Chapter 42 The Little Divine Doctor

Tang Lu's restoration, along with her unique "spiritual healing" ability, opened a window to tranquility and vitality in Chi Li's world, which was originally filled with killing and intrigue.

Chi Li found herself becoming more and more accustomed to this silent comfort, and even starting to... crave it.

But she soon made a discovery that made her unhappy: the window wasn't open only for her.

But I just felt that I wasn't special.

Chi Li was naturally delighted by Tang Lu's leap in ability.

only……

That day, Chi Li took Tang Lu for a walk in the garden of the Demon King's Palace, letting her stretch her muscles and bask in the sun.

After the great battle and the long period of unconsciousness, Tang Lu had recovered a lot, but she was still thinner than before, and Chi Li always wanted to help her get back in shape.

They passed by a medicinal garden where healing plants were grown. A rabbit demon official in charge of the garden was squatting on the ground, carefully channeling spiritual energy into a "Moonflower Grass" with yellowed leaves, trying to save it.

The rabbit demon official was pale and sweaty, clearly exhausted.

Tang Lu's gaze was immediately drawn to it.

She broke free from Chi Li's hand, ran over, and squatted down next to the rabbit demon official, tilting her little head to look at the withered moonflower grass.

"It's sick," Tang Lu said softly, her tone filled with innate pity.

When the rabbit demon official saw her and Chi Li, she hurriedly tried to get up and pay her respects, but Chi Li stopped her with a look.

"Yes, Your Highness, its roots were damaged by the aftermath of the previous battle. My spiritual power is too weak to save it," the rabbit demon official said with regret.

Tanglu stretched out her little hand and gently touched the yellowed leaves of the moonflower grass.

Almost instantly, soft green light appeared on her fingertips, seeping into the plant along the veins of the leaves.

In just a few breaths, the yellowed leaves visibly returned to their emerald green color, and the entire Moonflower Grass stood upright, radiating a lustrous sheen.

"Alright!" Tang Lu withdrew her hand, tilted her head up, and gave the dumbfounded rabbit demon official a sweet smile.

"Thank you... thank you, Your Highness!" The rabbit demon official was both surprised and delighted, and quickly expressed her gratitude, looking at Tang Lu with eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

Chi Li stood not far away, watching this scene, her brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

Her little tree spirit seems to be using its abilities more and more skillfully, and the targets are no longer limited to her.

This is just the beginning.

A few days later, a wolf demon general who had suffered a lung injury in the previous battle in the northern border and had not yet fully recovered coughed a few times while reporting on military affairs, and his face also looked a little pale.

At that time, Tang Lu was playing by herself on the cushion next to Chi Li. When she heard the cough, she immediately looked up and her gaze landed precisely on the chest of the wolf demon general.

She put down her toy, walked over, and, to the wolf demon general's astonishment, placed her small hand on the armor on his chest.

“It’s blocked here,” Tang Lu said seriously, and before the other party could react, a soft green light had already penetrated the armor.

The wolf demon general felt a gentle yet powerful aura flow into his body, like a spring breeze and rain, quickly healing the hidden wounds that had been festering for many years.

The lingering feeling of suffocation and hidden pain lessened by more than half in just a dozen breaths!

He looked at Tang Lu in shock, then at Chi Li in fear, unsure of how to react.

"I feel... I feel much better! Thank you, Your Highness!" The wolf demon general's voice was filled with excitement, yet he was also afraid of offending the demon king.

Chi Li remained expressionless, merely nodding slightly to signal him to continue his report.

But the fingers holding the jade slip tightened slightly.

Similar things began to happen one after another.

An elder encountered a problem during cultivation, resulting in disordered spiritual energy. Tang Lu happened to pass by, sensed it, and promptly smoothed it out.

A spirit beast cub in the palace was born weak and on the verge of death. Tang Lu held it and stroked it, and the little guy was immediately able to stand up and walk unsteadily...

Tang Lu seems to be born with the ability to sense "discomfort" and "pain" and instinctively wants to "heal".

She didn't distinguish whether the person was Chi Li, a demon general, a palace servant, or even a blade of grass, a bird, or a beast.

In her eyes, all beings are equal, and she wants to use her newfound power to heal anyone who is "sick".

Inside the Demon King's palace, rumors spread like wildfire about the young prince's miraculous healing abilities.

While the demons held Chi Li in awe, they also began to feel genuine affection and gratitude towards Tang Lu.

Wherever she goes, she always receives countless friendly, eager, and even pleading glances.

Chi Li witnessed all of this.

She should have been happy.

Her tree spirit became so kind, capable, and beloved.

but……

She felt a little...uncomfortable.

Especially when she saw a certain clueless young demon general, whose old wounds had been healed by Tang Lu, his face flushed with excitement, his eyes burning as he looked at Tang Lu, and he even tried to present her with a carefully prepared gift of thanks.

Although Tang Lu rejected him immediately without understanding his feelings, the low pressure emanating from Chi Li made the demon general scramble away in a panic.

But that inexplicable restlessness still lingered in Chi Li's heart, refusing to dissipate.

That night, Chi Li leaned against the headboard, and Tang Lu, as usual, fulfilled her duty of "sleep healing".

After carefully massaging Chi Li's old wound with her little paws, she nestled contentedly in her arms, hugging her arm as she prepared to fall asleep.

Looking at the little ungrateful child in her arms, Chi Li couldn't help but reach out her fingertip and poke her soft cheek.

“I have also been feeling somewhat unwell lately,” Chi Li said, her voice tinged with awkwardness.

"Hmm?" Tang Lu opened her eyes groggily, tilted her head back, and looked at herself with confusion in her amber eyes. "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Let Tang Lu take a look."

As she spoke, her little hand instinctively reached out to touch her.

Chi Li held her small hand and guided it to her chest, her expression unchanged, her tone indifferent: "Sometimes it feels stuffy here."

Tang Lu immediately became serious, placing her small hand on her heart, where a soft green light emanated as she carefully sensed it.

After a long while, she looked up, her little brows furrowed tightly, even more confused:

"No... Lili, you're jumping very well here, it's warm, there are no 'little bumps' or any dark spots?"

Chili: "..."

Looking at Tang Lu's earnest expression—purely bewildered, trying her best to "diagnose" but coming up empty-handed—the inexplicable jealousy and childish probing in her heart suddenly dissipated, replaced by helplessness and indulgence.

Arguing with a little tree spirit whose mind is as pure as a blank sheet of paper about these things is like her regressing further into the past.

She gently tucked Tanglu's small hand back under the covers, hugged her tightly, and rubbed her chin against the top of her head: "Hmm, perhaps I was mistaken. Go to sleep."

Although Tang Lu was puzzled, she still obediently said "oh", found a comfortable position in her arms, snuggled up, and closed her eyes peacefully.

Looking at the peaceful sleeping face of the person in her arms, feeling the unreserved dependence and trust, Chi Li felt a little displeased but still satisfied.

Yes, that's how her tree spirit is.

Her abilities stem from the purest life and kindness, and nature treats all things equally.

This unique healing power was first awakened because of her, and it will always return to her in the end.

That's enough.

As for those insignificant demons or creatures...

His Majesty the Demon King silently decided that tomorrow he would issue an order to strictly control the number of people who could "encounter" the young prince and receive "treatment" each day.

Her personal miracle doctor is not so easy to book.
