Chu Chu glared at the leading ghost and shook her head stubbornly: "I won't go back!"
The ghost officials looked at each other, looking somewhat embarrassed. They knew Chuchu's temperament and were even more aware of her strength.
As the Qingming Princess, she holds the title of God of War and possesses extraordinary strength. They may not be able to take her back by force.
The leading ghost sighed and tried to persuade her again: "Princess, you left the underworld without permission. The Lord of the Underworld is very angry. If you don't return, I'm afraid you will be punished even more severely."
Chu Chu snorted indifferently, with a stubborn arc on the corner of her mouth: "So what if my father is angry? I'm not afraid of him. Besides, I came out this time for something serious, so don't get in the way here."
The leading ghost messenger felt a headache, knowing that he couldn't convince Chuchu. However, he couldn't just go back empty-handed.
He thought for a moment, then said, "Princess Di, if you don't go back, your subordinates will be unable to report to you. Otherwise, you can take Yaksha back with you and explain everything to Lord Hades."
Chuchu frowned slightly when she heard this. She knew the leading ghost messenger was telling the truth, but she didn't want to go back so easily. She thought for a moment, then said, "I can go back with you, but I need to finish my business first. How about this? You go back and tell my father that I'm with the Demon Lord and that I'll be back within three days."
The head ghost didn't believe Chuchu's words at all. He knew his duty was to bring the princess back no matter what. So he hardened his heart and decided to take coercive measures against Chuchu.
"Let's capture the princess first! Be careful, don't hurt her!" The leading ghost gave an order, and the ghosts rushed towards Chuchu like a tide.
Chu Chu widened her eyes in anger. She didn't expect that these ghost officials would actually dare to attack her.
Just when the ghost officials were about to pounce on Chu Chu, a purple light flashed around him and he instantly transformed into the appearance of a demon lord.
His tall figure blocked Chu Chu's way, and his voice like a huge bell rang in everyone's ears: "How dare you snatch people from me? How outrageous!"
The ghost officials were frightened by Lu Chenguang's aura and stopped in their tracks. They looked at Lu Chenguang's majestic appearance and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in their hearts.
The leading ghost was also shocked. He didn't expect that the Demon Lord would be here.
The Demon Lord was too powerful to be easily dealt with by a few ghost messengers. However, he couldn't just give up on the task of bringing Chuchu back.
So, he said with a brave face: "Master Demon, we are here on the orders of Master Hades to bring the princess back. Please don't make things difficult for us."
Lu Chenguang glanced at him coldly and said, "If Hades wants someone, let him come to me himself. You are not qualified."
"Demon Lord, please let them go!"
However, Lu Chenguang waved his hand and used his magical powers to bring Chuchu and Tianyi into the illusory time tunnel, but in just a moment, the three of them had arrived at the demon world.
The Demon Realm, a land full of mystery and danger, was no stranger to Chu Chu. The familiar palace came into view, but the Demon Lord sitting high above the palace seemed a little strange to her.
The Demon Lord's gaze fell on Tianyi, a hint of displeasure evident. With a gentle wave of his hand, a powerful surge of magic sent Tianyi and Yaksha back to the underworld. Tianyi barely had time to let out a cry of surprise before he tumbled unsteadily to the ground before the King of Hell, looking quite distraught.
At the same time, Chuchu also regained the appearance of Princess Qingming and was no longer the naive 2-year-old child.
She was wearing a gorgeous dress and a dazzling pearl crown on her head, and there was an unparalleled majesty between her brows.
She stood in the hall of the demon world, her eyes firm and deep, as if she could see through all illusions.
"Should I call you Youming or Lu Chenguang?" Chu Chu looked at the Demon Lord with a helpless tone.
The Demon Lord looked over at Chu Chu, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.
"This is the demon world. Call me Youming, and I will call you Qingming. If we were in the human world, you would be Chuchu, and I would be Lu Chenguang."
Chu Chu was helpless: "Then why did you send Tian Yi away?"
"Tian Yi is from the underworld after all, so it would be inconvenient for him to stay here. As for Yaksha, he should be handed over to the King of Hell for disposal."
Chu Chu thought for a moment, seeming a little tired: "Well, I still have to thank you for what happened today. Yasha was finally captured, and my mission in the human world was finally completed."
"Then why don't you want to go back to the underworld?"
"I want to find my mother and find out the mystery of my origins. Didn't you say I was a monster? On this matter, I only believe what my biological mother says."
There was a hint of determination and persistence in Chuchu's eyes. She lowered her eyelids slightly, as if recalling the past.
The Demon Lord looked at her, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.
"Then how do you plan to find your mother?" Lu Chenguang asked softly.
Chu Chu raised her head, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes: "There is no clue now. But she must be in the human world. After all, the princes of the heavenly realm are all training in the human world. Are you interested in getting to know her?"
The Demon Lord's purple eyes flickered: "Okay. But before that, you need to get some rest. You haven't had a good rest in a long time."
Chu Chu paused, feeling a warm current in her heart, "Well, it seems that I am a little tired."
The Demon Lord waved his hand, and Chuchu landed on a warm bed. She wanted to ask where this was, but she felt sleepy instead.
She only felt that everything here was quiet...
Chuchu quickly fell into a deep sleep on the warm bed. Her breathing was even and slow, and a reassuring smile appeared on her face.
In her dream, she seemed to return to her childhood, that carefree time, her mother's warm embrace, her father's loving eyes...
However, dreams are always short-lived. When Chuchu woke up, she found that she was no longer in the demon world. She rubbed her eyes, looked around, and found herself in an unfamiliar environment.
This is a spacious and bright room, decorated elegantly and luxuriously. The sunlight from the window shines in through the gauze, filling the whole room with a warm atmosphere.
Chu Chu stood up and felt that her strength had recovered a lot.
She heard Song Yaqing's voice, "Chu Chu...are you awake? Aren't you hungry? It's almost 12 o'clock."
Chuchu opened her eyes and saw Song Yaqing's gentle face: "I'm back, Mom..."
