Pluto's hand was suspended in mid-air, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew very well that his momentary loss of control had caused irreparable harm to Chuchu.
He took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound gentler and more sincere. "Chu Chu, your father apologizes to you. No matter what happens, you are my daughter, and this is an unchangeable fact. As for the Soul-Destroying Curse just now, I did lose my mind, but that was not my intention. No one will care about your safety more than I do."
Chu Chu listened to Pluto's words, her eyes slightly red, but her eyes remained stubborn. She slowly stood up. Although her body was slightly staggering due to the impact just now, her persistence made her seem particularly strong.
"Father, I have received your apology, but the scars in my heart cannot be healed with just a simple apology. I need time to understand and accept all of this. You raised and cared for me for thousands of years, taught me skills, and taught me to read. I will never forget this kindness."
The disappointment in her eyes was obviously difficult to heal for a while.
Pluto could only sigh, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
She looked around; those once familiar faces now seemed so strange, as if her world had been turned upside down overnight.
Chu Chu's gaze finally fell on Hades, and with a hint of complicated emotions, she asked, "Then, Father, can you tell me who my biological father is? Why did I become the Princess of the Underworld, but he never appeared?"
Hearing this, Pluto's face changed slightly. He hadn't expected Chuchu to ask such a direct question. This question, for him, was also a secret that was difficult to talk about. He was silent for a moment, as if searching for the most appropriate words to answer.
"Chu Chu, your life story is actually... a complicated and long one. I will tell you later, but today is not the right time."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chu, with her injuries on, chanted a spell and disappeared from the spot in an instant, taking Tian Yi and Mi Li with her.
Hades sighed deeply, then with a grim expression, he said sternly, "Who leaked the news? Investigate thoroughly!"
Several ghost officials should be there.
Youlan said, "Lord Pluto, I saw Millie earlier. She was the maid that Biwu brought back then. I think she was the one who told the princess the truth."
Hades thought for a moment and nodded, "You can continue to stay here peacefully. Chuchu's matter still needs to be considered in the long run."
Youlan responded, "It's time for the princess to return to the underworld. If she continues to indulge herself, she'll probably go looking for Princess Biwu again."
"Let's discuss it later." Hades had his own considerations. Bringing Chu Chu back to the underworld at this time would only make things worse.
…
Chuchu was injured and returned to the human world. She was in the RV. Ma Li was there, so Tianyi didn't dare to ask about her injury.
But Chuchu, who had recovered to the body of a three or four-year-old child, had a pale face and empty eyes.
Tian Yi formed a small barrier and said, "Princess Di, I will ask the Demon Lord to come here. Your injury cannot be treated any longer."
Chu Chu replied with a dull look in her eyes, "Didn't he say that the Imperius Curse has no effect on me? There's no need to disturb the Demon Lord. It's just a minor injury."
Tian Yi was reluctant to persuade her, "Princess Di, please let the Demon Lord come. He speaks and acts in a reasonable way, so you can discuss things with him."
The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive. Chuchu's tiny body huddled in a corner of the RV, her pale face etched with a sadness and toughness unbefitting of her age. Tianyi saw it all, anxious in his heart. He knew that even a minor injury could harbor hidden dangers for this princess of special bloodline.
Just as he hesitated, an inexplicable wave quietly rippled through the surrounding space, and then, a powerful demonic energy instantly filled the entire RV. Tian Yi stood up vigilantly, protecting Chu Chu. He saw a purple shadow flash by, and a person stood in the center of the RV. It was the Demon Lord - Lu Chenguang.
Lu Chenguang came as the Demon Lord, wearing a black robe, with long hair like ink, and eyes as deep as the sea, as if he could see through everything in the world.
He ignored Tianyi's vigilance and walked straight towards Chuchu, with a subtle hint of heartache and complexity flashing in his eyes.
"Are you still injured?" His voice was low and magnetic, carrying an irresistible force.
Chuchu looked up and saw Lu Chenguang. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but then she regained her composure: "Lord Demon Lord, why are you here?" Her voice was soft, but it carried a hint of stubbornness that was barely noticeable.
Lu Chenguang sighed softly and didn't answer directly. Instead, he reached out and gently placed his hand on Chuchu's forehead. A warm and pure magical power flowed from his palm, slowly seeping into Chuchu's body and beginning to repair her damaged meridians and soul.
As the magic power was infused, Chuchu's face gradually regained some color, and the emptiness in her eyes gradually gave way to a radiant glow. She felt the warm power within her body, and an inexplicable feeling of emotion welled up in her heart: "Thank you, Lord Demon."
Lu Chenguang withdrew his hand and looked at Chuchu with deep eyes. "There's no need to thank me between you and me. Although your injury is serious, it's not fundamental. You will recover after some time of recuperation. However, if I hadn't arrived in time, the consequences of your impulsive actions would be disastrous."
Chu Chu lowered her head and asked, "How did you know I was injured?"
Lu Chenguang said calmly: "Lord Pluto told me to let me come to see you."
Chu Chu didn't respond, muttering softly: "Fake mercy."
Lu Chenguang smiled and said, "Your injury hasn't healed completely yet. I'll take you to the Demon Realm to treat you. There's a magical medicine in the Demon Realm that can cure you completely and quickly."
Chuchu thought about it and agreed.
Lu Chenguang picked up Chuchu and passed through the unique portal of the Demon Realm, instantly crossing the boundaries of time and space and coming to this mysterious and powerful world - the Demon Realm. He felt different every time he came.
In a quiet valley in the Demon Realm, Lu Chenguang set up a temporary treatment place for Chu Chu.
This place is surrounded by dense forests, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and herbs, as if it is a pure land specially prepared by nature for Chuchu.
Lu Chenguang took out various precious medicinal herbs and magical instruments from the storage ring he carried with him and began to treat Chuchu.
In this quiet place gently embraced by the dense forest, the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and the unique freshness of herbs. Chuchu looked around, her eyes flashing with surprise and admiration.
"I never thought that there would be such a pure land in the demon world, which makes people feel relaxed and happy." She said softly to Lu Chenguang, her tone full of emotion.
