Chapter 401 The greater the reward, the greater the danger

Daju was feeling comfortable being touched, but when he heard Xu Chuchu ask this, he jumped up with a start.

"Oh no! I was going to support Jiji!" it yelled, "but I forgot when I saw Chuchu. It's all my fault that I was so surprised to see Chuchu back!"

Everyone: "..." Is this the legendary paper brotherhood?

"What are you trying to show off for? But what happened in the court?" Xiao Yu frowned.

"Yes, yes, yes." Daju nodded vigorously.

Six eyes met.

"Then what?" Xu Chuchu asked.

"Then, then..." Daju began to speak incoherently, "There were ministers and the emperor. They were evil and good, just like electricity, electricity..."

Xu Chuchu held her forehead with her hand: "Just like on TV?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Daju nodded again and looked at Xiao Yu guiltily.

Xu Chuchu also turned to Xiao Yu: "Forget it, Daju hasn't watched many costume dramas, so he can't explain it. He likes watching talent shows. Let's go to Gigi's place and watch it."

After saying that, he paused again: "Or... you wait at home, I'll be back soon."

If nothing else, she felt like a big sister getting married with a big family.

Today this person has problems, tomorrow that person has problems, and Xiao Yu has to solve them all.

From the time Xiao Yu's hand recovered until now, he has been devoted to her and would never hesitate to die for her.

Now that I'm finally home, I want him to help me with this and that.

Xiao Yu could guess what she was thinking: "Chu Chu, you don't consider me your own anymore?"

"No way." Xu Chuchu quickly denied.

Xiao Yu put his arm around her shoulders, lowered his head and whispered, "Don't you know that what I love most is being with you... no matter what we do."

"You're the only one who can say that." Xu Chuchu pulled down his stealing hand.

Daju was sandwiched between the two of them, pricked up his ears, and slapped Xiao Yu's leg.

"Oh, it would be even better if you went. Weren't you a prince before? Go and punish them!" It said happily, "Hey, this cat just saw that your hand is healed. Our Chuchu is really amazing!"

Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu looked at each other and understood each other.

According to the normal timeline, they left first to heal the hand, came back after the hand was healed, and then left again with the two dragons.

But in the current timeline, they had just returned from having their hands treated.

The memory in the middle was erased by the dragon clan.

"I remember that when we came back last time, Jiji was in trouble too, and it was you who helped him out." Xiao Yu whispered, "If that memory is erased, then the other party will not be deterred by us. Jiji's troubles will still be there, and even bigger."

"I understand." Xu Chuchu frowned.

"Hey, what are you guys still talking about?" Daju turned into a human and pushed them, "Let's go, let's go rescue Jiji."

Xiao Yu and Xu Chuchu returned to their rooms and changed into seasonal clothes to avoid looking too conspicuous—in fact, their looks were already conspicuous enough—and then were taken out by Daju.

After going out, Xu Chuchu suddenly felt a sad gaze behind him. Turning back, he saw Ah Fu leaning behind the pillar at the gate of the mansion, looking at them pitifully.

Xu Chuchu found it a little funny and poked Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu immediately understood and called Ah Fu to go with them.

Daju smiled even more happily, and jumped directly from Xu Chuchu into Afu's arms, then rode on his neck proudly.

Xu Chuchu remembered that the last time she came back, Daju stayed in her arms and refused to leave. This time, even though the time had passed longer, she felt even closer to Afu.

The same goes for Ah Fu. Even though his ears were almost pulled off, he still had an unconcealable smile on his face.

There is a ghost, there must be a ghost.

Xu Chuchu secretly made up her mind to find an opportunity to "torture and extract a confession".

The group walked quickly towards Jiji's Shen Mansion. On the way, Xu Xiao and the other two tacitly concealed their cultivation.

At this time, the door of the Shen Mansion was closed. Xu Chuchu went forward and knocked several times, but no one responded.

"What's going on?" She became alert.

"I'll go in and talk to them!" Daju stepped on Ah Fu's shoulders, rushed into the mansion, and opened the door for them from the inside.

The doorman wanted to stop them, but he calmed down when he saw that they were all familiar people.

"Master Chen said that we must not open the door if anyone knocks before he comes back. I didn't know it was Master Xiao and Miss Xu just now, so I was disrespectful." The servant explained.

Mr. Shen is naturally Shen Jiji, and has nothing to do with Shen Zhaozhi.

Xu Chuchu said: "Without disrespect, tell us what happened in the mansion and why the door was not opened? Where is Mr. Shen now?"

"This, this young master didn't tell me..." The servant was embarrassed.

At this moment, a familiar voice was heard not far away: "Chu Chu?!"

Xu Chuchu turned around and looked, and said happily: "Master——"

Seeing a relative again, Xu Chuchu couldn't help but feel happy and threw himself into the familiar arms of his master.

At the same time, she also keenly noticed that the master was not in good condition. He seemed to be older than the last time she saw him, and had obviously more white hair.

The master looked her and Xiao Yu up and down, and said happily, "It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back safely. Your hand has been healed. You two have worked hard."

"We are fine." Xu Chuchu calmly transferred some spiritual power to his master to regulate his body. At the same time, he directly pinched the restless spiritual power that had been wandering in his master's body and killed it directly like dealing with a mosquito.

"Chu Chu!" The master was shocked, "What are you doing..."

Master had not dared to use his spiritual power easily before because of the restless spiritual power in his body. Although it did not affect his body much, it was a pity to waste his fifth-level cultivation.

I didn’t expect that Xu Chuchu could solve the problem so easily today.

"Chu Chu, what happened? Did you have a hard time along the way?" The master knew this line of work very well. The greater the reward, the greater the danger.

"It's a long story. We're all fine now." Xu Chuchu didn't plan to explain now. "Master, tell me first, what happened to Jiji? Why are you all acting like you're facing a formidable enemy?"

The master stroked Xu Chuchu's shoulder and sighed, "It's still that Second Prince, the former Second Prince, who's been holding our Imperial Observatory hostage, saying we have to cooperate with the demon tribe to defeat the neighboring bandits. He even brought the demon tribe in to negotiate. Our Imperial Observatory's cultivation level is generally low, so we were at a disadvantage during the negotiations. The emperor was very dissatisfied."

"So I'm waiting to go with Daju to find Jiji to support us. We are both at the fifth level, which is the highest level of cultivation in the entire Imperial Observatory." She added.

Although one of them cannot use spiritual power, and the other is also a demon...

After the last battle between Xu Chuchu and the Dog Emperor, many dignitaries in the royal family and the capital knew about the existence of demons and cultivators.

However, all the high-level confidants of the Grand Master in the Imperial Observatory had fled, and the remaining ones were all newcomers and those without talent, and they really couldn't hold their own.

Xiao Yu was puzzled. "Isn't inviting the demon tribe to cooperate like inviting a wolf into the house? And the Second Prince is leading the charge, so why would the Emperor agree?"

The master shook his head. "I'm not entirely sure about this. I heard from Jiji that because of the previous emperor's misdeeds, the treasury is now empty, unable to pay out food and wages, and unable to recruit soldiers. He's considering taking a risky tactic and collaborating with the demon tribe."

Xu Chuchu looked around and said, "Where's the fox fairy?! Isn't he the most suitable one to hold the fort? Which monster is stronger than him?"
