The Empress Is Gigolo 712 Good Cop, Bad Cop

Holding his body firm and steady, he spread open his arms, did a backflip, and descended from the tree. A spear appeared in his hand in midair and immediately pierced into the gigantic single-horned leopard below.

This leopard had been searching for Ren Baqian, but it seemed to have lost track of him. A crafty and ruthless look appeared in its eyes as it immediately turned around and climbed about six meters up a tree. It then leaped into the air and pounced toward Ren Baqian in midair.

Smack.

The leopard's front paws swatted at Ren Baqian's spear. It then stretched open its mouth full of sharp fangs and went straight for his throat.

If Ren Baqian hadn't avoided it in time, this strike would have ripped his entire head off.

When Ren Baqian smelled the stench from that gigantic leopard's mouth, it made him subconsciously want to cover his nose.

At this point in time, a metal chain suddenly appeared above his head and attached itself to one of the leopard's eye. This strike came too suddenly, and the leopard's eye instantly got torn apart. It immediately let out a miserable shriek as its body twisted up and landed on the ground. Next, it went into a frenzy. It gave Ren Baqian a ruthless and resentful stare.

An injured beast was even more dangerous.

Ren Baqian's hands periodically relaxed and grabbed the handle of the spear. He lowered his body and felt that a beast was much harder to handle than a human.

This beast was called a luoweng. Beasts like this weren't easy to deal with because they had very high strength and alertness.

The only valuable thing it had was the horn on its head. When one blew into it, the sound could travel several kilometers.

Ren Baqian had seen the horn of a 100 year old luoweng before.

The beast in front of him was only around 60 years old, yet it was already very difficult to deal with. There was no telling what it would be like with a 100 year old luoweng.

Roar! The gigantic leopard let out a roar before slowly retreating.

Ren Baqian had originally heightened his alertness, but began to laugh involuntarily after seeing its reaction. This was somewhat similar to how a human would react—asking him to watch out!

Once the luoweng retreated into the darkness, he held the spear at his side and stood there for a few minutes before he turned around and left.

However, after only taking a few steps away, a rustling sound was heard from the bushes beside him. An enormous leopard pounced over from the darkness with its mouth wide open.

"What a crafty beast! So spiteful!" Ren Baqian cursed. With a shuffle of his feet, he appeared beside the luoweng. A spear suddenly appeared in his hands. He pierced its body and slashed it across, leaving a trail of blood on the beast's body.

At the same time, the luoweng's tail suddenly swung over like a whip with a wind-piercing sound.

Ren Baqian whipped out his metal chain to deflect the tail of the beast, which ended up tangling them together.

The luoweng had gotten itself into trouble. Its tail became like a string, and furthermore, it was in the hands of Ren Baqian.

The beast turned around as it landed on the ground. Ren Baqian leaped into the air and made use of the momentum of the beast's movement to pounce behind it. He struck his spear at it in midair. The luoweng tried to dodge the attack, but the spear slashed across its body once again. It then pounced forward in an attempt to widen its distance from him.

Unfortunately, Ren Baqian was still holding the metal chain. How fast could it move with such a burden tied to it? It was suffering excruciating pain from its tail, but it was undoubtedly still a beast and that pain made it run even faster.

Ren Baqian quickly shuffled his feet and ran along with the beast like it was a kite. Seeing that it was about to leap into the shrubs, his spear shot out like lightning and immediately pierced through its a.n.u.s.

"Raaawr!" The luoweng let out a piercing shriek.

Ren Baqian felt a little disgusted as he pulled his spear out. He cut off the beast's horn, pinched his nose as he held the spear as far away from himself as he could, and looked for water to wash it clean.

Throughout his journey, he would often enter the forest to hunt like this. His spearmanship as well as the a.s.sa.s.sination technique that he had learned earlier at the base had both greatly improved. His self-defense capability had also improved as well.

If he continued like this with the empress's support, he would definitely become a top-notch expert in the time to come.

Over the next few days, his a.s.sa.s.sination technique leveled up again.

It was only level one back on Earth and had now improved to level two.

Ren Baqian felt that he could probably be nicknamed the King of Perpetual Darkness if he continued what he was doing.

After all, fighting and killing were not things that he enjoyed doing.

