Detective Ghost Empress

334 The witch’s ghost

” Ah, that was sooo good,” Jia Li who relished the yin energy of the ghosts who were annihilated by her in the graveyard heaved a contented sigh as she patted her stomach and then said, ” It has been so long since I inhaled such good and pure yin energy, in the modern world the ghosts all have such disgusting yin energy since they all hold a such petty grudge. Like who becomes a ghost because your lover did not accept your bouquet of roses? If you are holding a grudge then at least hold one as grand as the general that we found in the graveyard. Haunting the grave of the Late great great great Emperor for giving him an unfair death.”

” You are right about that,” Li Gang burped as he cleaned his teeth with the tip of his pinky and then heaved a breath. ” I have to say now that I have sucked in the yin energy of this world I don’t want to go back to our world anymore.”

Grandma Lan Fen did not get a chance to say anything or much less share an opinion because, at that very moment, there was a gloomy sort of voice that echoed from the inside of the room.

” Is that so then why don’t you become one of those roaming ghosts of this world as well?”

The three of them whipped their heads to look at the gloomy aura that was coming from the person who stood in front of the bed with a very dangerous weapon in her hands while her hair dangled behind her moving with every flutter of wind that came from the window.

They could almost see dark, black energy rising from the back of Liu Hui Ying as they watched those dark eyes stare into their very soul with a dangerous glint in them.

” You three seemed to be having a lot of fun to the point that you even forgot that you have a boss that you need to protect and look after, what did you say before leaving me?” With her arms crossed in front of her and an air that seemed to be chopping every sort of happiness in the room to bits, Liu Hui Ying questioned the three ghosts. ” You three said that you will be only out for a while and then you will return back since you all have a duty and that is to keep me…your very mistress protected, look at the damn time! It’s freaking night and you all are returning just now?”

Jia Li and Grandma Lan Fen took a step behind while Li Gang who was too stupefied upon seeing Liu Hui Ying like this stood where he was which made Liu Hui Ying narrow her eyes as she said, ” Are you going to answer my question, Li Gang?”

Li Gang snapped out of his daze when he heard the words that Liu Hui Ying spoke to him and immediately turned to look around him. He looked left and then right before turning his head to look at the two women who were not daring to look him in the eyes one of them stared at the wall while the other one stared at the floor.

.....

Li Gang: “....” Why am I pushed to the front in every dangerous situation?

” That’s,” he turned to look at Liu Hui Ying with a fake expression of false bravado and then said, “It’s because…”

“It’s because…?” Liu Hui Ying dragged her words as she waited for Li Gang to reply to her.

‘Please say something that will calm her down!’ Jia Li tried to send her message to Li Gang through telepathy.

‘ I am banking on you, my dear,’ Grandam Lan Fen cheered on the other side but the two of them did not know that Li Gang was too scared of Liu Hui Ying to hear anything at the moment, he simply looked at Liu Hui Ying who was narrowing her eyes at him with every passing second and gulped as he finally answered, ” Thats because we can, you dumbass. You are our boss, not our mother!”

Silence. A silence like no other stretched over the four of them while Li Gang who realised what he just said to Liu Hui Ying and clasped a hand over his mouth, he had a bad habit of cursing a lot when he was cornered since no one was allowed to show weakness in the business that he did when he was alive, every time when he was cornered or met an opponent who was stronger than him, he would curse loudly to make it look like he was not at all scared.

He did the same just now with Liu Hui Ying because his old habits came to the surface again. Behind him, Jia Li and Grandma Lan Fen were already getting to their knees since they understood that there was no way they were going to get away from this mess anymore which was why the two of them pursed their lips and silently prepared themselves to receive a lashing.

Only Li Gang who still wanted to do a re-do dropped his hand from his mouth and then said with a straight yet panicking face, ” I mean …I did not mean that, what I wanted to say…I just wanted to say that you are not a baby..in fact, you are so strong like a King Kong and you are not even frail and vulnerable like a real woman. Honestly, the only thing that is feminine about you is the pair of tiddies that you have and I don’t think someone like you need to take protection from us minor ghosts, what do you say Hui Ying?”

He smiled at the latter who raised her head and smiled back at him giving a false sense of security to Li Gang who thought that everything was fine and that he was safe. ” What do I have to say eh?” Liu Hui Ying said with a sweet smile. ” I only have one thing to say and that is —— YOU ARE FORTUNATE THAT YOU ARE DEAD LI GANG, OR ELSE I WOULD HAVE KILLED YOU!”
