Chapter 53

53 Saw her secret.

” Jia Li!” Liu Hui Ying turned her head to glare at Jia Li anxiously, of all people she could run into she ran into the Emperor? Why not take advantage of the ghost hour and just run around the palace screaming that she was a ghost exorcist?

” I am sorry!” sobbed Jia Li, she too knew that she might have made things difficult for Liu Hui Ying but she really did not expect the Emperor to come to this courtyard, did he not send an assassin at Liu Hui Ying in the morning? Can he really stomach sleeping with the same woman he hated so much but looks like the man had a lot more sturdy heart than she expected him to...the only downside was that he seemed to be terrified of ghosts.

” I did not mean it, he just came rushing inside as bold as brass, what was I supposed to do? And it’s the starting of ghost hours!” The hours after midnight was when the Yin energy started to get stronger and at three in the morning, it would reach its peak. Ghosts who roamed on the surface of the earth would sometimes become visible during these hours and ghost servants who shared spiritual energy with their master would become even more visible compared to other ghosts.

It was just that the yang energy of many humans was not up to the mark and they could not catch hold of sight of ghosts like them, but the Emperor was a different case. He was the Emperor of this country and he was born with a special and magnificent Yang energy which could not be compared to other common people, thus when he came inside Liu Hui Ying’s courtyard and laid his eyes on Jia Li who shared a spiritual connection with Liu Hui Ying, he was able to see her.

Last night they didn’t have the chance to suck the spiritual energy from Liu Hui Ying given that they did not get a chance to eat but today was not the same case, they ate well and now they were stronger than other ghosts who didn’t have the luck of sharing spiritual energy with a ghost hunter.

” Jia Li is right, what is he doing here? Shouldn’t he be in his own palace?” Li Gang asked while picking at the stubble on his chin. He crouched down and tilted his face such that he was looking at the Emperor’s cold face as he pursed his lips and said, ” Damn his Yang energy is indeed really abundant, I have never seen such a powerful and majestic aura, no wonder he is the Emperor. He was born with the fortune of being a ruler, it’s clear from the lines on his glabella that he is destined to rule at least seven lands, this is what I call being born with a diamond spoon in his mouth that’s coated with gold and platinum.”

He leaned forward as he sniffed and mused, ” He has so much life force, it would not matter if I suck a few days right?”

Li Gang was oblivious to it but the fingers inside the sleeves were tightly clenched, Zhai Tianyu woke up just a few seconds ago before Liu Hui Ying came looking for him. He wanted to get up and leave but then he heard four voices, one that of a man... who was talking with Liu Hui Ying. He wanted to catch Liu Hui Ying having an affair such that he will be able to take care of her once and for all but then as soon as they got near him, he felt the temperature of his body drop to the point where he was shivering.

Zhai Tianyu has seen many things and he was wise enough to sense that if he was to open his eyes at this moment, he will definitely find himself in trouble, he needed to find out what was happening before he could think of a best possible solution to his predicament but then he heard things that he was sure that no one might have heard before.

.....

Ghost hours?

Yang energy?

What were they talking about? But the more he listened the more he understood, the things that were talking with Liu Hui Ying were not humans but instead, they were ghosts!

No sooner he came to this conclusion, Zhai Tianyu scared himself but he was even more terrified when he heard the ghostly man say that he was going to suck a few days off his life. No matter how long his life was, would he not rue them if they were sucked off like that? Zhai Tianyu was going to open his eyes but then he heard Liu Hui Ying’s voice.

” Stop,” said Liu Hui Ying as she pulled Li Gang back, she peered down at Zhai Tianyu and turned her attention to Li Gang before adding, ” Never forget that you are here because you swore never to harm any human, if you dare to use the dark mystic arts to raise your cultivation, then I will end you with my own hands, don’t even think about it.”

Only then did Zhai Tianyu unclench his hands but then he heard an elderly woman ask in worry, ” But what are we going to do with him? We can not leave him here and you cannot take him to your room either, you are severely allergic to men... if you bring him then...”

Liu Hui Ying didn’t say anything and that made Zhai Tianyu almost girt his teeth anxiously, was this woman going to do some voodoo magic on him? To make him forget or maybe she will just vanish him altogether? After all, he did see her secret.

Now what?

He waited anxiously for Liu Hui Ying to decide his fate and then he heard her say, ” Just throw him to the back of the courtyard, even if it’s a bit chilly, its not that cold... so, he will not die. Just leave him there and once it’s the morning we will just tell everyone that he was too drunk and lost his way.”

Zhai Tianyu: “.....” He was too soft-hearted for a second he thought that she was going to be kind to him!
