Maoci also truthfully reported the matter to Shuanglang: "My lord, Miss Yuqi refused."

"why?"

"Miss Yuqi said no need."

Shuanglang frowned slightly: "If my sister takes the exam directly, what is the pass rate?"

This cat's speech has long been passed: "If you take the examination of Yan Luodian, the maximum probability is less than one percent. Liu Da is the smartest soul under my command. If you pass it once, if you go through his guidance, the pass rate should reach [-]%."

Shuang Lang expressed with his eyes that he was very dissatisfied with this number.

"My lord, after all, it's only two months, and ten percent is already very high." Mao Ci tried hard to prove that his subordinates are still very useful.

Shuang Lang still frowned.

Seeing this, Snake Qu on the side opened his mouth: "My lord, I have a solution."

Shuang Lang glanced at her, his chin lifted slightly.

After getting along for a few months, although I still haven't figured out Shuanglang, I still understand some of her general instructions and meanings, such as this chin lift, which is for her to say.

Snake Qu smiled slightly: "As long as there is a connection, it is not difficult to get admitted to the ghost job."

Maoci gave her a displeased look, while Shuanglang became thoughtful.

Seeing that Shuanglang didn't object, Shequ continued: "Master Shuanglang, it's nothing to pre-determine a ghost job from the examiner in your capacity..."

"Snake song!" Maoci interrupted her, "You are teaching bad sir!"

Snake Qu almost couldn't help but want to refute, but thinking that Shuanglang still relies more on Maoci now, she spent so much effort to climb to the position of Ghost Envoy, she can't fall down easily.

"I made a slip of the tongue, and I hope my lord will not blame me." Snake, who is well versed in the world, can bend and stretch, and immediately put on an apology gesture.

"Go around and see if there is any trace of Xiao Huairan."

After intentionally distracting the snake song, Maoci began to correct the worldview of the children in Shuanglang.

"My lord, in recent years, the lower levels of the underworld have become more and more chaotic. Unlike before, they relied on strength to speak. This snake song climbed to this position by bribing her boss. Although her ability is not bad, she uses The method is not the right way after all, you must not be led astray by her."

Shuanglang knew a little more than Maoci.

Over the past few years, although the lower levels of the underworld have become a little chaotic, the real power is still firmly in the hands of the ghost kings of the Ten Palaces. The chaos is not deliberately let the lower levels play, this is called sweetness.

Well, that's what King Yama told her when he called her over that day?Shuanglang didn't remember clearly either, anyway, Yan Wang's intention was to let her learn more about how to behave in the world from Snake Qu.

"...My lord! Are you listening?" Maoci frowned tightly. Granny Meng assigned her to Shuanglang so that she could take care of Shuanglang instead of her. She couldn't let Shuanglang be misled by snakes.

Shuang Lang nodded seriously: "That's right."

Well, Mao Ci is right. Indeed, bribing the examiner is really not a good way. Since you want to bribe, why not learn the snake song and go directly to bribe the boss. Being a ghost envoy should be much easier than a ghost, right?There must be a lot of merit points earned, and I can see my sister every day.

Maoci, who thought he had pulled Shuanglang back on track, breathed a sigh of relief, and took out the ghost mirror to send a message to Liu Da.

Master Mao Ci: This matter is an order directly issued by Master Shuanglang, if you can't handle it, you can go to work elsewhere.

Liu Da's back turned cold, is Lord Maoci implying that Master Shuanglang already thinks he is useless?

After calming down and thinking quickly, Liu Da knocked on the door of No. 174 again.

Opening the door again, Yu Qi was a little unhappy when he saw that it was still the one selling the tutoring class: "I told you I don't need it."

"Sorry, just now I contacted Lord Maoci, and it was Lord Shuanglang who gave the order, so you should accept my guidance."

Yu Qi was a little surprised: "Did Shuang Lang ask you to come?"

Seeing that things had turned around, Liu Da nodded quickly: "Yes, my boss Mao Ci is the ghost of Lord Devil May Cry Raksha Shuanglang."

"..." Was Xiao Shuanglang misunderstood by her casual question yesterday about the ghost test?

"Can I go in?" The first step to close the distance is to break into the enemy's territory first.

"Please tell Xiao Shuanglang, I am very grateful for her kindness, but there is no need." Originally, the ghost test was a backup plan, but now that she has found a way to make money, naturally it is not needed.

Although civil servants are very attractive, the chances of passing the exam are too low, so she should live well for now.

Liu Da was in a hurry. The task instruction he received last night was very straightforward: tutor Yu Qi to pass the ghost test.

If it was the resignation from the boss, Mao, he could understand it as trying to pass the ghost test, but if it was from Shuanglang, it was completely different, it meant that he had to pass absolutely, and if he couldn't finish it, he would get out.