Now that he was able to defend himself, it was about sufficient.

The spear returned to his consciousness after Ren Baqian washed it clean. Then, he ran out of the forest holding the luoweng's horn.

The other winged cavalry warriors had already returned with their prey. The light from the bonfire in the camp shone brightly in the distance, and he could already smell the fragrance of barbequed meat before even stepping close to the camp.

The imperial kitchen's chef had been incessantly experimenting with his cooking after obtaining seasonings, and at present, his barbequed meat tasted much better than Ren Baqian's cooking.

However, Ren Baqian would still cook the barbeque himself and eat it with the empress during his free time, so it didn't really matter whether it tasted good or not.

It was just like how receiving a handwritten letter always felt different in the era of computers.

Ren Baqian tossed the luoweng's horn into the carriage and walked back toward the empress.

"Feeling bored?" the empress casually asked upon seeing his expression.

"Yeah, it was a pretty fresh experience for a few days. The excitement has pa.s.sed, and I don't want to do this unnecessarily anymore." Ren Baqian burst into laughter.

The empress served a plate of the barbequed meat to Ren Baqian, combed her hair, and said, "It's good to do some hunting occasionally. Besides, there are people watching over you, so nothing will happen to you. You can also take this opportunity to train. Progress will only be fast if you're constantly fighting."

"With Your Majesty around, is there a need for me to progress so quickly?" Ren Baqian was evidently being shameless.

In any case, he had always been shameless.

His fiancee was already so powerful, so why did he have to train so hard?

"You!" The empress stretched out her finger and pointed at him, feeling a little helpless.

She had thought that Ren Baqian had changed after seeing him go hunting in the woods during his leisure time.

She actually felt pretty happy about this.

In the end, he managed to recover to his original state after just a few days.

"I'll follow you and take a look when you return to Earth later." The empress stopped mentioning the previous matter and changed the subject. She had previously heard that Ren Baqian was going to see an old man who was one of his nation's leaders.

"You said that you weren't interested just two days ago, Your Majesty," Ren Baqian said with a smile on his face.

"I have changed my mind. You just got out of trouble and someone wants to see you immediately, so I'm afraid that something may happen.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Besides, you were born and raised there. As a result, there are bound to be some sentiments and restrictions. If someone pressures you with righteousness and such, you'll be at a disadvantage if you aren't in the right state of mind at that time.

I can follow you there and hear what they have to say.

If they say things that I don't agree with, I will have a falling out with them. If someone provokes me, I will kill them.

You feel apprehension about those 1,000 warriors, but I don't. I shall be frank and upright and will tell them about it. I have already made up my mind, and their objections are worthless."

Ren Baqian kept silent for a moment. The empress's words were very overbearing, but that was only because she was afraid that he would run into danger over there.

He then laughed and asked, "Are you playing the role of bad cop, Your Majesty?"

"Good cop/bad cop is the Earth's way of describing things. If things go well, I will simply play the role of good cop. If things don't turn out well, I will put them through an experience," the empress replied faintly.

An experience that would show what kind of person the fourth strongest expert Qi Zixiao was really like.

"Don't feel that this is inappropriate. We leave them with a strong impression now and let them feel some unease. It's better than having them fall out with us and become our enemies," the empress added.

Ren Baqian laughed freely and said, "Is this considered teaming up as a couple? One playing the role of good cop while the other plays bad cop. This seems pretty dependable. Your Majesty is right. It's better to make things clear now than to fall out in the future and become enemies."

"It's good that you can understand this. I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable, so that's why I didn't get involved. However, you ran into such danger this time around and I'm afraid that you will again in the future. We can't just let it be anymore." The empress smiled when she saw Ren Baqian smile. Her eyes were soft and glistening as her voice became more gentle.

"1,000 Kismet Heaven experts!" Ren Baqian sighed. 1,000 Kismet Heaven experts could even take down a 100,000 man army.

"If you require, I can provide even more," the empress replied indistinctly. "The only problem lies in the food. It's fortunate that even though there's only a very small amount in your foods that can be converted into essence qi, there are large quant.i.ties of them in lots of varieties. They will be able to eat without restriction."

"If not for their insatiable appet.i.te, the winged cavalry wouldn't only have 1,500 men."
