Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress

Liu Rushuang and Han Moze’s eyes met. She furrowed her brows in a moment’s contemplation and smiled. “Whether it’s true or false, I’d like to go and take a look if I’m free.”

Han Moze curved his lips into a soft smile and looked at Liu Rushuang with a gaze as gentle as water. “Mhm. If you’d like to go one day, I’ll come with you.” He nodded understandingly.

After their meal, Han Moze sat behind the desk and evaluated the imperial memorials. Liu Rushuang laid on the sofa bed to make up for some lost sleep.

Every so often, Han Moze would glance over at Liu Rushuang with a warm glow in his eyes.

In the evening, Han Moze and Liu Rushuang arrived at Nangong Ba’s room.

Han Moze stuck dozens of thin, silver needles into Nangong Ba’s head, and he made Nangong Ba drink a bowl of black, murky medicinal soup.

After about eight minutes, black smoke drifted out of Nangong Ba’s mouth.

Han Moze slightly furrowed his sharp brows and placed a white porcelain bottle around Nangong Ba’s mouth.

The black smoke automatically drifted into the bottle.

Han Moze immediately covered the bottle tightly.

Nangong Ba’s eyelids blinked open and woke up to see an anxious look upon Liu Rushuang’s face. He instantly smiled. “Shuang’er, how long have I been unconscious?” He asked in an unusually soft voice.

Han Moze suddenly released a cold aura. Before Liu Rushuang could reply, he callously intervened, “You’re really something. The cat demon planted a parasite in you, then you turn around and attack Shuang’er and me.”

Planted a parasite? Nangong Ba blinked slowly, then looked at Liu Rushuang for confirmation.

Liu Rushuang nodded. “Yes, Nangong Ba. Whilst you were unconscious for days, the cat demon planted a parasite in you and brought you to the North Pole as a tool to defeat Ze and me. But in the end, Ze defeated them. Yesterday, we brought you to the palace.”

Nangong Ba’s beautiful, bewitching eyes looked deeply hurt. He nodded. “I see.”

Nangong Ba looked clearly pale in the face. His seductive eyes were naturally lilac, his sword-like brows arched, and his nose was tall and fair. He had thin, pink lips and facial features that stood out amongst the crowd. Liu Rushuang realized that every time she looked at Nangong Ba, she couldn’t take her eyes off of him. This was especially the case after he just smiled at her. He looked practically too beautiful.

Han Moze shot Liu Rushuang a glance, then silently twitched his lips. Did you need to smile at Nangong Ba? He bolted up and pulled Liu Rushuang into his arms and coldly told Nangong Ba, “Since you’re awake, leave the palace first thing tomorrow morning.”

 Nangong Ba looked at Liu Rushuang with smitten eyes and let out a subtle sigh. He was probably destined to be alone in this lifetime. The person he loved, didn’t love him. When will that kind of pain disappear?

 All of a sudden, Liu Rushuang remembered something. With a smile on her face, she reached both hands out. Large, fist sized balls appeared in each hand. One ball gradually turned pink and the other gradually turned blue.

Both Han Moze and Nangong Ba looked confused.

Liu Rushuang’s smile shone incredibly bright. “All thanks to my master, I was able to gather all this demon power.”

Then, she handed Nangong Ba a pink demon pill. “This demon pill is for you, Nangong Ba,” she said.

 She handed the other demon pill to Han Moze. This one’s for you, Ze,” she said with a smile.

She twirled both her hands again, and a large, red demon pill appeared in her palm. “This one’s for me.”

With dumbfounded looks on their faces, Han Moze and Nangong Ba looked at the demon pill in their hands.

Liu Rushuang raised her eyebrows and said, “Eat. Why aren’t you eating?”

Then, she raised the demon pill in her hand and ate it like it was meat. One bite at a time, it entered her stomach.
