The Empress Is Gigolo 432 Not A Human

Two hours later, Ren Baqian and Lin Qiaole were sitting in front of a bonfire. Ren Baqian had attached the jiexue's head to a stick and was roasting it. Lin Qiaole was drooling so much that it dripped down her chin, neck, collarbone, and even flowed to the ground. Her eyes were sluggish as she drooled from her mouth. She looked as if she were a mentally r.e.t.a.r.ded kid.However, whenever the eyes on the head began to turn, she would slap the top of it before reverting to her previous state.The old man was sitting not that far away, and a sad feeling arose from the bottom of his heart.

A little girl who looked mentally handicapped was the cause of the scratches on his face.Sitting on the steps next to him was Zhan Caixian, who had one hand on her chin while she looked at the head of the fierce beast being roasted."Why is this thing still not cooked?" Ren Baqian's hands were getting sore. He had been roasting it for more than an hour, but there was no sign of it getting cooked."If it was so easy, I wouldn't have kept it here for decades. Judging from the way you are roasting it, don't hope to finish cooking it in this lifetime." The old man heard Ren Baqian's doubt and immediately raised his head to adopt the posture of an advisor giving some pointers."In that case, how should I do it?" Ren Baqian asked unabashedly.

"If it was alive, anything you try wouldn't work. However, it is long dead, just that it is only dead and not stiff yet. Just use juice from the Three-way flower to marinate it for three days. After that, use Phoenix Chest's wood to start a fire and you should be able to cook it," the old man instructed."If that doesn't work, can it be eaten raw?" Ren Baqian considered it troublesome and turned to ask Lin Qiaole.Lin Qiaole pursed her lips. She felt that it would be nicer to eat when cooked, but then again, she didn't want to wait too long. The sight of this thing had strongly fired up her appet.i.te. Not to mention three days, in one more day, her saliva would have flooded the entire village."Village head grandfather, can the Three-way flower and Phoenix Chest's wood that you mentioned be found over here?" Zhan Caixian asked the old man beside her."These things cannot be found here, they can only be found deep inside the Sixty Thousand Mountains. It would take two or three years to find them. It would be too tough to bite if eaten raw. Back then, when we killed this thing, my teacher also expended a lot of effort," said the old man as he shook his head.After hearing this, Lin Qiaole didn't hesitate anymore. She took the jiexue's head out of the fire, started gnawing, and made noises that sounded the same as chewing on wood. When Ren Baqian heard her chew, he even felt that his own teeth were aching."Roar!" A roar filled everybody's mind, as if the jiexue's head was roaring with unwillingness.Lin Qiaole gave the head a backhanded slap and continued to gnaw.

The old man was smiling slightly and calmly watched Lin Qiaole bite the jiexue's head. It was as if he knew that the end result would be failure.Regardless of what ended up happening, at least he had exacted some revenge.Then, he helplessly saw Lin Qiaole biting off a piece of the skin from the jiexue's head…"Shucks, how is this possible?" The old man eyes widened because his teacher had told him about the characteristics of this jiexue. It was said to be impenetrable by spears and knives, impervious to fire and water, and difficult to injure due to its great strength.Even his teacher spent a lot of effort before he was able to kill this jiexue. After so many years, he still was unable to handle the head of this jiexue. His Qingyun Sword was a precious sword that could cut through iron like mud, but it only emitted sparks when trying to cut the head.Yet, this little girl was able to bite through? Were her teeth sharper than his Qingyun Sword?Subsequently, the old man focused sharply and stared closely at Lin Qiaole.Ren Baqian was instantly put on alert."As expected, you aren't a human! Initially, I thought you had cultivated a special type of martial art, but as it turns out, you are actually not a human," the old man said coldly after staring at her for a while.

