When Chu Chu heard this, she tensed up, her eyes widened, and she immediately found the source of the sound.
"Who dares to play tricks in front of me! Come out!" She shouted loudly, her voice revealing unquestionable majesty.
As her words fell, ripples appeared in the air, and a translucent ghost figure slowly emerged. In the darkness and blur, a female ghost quietly emerged. She was wearing a tattered white robe, and the sleeves swayed gently in the wind, as if it was woven from moonlight, but it also revealed a hint of chill that penetrated people's hearts.
Her face was as pale as paper, revealing a sickly, haggard beauty. Her eyes were deep and hollow, like two bottomless wells, occasionally flickering with a cunning and resentful light, like the most cunning foxlight in the night, tempting the curiosity of passers-by but making them afraid to look directly. The faint dark circles around her eyes outlined a melancholy that came from a long life of vicissitudes and a sleepless night.
Her figure was thin and elusive, as if condensed from the lightest mist. Every slight movement was accompanied by a subtle tremor, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be swallowed by an invisible force and dissipated into nothingness. Her hair was a waterfall, dark and messy, and from time to time, a few strands of hair gently brushed against her pale face, adding a sense of sadness and mystery.
At her fingertips, a faint, pale blue light flickered gently. It was a light unique to the netherworld, a warning to the living and a testament to her own existence. She moved slowly, the ground beneath her feet seeming to tremble slightly with her steps, leaving behind a trail of ethereal footprints that were soon swallowed up by the night, leaving no trace.
She said, "Princess Qingming, please stay. I know you are worried about rescuing your mother, and I know how to do it."
Chu Chu heard this and her heart moved, but she remained calm on the surface: "You? Why do you think I will believe you?"
The woman smiled faintly, a smile tinged with bitterness and helplessness. "I once wandered the demonic realm like your mother, but due to a moment of confusion, I made a grave mistake and was imprisoned here. But I know that your mother, Bi Wu, took your place in the Qiankun Liuhe Formation as the centerpiece. The method you master is yours to replace. But I have a method to rescue your mother, and you don't have to replace her."
Chu Chu frowned, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? What are the conditions?"
Mi Die sighed softly, a hint of greed in her eyes. "The condition is this: Princess Diji will set me free, and I want to return to the Demon Realm. I know Princess Diji has doubts, but I swear on my life that I will never do evil again, and I will tell you how to rescue your mother."
Chuchu was silent for a moment, her eyes wandering between Qingtian and Tianyi, as if seeking their opinions.
Although Qingtian looked dissatisfied, he did not object in the end.
Tian Yi was more cautious. He said, "Princess Emperor, this ghost girl's appearance is so strange. She might be up to something."
Chuchu responded softly, then looked at Midie and said, "Tell me how to break this game first, and I'll let you go. It's easy for me."
Mi Die's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "Princess, you're right to be cautious. I can reveal one thing first: there's a woman hidden in your father's Pluto Palace. No, it should be said that she's a soul. If it weren't for her, Princess Biwu wouldn't have been the center of the formation."
Chu Chu was extremely surprised when she heard this, but she pretended to be calm. She asked coldly, "What did you say? There's a woman hidden in my father's palace? Do you know that if you spread rumors about my father like this, you will be wiped out and you won't be able to reincarnate in the six realms!"
The ghost girl knelt humbly in front of Chuchu, "Princess, I dare not make up a rumor. My mother also knows about this matter. Her name is Youlan. Princess, you will know it once you check."
Chuchu looked at Qingtian and Tianyi, both of them were obviously surprised, as they had never heard of this Youlan.
Chuchu thought for a moment and put the female ghost on the panda doll in her bag. "Let's go back to the human world first. I have things to do there, and I will investigate further. We must not alert the enemy."
Qingtian and Tianyi responded in unison.
Following Chuchu's command, the three people and the female ghost Midie instantly turned into several streams of light, crossed the boundary between the underworld and the human world, and returned to the prosperous and noisy human world.
In a hidden place somewhere in the human world, they descended gently, trying not to attract human attention.
"Tianyi, Qingtian, you two should return to Jincheng as soon as possible. I will go and meet up with Assistant Ma." Chuchu ordered.
Qingtian disappeared in a flash.
But Tian Yi did not leave. "Princess Di, this female ghost has an unknown origin. If she escapes, she will definitely implicate you. I will let my subordinates accompany you to the movie studio to film and investigate while you are there."
Chuchu agreed, and Tianyi instantly transformed into a cat and jumped lightly onto Chuchu's shoulder.
Another gust of wind brought us to the place where we had agreed to meet Assistant Ma.
In the courtyard, Assistant Ma had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Chuchu return safely, he felt relieved and stepped forward to report, "Miss Chuchu, the old lady's matter has been handled. According to your instructions, I contacted medical institutions in the human world and provided the best treatment and care for the old lady. Her condition is now stable and she is out of danger. She has a vague memory of everything in the outside world and only knows that she was saved by a kind person. In addition, her two sons went to visit her. Li Hua agreed to your suggestion, but ultimately did not accept the money. He said he had his own money."
Chuchu smiled with satisfaction and expressed her approval of Assistant Ma's meticulous work.
At this moment, Tian Yi's sudden appearance did startle Assistant Ma. She said with a hint of surprise, "Ms. Chu Chu, when did the cat come? I don't remember bringing it with me when we set out."
Chuchu explained with a smile, "Oh, this little guy insisted on clinging to me. Mom was worried about him later, so she specially arranged for someone to bring him here. Don't worry, he's very easy to take care of. He has food, water, and a nest, so he can live safely."
Assistant Ma's doubts vanished upon hearing this, and he quickly said, "No, no, I don't mind having another cat to look after. I'm just worried that you might overlook its presence while you're busy filming."
Chuchu smiled softly, with a hint of doting in her words: "It's okay, it's already used to being ignored and enjoys the peace and quiet. Let's set off now and head to our next destination."
Assistant Ma listened to Chu Chu’s words and although he felt that they were a little subtle, he did not think about it any more and followed Chu Chu and her group on their new journey.
