But given the current situation...
He had indeed never seen it.
Any intelligent and mentally sound spirit would understand upon seeing this scene that the person opposite is no ordinary individual.
They are not to be trifled with, nor dared to be.
"Yes, you are Mr. Li En?" An Chen nodded slightly.
"Yes, please!" Upon hearing this, Li En dared not slack off in the slightest.
He waved his hand at the wall next to the road to heaven, and a door appeared out of thin air.
"This is my temporary office." Li En gestured for him to enter and stood respectfully behind An Chen.
His office was large and spacious, and the layout was simple, but it was dark all around, making it look like a haunted place.
Even the walls were black; it didn't feel like the human world at all.
If it weren't for the blue light shining on it, it would be so dark inside that you couldn't see anything at all.
“It suits your style very well,” An Chen said after looking around.
"..." Jiu Ge clung tightly to An Chen's arm, not daring to let go.
She felt as if she had entered the underworld.
If we wait a little longer, big shots like the King of Hell or the King of the Underworld might appear.
"It's rather simple, and there's nothing to entertain the living. You might not be able to make stools or anything like that because your yang energy is too strong. I'm sorry." Li En stood respectfully to the side, maintaining a perfectly appropriate smile on his face.
The Paradise store was merely a communication point for him to enter his office, not his residence.
Even Xu Daguan got this wrong.
When Zhang Zhidong arrived, Li En also sensed the presence of the heroic spirit and respectfully came out to greet him.
He also had a very good impression of Zhang Zhidong.
As a spirit messenger who has seen countless spirits, Li En is unlikely to misjudge more than one out of a thousand spirits he encounters.
"It's okay, we're not hungry." An Chen raised his hand and waved in the air.
Two chairs appeared out of thin air.
“?” Li En was shocked.
"..." Jiuge's mouth opened slightly.
She didn't even realize that An Chen had just mixed a paper chair into the spirit coins...
"We need your help." An Chen gently raised his arm and detached his wrist.
The air conditioning suddenly became extremely cold.
To Li En's astonishment, a large amount of cold air was evenly distributed into Jiu Ge and An Chen's bodies.

"Who are you two...?" Li En licked his lips, his eyes darting around.
In a short while, An Chen and Jiu Ge had already entered an extremely yin state.
He wouldn't believe it if you told him these two weren't some big shots.
“On the surface, we are members of the association, responsible for managing this area of the pseudo-capital.” An Chen straightened his clothes and pulled Jiu Ge to sit on the stool.
He deliberately emphasized the word "surface".
"..." Jiuge was surprised for a moment, but she didn't show it.
"What kind of help do you want me to do?" Li En had a general idea in mind.
The two people in front of us are not only very influential, but their true identities cannot be revealed.
To put it another way, An Chen and Jiu Ge's visit to him was probably similar to an ancient emperor traveling incognito.
Li En suddenly understood why a heroic spirit had come to tell him about this.
"How long have you been doing this?" An Chen didn't answer directly, but pointed to Li En's own table, indicating that Li En could sit down as well.
If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way.
If you don't project the right image at this point and fail to convey that this person is someone of great importance, it will be difficult to get them to agree to the subsequent topics and requests.
“It’s been decades,” Li En replied after a moment’s hesitation.
He hadn't expected An Chen to ask him that question.
“That’s right, he should be a high-ranking official by now.” An Chen nodded.
"..." Jiu Ge pondered An Chen's meaning for a while, then put on a very aloof expression for Li En.
"No, no, I wouldn't dare," Li En quickly shook his head.
"When will you be going back to the Underworld next?" An Chen asked quietly.
He smiled at Li En again and pulled out a large wad of spirit coins from his pocket.
"There are still so many?" Li En couldn't help but blurt it out.
Jiuge's eyes widened, and she had the same question as Li En.
She thought it had all been burned.
"After I finish receiving you two, I will return to the Underworld." After a long pause, Li En realized that he had not yet answered An Chen's question.
"These are all your reward." An Chen waved his hand, and a large stack of spirit coins that he had just taken out floated directly into Li En's hand.
"So many?..." Li En's eyes widened in disbelief.
This amount of spirit coins, and so many of them, must be equivalent to several months' salary for him.
"What do you need me to do?" He carefully put the spirit coins into his pocket, and then gave An Chen a fawning smile.
“It’s simple, just take us with you when you go back to the Underworld.” An Chen grasped Jiu Ge’s hand and leaned forward.
"...Is there something you and Miss Jiuge want to do in the Underworld?"
Li En hesitated.
If it were discovered by the higher-ups that he had led living people down there, that would be a serious crime.
"As required for the mission, all you need to do is lead us down and tell us how to get back up. We won't expose your information." An Chen's tone was more like issuing a command than a discussion.
“…” Li En fell silent.
He had already accepted the spirit coins, and the two people in front of him seemed to be quite influential as well.
If you refuse...
An Chen didn't seem like the type to allow himself to refuse.
If it came to a fight, Lee Eun knew very well that he would definitely lose.
Seeing that Li En was thinking, An Chen and Jiu Ge were not in a hurry.
The two sat comfortably on the stools, looking relaxed and at ease.
Li En glanced at An Chen and Jiu Ge every now and then, and then looked down at the ground every now and then.
Five minutes later, he sighed.
"I see."
Li En stood up and popped two yellow papers out of his pants.
He spat a few times into his hand, pretending to spit, and then began writing on the yellow paper with his finger.
“If you want to go back to the mortal world, just stick it on your head,” Li En said, handing the yellow paper to An Chen.
"Okay." An Chen nodded, put the paper away in his pocket.
"..." Jiuge frowned slightly.
Although the other party is a spirit, the saliva is not real.
But in this extremely yin environment... she began to doubt whether the previous conditions were even valid.
"Please sit here and wait a moment. I'll take you downstairs after I've finished tidying up." Li En straightened up and bowed to An Chen.
He then dragged the stool to the table and began organizing his documents.
……
At eight o'clock in the evening, Li En led An Chen and Jiu Ge to a desolate wilderness.
The mournful cries of birds echoed one after another, and small black creatures darted about by the roadside.
Although no spirits have been seen with the naked eye yet, their scent is very strong.
"Ugh!" Jiuge shivered as soon as she arrived at this gloomy place.
“You’ve never done this kind of work before, so you probably don’t know exactly how to find a place to go down.” Li En hunched over, sniffing around.
"Would a place like a cemetery be suitable?" An Chen nodded thoughtfully.
Places with heavy yin energy are indeed very suitable for spirits to live in.
“Except for the Zhang family tomb.” Li En glanced back at An Chen.
He has been working in this area for a while and is quite familiar with the various cemeteries in the region.
Because of the spirit of Zhang Zhidong, the Zhang family tomb usually doesn't have much yin energy.
At most, the yin energy might be stronger there on days like Qingming Festival.
“As a spirit messenger, you should be able to go down directly.” An Chen squinted, scrutinizing Li En’s back.
"I'm just a nobody who's struggled in the underworld for years and finally managed to get a position. I still have to keep my job," Li En said with a self-deprecating laugh, his tone helpless.
It's not that I don't trust An Chen, it's just that there are spirits beyond spirits, and heavens beyond heavens.
Furthermore, the underworld, like the mortal realm, is also overpopulated.
If we take the two of them down directly, no matter how careful we are, we might still encounter some malevolent spirit.
