Mu Chuchu subconsciously raised her hand and caught that ray of light.

That ray of light may seem insignificant, but it actually feels warm to the touch and is filled with a pure and flawless aura; it is indeed a small act of merit.

After absorbing the merit, Mu Chuchu felt that her lost demonic power had recovered a tiny bit.

Although the merit restored was so small as to be negligible, it was indeed some merit that had been restored.

"This is the first time I've ever seen merit that can take physical form," Mu Chuchu exclaimed.

Whether you are a demon, a ghost, or a human, as long as you do good deeds, you will receive merit. Merit is the embodiment of good intentions. In the past, Mu Chuchu often did what she thought was right, and all the merit she received was converted into power, which made her a great demon in just a few hundred years.

Mu Chuchu felt that perhaps it was because her current body was a human body that she was able to see the materialized merits.

Although I don't expect to recover my lost demonic power by collecting merits, it's better than nothing.

The matter was perfectly resolved. Mu Chuchu, trailing her snow-white long dress, went downstairs and walked out of the haunted house. As soon as she stepped out the door, she saw Hua Chen dart over to her.

"Chu Chu! You've gone too far! You knew there were ghosts here! Why didn't you tell me!" Hua Chen was angry, and Hua Chen felt wronged!

He then realized that out of the four of them, he was the only one who didn't know the truth!

"I did this to make your performance fit your character in the play. You saw that you got it right in one take, so I saved you from suffering." Mu Chuchu sighed helplessly when she saw that Hua Chen was still looking at her with resentment. "How about this, I'll give you some compensation."

Hua Chen craned his neck curiously, but before he could ask what the compensation was, Mu Chuchu suddenly reached out and slapped him hard on the forehead.

The pain was so intense that Hua Chen cried out, tears streaming down her face. "What are you doing?"

"I've placed a protective charm on you. For the next month or so, you won't encounter any strange things." Mu Chuchu waved her hand and left.

Hua Chen: "..."

"Mu Chuchu, I feel like you're ignoring me!"

Mu Chuchu changed her clothes and removed her makeup in the nanny van, said goodbye to the crew, and was then driven home by Gu Xuan.

On her way home, Mu Chuchu's phone kept ringing.

Mu Chuchu glanced at her phone screen and was surprised to see the words "Uncle He" in large letters.

Mu Chuchu perked up immediately, her eyes lighting up, and she instinctively wanted to press the answer button.

However, Mu Chuchu quickly recalled the woman's voice she heard on the phone when she parted ways with He Lengqian that day.

She immediately pouted in dissatisfaction, and with a flick of her finger, Mu Chuchu pressed the red reject button.

"Sister Chuchu, who is Uncle He? Why didn't you answer his call?" Tang Xiaomo asked curiously as she approached.

"I don't want to answer." After saying that, Mu Chuchu seemed still not satisfied. She sent a text message to He Lengqian, then turned off her phone. She then slumped back in her chair and asked Gu Xuan, who was driving, for leave, "Sister Xuan, I want to rest tomorrow."

"Sure. Chuchu, I've seen the sample footage you just shot. Your acting has improved a lot this time. Director Lan said she'll be doing the special effects and editing tomorrow, so the crew will have a day off. You should rest at home." Gu Xuan smiled and nodded in agreement.