"Miss Yuqi, can I ask why you don't want me to tutor you in the ghost job assessment?"

"No, no, it has nothing to do with you. It's my own problem. It must be difficult to take the ghost test, right? I'm... ghost, I'm not smart at all, so I must fail the test so don't waste time." Yu Qi Tell the truth.

Liu Da pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "The chance of passing is very low, but if you accept my tutoring and study hard, I believe you will definitely pass the exam."

Yu Qi held his forehead slightly, feeling quite helpless: "...Why are you so persistent in asking me to take the ghost job test? Is it because of performance?"

"No, it's just that if I can't guide you to pass the ghost test, then my own ghost job will not be guaranteed. Please help me." After finishing speaking, Liu Da sincerely bowed to Yuqi .

"Don't, don't, don't do this." Yu Qi panicked, and hurriedly pulled Liu Da up, "...Why don't you come in and sit down first." It's not very polite to always let someone stand at the door.

"Thank you." Liu Da obediently followed Yu Qi in.

Break into enemy territory, success.

After closing the door, Yuqi walked towards the kitchen. If a guest came to the house, he should pour a glass of water for him no matter what: "I just came to the underworld, and the house is relatively simple, so you can sit down wherever you want."

"it is good."

It is indeed very simple, but there is also a lot of information. Liu Da quickly analyzed various objects in the room.

By the time Yu Qi finished pouring the water and came out, he already had a rough plan for persuading her.

Although the house is simple, it has a lot of small items. It seems that she is a girl with a sense of ritual in life. She is obviously lacking in things, but she can go to the kitchen to pour water when she invites herself in, which shows that The upbringing etiquette is very good, which reflects the good family background during his lifetime.

And her appearance, he checked the information before he came, and Yu Qi had only been in the underworld for no more than three days, but he paid attention to her appearance without knowing the underworld, it seems that she should be a girl who loves beauty.

For a girl who just came to the underworld and lived a good life and loved exquisite items and beauty, the way to persuade her is very simple.

money.

To maintain these habits and a pretty face, money must be what she lacks the most.

Putting the water glass in front of Liu Da, Yu Qi sat down opposite.

Picking up the water glass and taking a sip, Liu Da went straight to the point: "Miss Yuqi, have you ever heard about the salary of ghost messengers?"

"Just call me Yuqi. I don't know about it, but it should be pretty good."

With a smile, Liu Da and Yu Qi discussed the salary issue: "The monthly salary of the first-level ghosts is two thousand, the second-level ghosts are three thousand, the third-level ghosts are four thousand, the fourth-level ghosts are four thousand, and starting from the third-level ghosts. You can accept tasks and receive rewards on your own, and if you work harder, it will not be a problem to get seven or eight thousand a month, in addition to various subsidies."

Yu Qi is not a fool either, she can see that Liu Da is tempting her to take the ghost test, but she feels that she really can't pass the test: "Well, it's pretty good. But to be honest, it's not that I don't want to take the test, it's just that I really can't pass the exam."

"How do you know that you can't do it if you don't try? And it's not like you are asked to take the test directly. Please believe in yourself and me, okay?"

After thinking for a long time, Yu Qi finally sighed. In fact, since she invited Liu Da to come in, she was already moved: "Then I'll try it, but let me say first, I'm not the kind who will be in a rope. Hanging grasshopper, yesterday I found a job that makes money, so I will accept your tutoring, but only in the afternoon, in the morning I will go to set up a stall on Qinguang Street."

Liu Da frowned: "This time may not be enough, there are only two months before the ghost test."

"Only two months?!" Yu Qi was startled, two months to prepare for an exam that she had never been exposed to?Just kidding!

Before Yu Qi started to retreat, Liu Da blocked her mouth: "Although it is a bit abrupt, I still want to ask, do you mind if I stay with you?"

Yu Qi: "... Huh?"

Chapter 12

"Dong dong dong."

"Dong dong dong."

……

"Who is it!" The familiar knock on the door sounded, and Yu Qi was awakened again.

Liu Da heard her voice outside the door and replied: "I, Liu Da."

That's right, this kind of rhythmic and disturbing knock on the door can only be Liu Da.

There was no news from the door again, but after these few days of getting along, Liu Da also understood Yu Qi's habits, as long as she woke up, it would definitely be difficult for her to fall asleep again.

"I put breakfast on the table. After you finish eating, remember to review what you said last night before you go out." He took out the ghost mirror and looked at the time. It was time for him to go out and report to Yan Luodian.

"I am leaving."

After lying quietly for a while, Yu Qi resigned to his fate irritably and got up.

She began to regret it, and regretted it quite a bit. She should not have agreed to Liu Da to take the ghost test that day, and she should not have agreed to let him live in her home so that she could make up lessons for herself at night.

