On Earth, in the house that Ren Baqian had been renting, two figures suddenly appeared out of thin air in the originally empty room. If someone were to see them, they would probably be scared to death.
When the two of them came out from the palace, it was pitch-black with only a faint light shining in from the window. This made Ren Baqian immediately realize that it was already late at night. When he felt the hand that was holding his wrist loosen, he turned around and turned on the light switch.
The light instantly turned on, making Ren Baqian feel a little dazzled.
At this moment, the empress was wearing the red dress that she wore when she came back from here. She was wearing a pair of black flat-soled shoes, giving off a modern vibe.
However, the hair that was coiled up on her head and the golden hairpin did not match her clothes.
The empress seemed to be aware of this problem. She reached out and removed the hairpin from her head, letting her hair fall down.
Ren Baqian looked at the time on the wall. It was 1: 20 in the morning.
At this time in Dayao, it was only 8 o 'clock.
The two of them still needed to make up for the difference in time.
"Three days here is equivalent to one day in Dayao," the empress said as she looked at Ren Baqian. The empress looked at Ren Baqian and said. She had already noticed this problem the last time she was in this world. That was because after staying in this world for two and a half days, only 20 hours had passed since she returned.
Ren Baqian nodded his head.
"It's a good choice to train here, but this world is too dirty," the empress said after thinking for a while.
The last time she was here, she always felt that her nose was uncomfortable.
If it wasn't for the fact that her physical fitness was too good, she would have gotten rhinitis in such an environment.
Ren Baqian spread out his hands and said, "This is the inevitable process of technological development. There are gains and losses. Perhaps after a few years, this world will return to its original state."
It might be better, or it might be worse. Who could say for sure what would happen in the future?
However, technology was advancing, and people's understanding of the environment had improved a lot. Ren Baqian was still inclined to believe that the future would become better.
"Your Majesty, take a rest first. I will bring you around tomorrow," Ren Baqian said.
…
The next morning, Ren Baqian woke up. Before him, the empress was already sitting on the sofa with her legs curled up, watching the news.
Other than some of Ren Baqian's introductions, she obtained her knowledge of this world from the news.
Ren Baqian leaned against the wall and looked at the empress, who was sitting on the sofa. there was a strange feeling in his heart.
It was the feeling of a belated first love.
Even though he was afraid of the empress in the beginning and felt that she was dignified and indifferent, that feeling was getting lesser and lesser these days. Every time he saw the empress, his heart would palpitate with excitement.
Any man who was chosen by such a woman to be her husband and then retracted all the spikes on his body would probably not refuse.
"I'm hungry." The empress met his gaze and looked back.
"Okay." Ren Baqian smiled, turned around, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Ren Baqian first made porridge and then began to fry the eggs. These were all that was left at home. The vegetables that were bought when the empress was still around had rotted away in the refrigerator.
"There's a fire." The empress's cold voice was heard. Ren Baqian immediately turned his head and looked around. There were no signs of fire in the surroundings.
"It's downstairs." Ren Baqian then ran out of the kitchen. Sure enough, there was already black smoke drifting up from downstairs.
Ren Baqian didn't know if there was anyone downstairs. He hurriedly ran upstairs and called the fire department. At the same time, he looked down from the window. It was just below him, on the sixth floor.
Ren Baqian also saw half a body sticking out of the window. It was a woman.
"I'm calling the fire department," Ren Baqian shouted.
"Help, the door can't be opened and I can't run out. Please pass me a rope." The woman downstairs raised her head and pleaded.
From her voice, she didn't sound old. He couldn't make out her appearance as her face was completely black from the smoke.
Ren Baqian turned his head and looked around. Where was the rope?
"Your Majesty, can you do me a favor?" Ren Baqian turned his head and asked the empress.
Even though he didn't know the person downstairs, he couldn't possibly let such a woman face the fire alone. It was just a small effort. If he could help, he would help. After all, he was a good person.
The empress's facial expression changed. The person downstairs wasn't an aboriginal. Furthermore, from her voice, it was a woman.
However, since Ren Baqian requested, she still nodded her head.
