The Genius System Without Equal

Chapter 806: Funing

Funing Palace was empty. The Queen of Baiyue Nation was nowhere to be found, even after searching every single corner.

“Where is she?” Xiao Luo turned around and questioned the mute maid.

The mute maid shook her head. She took out rice paper and a charcoal brush and wrote: “The Queen has gone to look for the Grand Master.”

Xiao Luo was exceedingly angry and said, “If she went to look for the Grand Master, then why did you bring me here? To look at the décor of Funing Palace?”

He was so angry he felt like slapping the mute maid. Didn’t she realize he was looking for the Queen of the Baiyue Nation, and not her private chamber?

The mute maid looked at him innocently and wrote on the paper: “Did you not ask me to bring you to the Queen’s chamber?”

What the f*ck!

Xiao Luo silently cursed her. He felt like the mute maid was playing him for the fool. He wanted nothing to do with the mute maid and wanted to leave right away.

The mute maid grabbed his sleeves and looked at him with a smile on her face.

“Stop annoying me. Let go!” said Xiao Luo.

He was in a terrible mood. His tone was extremely unfriendly and the look in his eyes was intimidating.

The mute maid shuddered when she looked at him and staggered back a few steps. It took a moment before she regained her courage, then using the charcoal brush again, she wrote: “Why are you looking for the Queen? Maybe I can help you.”

“Tears, I need her tears!” Xiao Luo scowled.

His request surprised the mute maid, and she laughed as she wrote: “The Queen collects her tears in the Holy Grail every time she cries, and the Grail is here. I will help you get a little.”

After writing that, she turned around and walked into the hall.

Hmm?

It was beyond Xiao Luo’s expectations. His aim was not to find the Queen of Baiyue Nation, but merely to get her tears. Now that the mute maid had mentioned where the Queen kept her tears, it would mean he could get some easily.

The mute maid walked out of the inner hall shortly after with a small and exquisite pill bottle in her hands. She raised her hands out toward Xiao Luo.

“The Queen of Baiyue Nation’s tears are in here?” Xiao Luo asked the maid, looking a little doubtful.

The mute maid nodded her head with a smile on her face. Then she wrote: “Did your friends eat the forbidden fruit by mistake?”

With the Queen of the Baiyue Nation’s tears in his hands, Xiao Luo was no longer as hostile toward her. He answered, “Mmm.”

“Then hurry and bring this to your friends. Once the fetus takes shape, they will need abortion pills instead.” The mute maid wrote.

Xiao Luo furrowed his brows and had a good look at the mute maid. He realized she was not an ordinary maid. Otherwise, there was no way she was knowledgeable about so many things. He said, “Go find some silver needles and bring them to me.”

The mute maid did not quite get what he meant and stared at him blankly.

“Forget it. Let me use your hair instead.”

Xiao Luo was hesitant to waste more time looking for silver needles. Instead, he pulled out two strands of hair from her head. After breaking the hair up, Xiao Luo infused them with True Inner Force, and they turned into what looked like sharp silver needles. He then tapped an acupuncture point on her body. The mute maid stood motionless. She looked petrified.

“Since you helped me find the Queen of Baiyue Nation’s tears, I will cure your illness for you. If my guess is correct, you must have experienced some trauma or some severe shock. It should be the reason you cannot talk. Right now, I am going to reactivate those nerves of yours. These nerves have failed to obey the commands coming from your brain.”

As he explained, Xiao Luo inserted the energized strands of hair, now as hard as the silver needles for acupuncture treatment, into the mute maid’s fair neck.

Stomach 9, Stomach 10, Large Intestine 18, Stomach 11. Xiao Luo inserted the “needles” into these different acupuncture points. He later inserted them into other points: Gall Bladder 12 behind the neck, then Gall Bladder 20, Du Mai 16, Du Mai 15, and finally Bladder 10. Each needle insertion was precise and deep, and the entire process was executed with incredible efficiency. At one go, from needle insertion to needle withdrawal, he completed everything in less than five breaths.

With one light tap, Xiao Luo released the acupuncture point on the mute maid’s body, and said, “You should be able to speak now.”

After saying that to her, his body slowly disappeared, and he left like a gust of wind.

“Wait up. You have not told me what your name is.”

The mute maid tried to chase after him and took a few steps forward. In the next second, she was shocked and coughed a little. With a look of disbelief on her face, she said, “I… I can talk now.”

THUMP. THUMP. THUMP.

She could hear heavy footsteps. The officers outside Funing Palace ran in after hearing the commotion.

“Your majesty?”

The officer in front looked at the mute maid and looked surprised. Then she said, “Did you not go off to look for the Grand Master?”

“I did. But I am back already.”

With her hands behind her back, the mute maid exuded a noble and elegant temperament from her entire body.

“Your majesty, you… you can talk now?”

The officer opened her eyes wide. Ever since her majesty received a terrible shock when she was ten, she had lost the ability to talk. Now, after nine years, her majesty could suddenly finally speak again. It was just unbelievable.

The other officers found it hard to believe as well and were all stunned.

The mute maid smiled and said, “I met a benefactor. He cured me. Right, call Grand Master Mother over. I have some things that I want to discuss with her.”

“Your majesty, I have some things that I want to discuss with you as well.”

At that moment, a burst of green smoke floated in from outside. The mute maid heard a beautiful voice. The cloud of green smoke turned into a person and appeared in front of the mute maid. It was a woman who looked to be in her thirties. She wore a white robe that touched the floor. With a sky crown on her head and a beautiful face, there was a charming aura exuding from her body.

After seeing the woman, the other officers prepared to take their leave.

“Grand Master Mother.” The mute maid greeted her happily.

“Funing, you can talk now?” Grand Master asked with astonishment. She thought she was hallucinating at first. She did not imagine Funing could speak again.

Funing nodded her head. Her clear eyes were full of joy, and she exclaimed, “Grand Master Mother, it was a man. He cured me.”

“A man?”

Suddenly, the look on Grand Master’s face sank. Then she said, “The reason I am here is to inform you about the man who invaded Baiyue Nation. According to General Zuomeng, this man teleported from another place, and his cultivation level is at the level of a Martial Emperor, at least.”

“A Martial Emperor?”

Funing recalled how Xiao Luo had flown across the sky with her earlier on. The corner of her lips curled up a little, and she grinned. “Seems like it must be him then.”

“Who is this ‘him’ you are referring to?”

“It is the man who cured me and gave me the ability to talk again,” Funing said.

“He was here just now?” Grand Master asked, shocked.

Funing nodded her head.

“To think that he came to the Royal Palace and left without a trace. Not even I noticed anything.”

The more she thought about it, the more worried the Grand Master was. She shouted out, “Guards, come in! Hurry and get in here!”

“Your majesty, Grand Master.” An officer rushed in quickly.

“Mobilize several troops and have them guard Funing Palace. Without my orders, not even a mosquito may enter,” Grand Master ordered.

“Understood.” The officer retreated after receiving the order.

“Grand Master Mother, surely there is no need for this?” asked Funing. She pouted and shook her head.

Grand Master glared at her sternly and said, “No need? Men are like tigers. They are like p
