335 The witch’s ghost

” Oh for the love of God, let me off! Please let me off! I beg you, I am going to serve you with my heart, soul and body! I will be your dog! Hui Ying let me off! I am your brother from another mother, man! OWW! Ouch! Not my crotch, not my crotch, don’t kick me in the crotch,! AW fck, man! I will become a eunuch at this rate!”

” I have a granddaughter to take care of, I am old and forgetful please let me go! No! Don’t be so harsh! I am sorry, please forgive me! Not my back, please not my back, don’t smack my back, I am too old! ”

” I am too young to die! I am too young to die! Lord have mercy! I am just a humpty dumpty! I am too young! FCK NOT MY FACE! AND DON’T TIE ME UP, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WATCH THE OPERA!”

Of course, a beating was unavoidable after the failure of their duties, the three ghosts stayed on the floor while recovering from their injuries as Liu Hui Ying threw the long fan to the side and went to sit down on the bed with a plop as she crossed her arms in front of her again.

” This will be the next time I will let you three off with just a minor beating,” she ignore the three resentful gazes as they looked at her. ” If you dare to leave your post and have fun, I will make it so that you three will have a lot of fun in the underworld, don’t forget that there are many who will die to take your place.”

” Like hell, they will,” muttered Li Gang under his breath nursing his little brother as he rubbed it with his hands. ” Serving you is the same as serving the demon lord may be worse than that since you are so cruel to your own servants!”

” Did you say something?” Liu Hui Ying turned her head to look at Li Gang with a sweet expression, of course, she heard what he said just now but she was too tired to pick up the fan again and then beat the sh*t out of this man again. After all, he was someone who would court death again and again if not he would not have died at such a young age, Li Gang was a fool who did not know when to stop since he did not have anyone he needed to care about.

” I said you were the most beautiful and majestic woman, I have seen even more wonderful and strong than a demon lord! I am so touched to be your servant!” With his hands joined together as if he was praying Li Gang brought his joined hands closer to his cheek and blinked at Liu Hui Ying with a gaze that seemed to scream, ‘ I adore you more than you think I do.’

Liu Hui Ying looked at him with a creeped-out expression as she looked at him with her eyes twitching as she said, ” Can you not do something so cringy? Or do I need to smack your head again to make it work properly?”

.....

‘ There you go, if we praise you, you will smack us...if I don’t praise you then you will smack me even harder, just what kind of slave establishment was this?’ Li Gang muttered in his head as he dropped his creepy smile and then said to Liu Hui Ying, ” Why are you even this angry? What happened if were not there?”

Liu Hui Ying glanced at him with gaze as she scoffed, ” I am glad that you are finally asking the right question.”

She then began to tell the happenings in the graveyard to which the three ghosts started to listen carefully and by the time Liu Hui Ying was finished telling them the story, all of them were looking at her with their mouths hanging open.

” You mean to say that the man is really here? Did he come after us?” Li Gang questioned as he punched his fist in his hand, now he was a bit regretful that he was not with Liu Hui Ying. If he was with her then he could have caught the man and they might be on their way to go back home now.

Liu Hui Ying did not answer his question, she too could not understand why and who that man was ——was he someone from this world who escaped to her world and if so then why? Why would he go through eras and time just to kill her sister? And if he was from the modern world, what kind of grudge he had against her for him to chase after her this far?

Before she only had a small suspicion that the man was here but now that she saw the blue roses she knew that the man was really here and there was no need for her to investigate anything.

” I don’t know whether this will help or not but I met with a witch in the graveyard,” Jia Li spoke as she carefully thought over what Liu Hui Ying told her and then she said, ” The witch told me the second she saw me that I did not belong to this world and I came here because something or someone brought us here deliberately.”

” She did?” Liu Hui Ying was very surprised when she heard Jia Li’s words in fact even with her wits she was getting crazy trying to decipher the truth of her appearance in this world. ” What else did she say?”

” I…she did not say anything else,” upon Liu Hui Ying’s question Jia Li became awkward as she replied with a smile that was a bit cheeky and flustered. ” The witch is crazy maybe she was beaten to death by the people who ordered her to be killed, which is why she talks as if she sane one second and then will become insane another second. I could not get another answer from her.”

Liu Hui Ying raised her hand and placed it under her chin as she hummed, ” It does not matter, she is the only link that we found after so long. Insane or not, we will have to go and visit her.” She paused and sneered, ” I will see how long she will be crazy once she receives a heavy beating.”
