Pluto looked at Chuchu, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He sighed softly, his tone filled with both helplessness and determination. "Chuchu, I understand how you feel and your trust in Lu Chenguang. But in this world, many things aren't as simple as black and white. Lu Chenguang did have a glorious past, but now he's embarked on a different path. We can't ignore his current behavior because of his past."
"As for the marriage, I have indeed considered it. But more importantly, I hope you can be safe and I hope the underworld can be stable. Marriage is just a means, not an end. Now that things have developed to this point, the engagement naturally no longer exists." Pluto's words revealed an unquestionable determination.
"But, Chuchu," Hades changed the subject, his tone softening, "you must also understand that everyone has their own destiny and choices. Lu Chenguang has chosen this path, and he must bear the corresponding consequences. All we can do is respect his choice and provide assistance within our capabilities. But the prerequisite is that he must truly recognize his mistakes and be willing to reform."
…
Just as Song Yaqing said, ever since Lu Chenguang went abroad, there has been no light in Chuchu's eyes.
Qingtian was extremely anxious. He knew very well Chuchu's deep affection for Lu Chenguang and the huge blow this emotion brought to her.
He suggested cautiously, "Princess Di, you can't do this, locking yourself in your room and not even smiling at the world. Look, you haven't had a good laugh in ten days. How about we go out for a walk? I remember the delicious food at your favorite little restaurant, and the dazzling array of goods waiting for you to choose. Shopping always makes people feel better, doesn't it?"
Tian Yi listened from the side and couldn't help but sigh. He understood Chu Chu's inner struggle and despair better.
He tried to persuade her from another angle: "Princess Di, your silence is heartbreaking. You haven't spoken much in ten days. How can this continue? How about we go find the Dream God or the Star Lord of the Maori? Didn't you say before that the Star Lord of the Maori has unparalleled wisdom? Perhaps he can help us rescue the Demon Lord?"
After hearing what the two said, Chu Chu gently turned over and looked at the ceiling with empty eyes. Her tone was filled with fatigue and helplessness. "I understand your intentions, but there are some things that we cannot change. Lu Chenguang is now in the underworld, where the rules and power are far beyond our imagination. Apart from my father, who else can easily interfere in the affairs of the underworld? Moreover, behind this is actually a conspiracy that has been laid out long ago. There has never been any real intention of reconciliation between the Heavenly Sovereign, the Demon Sovereign and my father. They each acted on their own, using this dispute to achieve their own goals. Now it seems that I was too naive."
Hearing this, Qingtian felt a mixture of emotions. He gently consoled her, "Princess Di, please don't blame yourself. You may think the underworld is bad, but the human world is full of warmth and hope. Although human life is short, they know how to cherish and love. Here, we can temporarily forget our troubles and feel the beauty of life. If you wish, we can stay in the human world forever and enjoy this peace and freedom."
Tian Yi echoed, "Yes, Princess Di. The beauty of the human world lies not only in its prosperity and bustle, but also in the sincere emotions between people. We can make new friends, experience different lives, and truly relax and heal our souls. Perhaps one day in the future, we will find a way to save the Demon Lord, but before that, please take care of yourself."
Chu Chu didn't want to give up easily: "I have to think of a way, I can't just sit there and wait for death."
…
It was late at night, and everything was silent. Only the moonlight gently sprinkled every corner of the room, adding a touch of tenderness to this quiet night. However, there was an unusual atmosphere in Chuchu's bedroom. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Outside the door, Song Yaqing's footsteps sounded softly. With maternal care and worry, she pushed open the door and slowly walked towards her daughter's bed.
Song Yaqing sat by the bed and gently embraced Chu Chu in her arms. Her arms were like a safe haven, giving her daughter the most solid support. "Chu Chu, my child, if you really miss Shen Guang, tell your mother, and your mother can take you abroad."
Chuchu felt her mother's warm embrace, and a warm current surged in her heart, but was immediately eroded by the cold reality.
【It would be really nice if I could see it abroad. 】
[Can Mom accept things about the other six realms? ]
She sighed softly, her voice filled with helplessness and sadness. "Mom, I appreciate your kindness. But even if I went, I might not be able to see him. He's... no longer alive."
Song Yaqing's heart tightened suddenly when she heard this. She felt an ominous premonition spreading in her heart. "What did you say? What happened? Why did Shen Guang..."
Chuchu sensed her mother's nervousness and worry. She gently patted the back of her hand, trying to comfort her, "Don't worry, Mom. I know this is hard to believe, but I must tell you the truth. Lu Chenguang... he was actually the monarch of the Demon Realm. In a decisive battle with the Heavenly Monarch, he was defeated, defeated by the Heavenly Monarch's power. Only a wisp of ghost remained, falling into the purgatory of the underworld."
At this point, Chu Chu's eyes couldn't help but redden. She tried hard to control her emotions and continued, "It's an extremely cruel place, full of pain and torture. And in the entire six realms, only Hades—my father—has the ability to save him."
Song Yaqing was shocked when she heard this, but she felt even more distressed for Chuchu. She hugged Chuchu tightly, trying to comfort her with her own strength. "Chuchu, this is too cruel. But what can we do?"
Chu Chu shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes, but she fought hard to hold them back. "It's useless. This was a deal between my father and the Heavenly Monarch. They never intended to truly reconcile with the Demon Realm. I thought that if I treated them sincerely, everything would change, but the facts proved that I was too naive."
"Mom, there has never been true peace in the six realms."
Song Yaqing sighed, "If you want to go back to the underworld, go back as soon as possible to solve the problem. When your grandmother asks you, I will say that you went abroad. How about that?"
Chuchu nodded, "Thank you. I'll be back soon."
