Huo'er sent people secretly to rescue the Water king and his family from the prison to bring then back to demon realm. He did not wish to sit and watch as Aqua suffered seeing her family struggle. Huo took Aqua to his chamber and asked her to rest up. She looked really tired for no reason. He did not want to ask her since she had too much going on in her head.
"Wait here until they come back," he said to her.
"Do they even know the way to the Celestial Prison? It is not easy to penetrate unless you are used to the way," she told him.
"They will not fail us, you can trust me on that," he tried to console her. But she was not convinced. He ordered the maids to serve Aqua with fresh clothes and food.
He sat next to her as the maids left the room and took her hand in his. "Don't worry, we will live through this," he promised her.