However, when he saw the steaming food on the table, all the restlessness disappeared.

One of the biggest advantages of Liu Da living in her house is that he can use that weird pot!

After knowing that Yuqi still maintains human living habits, Liu Da not only did not express any opinions, but also enthusiastically contracted Yuqi's breakfast, which was the only meal she could eat hot food.

Moving the breakfast to the newly purchased afternoon tea table on the balcony, she ate her breakfast while basking in the moonlight to review the knowledge points she learned last night.

Well, according to Liu Da, these strange red light sources in the underworld are the moonlight from the moon, and it is good for ghosts to bask in the moonlight if there is nothing to do, so Yuqi has this habit of basking in the moonlight.

Last night Liu Da told her about the ranks of the underworld, the largest being the ten ghost kings, followed by the titles of Rakshasa and Judge.After that, there are ghost messengers of all levels and bull-headed horse faces guarding the gate of the ghost hall, and the rest are ghost messengers of all levels.

These are not difficult, and Yu Qi finished all the review after eating breakfast.

"Boom boom boom!"

The knock on the door sounded again, but this time it came from outside the gate, and the door spirit on the door said reluctantly: "The little girl who sent Huang Quanban is here."

Yu Qi nodded: "Let her in."

Then the door spirit opened the door and let Ah Cai in.

"Sister, this is today's Huangquan Magazine." A Cai smiled and handed over ten pieces of paper to Yu Qi.

After receiving the Yellow Spring Journal, Yu Qi handed A Cai an apple: "Well, haven't you had breakfast yet? Eat an apple before leaving."

"Thank you sister." A Cai gnawed on an apple and sat opposite Yu Qi.

Recently, they have gotten to know a lot of them because of their business dealings (newspaper delivery service), and they have developed to the point that if A Cai doesn’t have any business in the future, she will stay at Yuqi’s for a while longer to chat with Yuqi after delivering the newspaper. .

"Sister, why did you unseal the door spirit?"

Yu Qi, who was looking down at the newspaper, glanced at Menling, and easily found that it was eavesdropping.

"Last night, Liu Da told me that the protective array of Menling's residence will not be effective if it is not unsealed. I don't want any weird things to come to my house in the middle of the night,"

A Cai glanced at Men Ling with disgust: "It's the only one that can activate the protective array?"

Since it was involved in the conversation, the door spirit would not swallow his anger: "Little girl, why are you blind..."

"Huh?" Yu Qi interrupted Men Ling with a threatening tone.

Men Ling could only accept the curse words unwillingly: "My uncle's absorption and use of ghost energy is much better than your little girl!"

A Cai didn't pay attention to what it said, but asked Yuqi in surprise: "Then sister, how did you tame this door-breaker to be obedient?"

Turning to the next page of Huangquan Magazine, Yu Qi answered her question casually: "We signed the ghost contract, and I promise not to seal it, and it can no longer swear at others, and it must be a good doorman." Some responsibilities are not taming, but temporary reconciliation."

hateful!If it wasn't for that man's soul and this dead girl who occupied the magpie's nest and threatened to replace it, would it have signed such a treaty of humiliating power and humiliating the country?Men Ling cursed inwardly.

After reading Huang Quan's magazine Yuqi, she went out. Her business in the plaid shop has already started. Although the business is average, she can still make four or five orders every day, and there is a repeat customer who made an appointment today, maybe in the future Can it develop into a regular customer?

For the past few days, Liu Da has been waking up Yu Qi according to the reporting time of ghost messengers, and ghost messengers usually don't need to enter the dormant state of soul dispersal, so their reporting time can be said to be very, very early.

After Yuqi slowly finished his breakfast and read the Huangquan magazine, he arrived at Qinguang Street very early. At this time, Qinguang Street was rare and deserted, and only a few shopkeepers were preparing to open their shops.

Walking to Granny Liu's lattice shop with ease, she used the ghost mirror to unseal the lattice shop, and she quickly arranged things one by one.

After finishing her busy work, she sat behind the small table and took out the book "On How Ghosts Avoid Disappearing Souls" that she had borrowed from Mingshu Pavilion before, and while waiting for ghosts to come to her door, she read the book to pass the time.

The number of ghosts on the street gradually increased, and Yu Qi also welcomed today's first guest, a snow fox demon spirit.

There are a pair of beautiful fox ears between the long silver hair, a big fluffy tail swaying gently behind him, and the facial features are uniquely beautiful: "Boss, here I come."

Yu Qi put down the book and greeted her: "Morning, Miss Hu Ruirui."

This is Yuqi's first repeat customer, the demon fox Rurui. It is said that she also has a checkered shop on another street in the daily grocery circle, and she usually sells some bracelets she made herself.