"I'll trouble Your Majesty to help me open the door." Ren Baqian thanked her. He hurriedly ran to the corridor in his pajamas, opened the fire hydrant, took out the fire extinguisher, and ran to the sixth floor.
The empress followed closely behind him.
At this moment, there was already someone on the sixth floor. Ren Baqian didn't know if it was the person next door or the person downstairs. A middle-aged man was smashing the door lock with a hammer.
"Let me do it." Ren Baqian saw the situation and put the fire extinguisher aside. Originally, he thought that he could get the empress to smash the door lock with a slap. However, he couldn't do that now that there was someone here.
Fortunately, he had over 140 kilograms of strength. He felt that he should be slightly stronger than that middle-aged man. He grabbed the hammer and smashed it twice. The door handle, which was already on the verge of collapse, was smashed down. However, after smashing it down, he realized that the door still couldn't be opened.
"There's someone in the house. Do you have a rope? I'll go down from the window and let her climb up," Ren Baqian said to that middle-aged man.
"Yes." After Ren Baqian snatched the hammer away from that middle-aged man, he turned around and saw the empress in red. Immediately, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
Until the empress's face started to turn frosty. That middle-aged man shivered. He didn't know why but a feeling of fear arose in his heart. He subconsciously looked away.
At this moment, after hearing Ren Baqian's words, he immediately agreed and hurriedly ran downstairs to get the rope.
After he left, a spotlessly white hand smacked the position of the door lock. With a "bang", the chain immediately dented the surrounding iron. Following which, all the parts of the lock flew into the house.
After the empress finished smacking the door, she turned around and left. Ren Baqian was stunned for a moment. He stretched out his hand and pulled the door open. A gust of scorching hot smoke and flames immediately spurted out. The shoe cabinet at the door had already started to catch fire.
Ren Baqian couldn't care less about anything else. He immediately turned on the fire extinguisher and started to extinguish the fire.
That middle-aged man ran back with the rope and realized that the door was already open. He was immediately stunned, but he immediately picked up the fire extinguisher from the sixth floor and started to extinguish the fire.
After using two cans of fire extinguisher, the fire in the living room was basically extinguished. Only the kitchen was still burning. A girl with a face full of soot ran out. She knelt on the ground and gasped for breath.
"Woo! I thought I was going to die just now. " The girl cried loudly. At this moment, Ren Baqian estimated that she was only 17 or 18 years old.
"It's alright as long as you're fine. The firefighters will be here soon," Ren Baqian casually said. Since she was fine, there was no need for him to stay any longer.
When Ren Baqian returned, the empress was already sitting on the sofa. She only shot a glance at Ren Baqian when he returned.
Ren Baqian looked at the porridge. Fortunately, she was fine.
He went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. His face was also covered in soot and streaks of black and white.
While he was washing up and changing into a new set of clothes, the firefighters had already arrived.
While Ren Baqian and the empress were having their breakfast quietly, a group of people were studying how the security door became like this after putting out the fire downstairs. The area where the door handle was supposed to be had been smashed in, and the entire security door was dented.
Such a door wouldn't become like this even if it was smashed with a sledgehammer, let alone an ordinary one-handed hammer.
After Ren Baqian finished eating, he kept the bowls and chopsticks before taking out his phone to make a call. Nowadays, the empress needed an identity card. Otherwise, it would be troublesome.
"I want an identity, a real one, not a fake one," Ren Baqian said after the other party picked up the phone.
"We don't do this kind of business." The person on the other side of the phone was the place where Ren Baqian bought guns twice. Ren Baqian really didn't want to trouble Chen Qing. Since the other party could privately run a firearms business in the country, he presumably had a wide network of contacts. An identity card shouldn't be a big problem.
In any case, Ren Baqian didn't have any connections. Even if he had money, he didn't know who to give it to. He also didn't have the time to bribe someone.
"200,000 yuan. You just need to tell me who to look for. After that, let him know first."
The other party was silent for a while before replying, "Alright."
If he wanted a real identity card, he would definitely have to give the other party the empress's photo and name. As for these people, even though they looked like intelligent people, Ren Baqian still couldn't trust them. He was afraid that there would be trouble in the future. The main thing was that the other party's business would make people wary.
