The Empress's Gigolo

Chapter 735: The Roaring Emperor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The hamster in the empress’s hands started inhaling deeply to puff up like a balloon and roared even louder.

“Roar!”

Her hair and red dress fluttered due to the movement of the sound waves.

Ren Baqian, who was on top of a tree, covered his ears in alarm.

He had used a loudspeaker before to convince others and was more sensitive and knowledgeable about sound levels.

The roar of this hamster-like animal was around 170 decibels.

The buzz of a chainsaw is about 110 decibels and a jet plane is around 130.

The noise produced by launching a rocket is only about 160 to 170 decibels

In comparison, the roar of this hamster was louder than a rocket being launched.

170 decibels of noise could cause instant deafness and even death at close range.

Although it could only kill ordinary people, this was enough to show how powerful it was.

Even an Earth Wheel expert would be seriously harmed if this level of sound was heard at close range.

For example, Ren Baqian’s ears were buzzing after this roar and all other sounds became muffled.

He was more than 10 meters away and not in the path of the roar, yet he was still greatly affected.

One could imagine the impact to the empress who was carrying it.

Fortunately, the empress was incomparable to ordinary people. Although she received the full impact of the roar, she didn’t suffer any harm. Seeing it try to inhale deeply, the empress shook her hand, causing the hamster to immediately become like a deflated ball. Its partially inflated body returned to the original shape.

“Woof! Woof, woof!!” The bichi on the branch barked at the hamster. Presuming that everything had been settled, it entered the forest.

Ren Baqian and Lin Qiaole jumped down from the branches and landed beside the empress. Ren Baqian circled around the empress twice to inspect the hamster thoroughly before saying, “It’s male!”

“What’s male?” the empress asked in surprise.

“This fellow is male.” Ren Baqian pointed at the hamster in her hand.

The empress showed her displeasure.

Did you go around me a few times just to find out whether this is male or female?

You at (TLC. Not sure about this.) Qishui and the crow general every day, and the first thing you look for when seeing this animal was to find out its sex.

What kind of bizarre habit was this?

“This thing is really loud.” Ren Baqian looked at the hamster. It was indeed a hamster and looked similar to those found on Earth. Its mouth was shorter, it had two large incisors, and its cheeks were for storing food and quite droopy.

The only differences were the color of its fur coat and it size, which was much bigger.

At this moment, its eyes were spinning around as it tried to make sense of the situation.

“Let’s go back first,” the empress said as she held the hamster by the neck. She had not expected this creature to cause everyone to be jittery.

“Your Majesty, if this thing makes noise, it’s quite deadly. Better to be careful and kill it in order to prevent trouble,” Ren Baqian said. This animal was unlike other animals—even a whisper from it near your ears would be unbearable. It was simply too dangerous.

“Woof!”

Ren Baqin was surprised to hear this bark and thought that the bichi was back.

However, this sound was coming from that small thing before them.

“Woof, woof!!” That hamster seemed to understand what Ren Baqian was saying. It not only changed its roar to sound like the bichi, but also lowered its volume. It looked at the empress with brimming eyes and furiously wagged its tail.

In fact, its tail was very short and just a knob. It was more like it was shaking its butt than wagging its tail.

Not to mention other characteristics of this thing, but it seemed to have an inborn ability to please humans.

The empress instantly softened upon seeing this behavior.

Ladies can never resist furry animals.

It would have been a different matter if it had put up fierce resistance, but it looked pitiful and won the heart of the empress. She brought it in front of her face and said, “You seem to understand what people say. If you roar indiscriminately, no one can save you.”

The hamster shook its butt even faster.

“Let’s go back first,” the empress said.

On the way back to their original location, the three of them moved at a slower speed through the forest and saw many winged cavalry warriors waiting nervously for them.

When they saw the empress, everyone instantly rejoiced.

The xiong yan’s roaring had stopped, and they had not heard any sounds of fighting. They were making wild speculations and were relieved once they saw the empress.

