Chapter 732: Fake Honey is Harmful

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

In the evening, placed in front of Ren Baqian was a small bowl of dense and amber colored liquid that gave off an alluring fragrance.

The sweet and fragrant scent of flowers filled the entire house. One could even smell it outside the house, and it was truly mouth-watering. When the smell entered your nose, it felt as if it traveled to your brain, making your entire body feel as light as a feather and clearing away all the lethargy.

The hives of the Golden Ring bees were about half the size of a man. After cutting the hives open, they filled an entire jar with honey.

A bowl of Golden Ring bee honey could fetch 1,000 taels of gold from the Yun Nation. After some careful calculation, the 100,000 taels of silver than Ren Baqian paid for this jar of honey was definitely a worthy investment. Many of the winged cavalry warriors had a favorable impression of the honey as well.

The pair sat quietly in front of the table, each with a wooden bowl. They stared at the bowls as if they were performing some sort of pre-meal rite.

Ren Baqian remembered someone once said that there must be various routines in life to make ordinary life feel more different.

However, the difference here was that the empress had half a bowl of honey in front of her, whereas he had less than that.

Even though this honey was very precious, someone at his level couldn’t consume too much.

“Can we start eating?” the empress asked without even lifting her head. If Ren Baqian hadn’t stopped her, she would have long since devoured it…

This was actually her favorite dessert.

If she was made to choose between Ren Baqian and the dessert, she would probably ponder for a moment before choosing Ren Baqian.

If she were to choose between Tong Zhenye or any of the elders in the imperial court and the dessert, she would definitely choose the dessert without hesitation.

Being able to restrain herself for so long was the most that she had given in to Ren Baqian so far.

“Let’s dig in.” As soon as his voice sounded, the empress grabbed a piece of finger-sized, chocolate colored honeycomb, scooped up some honey, and put it into her mouth. This was followed by a crisp chewing sound, and she had an enchanted look on her face with her eyes closed.

Even though Ren Baqian was also extremely gluttonous, desserts weren’t as attractive to him as they were to the empress.

The honeycomb pieces were where the honey was extracted from. The people from the imperial kitchen had cut them into small pieces. Scooping up honey with these pieces and putting it into the mouth would release a combination of rich floral sweetness of various flowers, covering all of the taste buds.

Ren Baqian tasted it carefully and was actually able to pick out the fragrance of various flowers. The honey was sweet, yet not overbearing, and was extremely aromatic in the mouth. It made him feel as if he was experiencing the taste of spring.

Like biscuits, the honeycomb was slightly crispy and was rather fragrant. It was simply a perfect combination when paired with honey.

Ren Baqian couldn’t help but close his eyes as well, carefully experiencing the taste in his mouth. Even after swallowing it, the fragrance of the flowers and honey still lingered in the mouth. It felt as if the honey was still in the mouth, just missing the crispiness of the honeycomb, which he felt made the experience slightly incomplete.

When he took the second mouthful of honey, the feathery lightness that he felt when he smelled it earlier became more evident. He felt as if he was lighter by a fair bit.

After consuming most of the honey in his bowl, he felt as if he had become a deity and as if he could fly at any time. There was an indescribable sense of comfort and excitement that pierced his brain in waves. His ears seemed to be hearing sounds of music as well. It sounded like heaven and was 1,000 times better than him playing the erhu.

Ren Baqian shook his head to sober himself up. He looked at the empress, only to see that her bowl had been licked clean. Her face was flushed while her eyes looked a little hazy. It was as if she was drunk.

“Your Majesty has gotten drunk from drinking honey!” he teased.

Burp! For the first time ever, the empress belched, filling her entire mouth with the fragrance of flowers and honey. This made Ren Baqian feel like kissing her lips and finding out whether her red lips tasted as sweet as honey.

“This honey feels a little weird! It’s like drinking alcohol!” The empress tried to sober herself up, but somehow wasn’t able to.

Pulses of pleasurable sensations rushed to her head, and she left out a soft moan.

This moan sounded extremely alluring to Ren Baqian.

However, he still tried to focus his attention on the bowl in front of him.

