Pluto's Palace in the Underworld
Pluto was rarely angry, his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.
His daughter, Princess Qingming, openly disobeyed his orders and refused to return to the underworld. She even changed her address and cleverly concealed her presence, making it impossible for him to track her.
Black and White Impermanence, Su Feng, Qing Tian, Tian Yi, these powerful generals of the underworld, all lowered their heads and stood before the Hades, not daring to breathe. They knew full well that they had been severely reprimanded by the Hades for failing to retrieve Qing Ming Di Ji.
Just when the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was almost frozen, Princess Ye Xuan from the demon world suddenly visited and broke the heavy silence.
Hades frowned, his tone filled with displeasure: "What did you say? She came to see the Demon Lord? What does she think the Underworld is? She can come whenever she wants!"
Pluto thought about it and said, "Let her in."
Ye Xuan walked in angrily, her eyes fixed on Hades, her tone full of questions: "Hades, Qing Ming Emperor Princess took away the Demon Lord of our Demon Realm. Shouldn't you, the Underworld, give us an explanation?"
Hades sighed softly and said helplessly, "Princess, please be patient. This matter is not as simple as it seems. The Demon Lord's disappearance was most likely intentional, and he wanted to conceal his whereabouts."
"There is one more thing that should be explained. It was Qingming who was taken away by the Demon Lord, not her who took the Demon Lord away on her own initiative."
Ye Xuan took a deep breath, and asked in a questioning tone: "Then why don't you in the underworld go look for Qingming Emperor Princess and the Demon Lord?"
Hades frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Princess Qingming and the Demon Lord have been missing for a day. Converted into human time, it has been a whole year. The Demon Lord has tens of thousands of years of magical power. How can his whereabouts be easily discovered? Princess Yexuan, this matter cannot be rushed..."
Ye Xuan was obviously not satisfied with this reply. She glared at Hades, and with a hint of anger, she disappeared in the Hades Palace in an instant.
Hades looked at the direction where Ye Xuan left and sighed softly.
Youlan appeared beside him at the right moment and whispered, "Lord Pluto, Princess Yexuan is lying."
Hearing this, Hades paused, then turned to look at Youlan, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Oh? Why do you think so?"
Youlan lowered her head slightly, her voice filled with certainty, "The Emperor has indeed changed her residence and disappeared, so we haven't been able to find her. However, the Demon Lord's residence in the Demon Realm has not changed. I suspect Princess Yexuan isn't really here to call for punishment, but rather has some other motive."
Hades frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Are you saying that Princess Yexuan is actually here to tip off the Demon Lord? Since she can't summon him back, she wants to use the Underworld to find him?"
Youlan nodded. "That's right. Princess Yexuan may be arrogant, but her loyalty to the Demon Lord is unquestionable. She's most likely coming here to borrow our help to find the Demon Lord and the Princess."
After saying this, Hades ordered: "Pass the order down, send more people, and make sure to find the whereabouts of Qingming Emperor Ji and Demon Lord as soon as possible."
…
A year passed in the human world, and Chuchu arrived at the summer vacation before going to kindergarten.
Chu An and Chu Fei have both reached an important moment in their senior year of high school.
Chu Lei was in the second grade and was still a classmate of Lu Chenguang.
Chuchu’s desire to not go to kindergarten became increasingly stronger.
Chu Lei was having a great time. When he saw the blueberry cake, he thought of his sister. He rushed to his sister's room with the cake and said, "Little Chuchu, the cake is here. Do you want some?"
Chuchu glanced at the cake, still looking worried, "I don't want to eat it."
Chu Lei was surprised. "Huh? A small cake that's one piece a week. If you miss it this time, you'll have to wait until next week."
Chuchu shook her head.
I don't want to go to kindergarten and I'm not in the mood for cake.
Chu Lei suddenly understood after hearing this, "Kindergarten is great, why don't you want to go? You can play with so many other kids, and you'll have delicious meals every day."
"It's boring."
【It’s still more fun to play with your phone at home. 】
Chu Lei lost his composure upon hearing this and looked at his sister with the eyes of a patient, "You have to quit using your phone. You've become a problem child now. I have to tell Mom right away."
After Chu Lei finished speaking, he rushed downstairs.
【My second brother only knows how to complain.】
[Never mind, let me check my phone for a while.]
Chu Lei rushed downstairs, and Song Yaqing just came back home. "Xiao Lei, why are you running so fast? Be careful not to fall."
Chu Lei gasped and said hurriedly, "Mom, go check on Chuchu. She's been looking at her phone all the time and she won't listen to me. I think she seems a little addicted. I'm worried that she will become a problem child."
When Song Yaqing heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, but her voice remained gentle: “Really?”
Chu Lei shook his head. "I don't know either. She just keeps looking at her phone. Not only does she say she doesn't want to go to kindergarten, but she even refuses to look at the blueberry cake she wants most just to play with her phone."
Song Yaqing sighed softly, put down the bag in her hand, and walked towards Chuchu's room: "Okay, I understand, Mom will go and take a look."
She pushed open Chuchu's door and saw Chuchu sitting on the bed, staring at the screen of her mobile phone with various expressions on her face.
Song Yaqing walked gently to Chuchu and said softly, "Chuchu, why are you always looking at your phone? It's not good for your eyes. If you continue like this, mom will confiscate your phone."
Chuchu was startled by Song Yaqing's voice. She looked up and saw her mother, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Then I won't watch it."
Song Yaqing sat on the bedside and looked at Chuchu gently: "Chuchu, you are still young, and going to kindergarten is a must. Do something meaningful with the children. After dinner, mom will take you for a walk, okay?"
"No, I don't want to go to kindergarten, and I don't want to go for a walk."
Song Yaqing was helpless and stretched out her hand, intending to take action: "You little brat, it seems that you are really addicted to your mobile phone. Come, give your phone to your mother first, and I will give it to you in a few days."
Chuchu hid her phone behind her back with grievance, and said to Song Yaqing with red eyes: "Mom, I will go for a walk with you tonight and go to kindergarten too. Can you please not take my phone away?"
Oh my god, how can I live without a cell phone?
[During this short time in the human world, my greatest pleasure has been looking at my phone.]
Although Chuchu thought so in her heart, she still tried to appear well-behaved on the surface, hoping to impress Song Yaqing.
However, Song Yaqing shook her head firmly and said seriously, "Chu Chu, not this time. The cell phone is not good for your eyes and studies. You must give it to me for safekeeping."
When Chu Chu heard this, she felt so wronged that tears were about to fall: "I don't want to give it to Mom... Mom is so mean, I want to go find my godmother, my godmother won't snatch my phone like you did..."
Song Yaqing paused, then continued seriously, "Chu Chu, crying won't help."
Chuchu screamed and ran away.
The call went straight to Ren Jinting, who was taking care of the child. "Godmother, Mom won't let me look at my phone. Mom is so mean. I don't want to go to kindergarten either. I'm fine at home. Why do I have to be with a bunch of little brats?"
