Tuoba Rui shook his head, he did not dare disagree. Ever since he knew that he wanted a little boy like Hua Ruge, he had always wanted one.
After that, the two of them walked around the street for a bit. At this time, the restaurants and tea shops of the Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce had all opened up, and there were even many storytellers inside. It seemed that the business wasn't bad.
"I'll tell you, the people here either don't want to amuse themselves, or they don't have a suitable place." Therefore, Hua Ruge grabbed Tuoba Rui's arm and said: "Let's go, let's drink some tea and listen to the books."
Because she had no appetite these days, tea was a good pastime.
Seeing her happy expression, Tuoba Rui felt that it might be better for her to come out and visit everyday. So he said, "If you like it, you can come out everyday.
"What?" Hua Ruge saw him turn his mouth and his eyes lit up.
Tuoba Rui looked at her and said seriously: "Bring me."
Hua Ruge immediately laughed, and said: "No problem."
After that, the two of them entered the tea house. Here, one could hear the sounds of books on the first floor. The second floor was a quiet and elegant room. The two of them chose a corner seat.
The waiter called over. Tuoba Rui ordered two cups of tea while Hua Ruge ordered some melon seeds, marzipan, candied fruits and other snacks.
After a while, the tea and snacks were served. The two of them drank their tea and listened to a story. This part was also a myth. It was about a great war between gods and demons. It was the story of the great war between the Fire Gods and the Demon Gods.
Because it was a story, it didn't make sense, but Hua Ruge still listened with relish, listening while saying, "This demon god sounds very heroic, I've always admired those kind of upright and upright heroes, just that I don't know if this person really existed."
Tuoba Rui nodded once, "It just sounds like a tragic hero to me."
"I reckon that the person who wrote the story was targeting this demon god. The Fire God didn't even have a basic sense of shame for him to have a positive character." Hua Ruge expressed his unwillingness.
"I think I should write it in reverse, too." Tuoba Rui continued.
Hua Ruge watched as his thoughts followed the character in the story, and in the blink of an eye, an entire afternoon had passed. He had drank a lot of tea, and had long since finished all the snacks on the table.
The story was very long and had not yet been told. If he wanted to hear it, he would have to come back the next day.
Hua Ruge rubbed his stomach which had been soaked in tea and went out, crying out injustice as he walked: "The Demon God is just a bit lacking in mental faculties, if I was by his side I would definitely let the Fire God play me to death."
Tuoba Rui laughed when he heard it, "You also said that the Demon God was heroic, so you naturally do not want to use any methods."
Hua Ruge nodded, "That's true."
"Will you come back tomorrow?" Tuoba Rui asked.
"Let's go." Hua Ruge answered very straightforwardly.
Tuoba Rui smiled and replied: "Okay."
From then on, Hua Ruge could no longer stay on the mountain. Every day, he would drag Tuoba Rui down the mountain to listen to books.
During this period of time, the news of Hua Ruge's pregnancy had spread out, and because of the big commotion she caused recently, people had been paying extra attention to her news, which quickly spread across the entire territory.
These people knew that their strength would decrease after they became pregnant, but still no one dared to hit her, because that Tuoba Rui was too scary. They couldn't get past him, so they obediently gifted him a gift.
Those who didn't know, large and small sects, upon hearing about this all brought over quite a few things. They didn't seek to close the distance between them, but they hoped that they wouldn't disrespect the Nine Prefectures Pavilion if they lost the etiquette.
With the development of Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce on a large scale, people were especially fearful towards Nine Prefectures Pavilion. Pure wealth was not scary, and having the strength to make as much money as possible, that meant they had the ability to smash whoever they wanted to smash, who wouldn't be afraid of that?
Normally, he wouldn't be able to find an opportunity to curry favor with them, but now, he finally had an opportunity. Naturally, he had to seize it.
Therefore, every time Hua Ruge descended the mountain, she would be able to see the many gifts being brought in. With her divine sense, she would find that they were all pretty good items, and she said with bright eyes: "I seem to have found a way to become rich."