The empress returned to her carriage and called for Gong Zheng and Ya Sheng. She let them see the hamster and asked, “Is this a xiong yan?”

“No!” Ya Sheng shook his head like a rattle.

“What is this then?”

“It looks like a male hamster!” Ya Sheng said carefully.

The empress was angry not because he said that it was a hamster, but because he said “male hamster.”

He was exactly the same as Ren Baqian.

“Why did Your Majesty bring back a hamster?” The two of them were puzzled.

“The roaring was coming from it,” Ren Baqian said casually from the side.

“That’s impossible!” Their immediate response was disbelief. How was it possible for this thing to roar so fiercely?

Having seen a xiong yan before, Ya Sheng was very sure that the roars they previously heard were definitely from a xiong yan.

“Are you doubting Her Majesty? Do you want to hear the roar?” Ren Baqian gave a sly smile.

“We don’t dare!” the two of them replied.

The hamster seemed to understand Ren Baqian and turned to look at the empress who was behind it.

“Roar,” the empress commanded coldly.

“Inhale!”

“Roar!”

It sounded like a rumble of thunder on the ground.

The roar of the hamster caused mayhem all around. The jumping goats galloped wildly all over the mountain with the winged cavalry warriors still mounted on them.

The only people remaining were the empress, Ren Baqian, Qing Yuan, Hong Luan, Lin Qiaole, and the two people standing in front of them.

Among them, Qing Yuan, Hong Luan, Gong Zheng, and Ya Sheng were the miserable looking ones.

Qing Luan and Hong Yuan were standing behind the hamster, but their power was too weak.

Gong Zheng and Ya Sheng were hit head on. It was as if they were struck by a hammer, forcing them to retreat a few steps as they staggered and lost control of their bodies.

The loud noise had momentarily damaged their sense of balance.

The hamster showed a triumphant look after roaring.

It had great confidence in its roar.

Ren Baqian lowered his hands that had been covering his ears and laughed at the two of them before asking, “How does it feel?”

“…” The two of them looked at Ren Baqian blankly. Their ears were buzzing, and they couldn’t hear what he was saying.

“Your noses are bleeding…” Ren Baqian pointed at them.

“Sh*t! Their eyes and ears are bleeding too.” Even Ren Baqian was taken aback.

Would the two of them suffer serious harm?

After seven or eight minutes, the two of them gradually recovered, proving that Ren Baqian was overreacting.

However, everyone still had to raise their voices while talking to them because these two couldn’t hear clearly otherwise.

“Tell me, how do I deal with you?” the empress asked as she put down the hamster.

From Ren Baqian’s point of view, the hamster was looking meek.

“Your Majesty, this hamster appears to be of some use. You might as well keep it,” Ren Baqian said.

In fact, it was far more than useful.

Gong Zheng was a Kismet Heaven expert, but a hamster who could do nothing but roar had caused him to lose his balance and bleed from his ears and nose.

This was a testament to the power of its roar.

It was practically a living acoustic weapon.

The next day, Ren Baqian was still worried that the hamster would find a chance to run away, but he gradually came to realize that not only did the hamster not run away at night, it was getting closer to people.

This included the empress, Ren Baqian, Qing Yuan, Hong Luan, and everyone else.

Qing Yuan and Hong Luan happily played with it and rubbed its belly incessantly.

It also liked to turn over on its belly to be petted even though Ren Baqian hit his little birdie…

This hamster seemed to have a natural tendency to ingratiate itself with people.

Ren Baqian named it “the roaring emperor!”

Ren Baqian felt that no other name was more appropriate.

Aside from this, he discovered that this hamster could imitate the calls of other animals.

It not only imitated the bark of the bichi, it could also bleat like a jumping sheep.

Its mimicry was so good that a person couldn’t differentiate it from a real jumping goat if they closed their eyes. Even the winged cavalry warriors couldn’t do so.

This made Ren Baqian suspect that it was initially imitating the roar of the xiong yan to frighten other animals such as the bichi, which led to the events that happened later.
