The Empress’s Gigolo

“Be careful, Your Majesty. There are strange fish in this water!” Ren Baqian shouted to the empress who walked toward the river.

It wasn’t just this river. There were many strange fish in Dayao’s rivers as well.

There were also giant crocodiles, which were more common, and an unknown number of other strange animals.

Take this river for instance.

As soon as Ren Baqian’s voice sounded, a dozen black snake-like creatures leaped out of the water like crossbow bolts. These creatures were about the length of a forearm and the size of two fingers. Their front end had a mouth filled with fangs, which looked like a snake with its mouth open. Their upper and lower jaws could open up to 180 degrees.

The empress didn’t even look at them. She simply swept her hand through the air and those creatures exploded, spilling red blood all over.

The next scene would make those with an intense phobia pass out immediately.

Hundreds of these same creatures leaped out of the water and fought over the flesh and blood that was still in the air.

There was no telling how many more black snakeheads gathered on the surface of the water. They were so densely packed that it gave everyone goosebumps.

The empress’s face was cold as she swatted her palm through the air. Hundreds of these creatures turned into a rain of blood, and the surface of the water was pressed downward. The creatures on the water surface exploded one after another, and the entire river was stained red.

The water went calm for a few minutes. Soon after, countless black creatures appeared underwater and scrambled to devour the flesh and blood of their kind.

“Danger, Your Majesty!” Ren Baqian held the empress’s arm.

“What’s so dangerous?” She frowned slightly and couldn’t be bothered. “Why are there so many of these fish?”

He tugged hard on her arm…

He then pulled her by her waist…

And then her thigh…

Ren Baqian felt as if he was pulling on a metal post… The empress didn’t move at all.

“What are you doing?” She turned around and stuck her hands under his arms, lifting him up…

High up into the air…

A slender woman in red with her hands under his arms. He was a big man who weighed more than 100 kilograms, yet she simply lifted him up like this… It was a sight that didn’t seem very abnormal to the rest.

“I’m trying to see if I can move you… It’s really very dangerous here. I’m trying to pull you back a little.” Ren Baqian spread his arms like that scene from the Titanic, and the empress immediately threw him to the ground.

“What’s so dangerous?” She sniffled.

“It isn’t those fish that are dangerous… It’s the parasites on them…” He drew close to her, put his hand into her clothes, and moved around…

Pow!

The empress slapped him without any hesitation.

“Your Majesty, do you see anything on your body?” Ren Baqian retracted his hand.

She was slightly stunned.

“They are little things that are as thin as a cow’s hair, and they move extremely fast. These parasites usually stay on the bodies of those strange fish and launch themselves toward a target when the fish leaps out of the water. Unsuspecting victims will fall prey to them very easily.

These things grow bigger after feeding on the blood of their targets. At the same time, they inject a trace of toxin into their prey, making them hallucinate. The prey will then fall into the river and get eaten by those strange fish,” Ren Baqian explained.

Next, he added, “They can even bite a hole into ironware. Even though you have a tough body, you still must guard against them, Your Majesty.”

After hearing what he said, the empress’s face changed slightly.

Any woman would have an instinctive aversion to bugs, especially the blood-sucking kind that stuck to the body.

She squinted her eyes slightly, felt carefully, and her face immediately turned gloomy.

There really were parasites on her body…

This made the empress feel extremely sick. It was as if she had just eaten a fly.

These parasites actually managed to withstand the force of her palm and land on her body without her even knowing… If it wasn’t for Ren Baqian’s reminder and her careful sensing, she probably wouldn’t have noticed the subtle inconsistencies in certain parts of her body.

The next second, she blasted energy from her skin. She then manipulated the energy in her body to the surface and zapped all those parasites.

However, the empress could still feel their presence.

Her face turned green, and a crackling sound could be heard all over her body. It wasn’t the cracking of her bones, but the sound of the air around the surface of her body. A strong gale twirled around her as the grass beneath her feet instantly turned into fragments before getting worn down into fine dust by the wind.

However, the subtle inconsistencies on her skin still remained unchanged.

She began to feel a little upset.

“Your Majesty, although these things are extremely small and can be crushed to death with one finger, they are resistant against force!” Ren Baqian finally said this after all this time.

The empress glared at him.

He spread his hands and expressed his helplessness. In fact, he had been watching for a while as she did all those things…

However, the parasites weren’t very dangerous. It would be dangerous if the affected person was alone because they would easily fall into the water while hallucinating. If there was more than one person, as long as the others were clear-headed, there wouldn’t be any danger.

After sucking enough blood, these parasites would grow to the size of a little finger and fall off the skin automatically.

The empress grabbed Ren Baqian and ran off into the distance while saying, “Everyone, stay here! If anyone dares to follow me… I’ll kill without pardon!”

After just a brief period of time, she ran more than 15 kilometers while grabbing ahold of him before finding a forest and stopping.

She turned around and tossed her red muslin and white innerwear into the air.

“Pick them off for me…” All of the empress’s hair was standing on end.

Nobody could come to terms with having so many parasites stuck on their body for so long.

Ren Baqian looked at her body, and it was perfect from top to bottom. It was extremely alluring, and a blaze of passion subconsciously arose in him.

He suppressed this inner passion and carefully searched the places where the empress pointed her fingers at.

The parasites hadn’t gotten bigger and were merely the size of a few thin strands of hair. This indicated that they hadn’t penetrated her skin.

These parasites could even bite through iron.

Ren Baqian stretched out his hand and crushed them. They then fell off with a flick of his finger.

These things simply had tougher heads and weren’t affected by energy strikes, but their bodies were pretty fragile.

There were a total of seven parasites, and he managed to get all of them off. The empress finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Ren Baqian hugged her afterward and said, “I can’t seem to find them… I need to look more closely…”

“Oh, has your waist recovered?” the empress asked provocatively.

“This is a rare opportunity…” He laughed mischievously. They usually did it in the palace… This place felt entirely different!

An opportunity like this was too hard to come by!

“They are still waiting!”

“Let them keep waiting!”

Soon after, both of them started rolling on the ground. Regardless of whether they rolled into rocks or branches, everything got crushed to bits. Marks were left on the ground as if it had been rolled over by a road roller.

Half a day later, Tong Zhenye looked in the direction where the empress had disappeared to. Gradually, his face turned black.

Even after this long, they still hadn’t returned…

After some time, he finally realized something… He shouldn’t be expecting them to come back today.

According to the norm… Tong Zhenye probably wouldn’t expect to see them over the next day or two…

The only thing left for him to do was to go back.

One of the officials of the Ministry of Works came over and asked, “What should we do, Sir Tong?”

“Wait here! I’ll go back to the city to settle something and return once I’m done!” Tong Zhenye said.

On the other hand, Ren Baqian and the empress were rolling around in the wilderness with their limbs tightly intertwined and enjoying the thrill of blending into each other’s body and senses.

A day and a half later, the surroundings around them suddenly changed.

She noticed the change in environment the moment it happened and felt relieved once she saw that there was nobody around.

Two and a half days later, the two finally let go of each other. The empress’s entire body was blushing in a rose color and radiating brightly!

Next, she asked, “Where is this?”

“The headquarters in Wuji City.” Ren Baqian supported his waist with one hand and propped himself against the wall with the other. He lifted his head and saw a large hole in the ceiling!

The duo had fallen through more than ten levels of floors!

“The quality of this building project is too poor…” He felt that he had to confront somebody!

Because of the strength of the experts, Ren Baqian deliberately ordered that all the walls and ceilings be built with almost twice the thickness of ordinary walls.

Which construction company was responsible for this? What was this quality?

This was simply a jerry-built building project!
