Chuchu sighed, "I have a lot of worries. My trip to the crew has been postponed for three days."
Chuchu has already called her assistant.
Tian Yi speculated and asked, "Princess Emperor, do you want to rescue Princess Biwu?"
Chu Chu nodded, "But we still need to wait, my magic power has not yet fully recovered."
Tian Yi then asked, "Then, Princess, was it because of Yaksha that you entered that silly boy's sea of consciousness today?"
Chuchu replied: "Yes, the turbid energy of the Yaksha is very strong. I need to enter the sea of consciousness twice more to clear it out."
Tian Yi was almost timid, "Your Highness clearly has a clear mind and has thought everything through. Can you sleep peacefully now?"
Chuchu glanced out the window and saw a purple beam of light passing through the night sky.
"Where did Lu Chenguang go? Could he have returned to the Demon Realm?" Chu Chu suddenly became excited when she thought of this. "Let's go to the Demon Realm, shall we? It's been a long time since I've been there."
Tian Yi yawned, "Did the princess cast a spell this time?"
Chu Chu looked very easy to talk to: "Okay, let's see if my magic has improved."
After saying that, Chuchu started to move. Chuchu took a deep breath, closed her eyes and concentrated, and a soft yet majestic light began to slowly gather around her body.
She gently raised her hands, and as her fingers interlaced, it seemed as if thousands of stars were dancing on her fingertips. It was the dormant spiritual power in her body that was being awakened, ready to cross the boundaries of time and space and take them to the distant and mysterious demon world.
As Chu Chu hummed the ancient spell, a faint violet fragrance filled the air, a unique aura of her spiritual power. The spell flowed like a stream, clear and melodious, yet imbued with incredible power.
Her eyes suddenly opened, with determination and resoluteness flashing in them. Then she pushed her hands forward, and the light gathered around her instantly turned into a dazzling purple beam of light, shooting straight into the sky, tearing open the space, and forming a portal to the demon world.
Seeing this, Tian Yi, although feeling tired, could not hide his excitement. He quickly caught up with Chu Chu's pace and stepped into the unknown territory together.
Passing through the light gate, the two seemed to have traveled through a time tunnel. The surrounding scene changed rapidly, gradually transforming from the prosperity of the human world to the desolation and weirdness unique to the demon world.
The demonic realm, a world utterly different from the human world, was permeated with a thick darkness and demonic aura. The sky was no longer azure blue and white, but an endless, deep night, with sparse stars and a pale moonlight. The ground was parched and cracked, occasionally punctuated by a few twisted, dark plants emitting a faint green light. The air was thick with the smell of sulfur and blood, leaving one feeling oppressive and uneasy.
Chuchu and Tianyi journeyed through the gloomy demonic realm. With Chuchu's keen intuition, they quickly tracked the direction of the Demon King's palace. It was a massive palace constructed of black boulders, towering into the clouds. Its imposing presence was majestic, yet it also exuded an endless eerie and terrifying atmosphere. The palace was heavily guarded. The demon soldiers and generals, clad in heavy armor and wielding sharp blades, their eyes betraying a disregard for life and a thirst for battle.
Chuchu didn't hesitate at all and rushed directly to the Demon King's palace. Her speed was so fast, like a ghost, that the surrounding demon soldiers and generals had no time to react.
Tianyi followed closely behind, although his speed was slightly slower, it was still enough to keep up with Chuchu's pace.
When Chuchu and Tianyi broke into the hall of the Demon King's palace, they saw the Demon King sitting high on the throne with a stern face and eyes as sharp as an eagle.
He wore a long black robe embroidered with intricate demonic patterns, emitting a chilling aura. Below him, a dense crowd of demon generals bowed their heads, listening to his instructions.
"Who dares to trespass into the Demon King's palace!" Lu Chenguang's voice was low and powerful, echoing in the hall like thunder.
Chu Chu had long since returned to her appearance as the Princess of the Underworld. She entered the hall with a smile and walked gracefully over: "It's me. I saw the Demon Lord return to the Demon Realm, and I followed him out of curiosity."
Lu Chenguang looked at Chuchu, his eyes filled with tenderness that seemed to dissolve all the gloom around him. "Chuchu, please go back first. Once I finish my business, I'll come find you right away, okay?" His tone was gentle yet firm, revealing his deep concern and commitment to Chuchu.
Upon hearing this, Chu Chu paused slightly, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes: "In that case, I will not disturb the Lord Demon from dealing with things. It seems that my appearance is indeed inappropriate, so I will take my leave first and wait for good news." After saying this, she smiled lightly and turned to leave.
However, at this moment, a demon minister stepped forward, his voice booming, breaking the silence within the hall: "My Lord Demon, the recent arrival of Princess Qingming is truly a providential event. We are anxiously awaiting the ties between our two realms to jointly resist the rampage of the demon realm. Demons are now rampant, committing all manner of evil, yet the heavens stand idly by. How can the demon realm sit idly by? In your opinion, we should take this opportunity to arrange your marriage to Princess Qingming in advance, as a symbol of our alliance, to jointly plot a grand plan against the demons!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of discussion in the hall, with some agreeing and some expressing concerns.
"This matter still needs to be decided by the King of Hell himself, and the approval of Princess Qingming is also indispensable." There was a subtlety in Lu Chenguang's words, and it was obvious that he approved of this arrangement.
Chu Chu heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then turned to ask: "You mean... to talk about marriage now?"
Lu Chenguang nodded calmly, his tone filled with unquestionable determination: "Indeed, the time has come, that's about it."
Chuchu took a few steps forward with light lotus steps, her tone filled with a sense of heroism and uninhibitedness: "Fighting against the demon world is our common responsibility. Even without the bond of marriage, the underworld will stand on the side of justice without hesitation. Demon Lord, do you think that my underworld lacks this responsibility and courage?"
Lu Chenguang shook his head slightly, his eyes deep: "I have never had such intentions."
He then mentioned the impending return, the fleeting fifteen years in the human world, and the pressing preparatory tasks. Chu Chu, upon hearing this, immediately displayed her decisive character: "In that case, I will immediately report to my father and ask if he is willing to fight alongside all realms. Demon Lord, once you have discussed this with your subordinates, please quickly return to the Underworld to discuss the plan."
Lu Chenguang agreed and watched Chuchu and Tianyi transform into a brilliant red light and disappear at the edge of the demon world in an instant.
After arriving in the underworld, Chu Chu could vaguely hear the tired conversation of the ghost officials, talking about the surge of souls and the tragic situations caused by demons wreaking havoc on the human world.
"I've been so tired lately, and there are so many souls."
"Yes, there are quite a few young souls appearing."
"Monsters are rampant in the human world, and many people have died..."
"Some people have lost their essence and are unable to reincarnate."
Her expression grew increasingly solemn, and she secretly thought to herself that perhaps all this was the Demon King's revenge for her last escape.
Appearing before the ghost messengers, Chuchu's face was stern and resolute. She dignifiedly inquired about the severity of the situation and her father's decision. Seeing this, the ghost messengers hurriedly knelt in greeting. One of them replied tremblingly, "Lord Hades is desperately planning a countermeasure and is even considering negotiating with the Demon King to ease the situation."
Chu Chu snorted softly and said nothing more. She understood everything in her heart. She turned and walked quickly towards the Palace of Hades.
