Chapter 267 - 267 Just as selfish



Zhai Tianyu looked at the woman who was sprouting nonsense in front of the King and was temporarily speechless, was the Queen really not worried that he will punish her? How can she act so recklessly? He raised his hand and then nursed his forehead, even though he was slightly annoyed by the Queen, he was thankful that she was up and about.

” I am only outspoken in front of people who I trust,” he answered with a calm expression on his face, he raised his head and looked at Liu Hui Ying who looked a bit awkward at his sudden confession and smiled. ” You are one of the very few people whom I trust my queen which is why I can speak my mind without worrying about anyone using my words against me.”

Liu Hui Ying did not know what to do with these sudden heartfelt words, she turned her head to the side and pretended as if she hadn’t heard him and then continued on speaking, ” This is not a small matter either, the spirit that attacked me is not just a poor old unfortunate soul that was left behind and turned malevolent slowly, its a corpse puppet.”

” A corpse what?” Zhai Tianyu has heard of wooden puppets, doll puppets and many other puppets but he has never heard of corpse puppets he looked at the woman who was sitting on the bed with a confused look in his eyes and felt as if he was mishearing things.

Liu Hui Ying looked at him like she was looking at an idiot and then said in an annoyed voice, “It’s a corpse puppet, like training a corpse with a part of its soul intact in the shell that it has left behind while keeping the other half of the soul within your hands, as long as the master of the corpse puppet holds the part of the soul, the corpse puppet made by him will have no other choice but to follow his orders.”

A frown etched on her delicate forehead and Liu Hui Ying felt her head throb as she started to nurse her forehead but then she felt the white bandage hinder her movements and she immediately stopped nursing her forehead before she turned to look at Zhai Tianyu and said, ” This is not a good sign, if there is a corpse puppet then it means that there is a dark warlock in the city as well one who is skilled with necromancy.”

” If we leave him alone who knows how much more damage he might bring to your imperial city,” she sighed heavily and then looked into Zhai Tianyu’s eyes before shaking her head. ” One of your ministers is truly either a complete idiot or he is completely inhuman to come into contact with someone like this because only those who have forsaken the path of righteousness and want to walk on the path set by the demonic sects will be able to learn such a skill.”

Zhai Tianyu looked at Liu Hui Ying who was sighing and fell into deep thought, someone from the ministers of the court couldn’t do anything so stupid, they were too smart to know the consequences of their actions so it can only mean one thing. They knew that they were in the wrong, they just did not care about anyone including the life and death of innocent citizens.

.....

” Is there a way to stop them?” Zhai Tianyu asked as he looked at Liu Hui Ying who was still rubbing her forehead because of the pain that was throbbing in the back of her head. ” Can you take care of them? I don’t want the innocent citizens of my city to be killed for no reason at all.”

Liu Hui Ying paused in her actions of rubbing her forehead and raising her head as she looked at the man in front of her with a sneering smile, ” Who wants to watch the people they care about die when there is no other choice is it?”

” Are you saying that you cannot stop them?” Zhai Tianyu’s eyes widened as he looked at Liu Hui Ying. ” I thought that you will be able to save them, did you not say that you are a celestial master, can you not stop this from happening?”

” I am not your saviour, your majesty,” Liu Hui Ying replied as she turned to look at the man who was asking for the moon in return for handing her candy. She raised her head and then tipped her chin at the window that overlooked the backyard of her courtyard and continued, “It’s impossible, the warlock out there or whoever it is… I don’t think that I will be able to take them down.”

She was not here to save the world, all she needed was to solve this case, find the soul of this woman and get out of there before she gets caught up in another trouble!

Zhai Tianyu looked at Liu Hui Ying who was sitting on the side with a calm look on her face, he knew from the calmness on her face that she could take the culprit behind this down but she just did not want to, his heartbeat slowed down a bit as he looked at Liu Hui Ying and asked, ” Are you sure that you cannot take them down?”

” Of course,” Liu Hui Ying replied as she frowned and looked at him with an annoyed look on her face. ” Why do you keep asking me this?”

” That’s because you know how to take him down, it is such that you cannot care less to take them down, isn’t that the truth?” Zhai Tianyu remarked feeling angry and upset, the joy of meeting Liu Hui Ying turned into ashes as he realised that she was still as selfish as she was before, it was just him who thought that she has changed a bit, that she has opened her heart to him a little.

But the truth was that she was still waiting to go back and because her heart was locked just like it was before she did not consider the crisis of his imperial city as her own.

The more he thought about it the more he got upset, he no longer cared whether he was upset about her desiring to go back or was he upset because she was still as selfish as ever.

Not wanting to say anything upset he flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave, seeing him go Liu Hui Ying frowned and screamed, ” Why are you getting upset for huh? Did you not want to see me go? Or are you upset that I want to leave without solving the problem for you?”

Zhai Tianyu paused before turning to look at her as he calmly said, ” Neither, I just…” he paused before he turned around and left leaving Liu Hui Ying alone as she frowned. ” What …what do you mean by just ….? Hey! Hey! Reply to me! “
