Chapter 804 - The Queen’s Tears

Chapter 804: The Queen’s Tears

Ghost and the Duck Emperor felt a great pain, and they were rolling on the ground in agony. They did not know if it was a sign of pregnancy from consuming the forbidden fruit, so Xiao Luo found an inn for them to take a rest. He faked a high-pitched voice to imitate a woman when he spoke to the desk clerk. Since he had a face with fine features, the desk clerk did not even think about the possibility that he was a man.

The pain subsided when they entered their room. Ghost was lying on the bed feebly and her face was very pale. The Duck Emperor was also lying prone on the bed, thoroughly exhausted.

Xiao Luo once exchanged for medical skill in the system when he was in the Original World. He took their pulses and confirmed Ghost was pregnant, and so was the Duck Emperor. He ate so many that his reaction was faster and his belly even bulged visibly.

“I feel there is life moving in my belly. I’m doomed... I’m doomed. I can’t believe I’m pregnant. I’m dead. If others get the news, I will die in shame!” the Duck Emperor cried.

“And you have the cheek to talk about it!”

Xiao Luo was very annoyed, for he had been gone for only a little while and this happened. They did not even know what the forbidden fruits were, but they had the nerve to pick and eat them. How negligent of them.

“Handsome Luoluo, I don’t want a baby. I don’t...”

Ghost’s eyes turned red, and she was so scared that she held on to Xiao Luo’s hands tightly.

When it came to Ghost, Xiao Luo had unlimited patience. He comforted her and said, “Don’t worry. If the forbidden fruits can get people pregnant, there must be something that can induce an abortion. I’ll find it.”

There was such a thing in the Journey to the West. Even so, the Women’s Kingdom they were now in was not the one in that novel. He did not know whether the magic water of the Abortion Stream existed.

“You stay here. Don’t go anywhere. Wait here until I come back. Did you hear me?” Xiao Luo told them. The remark was directed more at the Duck Emperor, and he also glared at the duck while speaking. Ghost always followed his instructions, so he did not have to worry about her. What worried him most was that the annoying duck would come up with more silly ideas.

“Okay.”

Ghost nodded obediently. She trusted Xiao Luo unconditionally.

The Duck Emperor said in a feeble voice, “Goddamn jerk, take it easy. We are dying here... We’re hardly able to stand up and walk, let alone go somewhere.”

“Alright.”

Xiao Luo responded dourly. Things were going smoothly, but the duck had to cause unnecessary trouble. What if that magic water did not exist at all? Then they would be doomed!

...

...

“What? Your friend ate the forbidden fruit and got pregnant?” The boss of the inn was stunned after hearing Xiao Luo’s story.

“We are from a very far place. It’s our first time here. We didn’t know the forbidden fruit would get people pregnant. Mister, you know anything that can induce abortion?”

Xiao Luo asked with a smile. He not only faked a woman’s voice but also disguised himself as one. Besides, he was wearing those clothes with a gender-neutral style he bought. At this moment, he looked exactly like a woman.

The boss of the inn broke into a smile. He said, “Your friend isn’t the first girl to get pregnant from eating the forbidden fruit by mistake. It happens frequently in the Baiyue Nation. The usual solution is aborticide.”

Aborticide?

How would Xiao Luo not know that stuff? However, taking aborticide could harm a woman’s body and could have drastic consequences. Ghost was still a sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenage girl. He could not bear to see her traumatized just because of one silly mistake. As to the Duck Emperor, he was a drake, and Xiao Luo doubted if aborticide would resolve his problem.

Shaking his head, he asked, “Is there anything else? Something that can induce abortion and not harm the body?”

“Well, there is. But even if I tell you, you won’t be able to get it,” said the boss of the inn, in a wry tone.

“Well, there is no harm in telling me about it,” said Xiao Luo.

The boss of the inn sighed. “The Queen’s tears.”

“The queen of the Baiyue Nation?” said Xiao Luo in surprise.

“Yep.”

The boss of the inn gave him a big nod. “The Queen’s tears can relieve the forbidden fruit’s effect, and they are harmless to a woman’s body. That said, Her Majesty lives in the imperial palace. Folks like us won’t even get to see her even once in our entire lives, let alone get her tears.”

Xiao Luo’s brows knitted together once again. In his eyes, the Baiyue Nation was a strange place. They had forbidden fruits that could get people pregnant, while their queen’s tears could harmlessly induce abortion. That was extremely weird.

However, since he already knew the Queen’s tears could induce abortion, he would try every way to get them.

“Thanks.”

Xiao Luo expressed his gratitude to the boss of the inn. Then he turned around and left.

...

...

Night fell. The nights in the Baiyue Nation were no different from the nights in other places. The moon threw its silver light upon the entire land. The bamboo forest on the mountain turned dark in the moonlight. There was a myriad of twinkling lights, and the incessant chirps of insects came from the grass and sounded like drizzling rain.

Xiao Luo was moving about freely in the imperial palace of the Baiyue Nation. No one could sense his existence. However, he had searched the entire palace but failed to find the residence of the queen. Besides, he acutely detected a powerful person’s energy in the imperial palace. That person should be at least a Martial Venerable. That was the strongest aura he had sensed since his arrival in the Arcana Land.

Was that Martial Venerable aura coming from the queen of the Baiyue Nation?

Xiao Luo wondered. However, before he could be one hundred percent sure, he avoided the powerful person. This was a Martial Venerable, and he had to be extremely cautious. If he antagonized that Martial Venerable, it would be quite troublesome because he still needed to leave the land using their teleportation portal.

He had better find the right person to ask!

He decided. Standing on the colored glazed roof, Xiao Luo looked around for someone and found a candidate soon enough.

That was a woman in close-fitting white clothes walking with quick steps on a path. She was wearing her black long hair in a bun, with a jade hairpin stuck in her hair. She did not pencil her eyebrows as they were already prominent enough. Her skin was so fair and smooth that she did not need any makeup. Her lips were as red as cherries. The silk belt around her waist accentuated her slim body nicely. A silver lock pendant hung on the necklace she was wearing around her neck, swaying and chiming as she walked.

She should be a maid in the imperial palace.

Xiao Luo guessed.

The moon attracted the maid’s attention. As she held a tray with liquor and food in her hands, she could not help but lift her head to appreciate the moon.

Before she knew it, Xiao Luo grasped her fair-skinned neck. In a panic, the tray of liquor and food fell to the ground. However, enclosed by Xiao Luo’s True Inner Force, they fell to the ground making no noise.

“Don’t scream. Otherwise, you will lose your life. Understood?” Xiao Luo rasped.

The maid was shaking, but she nodded to show that she understood him clearly.

Xiao Luo would never bully a woman. He let go of her as soon as she nodded so that she could breathe, but he never let his guard down. If the maid tried to scream, he would stun her immediately.

The maid did not recover from the shock for a while as she desperately gasped for air. Then she laid her crystal-clear eyes on Xiao Luo as if he was a rare thing.

“What are you staring at? Stop staring. Otherwise, I’ll dig your eyes out!”

Xiao Luo scowled in a fake raspy voice because her stare was making him quite self-conscious.