"What makeup do you want to wear today?" Yu Qi took out the cosmetics she bought, and she was very careful. These things cost her more than 1000 points, so she couldn't shake her hands and drop them.

Hu Ruirui sat on the seat in front of Yuqi, put 7 merit points on the table, said softly with a slightly red face, "Just melt the one from yesterday."

Yesterday, the lord finally took a look at her. She felt that it was because she did a good job of makeup yesterday. She was delighted in her heart and at the same time looked forward to the lord passing by here again today.

After putting on Hu Ruirui's makeup, the little girl bowed politely to thank her, and then walked away happily.

"Girl, today's business is good, it opened so early." Granny Liu walked over with a smile.

Yu Qi touched his head in embarrassment: "Good morning, mother-in-law. Well, business is gradually improving."

After helping Granny Liu put out the few embroideries that she made yesterday, Granny Liu went to the checkered shop to make the clothes ordered by the customers, while Yuqi watched the shop from the front, and occasionally came to ask about the embroidery. Customers, she can also help Granny Liu answer some simple price questions, and the two ghosts cooperate very happily.

"Girl, why haven't you been in a good mood lately?"

Yu Qi sighed: "It should be because I haven't slept well recently." Since she began to learn the knowledge needed for the ghost test from Liu Da, she has never had a good night's sleep.

I don't know if it's because Hu Ruirui is more popular, anyway, after putting on Hu Ruirui's makeup, Yuqi's customers began to increase.

It wasn't until he finished drawing the last guest in the afternoon that Yu Qi realized that he had to go back to make up lessons in the afternoon.

When I hurried back home, there was a problem with the key, and I couldn't open the door no matter what.

After fumbling for a long time, the door opened from the inside.

Yu Qi immediately bowed at [-] degrees sincerely and apologized to Liu Da: "I'm sorry, I didn't forget on purpose, I was too busy today, so I accidentally forgot, sorry, sorry!"

This can be regarded as letting Liu Da dove off, she is wrong no matter what.

"..." Chaoyan was a little overwhelmed by the female ghost outside the door.

Hearing no response, Yu Qi became even more uneasy. It's over, Liu Da won't be really angry.

Quietly Mimi raised her head a little.

Um?Black Martin boots?Why not leather shoes? Didn't Liu Da only wear black leather shoes?

Look up, black overalls?Further up, the black shirt was worn loosely on the slender body.

"Miss, are you here to ask for an autograph?" Chao Yan leaned against the door with a half-smile.

After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Yu Qi was stunned: "Chao... Chaoyan?!"

"It's me, are you here to ask for an autograph? Let me tell you first, I'm no longer a star, so you can ask for an autograph, but you're not allowed to come back after you get it." Chaoyan said as he walked into the room.

Yu Qi stayed where he was at a loss.

If she read it right just now, this is the film emperor Chaoyan, right? !

The best singer, best actor, popularity king, and various dance awards are all just one of the many labels on him. He was once called the darling of heaven by the media!

It's just a pity that three years before Yu Qi's death, Chao Yan fell to his death from a high altitude during a concert tour.It is said that it was an accident, but in the last video captured by the camera, Chao Yan jumped off the stage calmly with a smile on his face.

This video made many fans think that he committed suicide, but he is dead, and no amount of speculation is in vain.

Fortunately, the fans burned enough photos for him, so Chaoyan picked one at random, signed it smartly, walked to the door and handed it to Yuqi: "Goodbye."

He took the signed photo blankly, and then, the gate mercilessly attacked Yu Qi's beautiful face, almost pinching her nose.

Everyone likes to watch rare things, let alone a film star, but Yu Qi stayed for a while, and she came back to her senses after Chaoyan closed the door.

I looked up and saw that the house number was indeed minus 174?

Yu Qi had no choice but to knock on the door again, and after opening the door this time, Chao Yan was not so kind, his handsome brows were tightly frowned: "Miss, what do you want if I'm dead!"

"No, I didn't mean to disturb you, this is No. 174, right." Yu Qi was a little frightened by the yelling.

"so?"

"But number 174 is my home."

Hearing this, Chao Yan sneered: "I've lived here for almost five years, you said it's your home?"

Yu Qi hurriedly held up the key to show him: "Look, this is indeed my house, and it says on the key."

Chao Yan took the key with a frown, glanced at it and then looked up at Yu Qi, his expression eased a lot: "Miss, you are number 17 in the 174th row, this is the 16th row."

Yu Qi's face turned red all of a sudden: "Huh? I'm sorry."

She apologized embarrassingly and ran away.

After being stunned for a while, Chaoyan smiled helplessly and closed the door. It turned out to be a misunderstanding.

And Yu Qi, who came back late, was dragged by Liu Da to make up lessons until four o'clock in the morning.

When I was late and missed the class, I always had to cry to make up for it.
