Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 401: Shooting arrows ——-2

Jia Li's eyes lit up, though she was not shallow, she did like firm muscles.

They were easier to slice through than the loose tissues of muscles which was not as enjoyable as cutting a firm skin cadaver was which was why she turned to look at Zhai Tianyu with an excited look on her face that scared Zhai Tianyu so much that he turned around and ran at this moment he couldn't care less about the rule that —— a king never runs and kept his pace calm and steady.

He did not know about anyone else but he was sure that those kings who came before him were not chased by a perverted ghost which was why they could say such nonsensical things.

He turned on his feet making sure that Jia Li could not catch up to him, while the female ghost who was flying behind him was just as stubborn, she looked at his bottom which was covered with the long coat and then said, " Just a small cut, your majesty…I will sew your buttocks right back."

Like hell, he was going to let a ghost cut his buttocks! He was not even dead to be played along like this!

" Your majesty, where are you?" Just as Zhai Tianyu was thinking about what to do, he heard the voices of his brother and best friend, his eyes immediately lit up and he turned to run in the direction from where the voice of Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun was coming, fortunately, he did not have to run for long because he soon finds the two men and then without giving an explanation or chance to Zhai Heng, he hid behind his brother sticking his back to Zhai Heng's back.

" You…your majesty?" Zhai Heng was surprised when he saw his brother acting so childishly, it was similar to how Zhai Tianyu acted when he was younger and was trying to run from punishment from the teacher that Liu Dong Ming arranged for him.

The teacher liked to hit Zhai Tianyu on the bottom with a thin bamboo stick and Zhai Tianyu who did not like it at all would run to his courtyard and hide his bottom just like this such as to make sure that there was no target to be caught by the teacher.

Even Yu Lingyun was surprised he turned to look at Zhai Tianyu with a tilt of his back and then asked in a stunned voice, " What are you doing?"

" I…." There was no way Zhai Tianyu could say that he was being harassed by a perverted ghost, he knew that his brother and Yu Lingyun will save him for sure but they will make a lot of fun on his part as well which was why instead of saying anything, he looped his arms around the arms of his brother and then without giving him a chance to escape from what was he doing, he lifted his brother like a backpack and ran from the forest.

Zhai Heng had no idea what happened, a second ago he was standing on his two feet and then the next second, he was being carried by his brother like a sack on his back.

Because he was surprised, Zhai Heng could not say a word at first but later on he opened his mouth after snapping out of his daze and shrieked, " What are you doing?"

" Just think of this as protecting me, and stay put!" Was all Zhai Tianyu said while running down the slope?

Yu Lingyun who was left in dust continued to hold the fire torch that he brought with him and stared at the direction in which Zhai Tianyu and Zhai Heng ran with a blank look on his face, he did not know what to say but before he could say anything, he felt a chilly touch on his bottom.

Startled he waved the fire torch around and looked at his surroundings but when he saw nothing—- and no one, goosebumps broke all over the surface of his skin and he turned to run after his friends.

" Wair for me you two, I am here as well! You can't leave me like this!" Yu Lingyun screamed after the two men as he ran after them.

Jia Li who could not test the equipment that she was going to cut through soon sighed and then looked at her hand, it was just a small touch but she could indeed feel the firmness in her hand. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

While the three men were having trouble of their own, Ji Yu was standing at the cliff of the forest where she buried Xiao Lin. She looked at the newly dug grave and then blinked the tears away from her eyes, she was sad and aggrieved——- in just one night, she lost the one person who had been by her side all her life.

She hated her father who had sent Xiao Lin to do such a difficult task, he could have asked his shadow guard to do the same but no he sent her Xiao Lin —— and was there even a need to kill the Queen? They could have come up with a plan which only involved the dethronement of the Queen.

Now that Ji Yu had tasted the loss of a loved one, she could no longer think of letting Zhai Tianyu go through the same pain. To never see and hear the person they love —— this kind of pain she could never inflict on the man whom she loved.

" Your Highness you should leave now," said the guard who was following behind her. He had been almost detached from the grief that she was feeling at the moment and that annoyed Ji Yu greatly, she did not turn to look at the man instead she calmly said, " I want to stay here."

" But your Highness——" Before the guard, could finish his words, the sound of an arrow shooting in the dead silence of the night echoed in the surroundings causing Ji Yu to turn in surprise just as the guard fell on the ground.
