Chapter 850 - A Flushed Face, a Love Affair

She thought that these things were fun to play with, but it would be great if they could last longer.

Although she disdained the short duration of the effects, Gu Bailu still bought a bunch of cheap and fun toys.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. This bottle is amazing. It can restore my youth. Let’s see what I look like as a child.” Gu Bailu raised a bottle and was about to bring it to her mouth.

Ye Ying stopped her anxiously. “Princess, you’re pregnant. You can’t eat random things.”

Gu Bailu blinked, then touched her belly. If she turned into a 3- or 4-year-old with a baby bump the size of a rubber ball, what a beautiful image that would be.

“Princess, if you become smaller, how can you keep the child in you? Wouldn’t that be...”

Gu Bailu was so scared that she threw the bottle away. “I really didn’t consider it. I forgot for one moment. Baby, don’t blame me.”

Ye Ying heaved a sigh of relief.

“Ye Ying, you try it. You’re so cute, you were definitely a porcelain doll when you were young.” Gu Bailu couldn’t try it on herself, so she turned elsewhere.

Ye Ying: “...”

“Princess, I... was ugly as a child.”

“Let me see how ugly.” Gu Bailu didn’t believe it. Ye Ying was a delicate and pretty person with clear and fair skin; it was just because she was from the Ye family that she had an expressionless face, and looked like an ice beauty.

“I... was really ugly. Don’t sully your eyes.”

“Tsk, what ugliness haven’t I seen before?” She had even seen that bunch of demonic beasts under the Bull Demon King.

Helpless, Ye Ying swallowed one of the pills. She instantly shrunk, until she was only as tall as Gu Bailu’s calf...

But! That face was so damn ugly!

Her skin was dark and her face looked like a pig’s after it had been rooting around in the dirt. Even plastic surgery wouldn’t be able to create such an ugly child.

Gu Bailu said with mixed feelings, “Ye Ying, you really changed.”

Fortunately, she had only bought the cheapest toy to play with. Ye Ying instantly changed back into her original appearance.

She was as fair and fresh as ever, and pleasing to the eye.

After being dealt that blow, Gu Bailu lost interest in testing the pills. She put them all into her sleeve. “Let’s go... I need some noodles to comfort my soul.”

Gu Bailu led Ye Ying out of the store. An old woman stopped her at the door. “My lady, I see from your flush that you’re going to be embroiled in a love affair soon.”

“Hehe...”

She was the founder of fortune-telling and divination arts, and she was stopped by a quack?

“Save it, old lady. When I was still fortune-telling on the streets, you hadn’t even been reincarnated yet!” Gu Bailu shook her off.

“Madam, you have some expertise, but you can’t predict your own life.” The old woman smiled at her.

Gu Bailu looked back at her and opened her Heavenly Eye to see who this old woman was and what her purpose was.

But she realized... she couldn’t see into the woman’s head.

It seemed she was someone important?

“Madam, your fate is intertwined with influential men who have the character ‘Yun’ in their names.” The old woman said, “You’ve already met two, but you haven’t met the most important one yet. It won’t be long, however.”

“What nonsense.” Gu Bailu frowned. Her husband’s name didn’t have ‘Yun’ in it.

“These are all unlucky love affairs, especially the last one; you must be careful.”

After the old woman finished speaking, she packed up her stall and left.

Gu Bailu found it baffling, but when she thought about it, men with ‘Yun’ in their names... Gu Yunjing, Bai Yunyi...

Wow, they all had the word ‘Yun.’n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As she walked, she wondered if she would really encounter yet another unlucky love affair? No way. With this big belly, who would like her?
