Chapter 618 - Let Me Take My T-Shirt Off First
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Your Majesty!” With a cast on his leg and a walking stick in one hand, Ren Baqian tried to weep but could shed no tears.
This time, Her Majesty was really cruel!
When Ren Baqian fell and his leg crashed into the barbells that those idiots used for working out.. the bones in his leg fractured.
It was practically a tragedy.
Yet, it just so happened that his leg had to smash into those barbells..
Ren Baqian was really taken away by an ambulance..
Upon seeing how miserable Ren Baqian was, her heart slightly softened. However, her pride was still more important.
As a result, she didn’t reveal her tenderness at all.
“Hmph! You deserve it!”
“Your Majesty, doesn’t your heart ache a little?”
The empress thought about it carefully and replied, “It’s aching slightly more than when I step on ants!”
Ren Baqian cried out, “Your Majesty, it’s better that you not say anything. My heart is very cold now!”
The empress rolled her eyes at him. She then placed one palm against his chest, let her gaze roam all around him, and said in a gentle voice, “Can you feel the warmth from my palm?”
Her palm was placed directly on the area where his heart was, causing Ren Baqian to feel a warm fuzzy sensation. It was as if he could feel the empress’s heartbeat through her palm.
“My t-shirt is too thick. I can’t really feel the warmth. Let me take it off first!” Ren Baqian began to use one hand to lift his T-shirt upward!
The empress raised her eyebrows, retracted her hand, and kicked Ren Baqian’s other leg, the on that was perfectly fine.
Ren Baqian nearly knelt on the floor. Sure enough, teasing someone like the empress, who was equivalent to a real-life Transformer, was certainly putting his life at risk.
However, he was deriving pleasure from this.
Ren Baqian originally wanted to make a trip to the laboratory. Unfortunately, one of his legs was injured, so he could only let Shen Feng retrieve the rubber samples and send them over. After that, Shen Feng would then send the results back.
Over time, the progress of the laboratory had seen a huge leap.
At the very least, the Messier 87 Department could use their supercomputers to test out countless possibilities for martial arts techniques that were below the Man Wheel level. The final “Ninth Set of Initial Stage Cultivation” even achieved a top-notch standard for martial arts.
However, due to the lack of samples, progress was slowed after the Man Wheel level.
He believed that it was just a matter of time.
Another important achievement was that the laboratory had made great progress regarding the reception of brain waves by studying the Elongation Saber, which could grow and shrink on its own.
With the development of this technology, perhaps humans would one day really have the possibility of doing all their work by “thinking;” things such as smart homes, weapon controls, and all devices with receivers installed that used just your “thoughts” to take action. As long as you had such thoughts in your mind, you would be able to complete the tasks that originally required your fingers or your voice.
Even though this goal was still very far away, Ren Baqian was still looking forward to it.
After staying on Earth for two and a half days, Ren Baqian and the empress brought along the rubber that had passed inspection back with them to Dayao. The first thing he did was smash his cast. After that, he applied a layer of ointment to his leg, grabbed his walking stick, and headed to the school.
When he entered the Black Bamboo Academy, he saw a woman standing in the courtyard who looked as if she was bored to death. Upon seeing Ren Baqian, she was initially dissatisfied about the fact that he had allowed her to attend class, but yet he didn’t appear.
Then, she shifted her gaze to Ren Baqian’s leg. With pursed lips and a pair of glittering eyes, she rejoiced at his misfortune and asked, “Domestic violence?”
“You actually know this term?” Ren Baqian was slightly taken aback. Never had he expected that a modern term like this would come out of the other party’s mouth.
“Hmph! Stop looking down on others. I have actually gone to an all-female school before.” Qing Lian’s expression immediately turned serious.
“Great Xia actually has the term ‘domestic violence!’” Ren Baqian immediately tweaked the way he spoke.
“If you know about it, why can’t others know about it as well?” Qing Lian asked.
Ren Baqian spread his arms out and shrugged his shoulders. Then, he took his crutch, headed toward the classroom, and said, “Follow me.”
Qing Lian recalled something and instantly asked, “Oh, that’s right, you guys have a rather dirty and old fellow here, right? What does he do? He doesn’t seem like an ordinary person.”
How could she not find out the background of the person who had bullied her?
Ren Baqian snickered after hearing what Qing Lian said. It had been a long time since he duped Li Fu into coming to Lan City with him. Now, he finally had the opportunity to show him off.
Ren Baqian then casually replied to her, “How did you meet him? He’s in charge of sweeping the grounds!”
Apart from his Black Bamboo Academy, which other schools out there had the world’s number one expert sweeping their grounds for them? At the thought of this, he felt that he was extremely outstanding!
If word got out, it would probably scare half of the experts in the world.
“Sweeper? Impossible?” Qing Lian’s reaction was exactly what Ren Baqian had anticipated.
“There are many impossible things in this world!” Ren Baqian continued to speak with a carefree tone, acting as if he didn’t care much about it.historical
Qing Lian was extremely suspicious. Could it be that she was so concentrated on snooping around that she didn’t notice the old man’s arrival that day? Perhaps he wasn’t an exceptional expert like she thought?
Yet, the speed and strength of that old man couldn’t be faked!
How could a person like that be a sweeper at a school?
Qing Lian’s footsteps began to slow down due to her deep thoughts.
Ren Baqian entered the classroom and coughed loudly. The originally noisy classroom immediately fell silent.
“From today onward, there will be someone sitting in and learning together with the rest of you!” Ren Baqian announced before calling out to Qing Lian, “Come in!”
“Someone from Great Xia?” The moment Qing Lian stepped in, everyone went ballistic.
With one flip, Tong Lan landed on the table as if she was going to pounce on Qing Lian the next second.
“Quiet! Everyone take your seats, especially you. Look at how you are behaving? Are you a mother monkey?” Ren Baqian reprimanded Tong Lan.
“She’s from Great Xia!” Tong Lan yelled at the top of her lungs while pointing at Qing Lian.
“In the future, many of you will go on to become court officials. Don’t limit your thinking to only two options when you are faced with a problem—only a child would do that. Look at Great Xia. Even though they are currently our enemy, they aren’t a united entity. There’s still a portion of them that aren’t our enemy. What we have to do is turn the enemies into dead people. Then, turn those who aren’t the enemy into an enemy. We shouldn’t be indiscriminately killing everyone,” Ren Baqian calmly preached to the students.
Tong Lan was speechless.
Shi Gan and Qing Lian had nothing to say either.
Everyone was dumbfounded after listening to what Ren Baqian said!
First, turn those who aren’t the enemy into an enemy. Then, turn them into dead people? In that case, it wouldn’t be killing everyone indiscriminately, right?
“Introduce yourself!” Ren Baqian noticed that everyone was quiet and immediately felt satisfied.
“Ahem..” Qing Lian wanted to verify if Ren Baqian meant what he said. However, she instead let out a soft cough and then said, “I’m Qing Lian, and I’m not your enemy.”
“Sit over there!” Ren Baqian pointed at a corner of the classroom. After Qing Lian took her seat, he began to teach.
