Chapter 3, Queen? Pervert?
That terrifying thing
The guards halted, blood streaming from their noses, and turned back in confusion
You, lift your feet up
Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed across the sky like rolling thunder
... ...
Ah? Jing Hengbo's eyes widened in surprise, "What serious crime? Did you see me? Is it really that serious? I don't mind!"
Climb
Little darling, prepare a tent for me to sleep in, and it must be made of wool
... ...
Jing Hengbo, with an air of triumph, crossed her legs and watched a group of Da Huang guards bustling around at her command, her expression one of great satisfaction
She comfortably lay down, just about to summon a few guards to give her a massage, when she noticed those fellows huddled together, seemingly dividing something, with faint flashes of colorful light visible among the crowd.
Oh, she doesn't know that she is about to return to the Great Wilderness, and isn't the Great Wilderness something that can be picked up everywhere and is not valuable?
You, three centimeters to the left... Yes! Be careful! STOP! Don't step on my gem!
Bang
These shoes are quite strange. The soles have spikes! Such large spikes!
A minute later, a fight broke out. Rubies and sapphires rolled across the ground, along with the emerald that had been picked up earlier, being trampled in the dust. People were busy pulling hair and slapping faces, with no one paying attention.
A young guard, lacking composure, was startled by her voice and could not help but turn around. In an instant, he saw a dazzling white in the darkness, the exquisite outline of the woman rising and falling amidst the chaotic blackness, resembling a jade-carved treasure vase
Little darling, I am thirsty; prepare some water for me
Do not hit anymore
Suddenly, a voice floated over, like a whisper, resonating beside her ear
Is this... all gemstones?
Jing Hengbo took a few steps and realized she could not bear it; the gemstone was too heavy, causing her waist to ache. She considered where to hide it but felt uneasy about various options. In the end, she had no choice but to put most of it in the box, only selecting a few emeralds to carry with her.
Oh! Her Majesty the Queen is truly benevolent in all directions
Little darling, I have not yet washed my face; go fetch some water. Remember to add some flower petals. Do you have any royal court secret recipes for essential oils or flower soaps? This could also be arranged
Jing Hengbo received her own box with a beaming smile, "Thank you, my dear... oh no, I mean my little darling!"
Everyone shook their heads like a rattle drum
Sent!
Jing Hengbo's shoulders were tense, her breathing rapid, her fingers trembled nervously, and even her hair strands quivered
The test results are very satisfactory
"How did so many people die?" A certain person, belatedly realizing the situation, jumped back in shock, covering their shoulder in fear. "Someone! Someone! Drag all these corpses away for me! Someone! Someone! Block the wind for me!"
Based on her extensive experience in discerning beauty accumulated from viewing various high-caliber films, she deduces that this is undoubtedly a beauty, and of a particularly unique temperament
Jing Hengbo shrugged and said, "Nerves." She pulled the zipper up again and swiftly zipped it all the way down.
The little ones stared at the shiny, slender shoe heels, which were as sharp as steel nails, and all shuddered in unison
After a while, the guards arrived carrying a large box. Several others were holding and lifting it as well
Her Majesty, the Queen of Benevolence, meticulously cleaned each of the gems that had been soiled with mud, placed them into a cloth bag, and with great effort, hoisted it onto her back
Jing Hengbo clearly did not see the person's face, yet she felt that he was smiling at her
The brawl is still ongoing, having escalated from slapping to targeting the lower regions. The demands from both sides have shifted from obtaining the gems to the stipulation that the losing party must bear the responsibility of carrying all the gems back to the Great Wilderness.
Jing Hengbo immediately smiled and extended his hand, saying, "Ah, hello, hello. But how can we shake hands from such a distance..."
What is this thing? It is only the size of my palm, triangular in shape. How do I wear it? Is it a scarf? Or a mask?
Jing Hengbo stood behind the crowd, her fingers, adorned with golden nail polish, covering her mouth, her eyes wide like emeralds. She remained oblivious even after her high heels were stepped on several times
She wasn't really that hungry or thirsty. Before she prepared to escape from the research institute, she had already eaten half of the snacks she made, which were small cakes. She just thought that since she had become a queen, she should quickly enjoy it. Moreover, the pies falling from the sky felt too unreal; she had to test whether this queen was truly as magnificent as it seemed.
