Chapter 1536: For the Child’s Next Meal
Zhi’er slightly nodded: "I have use for it, can you help me get some?"
She doesn’t plan to tell anyone about her pregnancy.
Lu Wang thought for a moment: "No problem, although Mutual Grass only blooms behind Lord Demon’s palace, the guard of that mountain is on good terms with me, I can go get a few without being discovered."
Zhi’er smiled awkwardly: "Not just a few, could you... give me a little more?"
Lu Wang scratched his cheek: "How much do you need?"
"Uh... as much as you can pick," Zhi’er felt quite embarrassed.
Luckily, Lu Wang was never the kind to pry, he didn’t question Zhi’er about what she needed so much Mutual Grass for.
After readily agreeing, he returned to the Demon World from the nine layered heaven the next day.
Along the way, he encountered familiar faces from the Demon World, who didn’t give him a hard time.
But there was inevitably a tone of teasing: "Tsk tsk, isn’t this the nine layered heaven’s Immortal Son-in-law? How come you’ve managed to return and check on your brothers?"
Lu Wang replied blandly: "Don’t speak nonsense, tarnishing A ruo, nor accuse me of anything, I haven’t done anything to betray the Demon World, and Lord Demon has never blamed me."
After saying that, he left straight away, and a few Demons exchanged glances, clicking their tongues.
Lu Wang was afraid of running into Feng Fuce, as he wasn’t good at lying, and feared Feng Fuce asking him what the Mutual Grass was for.
Therefore, he had asked around among familiar buddies beforehand.
Lately, Lord Demon wasn’t in the Demon World, so Lu Wang chose to come today.
However, Lu Wang never expected that just as he stepped near Feng Fuce’s flaming red palace.
An icy and familiar voice called from the air —
"Lu Wang, enter the palace."
Lu Wang gasped.
Lord Demon isn’t supposed to be out?!
Helplessly, he had no choice but to resign himself and enter the great hall.
In the hall, Feng Fuce donned a red-black robe, wore a jade crown, and the curved red mark on his brow made him appear domineering and unruly, while his subtle gaze radiated indifference to life.
Lu Wang knelt on the ground to pay his respects: "Greetings to Lord Demon."
"You were sneaking about, trying to break through to my back mountain, what are you up to?" Feng Fuce asked.
Lu Wang hesitated for a moment: "This..."
𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
He had always been loyal to Feng Fuce, scarcely having lied.
But Zhi’er had also instructed him that this matter was too secretive, asking him not to mention it to anyone.
Thus, Lu Wang felt like crying without tears.
Stuck between these two people, he found it so difficult!
Feng Fuce raised an eyebrow: "You don’t want to say?"
Lu Wang hurriedly clasped his hands: "To Lord Demon, I shouldn’t be hiding anything, but Heavenly Dao Emperor said this matter is too private, so please let me keep it confidential..."
"What matter?" Feng Fuce asked again.
Lu Wang’s scalp tingled.
He had already said it was too private, why did Lord Demon still press on!
He truly didn’t know how to lie!
"It’s... Mutual Grass, Your Majesty wants some."
Whether it was Lu Wang’s illusion, after saying this sentence, Feng Fuce was silent for a long time, the temperature in the hall somehow turned chilly and gloomy, like a snowy winter.
Lu Wang swallowed difficultly.
Just then, Feng Fuce finally spoke.
"It can be given to her, but it must be done a different way."
Lu Wang looked up, feeling puzzled: "Ah?"
Two hours later.
In the immortal palace, Zhi’er saw Lu Wang return empty-handed.
"What’s going on? Did something go wrong?" she asked with concern.
Lu Wang’s expression was somewhat guilty and darkened.
Half lowering his head, he said: "Well... Your Majesty, I might... I can’t steal it out alone."
Zhi’er was taken aback.
"You need a helper?"
"Yes, because to go to Lord Demon’s back mountain, I need someone to keep watch. Or, I’ll keep watch, and my helper will go in to pick them, then we’ll have as much as needed."
Zhi’er found herself in a dilemma.
She kept thinking about whom she could send.
Lu Wang hesitated several times, finally, he proactively suggested: "Your Majesty, why don’t... you go with me?"
Zhi’er was stunned: "Is that feasible? My presence is too obvious, wouldn’t I be discovered?"
Lu Wang asserted: "Absolutely not! I’ve arranged everything in advance, as long as Your Majesty goes, I’ll stand outside keeping watch, and Lord Demon hasn’t been in the Demon World recently, no one will notice."
Zhi’er thought it over, feeling it was indeed a solution.
She could bring the Qiankun Bag, thus taking as much Mutual Grass as needed!
Great, the baby has food!
"Alright! I’ll go with you tomorrow!"
