Detective Ghost Empress chapter-387-string-of-hope

Xiao Lin did not know what to say, all she could do was stare at the man in front of her, she wanted to fight with him and rush back to the Ji family but now that she was under the grasp of Liu Dong Ming, she knew that she could no longer escape but just as she was thinking that Liu Dong Ming was going to kill her, the latter backed down.

Surprised, she raised her head, though the man was still looking at her in disdain, he did not reach out his hand to grab the sword that was sticking out of on the side of his waist instead he simply stared at her until she felt a prickly sensation all over her body.

' What is going on? Why didn't Lord Liu kill me just now?' Xiao Lin thought in her head, with Liu Dong Ming's skills he could have killed her just now but instead he kept his hands to himself and did not even hit her that heavily such that she will cough out blood.

She knew that if Liu Dong Ming wanted he could have used his spiritual qi to kill her just now but the man was simply staring at her without any murderous intent in his eyes which confused her.

" Leave," just as Xiao Lin was thinking about what was going to happen to her, or whether the man will make her suffer in the worst possible way she heard him say that she could leave.

Stunned she raised her head and looked at the man with surprise in her eyes, she did not even ask why he was letting her go instead she turned on her heel and dashed away as fast as she could it was as if she was worried that she will be caught by a monster if she was a tad bit late.

Once Xiao Lin left Li Gang and the others wanted to take their leave as well but then they heard the rumbling voice of the man from behind them, " Stop you three."

Li Gang who had his feet raised in the air dumbly raised his finger and counted the three of them and when he realised that their numbers matched with what Liu Dong Ming spoke just now he wished he could stomp his feet on the ground like an angry child.

" I…I am just here to catch some deer, please let us go…." Li Gang spoke in a shrill voice trying to imitate the manner of a eunuch but as he turned to look behind him, he was stunned to see Liu Dong Ming standing behind him staring right into his eyes. The sight was so shocking that Li Gang jumped despite being the ghost here.

" W..What do you want?" He covered his chest and continued to speak in his shrill voice forgetting to change it. " I am…I am telling you my master is really fierce, she …she will eat you alive if you touch me."

" Or me…" Jia Li peeked out of Li Gang's behind while looking at Liu Dong Ming. " She is a very ferocious celestial master.. even the demons are afraid of her…you are still human."

Grandma Lan Fen who whipped her head between Liu Dong Ming and Li Gang cleared her throat and said, " I am older than you… so be nice to me."

However, Liu Dong Ming did not speak instead he stepped closer to the three of them causing Li Gang and the rest to take a defensive stance with their hands in front of them like they were going to karate chop someone. novelbuddy.cσ๓

But before they could do anything, Liu Dong Ming walked past them without even saying anything, it was as if he could not see them but the remnants of his aura which was a mixture of Yin and Yang could still be seen circulating him.

" So did he see us or did he not see us?" Jia Li asked as the three leaned forward while craning their necks to look at Liu Dong Ming who was walking away.

" I have seriously no idea, that man looks crazy to me …why else will he let that Xiao woman go?

No matter what she tried to kill Liu Hui Ying!" Li Gang muttered as he turned to look at Jia Li and Grandma Lan Fen before saying, "Let us go and grab her..even if Liu Dong Ming let her go since he might have a bit of humanity left in him, Liu Hui Ying will not let us go if we don't catch that maid when it comes to no humanity, that woman is far worse than the devil."

Though Jia Li wanted to say that it was not as bad when she thought about it carefully, she decided that it was better to listen to Li Gang and then chase after Xiao Lin.

Even Grandma Lan Fen agreed since she knew how dangerous Liu Hui Ying's temper can be when she was angry.

As soon as the three ghosts rose from the ground and started chasing after Xiao Lin, Liu Dong Ming who was walking paused and turned to look at them, his aide that was hiding in the dark also strode out and said, " Why hide like this, my lord? Should you not be telling the priestess what she needs to do?"

"It is still early," Liu Dong Ming said while looking after the three ghosts and only turned his head to look at his aide after the three ghosts were gone. He smiled and then he added, " She still needs some growth and until I am with her, she will survive somehow."

His aide did not say anything for a long time instead he pursed his lips and hesitated seeing this Liu Dong Ming said, " Go on ask what you want to ask?"

" My lord…" Seeing that his master was not angry, the aide asked, " Why did you let that maid leave…"

At the question of his aide, he smiled even more widely and added, " Because death is fascinating when the string of hope snaps."
