Chapter 805 - The Dumb Maid (1/2)

Xiao Luo’s stare was truly intimidating. The maid trembled and lowered her head with fear.

He said sternly after a few coughs, “Do you know where the queen of the Baiyue Nation is living?”

The maid was dumbstruck. She raised her head, staring at Xiao Luo with her crystal-clear eyes once again.

“Stop staring. I’m asking you if you know where the queen of the Baiyue Nation stays?” Xiao Luo had lost his patience. He found the maid seemed to be a little slower to respond than normal.

Then the maid gave him a big nod.

Xiao Luo eyed her suspiciously and said, “You… You can’t speak?”

The maid blinked innocently, then nodded and smiled at Xiao Luo.

Just my luck—why did she turn out to be dumb?

Xiao Luo frowned. The maid was petite and pretty, and it made him feel like he was bullying her.

He said in a gentler voice, “Lead the way.”

The maid seemed to not understand and looked at Xiao Luo with a confused face.

Xiao Luo breathed out slowly and repeated, “Take me to see your queen. Do you understand me or not?”

The maid nodded. Then she turned around and walked in another direction. She was taking Xiao Luo to where he wanted to go.

Xiao Luo felt relieved when she did not head toward that powerful person whose attainment was at least Martial Venerable. In this way, he confirmed that the queen of the Baiyue Nation was not at the level of Martial Venerable. That would make it easier for him, for he just needed to find the queen and make her cry. Then he would get the tears easily.

The imperial palace of the Baiyue Nation was as complex as the Forbidden City in the Original World. There were many buildings and alleys, hence it was easy to get lost here.

Xiao Luo stayed vigilant as he walked behind the maid. He could smell her fragrance wafting through the air from time to time. Whenever they ran into any guards patrolling the premises, Xiao Luo would take the maid into the air to avoid them, and only descend to the ground when they had left.

They met countless groups of patrolling guards in the imperial palace. Xiao Luo finally got impatient and said to the dumb maid, “Which one is the queen’s residence palace? Just point it out to me.”

They were on the roof of a building, from where they could overlook most of the imperial palace.

The dumb maid nodded. She looked down to search and finally fixed her eyes on a building not far away. She smiled at Xiao Luo, pointing at that building.

Xiao Luo held her around her waist with one hand and flew over in a flash. He landed on the roof of that building without a sound, but as it turned out, it was not a residence palace at all. It was simply a gate.

“The queen of the Baiyue Nation lives in this gate?” asked Xiao Luo in an icy voice.

The dumb maid gave him an apologetic smile. She took paper and pen out from her pocket and wrote something down, then showed it to Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo saw a line of beautiful writing: Too many buildings in the imperial palace. They all of them look the same. I made a mistake.

Did she make a mistake?
