The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

2521 Side Story 25: Refuse

Rong Xiu was speechless.

Chu Liuyue: “…”

Shangguan Jing stuffed the shoes into Chu Liuyue’s hand as he waved. “How can you!?”

What are the chances!?

Big Baby’s gaze turned, and he saw Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu holding items. He looked delighted for once. “The items aren’t bad.”

Chu Liuyue took a deep breath in and decided not to fight with them on the matter. At the beginning, they said both girls and boys were fine. In the end? Looking at the presents they gave, their intentions… are easily revealed.

Big Baby sat opposite Chu Liuyue.

The crowd knew that he was starting his daily prenatal teaching.

Chu Liuyue put away the items.

Big Baby had already raised his hand and outlined a chessboard.

The remaining few people did not leave and planned to watch the duel.

However, Chu Liuyue suddenly thought of something, looked at Rong Xiu, and said, “Does the Left Divine General really not need anyone’s help?”

Rong Xiu curled his lips into a half-smile. “Nope. He’ll be back soon.”

Chu Liuyue thought for a while and could faintly guess Rong Xiu’s intentions—he wanted them to solve it themselves.

That isn’t bad. It is indeed hard for others to intervene in matters of the heart.

She smiled. “Then, I’ll have to wait for a while before I can have the Left Divine General as my subordinate.”

Rong Xiu raised his brows, picked up the teacup, and sipped on the tea. “Not exactly.”

…

Xiao Ba slept for a while. When she woke up, it was already evening.

She glanced outside.

The courtyard was very quiet, and nobody came.

She became upset. She didn’t know if she was angry that nobody came or whether she was angry at herself for actually waiting for someone.

She grunted, lowering her head and glancing at her ankle.

Actually, it wasn’t very serious; she just had to rest for a day or two. Even if it were last night, she definitely could stand up.

From the corner of her eyes, she saw the shoes neatly placed together.

She knitted her brows and walked over to throw the shoes. However, she suddenly stopped her actions.

After feeling conflicted for some time, she placed the shoes back.

She came to the dressing table and looked at the person in the mirror.

Perhaps because she didn’t rest well, but there were still hints of lethargy on her face, and her hair was messy. It seemed that she was far from her usual vibrant appearance.

Xiao Ba clenched her teeth. Dislike me if you wish! There are so many men in the world, yet I chose the one with the worst taste. Who can I blame? I can’t hang myself dead on a tree. Yan Qing has no interest in me. Then, I’ll just not like him. It’s just a man after all. What’s the big deal?

“Sigh, it was better in the past…” She held her chin with one hand and missed her past days of freedom. Luckily, not many people know of this, so it isn’t too humiliating.

There are so many people that like me. Why must I obsess over Yan Qing? It will be better after a while. Thinking of this, Xiao Ba was suddenly positive and was in a much better mood.

She looked at the person in the copper mirror, blinked, and revealed a flirtatious and genuine smile.

Even if she still looked tired, her appearance was charming. If she tidied herself properly, she would look even better.

She stood up, her figure curvy.

“I can’t delay my beauty,” muttered Xiao Ba lightly.

Not knowing who she was talking to, she grunted. “You will regret this one day!”

…

The next morning, Xiao Ba got ready and left the house energized.

She was a heavenly doctor herself and naturally knew how to handle her own wounds. Hence, she had basically recovered.

She slowly went to the medicinal mountain.

Shi Fang was cutting the grass on a mountain when she heard sounds from behind her.

He turned around curiously and immediately understood what had happened. Xiao Ba was too pretty today.

She already looked beautiful. When they saw her today, she completely revealed an unconcealable charm from head to toe.

The sun shone on her, and she seemed especially gentle.

She slowly walked over and easily stole everyone’s gazes.

“Eighth Deity, you seem especially good looking today!”

“I think so too… Probably because your previous wound has healed?”

“I think so.”

“Sigh, Eighth Deity is such a beauty. I wonder who will benefit from it. There are so many people who are trying to please her, but she doesn’t like any of them.”

…

Shi Fang welcomed her and sized her up several times. “Eighth Sister, you’re better already?”

Xiao Ba smiled, and quite a few people in the surroundings were stunned.

She softly said, “Yup.”

Shi Fang relaxed and was rather curious. “Even if you’re fine, Eighth Sister, you can just rest. Why… did you come over today?”

According to his understanding of his Eighth Sister, she would be lazy if she could. Why did she suddenly dress up prettily and come to the medicinal mountain?

This wasn’t to say that she was not pretty before, but today… Her beauty had a hint of attack.

Xiao Ba slowly said, “Nothing much. I was just thinking that you had been in charge of the medicinal mountain the entire time, so I should come over.”

Shi Fang’s lips moved, but he still swallowed the words in his throat. Mm, although Eighth Sister is speaking with a smile, I instinctively feel that it is better not to offend her.

She was eye-catchingly pretty, and she faintly had hints of combat intent.

Combat intent? Who is she fighting with?

Shi Fang did not quite understand, but he did not ask in detail. After busying himself in the medicinal mountain, he had a higher desire for survival.

“I’ll leave you alone. I’ll walk around.”

Xiao Ba clearly did not plan to help Shi Fang deal with the mess. Then, she slowly walked far away.

…

Of course, Xiao Ba intentionally dolled herself up.

Originally, she wanted to let Yan Qing see that many people liked her even if he did not. In the end, she walked half the Fantasy Divine Palace, but she did not see him.

At night, she unintentionally realized that he had actually left the Fantasy Divine Palace and went to the God Residence Realm.

She busied herself for nothing.

Xiao Ba sat in the house and harshly pulled at the petals. I walked until my feet hurt! Who knew that he wasn’t around?

She looked up in frustration.

There were many gifts in the courtyard, but she did not like them.

Actually, she had also been looking at people the entire time. She thought that since there were many people in the Fantasy Divine Palace, she could definitely find a few she liked. In the end, for some reason, she didn’t really like all those far and near to her.

She only glanced at some of them and had found a few of their flaws.

Those who were good looking weren’t strong enough.

Those who were strong did not have a suitable aura.

Anyway…

“How annoying!” Xiao Ba suddenly stood up and turned around to sleep.

…

Ten days passed in a flash.

Yan Qing had not come back the entire time and had not much news.

Of course, if Xiao Ba wanted to find out, she could know a thing or two. However, she refused and suppressed it.

Today, she wanted to head over to Chu Liuyue as usual. Halfway there, she heard some commotion from the Heaven Gate.

Her heart tingled as she instinctively looked over.
