Tian Yi quickly jumped onto the windowsill and scanned the surroundings with his sharp cat eyes. "The bird has flown away, Princess Di. But don't you think this is a bit strange? Could the bird be related to the Ghost King?"
Chu Chu pondered for a moment and shook her head: "As the king of all ghosts, would the Ghost King willingly turn into a bird? This seems unlikely."
Tian Yi's eyes flashed with a gleam. "Princess, the Ghost King is incredibly cunning. If he truly wants to act in the human world, he might not show up in person. He might use some means to conceal his whereabouts, and that bird could very well be his spy."
Chuchu lay back down and agreed: "Let him sleep. He will definitely be bored if he goes out alone. It's also possible that he can bring a few kids out to play."
Tianyi returned to the cat's nest and used his magic power, and the room instantly fell into darkness.
The neon lights outside flickered...
…
Jincheng
Song Yaqing gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled slightly, and responded: "Yes, it feels like I'm back to my student days, that kind of simple and pure happiness."
Gu Yechen looked at her, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes, "You know what? I always like being with you, whether it's watching a movie or doing other things. You always make me feel the beauty of life."
Song Yaqing lowered her head slightly, avoiding Gu Yechen's passionate gaze, feeling a little complicated.
She knew Gu Yechen's feelings for her, but the obsession in her heart made it impossible for her to fully accept it.
"Mr. Gu, I..." She hesitated for a moment, wanting to express her thoughts, but ultimately couldn't say it.
Gu Yechen seemed to understand her concerns and patted her shoulder gently. "Yaqing, you don't have to rush to answer me. I just want you to know that I will always be here, waiting for you to be ready."
The two walked side by side in the night, the street lights lengthening their shadows. Song Yaqing felt mixed emotions. She didn't know how to face Gu Yechen's feelings. She was a divorced woman with several children.
She thought of Chu Mingfeng, the man who once moved her heart but now chilled her. She had once thought they would be together forever, growing old together. However, reality was so cruel that she had to face the unavoidable truth.
She was worried that she would be deceived and divorced again!
Song Yaqing took a deep breath and made a decision. She knew she couldn't go on like this and had to make a change. Whether it was about her feelings for Gu Yechen or her past, she needed a clear answer.
"Mr. Gu, thank you for accompanying me to the movies today. It's a great movie." She raised her head and looked into Gu Yechen's eyes. "I'll think about it carefully. Give me some time."
Gu Yechen nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
…
Chuchu had a very long dream. She dreamed of her mother and the magic circle that Lu Chenguang mentioned.
She dreamed that she came to an ancient ruins, surrounded by a faint light, and in the center of this light was a strange magic circle she had never seen before.
This magic circle took on a complex geometric shape, its lines interwoven like the paths of stars, with both graceful curves and sharp corners. Ancient runes were carved along the edges of the formation, gleaming faintly as if telling of ancient legends.
The entire magic circle is like a giant eye, quietly gazing at the world around it, as if waiting for something.
In the center of the magic circle, Chuchu saw a familiar figure - her mother.
Her mother stood there, her eyes deep and gentle, as if she could see through Chuchu's soul.
Chuchu felt a strong surge of excitement, she rushed forward and hugged her mother tightly.
"Mother, why are you here?" Chuchu's voice was trembling with tears.
The mother stroked Chuchu's head with a smile and said softly, "Child, I have always been here, but you just don't know it."
Chuchu felt a warmth coming from her mother's hands. She looked up at her mother, her eyes full of confusion.
"Tell me quickly, what is this magic circle? Why are you here?"
The mother took a deep breath and said slowly, "This magic circle was left by an ancient guardian. It protects the six realms and maintains their balance."
Chuchu anxiously grabbed her mother's hand and said, "What are you doing here? Come back with me."
"Chu Chu, I am the core of this formation. Once I leave, all six realms will perish!"
Chuchu was shocked after hearing this. She couldn't imagine her mother willingly becoming the core of the formation to protect the six realms. She held her mother's hand tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Chuchu cried and asked: "Why did you do this? Why didn't you tell me?"
The mother smiled and shook her head. "Son, this is my responsibility."
A strong emotion surged in Chuchu's heart. She didn't want her mother to bear all these pains and sacrifices alone. She looked at her mother's gentle and firm eyes and felt extremely distressed.
Chu Chu said with determination: "Let me replace you and become the core of this formation."
After hearing this, the mother looked at Chu Chu in shock. She shook her head and said, "No, child, this is too dangerous. You are still young and have a long future ahead of you. You can't give up your life for me. You are the princess of the underworld and you have to protect the underworld. Don't be impulsive!"
"Mom, I've made up my mind." There was a firm glint in Chuchu's eyes.
The mother looked at Chuchu's determined eyes and was deeply moved. She knew that her daughter had grown up and had her own beliefs and courage.
She hugged Chuchu tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Chuchu's mother said coldly: "No, if you dare to move, I will die on the spot in front of you."
Seeing this, Chu Chu roared, "No, don't do this. Then at least tell me how to save you."
"This is my fate, no one can save me."
"Mother, then please at least tell me where this formation is. I can come find you next time, Mother..."
Chu Chu felt herself floating, and drifting further and further away...
She left her mother's arms and could no longer hold her mother's warm hands...
She sat up suddenly, only to see Bai Jing standing in front of her, her face full of concern: "Chu Chu, did you have a nightmare? Did you dream about your mother?"
Chuchu nodded, and Bai Jing wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "You're still crying. I'll ask the director to finish filming your scenes first, and then you can go home. After all, you're still young, only three years old."
Chu Chu nodded obediently, "Okay, Aunt Bai."
It's time for her to return to Jincheng.
