But if they got fat… they would despise themselves in the future.
The beauties fell to the ground, feeling that the world had turned dark.
Bu Yaolian didn’t know that she had KO’ed a bunch of beauties in the rear court after going out for a walk.
She had casually taken care of the beauties in the rear court of Su Shenfan’s stronghold.
She slept until dawn and felt much better.
Seeing that her complexion looked good, Su Shenfan prepared for their return to Pale Emperor City.
He hadn’t seen the supreme pill even though it had been days since they stole it, which gave him no sense of achievement.
Also, he was only truly safe in Feng Qingtian’s territory.
Bu Yaolian was truly happy to know that they were going back. She had to go back and ask Gu Bailu what to do next.
Su Shenfan wasn’t in a good mood because of the matter with Madam Bai Qiu.
He felt that it was a slap in his face that the woman he doted on was bullied.
Bu Yaolian, on the other hand, didn’t seem to care at all, which made Su Shenfan even angrier when he saw her. He pressed her down in the carriage several times.
Despite being chased and battling it out several times, Gu Bailu and the others returned to Pale Emperor City smoothly.
With Gu Bailu’s immunity runes, the Archfiend’s ghost army was truly half-destroyed.
Gu Bailu returned to Prince Zi’s residence in Pale Emperor City on the eighth day of the new year.
“We’re finally back.” It had been an urgent trip, but everything was done.
Feng Qingtian helped her take a bath.
She couldn’t even bathe herself with her current physique, and Feng Qingtian didn’t want anyone else to touch her, not even Ah Luo.
So, he could only do it himself.
Gu Bailu was happy to let him serve her. Pregnancy wasn’t her matter alone to begin with, so she had to torture the man now.
Naturally, Feng Qingtian didn’t complain.
“My lord, do you want an imperial doctor to examine you? It’s better to take some medicine,” Gu Bailu said to Feng Qingtian as she ate the bird’s nest.
Feng Qingtian had been hit by the Archfiend back then. Although he had already eaten Gu Bailu’s Dragon Blood Pill, she was still afraid that there would be repercussions.
No matter how strong Feng Qingtian was, he was still human.
“It’s fine. I’m fine now. Don’t worry about me.” Feng Qingtian thought for a moment and said, “In case something happens, you better eat the supreme pill.”
Gu Bailu frowned. “Can this be eaten directly? Will it be too strong?”
“I’ll ask the Grand Tutor tomorrow. If it’s possible, you can just eat it.”
Gu Bailu shook her head. “It’s such a big pill, it’ll be a waste for me to eat all of it. You must have some of it. Also, Shao Zun, Qian’er, and the others have a share. We can’t eat it all.”
Feng Qingtian rubbed her head. “Then do as you deem fit. It’s good to give them some. We’ll need their strength when we go to Heavenly Palace Cliff.”
Gu Bailu gave him the bowl. “I can’t eat anymore.”
Feng Qingtian put the bowl on the table and helped her to the bed. “Let’s rest for today. We’ll talk tomorrow.”
“Mm.”
The bigger the baby got, the more restless it became. Gu Bailu often woke up in the middle of the night when the baby in her womb kicked her. The baby was getting more and more noisy, as if it was anxious to get out.
Feng Qingtian had to stroke her belly for half the night so that she could sleep soundly.
The next day, Feng Qingtian asked the Grand Tutor about the supreme pill.
The Grand Tutor was shocked. “People outside are saying that you and the princess stole the Cloud Rising Emperor’s supreme pill. So it’s true?”