“What a wonderful delicacy! If I were to bring this to Earth, countless people would be fighting over it!” Ren Baqian gave a thumbs-up. Previously, he had eaten the legendary bear paw delicacy when he was young. It was the front right paw, and the meat was extremely plump. It was said that his father’s classmates brought it back from Daxing’anling[1.Daxing’anling: a mountain range in northwestern Heilongjiang.]

However, that was nothing compared to this honey.

He took the last piece of honeycomb and carefully scooped up the remaining honey from the bowl without wasting a single bit. He then put it into his mouth, feeling perfectly satisfied.

When Ren Baqian finished eating it, he still felt that it wasn’t enough. However, he was content knowing that there was still a jar of it left.

He finally understood why the empress acted as if she was drunk.

He started to experience dizzy spells as well as double vision.

Not knowing whether it was an illusion, the bowl on the table suddenly moved toward the side. It was as if the bowl had legs and was trying to run away.

“You are trying to escape? Ha, let me see what exactly is trying to play tricks!” Ren Baqian burst into laughter. Seeing that the bowl was about to fall off the table, he suddenly stretched out his hands. However, he didn’t feel the bowl that he trying to catch and tumbled to the ground.

He froze for a while before taking a careful look at the table. That bowl was actually still at its original position, and it looked as if it hadn’t moved a single bit.

Refusing to believe it, he lifted the bowl and realized that there was nothing underneath.

“That’s strange!” Ren Baqian felt a little suspicious. When he lifted his head and looked at the empress, his gaze became transfixed on her.

She simply sat there staring blankly at him. The makeup on her face was still intact, and her blazing red lips were extremely alluring.

This made his adrenal glands become hyperactive.

Still hearing the sounds of heaven, Ren Baqian’s mood was brewing when an ineffable impulse suddenly overwhelmed him.

“Your Majesty…”

“Yeah?” The empress’s reaction sounded a little slow, but he disregarded it at this moment.

Ren Baqian walked around the table, held her face, and said, “You must taste very sweet now, Your Majesty.”

Before she could even reply, he lowered his head.

Very sweet indeed! This thought suddenly arose in his mind.

Their kiss was heart-rending and felt never-ending. Ren Baqian was reluctant to part with the empress’s lips and her hands were also placed on his waist.

This made it even harder for him to control himself.

Soon after, he lost consciousness…

Ren Baqian found himself on the bed when he woke up, and he was touching something soft.

Squeeze!

Squeeze!

Squeeze again!

The empress’s sweet-smelling breath brushed across his face.

From the glimmer of light in the house, he saw her lying beside him.

A red muslin cloth hung at the edge of the bed.

Half of her white undergarment was undone, revealing her well-endowed bosom.

Ren Baqian carefully moved his hand away as he glanced over repeatedly… It was as if he had just seen God’s greatest creation in this world, which made him cling onto this indulgence. He also felt as if a flame was burning in his chest.

“Oh!” The empress groaned softly and quickly turned around. After that, Ren Baqian immediately felt like he had been drenched in ice water! Frightened, the empress jumped off the bed, lay down on the floor, and closed her eyes while pretending to sleep.

Are you feeling angry and humiliated now that you are awake, Your Majesty?

I don’t know… I don’t know anything… What exactly happened? All I remember was giving you a kiss. What happened after that? Why can’t I recall?

Fake alcohol is harmful and fake honey is deadly! Damn it! There are problems with this honey. Why didn’t I realize it before? Such intense reactions, such pleasure and excitement, such feathery feelings, and such heavenly sounds. How could this be honey?”

Thoughts filled Ren Baqian’s frantic mind. The effects of this honey somewhat made him feel like it was some sort of banned substance on Earth.

He should have realized it earlier!

However, the excitement he felt when he ate the honey made him forget about this matter entirely.

The empress turned around. He immediately held his breath as his heart pounded nonstop.

Ren Baqian got out of bed and saw that the skin beneath her half-undone undergarment was stained with a rose colored layer. He didn’t notice that she was blushing from her neck to her ears.

Even though her eyes were closed shut, she quietly covered herself up with her shirt.
