Chapter 114

114 Revenge on the grand empress dowager.

” I ... I don’t think I understand what you are saying,” Zhai Chenguang tried to understand what Liu Hui Ying told her but even after pondering for so long she didn’t seem to understand what Liu Hui Ying was telling her, she was dead already how will someone find out that her soul was at unrest? Except for Liu Hui Ying, no one could see her, then who will come asking for help in place of her?

She looked at Liu Hui Ying who was looking back at her and then licked her lips, she didn’t feel the wetness like she used to when she was alive.. sensing the lack of feeling Zhai Chenguang paused and then retracted her tongue back in her mouth before awkwardly saying, ” I am already dead if you don’t help me when I request you then who will?”

” I am not saying that I will not help you,” Liu Hui Ying patiently replied, it was surprising for both Jia Li and Li Gang to see Liu Hui Ying acting so calmly towards a ghost who came to bother her asking for help. Usually, she would treat them like a bully who was asking for lunch money, why was she suddenly treating Zhai Chenguang so nicely all of a sudden?

Li Gang turned to look at Jia Li and then said to her, ” Is she treating her this well because that woman handed her a mine of gold?”

” I don’t know,” Jia Li whispered back while she kept her gaze on Liu Hui Ying and Zhai Chenguang. ” I have seen her treating many clients who offered her million like trash, why she is treating this woman so well, I have no idea at all.”

When they were in their world, Liu Hui Ying has never acted so sweetly to any of her clients not unless they gave her a lot of money or when —

” She is planning something,” said Jia Li finally coming to a realisation.

” She is definitely planning something,” Li Gang conceded agreeing with Jia Li, the two of them knew Liu Hui Ying too well, thus they understood what was going on in her head at once after careful consideration.

“Poor child,” commented Grandma Lan Fen as she floated past the opposite and came to stand between Li Gang and Jia Li. ” She has no idea what is coming for her.”

.....

Zhai Chenguang really did not have any idea what was going on in the head of Liu Hui Ying, she blinked her webbed eyes at Liu Hui Ying and waited for her to speak.

Liu Hui Ying noticed that Zhai Chenguang was waiting for her explanation and she hurriedly suppressed the smug smile that was itching to come up on her face. “It’s really simple, the world of living and dead has always been divided into two parts. The one who lives on this surface cannot interfere with the ones who live in the underworld and those who are in the underworld cannot interfere with the ones who live in the world of the living, that’s how the world works right?” Liu Hui Ying asked with a smile and Zhai Chenguang who was finally understanding what she was saying nodded.

” But..” Liu Hui Ying drawled as she raised her hand and then pointed at Zhai Chenguang and continued, ” Existence like you are exceptions, you neither belong to the underworld nor the world of the living and for every exception, there are exceptions like me, whom we all call celestial masters but we are still living and dead aren’t we? As someone dead you do not have the right to make a living do anything for you and as a living, without offering anything in return I cannot make you do something, so if you want me to help you then you will have to get a living to request me that they want me to help you, only then can I help you out, do you understand that?”

” Then ... Then I have to get someone to help me from this world? But how? I can’t even talk to anyone!” Zhai Chenguang asked, if she could do something like talking to the living then she would have done that already!

” That’s because you don’t know how to do it,” Liu Hui Ying replied as she explained to Zhai Chenguang how she could talk to a living, the more she explained the more Zhai Chenguang’s eyes widened, she listened to everything that Liu Hui Ying and said, ” That will terrify them!”

“It’s all part of the process,” Liu Hui Ying shrugged casually. ” If you do not wish to do this then you don’t have to, you can look for someone else.”

Zhai Chenguang bit her lips, she has been waiting for someone to help her for so long, now where will she go and look for someone else? ” Then, will it be fine if I go and look for my husband?”

” Can you?” Liu Hui Ying asked in return and Zhai Chenguang turned silent because she was more attached to her mother and the place where she grew up, so when she died her soul ended up drifting to the imperial palace and she ended up getting tied to this place, she could of course go and haunt her husband but the thing was that her husband was a scholar who hardly stayed in the same place for long, she didn’t even know when he will return to the Empire and even if he was to return will she have enough time to wait for him? With all the lectures he took and gave, it would be impossible for her to keep waiting for him.

” Then will it be fine if I go and haunt Tianyu?” compared to her mother, Zhai Tianyu was young, he will be able to withstand the shock right?

” If you ask him then you might as well wait on the waiting list,” Liu Hui Ying rolled her eyes while smiling at Zhai Chenguang. ” You already know that I hate men, if you bring that man here then you might as well not come here.” And if Zhai Chenguang was to go and call that jerk then how will she take her revenge?
