Detective Ghost Empress

“It’s you!” Jia Li however still raised her hand and pointed at the ghost of the woman whose hair was flying all over the place with her lips coloured black and a seal was drawn on her forehead. ” You were the one who told me that I was not from this world.” Jia Li turned to look at Liu Hui Ying and then said, ” She is the one who said that, she is the ghost of that witch, Hui Ying.” She was so excited that her voice was turning high-pitched.

If Liu Hui Ying did not know any better she would have thought that Jia Li was meeting her long-lost sister which was why she was so excited but she knew that the girl was only excited because the ghost of the witch looked interesting and she was a sucker for everything interesting and weird. If not for the fact that it would be counted as rude, Jia Li would have already started interrogating the witch and might have asked her to lie down bare such that she will be able to examine her more closely and let her check how a witch was different from a celestial master.

“Yeah, I can see that,” Liu Hui Ying pushed the face of the excited ghost out of her face and looked at the ghost of the witch who was examining Jia Li with a frown on her face as she poked her pinky finger out and scratched the spaces between her teeth and turned to look at Liu Hui Ying before saying, ” You know this crazy ghost? She asked me to lift my skirt when we first met, she wanted to see whether I have only twisted feet or my entire lower half was twisted.”

She then turned to look at Jia Li who had the good grace to look abashed and added, ” If I did not know any better, I would have thought that she was a pervert.”

As she spoke she pointed to her feet that were facing backwards.

” Ugh yes, she must have done that, I am sorry about that,” Liu Hui Ying began as she lowered her head but was interrupted by the ghost of the witch who added with a frown, ” There is no point in apologizing to me because what’s done is done, she already lifted my skirt and peeped inside, which was why I smacked her with my peacock broom.” She then spat on the ground and crossed her arms as she inched her head up and haughtily said, ” Who are you? Her mother? Or guardian? Did she bring her here to exorcise me? I am telling you, I ain’t going anywhere.”

Liu Hui Ying whipped her head at record speed to look at Jia Li who turned her head away just as fast pretending as if she could not see Liu Hui Ying’s gaze that was literally drilling into her head.

” And she calls me a pervert, hah!” Li Gang scoffed as he made a face at Jia Li who turned to glare at him but lowered her head when Liu Hui Ying glared at her.

.....

” You lifted her skirt and peeped at her legs?” She asked not knowing what to do with this girl, should she exorcise her and keep this ghost of the witch as her servant, the latter looks saner than this one. How dare this girl say? that the ghost of the witch looked insane after doing something like this to her? Of course, she will look insane if she was to lift the skirt of a woman!

” I...I was just curious whether her behind was also forward——” Jia Li tried to excuse herself but she was ignored by Liu Hui Ying who glared at her and snapped hard, ” Why do you care if her behind was forward or backwards? Are you going to wipe her a*s? Which was why you were so worried about her behind?”

Jia Li did not answer as she mumbled something that Liu Hui Ying missed but the latter did not care about it instead she turned to the ghost of the witch and bowed apologetically as she understood that the thing that Jia Li did was simply unforgivable.

” I am really apologetic about what she has done please forgive us with your magnanimity,” she said as she apologised before standing up straight and pushing Jia Li’s head down and snarling, ” You apologise too you, you lady pervert!”

Jia Li wanted to say that she was not a lady pervert but then she thought of her actions and could not defend herself in the end even though she felt like she was being wronged, she still apologised, “.I am sorry, I just thought that you will be a perfect specimen for my next research.”

The ghost of the witch frowned as she looked at Jia Li and asked, ” What is a specimen and what do you mean by research?” She was from the old era and did not understand the term specimen.

Her question ignited the researcher in Jia Li as the latter opened her mouth and said, ” A specimen is something that we tear and open up for further study——”

” Jesus, would you shut up?” Liu Hui Ying covered the mouth of Jia Li who was speaking nonsense and then turned to look at the ghost of the witch who was looking unamused and apologised with another awkward look on her face, ” I am really sorry about this.”