Tuoba Rui indifferently swept her with his gaze and asked: "Are you giving birth to a child?"
"Yeah, think about it. If you give away your pregnancy, do you want to give it to me when I'm born? Should I send them off every day? " Hua Ruge felt that these two strokes were more or less enough, and said: "Our territory has over a thousand sects of all sizes, and if we just send them out a few times, we will definitely get rich."
"Stop thinking about it. Let's give birth to this one. I don't want anything from now on." Tuoba Rui insisted.
He didn't want to see Hua Ruge not being able to eat anything all day. No matter what kind of food he tried, she would only be able to eat a few bites, and sometimes she would even vomit after smelling it.
Hua Ruge thought about it and said, "Isn't it too lonely to have one? I still want to have one more."
Tuoba Rui firmly shook his head: "No, this child does not lack people to accompany him or to love him."
"That's true. There are only a few elders and a lot of uncles and aunties." Hua Ruge thought for a while, then said: "Based on our rate of development, wouldn't we children be able to walk unhindered in a few years?"
"More or less." Tuoba Rui said.
Hua Ruge scratched his chin: "With so many people protecting me, wouldn't I be able to raise a lawless little devil?"
"Sounds good." Tuoba Rui nodded.
"I think it's better to have a high and cold one. If it was me, then it wouldn't be enough." Hua Ruge said again.
"I like you more." Tuoba Rui looked at her and said.
Hua Ruge laughed until his eyes curved, "You must be here for my confession."
"Yes." Tuoba Rui continued: "I just like you."
Hua Ruge looked at the love in his eyes, and felt that his heart was about to melt.
Tuoba Rui laughed, and held her hand as they walked towards the teahouse.
Hua Ruge was in a infatuation for a while, and said to the child in her stomach silently: "Child, did you see that? Mother is still very capable, to have such a father for you, are you satisfied?"
Of course, the child in her womb couldn't answer her.
The two of them walked into the teahouse, and continued to listen to the story of the Great Demonic God's War. This time, when talking about the Fire God's use of his woman to lure the Demon God, Hua Ruge really wanted to know how this Demon Lord was unable to pass the Beauty Trial.
When the tea was served, she listened with interest.
At this moment, a plump man walked into the teahouse. Upon entering, he flashed his alchemist identity token and said arrogantly, "Waiter, please make me a pot of the best tea."
The voice was not soft, and even the storyteller was interrupted by him. The customers in the teahouse all revealed an unhappy expression, but because he was a pill refiner, no one dared to say anything.
Seeing that, Hua Ruge laughed, and said: "That fatty, your old disease is acting up again right?"
When the fatty heard this voice, he felt that it sounded familiar. He turned his head and saw that Hua Ruge was sitting upright in the corner, his eyes immediately lit up. "Master, I was just about to go up the mountain to find you.
The fatty's voice was overjoyed. The other person was Ji Ming, who was left behind to guard the house.
Hua Ruge pressed his hands together: "Be quiet, sit down and speak, do not disturb others who are listening."
Although Ji Ming was a hypocrite, he was still as obedient as a kitten in front of Hua Ruge. He quickly sat down and even quieted down.
When the waiter served tea again, he was polite to him and no longer had the bearing of an apothecary.
Although people found this somewhat strange, they were all attracted by the story. After a few glances, they continued to listen to the story. At this moment, they were talking about the meeting between the demonic god and the girl.
Ji Ming was about to speak, but he was stopped by Hua Ruge who waved his hand, "Don't speak for now, let's talk after you've finished listening to the book."
Ji Ming nodded his head innocently, then became quiet, no longer daring to speak anymore, only his focus was not on the story, he first cupped his hands towards Tuoba Rui, and then looked at Hua Ruge's stomach.2
He came here because he heard that his master was pregnant and was thirsty for some tea, but he didn't expect to run into one.
