Chapter 1, Fengdu Leave Office, is now online!
Old Xu's General Store.

Xu Qingling gazed at the dilapidated little shop in front of her, the place where she had grown up.

She simply couldn't imagine that this was the place where the underworld and the mortal world met, the now famous Fengdu Request Office of the Underworld, which excites all ghosts.

She also couldn't believe that her grandfather, who had raised her since she was a child, was not an ordinary person, but a god who had descended to earth to undergo tribulation.

She couldn't believe that she, a patient diagnosed with congenital heart disease by modern medicine and given only three days to live, could suddenly become lively and live to be a hundred years old as long as she took over as the director of the Leave Department!

But this is, after all, the home where she grew up!
Xu Qingling pushed open the door, carrying her suitcase.

The room was dark.

My grandfather passed away a month ago, and the small shop has been neglected ever since. The display cases on the first floor are covered in dust.

Following the instructions in the envelope, Xu Qingleng walked to the offering table and lit three incense sticks.

Next, a red button embedded in the wall was found next to the old man's portrait.

She took a deep breath and pressed down hard.

In an instant, the button shone brightly, its eerie red light filling the entire first-floor lobby.

Xu Qingling was bathed in a red light, her figure slender and graceful. She wore a black dress, which made her appear even more mysterious in the red light. The black on her body seemed to become a stream of light, merging into the eerie red light.

A moment later, Xu Qingling felt that her heart, which had been aching slightly, seemed to be hurting less.

The sunlight that had been streaming into the first floor had disappeared, but the place wasn't dark; it seemed to be enveloped in a hazy, alternating shimmering light of black and red.

The once empty lobby suddenly had a long sandalwood table with a computer on it, and on the wall behind it, there seemed to be a projection screen hanging.

This combination of modern and ancient should have been abrupt and strange, but somehow it turned out to be surprisingly harmonious.

Xu Qingling looked up.

Under the previously empty roof beams, a red plaque had appeared at some point.

The five large black characters, “Fengdu Leave Office,” gleamed with an eerie and mysterious light.

At this moment, a ring engraved with red spider lilies on the middle finger of Xu Qingling's right hand also emitted a red light, as if something was coming out of the ring.

As the light faded, a pretty girl of about fifteen years old, dressed in a red dress, appeared in front of Xu Qingling.

Upon seeing Xu Qingling, the young girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately curtsied, saying, "Sasha greets Director."

Xu Qingling nodded slightly, not surprised by Sasha's appearance.

Looking at everything before her, she couldn't help but recall what had happened over the past month.

A month ago, her grandfather, who had taken her home from the snow when she was a month old and raised her, passed away. Xu Qingling rushed back from Beijing University to handle the funeral arrangements.

Her grandfather left her a letter.

There's also a strange ring in this general store.

The envelope was addressed to Xu Qingling, who was on her deathbed.

She always remembered her grandfather's words, and when the hospital diagnosis told her she only had three days to live, she opened the letter.

At the same time, it opened the door to a new world...

The letter said that Grandpa was a deity who came to earth to undergo tribulations, and now he has departed after fulfilling his merits.

The only thing she couldn't let go of was her granddaughter, who suffered from congenital heart disease, was physically weak, and lacked emotions.

He predicted that Xu Qingling wouldn't live long, and just then, the Underworld established the Fengdu Leave Office. So, Old Man Xu used his connections to get her the position of Director of the Fengdu Leave Office.

Once Xu Qingling takes over this position, she will no longer be an ordinary person, but a person from the underworld, and will naturally live to be a hundred years old.

The downside is that it can also get sick.

Sasha is a red spider lily that has become a spirit on the road to the underworld, specifically there to protect and assist Xu Qingling.

In the end, Grandpa's wish was that she could live a good life, slowly regain her emotions, and find someone who loves her to spend the rest of her life with.

Xu Qingling didn't care about any of that.

She only cared about the grandfather who raised her.

Since her grandfather wanted her to live, she would live well.

Xu Qingling walked to the long table, sat down, and turned on the computer.

Right now.

The Fengdu Leave Request Office is now online!
At the very moment the Fengdu Leave Office opened, a sudden gust of cold wind swept through the entire office, and the temperature plummeted.

Suddenly, a red and black alternating halo appeared on the ground, and a moment later, a female ghost appeared in the halo.

Before Xu Qingling could react, the female ghost pounced on her, her voice urgent and eerie, sending chills down her spine.

"Director, you're finally back at work! I need to ask for leave to go back to the human world to see my husband and daughter."

Seeing this, Sasha waved her hand, and a red light flashed in her hand.

The female ghost was instantly sent flying backward and crashed to the ground.

"How dare you be so disrespectful to adults!" the petite Sasha scolded, her face full of seriousness.

The female ghost sat on the ground and regained her senses. She quickly knelt down and said respectfully, "Chief, I would like to ask for leave to go back to the human world to see my husband and daughter."

She was a young, pretty woman in her early twenties, her spirit flickering and not quite solid, and blood was still dripping from her lower body.

Fortunately, the blood didn't drip onto the ground.

It's just that the temperature is a bit low.

Xu Qingling, who was already sensitive to the cold, sneezed and then quietly took out a coat from her suitcase and put it on.

The female ghost was very anxious, but she dared not move.

Xu Qingling could understand the urgency in the female ghost's eyes.

After all, since a hundred years ago, the management of the underworld has become increasingly strict. Only on the seventh day after death can the soul return to the human world. At other times, they can only stay in the underworld. This has led to many ghosts with lingering attachments being unwilling to reincarnate and remaining in the underworld.

Now, a century later, the underworld has become increasingly crowded, which is why the Fengdu Leave Office was established.

Xu Qingling, who had returned to her seat, looked at the computer backend. The Leave Department had only been established for two days, but the number of leave applications from the ghosts of the underworld had already exceeded 999 million, and it was still soaring!

Xu Qing sighed silently to herself, "Your name is Su Qian?"

"Yes, my lord."

Su Qian just happened to be the first ghost on the application form.

It's clear she was eager to go home, otherwise she wouldn't have been ranked first.

"Let me see if you meet the requirements," Xu Qingling said as she opened Su Qian's file.

"Yes, yes, thank you, sir!"

Su Qian nervously counted in her mind. When she reached five, Xu Qingling's emotionless voice rang out, "Su Qian, you don't meet the requirements. Next."

Su Qian froze on the spot, her face full of disbelief. "How is this possible!"

"Director, how could I not meet the requirements? Is there some mistake? Please check it for me again!"

“No mistake, it doesn’t match.” Xu Qingling’s tone remained unchanged in the face of Su Qian’s questioning.

"impossible!"

My new book is here! I hope you'll all support it. And to my old readers, are you still here?
