Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress

When Little White Flower suddenly remembered that Nangong Ba was the governor of Baiyun City, she smiled even wider since that meant they would now have money for food.

At the same time, Nangong Ba walked up to Liu Rushuang’s side, a perfect smile showing on his lips as he spoke softly, “Come have lunch with me, Shuang’er!”

With that, he said nothing else as he headed upstairs.

Liu Rushuang breathed a soft sight. It was really upsetting to be found by Blue Phantom, especially when she was feeling down in the dumps!

Nonetheless, she took Little White Flower by the hand and went upstairs with Nangong Ba to a room. It had everything a room should have: a balcony, a bed, a bench, chairs, book racks, table, a table for musical instruments and chest… it was simply extravagant!

No sooner had they entered that several waiters entered with trays, putting down the fine dishes before leaving reverently.

Both Liu Rushuang and Little White Flower took their seats.

“May I eat now, my lord?”

Little White Flower swallowed, already beside herself with craving as she stared at Nangong Ba with twinkling eyes.

“Of course you can. It’s my treat, too—you can eat as much as you want.”

Nangong Ba’s eyes that seemed to be dyed faintly with red rouge were overflowing with charm. His face was devilishly beautiful, leaving Little White Flower at a loss from just looking, and she was making heart shapes with her hands, just as it showed on her eyes.

“Shuang’er, you should eat too.”

Nangong Ba said, turning towards Liu Rushuang who appeared to be in a bad mood.

“Oh, okay.”

Liu Rushuang replied flatly, and lifted her chopsticks to have a taste of the various delicacies. The cloud over her mood was promptly lifted since it was too delicious!

After all, she was getting bored of the fish and meat served in the palace. Occasionally having these cheap and well-cooked dishes would taste incredible instead.

For example, these raw shreds of three different vegetables, and that cucumber seasoned with mature vinegar…

Still, Liu Rushuang did not wolf it down despite finding it tasty, and retained her appropriate, elegant manners.

“How does it taste?”

Nangong Ba asked her as they ate.

“Everything tastes so good, my lord! I’ve never had anything so tasty.”

Little White Flower happily answered when she heard Nangong Ba’s question. She had been savoring every dish, and her little face appeared quite funny with the piece of food sticking on it.

Nangong Ba smiled in satisfaction and then asked, “What do you think, Shuang’er?”

Liu Rushuang looked up at him to find an affectionate smile on his face.

Perhaps Blue Phantom was feeling friendly because he remembered the things that happened at the Celestial Realm.

“When are you returning to the Celestial Realm, Phantom Fox?”

They current cultivation is definitely enough to rise to the Celestial Realm. Still, while she and Ze were unwilling to cut their ties with the mortal realm, what about Blue Phantom?

Nangong Ba’s expression darkened and he paused for an instant, before saying, “I’m looking for my parents in this life.”

“Do you have any clues?” Liu Rushuang stared at Nangong Ba, blinking her beautifully eyes.

Nangong Ba sighed softly then. Picking up his cup and stylishly having a sip, he then said, “Not yet. But I’ll eventually find them.”

“Just tell me if there’s any help you need.” Liu Rushuang said after a while.

Nangong Ba’s smiled with his devilish good looks again and nodded, saying, “Thank you, Shuang’er.”

After that, the sounds that could only be heard in the room was them eating. Just as Liu Rushuang thought that this would continue for a while, Nangong Ba suddenly asked, “Shuang’er… a-are you pregnant?”

Liu Rushuang looked down at her swollen belly and stroked it, explaining lovingly, “Yes, I’m five months pregnant now… and I often feel as if these two are fighting inside.”
