The Empress's Gigolo

Chapter 713: A Trip to the North

After that, he lifted the collar of Lin Qiaole who snoring and drooling.

Suddenly, an idea came into his mind. It would be interesting if Lin Qiaole’s clothes went over, but she was left naked in Dayao.

However, it was only a thought.

He clearly knew that Lin Qiaole would be transported over unless they exceeded the weight limit.

This could only happen if the total maximum weight was exceeded and he held her collar without touching her body.

The space around them began to warp.

Right at this moment, a red streak appeared and rushed across at Ren Baqian.

With the change in environment, they returned to the villa and the location where the imperial carriage had been placed.

The temperature changed from extremely hot to harshly cold, and the cold air felt pleasant to Ren Baqian.

Ren Baqian used to dislike winter in the northeast because it was very cold. However, Dayao was uncomfortably hot all year round, which made him yearn for this type of cold weather.

As Ren Baqian held the sleeping Lin Qiaole by the collar, she casually wiped away her saliva with her hand.

The empress was carrying a small red object in her arms and smiling slightly with a spurious grin.

It was about the size of a teddy bear, slightly smaller than a fox, and had a pair of fleshy wings, a red back, and a white abdomen. It grinned fiercely at the empress.

“This rascal—I have finally seen someone who voluntarily falls into a trap.” Ren Baqian was surprised to see the little animal she was carrying.

“This thing seems to be interested in you.” The empress looked favorably at it.

The bichi was a rare animal mentioned in legends and was a bad omen.

It was a very fast animal, and most people could occasionally see no more than its back. Unless it was willing, it was difficult to touch it.

Even the empress couldn’t catch up to it.

Nobody expected it to come willingly at this point in time.

“Whether in Dayao or Earth, this thing is hiding somewhere and only appears during the period of transition. It seems to be attracted by something during the transition,” Ren Baqian said.

“That should be right.” The empress nodded.

“It has happened so many times—have you discovered anything?” Ren Baqian asked curiously.

The empress shook her head and replied, “No. I only discovered it right before this transition, but there’s some kind of warping in space. It is as if something has opened.”

“What is it?”

“The opening of a link between two worlds.”

Ren Baqian nodded, but he was not sure whether the opening of this connection was attracting the animal.

It might be something else that they hadn’t discovered yet.

It was a pity that the bichi couldn’t speak.

Ren Baqian went forward to scratch its exposed belly. The bichi struggled desperately, lashed out with its paws, and scratched Ren Baqian’s hands, leaving him with some wounds.

“Behave yourself… Is it male or female?” Ren Baqian risked getting more bloodstains on his hands and parted its two legs to take a look.

The bichi exploded with anger and kept roaring at Ren Baqian.

If the empress hadn’t held it tightly, it would have fought desperately with Ren Baqian.

“Shall we prepare a cage for it?” Ren Baqian considered putting this thing in a cage and sending it to the capital of Great Xia. After a few years, the capital would only have a few people left.

The empress liked the big round eyes of the bichi, and her face was full of tenderness.

“Forget it. It’s just a small thing. Whether it’s good or bad, you shouldn’t bully this poor thing.” The empress stroked its head with one hand and then released it.

The bichi immediately streaked across and scratched Ren Baqian’s face.

“Ouch!” Ren Baqian cried out as the little thing disappeared without a trace.

“You have severely offended it.” The empress chuckled,

Ren Baqian complained, “Please do not laugh! I have been disfigured!”

“It will be fine after applying some medicine,” the empress said casually. “This small thing is very smart. Your face is bloodstained and scary looking, but no serious damage was done. With barbs in its claws, it could have taken out a chunk of flesh if it wanted to.”

Ren Baqian sighed at this undeserved misfortune.

He was just trying to check whether it was male or female.

No matter how smart it was, it was still an animal. Did it care about moral concepts?

There was no point in thinking about it.

Ren Baqian turned and saw a row of winged cavalry warriors standing there respectfully.

Then, they greeted, “My respects to the boss! My respects to lady boss!”

“Remember that everyone will be given ten slashes each to ensure that you won’t forget to bring the whip along next time,” the empress said.

“Yes!” The crowd didn’t try to absolve themselves and accepted the punishment.

“Wake up! We have arrived!” Ren Baqian threw Lin Qiaole on the ground and kicked her butt lightly.

“Hey!” Lin Qiaole rubbed her eyes and crawled up from the floor.

“This is… that place… what’s it called?” After Lin Qiaole saw the courtyard and villa, she realized that she was no longer in Dayao.

“Go in and change your clothes.” Ren Baqian smacked the back of her head and threw her a piece of White Rabbit Creamy Candy.

This fully showcased the so called “carrot and stick” approach.

Many winged calvary warriors were relieved after these people went into the villa to change.

It seemed like a heavy punishment, but to them, it was very light. They were happy that the empress didn’t skin them alive.

Since the empress went to her room, the job of changing clothes for Lin Qiaole was left to Ren Baqian.

It sounded like a benefit, but Lin Qiaole’s flat figure didn’t interest Ren Baqian, and he could see it many times if he wanted to.

When sleeping, she usually wore an undergarment that covered her chest and abdomen and a pair of shorts. Accidental exposure did occur… but there was not much to expose, and it was no better than looking at himself.

At least his chest muscles were bigger.

He threw a T-shirt to her and instructed, “Wear it the same way as before.”

When the empress was besieged in Tianjin Basin, Ren Baqian brought Lin Qiaole, Hong Luan, and Qing Yuan over, so they knew how to wear clothes from Earth.

Lin Qiaole grunted as she took off her clothes. She put the T-shirt over her undergarment and shorts like a gown. The T-shirt reached down to her knees and exposed half of her shoulders.

Lin Qiaole was very skinny and her features were not similar to the wild appearance of the aboriginals. On the contrary, she was as delicate as a little white flower. Wearing a gown, she looked like the girl next door and exemplified pureness and refinement.

After changing, she fought to keep her eyes open. She planted herself in the comfortable bed and gave a groan of pleasure.

Ren Baqian took a look at her after changing his clothes. The empress intended for Lin Qiaole to be his bodyguard during his trips to Earth.

From her appearance, she didn’t look like a threat to anyone.

In reality, she didn’t hold back when killing people, didn’t feel any guilt, and treated it like drinking water or like a predator hunting prey.

Ren Baqian gave Yang Sen a call regarding his schedule. He went downstairs and saw the empress sitting on the sofa eating an ice-cream bar.

“It is nine in the morning now. We will set out in an hour’s time and reach the place at night,” Ren Baqian said to the empress sitting beside him.

“Hey, this is the last stick.” The empress pointed to the ice-cream wrapper on the table.

This was more important than the matter Ren Baqian was talking about.

One hour later, three cars stopped in front of the villa.

“Your Majesty, let’s go!” Ren Baqian pulled up the empress and went upstairs to carry Lin Qiaole down.

He didn’t know what the reception in the north was about.

In retrospect, Ren Baqian did harbor some expectations.
