Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 345 - Your mother —-2

345 Your mother —-” But that does not explain why I am here,” Liu Hui Ying said, she was sorry not so sorry for that man who was dumped and escaped to fulfil a stupid love story in her opinion. The thing that concerned her was, in the end, herself, she has been like that and she might stay as one till the end, no matter what others thought about her.

The ghost of the witch smiled at her heartless expression and then questioned with a soft voice, ” Why do you think that the man went to the future? Isn’t it because he wanted to put an end to the one who had both future and past entwined in her destiny?”

Liu Hui Ying did not know what the old witch meant by this, she frowned before twisting her lips to the side and then said, “I am not catching what you are trying to say.”

” Maybe if you think about your mother then you will be able to understand what I am saying,” the ghost of the witch smiled as she flicked her hand and the inscription on the ground vanished. ” Have you never questioned about your mother being too out of the ordinary? That she was different from the rest as if she was in a plane where she did not belong but had to live because she found what she was looking for?”

Liu Hui Ying did not have many memories of her mother, she only knew that the woman was gentle, much more elegant than the rest. Even though she was living in a small apartment, she carried herself with such grace that she made women of the high class look like fools in front of her and this was something that Liu Hui Ying has always admired.

She thought that her mother was just better than the rest which was why she never questioned anything but now that the ghost of the witch was saying something completely different than what she had thought, Liu Hui Ying felt that she was hit in the back of her head.

” That’s impossible——” she went to say with a chuckle but the ghost of the witch tilted her head and smiled, ” You are here, do you still think that it is impossible? Silly girl, there is no such thing as impossible in this world. Balance that has been broken will repair itself, your mother broke the balance by escaping dimensions and finding the man whom she loved and was killed in the hands of the demonic spirit.”

” In return, you were brought here to fulfil the role that she left behind, it’s just a pity that your sister was entangled in a mess that was never hers, to begin with.”

The flames that were moving and frizzling as the fire reflected in the eyes of Liu Hui Ying, the latter looked at the ghost of the old woman with a shocked look on her face behind her Li Gang who was lying on the floor immediately sat up straight and said, ” Oh dear lord, I thought it was just a small matter but looks like we are in deep shit, Hui Ying.”

.....

Oh, they were in deep shit. Liu Hui Ying thought in her head as she turned to look at the ghost of the witch and asked, ” What do you mean my sister got caught in this mess? Are you saying that she was not supposed to die? Was it my turn to die?”

” The demonic spirit left for your world because the planetary movements told us that another priestess has taken birth and the new priestess will take the Liu family to greater heights which was why it created a rift in time and space to end the priestess before she could arrive here,” the ghost of the witch then lifted her head and looked at the sky above them. ” Must have made a mistake while looking for the right one, or he might have not seen your powers that were yet to be awakened.”

” Then why not come and kill me now?” Liu Hui Ying asked angrily she felt terrible thinking about how her sister was killed when the target was her, if she had known then she would have looked for that man and killed him by now.

Not like she was not going to do it.

The ghost of the witch clicked her tongue and then wriggled her finger in front of Liu Hui Ying as she said, ” There is no way he would be able to do that, your sister used up the last of her powers to seal half of his powers unless he breaks the seal he will never come right in front of you, at least not him but his followers——”

As she spoke, Liu Hui Ying felt a chill crawl up her spine—— there was the sound of a blade whipping through the air as she ducked down just in time a figure from the shadows jumped in between her and the ghost warrior who was dressed in a rusted old armour.

” Are you okay my queen?” A voice that she did not expect to hear called her from behind as Liu Hui Ying turned to look at the man who has foolishly jumped in between a ghost and her.

” What are you doing here?” She could not help but ask as she looked at Zhai Tianyu who was dressed in a simple robe and had his hair tied in a ponytail as he gritted his teeth while the ghost warrior placed more and more pressure on the sword that was being blocked by Zhai Tianyu’s sword.

She saw the man turn his head as he smiled and then said with a cheeky look in his eyes, ” Would you believe me if I say that I was worried to death for you, my queen?”

The air whipped past them as it slowly caressed them on their cheeks while the two people stared at each other in the eyes even though a ghost warrior was attacking them.

The ghost warrior: “...” Yes, right here, officer. These two are the ones who stripped me of my dignity.
