Chapter 1535: Lu Wang, Can You Do Me a Favor?
"Lu Wang!" Zhi’er no longer calls him Brother Lu Wang, because Lu Wang, after all, is a member of the Demon Clan, and now the entire Demon Clan regards her as an enemy. Lu Wang is caught in the middle, and Zhi’er doesn’t want to act too affectionately, making it difficult for him.
Outwardly, everyone knows Lu Wang stayed for a female fairy named A Ruo.
Seeing Zhi’er, Lu Wang’s expression relaxed slightly.
"Your Majesty, you’re here. Since this morning, A Ruo has been acting strangely!"
Zhi’er’s face changed: "I’ll go take a look while you talk, what’s wrong with her?!"
The two quickly flew through the clouds toward the Ice Palace where A Ruo was.
On the way, Lu Wang said: "I went to wipe A Ruo’s face this morning and found she was shedding tears. I thought she was awake but no matter how many times I called, she wouldn’t wake up. It seems like she’s having a nightmare and can’t wake up!"
As they spoke, Zhi’er and he had already entered the inner hall of the Ice Palace.
A Ruo lay on the bed, indeed as Lu Wang described, with tears constantly sliding down her cheeks.
Her eyelashes kept fluttering, as if she wanted to open her eyes but couldn’t muster the strength.
Zhi’er walked to her side and crouched down, stroking her forehead.
"Sister A Ruo?" She checked A Ruo’s pulse.
After a moment of sensing, Zhi’er breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile forming at the corner of her red lips.
Lu Wang looked puzzled: "Your Majesty, what is wrong with her?"
Only to see Zhi’er gently stroking A Ruo’s forehead, and sure enough, A Ruo stopped crying.
Zhi’er tucked her hand under the blanket, smiling faintly: "Indeed, as you said, she was having a nightmare. It’s truly a good thing!"
Lu Wang was surprised: "Having a nightmare is a good thing? Could it be she’s dreaming of some terrible monster chasing her?"
Zhi’er chuckled: "Of course it’s a good thing because previously, Sister A Ruo’s Primordial Spirit was incomplete and couldn’t dream. For God Demon like her, dreaming is less frequent compared to humans."
"She can dream now because, like a human, her Seven Souls and Six Spirits have finally been completed. I believe she will wake up before long!"
"That’s why I said it’s a good thing."
Lu Wang was overjoyed upon hearing this: "That’s great!"
He rushed to the bedside, holding A Ruo’s hand and encouraging her constantly.
"A Ruo, you’re the best, the strongest. We’re all waiting for you to wake up, you mustn’t give up!"
Zhi’er watched Lu Wang accompanying A Ruo with devotion and couldn’t help but be momentarily lost in thought.

Having a loving partner indeed gives you much courage.
Lu Wang noticed Zhi’er’s unusual expression and stood up awkwardly, saying: "Your Majesty, I’ve heard about you and Lord Demon..."
"I know there’s a hidden truth here that I can’t understand. Although I don’t get why, I still hope to see you and Lord Demon get married someday."
Zhi’er weakly smiled: "I’ve hurt him a lot, I no longer hope to marry him. I just hope that someday I can personally tell him I’m sorry."
Lu Wang lowered his head silently.
Zhi’er pondered for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask: "Lu Wang, can you help me with something?"
"Of course I can, Your Majesty. It’s because of your care that I haven’t been expelled from the nine layered heaven and can stay by A Ruo’s side to take care of her. Please say, what do you need me to help with?"
"I... I want the Mutual Grass from the Demon World."
"Mutual Grass?!" Lu Wang was surprised: "That herb doesn’t have any special effects, it’s only used to help Demons improve their Mana."
