Chapter 805: 805. The Dumb Maid

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?

Xiao Luo thought immediately that the dumb maid was lying to him. However, on second thought, the imperial palace of the Baiyue Nation was indeed vast, and there were many buildings. Besides, it was in the night and it seemed reasonable to make a mistake like that. And it was simply a case of this maid having never seen the imperial palace from a high place. It made it even more difficult for her to recognize the queen’s residence palace.

“Try again. Don’t make another mistake!”

The dumb maid nodded. She looked around carefully with her crystal-clear eyes. Sometimes she knitted her brows, and then they became smooth again. Sometimes she tilted her head to think, and then her eyes lit up as if she had suddenly realized. It took her a good while before she could finally pinpoint one building.

Xiao Luo took her into the air, wasting no time. He flew towards that building immediately.

Not until he had landed on the roof of that building did he find it was a field for people to practice martial arts. Some muscular women were still training there. They were not wearing any tops, which made them seem as carefree and heroic as men were.

Xiao Luo rolled his eyes at the dumb maid. He said, “You made another mistake. Am I right?”

The dumb maid seemed very sorry about it. She wrote something on the paper and then bowed to Xiao Luo to apologize. “Sorry!” That was what she wrote.

However, that apology meant little to Xiao Luo. He glanced at other places, realizing it was a big mistake to count on this dumb maid to find the residence of the queen of the Baiyue Nation. She was simply unreliable.

At this moment, the dumb maid wrote something more on the paper and showed it to Xiao Luo. “Let’s go back to the ground. I know the way to the residence palace of the queen. I swear I won’t make another mistake.”

Was that really because she had never seen the imperial palace from above that she failed to recognize the queen’s residence palace?

Xiao Luo was dubious. After pondering on it for a while, he chose to trust this dumb maid one more time.

He gave her a fearsome look and warned, “I will kill you if you make another mistake. Do you understand me?”

Her tiny mouth slightly open, the dumb maid was taken aback, but she nodded with a smile. That smile was so pure and adorable that it magically made people forget about their troubles.

She is not afraid of me at all?

Xiao Luo felt he was an awful actor. Otherwise, the dumb maid would not have been so relaxed and calm. Should he pretend to be more hideous?

After landing on the ground, the dumb maid looked around to make sure where they were. Then she smiled at Xiao Luo, signing to him that the palace was in the northeast.

“Lead the way if you know where it is. Take that grin off your face,” Xiao Luo snarled.

The dumb maid nodded with a smile. Then she started to lead the way.

This time, she seemed to be right. It was a building called Funing Palace in the northeast sector of the imperial palace. There were many guards around. Judging from their energy, they were all masters who had achieved Martial Spirit. And their leader was a Martial Lord.

So, here it is!

Holding the dumb maid, Xiao Luo jumped over a high wall to avoid the guards. He broke into the Funing Palace. There was a bedroom with frescoes depicting Kylin in the palace, and the air was filled with the scent of red sandalwood incense.

There were many imposing red pillars in the palace. Each pillar was carved with a soaring phoenix spreading its wings. It was spectacular.

The beams of the bedroom were made of sandalwood and carved with clouds. The room was illuminated by lamps made of crystal jade and decorated with pearl curtains. The pillar bases were all gold plating. Two chiffon bed-curtains, embroidered with begonias in silver stitches and beads, were hanging from the “roof” of the six-foot-wide giant bed made of eaglewood. The bed curtains swayed as the wind blew by, like a mirage of clouds hanging over mountains and the vast sea.

Xiao Luo was stunned. He had never been to the Forbidden City in the Original World and had never seen the palaces with his own eyes. He only saw a little of them from TV series. And now, seeing the luxurious palace, as resplendent as the palaces in the Forbidden City, he felt like he was just an ignorant bumpkin who visited the city for the first time in his life.
