Earth .

The apartment that Ren Baqian had rented all along, was originally empty . All of a sudden, two silhouettes appeared out of nowhere . If someone witnessed this, it would probably scare the living daylights out of them .

The two of them directly teleported over from the palace hall, and it was pitch dark . There was only a faint ray of light s.h.i.+ning from outside, and quite promptly, Ren Baqian realized that it was very late at night . When he felt that hand, which was holding onto his wrist release its grip, he turned around and switched on the lights .

In an instant, his apartment immediately lit up and Ren Baqian felt that it was somewhat glaring .

At this moment, the empress was wearing the same red dress she had worn when she returned previously to the other world . She was also wearing a pair of black flat shoes and seemed to have the vibe of a modern person .

It was just that her hair in a bun together with a golden hairpin were somewhat mismatched with the clothes she was currently wearing .

The empress appeared to be aware of this problem and took the hairpin off her head, letting her hair fall freely .

Ren Baqian looked at the clock on the wall and it was 1:20 AM .

At this moment, it was only around 8PM in Dayao .

The two of them still needed to adjust to the difference in time .

"Three days over here is equivalent to one day in Dayao," the empress eyed Ren Baqian and confirmed . She was already aware of this issue the previous time . Because after staying two and a half days on Earth, only twenty hours had pa.s.sed in Dayao .

Ren Baqian nodded .

"It is actually a good idea to cultivate here . However, Earth is too dirty," the empress said after thinking it through .

Her nose constantly felt uncomfortable the last time she had been here for a few days .

If it wasn't for her strong body const.i.tution, anyone else who suddenly came to such an environment would definitely contract rhinitis .

Ren Baqian spread open his hands and said, "This is an inevitable process of technological development . We gain some and lose some . Perhaps, in a few years' time, this world will return to its original state . "

It might be even better, or even worse . n.o.body could predict what would happen in the future .

However, along with the improvement in technology, people's understanding of the environment had also improved a lot . Ren Baqian was more inclined to believe that the future would be an even better place .

"Your Majesty, take a rest now . I will bring Your Majesty around tomorrow," Ren Baqian said .

. . .

The next morning, before Ren Baqian got up, the empress was already sitting on the sofa with her legs curled up while watching the news .

With regards to awareness of this world, besides what Ren Baqian had introduced her, the only other way she obtained information was from the news .

Ren Baqian leaned on the wall and looked at the empress who was sitting on the sofa . There was also this peculiar feeling in his heart .

It was the feeling of having a first love that came late .

Although he was very afraid of the empress in the beginning and also felt the empress's imposing and cold aura, but these days, such feelings had begun to fade . He would feel a rush of excitement every time he saw the empress .

Any guy would probably not reject such a woman who not only picked him as a husband, but also, retracted all her shrewdness .

"I am hungry . " The empress looked back at Ren Baqian's gaze .

"Okay . " Ren Baqian beamed, turned around, and headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast .

Ren Baqian prepared porridge before he fried eggs— he only had these ingredients at home . By now, the vegetables which he had bought when the empress was here the last time, had already rotted .

"Fire . " The empress's cold voice came through . Ren Baqian immediately turned around looked all over the place but there wasn't any sign of fire .

"Downstairs . " The empress said again and only then did Ren Baqian ran out of the kitchen . As expected, there was already smoke rising from the apartment downstairs .

Ren Baqian was unsure if there was anyone downstairs . He hurriedly ran up and called the fire department . At the same time, he rested his upper body on the window and looked downwards . It was the unit right below his, on the sixth story .

Ren Baqian also saw that there was someone leaning out of the window . It was a woman .

"I have already called the fire department," Ren Baqian shouted .

"Save me, I can't open the door and can't run out . I beg you to pa.s.s me a rope," the woman downstairs looked up and begged him earnestly .

From her voice, she didn't sounded old . But, he couldn't tell from her appearance as the smoke had already blackened her entire face .

Ren Baqian turned his head to take a look, why would he have a rope at his apartment .

"Your Majesty, can you help me out?" Ren Baqian turned his head and asked the empress .

Even though he didn't know the household downstairs, he couldn't possibly let a woman face such a huge fire alone . It was just a very slight effort needed from him . If he could save someone, he should definitely do so . After all, he was a good Samaritan .

The empress's emotions were stirred . The person downstairs wasn't an aboriginal . Furthermore, she heard the voice, and it was a woman .

However, since Ren Baqian requested it, she nodded her head nevertheless .

"I will have to inconvenience Your Majesty to break open the door . " Ren Baqian expressed his grat.i.tude . Then, he hurriedly ran out to the corridor and opened the fire hydrant cabinet to take the fire extinguisher out . After which, he ran to the sixth story .

