On the way, Chuchu was holding a cute toy Kusame Bear and looked like she liked it very much.
Assistant Ma asked curiously, "Is this a gift from your fans? It looks so beautiful!"
Chuchu smiled and nodded, "Yes, fans are really discerning. Aunt Ma, every time we receive a gift from a fan, we must keep it well and not throw it away or put it anywhere else, as that would make them sad."
Assistant Ma nodded repeatedly, "No wonder Miss Chuchu is so popular. You even consider such a small matter so carefully. I never thought you would be so capable since you were only three years old."
Chu Chu smiled slightly and continued, "I saw a news report a while ago about a male celebrity who threw the dolls and flowers given by fans directly into the subway station. As a result, he was severely criticized by netizens. In fact, those artists who can remain popular for a long time are not only because of their good looks and strong abilities, but more importantly, their character and attitude towards fans."
Assistant Ma and the driver were both impressed and almost applauded. They had never imagined that Chuchu, who normally didn't even like going to kindergarten, could have such a broad mind and vision.
Chuchu was actually thinking about entering the sea of consciousness to practice, so she said to Assistant Ma considerately: "Auntie Ma, you are tired too, right? Close your eyes and rest for a while. We still have a long way to go. You have worked hard to take care of me."
Assistant Ma said thank you gratefully and closed his eyes to rest.
Chu Chu concentrated her mind and instantly crossed the boundaries of reality, taking Tian Yi and Mi Die with her into the vast sea of consciousness.
In this world constructed by her will, Chu Chu transformed into the majestic and arrogant Qingming Princess, surrounded by a faint green light, as if she could see through everything in the world and control all life and death cycles.
In Mi Die's view, the sea of consciousness was filled with clouds and mist, dotted with stars, and it was a mysterious scene.
She couldn't see the vast expanse of the sea within Chuchu's sea of consciousness, nor the huge, lush tree.
That's because Chuchu used a sleight of hand.
Her skills have not fully recovered yet, and she does not trust Mi Die, so she does this.
Mi Die was kneeling at the feet of Princess Qingming at this moment, her body trembling slightly, with both fear and expectation in her eyes.
She knew that her fate was now in the hands of the extremely noble Princess Qingming.
"Speak, Midie." Chuchu's voice was cold and majestic, echoing in every corner of his sea of consciousness. "Since you dare to say that you can rescue my mother, the Princess Biwu who is trapped in the center of the formation and even the Lord of the Six Realms is helpless, what do you rely on? What is your method?"
Mi Die took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound steady and clear. She knew every word she was about to say was crucial. "Princess, it's true. Princess Biwu becoming the centerpiece of the formation wasn't accidental; it was Youlan's idea. Youlan holds the only clue to solving this dilemma."
A solemn look gathered between Chuchu's brows, and she stared at Midie closely, as if she wanted to see through all the truth through her eyes.
"According to you, we must find Youlan first before we can hope to rescue my mother?" Her voice was soft, but it was filled with unquestionable determination.
Mi Die nodded, her eyes gleaming with sincerity. "Yes, Princess Di. Youlan is hiding in the Pluto Palace. Perhaps, because it's so secretive, you haven't noticed her presence even after visiting the Pluto Palace so many times."
Chu Chu frowned even more tightly upon hearing this. She recalled the countless times she had entered and exited the Pluto Palace. She was incredibly familiar with every brick and tile, every blade of grass, and every tree there, but she had never had the slightest inkling of Youlan's existence.
"That's my father's palace. I've been there countless times and know every corner like the back of my hand. How come I've never smelled her presence? How did she hide herself?"
Mi Die said, "Princess, Youlan is able to hide so deeply perhaps because she possesses some special ability that allows her to avoid all perception and detection. Or perhaps, her hiding place in the Palace of Hades is extremely special, protected by some powerful barrier, making it difficult for outsiders to detect."
Chu Chu understood, "You mean she was protected by my father? In front of me, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush!"
Mi Die agreed, but then revealed another shocking secret: "Princess Di, do you know your identity? You are not Lord Pluto's biological daughter!"
Chu Chu's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and the Qingming Sword in her hand trembled slightly. The tip of the sword was only a millimeter away from Mi Die's vital point, but it seemed as if time had frozen. Her voice was as cold as ice, and every word was filled with irresistible majesty: "You, dare to say another word of nonsense, and I will immediately destroy you!"
Mi Die was overwhelmed by Chu Chu's aura, her whole body trembling like a sieve, but she still mustered her courage and continued with all her strength, "Princess, please listen to my explanation. Lord Pluto, as the supreme being in the underworld, according to ancient legends and secret records, Pluto does not have the ability to give birth to offspring."
At this point, Midie's voice trembled slightly, as if she was hesitating whether to reveal the even more shocking secret.
Chuchu's eyes were like torches, as if she could see through everything. She shouted sternly, "Go on!"
Midie took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind. "You were brought back to the Underworld from the human world by Lord Hades and given a noble status. Although your bloodline is a mixture of human and Underworld power, you are not Lord Hades's direct bloodline. This secret is known only to the core few guardians of the Palace of Hades. The reason I know this is because..."
At this point, Midie paused and said, "Because your mother and I are good friends, I accidentally learned this secret."
The Qingming Sword in Chuchu's hand slowly returned to the scabbard, but her expression became even more gloomy.
She had never imagined that her identity would be so complicated, and she had never expected that her noble status in the underworld was based on such a shocking lie.
"Why are you telling me now?" Chuchu's voice was low and suppressed, as if it would explode at any time.
Mi Die looked up, her eyes filled with sincerity and fear. "Princess Di, I was trapped and had no chance to see you until today. Of course, today, I realized that perhaps this secret is closely related to your life experience and the future of the six realms. I dare not hide it anymore, so I can only take the risk and tell you."
Chuchu was silent for a long time, with complicated emotions surging in her heart. She didn't know how to face this sudden truth, and she didn't know what impact this truth would have on her.
But she knew that no matter what, she had to find Youlan, rescue her mother, and at the same time uncover the mystery of her own life.
"Midie, I hope what you said is true." Chuchu's voice regained its composure. "From now on, I will take you with me, and I will continue to look for other clues to prove everything you said. Then, as long as it can be proven that what you said is true, I will set you free."
Mi Die nodded repeatedly, feeling both relieved for surviving the disaster and worried about her future fate.
She knew that once she boarded Chuchu's boat, there was no turning back.
