A ruo saw this and exclaimed, "Your Majesty!"
Jing Jia had used considerable mana, and was now physically weak.
When Ju Chi approached, she only then sensed the danger drawing near.
And when she tried to resist again, it was already too late.
Yet, as Jing Jia looked back, she saw a figure had already blocked the blow for her.
"A ruo!" Jing Jia was suddenly shocked.
The poisonous reversed hook in Ju Chi’s hand pierced straight into the depths of A ruo’s heart.
Yet A ruo firmly spread her arms, shielding Jing Jia.
Though in that instant, her face turned deathly pale from pain, she only let out a muffled groan.
Lu Wang, seeing this from afar, madly rushed over, ignoring the poisonous mist’s interference.
He boldly pinned Ju Chi down and began wrestling with him.
A ruo couldn’t stand firm and collapsed with a thud.
Jing Jia hurriedly caught her.
"Your Majesty..." A ruo trembled all over, in severe pain.
Yet even so, she asked, "Is Your Majesty unharmed?"
Jing Jia wept like rain, "Why are you so foolish to rush over? You can’t withstand his poison, it’ll kill you!"
However, A ruo felt comfort and smiled, "As long as Your Majesty is not hurt..."
"I was originally a stone, it was Your Majesty who gave me life."
She recalled that when she had just gained awareness, she saw Jing Jia.
At that time, Jing Jia smiled and said to her, "From now on, you will be called A ruo."
Lu Wang tore Ju Chi apart with his bare hands, and Ju Chi’s primordial spirit floated up, desperately fleeing in all directions.
At this moment, thousands of heavenly thunderbolts, summoned by Bai Zhi’er, came thundering from afar.
Like divine retribution descending, they struck Ju Chi’s primordial spirit into charred ash.
The other demon beasts didn’t escape this fierce heavenly thunder either.
Lu Wang ran over, knelt by A ruo’s side, and took her from Jing Jia’s hands, holding her tightly in his arms.
"A ruo, hold on, Lord Demon will return shortly, I will have him save you!"
Jing Jia was already channeling energy to heal A ruo.
However, such a deadly poison had already spread rapidly throughout A ruo’s body.
A ruo’s entire body was blue and purple, her face even paler.
She looked at Lu Wang, "Immortal Lord Lu Wang."
A ruo’s smile was very weak.
But as if sharing good news, she said, "I was a stone, originally feeling no pain."
"But now, right here at my heart, it aches terribly, very painful."
Lu Wang grasped her hand tightly, "Do not move!"
Jing Jia weepingly called out, "A ruo... my A ruo..."
A ruo’s eyes began to appear somewhat hollow and vacant.
She slowly looked towards the Xiangsi Tree beside her.
"Old friend, I may be leaving."
In the wind, the Xiangsi Tree’s branches drooped and the streaming light dimmed.
They say stones have no heart, knowing neither joy nor sorrow.
But by Jing Jia’s side, A ruo understood what warmth was.
When Bai Zhi’er was young, A ruo stayed with her, experiencing the fulfillment of caring for an infant.
Being friends with Lu Wang, she learned what it meant to care.
With the Xiangsi Tree, she was moved by Jing Jia and Bai Xilie’s love, learning to cherish it.
A ruo smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, A ruo does not regret this life."
With that, her body turned into tiny, sparkling specks, vanishing in an instant.
"A ruo!!" Lu Wang’s voice was hoarse and exhausted, staggering as he chased after the fireflies.
He nearly fell from the clouds.
Jing Jia immediately waved her sleeve, using mana to pull him back.
Lu Wang’s eyes were bloodshot red, his voice thundering like a roar, "A ruo—"
She died just like that.
Lu Wang was inconsolable with grief.
While the countless specks that A ruo had turned into, in mid-air, turned back.
Then scattered softly into Jing Jia’s palm.
Transforming into the original piece of lustrous white stone.
