While Liu Rushuang read the story for the children, a eunuch suddenly entered, reporting that Nangong Ba was seeking an audience.
Liu Rushuang quickly sent someone to let him in.
Nangong Ba entered the Dark Moon Palace. His lips twitched just then, since everything within sight was a dazzling gold—how cheesy!
Led by the handmaidens, he arrived at the rear chamber after walking for a bit, and saw for himself how vast it was!
Entering the adjoined chamber, he immediately found a single cradle at the center where two infants were sleeping. There were various tables and chairs placed beside it, and two racks.
"I have come to visit my godchildren, Fire Phoenix. I rushed here right after I received word."
Nangong Ba said, his smile widening as he entered—it was the same bright smile he showed at the Celestial Realm.
Then, before Liu Rushuang could respond, he headed straight to the cradle, studied the children for a while before flashing a sparkling smile, "These children are entire copies of you and Frost Dragon! There is such a strong resemblance!"
Blinking as a certain thought crossed his mind, he turned towards Liu Rushuang and asked, "Have you named the children? I won't stand as their godfather if their names aren't good!"
Meanwhile, Liu Rushuang already stood up and smiled breezily, "Phantom Fox... How long has it been—three or four months? I thought you forgot about me already."
Nangong Ba chuckled."You must be imagining things... how could I forget about you? You were my best companion. Remember how you were chasing and beating me up at the Celestial Realm? That pain is ingrained in my heart! I even remember that you did that a hundred and six times!"
Straightening his clothes, he took a sit at a nearby stool, pouring himself a cup of tea and savoring it.
It tasted a little bitter at first, but less so after a few more sips.
Liu Rushuang could not help laughing as well."Pfft... you actually remembered that! Did you think I wanted to do that? You were such a chatterbox back then as if you had gotten bored of life—of course I have to chase you down and beat you up!"
As she took a seat on another chair, Nangong Ba was sweating... while he was a chatterbox back then because he was mostly bored, and there was also a chance that he liked having her chase him down...
"That is why you need to maintain your stylishness, and don't be the lacking heir from before!" Liu Rushuang said seriously.
Nangong Ba clutched his own chest and retorted in seeming anguish, "Shuang'er, don't you know that those words hurt? My past was perfect, too!"
Liu Rushuang felt goosebumps just then, and promptly poked Nangong Ba on the forehead with her forehead."Enough! I'll beat you up if you stay like this!" She snapped through clenched teeth.
Nangong Ba rubbed his own forehead and shot her a glare of dissatisfaction.
Liu Rushuang compared his current image to his past image just then. She was beside herself with joy since they actually overlapped, since she preferred the cheerful, laughing Phantom Fox.
On the other hand, Nangong Ba had another sip of tea before pausing.
"Fire Phoenix, I intend to return to the Celestial Realm tomorrow." He then said solemnly.
Liu Rushuang spaced out then, and forced herself to nod after a long while, sighing, "It's fine. That's the home of us three in the first place."
"When would you return with Golden Scales?" Nangong Ba asked, smiling faintly while looking at her with a troubled gaze.
"I don't know... we'll see when the time comes!"