A few parts of wickedness, a few parts of melancholy
What happened here
A group of guards stroked their chins as they observed.
"Your Majesty," the courtiers gently reminded, "the term 'Aiqing' is a title for ministers. We hold a lowly status, merely being third-class walking guards in the Yuzhao Palace, and are unworthy of your address..."
In the crowd, a bright red bottom is protruding, while Jing Hengbo kneels in the mud, her meticulously maintained fingers, adorned with golden nail polish, carefully excavating those shiny objects, one by one
She looked up, searching for the source of the sound, and only then did she see that suddenly there was a figure on the opposite bank of the river
Long has a flamboyant nature and loves everything that sparkles
She opened her mouth, waiting for the child who had gone mad and jumped into the river at midnight to surface from the water, but all she saw was a line of water swiftly cutting across the river's surface, disappearing on the other side.
She feels very happy
Absolutely a beauty
A peculiar smile, difficult to articulate whether it is one of joy or not. It resembles a moment suspended in time, at the edge of the universe, witnessing another life, filled with solitude yet tinged with a subtle irony
Wow! This is so heavy
Ah? Why is that?
You have lost! The queen has fallen! Hurry and carry my ruby, it's too heavy, and the captain of the guards won't let me throw it away, saying it will bring trouble, I absolutely do not want to carry it back to the wasteland
A young guard, filled with curiosity, secretly pried open the box containing those colorful items, rummaged through them, and suddenly his expression changed drastically. With a snap, he closed the box tightly.
The guards stood motionless with their backs to her—Your Majesty, that dress of yours only has the sound of being pulled down, but not yet pulled up. This indicates that you must still be in a state of disarray. If we turn around now, it would be disastrous for you, so you better take care of yourself.
Those who stand in my way shall die
The mysterious and alluring man suddenly extended his hand towards her, his fingers slender under the moonlight
Jing Hengbo pushed aside one and stepped forward decisively
Jing Hengbo got up with a roll and tiptoed over
Ah! Jing Hengbo is afraid that the beautiful woman in the picture will be scared away. If she jumps into the water again, her good fortune will be lost. Quickly zipping up, she heads straight to the riverbank. "Hello, handsome. I am Jing Hengbo, my English name is Jennifer. You can call me Da Bo or Jenny. What is your name? How old are you this year? What is your zodiac sign? What is your star sign? Where do you live? Let's get to know each other..."
The group of people is arguing in low voices
... ...
Having never eaten pork but having seen pigs run, she, who is interested in all things fashionable, certainly knows which gemstones are the most precious
Three minutes later, all the chaotic crowd had left the threat range of the gem
Upon a closer look, the recent ones are all three zhang away, with their backs turned towards her
Ran away? Escaped with water?
While packing the suitcase, she glanced at her clothes covered in mud and decided to change. She casually grabbed a mini skirt from the box, and without a word, she pulled down the zipper of the tight-fitting dress on her back with a swift motion. The zipper, caked in dirt, got stuck halfway, and without lifting her head, she said, "Little darling, come help me out."
The law of crossing has indeed not been broken here—besides the golden finger, there are beauties everywhere
"Little darlings" stumbled...
Ah, finally someone is carrying the heavy, burdensome gems for us! God knows we brought the gems out to exchange for goods, but the impoverished people of Dayan, who have never seen the market, said they couldn't open them and refused to make any exchanges!
Traversing the world is indeed fantastical
Help!" Jing Hengbo screamed, jumping around and stepping on a corpse, the sticky sensation underfoot felt like stepping on a soft snake, and all the hairs on her body stood on end
Nonsense! It fell down!
The guards looked at her hunched figure carrying the gemstones and felt a sense of happiness.
Jing Hengbo's saliva immediately dripped down with a splash
Are these guys betting gems by the basket? What do they mean by whether to carry or not? Have they lost their minds
What happened? Why are you watching her so closely? The companion's curiosity was even greater.
Oh, doesn't she find it heavy
You just lost! The queen crawled out! Haven't you seen her climbing out of the pit? A basket of sapphires! It's all yours to carry!
