The Empress Is Gigolo

"Mr. Ren." The incoming person didn"t exactly look pleased.

"See, this isn"t my fault. I have a bad temper, and I tend to get anxious with anyone that provokes me. It"s already pretty good that this person here is still alive." Ren Baqian spread out his arms.

He stood up and limped toward the outside as he spoke.

"Yo! Yo! Yo!" Ren Baqian acted as if he was singing hip-hop. He made this sound as he walked, inhaling the cold air into his mouth.

It was painful. The bullet seemed to have hit his bones.

He had never been that unyielding type who was able to pretend that nothing had happened even after suffering a gunshot wound.

He was the type who would announce every single problem he was facing, not to mention that he was suffering from a gunshot wound.

The others then came to realize that Ren Baqian actually had gunshot wounds.

"Why did you hurt yourself?" Looking at how Ren Baqian was hurting, the empress still couldn"t figure out why he had actually inflicted damage on himself.

Ren Baqian was speechless and couldn"t be bothered to explain.

After that, the police arrived. With the presence of the people from the Messier 87 department, the police couldn"t do much to Ren Baqian.

After the Messier 87 department understood the whole story, they didn"t know whether to laugh or cry.

So much disturbance had been stirred up over such a trifle.

Fortunately, nothing major had happened.

That dentist only suffered a shock and didn"t die, so this could be considered teaching her a lesson. They didn"t like this type of healthcare worker. n.o.body would want to meet such healthcare workers when they were sick.

However, Ren Baqian felt that he had suffered a loss. It was just a visit to the dentist for the empress, yet he had to suffer a gunshot wound while the rest were all unscathed.

By the time Ren Baqian got the bullet extracted and his wound bandaged at a nearby hospital, the Messier 87 department had already found another dentist for the empress.

Not only had they found her a dentist, Yang Sen even personally rushed over with a couple of research staff from the laboratory.

They were pretty interested in gathering some data from the empress.

They didn"t usually have the chance to, but now, with this given opportunity, they would definitely not miss it.

Even a strand of fallen hair from the empress was considered very valuable to them, not to mention other things like teeth, saliva, and blood. If they were lucky, they could probably even obtain all of these this time.

Of course, they wouldn"t dare say such things in the presence of Ren Baqian. Instead, they claimed to be a.s.sisting the dentist.

After all, the empress"s ident.i.ty was special and so was the situation. In the case that any problems arose, it"d be much easier to resolve.

There weren"t any mishaps during the dental consultation this time. After an old dentist had examined the empress, she gently laughed and said, "It"s the eruption of the wisdom teeth. They usually erupt between the age of 16 to 25, but there are also some cases of eruption beyond that age. It"s nothing serious, but there is one tooth impacting the eruption of a wisdom tooth. Due to the obstruction of where the wisdom tooth was supposed to be at, an infection has occurred, so I suggest that it should be extracted."

"No way!" the empress immediately refused without any hesitation.

Her eyes were wide open, like those of a phoenix. She would chop off the head of anyone who dared to extract her tooth.

"I"m afraid you won"t be able to eat sweets for the time being," Ren Baqian said unhurriedly.

The empress was speechless.

She hated this sentence from Ren Baqian the most.

"It"s better that you heed the dentist"s advice. This wisdom tooth serves no purpose, and it will impact the other teeth if it erupts crookedly. Not to mention the rest, just think about the White Rabbit Creamy Candies. They are waiting for you," Ren Baqian spoke gently as he held her hand.

"Are there any problems with her other teeth?" Ren Baqian asked. After all, he was afraid that the empress"s teeth might have decayed since she loved eating sweets so much.

Even though the empress was very strong and her body was almost impervious to swords, it was hard to say the same for things like a bacteria infection.

"There are absolutely no problems with any of her other teeth," the dentist replied.

With that, Ren Baqian"s mind was put at ease.

"Right now there are only two options. It"s either you extract it and then you can eat whatever you want or you leave it, but then you will have to bear with the pain. Also, if you don"t extract it, you can"t eat sweet stuff anymore. I"m afraid you can"t have things that are too hot or too cold either. It"s a choice between momentary pain or lasting pain," Ren Baqian told the empress as he stood beside her.

The empress was at a loss and reluctantly nodded after quite some time. She nodded very lightly, so lightly that one wouldn"t be able to tell if one didn"t pay attention.

"Prepare for the extraction." Seeing her expression, Ren Baqian decided to strike while the iron was hot.

As for the matter of wisdom tooth extraction, Ren Baqian didn"t have any psychological burden. In any case, it was still better off this way than seeing the empress act so moody and unhappy after she ate anything these days.

At present, the biggest problem was that even though the empress had already agreed, would it actually be possible to extract a tooth from her.

"Zixiao, she"s here to treat your condition. If she were to hurt you in any way, please don"t kill her," Ren Baqian whispered into the empress"s ears. He was afraid that the empress might unintentionally smack that old lady to death.

While Ren Baqian was talking, his breath spouted into the empress"s ear, making it a little itchy.

