"Your Majesty, Storyteller Ren is here," a guard entered the palace hall and reported to the empress .

"Let him in," the empress waved her arm and replied .

After a moment, Ren Baqian entered the palace hall and greeted the empress, "Greetings, Your Majesty . "

At this point in time, the empress was still wearing the same clothes . Upon seeing Ren Baqian, the empress pa.s.sed her wine cup to Qing Yuan and waved her hand at Qing Yuan and Hong Luan . The two of them immediately bade the empress farewell and left the palace hall .

As they walked past Ren Baqian, they sized him up . What happened tonight was very shocking to everyone, including the two of them .

"It's already so late, what's the matter?" the empress asked Ren Baqian .

"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you . " Since he was already here, Ren Baqian felt that he shouldn't shrink back anymore . He could hide it for now, but he couldn't hide it forever . Since the truth would be out sooner or later, he might as well show some sincerity by confessing to her now .

"Speak!" The empress sat up from her couch . Then, she s.h.i.+fted her body and leaned against the back of the couch . "Come closer and talk . "

Ren Baqian took a few steps forward and stopped two meters in front of the couch . Then, he said, "I'm from China . "

"You have told me that before . " The empress nodded her head .

"China is not from this world . I don't know how far is China from this place . It might be in another galaxy or even another universe," Ren Baqian continued .

"I thought there was only one world . Is there another world outside of a galaxy? Isn't that where the G.o.ds live?" the empress asked .

"I don't know about the rest, but the Earth is definitely not where the G.o.ds live," Ren Baqian shook his head and replied .

"So Earth is your world? Continue speaking . "

"Every three days, I have to return to Earth once . After one day in this world has pa.s.sed, I will come back here again . I guess Your Majesty already knows about this, and I don't want to hide it from you . I have zero control over when I return to Earth and when I come back here," Ren Baqian continued .

"So you're saying you can't stay here?" The tone of the empress's voice did not change much, but Ren Baqian felt his surroundings suddenly turned cold .

A cold s.h.i.+ver went down Ren Baqian's spine . He forcibly maintained his composure and said, "Your Majesty, you're mistaken . "

Ren Baqian's brain began to operate at full power . Before the empress could say anything, he continued, "All this time, I have been wondering why I have the chance to come to this world . Recently, I suddenly realized that there must be a reason for this, and the reason is I am here for Your Majesty . Otherwise, why would I drop in front of Your Majesty's entourage out of all places? I'm destined to come here, just like how Your Majesty is destined to become the overlord of this world . I'm destined to come here to accompany Your Majesty . Everything is arranged by Heaven . Heaven is the highest authority in every world . Since Heaven has arranged for me to come here and be by your side, I will definitely not leave this place . "

"Speak the truth," the empress examined Ren Baqian closely and said .

"I'm speaking the truth and these words are from the bottom of my heart . If Heaven has arranged a time limit to how long I can be by Your Majesty's side, I hope it's ten thousand years . "

After Ren Baqian said these words, he could clearly sense that the empress had withdrawn her aura .

"If you let me find out you're lying to me, you will get it from me," the empress said . Her elegant, almond-shaped eyes were filled with vigor .

Even though she was the empress, she had never heard such words before .

The way she looked at Ren Baqian became more and more gentle .

"It's just that I can't control when I return to Earth and when I come back here . Therefore, tonight I still have to return to Earth . However, I feel that it's a good that I can return to Earth . I can search for things on Earth that are suitable for Your Majesty . "

"Pour me some wine," the empress instructed Ren Baqian .

Ren Baqian quickly filled up a cup beside him with wine and pa.s.sed it to the empress . After she downed it in one gulp, he filled her cup again .

"Remember what you said," the empress said .

"How can I not remember my own words . Even if I die, I will still be looking up at Your Majesty from the underworld," Ren Baqian replied

"Finish this cup of wine . " The empress pa.s.sed the cup of wine to Ren Baqian .

Ren Baqian looked the cup of wine in the empress's hand . Isn't this indirect kissing? However, he still quickly took it and downed it in one gulp .

He could smell an alluring fragrance from the wine .

"I will remember what you said . Go back now, come back and find me the day after tomorrow," the empress said .

"I shall take my leave then . " Ren Baqian placed the wine cup on the table and bade the empress farewell .

As Ren Baqian stepped out of the palace hall, he saw Qing Yuan and Hong Luan standing not far away .

"Greetings, ladies . " Ren Baqian cupped his fists at them .

"Greetings, Storyteller Ren," both of them greeted Ren Baqian as well . Now, Ren Baqian was no longer just a storyteller .

Even if they did not need to treat him like how they treated the empress, they still had to improve their att.i.tudes towards him .

Ren Baqian took some time to find the guard just now and had him bring him back to his room . After closing the door, Ren Baqian fell flat on his bed and thought about every movement that the empress made just now .

He recalled the change in the empress's att.i.tude towards him . From the look of it, he seemed to have done a good job .

Ren Baqian wasn't sure about other things, but he could definitely tell that the empress liked to listen to flattery very much .

Actually, this was rather normal . After all, who doesn't like to listen to flattery? Throughout all the ages, all of those famed rulers liked to listen to flattery . Therefore, Ren Baqian wasn't surprised that the empress liked to listen to flattery .

No matter what, she was still a twenty-three-year-old girl . As the ruler of a nation, there were many aspects in which she surpa.s.sed an ordinary individual . For example, the foresight of a ruler, the governance of a nation, fighting capabilities, etc .

However, these could not hide the fact that she was only a twenty-three-year-old girl . There might even be certain aspects that she lost out to an ordinary individual .

For example, she was extremely vulnerable to touching words .

Especially when he was in her good books .

Even though it was slightly despicable to have such a mindset, he still felt that he should work harder in this aspect .

Of course, he had to take action as well . For example, he had decided to pick some gifts for the empress after he returned to Earth .

At the same time, he had to prepare the information on mine examination, excavation and ore smelting .

The former was his personal matters and the latter was his work matters . He had to maintain a good balance between his personal matters and work matters .

After quite some time, Ren Baqian fell into a deep sleep . Too many things happened tonight . Having been through an emotional roller coaster tonight, he felt extremely weary .

By the time he opened his eyes, he could feel a soft mattress beneath him and he was surrounded by a familiar sight .

"I'm back . " Ren Baqian lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling . He was lazy and did not want to move at all .

In Dayao, he did not dare to relax for even a moment . In this short period of time, he had done things that he thought he would never ever do .

Now that he was back to Earth, he could finally relax .

Ren Baqian got up from his bed after rolling and lying on it for a long time .

He stood at window and looked outside . The environment outside was snow-white in color .

The whole neighborhood was white in color .

The time now should be roughly eight in the morning . However, Ren Baqian couldn't see the sun . The sky seemed slightly dark, appearing as though it was going to snow soon .

Another twelve days had pa.s.sed . Now, it was the last week of November .
