Chapter 923: Hit on Her!

Although the woman said this, Ren Baqian knew that she wouldn’t kill him for the time being.
Otherwise, he would have died just now.
Since she didn’t kill him immediately, it meant that he had something that she wanted.
The question was how important this item was to the woman. If it wasn’t that important, she could still kill Ren Baqian at any time.
He wasn’t too worried about this actually. There were just too many things on his mind.
The next question would be how to survive and how to find a way to escape.
Ren Baqian had to do so within four days.
He would have to return to Earth in four days.
Thinking about it, the woman would be dumbfounded if he were to suddenly disappear. He would also be dumbfounded if he were to see her after he returned to this world.
All in all, Ren Baqian analyzed the situation and deduced that there was a piece of good news and a piece of bad news.
The good news was… he had discovered the root of the problem on his own and found the culprit.
The bad news was… he was being held captive by that person…
In any case, Ren Baqian had found the mastermind and had at least found some clues.
He had already completed half of his objectives here.
The other half was to figure out how to leave this place alive and launch his treasure!
If things weren’t done properly… the empress would become widowed…
With a smile on his face, thoughts raced through Ren Baqian’s mind. He had to smile more in such instances.
“What’s your name, sister?”
He felt a sharp pain on his face just as he finished his sentence.
“Why don’t you ask me why I slapped you?” The woman gave a bright smile.
“A woman like you can be forgiven no matter what you do! Why bother asking if I’m going to forgive you regardless?” Ren Baqian felt a painful heat on his face, but his expression stayed the same as he remained smiling brilliantly at her.
At this point, he was fully into it.
He threw away his pride and identity, which he had built up over the past few years.
It was all for surviving and then finding an opportunity to escape.
As for revenge, leave that until after Ren Baqian managed to escape!
“I’m starting to understand why Qi Zixiao fancies you!” the woman said suddenly.
He continued to smile and kept silent.
“I have seen too many shameless and two-faced people. Someone like you is truly hard to come by!” she said faintly. “As for my name… It doesn’t matter if I tell you. At least you’ll die knowing it. It’s Yun Yuhan. No one knows this name, I presume.”
Ren Baqian’s heart skipped. No one knew this name? This meant that this woman wasn’t on the list of top experts?
Could it be that she had used a false name or… was there some other reason? At this time, there should be no need for her to use a false name. Yun Yuhan should be her real name.
Why? Xu Wuming was on the list, but not this person…
The person who made the list of the top experts in the world had always been a mystery. It would just appear every year…
This organization was also a mystery…
Were both of these people from the same organization? They made Xu Wuming the face of their group while the rest stayed hidden?
Why did these experts agree to this? They stayed anonymous just to obstruct people like Ren Baqian who wanted to leave the land of exile?
In order to keep himself alive, these thoughts raced across his mind rapidly, and he managed to deduce so many things from one sentence that she said.
“Judging from your expression, you don’t seem to be afraid? Do you think they will come back and rescue you?” The woman smiled as she looked at his expression.
“If that was a possibility, we wouldn’t be here by now,” Ren Baqian replied calmly.
“You are a smart man… Unfortunately, you only look smart and do stupid things.” She shook her head, lifted him by the neck, dashed through the window, and ran into the distance. She made a few turns along the way and ran along the river for a few kilometers before moving back inland. An hour after that, they arrived at a small village.
They faced strong winds throughout the entire journey, and the woman’s speed wasn’t any slower than the empress’s.
Ren Baqian estimated that it took five hours at a speed of about 175 kilometers per hour, which meant that they traveled more than 800 kilometers. Considering the detours along the way, the straight line distance was more than 400 kilometers.
They were probably somewhere in the north, near the border with Great Xia.
At this distance, Li Yuanzhu and the others definitely wouldn’t be able to find him.
Ren Baqian began to worry. If he were to be detained in this place, he would be doomed.
He would definitely be discovered traveling to and from Earth.
If he were to try to lie his way through, he could probably do it a few times at most. He might one day take this woman back to Earth by accident.
That would be troublesome.
Who were the people in this village? How long would Ren Baqian be detained for? How would they treat him after they discovered his secret?
All of these thoughts churned in his mind, and all of the available options were passive. His life was held in the hands of others. It wasn’t only his life, but the empress’s as well. If they really wanted to take action against her, would she be their match?
Thinking about this, the crisis awareness in his mind grew even stronger!
Ren Baqian needed to find a way to change the situation!
Yun Yuhan landed in a courtyard. There were people who immediately greeted her from afar. They were all strong men in their thirties and forties, and they seemed to have great respect for her.
At the sight of this, Ren Baqian immediately thought of something.
She was a very strong woman… and also someone of great status… He only had one active way to turn the tide and that was to hit on her!
This idea suddenly popped up in his head!
Ren Baqian pondered. Although he had such delicate features, talent was still the most important aspect of a person. He couldn’t possibly always rely on his looks.
“Now, stay here. You can forget about escaping. With that puny strength of yours, you can’t escape.” Yun Yuhan threw him into a side room and laughed.
“This treatment is better than I expected.” He looked around before looking back at her and asking, “What are you going to do with me next? What information do you want from me? First of all, don’t think about torturing me. I’m afraid of pain. You can probably consider seducing me. Perhaps I will fall for it!”
She smiled and looked at his performance.
Yun Yuhan pulled up close to Ren Baqian. Her alluring fragrance assailed his nostrils as her supple bosom pressed against his body!
“How do you want me to seduce you?” She breathed her soft words and warm breath into his ear.
He deliberately stepped back and said, “By not killing me and by bringing me here, tell me what you want first!”
Yun Yuhan followed him closely and whispered in Ren Baqian’s ear, “Now that no one is disturbing us… You and I have time to talk…”
Seeing that she moved closer to him, he lowered his head and replied bluntly, “Two single people in a room. Why don’t we do something more meaningful?”
“What do you want to do?” She chuckled as a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
“For example, we can dance? Being able to dance with a woman like you, I wouldn’t even trade it for becoming a deity!” Ren Baqian reached out and grabbed Yun Yuhan’s hands. He detected that her movement was a little unnatural and immediately knew that she was just a paper tiger.
However, she wanted to see what tricks he had up his sleeve and allowed him to grab her hands.
“Oh? Wouldn’t even trade dancing with me for becoming a deity?” She chuckled again, her tone full of mockery.
“Lovers would rather be a pair of harmonious flounder than be separated from their loved one. They would rather be a pair of mandarin ducks than be a deity.
A pair of flounder and a pair of mandarin ducks are so enviable—haven’t you seen them?
A lonesome phoenix embroidery on the curtain is the most detestable. Take that down and replace it with a pair of swallows.
With a pair of swallows flying around the embroidery, even the curtains and quilts smell like tulips.
Her black hair is combed in the shape of the cicada’s wings, and a glowing yellow crescent moon is painted on her forehead.”
Ren Baqian put one hand on his waist and the other on his shoulder as he recited an excerpt from the Chang An Gu Yi1. He gently hummed Canon as he led Yun Yuhan and started dancing in the middle of the room.
Her eyes glowed and she suddenly held back her smile as she allowed him to lead her in the dance as if she were a puppet.
He had to admit that she was much better at learning than the empress. She immediately knew how to do it after stepping on his feet a few times.
Ren Baqian and the empress had also danced to the same tune a few times, but with sweet feelings. At present, although his hands were soft, his heart was cold. Both of them were smiling, but both held knives under their facades.
The only difference was that he had what she wanted. This was what he was counting on. Apart from that, his life was in her hands.
On the other hand, she was toying with him like a monkey and was very interested in enjoying this novelty experience that he introduced.
