After Song Yaqing hung up the phone, a barely perceptible bitter smile appeared on her face. She turned around and looked at her daughter Chuchu who was standing beside her with a gentle and complicated look.
"Chuchu, your return really caught Mom off guard." Song Yaqing sighed softly, her tone both blaming and caring. "Tell me first, you were busy filming, why did you suddenly decide to come back? Can the crew let you go? Is there something that's worrying you?"
Chuchu took a step forward and gently took her mother's arm, her eyes flashing with determination and tenderness: "Mom, don't worry, I've asked for leave from the crew. Li Ao's house collapsed, and now the crew has stopped working. I'll go when we need to resume work."
Song Yaqing nodded. "Regarding the Taoist priest, I don't know any. How can you find one given the reality right in front of you? Besides, modern medicine is so advanced that if you are sick, you should go to the hospital and seek professional treatment. Your godmother was just anxious at the moment, but you can't follow her and do something reckless."
Chuchu smiled faintly, her eyes revealing a hint of mystery and confidence. "Don't worry, Mom. I know what I'm doing. Actually, I'm not really looking for a Taoist priest from outside. I just thought of someone more suitable."
"Lu Chenguang also has a special physique, and ordinary doctors can't treat him well."
Song Yaqing wondered why Lu Chenguang could accept his eccentric daughter: "Oh? Then what are you going to do?"
Chuchu replied, "I plan to have Qingtian dress up as a monk, and then mom can just take us over there."
Song Yaqing sighed, "This matter must be handled properly, don't scare your godmother."
Chu Chu patted her chest and assured: "Don't worry, I will handle it well. I came back this time specifically to treat Brother Shen Guang. He is very good to us, I can't just stand by and watch him die."
Song Yaqing trusted her daughter the most and said, "Well, then do it as soon as possible. Your sister and brother will be home this weekend, so it's a good time for the family to have a reunion dinner."
[Oh my, my idol has fallen out of favor, what should I do? ]
Song Yaqing smiled and pretended not to hear it, but it was not a complete collapse.
She also had to buy a comforting gift for her eldest daughter, who was almost an adult.
It's really sad when the idol's reputation falls.
…
The night was as dark as ink, the stars hidden. Chuchu used the daily chore of bathing as cover to quietly open a passage to another world. Accompanied by Tianyi and Qingtian, two companions each possessing extraordinary abilities, she journeyed across the edge of reality and fantasy, instantly arriving at the borderland where the demonic realms clashed. Here, no longer the warmth of the mortal world, but a brutal battlefield rife with blood and fire.
The three of them stood invisible outside a faint barrier, which was like a protective umbrella, isolating the other four realms from the catastrophe.
Within the barrier, the battlefield between the demonic and demonic realms resembled a purgatory, with flames soaring into the sky and black smoke billowing, obscuring the sun. The air was filled with the strong smell of blood and burning, making people frown and cover their noses, yet unable to look away.
On the battlefield, the demonic forces faced each other, their roars and howls echoing one after another, deafening. The demons either brandished sharp claws or manipulated strange spells, fighting each other in a desperate struggle.
Every clash saw the loss of life, blood splattering, staining this cursed land red. The lives of those unfortunate enough to be caught up in the flames of war were even more miserable. They fled in all directions, but with nowhere to hide, they could only struggle hopelessly amidst the endless slaughter.
Chuchu clenched her fists, her eyes blazing as she stared at the tragic scenes before her. Her heart was filled with anger and helplessness, but even more so with compassion and sympathy for life. "We must do something," she whispered to Tianyi and Qingtian beside her. "We can't let this war continue, or even more lives will be lost."
Tian Yi nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination and wisdom. "While we can't directly intervene in the battle, we can try to find a peaceful solution. Perhaps we can use our abilities to infiltrate the two realms, seek out leaders willing to negotiate, and prevent this war from its source."
Qingtian remained silent, yet his presence emanated an undeniable majesty. As a being of immense power, he knew his strength should be used to protect, not destroy. He silently gathered his strength, ready to offer support at the crucial moment.
The three of them stood at the edge of the invisible yet solid barrier, surrounded by a rare tranquility outside the battlefield, but this tranquility also made the heaviness in their hearts more apparent.
"Tianyi, Qingtian, I have decided to return to the Underworld first to discuss countermeasures with my father. Although the Underworld did not instigate this war, as one of the six realms, we cannot remain detached, let alone sit idly by."
Back in the underworld, a familiar and solemn atmosphere hit her face. Chu Chu walked through the dark corridor, each step seemed so firm and powerful.
She came to the hall where Hades handled government affairs, gently pushed open the door, and saw Hades sitting at the desk, with a barely perceptible fatigue between his brows, but his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through everything in the world.
"Father, my daughter is back." Chuchu's voice was filled with anxiety and determination. She quickly stepped forward, knelt in front of Hades, and reported everything she saw and heard outside the barrier.
"You know, I came back not just to visit, but because of this war that has affected all six realms. Our Underworld and the Demon Realm previously cooperated, but that ultimately gave the Demon Realm an excuse. Now that the war has begun, I'm worried that the Demon Realm's next target will be our Underworld."
The Hades put down the pen in his hand and slowly raised his head. A complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes: "Chu Chu, you have grown up and learned to consider the Underworld. But you must understand that the Underworld has existed for hundreds of thousands of years and has experienced countless storms without any transgression. The last cooperation with the Demon Realm was actually forced by the situation to maintain the balance of the six realms. This time, the Demon Realm took the initiative to provoke a war, and its ambition is obvious. If they want to take action against the Underworld, I am afraid they have made a wrong calculation."
The Hades' voice was steady and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty. "The Demon Lord is now seriously injured. This is a good time for us to wait and see what happens. The demon world may be powerful, but it is not invulnerable. Our Underworld has strong defenses and a deep foundation, and it cannot be easily shaken. Moreover, there is a common master among the six realms. If he learns of this, he will definitely intervene to mediate. What we need to do now is to remain calm, strengthen our vigilance, and wait for the best opportunity."
