How did she steal her brother? That's disgusting.
[A fox spirit is a fox spirit, and even in the human world, it won't stay still.]
This was clearly a provocative remark, a deliberate attempt by Chuchu to gauge Ren Jinting and Lu Chenguang's reactions. Sure enough, Lu Chenguang's eyes flickered slightly, and a flicker of surprise crossed Ren Jinting's face, though she quickly regained her composure.
Chu Chu smiled sweetly and said, "Godmother, I have to go to film tomorrow, so I'll just rest at home today."
Ren Jinting asked curiously, "Oh? What TV series is it? Is it interesting?"
Chuchu blinked and replied, "It's an inspiring story about a single mother and her daughter's struggles. I'm very honored to be able to act with the famous star Chen Qin and play her daughter."
Ren Jinting nodded and said in agreement, "Chen Qin? I know her, she's a very good actress. With you in this drama, it's sure to be a big hit."
However, Lu Chenguang said, "I'm going to take Chuchu upstairs to play for a while. I'll trouble you to take care of Yuanyuan."
"Okay, you guys go and have fun. I'll take care of Yuanyuan." Ren Jinting agreed with a smile.
When Chuchu passed by Yuanyuan, she secretly glanced at her and found that Yuanyuan did not give her a good look. But she endured it and muttered in her heart: How can I, a thousand-year-old princess, really be on the same level as this ten-thousand-year-old vixen?
After entering Lu Chenguang's room, Chuchu sat on the soft sofa, her face puffed up with anger. She muttered, "That little sister of yours said I stole you as soon as she saw me. How could I not do that? If I didn't have something to do, I wouldn't come here."
Seeing her angry expression, Lu Chenguang couldn't help but laugh. He consoled her, "Alright, alright, why are you arguing with a kid who's not even a year old? Where's your dignity as the Princess of the Underworld?"
Chu Chu puffed up her cheeks and retorted, "She is a vixen, you know that! She wronged me, and as a dignified Demon Lord, are you going to let her talk nonsense?" After saying that, she did not forget to make a face at Lu Chenguang, looking both cute and helpless.
Lu Chenguang sighed deeply, revealing a hint of doting in his helplessness, "Since we're here, let's talk business first. After we finish talking about business, I promise you, I will take you out for a small cake, not the kind with Yuanyuan."
When Chu Chu heard this suggestion, the gloom on her face immediately dissipated. She pouted, but with a hint of coquettishness, she said, "That's more like it."
Lu Chenguang smiled and handed a bottle of milk to Chuchu. "Drink while you talk?" Chuchu took the milk and took a sip. Then her expression became serious. She looked at Lu Chenguang and asked seriously, "Could the magic circle you mentioned be related to my mother? I thought about it carefully. The time when my mother disappeared coincided with the time when you arrived in the human world. So, I suspect that the magic circle may have some connection with my mother."
Lu Chenguang had naturally considered this possibility, but each time he thought about it, his heart felt heavy as if weighed down by a huge rock. If the connection between living beings and magic were confirmed, it would likely mean that the living beings were the core of the magic circle. However, if the core were to be left without permission or damaged, the balance of the six realms would be disrupted, bringing immeasurable disaster.
Unless someone is willing to switch and become the center of the formation.
Lu Chenguang knew all this, but he chose not to tell Chuchu directly. He just said softly: "Let's find the magic circle first, and then make plans. There's no rush. I will keep looking for clues, so you don't have to worry. In the human world, you can enjoy filming and the rest of your time."
Chuchu's big eyes rolled around, as if she could see through people's hearts. She stared at Lu Chenguang, her tone full of playfulness and questioning: "You must be hiding something from me, right?"
Lu Chenguang felt a little uncomfortable with Chuchu's blunt questioning. He deliberately avoided her gaze, coughed lightly, and tried to change the subject: "What could I possibly be hiding from you? There's no need for me to report everything about my demon clan to you, right?"
However, Chuchu was not fooled by his words. She chuckled and directly revealed Lu Chenguang's secret: "Stop pretending. Why didn't you tell me that you can hear my thoughts?"
After hearing what Chuchu said, Lu Chenguang finally realized his negligence. He shook his head helplessly and jokingly said, "Do you think it's a good thing to hear your thoughts? You curse me in your heart all the time, and I have to endure it. Do you think this is a good thing?"
Chuchu smiled and said, "When I praised you, weren't you also very proud? It's strange, you said that when I first met you, you had an extraordinary demeanor and didn't act like a child. Later, it turned out to be true."
Chu Chu smiled and continued, "Speaking of which, when you first appeared in front of me, I felt that you were not an ordinary child. Now it has been proven that my vision was correct."
Lu Chenguang raised his eyebrows proudly, his tone full of confidence: "You are the princess, so you naturally have the ability to recognize pearls. Shouldn't I be proud of this?"
Hearing this, Chu Chu stood up lightly from the sofa, her eyes flashing with anticipation: "Okay, enough small talk, now it's time for you to fulfill your promise and take me out for some cake."
Lu Chenguang responded with a smile: "Come on, I'll take you there right away."
The two went downstairs together, and Lu Chenguang told Ren Jinting that he wanted to take Chuchu to play nearby for a while.
Ren Jinting had just nodded in agreement when Yuanyuan started crying. She mumbled, "Brother, hold me..."
Chuchu frowned slightly, vaguely sensing Yuanyuan's thoughts. Then, she clearly heard Yuanyuan's inner voice: "Hmph, I'll piss you off to death! My brother will definitely take me with him if he sees me crying."
Chuchu's face darkened. If she hadn't considered Yuanyuan's youth, she would have been furious. She thought silently, "A fox playing Liao Zhai, even I, the dignified princess, am no match for it."
[If Lu Chenguang dares to take this little fox with him today, I will break up with him.] Chuchu's determination burned in her heart.
Ren Jinting also noticed Yuanyuan's intention. She gently picked up Yuanyuan and comforted her softly, "Yuanyuan, don't cry. Brother and sister have to go and do something busy now. When you can walk, let them take you out to play, okay?"
Although Yuanyuan was young, she seemed to understand what Ren Jinting said. She stopped crying, but she was still thinking: "My godmother still understands me the best. So what if my brother is a demon? He is still bewitched by a little vixen like me."
Lu Chenguang, who was standing aside, finally couldn't stand it anymore. He shouted in a deep voice, "Chu Chu!" There was a hint of warning in his voice.
Chu Chu felt aggrieved and started to cry, "Lu Chenguang, you, you... you dare to be mean to me! I'm breaking up with you! I'll never come to you again, and I'll never share my affairs with you again. I can find my mother myself, you don't need to worry about me!"