The empress followed closely behind him .

By this time, there was already someone at the sixth story . It was unknown whether this person was from next door or from downstairs . A middle-aged man was using a hammer to smash open the door lock .

"Allow me . " Seeing the situation, he placed the fire extinguisher aside . At first, he thought of getting the empress's help to break the door lock into pieces with just a slap . But presently, there was somebody else present, and he couldn't deal with the issue that way .

Luckily, he could exert about 700 newtons of force and felt that he should be slightly stronger than that middle aged man . He grabbed the hammer from the middle-aged man and after two pounds, he smashed the k.n.o.b that was already somewhat tottering . But after smas.h.i.+ng it, the door was still unopened . He only managed to smash the k.n.o.b, that's all .

"There's someone inside . Is there a rope, I will slip the rope in for her to climb out," Ren Baqian told the middle-aged man .

"I have a rope . " After getting the hammer s.n.a.t.c.hed by Ren Baqian and turning to see the empress dressed in red, the middle-aged man couldn't take his eyes off her .

Until the empress's expression began to turn so cold that the middle aged man s.h.i.+vered, he didn't know why the feeling of fear began to emerge in his heart and subconsciously s.h.i.+fted his gaze away .

At this moment, he heard what Ren Baqian said and immediately responded . Following which, he hurriedly ran downstairs to retrieve the rope .

After he left, a spotlessly white hand swatted at the position of the door lock . A "bang" was heard and the chain, with the iron around it immediately dented . Soon after, the components of the lock flew into the house .

After swatting, the empress turned around and walked away . Ren Baqian remained expressionless for a while before he reached out and pulled the door open . Flumes of thick smoke and flames directly spurt out, and the shoe cabinet at the doorway had caught fire as well .

Ren Baqian couldn't care less about other stuff and immediately used the fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire .

That middle aged man came back with a rope in his hand and realized that the door was already open . He was momentarily stunned but promptly picked up the nearest fire extinguisher, and began to aid Ren Baqian's effort .

After exhausting two canisters of fire extinguisher, the flames in the living room had been put out . Only the kitchen was still on fire . A girl came running out with her face full of soot . Following which she knelt on the ground and gasped for air .

"Waaaaaaa! I thought I was going to die just now . " That girl wailed loudly . At this moment, Ren Baqian heard her voice and looking at her, he reckoned that she was only about seventeen or eighteen years old .

"Fortunately, you are fine . The fire department will be here right away," Ren Baqian casually said . Since she was fine, there wasn't a need for him to stay any longer .

When Ren Baqian returned to his apartment, the empress was already sitting on the sofa . She only shot a glance at him when he came back .

Ren Baqian looked at the porridge, and fortunately, nothing happened to it .

He went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror . His face was filled soot, and black and white lines alternated across it .

By the time he finished was.h.i.+ng up and changing into a fresh set of clothes, the fire department had already arrived .

Ren Baqian and the empress were quietly having their breakfast while a group of people gathered downstairs after the fire was put out . They were discussing how the entrance door became like that . The original placement of the handle had been completely smashed inwards, and a big portion of the entrance door was concaved .

Even if a sledgehammer was used on such a door, it was impossible to smash it till it reached this state . Not to mention that a single-handed, ordinary hammer was used .

After they finished their meal, Ren Baqian tidied up the bowls and chopsticks . Then, he took out his phone and made a call . Now, the empress required an ident.i.ty card . Otherwise, trouble would become a constant companion .

"I need to buy an ident.i.ty, a real ident.i.ty . I don't want a fake one," Ren Baqian began to speak once the call got through .

"We don't do such business . " On the other end of the phone was the place that Ren Baqian had bought his guns from the previous two times . Ren Baqian really didn't want to trouble Chen Qing anymore . Since the other party could set up a firearms business privately in the country, his connections would presumably be wide enough . Settling an ident.i.ty card shouldn't be a big issue .

In any case, Ren Baqian didn't have the right social connections . He had the money but didn't know who should he stuff it towards . Also, he didn't have the time to bribe these people .

"20,000 yuan . You just have to tell me who should I look for . After that, inform the person about this issue first . "

The other party remained silent for a while before saying, "Okay . "

In order to get a real ident.i.ty, he would need to provide the other party with things like the empress's name and photograph . And even though the other party seemed like intelligent people, Ren Baqian still couldn't trust them and was afraid of getting into trouble later on . Most importantly, people would be very wary just based on the nature of business alone .

The other party had to find someone that was within the nation's system . So long as they followed the procedures of registering an unregistered resident and created a legal ident.i.ty for the empress, it would save them a lot of trouble in the future .
