Detective Ghost Empress

Xiao Lin saw how Ji Yu acted shy with Zhai Tianyu and was worried that her missy was once again getting fooled by her father and grandaunt who were using her to get the throne of the Empress.

" You saw her just a few hours ago when we went to change the coal in her brazier, I don\'t think that she would have changed in just a few hours," said Li Gang as he looked at Xiao Lin who was being dragged on the ground by Jia Li.

" But still… all I want to get close to my lady, you don\'t know I could not even eat without her when I was alive and now that I have to stay away from her all the time, I will its like a separate punishment handed to me, let me go please, I will go and take a quick look and then I will really come to you guys," Xiao Lin pleaded with Jia Li who scoffed and then heartlessly said,

" No matter how much you cry, there is nothing that I can do for you…don\'t forget that you do not have a contract with Liu Hui Ying, without a contract you will never be able to get away from her for more than thirteen metres, so even if I let go of you…you will not be able to leave her side, even we can only go as far as she allows us."

Xiao Lin did not believe a thing that Jia Li said which was why the latter rolled her eyes and then let go of her as she said, " Go… you will know soon why we dragged you with us."

With that Jia Li let go of Xiao Lin and walked towards Liu Hui Ying who was heading towards the small grave that she found on the first day of the hunting grounds.

\' Are you sure this is okay?" Li Gang asked as he looked at Jia Li and then at Xiao Lin who was looking at Jia Li as if the latter had awarded her liberation.

Jia Li shrugged her shoulders as she said in a casual voice, " I am not the one who asked her to leave, she was the one who wanted to go which is why I can only fulfil her wish, if I do not then I will become a rotten senior who just does her own thing and do not listen to her juniors something that I do not wish to happen."

Li Gang looked at Jia Li who was heartlessly ignoring Xiao Lin and then turned to look at the young ghost who was still smiling happily as if she had gotten freedom which she craved very much.

Xiao Lin saw that Jia Li really let go of her and was really happy, she turned to leave as she ran towards the hunting grounds with a smile on her face but just as she crossed the thirteen metres distance between her and Liu Hui Ying who was on the other side of the hunting ground, suddenly the sky turned gloomy and clouds filled the entire space ——

The thunder which could not be seen earlier immediately filled the space as Xiao Lin who did not have any idea what was happening continued to run toward Ji Yu but as the mark which was not supposed to be crossed by her passed,  the clouds shuddered loudly before thunder flashed in the sky and Xiao Lin felt something burning and hot hit her as she screamed in pain before lying down on the ground.

" Tsk tsk, you should have listened to the words of that woman, should you have not?" Witch Mao who knew when to stop looked at Xiao Lin who was lying on the floor and then said in a huffing voice which was filled with mockery.

Xiao Lin, who was charred by the thunder from top to bottom looked at the old ghost who was standing behind her and then said, "You knew that this was going to happen ?"

" Of course I did," Witch Mao pointed at the twelve-metre distance where she was standing and then said, " I knew that I will be punished by the heavens if I was to leave her side since she was the one who took me under my wing and then became my guardian, the same is for you...Even though she and you are not bound by contract, she is still  taking care of you isn\'t she?"

Xiao Lin had nothing to say she just wished to cry…why did she just have to act so foolish, it hurts ——GAHHHH! She did not even get a chance to finish her thoughts as another lighting bolt struck her and caused her to feel like she was dying all over again.

" I will suggest coming inside the twelve metres mark, in case you do not wish to combust," suggested Witch Mao kindly as she looked at Xiao Lin who was lying on the ground but did not make a move to help her.

Xiao Lin glared at her before she raised her hands and then crawled towards Wutch Mao who was standing on the side and only then did the thunder which was aimed at her way stopped.

" That…That…." Xiao Lin panted as she stayed on the ground she wanted to say that it was hurting her a lot but Witch Mao did not take pity on her as she ruthlessly said, " Sure enough, foolish actions deserve foolish results."
