Chu Chu said: "That's okay. You can think about it slowly. Now sit cross-legged and I will cast a spell."
Xiao Qian looked around and realized that he had no ability to go back, so he had no choice but to do as he was told.
Chuchu continued to instruct: "Close your eyes and breathe evenly."
Xiao Qian did as he was told.
Chuchu slowly raised her hands, a powerful red glow condensing from her fingertips. She parted her red lips and began to whisper an ancient spell, her voice echoing in the darkness of the underworld with a strange rhythm.
As the spell was chanted, the red halo swirled faster and faster above Xiao Qian's head, like a giant whirlpool, drawing his soul deeply into it. Xiao Qian's breathing gradually became even and deep, and blurry images began to emerge in his mind, and those long-forgotten fragments of memory began to slowly piece together.
In the scene, Yan Lie, clad in armor and wielding a longsword, engages a horde of underworld enemies in fierce combat. Every swing of his sword burns like fire, every strike carries devastating force. His eyes reveal only unwavering faith and boundless courage. He is the guardian of the underworld and the hope of all.
At the height of the battle, a powerful dark force suddenly attacked. To protect Chuchu and the others, Yan Lie stood in front without hesitation. He used his body to withstand all the attacks. At that moment, his soul seemed to be torn into pieces, scattered in every corner of the underworld.
Chuchu's tears streamed down her cheeks, and she focused her magical power even more intently on Xiao Qian. She knew this was her only chance to regain Yan Lie's memory. She couldn't give up; she had to succeed.
Suddenly, a powerful force came from deep underground, and the entire underworld began to shake.
A dark figure emerged from the darkness. It was Hades, the supreme ruler of the underworld. He felt the powerful magical fluctuations emanating from Chu Chu and Xiao Qian, and his brows furrowed.
"Who is casting forbidden spells in the underworld?" The voice of Hades echoed in the underworld like thunder.
Chu Chu took a deep breath, looked up in the direction of Hades, and bowed respectfully: "Father, it's me. I found Yan Lie, but he is just an ordinary human with no memory of the past. I am trying to help him restore his memory."
Hades was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Chu Chu, do you know the consequences of doing this? Yan Lie's memory has been eroded by the power of darkness for too long. Forcibly awakening him may cause him to lose himself."
Allen Chu nodded: "Father, I know. This is just one time, I won't do it again. He is my bodyguard, I can't just ignore him!"
As Hades finished speaking, the vibration gradually subsided.
Chuchu once again focused her attention on Xiao Qian.
She felt his soul gradually becoming stronger and clearer under the nourishment of the red halo.
Those fragments of memory eroded by darkness began to be pieced together piece by piece, eventually converging into a complete picture.
Xiao Qian suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, looked at Chuchu deeply, and saluted: "Princess, your subordinate Yan Lie has remembered the past. Thank you for your constant search for me."
Chu Chu was also very emotional, with tears in her eyes: "Welcome back, Yan Lie."
Yan Lie hummed: "Princess Di, I will always protect you."
The Hades noticed the presence of Demon Lord Lu Chenguang, and his eyes immediately became sharp: "Master Demon Lord is here too, why aren't you talking?"
Lu Chenguang slowly emerged from the darkness, his black robe fluttering in the wind, appearing both mysterious and majestic. A calm smile graced his face, and his violet eyes shone brightly in the gloom of the underworld, making him particularly conspicuous. "I'm here with the princess. It's nothing serious, don't worry, Pluto."
The Hades said in a deep voice, "However, the relationship between the Underworld and the Demon Realm is now complex and changeable, and many things need to be handled with caution. I hope that Lord Demon can understand."
Lu Chenguang nodded, showing his understanding. He knew that what Pluto said was true, but he also believed that his ability and wisdom could handle any situation.
At this moment, a piece of news suddenly came from the human world, attracting everyone's attention.
"Your Excellency the Underworld, the Demon Lord, and the Princess, news has arrived from the human realm: the Ghost King has appeared." A messenger from the Underworld hurried over, a look of horror on his face. "Five people have died tragically in a supermarket. According to eyewitnesses, the Ghost King appeared at the scene."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces darkened. The Ghost King was a powerful being in the Underworld, and he had long sought an opportunity to return to the human world. Now that he had finally appeared, this undoubtedly posed a huge threat to both the Underworld and the human world.
"Ghost King?" Hades asked in a deep voice, "Why does he keep killing people?"
The messenger replied, "According to eyewitnesses, the Ghost King seems to be searching for something. Every time he kills someone, he takes an item from them."
"Take the item?" Chu Chu asked doubtfully, "Could it be some important clue or magical tool?"
Pluto and Lu Chenguang also fell into deep thought. They knew that this matter was of great importance and if it was not resolved in time, it would bring endless disasters to the human world.
"Father, we must act quickly." Chu Chu said in a deep voice, "The appearance of the Ghost King in the human world will not only pose a threat to the human world, but also to the underworld. We must stop him."
"You go, father will send reinforcements." Although Hades was worried, he still asked Chu Chu to leave the underworld as soon as possible to do the work.
Back in the human world, everything returned to normal.
Xiao Qian seemed to have experienced a cycle of life and death, and suddenly woke up, as if he had escaped from a deep dream.
His gaze focused on Chu Chu and Lu Cheguang. He immediately straightened up and saluted respectfully: "Your subordinate Xiao Qian greets the Princess and the Demon Lord."
Chuchu gently waved her hand, her tone firm but gentle: "This is the human world, the etiquette is too complicated, there is no need to do so in the future."
Xiao Qian nodded in agreement, his attitude humble and respectful.
Chuchu smiled, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. "You will continue to live as an idol artist. This will be a perfect cover for you to hide your true identity. Your new mission is to secretly search for Chi Yan's whereabouts."
Xiao Qian's face was serious, and he answered in a resounding voice, "Yes, I will do my best to live up to the trust placed in me by the princess."
Chu Chu displayed her dignity and decisiveness as an imperial concubine: "Okay, I will go to the mall to check the body now, and you can complete your filming task with peace of mind."
Xiao Qian answered respectfully again: "Yes, Princess." His voice was firm and powerful, like an oath, promising to complete the task.
