Chapter 442: I Want to Play a Tune In Order To Give Your Majesty’s Prestige a Boost

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Previously, Ren Baqian had made many assumptions about the beginning and development of this battle.

In his opinion, the beginning of the story should be like this: Dressed in all red, the empress would stand alone on the peak of the mountain and overlook everyone below while saying indifferently, “All of you should die together.”

Or, the empress would fight alone against the other outstanding heroes. In the case that no one was a match for her, they would set up a formation. After that, Ren Baqian would throw dozens of fortified smoke grenades over and everyone would “escape upon smelling the gas.”

He would gain merit from this, and the empress would then deliver a kiss.

Or, during a crisis, he would take the empress along with him and escape to Earth. After whispering sweet nothings to each other and resting for a few days, they would return to the other world and see Xi Wanya’s big face right in front of them.

In short, the beginning, development, and ending of the story should have been something along these lines.

However, the beginning of the story was completely different from Ren Baqian’s imagination. He had worked so hard just to hide as an undercover agent among the enemy’s leadership group…

One sentence from the empress was all it took to immediately sell him out…

Using his peripheral vision, Ren Baqian looked at the surroundings. Currently, no one had determined who the empress was talking to yet. However, there were many people who were already looking at him.

If he now screamed, “Your Majesty, it’s great to see you. I missed you so much!” would they beat him up?

Would the empress be able to save him in the nick of time?

Ren Baqian felt that it would still be better for him to be more cautious.

Ren Baqian sneered at once and said, “Hmph! This must be beyond everyone’s expectation. None of you would have expected to see me here, right?!”

Everyone heard what Ren Baqian said. This Ye Yunxian had met Qi Zixiao before? There was still hatred between them? This Ye Yunxian was more formidable than they had expected.

What kind of person could forge an enmity with Qi Zixiao and not die? He was absolutely more than just an envoy from the Yun Nation!

Immediately, everyone looked at Ren Baqian in a bad light.

Ren Baqian took a few steps forward. Everyone gave way to him while waiting to see him confront the empress.

The empress didn’t expect that Ren Baqian would give such a cold reply. Immediately, she felt her heart aching, so she raised her eyebrows and looked at him with her ice-cold gaze.

At present, Ren Baqian was only tens of meters away from the empress. When he was passing through the crowd, he was very worried, but when he was standing in front of them, he finally relaxed, put on a smile that was full of warmth, and asked, “You didn’t expect me to be waiting for you over here, right? I have missed you to death!”

This familiar face and these familiar feelings somewhat warmed the empress’s heart.

One step, two steps, and on the third step, he jumped up and threw himself at her. Following which, the empress dodged, but conveniently gave him a princess hug. However, upon remembering his icy-cold tone just now, she felt uncomfortable and threw him to the ground.

Everyone in the vicinity was stunned. What was this situation? Originally, his tone gave everyone the feeling that they both knew each other. Furthermore, they thought that there was an enmity and deep hatred between them.

However, in the blink of an eye, the enmity between them turned into affection? This painting style had change too quickly, so quickly that everyone didn’t know how to react.

“Who are you?” Suddenly, someone reacted to the situation. This person was absolutely not from the Yun Nation.

It was impossible for someone from the Yun Nation to be on Qi Zixiao’s side.

Ren Baqian turned around and looked in all four directions. After being deceived, resentful looks were plastered on their faces.

Even though he didn’t have the mood to build relationships with these people, he still got to know many of them. There were experts from the Golden Ring Residence, the North Alliance, and the Southern Metropolis as well as people from a few other sects.

At this moment, everyone was staring at him with suspicion and indignance.

“My apologies, I’m a police officer!”

Ren Baqian looked at everyone. He had a pretty good impression of everyone here. Before they interacted, the death tolls were just a number to him. With regards to such a number, he was neither concerned nor did he overthink it.

After interacting with them, however, a humane image of each and every one of them was instilled in his mind.

He sighed and continued by saying, “You guys are criminals while I am an official. We aren’t people from the same industry. Honestly speaking, what all of you want is to walk out of this place. This time around, I am here for the same purpose, so don’t be so anxious!”

