Detective Ghost Empress

346 Plan B

Liu Hui Ying broke the gaze that she was sharing with the Emperor, she could not understand why and how she did not feel disgusted by the scent that was surrounding her. Maybe she was getting used to him? That was the only plausible explanation after all there was no way she will ever fall in love with a man since she has been disgusted by the lot of them for a very long time and coupled with her sister’s distaste towards men it was simply impossible for her to find any man likeable at all.

Which was why she did not even think about it and simply turned her attention to the ghost warrior that the person has sent after her. She could feel the special dark energy that was overlapping with the yin energy of the ghost itself, she wanted to trace the dark aura that was surrounding the ghost warrior but then she realised that there were no lingering traces left behind by the man she has been looking for so many years.

It was just as the witch said, thought Liu Hui Ying in her head as she looked at the ghost warrior that was pressing his sword against the king’s, that man was scared to see her which was why he was keeping a distance from her since her sister has sealed half of his powers at her last moment.

” Step aside, your esteemed majesty,” Liu Hui Ying summoned her own rapier that had an array drawn with blood on it. With a golden glow, the rapier sword came into existence as it materialised right in the hands of Liu Hui Ying who took a step forward and then asked Zhai Tianyu to step behind her.

” I can take him down,” said Zhai Tianyu, he might not be able to fight ghosts and spirits but he could fight in case the ghost belonged to a warrior. He has learned sword fighting for a very long time maybe ever since he was a child which was why he was confident that he was going to win against this ghost.

” I know,” Liu Hui Ying summoned a talisman before she turned to look at Zhai Tianyu and said, ” but this is my fight.”

As she spoke she threw the talisman at the ghost warrior that lunged out of the spot but still could not dodge the rapier that Liu Hui Ying was holding, coupled with the fact that she had three ghosts to aid her. The ghost warrior looked like a child who was getting bullied by the teen kids in the neighbourhood.

Li Gang alone was enough to put an end to that thing as he kicked and punched at the ghost warrior who was getting pushed by Liu Hui Ying into a corner. The ghost warrior seemed to have sensed that he could not deal with the four of them together which was he turned furious and opened his mouth as he raised his head and with his rotting skin and dark teeth that seemed to be turning black he yelled in fury.

Before it started to make a hand seal that caused Liu Hui Ying narrowed her eyes as she ordered, ” Everyone fall back! Your majesty stay behind me!”

.....

Zhai Tianyu was stunned when he saw that Liu Hui Ying was ordering him around but he was too overjoyed at the fact that she was worried about him to care about her audacity of ordering him. As long as he could get the care of the queen, it did not matter to him if he has to act as a damsel in distress.

The witch who was watching everything happen in front of her narrowed her eyes when she saw Liu Hui Ying and Zhai Tianyu standing together, her eyes fell on the red string that seemed to be tying them together and was slightly fascinated with it.

If she was not wrong, the girl seemed to have an extreme distaste for men but yet she has a soul mate?

Unlike the other witches who did not have proper guidance Mao had received proper training from her master which was why she knew things that others did not and with her staying in this very land for so many centuries, Witch Mao has learned a lot of things. And now she could see things that even Liu Hui Ying who was born with a natural talent could not see since she lacked the experience.

‘ Looks like it’s time for me to step out of this graveyard,’ thought Witch Mao as she turned her head and looked at the tomb of the woman against whom she was holding a grudge for many centuries. ‘ I have enough of this old hag anyway.’

Liu Hui Ying did not have the time to worry about Witch Mao, right now she was staring at the ghost warrior as he summoned more of his friends. She stared at the corpses of the warriors who were stepping out of the land of the graveyard and clicked her tongue in annoyance.

” Would you look at that,” Li Gang snickered as he threw the stick that he was holding in his hand up in the air and then watched it twist a few more times before morphing into a pair of guns. ” Someone called his friends because he got a boo-boo. Aww.”

” You should pay attention to your surroundings,” said Jia Li as she examined the stats of the being that have arrived and said, ” They are level three which means that they are not a threat to us but just in case —— I think we should stick close to plan B.”

Grandma Lan Fen summoned her electric baton which she twisted and watched it morph into a whip before she winced and said, ” I do not like plan B.”

” Oh but I love it,” Li Gang licked his lips as he distributed the guns in his hands and then snickered happily. ” This is going to be fun, oh so fun!”

Zhai Tianyu who was listening to the three ghosts turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who has changed her rapier into her chain scythe and asked, ” What is plan B?”

No sooner did he say this, he heard a rapid bang bang bang as he watched the limbs of the ghosts being blown away.

Liu Hui Ying herself threw the chain scythe at the ghost who was leading and watched it twirl around the neck of the thing as she ruthlessly pulled the ghost warrior in the air and with a bang brought it down such that he became a rotten meat patty before turning to look at Zhai Tianyu and replying, ” Absolute massacre.”

The glint in her eyes showed that she was not at all joking.
