The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

2512 Side Story 16: Love

Big Baby didn’t turn around.

Wind blew in from outside the window, sweeping up the corners of his purple robe as faint streaks of light disappeared.

After a while, he said, “Half a year later, I’ll go into seclusion.”

Chu Liuyue was stunned and thought to herself that he indeed had a plan. Except…

“Why half a year later?”

Big Baby finally turned his head halfway and raised his eyebrows slightly. His thick curly eyelashes trembled slightly, and a faint light flashed in his clear, pure, and slightly demonic eyes.

He didn’t say anything, but his gaze lingered on her abdomen for a moment.

Chu Liuyue: “…”

She ground her teeth. “I can teach them well myself!”

Big Baby said, “Oh?”

This sentence was clear and calm, even more casual than the previous rhetorical question. But from beginning to end, he was suspicious of Chu Liuyue.

Her forehead twitched. In the end, she held her forehead helplessly. “…Got it!”

It’s troublesome to teach me, but now he wants to take over the two babies? He is really… free!

After getting the answer he wanted, the corners of Big Baby’s lips curled up imperceptibly. Then, he walked out.

…

Several days passed in a row.

The entire Fantasy Divine Hall had already been reorganized.

Chu Liuyue finally moved back to her original residence. However… Rong Xiu also stayed in the Fantasy Divine Hall.

In the past 10,000 years, the Emperor rarely stepped foot in the Fantasy Divine Hall. Rong Xiu coming here caused people to be surprised that he would actually do such a thing.

Butu now that the Emperor and Goddess Yue were already husband and wife, and Goddess Yue was pregnant, there was nothing wrong with doing this.

…

In the courtyard, Xiao Ba was lying on a rattan chair. Her eyes were closed as if she were taking a nap.

“Eighth Sister.” Two voices sounded at the same time.

Xiao Ba opened her misty eyes and smiled when she saw who it was. “Sister Shiyi, Sister Shi’er, you’re here? Come over quickly!”

The two girls walked over, each carrying a basket.

When she saw what was inside, Xiao Ba’s beautiful eyes lit up. “This is—”

A fluffy, pink-white cluster of petals, gently falling and forming a perfectly blooming fragrant flower.

It was obvious that the petals had been carefully chosen. Every piece looked good.

Seeing that she was happy, Lady Shi’er smiled and said softly, “Eighth Sister, I heard that your injuries have healed. Sister and I thought that you liked these things the most, so we specially brought some over.”

Lady Shiyi nodded. “They’re all based on the criteria you had in the past.”

Xiao Ba sat up and held her heart with both hands, feeling extremely touched. “Sister Shiyi and Sister Shi’er treat me the best!”

The heavens have taken pity on me. I’ve been taking medicinal baths recently. Although it helps me recover from my injuries quickly, I feel like I have become a medicine jar when I smell this scent every day. I’m about to go crazy.

Now that my injuries have healed, these two people sent this over. It’s really to my liking!

She pinched the two girls’ faces gently and smiled as she took out a few bottles of pills and handed them over. “It’s indeed different now that you’re back. Our girls are getting prettier!”

However, their appetites were getting bigger and bigger. Fortunately, she was in charge of the medicinal mountain now, so it wasn’t a problem for her to take out these things.

Lady Shiyi’s eyes lit up. She didn’t stand on ceremony and took the bottles with both hands. “Thank you, Eighth Sister.”

She gave half to Lady Shi’er.

Seeing them like this, Xiao Ba asked, “Where’s Jian Fengchi? He hasn’t given you any refined pills recently?”

Although everything was settled now, Jian Fengchi seemed to be used to being squeezed dry. He could only accept his fate and give them some from time to time.

Lady Shi’er coughed and said softly, “…We just came from Eldest Young Master Jian’s place.”

Xiao Ba was stunned. “Eh, I heard you call him brother-in-law before?”

Of course, she was calling him brother-in-law because of Mu Hongyu.

Lady Shiyi said concisely, “To collect money.”

Xiao Ba was speechless. Forget it. Pretend I didn’t ask.

Lady Shi’er poured out a handful of pills and placed them in her palm. She pinched them one at a time and ate them.

As she ate, she asked, “But then again, I think Sister Hongyu always seems to be impatient with Eldest Young Master Jian… Can it work out in the end?”

“You don’t understand.” Lady Shiyi raised her head and downed a bottle. “A fierce woman is afraid of a clingy man.”

With Eldest Young Master Jian’s personality, he could grind people over.

Xiao Ba couldn’t help but laugh and gently knocked on Lady Shiyi. “Who did Sister Shiyi hear this from all day long?”

“Eldest Young Master Jian said so himself.”

“…” Xiao Ba held her forehead with a headache. These words might really come from him.

Lady Shi’er looked at her and asked for guidance. “Eighth Sister, your expression… What do you mean? Don’t you think highly of them?”

Xiao Ba laughed and tapped her chin with her slender and fair fingers. “Not at all. Do you think that if Hongyu wasn’t interested in him at all, she would’ve let him pester her for so long?”

Lady Shiyi and Lady Shi’er immediately agreed. “I see… But Eighth Sister, how did you know that Sister Hongyu likes him too?”

It was really hard to tell usually. After all, the two of them bickered all day long; it was difficult for them to even stay quietly for an hour.

Seeing their reaction, Xiao Ba couldn’t help but add with a smile, “If a person likes another person, they definitely can’t hide it. No matter how stupid they are, when they meet someone they like, they know what to do to please them.”

“Eighth Deity!” As she spoke, a young man’s voice suddenly came from outside.

The few of them turned around and saw a handsome man in his twenties.

When he saw Xiao Ba and the others looking in his direction, a hint of excitement appeared on his face. But perhaps because of their status as deities, he didn’t dare to act rashly.

He only bowed respectfully. “Eighth Deity, I’ve recently developed a new prescription. I wonder if I can show it to you?”

Xiao Ba rested her chin on her hand and sighed. “But if it’s someone you don’t like, it won’t be good. If too many such people come, it’ll be even worse.”

During this period of time, she had to reject countless such people every day. It was really annoying and harmful.

Lady Shiyi raised her voice and said, “No need! My Eighth Sister isn’t free!”

The man looked disappointed. He hesitated as if he was about to leave, but after taking two steps, he stopped.

He looked at Xiao Ba and asked hesitantly, “What kind of person does Eighth Deity like? I, I can change—”

Xiao Ba was rather helpless.

Now that the truth was out, even the fact that she had used Yan Qing as a shield was also known.

Everyone in the Fantasy Divine Palace already knew that the two of them weren’t related.

If she was the Left Divine General’s woman, no one would dare to have such thoughts. However, she wasn’t.

This time, they were really all here to woo her. It was so annoying.

Thinking of this, she was a little angry again.

This anger came inexplicably, but it was difficult to disperse.

The man refused to give up. “Eighth Deity, you’ll only know if you like me or not after spending time with me. After all, you and the Left Divine General aren’t mutually in love. Why don’t you—”

Xiao Ba suddenly stood up. These words sound so… unpleasant!
