Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 42

42 Help me please

” I want to move on as well but I cannot,” said the ghost woman, she lowered her head and bit her lower lip. Who didn’t want to move on to the cycle of reincarnation after dying? She has been trying to move on for ages but she couldn’t, the thing that has been holding her back wasn’t resolved and even if she wanted to let go and move on, her heart was unwilling and without letting go of her regrets the guards of the underworld weren’t willing to let her move on, now she was stuck in this place.

If not for sticking to her mother all these years, her soul would have been disintegrated by the grim reaper, however, her mother was no longer young, she was getting on age and if she continues to suck her Yang energy then her mother would die very soon. The ghost woman was slowly getting anxious with each passing day, she was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, she hoped that she will be found by a powerful master and he or she will help her in moving on to another world but even after so many years she could not find any powerful master until today.

It was just her luck that her mother offended the one master who could help her, the ghost woman also knew that there was no chance for Liu Hui Ying to help her, if she wanted to help her she would have done so at the heavenly blessing pavilion but she didn’t, clearly, she had no plans to help her reincarnate.

But other than following Liu Hui Ying, she had no other choice...she has waited for six years for a powerful master who can handle her Yin energy to appear, only she knew how shocked she was when she saw Liu Hui Ying grab hold of her like she was some naughty child clutching onto a toy and wrenching her hands away from her mother’s shoulders, even she wasn’t able to let go of her mother all these years but Liu Hui Ying did it in a matter of seconds, this much was enough to let her know just how strong this niece in law of her was.

And if she was to let go of this opportunity then she might never be able to reincarnate. Who knows maybe if this continues after a few years, she and her mother would haunt the Heavenly blessing pavilion together.

The ghost woman shook her head, she couldn’t let her mother suffer because of her, she has to make Liu Hui Ying agree to help her or else she would never be able to forgive herself.

“Please..” said the ghost woman as she beseeched to Liu Hui Ying, she didn’t care about anything at the moment, if Liu Hui Ying was to ask for her to get on her knees, she will do that without so much as questioning her. She just wanted to move on from this world, it was too cruel and cold for her soul ...now all she wanted was to move on to her new life as soon as she can. ” I beg of you if you want I will be your slave just help me this once to move on to the underworld.”

” You say like it’s an easy job, do you think I am chummy friends with the guards of the underworld?” said Liu Hui Ying as she threw her arm back and twisted her head slightly to look at the ghost woman before continuing with an annoyed expression. ” You cannot move on until you resolve what’s holding you back...” she pointed to Li Gang and Grandma Lan Fen. “You see them right? These two have been hovering over this plane for like twenty or so years but cannot move on because they haven’t given up on the ties that are holding them back, even after working for me for more than eight years, they are still here, what makes you think that you can cut the line? I am a very fair woman, no cutting of lines allowed.”

“Pfft,” hearing her call herself a fair woman, Li Gang burst into laughing causing both the ghost woman and Liu Hui Ying to turn around and look at him. The ghost woman was not terrifying enough for Li Gang to be scared but Liu Hui Ying on the other hand ...that woman made shivers do the conga on his spine. He immediately lowered his head and apologised, ” I am sorry, it was a momentarily lapse of my will to stay alive as a ghost, please ignore my stupidity.”

.....

Liu Hui Ying scolded Li Gang silently before she turned around and looked at the ghost woman before coldly hitching a brow up. ” I can’t help you, you can leave now all right?”

The ghost woman didn’t want to leave, she really wanted to move on from this world. She stared at Liu Hui Ying who was heartless enough to turn her head around even when she was begging her, in the end, the ghost woman had no choice but to walk in front of Liu Hui Ying and go on her knees as she loudly kowtowed. ” I was born as a prideful princess, other than my father and my mother, I have never lowered my head in front of anyone. I, princess Zhai Chenguang, the daughter of the Grand Dowager Empress, the wife of General Zhang Dingbang humbly beg you to help me, please .”

Zhai Chenguang thought that this would make Liu Hui Ying’s heart move but when she raised her head and looked at the woman sitting in front of her, she was surprised to see that Liu Hui Ying was totally unmoved. She looked at her with a blank expression, her head resting against her clenched fist, while she looked down at her with boredom. ” Are you done?”

” I ... why don’t you want to help me?” Zhai Chenguang asked, she lowered her head and begged but she still didn’t want to help her. Why?