However, her entire mind was preoccupied with the tooth extraction, so she couldn"t be bothered by anything else.

To the empress, a tooth extraction could possibly be more serious than Great Xia and the Yun Nation collaboratively attacking Dayao.

"All of you get out," the empress said after some time.

"You guys get out," Ren Baqian said to Yang Sen and his people.

"In case anything happens, they are a.s.sistants on standby." Yang Sen pointed at the other two people.

"They"ve got to leave as well." Ren Baqian showed no quarter.

"You too." The empress poked Ren Baqian in the waist, and half of his body immediately went numb.

The empress didn"t want to be seen by anyone while her tooth was being extracted.

After Ren Baqian left the room, the door was shut from the inside.

The empress laid on the bed inside the room, and she found it a little difficult to adapt to the bright light that shone on her face.

"Relax, we"re only extracting one tooth." The old lady smiled. She knew that the person in front of her had a special ident.i.ty or else they wouldn"t have contacted her.

However, no matter how special she was, what had to be done, had to be done.

Having over 40 years of experience in her trade, tooth extraction to her couldn"t be any simpler. It would be over in just a few minutes.

However, she was faced with a problem at just the first step.

"What"s this?" the empress asked as the old lady took out a syringe.

"This is anaesthetic. You will no longer feel pain after a jab of this."

With a light heart, the old dentist poked the needle into the empress"s gums. She applied force, then even more force. The dentist was almost sweating, and what got her stupefied was that the needle couldn"t even penetrate her patient"s gums.

Kah. With a light snap, the old lady"s hand shook, and the broken needle jabbed straight in.

"I"m done for." The old dentist was startled. With such a forceful jab, she was afraid that it might even pierce through the empress"s gums.

However, what the old lady didn"t expect was that even with such a forceful jab, there wasn"t a single scratch on the epidermis of the empress"s mouth.

The empress shut her eyes and knitted her brows. Her killing intent was permeating the entire place, and with great difficulty, she resisted smacking the old lady to death.

Simply from using so much force and jabbing the empress in the mouth, the old lady should have already been smacked to death even if it hadn"t actually hurt the empress at all.

"My apologies, the needle broke." The old dentist wiped away the sweat on her head. Before she could even use a pair of tweezers to remove the broken needle from the empress"s mouth, the empress immediately spat it out. The needle tip shot out and stuck to the ceiling.

After that, the old dentist tried all sorts of methods, but she still wasn"t able to inject the empress with the anaesthetic.

The empress started feeling a little impatient.

Opening her mouth and allowing someone to fool around with her teeth was something that she felt was very humiliating and demeaning of her status as an empress. Besides, the old lady took so long.

The old dentist felt odd.

What kind of person is this girl?

Her gums are like steel. Even needles can"t penetrate it.

Just what kind of a person is she?

She started to worry if this tooth was even extractable.

She was in shock.

"Shall I try to extract your tooth without the use of anaesthetic?" the dentist cautiously asked after pondering for some time.

She felt as if she had come in contact with something impressive. How was this person in front of her even human. She was basically a monster cloaked in human skin.

"Forget it. You tell me the location, and I"ll do it myself." The empress sat up and seemed to have understood. The dentist was probably incapable of extracting her tooth because the dentist"s strength was too low and on the level of ants.

The dentist got even more puzzled. A patient came to her, but she couldn"t do anything for the patient. Furthermore, the patient even had to do the extraction on her own. If this news was spread out, the dentist"s reputation would hit rock bottom.

Yet, she indeed wasn"t capable of extracting that tooth.

On the contrary, the empress hoped that the dentist would allow her to do the tooth extraction herself. She didn"t want the dentist to do it anymore since it seemed as though the dentist didn"t dare to.

After that, under the direction of the dentist, the empress stuck her fingers into her mouth to locate the wisdom tooth that had just emerged. With a forceful pinch on her gums, the empress extracted the tooth.

It was simple and rough, but the aftermath was pretty disastrous. That area of her gums had almost been pinched to smithereens, and her entire mouth was filled with blood.

However, the empress didn"t really seem bothered by it. Instead, she sized up the wisdom tooth in her hands, tossed it into her mouth, and swallowed it.

This tooth was in fact one of the toughest parts of her body. How could she possible just throw it away?

The dentist stood to the side as she watched the empress"s series of movements, and she stared so hard that her eyeb.a.l.l.s almost fell out.

The patient had actually extracted a tooth that was barely budding out from her gums with her bare hands. How did she do this?

Even if the dentist were to do it, she would have to dislodge the tooth from the gums and loosen it before extracting.

When Ren Baqian heard the door open, he went forward to the door and saw the empress walk out.

"How is it? Was the tooth extracted?" This was what Ren Baqian was most worried about. He somehow felt that the empress"s tooth wasn"t easily extractable. However, under the circ.u.mstances, there weren"t any other options, so he could only give it a try.