"What do you mean?" Ren Baqian was shocked by his expression."Don't pretend to be confused!" the old man said coldly. He stared at Lin Qiaole and then heaved a sigh, saying, "Let it be. I cannot take care of everything.""Senior, what are you trying to say? Your junior doesn't understand," Ren Baqian said. He was also hoping to get some information about Lin Qiaole's origins. "It is useless to say any more. Good luck to you." The old man refused to speak further. Although he kept quiet, his expression was growing colder.Ren Baqian was aware that the old man certainly knew something, but seeing his refusal to answer, he wondered how he could make this old man talk.In fact, the old village head didn't know much. Back in the day, his teacher had just managed to make a breakthrough and attain the Spirit Wheel level before heading to the Sixty Thousand Mountains. Not long after, he came back seriously injured. Before he died, his master told him not to go deep into the Sixty Thousand Mountains unless he attained power that was far superior to what his master had achieved. In addition, he was told to be careful of those who looked like a human, but were not humans.Previously, he didn't understand what his teacher meant. After seeing Lin Qiaole, however, he suddenly remembered what his teacher told him.This matter concerned the death of his master, so he naturally wanted to know more about it. However, there was a war with the aboriginals hanging over his head, and he was forced to repress this thought. He made the decision to capture this girl at any cost after the war so that he could ask her about what was deep inside the Sixty Thousand Mountains. "Tell me your reason for this trip." The old man calmed down and raised his head to ask Ren Baqian after some time.In accordance with what he had said in the Golden Ring Residence previously, Ren Baqian repeated his story."I have three requests. The first is to strengthen your attack and attract the attention of the aboriginals. The second request is regarding the lack of weapons. Finally, the last request is for her to join us in combat," the old man said while pointing at Lin Qiaole.The old man didn't wait for Ren Baqaian to ask and continued explaining, "Xi Wanya isn't easy to deal with, and no one will be a match for an expert of his level on a one to one basis. Her skills aren't bad, and she should be able to delay Xi Wanya for a period of time. In the meanwhile, we can surround and kill the other two Cardinal Heaven experts in the army.""I can promise you the first and third requests. The second one is problematic because it isn't easy to transport weapons from the Yun Nation at the moment due to the ongoing war. To move a large amount of weapons requires manpower and resources, and such a mobilization will easily be discovered," said Ren Baqian after further thought."That's your problem. After all, if you fight against the aboriginals yourself, you will not last long, and it's important not to repeat the mistakes of the past. If you want us to risk our lives, you need to provide something," the old man said coldly.Ren Baqian questioned him back, "Didn't Great Xia send their people? Where are they? What conditions did they give you? Furthermore, if you don't have our help, you won't be able to do anything yourselves.""We can wait until they attack w.a.n.g Jing and engage the enemy before taking action. The pressure we would face at that point will be about the same as taking action now," the old man replied."With regard to Great Xia, that matter is between them and us. It has nothing to do with you.""The aboriginals are training new soldiers," Ren Baqian reminded.

"Their aim is definitely to counter you."

"Well, I promise you I will think of a way to deliver the weapons within three months. Three months later, you must take action," Ren Baqian muttered. In fact, it was impossible to meet all three conditions, but he still needed to be as convincing as possible.

"That will be all then. There is an empty room in the village for you to stay in tonight," the old man said as he returned to his room.

That night, Ren Baqian and Lin Qiaole were sitting in the room, and Lin Qiaole was still gnawing on the jiexue's head. When no one else was around, she suddenly raised her head and asked, "Should I kill him? He is hostile!"

"Carry on chewing on that lion head. It isn't the right time yet." Ren Baqian waved his hands. After hearing this, he looked at Lin Qiaole, who was still chewing on the animal head, and went into a daze.

From the intense reaction of the old man, it was obvious that the girl in front of him was carrying many secrets.

They were many secrets in this world.

There were mysterious things in the slopes of the Sixty Thousand Mountains: the unknown location of Sword Mountain, the mysterious disappearance of the last two emperors, and the unknown origin of Lin Qiaole.

The things he knew about this world were rather limited, and there were a lot more mysteries to uncover.
