Chapter 759: Playing with the Fireball Technique!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Fireball Technique?” the empress asked angrily as she glanced at Ren Baqian. He had his four limbs tied up and was hanging from one side of Qishui. He also had a stick stuck on his forehead.

Ren Baqian, who was tied and hanging there, looked really wretched. His face was blotched while his clothing was torn.

However, under his clothing, his body didn’t have many injuries and his skin was still shiny.

“I was wrong, Your Majesty!” Ren Baqian said submissively.

“Huh? Wrong? Oh, Fireball Technique? Was it fun?” The empress looked at the numerous holes in her red dress and pressed the stick down more angrily.

“It’s my fault! I didn’t know it would be so powerful!” Ren Baqian said with an air of grievance.

Although they mentioned that it was flammable, who would expect it to be so powerful? It wasn’t gasoline.

“Didn’t I command you to stay out of trouble?” The empress pressed the stick once more.

“I feel that… I have the Fireball Technique up my sleeve…” Ren Baqian believed that he had done a good job. Wasn’t that herdsman cooked?

“I let you play with the Fireball Technique! Let you play with it!” The empress raised her eyebrows and pressed the stick on Ren Baqian’s forehead each time she finished a sentence.

She didn’t use a lot of force, but it was enough to fill his shiny forehead with bumps and make him look like Gautama Buddha.

“Ughh…” Ren Baqian groaned pathetically.

The empress’s face turned even darker.

“Keke! Keke…” Qing Yuan and Hong Luan were giggling away.

The crow general, who was behind Qishui, was gloating.

It was shown that such groaning did occasionally prove useful because the empress didn’t poke him with the stick anymore.

“Xiao Ya!” Qi Ziting, who was sitting on a big lizard, rushed forward.

“Although I also feel like killing him, those things of his were quite useful!” Qi Ziting came to Ren Baqian’s defense.

“Hmph!” The empress sniffed. She also knew how useful those things were.

She was simply angry at him.

She shouted at him to get away, but he wanted to play with the Fireball Technique. As a result, the herdsman was blasted like a dead dog.

“What did you use?” Qi Ziting looked at the tied up Ren Baqian and asked. He had been thinking over this question for a long time.

“It’s a kind of poison for dealing with insects. Ren Baqian gave Qi Ziting a bright smile.

“I didn’t expect you to be able to apply poison!” Qi Ziting was surprised.

The poisons that the aboriginals used came from snakes and insects and were smeared on arrow tips.

However, they were seldom used.

This was because only a few types of these poisons could be used to kill animals during a hunt without killing the people who ate what was hunted.

The aboriginals weren’t weak and the prey that could easily be killed by these poisons were normally not that strong. Therefore, the aboriginals didn’t need to use this method.

They did use poison on some difficult animals, but these animals were highly resistant to poison.

Therefore, the aboriginals seldom used poison and didn’t do much research on it.

The fact that Ren Baqian was an expert in poison was quite surprising to Qi Ziting.

“Even I’m afraid when I use poison!” Ren Baqian grinned and showed a set of white teeth.

They looked extraordinarily white on his blackened face.

“I underestimated you!” Qi Ziting recalled the incident and realized that this guy was a real professional.

If he were to ask Ren Baqian what he was afraid of, Ren Baqian would have told him that he was afraid of poisoning himself.

“I’ll let you play with the Fireball Technique again!” Something had triggered the empress, so she angrily poked his forehead with the stick again.

“Ouch…” Ren Baqian groaned by exhaling through his nose.

Qi Ziting gave Ren Baqian a strange look, then looked at the empress and sighed, “Xiao Ya, you have changed! Forget it. You are an adult… I do not want to nag any further…”

At first, the empress didn’t respond. Then, she saw Qi Ziting’s expression, suddenly understood, and her face reddened!

Gnashing her teeth, she looked at Qi Ziting and then at Ren Baqian and felt like burying these two under the palace.

Ren Baqian was released by the empress after hanging from Qishui’s side for a day. He dusted his face, put his mouth close to her ears, and said, “Your Majesty, I discovered something very important just now!”

“What is it?” The empress was still annoyed, but seeing that he was so serious, she immediately suppressed her thoughts.

Ren Baqian glanced at Qishui strangely and then said to the empress, “Your Majesty, my head was level with Qishui’s abdomen when I was hanging from its side. I discovered that it is a female!”

Bang!

The furious empress kicked Ren Baqian up to a treetop.

After jumping down, he was trampled on the ground by Qishui, whose scales were standing up.

Steam was streaming out from Qishui’s nose!

Ren Baqian stole a glance at Qishui’s lower body as he held his head in his hands. It was definitely a female, no doubt about it!

…

After another two days had passed, more bags appeared on the back of the crow general. It was carrying many bottles of the third version of the pesticide.

Everyone had finally reached the second destination, which was the place where Gong Zheng and Lin Qiaole had disappeared.

According to the plan, the group waited for the jade-waisted slaves to depart before dawn and then followed them.

Ren Baqian hated the herdsman here even more.

After all, Lin Qiaole was stranded here.

He felt sorry for that girl who had a pair of A’s every time he thought about the situation.

Ren Baqian only realized that it was quite nice to have such a person around after she went missing,

Besides eating and sleeping, she would occasionally ask for some candy and normally wouldn’t pester him.

It was like keeping a cat.

Most important of all, although she had a pair of A’s, she was still a pretty half-beast.

She was a living human.

She had also accompanied him in his ventures from the north to the south.

This made Ren Baqian sad every time he thought of her.

This was especially so as he got closer to the destination, and the feeling became even deeper.

When he picked up his binoculars to look at the forest in the distance, his eyes suddenly froze.

He saw a girl with a pair of A’s and dishevelled hair in the forest catching demonic butterflies…

She would crouch, watch attentively, then jump at the jade-waisted slaves there. From time to time, she would catch one and put it into her mouth with a satisfied look.

This person… could only be Lin Qiaole?

This made Ren Baqian tremble.

He wasn’t emotional, he was agitated!

She was supposed to protect Gong Zheng, but now that Gong Zheng was missing, she was spending her time catching butterflies?

Ren Baqian momentarily felt like burying this rascal.

After his anger had subsided, he raised his eyebrows.

If Lin Qiaole was seen by the empress… What would the empress do?

Would the empress let her go?

With the empress’s character, the disappearance of Gong Zheng, and Lin Qiaole still catching butterflies here, the probability of the empress burying her was 90 percent.

The other 10 percent chance was that she would be executed before being buried.

Whatever the status of Lin Qiaole and her relationship with the empress, it was impossible for the empress to treat this matter lightly.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be fair to Gong Zheng and the winged cavalry warriors who had lost their lives here.

Even Ren Baqian felt that Lin Qiaole should not be forgiven.

No matter how he viewed it, whether using the laws of the country, relationships, or family rules, there was no reason to forgive her.

This left Ren Baqian with mixed feelings.

He didn’t understand. Although Lin Qiaole was normally unreliable and had been with him for quite some time, how was it possible for her to behave like this in such a situation?

This scene made him angry, and he found it hard to bear. Why couldn’t she live up to expectations?

The empress, seeing that he did not look normal, asked him softly, “What’s the situation in front? Are there any changes?”
