The empress glanced at him, extended her hand, and grabbed him. The next moment, Ren Baqian was sent flying toward the pool.
"I don't feel warm in this weather. You can go into the pool alone," the empress said unenthusiastically before going upstairs to change.
The empress was well aware of Ren Baqian's intentions. She had been to the beach before and even though she didn't mind, she was still a little shy about swimming.
Plop!When Ren Baqian fell into the pool, he began to panic because he didn't know how to swim.
Splash splash… He swallowed big gulps of water. With great difficulty, he finally stabilized himself and stood up, only to realize that the water was at his chest level.
After all, the depth of the pool was only about 1.4 meters. After climbing out of the pool, Ren Baqian laid at the edge of the pool and, just like a fountain, spurted out a stream of water. Finally, he was revived. He knew that he had to learn how to swim sooner or later.
If a Man Wheel expert like him were to drown in a 1.4 meter deep pool, that would be a huge tragedy.
He took a towel from the side and wiped his head. Then, in his soaked clothes, he went back to his room to change.
After changing into a set of new clothes, he heard the sound of the television. When he went downstairs, he discovered that the empress was already sitting on the sofa and eating ice cream.
"Do you want to go out for a ride?" Ren Baqian sat beside her and asked. "It's been tough on you these days."
"Sure!" The empress cheerfully nodded.
She had really been bored in Ping City these past few days, and it was good for her to take a breather outside.
Ren Baqian drove down the mountain and idly talked about how he felt a few days ago, "It seemed like there was something disrupting my thoughts. I kept wanting to kill a certain person. Furthermore, all sorts of thoughts emerged in my mind. I'm uncertain if it's the metal chain's problem or if it is something else that is affecting me."
He didn't mention Qi Jiayu, the woman that looked exactly like the empress. Ren Baqian only wanted to hear the empress's opinion regarding this issue.
Even though the aboriginals weren't proficient in reading minds, with the empress's ability, she should more or less be able to do so.
It seemed as if the metal chain would emerge from Ren Baqian's head whenever someone shouted for it.
The empress grabbed the metal chain that had just emerged from Ren Baqian's head and was about to twist it into an S shape. She delicately sensed the metal chain and said doubtfully, "This thing shouldn't affect you in any way."
"In addition, there's nothing else in your soul other than this metal chain." The empress fiddled with the metal chain in her hands and wrapped it a few times around her palm. Even though the metal chain wanted to escape, it couldn't do so. "As it turns out, Your Majesty is proficient in this aspect!" After listening to what the empress said, Ren Baqian felt that what the empress knew was far more than what he had expected.
"I don't know much, but there's a fraction of my soul in your body. If there is a situation, I can definitely detect it," the empress said faintly. When Ren Baqian heard what the empress said, he subconsciously stepped on the brakes, nearly causing the car behind him to crash into his car. The other driver was hopping mad and held down his car horn as he cursed and swore.
"There's a fraction of your soul in my body?" Ren Baqian was stupefied.
"Back then, I thought that if you ever let me down, you wouldn't be able to escape no matter where you went," the empress said in a dull tone. "If you never let me down and got killed by someone, this fraction of my soul would pester that person, and even if he or she was at the other end of the world, I would still be able to kill him or her."
Ren Baqian widened his eyes.
Holy c.r.a.p. When did this happen? There's actually such a dangerous thing in my body?
"It usually has no effect on you. It was done a long time ago." The empress turned her head and didn't look at him. Ren Baqian's mouth was wide open, but he didn't know what to say.
Could it be that the empress was afraid that I would run away in the past?
Otherwise, why would she be bothered to do such a thing?
If I am in Lan City, the empress can crush me to death with just one finger.
"Why would I ever let you down!" Ultimately, Ren Baqian spoke in a gentle tone and continued, "Knowing you is something arranged by Heaven, which has the highest authority. Moreover, you are the only treasure between heaven and earth. To be able to have you as my partner, I have nothing more to ask for in this life." The empress's ears turned hot when she heard this. She was so elated that her fingertips began to subconsciously poke at the car door…
From the inside, the empress's finger pierced through the outside of the car door as if she were poking a piece of paper… The driver of the car next to them couldn't believe his eyes.
Ren Baqian continued to drive forward. He then asked, "Is dividing a fraction of your soul easy? Are there no effects on you?"
"It's very painful!" the empress said cooly.
If the empress said that it was painful, it must be really painful, similar to tearing herself apart.
However, she hadn't expected it to hurt so much.
Otherwise, she might have hesitated.
This was a secret technique that originated from the aboriginal tribes. An expert at the Cardinal Heaven level could perform it, but only once. When this expert attained the Longevity Heaven level, he or she would then be able to divide his or her soul for the second time. However, whenever an expert's soul was in the process of being divided, he or she would experience pain equivalent to tearing a person apart. As a result, it was rarely used. Now, Ren Baqian knew why he had the urge to kill Qi Jiayu when he saw her.
