The Empress’s Gigolo

“Your Majesty, be careful. Is his blood poisonous?” Ren Baqian asked with concern as the empress descended from midair.

The empress looked at her palm, shook her hand hard, and the blue blood staining her hand fell to the ground.

Not even a trace was left.

Then, she said coolly, “I’m fine.”

The empress looked at the cave that she had smashed. A rustling sound was continuously heard coming from inside, and it seemed like only a thin layer of the cave wall was left.

The empress rose up and swatted the cliff two more times with her palm, causing rocks to cascade down and block the cave.

No matter what, she couldn’t allow these jade-waisted slaves to cause any problems now.

After doing all of this, Ren Baqian and the empress turned their attention to the fallen Bor.

The lower half of his body had been smashed by the empress. Furthermore, he had fallen from a height of several hundred meters, causing blue blood to splatter everywhere.

Still alive, Bor was lying on the ground with his chest heaving slightly.

From the fragments of his body, it could be seen that his physique was different from a human’s and that his bones were significantly thinner than a human’s. Ren Baqian picked up an appendage from the ground and found it to be extremely light. It was unexpectedly light with a much lower muscle density than that of humans.

The weight of the bone was equally light and was probably the reason why the body was so thin. These bones simply couldn’t support a body that was too heavy.

This body structure also gave them superior speed over humans and beasts.

As Ren Baqian went forward to give him a light kick, Bor turned his head slightly. It was hard to tell whether his compound eyes, which consisted of numerous visual elements, were open or closed.

However, this movement of his head showed that he was still conscious.

“Tell us what we want to know. Your injuries can still be healed!” Ren Baqian said.

“You deceived me!” Bor mumbled through his lips.

“I apologize. After seeing you, I couldn’t help but deceive you!” Ren Baqian laughed and sat beside him.

“Why?”

“Because you are too stupid! I haven’t seen such a stupid person in a long time!”

“Stupid…??” Bor muttered. This word was unfamiliar to him.

However, he understood its meaning.

“You said that my injuries can be healed. Is that also a lie?” Bor said.

Ren Baqian laughed again. Either this guy was getting smarter or he knew the condition of his body.

Half of his body was gone and all the bones in his body were broken. If he could be saved, it would be a miracle!

However, his voice was still clear, and it looked like he could still hold on for a period of time.

“Why do all of you want to do these things?” Ren Baqian asked.

“What things?”

“These jade-waisted slaves. How did you put them into the bodies of the aboriginals and why did you do it?”

Bor looked at him strangely and replied, “We are the herdsmen of the jade-waisted slaves! Why do you ask why? Jade-waisted slaves are our food and also our weapon. Aboriginals are the easiest petri dish to find, and the jade-waisted slaves cultivated through aboriginals taste the best.”

When she heard this, the empress said coldly, “This is why you deserve to die!”

“To the aboriginals, perhaps it’s like this. To other living things, you also deserve death. Eating food in order to live, isn’t this natural? You think that those that harm your aboriginals deserve death because you have wisdom and other concepts like love and hate,” Bor said softly.

The empress and Ren Baqian didn’t know how to counter these words.

“Do you have love and hate?” Ren Baqian was interested in this issue.

This was the second time he had seen a human-like creature.

The previous one only knew how to eat and sleep and didn’t have any redeeming values.

“We… also have them! Only unlike you aboriginals, we… when we grow up, we give up our childhood memories because we need to survive on our own and provide pastures for the jade-waisted slaves. We only get together when mating.

Childhood memories would make us more lonely while living alone for a long time period and would also make us weak.

That’s why we forgo our childhood memories when we grow up and embark on a journey to find a habitat… Letting go of our memories and also letting go of love and hate…”

After hearing him out, Ren Baqian looked up at the empress and said softly, “To us, love and hate are the best things in our lives. If we were to give them up, we would be no different from beasts.”

He lowered his head and said, “You are going to be killed by us, yet you can still talk to us calmly. Is it because you have renounced love and hate? In my opinion, this is extremely sad!”

