Although A ruo had temporarily lost her spell, fortunately, she was not clumsy.
She hid and dodged along the way, finally listening to Bai Zhi’er’s advice and left the Imperial City Gate smoothly.
The Imperial Guard on duty asked her symbolically which palace she was from and what she was doing.
With her head down, A ruo said, "From Ruizhu Palace, going out to buy food for the Princess."
As soon as the Imperial Guard heard this, they imdiately let her through.
After walking a short distance, A ruo hid around a corner and leaned against the wall, patting her chest.
She let out a big sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she hadn’t been caught.
A ruo planned to stand there and wait for Bai Zhi’er to co and et her.
At this mont, Lu Wang was walking from afar, holding a bag of oiled paper bags, his face expressionless.
A ruo thought she was seeing things.
She rubbed her eyes hard.
"Immortal Lord Lu Wang? What’s he doing here?"
When Lu Wang passed the corner, he suddenly heard a voice calling out—
"Immortal Lord Lu Wang!"
He frowned and turned his head to look.
All he saw was a woman with sowhat dirty clothes standing at the intersection waving at him.
She looked familiar, but Lu Wang couldn’t imdiately recall who she was.
A ruo ran up to him: "Immortal Lord Lu Wang, have you forgotten ? I’m A ruo!"
Lu Wang suddenly rembered: "Are you the Immortal Fairy beside Your Majesty?"
A ruo nodded repeatedly.
She was on the verge of tears.
In this unfamiliar mortal world, eting an immortal truly felt like encountering a fellow countryman.
Lu Wang frowned suspiciously: "What are you doing here?"
"Your Majesty asked to..." A ruo blurted out without thinking.
However, before she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped.
No, wait!
Your Majesty had told her not to reveal to anyone where Her Majesty’s husband was in the mortal world.
Because Her Majesty’s husband was a mortal with a noble fate, it was feared that ill-intentioned people might take advantage of him.
Moreover, Her Majesty also forbade her to ntion the identity of the Emperor.
So, her tongue made a turn in her mouth.
A ruo shyly lowered her eyelashes.
"Your Majesty sent to observe this mortal world. Otherwise, as a re Shitou, I would never learn anything, and I’m always slow. I will return in a few days."
Although Lu Wang didn’t believe her, he felt A ruo didn’t seem like the type to lie.
Otherwise, without the Heavenly Emperor’s permission, a little fairy like A ruo would have been unable to co down without being captured by the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly General.
A ruo asked in return, "What is Immortal Lord Lu Wang doing here?"
Her gaze lowered and saw Lu Wang’s bag of oiled paper.
This ti, it was Lu Wang’s turn to be taken aback.
He felt a sense of unease grow within him.
A ruo was the Immortal Fairy beside the Heavenly Emperor. If she found out that he was serving beside Lord Demon, the Heavenly Emperor would undoubtedly discover the truth!
Thus, Lu Wang’s once cold, dark gaze began to flicker.
"I... I ca to the Lower Realm to handle so official matters and strengthen my cultivation. I’ll return in a few days too."
A ruo blinked in confusion: "A deity with an official status like the Immortal Lord also needs to cultivate in the Lower Realm?"
Don’t they all ditate in the Immortal Cave?
Lu Wang pondered: "The mortal world is complex and greatly beneficial for cultivation, and it’s also fast."
A ruo suddenly realized.
"The Immortal Lord is really diligent. In that case, Immortal Lord should quickly return."
Lu Wang nodded, quickly bidding farewell.
However, after taking just two steps, A ruo called after him.
"Immortal Lord, the imperial palace is just ahead. Do you live inside the palace?" A ruo asked with innocent eyes.
Lu Wang’s body stiffened.
He slowly turned his body, revealing, for the first ti ever, a smile.
"I mistook the direction, thank you for the reminder."
Lu Wang had no choice but to turn around and leave.