As for why those thoughts emerged, perhaps he was affected by that fraction of the empress's soul.
This was similar to his own reaction upon meeting the Seventh Prince for the first time.
When this fraction of the empress's soul saw Qi Jiayu, it also generated this same reaction.
According to what he thought, this was a divided soul after all, and it was different from himself. Therefore, when killing intent arose, it evoked all kinds of thoughts in his mind. Ren Baqian didn't mention this matter again.
He was sincerely fond of the empress.
To have such a woman and to spend a lifetime with her, he was content. At this moment, Ren Baqian concluded that he wouldn't let the empress down in any way. Naturally, he would pay no attention to the fraction of the empress's soul in his body.
"Can you sense what the fraction of your soul saw?" All of a sudden, Ren Baqian recalled something.
"I am unable to do this. Since this fraction of my soul has already left my body, I can at most locate its position."
"Oh!" Ren Baqian heaved a sigh of relief since his privacy could still be maintained. In the future, just in case he went for a "dirty ma.s.sage," he would be hanged in the city and turned into bacon after he returned to the other world if the empress could pry into his soul.
Ren Baqian decided to put aside Qi Jiayu's matter for now as he didn't know how he should handle it. Although he knew that he was affected by that fraction of her soul, the influence was already present. Such thoughts had surfaced in his mind before and had already left behind a trace.
Thus, he still somehow couldn't take his mind off of that Qi Jiayu.
However, this matter would be considered later.Over the next two days, the both of them had nothing to do and roamed around Shanghai, looking at the dresses and shoes of various shops… For the empress, buying dresses had always been something that she liked to do. Three days later, the two of them returned to Dayao with a pile of white boxes.Another day had pa.s.sed, and it was the first glimmer of light. From the entrance of Hong Wu's residence all the way to Ping City's south gate, the entire road was blanketed in layers of mist. People walking on the path felt as if they were walking on clouds.
It was a road covered by mist.
Everyone who woke up early and saw this scene was amazed. They didn't know what was going on, but they stopped on both sides of the road, obstructing other people from walking through. A few of them even tried to scoop some mist into their hands, but to no avail.
The dense mist on the ground completely lacked any shape at all.
After looking closely, people realized that there were a few burly men, each holding a weird thing and standing on both sides of the road. Mist was emitted from the front of these weird things.
As those weird things began projecting multicolored lights, the mist became colorful as well. "Only this rainbow mist road can match up to Your Majesty." Ren Baqian stood outside Hong Wu's residence and gently bowed with one arm pointing outside.
At this time, looking from the inside, it seemed as if there was a layer of colorful clouds on the ground outside. The smoke slowly rose and dissipated, just like paradise. Looking at the marvellous sight in front of her, the empress's eyes glowed.
Although she had pictured many a time how Ren Baqian's rainbow clouds would look, never had she expected that it would be a road paved by colorful mist.
No female in this world would be unaffected by a scene like this.
It was a huge surprise!
Ren Baqian stepped forward, held the empress's fingertips and led her outside.
When they stepped into the mist, they were able to feel that the temperature inside was much cooler than anywhere else.
However, this made it even more realistic.
Ren Baqian led the empress as the both of them walked on this misty road toward the south gate.
As the two of them walked ahead, the burly men behind them turned off the mist machine. It didn't take long before the mist on the ground dissipated, exposing the road which was laid with flagstones.
From a distance, it seemed as if this road composed of clouds was only prepared for both Ren Baqian and the empress. As they went forward and the mist began to dissipate, this misty road also began to shorten.
"Quick, come out and see the immortals!"
"What immortals? Where are the immortals?" Many people who were affected by the noise outside pushed open their windows and looked out. They saw a road that was paved with mist as well as the two people walking on it. All of a sudden, they couldn't speak.
The empress's eyes were constantly flas.h.i.+ng as she walked on the misty road from the start to the end. She was pleasantly surprised.
She had been smiling since the beginning.
As they approached the city gate, they turned back to look. The mist behind them had begun to dissipate.
Hong Wu and the others were also rus.h.i.+ng over toward them.
Ren Baqian took the lead and gently planted his lips on the empress's lips.
The empress looked at him with twinkling eyes, as if there was something surging in her vision.
It was rare for her not to dodge his kiss. This soft sensation and faint fragrance stirred Ren Baqian's emotions.
It was a pity that the time and place were not right; otherwise, Ren Baqian really wanted things to continue this way.A man and a woman gently kissing at the city gate.
The surrounding guards were extremely hurt and looked up at the sky. Hong Wu's eyes widened in anger as his gaze, which was as sharp as a knife, landed on Ren Baqian.