“To kill or be killed, eating other living things or being eaten by them, it’s part and parcel of life. Death is just a state. Although you are going to kill me, I will not hate anything… Or it can be said that I let hatred be forgotten…” Bor muttered.

“Why did you want to kill us when we discovered you?” Ren Baqian found this very strange. Based on Bor’s present attitude, why did he want to kill the two of them at that time?

“Because you will kill us. We used the aboriginals as cultivation material and expected you to take revenge. The aboriginals are a race like that or you could say that humans are like that.”

“How much do you know about humans?” Ren Baqian added.

“I don’t know… Every time I eat one, I understand a bit more… Maybe when I eat enough humans, I will completely understand…” Bor’s words sent a chill to Ren Baqian’s heart.

This race could get information by eating jade-waisted slaves cultivated from aboriginals.

“What do you mean?” Ren Baqian asked hastily.

“I’m tired… Although this is the first time I talked so much with humans, it will also be the last. However, I’m tired… It seems like I’m dying…” Bor mumbled.

“How do you obtain information by eating jade-waisted slaves? Where are your compatriots?”

Bor smiled in the form of a grin and then kept quiet. Ren Baqian had no idea where Bor’s compound eyes were focused.

“Is he still alive?” Ren Baqian felt Bor’s heart and discovered that it had stopped beating.

“He’s dead.” Ren Baqian announced as he stood up. He regretted not finishing his questioning.

However, Bor’s compatriots were still around.

“Well, can you put my dead body in the river?” Bor suddenly asked, giving Ren Baqian a fright.

Ren Baqian thought that it was a corpse coming back to life.

“Why?”

“Because our race believes that we belong to the water after our death,” Bor said.

“Miserable!” the empress said coldly.

“That’s really regretful!” Bor muttered.

Ren Baqian saw Bor’s compound eyes lose their luster.

“So you know what regret is!” Ren Baqian said softly.

Subsequently, there was no further response.

“Are you really dead this time?” Ren Baqian sighed.

He didn’t expect to encounter so many incidents while trying to unwind during this walk.

However, it was considered a good thing since they had found out who the enemy was.

“Your Majesty, let me take the head,” Ren Baqian said when he saw the empress about to take action.

The empress shouldn’t be doing such things.

It was unsightly!

“Do not damage it!” the empress said casually.

“I know!” Ren Baqian squatted beside Bor and touched his neck. It was thin and should snap with a twist. However, it merely felt that way.

Breaking his neck wasn’t that hard, but pulling his head off required more strength and technique.

As Ren Baqian gave a silent command, a silvery golden spear appeared in his hand.

He pointed the spear at Bor’s neck, moved it sideways, and prepared to strike when the empress suddenly said, “Wait!”

“What is it?”

“The blood will spurt out and spray on your body due to your position,” the empress said.

Surprised, Ren Baqian asked, “Shouldn’t his blood be drained away by now?”

The empress shook her head and replied, “There’s still a lot of blood in his body, and it’s enough to spray out.”

“I will change my position.” Ren Baqian moved to a different location, aimed again, and looked at the empress once more before asking, “Is this position fine?”

“You can come in from another direction, move half way around, and cut the neck. This way, the artery will be cut last and you can pull out the spear before withdrawing,” the empress explained.

“Got it,” Ren Baqian affirmed.

In this situation, where a lady who was as beautiful as a fairy instructed a man on this type of procedure, it would always look strange to others.

Ren Baqian changed his angle and was about to strike when he thought of something, saying, “In fact, it would be feasible to send the whole body back and let the Messier 87 department examine everything.

After all, know yourself and know the enemy.

Anyway, I have no time to send the head back now. Let’s just put it in the fridge and then settle the matter when we are back in Lan City.”

The empress thought about it and agreed with this idea.

Just as she was about to nod in agreement, Bor, who was lying on the ground, started to sigh and complained, “Can you two hurry up? I have been waiting for half a day!”

Ren Baqian moved his hand… and plunged the spear into Bor…
