Lu Chenguang smiled faintly and flicked his seemingly ordinary storage ring. Suddenly, a variety of medicinal herbs and magical instruments, shimmering with strange light, appeared before them. "Although this place is in the demonic realm, it is also where the power of nature is most abundant, specially created for healing," he explained, then picked up a herb called "Netherworld Grass." Its leaves glowed a faint blue in the moonlight, appearing particularly mysterious.
"This Nether Grass is a rare treasure from the demonic realm, possessing extraordinary healing powers." Lu Chenguang said as he carefully crushed the herb and gently cleansed Chuchu's wound with its juice. The cool sensation made Chuchu gasp softly, followed by a feeling of relief and comfort.
"How do you feel?" Lu Chenguang asked with concern, his eyes falling gently on Chuchu.
Chuchu opened her eyes, a glint of gratitude in them. "It feels cool and comfortable, as if all the pain has dissipated at this moment." She took a deep breath and continued, "Also, I can feel a warm power flowing through my body, repairing every inch of my body that was damaged."
Lu Chenguang nodded, satisfied with Chuchu's reaction. "Next, I will use my magic power to further help you repair your meridians and soul."
There was unquestionable firmness in his words. He then gently raised his hands, closed his eyes and concentrated. Streams of warm and pure magic power flowed out from his palms and slowly poured into Chu Chu's body.
Chuchu closed her eyes, lost in the enveloping power. She felt as if she were in a warm ocean, all her fatigue and pain gently soothed by this power, replaced by an unprecedented sense of peace and comfort. She could even feel the vitality within her body gradually reviving, like a bud breaking through the ground in spring, full of vitality and hope.
"How amazing..." Chuchu whispered softly, her voice full of wonder and gratitude. She knew that all these changes were due to Lu Chenguang's help and dedication.
This incident alarmed the demon princess Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan's appearance, like a sudden flash of lightning in the night sky, instantly shattered the tranquility of this healing place. She was dressed in gorgeous demonic attire, and every step she took exuded a dignity and nobility that could not be underestimated. However, her eyes, fixed intently on Lu Chenguang and Chuchu, concealed a complex emotion—jealousy, confusion, and a subtle hint of hurt.
"Brother, I thought that I could at least occupy a place in your heart." Ye Xuan's voice was a little choked. She slowly approached, her eyes moving back and forth between the two of them, and finally fixed on Lu Chenguang. There was not only anger flashing in her purple eyes, but also deep loss.
"I was accidentally injured earlier and begged you to take me to this secret place to recuperate, but you refused, citing your busy schedule. And now, you're enjoying everything here with the Princess of the Underworld. You're truly heartbreaking!"
Lu Chenguang's purple pupils seemed to gather a storm at this moment. He stared at Ye Xuan coldly, his tone devoid of warmth: "Ye Xuan, your last injury was very minor, there is no need to enter the secret realm. Also, I have my own reasons for doing things, and there is no need to explain them to you one by one. As for the marriage, I volunteered."
Ye Xuan's face turned even paler when she heard this. She pointed at Chu Chu with a trembling finger, her voice filled with resentment and anger: "What about her? Why should she enjoy all this? She's just a princess from a foreign race!"
Seeing this, Chu Chu frowned and explained, "Princess Ye Xuan, please don't misunderstand me. I have no intention of competing for anything. As the princess said, I come from the underworld, but I am also half-demon. My injuries require the magic power unique to the demon world to heal. The Demon Lord brought me here purely out of consideration for my injuries, and he has no other intentions."
Ye Xuan's emotions were out of control. She simply refused to listen to Chu Chu's explanation and sneered, "Shut up! This is the Demon Realm. You're an outsider, what right do you have to butt in? Do you think your explanation can change anything? Brother, you've changed. You're no longer the brother who loved me."
Lu Chenguang frowned, obviously impatient with Ye Xuan's unreasonable behavior.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then slowly said: "Ye Xuan, Chu Chu's injury does need treatment. As for the brother-sister relationship between you and me, it has never changed. I'm busy, you leave first."
After saying that, Lu Chenguang no longer paid attention to Ye Xuan, but turned to Chu Chu and said, "Let's continue the treatment..."
The sound of hurried footsteps and heavy breathing broke the silence around them.
A monster wearing black armor and with a mysterious totem on his face suddenly appeared in front of the three people. His eyes flashed with anxiety and fear, and he obviously brought extremely urgent news.
"Lord Demon Lord, please allow me to report this urgently!" The demon's voice trembled with nervousness. He knelt on one knee, clenched his fists, and bowed his head respectfully. "Urgent news from the front: the place where the Demon King is sealed has suddenly moved. The power fluctuations are unprecedented. Our guards and magic circles are experiencing an unprecedented impact. Although we resist with all our might, the Demon King's magic power is too great, and it seems that he is about to break the seal and escape."
It took a lot of effort to find the demon king, and it took a lot of effort to seal him up.
Having said this, the monster raised its head slightly and quickly glanced at Lu Chenguang, as if seeking a final hope and instructions: "Although we have tried our best, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold out until the Lord of the Six Realms arrives. If we don't deal with it in time, it may cause an even greater disaster."
Chu Chu's face instantly became solemn when she heard this. She knew very well that once the Demon King escaped, it would be a devastating blow to the entire Demon World and even the Six Realms.
Lu Chenguang, with a solemn expression, gave Chuchu a comforting look. He then turned to face the monster and said in a steady and powerful voice, "Immediately gather all available forces and send reinforcements to the place where the Demon King is sealed. At the same time, send an emergency call for help to the Lord of the Six Realms, explaining the critical situation and requesting him to come as soon as possible."
When they arrived at the spot where the demon king had moved, the scene before them was shocking. The once lush, vibrant landscape was now a shattered mess, with fallen trees and raging earth and rocks, as if it had just experienced a catastrophe. And the magic circle that should have been as solid as a mountain, protecting this land, now faltered like a candle in the wind, shaken by an invisible yet powerful demonic force, its light flickering, as if it would collapse at any moment.
The roar of the demon king resounded through the sky like thunder, shaking people's minds. The voice was full of anger, violence and desire for freedom, as if it wanted to swallow up the whole world.
With each roar, the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart, forming visible ripples that spread in all directions.
Lu Chenguang roared: "Prepare for battle!"
Then, he flashed and rushed towards the crumbling magic circle like lightning. Ye Xuan and Chu Chu followed closely behind him. The three of them were like an unstoppable torrent, vowing to protect this seal.
