Chapter 804 - The Queen’s Tears (2/2)
The boss of the inn sighed. “The Queen’s tears.”
“The queen of the Baiyue Nation?” said Xiao Luo in surprise.
“Yep.”
The boss of the inn gave him a big nod. “The Queen’s tears can relieve the forbidden fruit’s effect, and they are harmless to a woman’s body. That said, Her Majesty lives in the imperial palace. Folks like us won’t even get to see her even once in our entire lives, let alone get her tears.”
Xiao Luo’s brows knitted together once again. In his eyes, the Baiyue Nation was a strange place. They had forbidden fruits that could get people pregnant, while their queen’s tears could harmlessly induce abortion. That was extremely weird.
However, since he already knew the Queen’s tears could induce abortion, he would try every way to get them.
“Thanks.”
Xiao Luo expressed his gratitude to the boss of the inn. Then he turned around and left.
…
…
Night fell. The nights in the Baiyue Nation were no different from the nights in other places. The moon threw its silver light upon the entire land. The bamboo forest on the mountain turned dark in the moonlight. There was a myriad of twinkling lights, and the incessant chirps of insects came from the grass and sounded like drizzling rain.
Xiao Luo was moving about freely in the imperial palace of the Baiyue Nation. No one could sense his existence. However, he had searched the entire palace but failed to find the residence of the queen. Besides, he acutely detected a powerful person’s energy in the imperial palace. That person should be at least a Martial Venerable. That was the strongest aura he had sensed since his arrival in the Arcana Land.
Was that Martial Venerable aura coming from the queen of the Baiyue Nation?
Xiao Luo wondered. However, before he could be one hundred percent sure, he avoided the powerful person. This was a Martial Venerable, and he had to be extremely cautious. If he antagonized that Martial Venerable, it would be quite troublesome because he still needed to leave the land using their teleportation portal.
He had better find the right person to ask!
He decided. Standing on the colored glazed roof, Xiao Luo looked around for someone and found a candidate soon enough.
That was a woman in close-fitting white clothes walking with quick steps on a path. She was wearing her black long hair in a bun, with a jade hairpin stuck in her hair. She did not pencil her eyebrows as they were already prominent enough. Her skin was so fair and smooth that she did not need any makeup. Her lips were as red as cherries. The silk belt around her waist accentuated her slim body nicely. A silver lock pendant hung on the necklace she was wearing around her neck, swaying and chiming as she walked.
She should be a maid in the imperial palace.
Xiao Luo guessed.
The moon attracted the maid’s attention. As she held a tray with liquor and food in her hands, she could not help but lift her head to appreciate the moon.
Before she knew it, Xiao Luo grasped her fair-skinned neck. In a panic, the tray of liquor and food fell to the ground. However, enclosed by Xiao Luo’s True Inner Force, they fell to the ground making no noise.
“Don’t scream. Otherwise, you will lose your life. Understood?” Xiao Luo rasped.
The maid was shaking, but she nodded to show that she understood him clearly.
Xiao Luo would never bully a woman. He let go of her as soon as she nodded so that she could breathe, but he never let his guard down. If the maid tried to scream, he would stun her immediately.
The maid did not recover from the shock for a while as she desperately gasped for air. Then she laid her crystal-clear eyes on Xiao Luo as if he was a rare thing.
“What are you staring at? Stop staring. Otherwise, I’ll dig your eyes out!”
Xiao Luo scowled in a fake raspy voice because her stare was making him quite self-conscious.
