The Empress’s Gigolo

Warlord Xun almost laughed after hearing this disrespect. They actually dared to rob a warlord’s residence? If it weren’t for the fact that the person in front of him didn’t look delirious, Warlord Xun would probably have suspected that she was suffering from hysteria.

“How should I address you? If you need travel expenses, as long as you ask, I still might provide you with some. There’s no need for you to crack such a joke,” said Warlord Xun while still sounding calm. After all, he had seen all sorts of people and wasn’t easily agitated.

“Rob and steal your money or die.”

The empress remained unmoved. She didn’t even have a good impression of these remnant citizens of the Hao Nation. Instead, she was very disgusted. If it weren’t for the original agreement, she would have already killed these people.At the moment, just taking his money and sparing his life was already a great gift to him. Upon hearing what she said, the warlord’s face turned pale. He was already speaking in a nice manner. Did the other party think that he, the warlord of Longshou City, was a good target to bully?

“This lunatic dares to spout nonsense over here.” Before the warlord could even speak, his subordinates couldn’t stand it any longer.

The empress’s figure flashed past.

Pow! The person who spoke suddenly spurted blood from their seven apertures and softly fell to the ground.Nobody would have expected that when she said she was going to take action, she really would do so. This unforeseen event caused everyone to be taken aback, and they furiously got up from their seats and wanted to pull out their weapons.

“Spirit Wheel… Everyone, stop.” At the next instant, Warlord Xun realized how strong the other party was. He wasn’t able to react to her speed. Apart from a Spirit Wheel expert, nobody else would be able to do such a thing.

After he said this sentence, everyone froze as beads of perspiration trickled down their foreheads.

How could she be a Spirit Wheel expert? This woman was actually a Spirit Wheel expert?

“Senior…” Warlord Xun got up and said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll definitely do my best to obtain whatever senior needs.”

Ultimately, he still didn’t believe that a Spirit Wheel expert would run into his residence just to commit robbery.

What was the identity of a Spirit Wheel expert? Tianjing Basin had a population of ten million people, but there were only 13 famous Spirit Wheel experts. This was due to the fact that the lifespan of a Spirit Wheel expert exceeded that of an ordinary person.

Regardless of where a Spirit Wheel expert went, he or she would be treated like one’s ancestors.

There wasn’t a need for a Spirit Wheel expert to rob!

“Gold!” The empress didn’t know about psychological warfare. Her objective was very clear-cut.

“You, get someone to bring all the gold in the treasury here.” Warlord Xun didn’t expect that the other party really wanted money. However, his reaction was quick, and he immediately instructed the frozen servant at the side. This servant had been rooted in place ever since the empress spoke her first sentence. Upon hearing the warlord’s command, he immediately scrambled to his feet and ran outside. The empress wasn’t worried about them playing any tricks because this was something that could be settled by a simple slap. Those guys wouldn’t be able to raise a ruckus in front of her.

“Senior, please wait a moment.” Warlord Xun cupped his hands in obeisance.

The empress ignored him. Subsequently, the room quieted down. Everyone kept quiet out of fear because they were afraid that they would provoke the woman in front of them.

It was obvious that she wasn’t a good tempered person.

“Warlord, some people broke into the residence…”

Warlord Xun looked blankly at the guard who rushed in to inform him and quickly waved the guard off.

“Take your leave, and inform everyone to resume their duties. It’s a senior who broke in.”

After waiting for about 20 minutes, heavy footsteps could be heard from outside. Several people moved four boxes into the hall and placed them on the ground.

Warlord Xun took a few steps forward and opened the boxes. Among the four boxes, three of them were filled with gold ingots, while the last box was filled with all kinds of jewelry.

Thereafter, he obediently stood at the side and said, “Senior, everything’s here.”

The empress tilted her head. Immediately, Qing Yuan and Hong Luan went forward and stuffed some gold ingots from the box into a wrapping cloth. Then, they set their gaze on the jewelry.

This jewelry was beautifully crafted. Some of them were embedded with gems, causing both Qing Yuan and Hong Luan to become even more excited. One of them filled the wrapping cloth to its brim before stopping.

The empress stared hard at the warlord. If he hadn’t replied to her in the correct way just now, she probably would have killed him with one swat. She didn’t expect that he would be quick-witted, but she let him keep his life as a result. The empress’s stare made the warlord sweat, and he was drenched in his own perspiration. However, he didn’t dare to move a single bit.

The empress kept silent, turned around, and left the house. Qing Yuan and Hong Luan hurriedly caught up with her as the things in their bags rattled while they walked.

“Phew!” Once the empress left the courtyard, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and sat in the chairs.

“That person was young, beautiful, and dressed in red. It can’t be… Oh!” One of them spoke halfway, then everyone else’s expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly covered his mouth.

“Don’t drag us down even if you want to die!” the person next to him whispered.

From that lady’s outstanding appearance, young age, and wardrobe style, not only did he guess her identity, but everyone else guessed it too. Yet, nobody dared to say anything.

If they said something and it was heard by that person, perhaps no one here would be able to survive.

That person shouldn’t have even appeared here at all. If the news of her appearance spread, it would definitely create a huge ruckus.

The entire Tianjing Basin would take action upon hearing this news.

Although no one knew why was she here, it was a fact that she had shown herself. Furthermore, she was most likely the same person that everyone was thinking of in their minds.

“A crisis is going to occur!” More than one person revealed such thoughts. Moments later, everyone was finally at ease after realizing that the woman didn’t return.

The man who was called Mister Fang got up and said, “Warlord Xun, I’ll take my leave.”

He had to bring this piece of news back immediately.

Warlord Xun also had no intentions of keeping him here. He was dumbfounded now. Why did Qi Zixiao come?

Even though everyone had been mulling over how to start a revolt on a daily basis, in the event that they really met Qi Zixiao, nobody wouldn’t be terrified.

…

“Miss, where are we heading to now?” After they left the warlord’s residence, Qing Yuan and Hong Luan asked this because they were starving.

“Eat,” the empress said indifferently.

Both Qing Yuan and Hong Luan looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with happiness.

After finding a restaurant, the trio sat in a private room. Qing Yuan and Hong Luan then opened the wrapping cloth and laid out all the gold and jewelry.

“Miss, take a look. This bracelet is embedded with nine rubies and is the best fit for you.””This necklace is pretty good too.”

While the both of them were chattering away, the empress was looking out the window at the pedestrians on the streets.

Upon finishing their dinner, the three of them randomly found an inn to stay for the night.

After arranging a room for Qi Zixiao and her two servants to sleep in, the lady boss of the inn looked in their room’s direction and gently trembled.

If anyone saw her now, they would definitely be frightened by her expression. Her eyes were shining while the corners of her mouth were drawn back at an angle that wasn’t humanly possible.

“Perfect. I have never seen such a beautiful person before. I really want to peel her skin and turn her into a human puppet… I am so excited. I can’t help but drool when I think of collecting such a beautiful human puppet…”After standing behind the counter for a long time, she finally made a cup of tea and added something to it. After that, she swayed gently with every step she took as she moved toward the room on the second floor.

“Distinguished guests, would all of you like some tea? This tea is made from premium tea leaves that I have collected myself…”

The empress took a sip from the sorghum wine bottle and said, “Leave. Don’t bother us if I don’t instruct you to.”

Behind the door, the lady boss’s face became warped. In no time, a distorted smile emerged on her face as well.
