The Empress's Gigolo

Chapter 450: Black History

The change in direction of Qingyun Sword’s sword seemed to span the space-time continuum and appeared in front of Xi Wanya within a fraction of a second.

Clang!

Xi Wanya parried the longsword with his long saber, but it was like an invisible hand was controlling the longsword. The longsword simply twisted away to counter attack Xi Wanya and an array of silver flowers formed in midair.

Xi Wanya held the handle of his saber. Once again, a brilliant ray of light flashed across, and the silver flowers disappeared instantly.

Only Xi Wanya, with his hand holding the saber behind him, descended from the top of the city wall.

“You are here at the right time! I don’t believe that you are better than Qi Zixiao.” A voice rang out and a person wielding a spear sprang up like a long dragon into the sky.

Sounds from a series of weapons clashing into one another ensued in midair. A person was smashed down to the ground, causing a big hole to appear.

Xi Wanya was impacted by the collision of the two, and the face of this renowned dictator turned as black as charcoal.

Although the strength of that person wasn’t bad, the main point wasn’t the strength, but… he was simply too smelly.

It was so smelly and unbearable that he felt like cursing out loud.

He even wondered whether this person had spent a day in a cesspit just to disgust him.

Was this a characteristic of the Spirit Wheel experts in Tianjing Basin?

As he dropped to the ground, another two Spirit Wheel experts came up.

Then, as the smell continued to assail his nose, Xi Wanya’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He could resist thinking about venting his frustrations out on someone.

Meanwhile, the Assistant Protector General of the South and another commander started to curse just when they began to fight against the enemy.

“Did you fall into a cesspit? Are you trying to kill me with the smell?”

Upon hearing this, an idea flashed in Xi Wanya’s head. Were these Spirit Wheel experts from Tianjing Basin using this as a way to get enough courage to fight with him? First of all, they made themselves smell bad. Thereafter, they would get accustomed to the stench and fight with their opponents, reducing the amount of effort they initially required.

“As despicable as vermin and rubbish. Do you think this will stop my army?” Xi Wanya said with disdain.

“Even if you use such a despicable trick, my aboriginal army will despise you instead of flinching!” Xi Wanya’s voice resonated in midair.

“The stench is killing us!” another two people were loudly and continuously cursing.

Everyone in Tianjing Basin was stamping their feet and feeling enraged by the loud scolding from Xi Wanya.

This was obviously the fault of that rascal on your side!

…

Qing Yuan and Hong Luan were left behind on Earth because they would have to flee for their lives if things didn’t turn out well upon their return. Their absence would be one less burden.

Ren Baqian landed on the hard ground and realized they were back in Tianjin Basin after seeing the change in scenery.

There were about 10 plus people in the distant forest, which was much less than the few hundred that were gathered here before they left.

“Well, there are indeed still some people left. You will be my first target!” The muffled voice of the empress came through her gas mask. Her eyes were fixed on a dwarf who was standing on a stone in the distance.

Before her words faded away, the empress appeared in midair, and a resounding crack filled the air as she launched a punch.

The figure unexpectedly moved further away in a flash as he had no intention of engaging the empress in a fight.

“As timid as a mouse!” the empress said coldly.

The dwarf wasn’t angry, grinning at the empress before looking keenly at Ren Baqian and saying, “I will skin you and soak it in the toilet.”

“Come over here!” Ren Baqian waved the smoke grenade in defiance. It wasn’t any different from a suicidal terrorist holding a bag of grenades.

At worst, they would perish together!

Lin Qiaole looked at Ren Baqian with tears in her eyes. It was getting better and the smell was milder after five days on Earth. However, as soon as she returned, the strong stench made her ill again.

The dwarf felt disgusted by that thing even though it was quite harmless.

The empress moved quietly and got closer to the dwarf with a few steps. She was preparing to launch an attack

That dwarf didn’t pick a fight, but kept on running away. Using just a few movements, he managed to flee to the forest. All of a sudden, crashing noises could be heard from within.

Large tracts of trees came crashing down, and a few hapless Earth Wheel experts were like fish in a barrel. With each punch from the empress, their bones were crushed as they fell to the ground.

After a moment, almost half the forest had been demolished, but she did not manage to catch up with the dwarf.

After all, her present strength had decreased and that guy was very speedy. Even though her skills were originally superior to his, she was helpless now.

Seeing no progress, the empress returned to Ren Baqian’s side and asked, “Where should we go next?”

“There is nobody left. I don’t know if this is because Protector General Xi is already here,” Ren Baqian said. While they were on Earth, he had already told the empress about sending a letter to Xi Wanya.

“We might as well take a look from above,” Ren Baqian said. They were halfway up the mountain, and the forest below blocked the view of the path to Wu City.

After speaking, Ren Baqian felt his collar being lifted and was unable to open his eyes due to the fierce wind blowing on his face.

This was really a tragedy.

Ren Baqian felt that this was definitely black history and that whoever recorded it in the historical annals would not be spared even if the previous emperor were to be resurrected and tried to save this particular person.[Black history: a bad past that someone doesn’t want to talk about/recall anymore]

Especially if they dared to write it into history as, “On a certain day, the empress arrived at the peak of Mount Wu, watching the world like how she would examine her palm print. Her body odor spread with the wind and caused people to pinch their noses…”

The empress would incarcerate this historian in a toilet for 10 thousand years.

When talking about a ruler, especially someone like the empress, they would always smell good, and their scent would be as refreshing as the spring breeze.

Speaking of the empress, she usually did smell very good, her body exuding a light and pleasant scent…

It was a pity to have to perish together with the enemy.

The view from such a height in this world was unpolluted. Also, the visibility was very good and the view unobstructed.

Ren Baqian saw a black spot outside of Wu City with just a glance.

It was a black spot from where he was, but it should be a very big group of people when getting closer.

“That should be Protector General Xi coming to attack Wu City,” Ren Baqian said after pondering for a while.

It was good that Xi Wanya came earlier than he expected. They must have put in extra effort to arrive here so quickly.

After hearing that Xi Wanya was here, the empress nodded her head slightly in acknowledgement.

At least they didn’t need to use that thing, which was a relief to her.

It was fine if used against the enemy, but her own troops and commanders were there too.

To the empress, there was almost nothing worse than that smell.

Not even death.

“Your Majesty, let’s regroup with Protector General Xi and take this opportunity to capture all the experts here in one fell swoop. We will be able to bring stability to Tianjing Basin,” Ren Baqian said. After speaking, he put a small bottle in his hand.

“Your Majesty, this thing is called a perfume. It would not have been of much use if used earlier, but after five days, the odor has diminished and using this aroma will at least cover the stench. I have spent heavily to get this made, and it will change the previous smell into another kind of fragrance.”

Ren Baqian only learned about the interesting aspects of the sense of smell after this experience. He now knew that good and bad smells weren’t absolute. For example, the smell of sh*t after diluting it was actually a scent similar to jasmine flower…

This bottle was blended based on this principle; the faint stench from one’s body would interact with this perfume to form a type of jasmine fragrance.

Of course, to get this sort of thing in such a short amount of time, Ren Baqian was required to pay a hefty price.

It took eight million, many top perfumers working around the clock, and countless attempts before they finally came up with the right formula.

The empress was overjoyed to hear this news because she had been hesitating and feeling very embarrassed to meet her soldiers and commanders due to this damn smell.

Ren Baqian was really considerate.

The empress then gave him an appreciative look.