Jing Hengbo, with a beaming smile, carried the gem on her back. After fiercely warning everyone not to covet it with a menacing glare, she tied the gem securely around her waist with a rope and then walked away with a staggered and laborious gait.
Three feet away stands the queen, her whole body trembling, her eyes blazing, arms raised high, with a green face and sharp fangs
Great!
The dress slipped from her shoulders, and Jing Hengbo narcissistically caressed her arms, "Oh, the skin as cold as ice and as white as snow..."
You, stand firm
Ah, my dear ministers, quickly go and retrieve the box for me. Alas, where could it have gone...
"Oh, what did you see? Why are you so nervous?" inquired the companion.
Jing Hengbo's outstretched arm remained rigidly suspended in mid-air
There was no sound. Jing Hengbo raised his head—huh, where is everyone?
Fall ! ''
The stability of chunky heels... Ah, but they lack femininity... Or perhaps flats? The ground here isn't very even... Ah, but that wouldn't showcase my long legs... I suppose I'll go with stilettos then... Just in case someone tries to harm me, I can nail them with one kick!" Jing Hengbo slipped into a pair of leopard-print strappy ten-inch stilettos, smiling charmingly as she looked up, "Isn't that right, my little darling?"
"Alright, alright. The box, the box," Jing Hengbo called out loudly, "It seems that the box just cracked open. Don't forget to gather everything that fell out for me..."
You, don't move
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The companion shook off his hand, "How can we escape? It's quite possible that the Grand Master already knows! Besides, Her Majesty the Queen seems perfectly normal; what is so abnormal about her?"
Is it necessary?
Who?" Jing Hengbo was taken aback, looking down at the guard, who remained motionless and did not speak at all
Oh, she has put everything away
Just because I turned to look at her once
Jing Hengbo swiftly cast this issue into the clouds.
The figure was tall, and the corners of the black robe fluttered in the night wind like a wisp of black cloud. Upon closer inspection, the robe was not entirely black; it shimmered with fine silver light. This radiance intertwined with the hazy moonlight and the glimmering water, spreading a delicate silver hue that obscured his outline, yet suddenly felt dazzling.
The young guard shook his head repeatedly, his face pale, covering his pants, trembling and staring at Jing Hengbo
All four individuals are solitary children, among whom Jing Hengbo is even unclear about his exact age, but the other three unanimously agree that he must belong to the Dragon zodiac.
Oh, what is the queen doing
What does this mean
Hello... She stood there in a daze for a while, then walked up to a guard who had his back to her and poked him in the back, asking, "What was that person just now... what was he doing?"
Jing Hengbo was just about to reach out for help when this kid suddenly turned around, let out a sharp scream, and dashed a few steps before jumping into the river with a splash
If the three roommates are present, they are likely to hum the phrase "Mother Long's illness flares up"
Big Brother! The little guard grabbed his collar, "This queen cannot be recognized! Pervert! Big pervert! She will definitely not adhere to our palace rules. She is the one we brought back, and in the future, she will cause a great disaster that will bring us to our doom! Brother, let's hurry and escape! Huh?"
Just a minute ago, she had a fleeting thought of "something feels off, either don't be this queen" due to the diving attendant, but in the blink of an eye, that thought was extinguished by a figure on the distant riverbank.
With a few swift movements, she discarded the damaged black stockings and found a new pair from the box to change into. Jing Hengbo casually picked up a pair of high heels.
Scoundrel! Crawl out!
As the man raised a finger, the river water surged with a splash, and a figure emerged straight from the depths, lifted out. The man hooked the person's collar with a finger and casually tossed him aside
Beautiful person
The drenched corpse fell at Jing Hengbo's feet
He committed a serious crime," the guard said sadly, "He should have committed suicide, but he escaped. Considering our camaraderie, we do not wish to pursue him. In fact, we have also committed the crime of harboring him... Sigh, it is what it is.
Jing Hengbo felt relieved
The young guard grimaced, glanced at the box, and shrank to one side
A chill breeze swept across her back, causing her to shiver; only then did she notice the dead scattered all around.
Little darling, I am hungry. What is there to eat? It would be best to have roasted chicken legs
I mind
The guard huddled with his head down, firmly pressing his face against the ground, and replied in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, I have exiled myself."
What are the several strips of cloth connecting these two circles? Are they for holding water?