"Let"s go," the empress replied. The blood in her mouth made her oral cavity appeared even more red. She was still feeling a little under the weather because she felt pretty sorry about that tooth.

"Why is there so much blood?" Ren Baqian was surprised, and his tone grew a little more hostile.

Killing intent permeated through the air.

After having killed so many people in the other world, even though his killing intent wasn"t that strong compared to the empress and some of the other aboriginal warriors, it was much stronger than most people on Earth.

The mood outside the room settled down after a short while.

"No worries. She couldn"t do it, so I did it myself," the empress briefly explained and walked out without even turning her head around. She was still feeling pretty regretful toward that tooth.

"Oh." Ren Baqian"s killing intent also dissipated. With both hands in his pockets, he followed behind the empress unhurriedly.

Yang Sen only felt relieved after Ren Baqian left.

He was actually worried that something bad might have happened just now.

Then, a party of people hurriedly entered the room to find out about the situation.

After coming to know that even a needle wasn"t able to penetrate the empress"s gums and that she eventually used her bare hands to pinch that wisdom tooth out, everyone was a little surprised.

A physique like the empress"s was indeed too strong.

Knowing that empress was very strong and fast, they a.s.sumed that her physical body would be very tough as well. It was only now, however, that they realized she was in fact much stronger than what they had imagined.

Everyone was in high spirits. The fact that the empress was so strong proved that with training, the people on Earth were able to attain such strength as well.

However, they didn"t manage to obtain her tooth or her blood, which was what they had come here for.

Regardless of whether it was her blood or her tooth, all of it had been swallowed by the empress. Nothing was left behind.

…

"I want to eat ice cream," the empress said as she sat on the sofa without taking her eyes off of the television.

"Your Majesty, are you still feeling any discomfort in your mouth?" This was their third day on Earth.

"No problem. Just bring me the ice cream. I want qiaolezi." The empress called attention to that.

After a while, the empress held a stick of ice cream and devoured it in just a few mouthfuls.

"Bring me a few more!"

"Bring me one more!"

"I still want more!"

Ren Baqian was speechless.

There was already a row of ice cream sticks on the coffee table.

Are you intending to make up for those few days that you had to go without desserts?

Nonetheless, Ren Baqian had finally been able to ascertain something, which was the fact that the empress had recovered.

On that same evening, Ren Baqian returned to Dayao. He then started the process of making cotton candy and instructed the others to hang sweets up on the candy tree. Meanwhile, the empress held a pair of extra long shears that she used to cut down those sweets. Her eyes were bright and full of emotion.

A week later, a party of bodyguards escorted the empress out of Lan City and raced toward the south during the wee hours.

Besides the empress, Ren Baqian, and many bodyguards, there were also over 40 students from the Black Bamboo Academy. Apart from that, there were also a handful of officials from various departments that made up a majestic party of about 500 people in total.

Even though the objective this time was to resolve the problems in the south, there were also quite a number of other things that had to be done as well.

With the empress out on an inspection tour, she saw many pedestrians along the way who stopped in their tracks on both sides of the road and welcomingly gazed at her. There wasn"t much reverence in their gazes, but they were all full of respect.

The one regretful thing for them was that they were unable to see the empress"s true appearance.

At present, inside the imperial carriage that everyone was staring at, Ren Baqian was sitting across from the empress. They were facing each other while Qing Yuan and Hong Luan stood behind the empress.

Ren Baqian was deep in his thoughts as he looked at the two cards that the empress was holding. He looked at the expression of the trio and continued pondering. After some time, he drew a card from the empress"s hand and then started laughing.

He then took out a pair of queens from his hand and placed them on the floor.

"Your Majesty, you have lost again." Ren Baqian raised his eyebrows and smirked.

The empress"s eyes were wide open. She raised her eyebrows in disbelief and looked pretty unhappy.

"Your Majesty, please close your eyes." Ren Baqian smiled because it was time for the winner"s reward.

Throughout the entire day of playing Old Maid with the empress, they first drew a card to be the joker, and this would leave a cardinal number of cards in their hands. After playing all of their card pairs, the both of them would have to draw a card from the other"s remaining hand, and the person with the last card would lose.

Up until now, Ren Baqian had already won 13 times consecutively.

The empress groaned lightly and reluctantly shut her eyes. Her face was slightly red as well.

"Hehehehe!" Hearing Ren Baqian"s laughter made the empress want to slap him on the head.

Ren Baqian gently leaned over closely and looked at the empress. Her face was full of heroic spirit, and her heart was highly pa.s.sionate.

Even in their dreams, such a sight was something that countless people yearned for.

As Ren Baqian drew closer to the empress"s face, she could already feel his breath.

Qing Yuan and Hong Luan turned their heads and looked away, acting as if they were looking for something.

Ren Baqian"s detestable laughter had finally stopped as well.

Like how one couldn"t cover one"s ears in time when thunder pealed, Ren Baqian stuck a piece of paper on the empress"s forehead… On this paper was a tortoise that was crookedly drawn.

"Oh yeah!"
