Chapter 96: Two Groups Collide
Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress
There were shops on both sides and no where to retreat.
In actuality, if the group in front of them didnât look as grand as oneâs used during the Emperorâs excursions, then there would be enough space on the side to pass through.
On careful inspection, one could tell by the emblem on the troops and horses that they were from the nation of Donghua.
Donghua and Beiming were more or less powerful nations. Their Emperor was elderly and their heir was strong.
People of the Capital talked about the reason for their current excursion.
A guard wearing a red hat with embroidered gold flowers stood beside the luxurious palanquin. âFifth Princess, there is a palanquin up ahead, blocking our path,â he reported.
In that moment, people of the Capital realized that the person sitting in the palanquin was the princess. This time, it looked like the nation of Donghua came to visit for a political marriage.
Lying in the carriage, the Fifth Princess, Chu Qingchuan was being massaged by her servants when she heard the guardâs report. She gently parted her red lips and spoke with a pleasant voice. âI understand. You may leave.â
âYes, Fifth Princess,â responded the guard before he retreated to the side.
âWho is bold enough to block the Fifth Princess of Donghuaâs carriage?â Exclaimed General Zhao of Donghua in a loud, deep and resounding voice.
Nangong Ba heard all the commotion outside and pulled a chilling smile. Then, he turned to Liu Rushuang and softly said, âBaby, wait here for a moment. Iâll go sort out the situation outside before coming back in. Donât feel too lonely without me now.â
Liu Rushuang clenched her fists. Why did her body feel numb?
After Nangong Ba finished giving his extremely mushy orders, he quickly stepped off the palanquin.
On the ground, he looked over at the tough and muscular person with coarse eyebrows and big eyes. âWho did you say was bold?â He scoffed coldly.
General Zhaoâs body froze for a second when he saw Nangong Baâs extraordinary grandeur. But he continued to rebuke in anger when he figured that no matter how important he was, he couldnât possibly be more important than the princess.
âNaturally, I am referring to you, who is so bold as to block the path of the Fifth Princess of Donghuaâs palanquin. Hurry and turn back around, move aside! Otherwise, I wonât be polite with you.â
Nangong Ba smirked coldly, then waved an empty hand at general Zhao. A very faint gust of pink wind wafted by.
Completely unprepared, general Zhao inhaled it. All of a sudden, standing before him, Nangong Ba looked like an angel who he couldnât bear to be rude towards.
Nangong Ba looked at the mesmerised general Zhao and flatly asked, âWho did you say you wonât be polite with?â
General Zhao glared at Nangong Ba with his bewitched eyes and exclaimed, âI am at your service milord.â
Sitting in the carriage, the Fifth Princess Chu Qingchuan immediately couldnât just sit there any longer and stepped outside.
âSo pretty!â and âTruly beautiful!â, all the commoners complimented.
Chu Qingchuan wore a long, yellowish green dress which was tight on her waist and wrapped her breasts. On the outside, she wore a translucent, cyan light sash. She had a fringe with two long locks of hair which fell down her temple, and half her long hair flowed down behind her, as the other half was tied up in a bun. She wore a pair of pastel green pear blossom flowers on her ears. As for her physical appearance, she had thin sharp eyebrows, flirtatious and lustrous eyes, a tall elegant nose bridge, and full red lips. She looked completely refreshing and extraordinarily beautiful.
She did look pretty indeed, however Nangong Ba was used to seeing beautiful people like her. Theyâre only used to show off.
Chu Qingchuan looked over at Nangong Ba in front the troops who blocked her path, and her face froze. Although his eyes were covered, it hadnât the slightest affect on Nangong Baâs extremely demonic charm and formidable aura.
Standing outside the palanquin, Chu Qingchuanâs cheeks couldnât help but flush.
âThis here gentleman, I am passing through this road. Do you mind please moving aside?â She asked in an extremely virtuous and polite manner.
