Detective Ghost Empress

But as a celestial master, she understood the consequences of giving in to that anger as well. Zhai Chenguang could not kill Scholar Wei because she did not have the right to do so, as a ghost who was lingering at the surface of the earth because of her regrets, she could not hurt or kill anyone, she wasn’t even allowed to bring her own case to a celestial master, so how can she even think of hurting someone?

Zhai Chenguang was, however, no longer in any condition to listen to what Liu Hui Ying was saying, she was angered to the point where nothing but the scent of blood was overwhelming her. She wanted nothing more than death, pain and blood for her anger to be released but before she could do anything like she planned to do, she was stopped by Liu Hui Ying who used the beads of strings that were tied around her wrist to tie Zhai Chenguang’s soul.

Liu Hui Ying has been refining the beads ever since she took them from the Grand dowager Empress. She has wrecked her sleep by exchanging it with the nightmares that have been repeating in her head every night when she closed her eyes but she has worked hard to make sure that her nightmares were worth it, she has refined these beads until they could be used in the manner they were supposed to be– that was the soul restrainer.

It was a lot of hard work on her part where she has to relive the day when she lost her sister but she has done it. Did a better job than she has expected and now she could use the beads as they were supposed to be used, with her eyes gleaming slightly she looked at Zhai Chenguang’s soul that was trying to get past her restraints.

” Don’t fight you will not be able to get past these restrictions,” she told Zhai Chenguang who was trying her very best to get away from her and the long beads that were wrapped around the soul that was crouching on the floor. ” You don’t need to do anything, I am your bridge to this world. If there is something that you want me to do then you need to tell me because I can kill those who have hurt you without any retaliation from the heavens, I have the power to do that, you know that right?”

Zhai Chenguang raised her head before her gaze flickered to the fiery red eyes of Liu Hui Ying while she was restraining her with beads that glowed bright blue. She looked at Liu Hui Ying as she heaved heavily and then gritted her jaw before she said, ” I want him to suffer, I want him to neither die nor stay alive, can you do that?”

” Just that much?” Liu Hui Ying smirked with a grin playing on her face. ” I am telling you that I am your guardian in this world, since I took your case then I promise that I will give you guaranteed satisfaction.”

Scholar Wei ran out of the shop where he was stopped by the guards but with the help of the smoke bomb that he has made with chilly powder, he was able to run away from the shop without being caught by the guards who were trying to stop him. As soon as he ran out of the shop after pushing a bunch of customers who were in his way, he rushed straight towards the carriage in which he came to the sea shop.

The carriage driver saw his master running towards him and was stunned when he saw the messed up condition of Scholar Wei, he has never seen Scholar Wei look like this, his master has always been calm and controlled, his expression gentle and he has never even walked in a hurried pace much less run like this in panic.

Seeing him run like this the carriage driver was stunned, he looked at his master and hurried down from his seat before he asked in a panicked manner, ” My lord, what happened?” He peered inside the tea house, he was worried that something really bad happened to either his majesty or his friends. ” Did something happen to the Emperor?”

The carriage driver was being polite but the second Scholar Wei heard the name of the Emperor, his eyes popped out of his second and he reacted violently. He caught hold of the driver by his collar and then pushed him aside as he shouted, ” Shut up!”

His scream garnered a lot of attention from the people who were around the tea shop and on the street, they all paused to see what was going on. Scholar Wei has always been insecure about his weakness and now that the weakness was out in the open, he got even more insecure. It was as if everyone knew that he was not a whole man and that they were looking at him with a contemptuous looks in their eyes.

” What are you looking at?” He shouted as he glared at the people who were looking his way and then hurried over to the carriage where everyone was standing and then pushed the people who were surrounding his carriage violently. He was acting like such a crazed man that no one stopped him instead they let him leave like he was a mad dog who has been left unattended by his master.

Scholar Wei rushed to the carriage and then climbed up the seat before he raised the whip and started hitting the horse that was tied in front of the carriage in a rush as if he was trying to leave the marks of the whip on the skin of the horse.
