Chapter 15: You are just trying to slack off

" I don't think this is going to work," said Li Gang as he went plop on the bed. " If that woman wanted to come back to her body, she would have already done that..but she is not here, so who knows?"

Jia Li and Grandma Lan Fen turned to look at him before shrinking their neck when they saw Liu Hui Ying turning her head and staring at the three of them, something about her gaze made them feel terrified even when they knew that they couldn't die again. " If she doesn't come back then I am not the only one who is going to suffer in fact I will suffer a lot less compared to the three of you."

" What does that mean?" Li Gang immediately opened his eyes and sat up straight before looking at Liu Hui Ying who was smiling at him with a sly glint in her eyes. " What else can I mean? If we don't go back then neither of you can move to the afterlife," she turned to look at Grandma Lan Fen and smiled sharply. " Grandma Lan Fen, you want to see your granddaughter go to college and get married right? But if you are stuck in this world how are you going to that? With us being stuck here for who knows how long maybe by the time we go back to our world, your granddaughter will be an old grandma herself?"

Grandma Lan Fen felt as if something seemed to have stuck in her chest, even though her heart was no longer beating, she swore that it jumped several heartbeats.

Then Liu Hui Ying turned to look at Jia Li with a sympathetic expression and continued, " You too Jia Li, you worked so hard for six months and helped me solve so many cases..all because you wanted me to buy you the premium membership of your favourite Chill and Flix site, if you stay stuck in here then how will you watch all your favourite romantic, thriller and horror dramas? Wouldn't your membership expire if we don't go back? Then what will you do? Didn't you want to spend the rest of your time doing nothing but eating fried chicken and binge-watching shows?"

Jia Li's immediately placed her hands on her ears not wanting to listen to anything that Liu Hui Ying was saying.

However, Liu Hui Ying wasn't done, she turned around and looked at Li Gang who stared back at her with a slightly defensive expression. " And you Li Gang, if we don't go back what will happen to your dream? Didn't you want to find a hot, voluptuous, sizzling succubus to get married to? But if we don't go back then where will you find that hot diva-like succubus for yourself? Don't forget we are in ancient times, the only ghosts you are going to find now will be those soft, conservative types who will blush twice before even holding your hands. Without the modern set-up, you will have no choice but to make do with one of those ghosts, have a ghost marriage with them and move on to the afterlife, because if I can't go back then you three will stay here with me as well."

Silence ensued in the entire room before Li Gang jumped to his feet. " That damn woman, I swear I am going to drag her even if that's the last thing I have to do."

" That's right," greatly affected by what Liu Hui Ying said, Jia Li too jumped up. "Everything in this world can expire but not my subscription to Chill and Flix, I don't think I will be able to withstand the grief."

The two of them turned to look at Grandma Lan Fen who sighed and got to her feet as well. " I am not one to support something this boorish but for the sake of my granddaughter … I will drag this woman's soul even from the gates of hell!"

Seeing that she has successfully riled up her three employees, Liu Hui Ying got to her feet and arched her back before patting the three of them on the shoulder. Since she was their master and the three of them were more or less of poltergeist, it was easier for her to touch them though she did feel an icy feeling sweep right against her skin when she touched the three. "It's good that you three understand where I am coming from now, so listen to me carefully.." she swept her gaze at the three ghosts and lowered her voice. " The woman had a very deep grudge along with heavy regrets, she couldn't have moved onto the afterlife with that many regrets, you see? That's why …you three just need to look around for her, since she died in this palace, then her soul is bound to be stuck here, just work hard! All right"

After saying so, she shrugged her shoulders and yawned. "Any way you three go and look for that woman, I will take a small nap… this entire night has been such a hassle that I feel really sleepy."

" Ok—— wait a minute," Li Gang already had his feet lifted in his air when he paused and turned around to look at Liu Hui Ying. " What about you though? Are you going to just close your eyes and sleep?"

" What else?" Liu Hui Ying sat down on the bed, took off her shoes and then squeezed her toes before raising her head to look at Li Gang with one brow arched. " I can't walk through walls or make myself invisible from others, after such a thing happened surely that dog Emperor would have his gaze locked on me like some evil spirit. If I leave wouldn't I be delivering my head to his door on a silver platter, if I die then what will happen to the three of you? Don't forget that it's because of me that the grim reaper hasn't dragged you to the underworld."

Jia Li however wasn't going to let go of Liu Hui Ying so easily, she pursed her lips and sullenly looked at Liu Hui Ying. " You are just trying to make excuses, if you want even the king of the underworld can catch you. Because you don't want to work hard, you are coming up with one excuse after another."

" Who says I am not working hard?" With a pout, Liu Hui Ying pushed herself off the uncomfortable bed and looked at the three ghosts. " Whose spiritual energy you three are sucking up to do things? Mine. All right, I am sharing my great spiritual energy with you three even when I haven't eaten anything after coming here, do you know how tiring this is? How dare you say that I am trying to slack off ?"
