"Thank you, Saint Nuwa!"
His face alight with excitement, Lu Ya cupped his hands and bowed to Nuwa, then turned and left.
"My lady, how could that fellow behave like that?"
As Lu Ya left, a boyish-looking figure walked over to Nuwa, staring in the direction of his departure with obvious displeasure.
"He probably thinks that suddenly becoming the Jade Emperor has qualified him to speak to me as an equal."
Nuwa watched Lu Ya's retreating back, a cold smile curling her lips.
Since Lu Ya is ready, I'll send him off to get everything he wants.
Nuwa then turned her gaze to the boyish-looking figure.

"My lady, will I encounter any danger when I go to face this tribulation?"
This would be Lingzhuzi's first time facing a tribulation, and the prospect frightened him somewhat.
"Rest assured. I've prepared everything for you. You'll have a fright, but come to no harm. Nothing will go wrong."
Naturally, Nuwa would never let Lingzhuzi fall into danger.
