Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 92

92 You came here for her right?

” Now, let’s get this party started ~” Liu Hui Ying picked up the piece of a braised chicken and placed it in her mouth, as soon as the fresh and savoury taste of the chicken spread all over her mouth, she hummed in delight. ” This is what I call life...good food, good company and no disturbances at all.”

” Did you forget the small hiccup where you just wrenched the heart of a maid?” asked Li Gang while munching on his braised pig trotter as he looked at Liu Hui Ying who was now acting like the angel of peace now that she has calmed down.

Liu Hui Ying huffed as she turned her head a little to the left and smiled at Li Gang with narrowed eyes as she said, ” Just like you said it was a minor hiccup. If you think that you would like to work overtime rather than going through a minor hiccup then I will not do something like this in the future.”

She shook her head from side to side before using her chopsticks to pile even more food in her mouth one by one.

Li Gang did not want to work overtime so he closed his mouth and then turned his attention back to eating his meal. Why did he even try talking to her? Contradicting Liu Hui Ying was simply impossible.

” I really want to meet the chef who cooked all of this,” said Liu Hui Ying as she finished eating the food that she piled in her mouth. ” If he is old then I do not mind waiting for him to die and then taking him to our world with us, at least that way we will have decent meals every day.”

In their group, neither Liu Hui Ying nor Jia Li knew how to cook and Grandma Lan Fen even though she was a ghost but when she died her memory started to deteriorate, so many times when she was left in charge of cooking, she ended up adding salt twice when she was cooking and that day Liu Hui Ying had to call for take out.

And as for Li Gang, it was even more impossible when he was given the responsibility to cook a meal, Liu Hui Ying had to order a whole new kitchen.

” Maybe I will go and see whether he is old or not,” Jia Li too was hooked on the cooking of the chef, she really did not want to go back to the days when they have to rely on instant noodles to survive.

.....

” That’s good–” Liu Hui Ying began speaking when the door to her room slid open suddenly. Startled that someone has come inside her room when she has clearly ordered them not to, three pairs of bowls and chopsticks fell on the table with a thud while Jia Li, Li Gang together with Grandma Lan Fen went into hiding.

Even Liu Hui Ying started to think about what she was going to say to the person who opened the door regarding the bowls and chopsticks flying in the air but then the sudden visitor stepped inside the room and Liu Hui Ying’s mood soured as she slammed her chopsticks on the table and hissed angrily, ” Jeez and there goes my good mood. You three come out, it’s his esteemed majesty who came to visit our humble abode.”

With that she snorted heavily and then returned her attention to finishing her meal, this jerk can he not announce his arrival like a normal emperor? He scared the life out of her.

” Oh, it’s the Emperor,” Jia Li heaved a sigh of relief as she came out of her hiding spot and then sat back in her place where she was sitting. Her heart ached when she noticed the amount of spiritual rice that has been spilled on the table. ” Ah, now I have to waste my energy to pick it all up.”

” Why?” Li Gang asked as he placed his hands on both sides of the mess and leaned his head down such that he was licking the rice like a dog. ” Just lap it all up.”

” You are disgusting.”

” And you are lazy.”

” So what did you bring your heavenly presence to disturb me, your majesty?” asked Liu Hui Ying over the loud voices of Li Gang and Jia Li.

” Shouldn’t you be saying why I disturbed my heavenly body by coming here?” corrected Zhai Tianyu but he forgot who was in front of him.

Liu Hui Ying heard his words and scoffed before she shook her head and then smiled at him. ” Did you hear me fcking stutter, your majesty?”

Zhai Tinayu blinked his eyes as he looked at Liu Hui Ying and said in a pouty sort of way. ” My queen you are always very rude to me.”

I didn’t see you acting sweet to me either, your majesty.” Liu Hui Ying shot back with ease.

” Do you want me to act sweet with you, my queen?” asked Zhai Tianyu with a smile as he placed his hand on his mouth with a shy gesture. ” If that is what you want then I ...”

” If you so much as imagine doing any hanky panky with me, I will kill you,” he didn’t even get to finish saying what he wanted to when he heard Liu Hui Ying threaten him and that too with a rather twisted expression.

She was serious, if he tried to tease her any further than this, she will definitely kill him.

” Ahem, I am sorry please forgive me, my queen, it seems I overstepped on your boundaries,” he said as he coughed and then returned to his former elegant and noble self.

” Oh yeah you did and don’t do that again,” she rolled her sleeves and showed him the small hair that was standing all over her arms and said, ” You gave me goosebumps... I was scared that you were here to sacrifice your body for me.”

Heat rose to Zhai Tianyu’s face when he saw Liu Hui Ying show him, her arms. He turned his gaze away from her and then said, ” What do you mean by that, my queen?”

” Ji Yu..you came here because of her right?”
