Qingtian slowly took a few steps back, while Chuchu entered the inner hall.
Originally, Qingtian planned to quietly enter Chuchu's sea of consciousness and then discuss with the princess.
However, his intention was discovered by the alert maid beside him. She quickly condensed a talisman fire in her hand and threw it towards Qingtian.
Qingtian reacted quickly, twisting his body and barely avoiding the attack of the talisman fire, but even so, the powerful impact still pushed him far away and hit the stone wall inside the hall.
Seeing that the maid was about to make a move, Chuchu came out and immediately stepped forward to stop her, her voice filled with anger: "Enough! How dare you touch my people! Hades sent you to serve me, not to show off here!"
Upon hearing this, the maid immediately knelt on the ground, the flames above her head still blazing. She whispered, "Lady Princess, I know I was wrong."
Chu Chu glanced at her coldly, her voice filled with chills: "You only admitted your mistakes verbally, but you may not be convinced in your heart. However, considering that you are my father, I will spare your life for now."
After she finished speaking, she walked to Qingtian's side, lowered her head and asked, "Can you still get up?"
Qingtian bared his teeth in a grin, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to his original form—a fierce dog radiating red light. He shook his head, as if to dispel the discomfort, and said, "I was just caught off guard. It was just a small talisman fire. How could it hurt me?"
"Then follow me to Pluto's Palace."
"Yes, Princess Di."
A man and a dog appeared in the Palace of Hades. A red light suddenly appeared, bringing with it the chilling wind of the underworld, making people shudder.
But besides Pluto, there is another person who is not afraid of this fierce force.
The Demon Lord was majestic, clad in crimson robes that burned like blazing fire, demonstrating his supreme authority. His towering stature was formidable, awe-inspiring. His face was handsome and captivating, yet shone with a coldness and dominance that inspired awe. He emanated an irresistible magical aura, making it impossible to look away.
The Demon Lord stood tall, his crimson robes like flowing flames. Despite the passage of time, his appearance remained that of a young and handsome man, seemingly untouched by time. Chu Chu was quite surprised when she first saw him. She had expected the Demon Lord to be elderly, considering the rumors that he had lived for tens of thousands of years.
The Demon Lord's eyes fell on Chu Chu, and his voice was low and powerful: "Princess Qingming?" His voice seemed to carry magic, which made people shudder.
Chu Chu suddenly realized, isn’t this the grown-up version of Lu Chenguang?
Although his facial features had grown, Chuchu was certain that it was Lu Chenguang.
Chuchu smiled and deliberately mentioned the matters of the human world: "Demon Lord, this princess thought you were living freely in the human world and had forgotten about the marriage with the Netherworld." There was a hint of provocation in her words, as if she wanted to test the Demon Lord's reaction.
Upon hearing this, the Netherworld Demon Lord sneered, "Oh? The Princess has already set foot in the human world? Is it really so enchanting there that you don't want to return?"
When had she ever been so attached to the human world? The Demon Lord's words were sheer nonsense. Chu Chu glared at the Demon Lord, her dissatisfaction evident in her words.
Seeing this, Hades felt extremely embarrassed. His daughter always acted according to her own will, and she had the audacity to be so disrespectful to the Demon Lord.
He was about to open his mouth to reprimand her, but the Demon Lord spoke first: "Lord Pluto, I would like to invite the princess to go to the Demon Realm to familiarize herself with the environment there in advance. What do you think?"
Hades looked at Chuchu, using his eyes to signal her to express her opinion, but Chuchu seemed not to notice and stood there minding her own business. Hades had no choice but to whisper a reminder: "Um...Chuchu, the Demon Lord is talking to you."
"Let's go, let's go now.
Chuchu was also dressed in red, with flying sleeves and a narrow waist, which made her look graceful and elegant.
The Demon Lord glanced at her and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Pluto, I will bring the princess back safely."
As soon as the words fell, Chu Chu was brought into the demon world that she had visited once before.
But Qingtian was not brought here.
"Where is Qingtian?" Chu Chu asked subconsciously.
"You're in the way." Youming walked into the hall without even looking back, saying this with disgust as he walked.
Getting in the way? Chu Chu trotted after him: "Are you Lu Chenguang? If you are not, send me back to the underworld immediately."
Youming did not respond, but stepped over the high threshold with his long legs and arrived at his bedroom.
Chuchu followed in.
The Netherworld's sleeping chamber resembled a forgotten icy region, cold and profound. A chilling aura filled the air. Within the chamber, a massive black jade bed stood silently, covered in dark purple silk blankets that shone with a mysterious sheen.
Strange carvings were carved into the surrounding walls, as if telling of ancient and distant secrets. In the corners, a few faint blue lights flickered, casting mottled shadows, adding a touch of mystery and strangeness to the entire palace.
The air was filled with a cold fragrance, which seemed to be a mixture of ice, snow and pine wood. It was both fresh and cold, making people shiver unconsciously.
Chu Chu stood at the door of the palace, looking at the deep and cold bedroom, and couldn't help feeling an inexplicable awe and curiosity in her heart.
But business is more important. "Youming, I really have something to do in the human world. Give me half a day. Once I'm done, I'll come back immediately, okay?"
Youming glanced at her, his eyes gleaming with a deep light, and asked, "Is the human world really better than the underworld and the demon world?"
This question made Chu Chu a little confused. She blinked and thought to herself, these three worlds have their own characteristics, how can they be simply compared?
She took a deep breath and said frankly: "In the human world, I am concerned about the Song family, and in the underworld, it is naturally tens of thousands of ghosts and my father."
After hearing this, Youming said calmly, "Although you were born in the underworld, you are not a soul of the underworld. Your true form is a creature from the demon world."
When Chu Chu heard this, her heart was shocked. She widened her eyes and looked at Youming in disbelief.
Something from the demonic world? How is that possible?
She asked in a trembling voice, "Youming, what do you mean by this? How could I be involved with the demon world?"
Netherworld turned around, his purple eyes sparkling, and he said slowly, "Your mother is a monster."
Chuchu didn't believe it. How could it be? Her father, the Pluto, had told her that her mother was from heaven.
Youming looked at her shocked expression, a subtle smile curling up at the corner of his mouth. He didn't explain too much.
Chu Chu just felt that time was running out. "Let's not talk about this for now. I need to go back to the human world first. It will take two hours at most. If you take me out, won't that give me freedom?"
But Youming said, "I will go to the human world with you."
"Why?" Chu Chu was puzzled.
"You'll know when you get there."