However, it was too late to say these words. The entirety of Tianjing Basin’s experts had already gathered here. It was impossible for everyone to retreat just because he said a few sentences. In this case, to not waste time, he stopped explaining further.

“Stop your nonsense. You are obviously not an aboriginal, yet you are Qi Zixiao’s dog! Practically an insult to your ancestors!” Immediately, someone scolded Ren Baqian, and this was followed by a series of scolding.

Upon seeing the situation, the empress’s gaze turned even colder. The murderous intent within her was even more vigorous, and she remembered each and everyone who opened their mouths

Only she could scold him—nobody else could.

I will kill anyone who scolds him!

“I know who he!” someone said. “You are the gigolo that Qi Zixiao is looking for, right?”

Ren Baqian touched his face. His reputation had even spread to this place!

“No doubt, I’m good-looking on the surface! However, after interacting with me for a long time, all of you will discover that my heart is also equally beautiful!” Ren Baqian sighed.

“Ptui! Who said that you are handsome? Aren’t you shameless?”

“Are you all doubting Her Majesty’s taste?” Ren Baqian retorted.

Ptui! Ptui! Ptui!

Undoubtedly, everyone revealed looks of contempt.

Everyone looked at the Golden Ring Residence chief and frowned. As Zhan Chankong stroked his beard, it could be seen from his gaze that his thoughts were complicated. Never would he have expected that he personally sent a spy to the hidden village. His heart was filled with resentment, anger, and all sorts of other thoughts, causing him to not even know what was he actually feeling.

In any case, no one dared to spit directly at the two of them. After all, the person standing beside Ren Baqian was the Empress of Dayao. Even if they were already prepared to die, the empress’s identity and strength made it impossible for them to ignore.

“Everyone, shut up!” Qingyun Sword frowned as he looked at the farce below.

“All of you are making a joke out of yourselves,” Qingyun Sword said. After that, he darted his gaze at Ren Baqian and said coldly, “I truly didn’t expect this!”

“I didn’t expect it either!” Ren Baqian replied. Indeed, he didn’t expect to mix himself with this group of people.

“I don’t like it when someone else is standing at a higher position than me!” The empress was aloof. Just now, when Ren Baqian came over, the momentum which she had been accumulating was disrupted. Following her every step now, she was slowly gaining back the momentum she lost.

The empress continued to walk to a higher position before looking down at everyone.

“Your Majesty, be careful,” Ren Baqian said from behind the empress.

“Retreat to the back! Let me check out what kind of tricks they have up their sleeves,” the empress said coldly.

The number of people who came was larger than what she had expected it to be. Previously, she hadn’t expected that the turnout would be so good. This place was huge, and there were many people that were all targeting her.

On the contrary, such a scene caused her to be even more competitive.

18 Spirit Wheel experts. Pretty good!

The experts among these remnant citizens of the Hao Nation were also pretty skillful.

There were tens of millions of people, but all the experts among the Hao Nation remnant citizens were gathered here and were looking up at the empress. This caused her to be all fired up, producing a booming noise like a flood of water pounding against a river bank.

In addition to the empress’s identity, she was also a martial practitioner and the fifth most powerful expert in the world.

The previous emperors of the aboriginals weren’t the type of rulers who would place themselves in dangerous situations.

Otherwise, how could the first-generation emperor throw everything away, bring along a group of experts, and disappear into the mountains without any news.

How could the second-generation emperor go out alone, get seriously injured, and subsequently vanish after he returned again.

Being an empress was her responsibility and identity, but it wasn’t everything.

The thunderous boom from the empress made the facial expressions of many experts change drastically. The blood and qi in her body produced a noise that resembled a powerful current.

To what stage had she actually cultivated her blood and qi to?

Ren Baqian was ashamed as he stood behind the empress. He then spoke with a different tone and asked, “Your Majesty is here to fight against other outstanding heroes. Why not let me play a tune to give Your Majesty’s prestige a boost?”

Just like a volcano, the empress was on the verge of erupting.

She could sense a bad omen.

Ren Baqiqan turned his face, smiled, and took out the erhu. With so many listeners at such a big event, his opportunity to perform had arrived.

The empress was standing alone and about to face hundreds of experts. Could an ordinary person match up to such might? Was this worthy of the average person?

It had to be “Pomp and Circumstance!”
