Free Web NovelChapter 1255: Chapter 1255: How Did You Turn Into a Little Bear?
Above the Heavenly Court.
Outside the immortal palace where Jing Jia resided, was heavily guarded by Heavenly Soldiers.
Not long ago, Star Lord Yuan Qing had just visited.
He asked A ruo, "Do you know the whereabouts of the Evil Demon?"
A ruo just sat indoors holding a withered branch of the Xiangsi Tree, without speaking.
She had been like this for a long time, and Star Lord Yuan Qing couldn’t get anything out of her.
Star Lord Yuan Qing turned to leave, instructing the Heavenly Soldiers: "Keep a close eye on this Immortal Servant, Lu Wang will definitely come back to find her."
Shortly after he left, A ruo heard a strange noise coming from a large flower pot not far away.
Inside this flower pot was a Golden Osmanthus, of the small ornamental variety.
Previously, Jing Jia personally took care of it, and the Golden Osmanthus had absorbed some Spiritual Energy, emitting a faint fragrance daily.
But when A ruo looked up at it, she found the Golden Osmanthus looking somewhat droopy and wilted.
She couldn’t help but remember that she hadn’t watered it since the Xiangsi Tree withered.
So, she quickly walked over.
"Little Guihua, I’m sorry for neglecting you. I’ll go get some water right away."
"Wait..." A deep voice came from the flower pot.
A ruo was startled, "Little Guihua, you became enlightened and can speak?!"
However, the soil bulged outward several times.
A ruo watched in astonishment as a small, black bear paw emerged.
She froze.
Bear?
Lu Wang’s true form clumsily emerged.
A very small little black bear, patted the dirt off its body.
After it crawled out, the Golden Osmanthus promptly straightened its stem and no longer drooped.
A ruo was surprised and hurriedly checked to see if the door was shut tightly.
She whispered, "Immortal Lord Lu Wang? You haven’t left?"
Lu Wang lifted a pair of round little bear eyes, looking rather helpless.
"I can’t leave; the Heavenly Court is heavily guarded. Trying to return to the Demon World isn’t easy, so I can only hide here. The most dangerous place is actually the safest."
In truth, A ruo had already warned Lu Wang to flee in advance.
Because, having always taken care of the Xiangsi Tree, she naturally noticed the changes in it.
Ever since Bai Zhi’er came by, she paid extra attention, keeping her distance from Star Lord Yuan Qing.
Not only that, but she also stopped letting Lu Wang help.
However, A ruo noticed that although Lu Wang obediently stayed away, Star Lord Yuan Qing still came to check on her daily.
Engaging her in trivial conversations.
A ruo recalled Bai Zhi’er’s warnings and was very cautious in her heart.
Eventually, one day she discovered that the roots of the Xiangsi Tree were slightly blackened.
Moreover, when the Star River Water was poured, the tree absorbed it very slowly.
This was almost unprecedented.
The Xiangsi Tree was a Divine Tree that both Jing Jia and Bai Zhi’er cherished, and with its problem, A ruo naturally became anxious.
No matter what method she used, the Xiangsi Tree showed no signs of improvement.
So, A ruo went outside Jing Jia’s quarters to cast lots and divine.
Although Jing Jia was in a slumber, her Mana allowed the divination to be clearer.
From the divination, A ruo found out that there was a treacherous plot.
So she thought of Lu Wang.
It was likely that Star Lord Yuan Qing’s frequent visits meant he knew of Lu Wang’s identity.
As expected, as soon as A ruo warned Lu Wang to leave, an hour later, Star Lord Yuan Qing came with Heavenly Soldiers to capture him.
But A ruo didn’t expect that Lu Wang couldn’t leave in the end.
She helped dust off the grey dirt from Lu Wang’s little bear head.
"So, you turned into this tiny form to hide? But with them coming every day, staying here long-term might not be feasible."
Just as Lu Wang was about to speak.
An eerie voice suddenly came from the door: "A ruo, who are you talking to?"
