Chuchu really sacrificed herself for the Six Realms this time.
It was painless for her to create the core of the Qiankun Liuhe Formation.
She seemed to be born for this formation and quickly merged into it. Many gods and demons could no longer see her true form, let alone smell her half-god, half-demon aura... She seemed to have disappeared in the six realms, and there was no trace of her ever since.
In the human world, Gu Yaqing's wedding is approaching, and she receives a message from Ren Jinting saying that Lu Chenguang received a video call and made an overseas call while he was abroad.
But Chuchu didn't come back yet.
Where did Chuchu go?
Tian Yi first returned to Song Yaqing's house temporarily.
Qingtian stayed abroad and temporarily accepted Lu Chenguang's orders.
Song Yaqing looked around and asked, "Where's Chuchu?"
Tian Yi sighed, finding it difficult to speak. "Ms. Song, there's something I should tell you. Princess Di won't be returning to the human world for the time being. She still has many things to do in the underworld. If you need anything here, just let me know."
As Tian Yi finished speaking, a subtle flash of worry and doubt crossed Song Yaqing's eyes. She pursed her lips, as if trying to process this sudden information. The room fell silent for a moment, broken only by the occasional chirping of birds outside the window.
"The Underworld... isn't that place too dangerous for Chuchu? Are you hiding something from me?" Song Yaqing finally spoke, her voice trembling with a subtle tremor. As one of Chuchu's closest friends in the human world, she knew that although Chuchu seemed powerful, she actually carried too many unknown secrets and burdens.
Tian Yi shook his head gently, his eyes filled with determination and trust. "Ms. Song, there's no need to worry too much. The Princess is far more resilient and wiser than any of us could imagine. The six realms are turbulent, and she has her mission and responsibilities, a fate she cannot escape. Furthermore, I believe that with her abilities, she will be able to handle everything properly."
Tian Yi paused, a wave of sadness welling up in his heart, unable to suppress it: "The princess will definitely come back, please rest assured, Ms. Song."
Song Yaqing nodded slightly. Although the worry in her heart had not completely dissipated, she felt a little relieved.
"In that case, let's wait patiently for her return." Song Yaqing's voice was filled with a subtle firmness. "Tianyi, I'll trouble you to take care of me during this period. Whether it's in the human world or the underworld, please inform me immediately if there is any disturbance."
The fact that Tianyi didn't say anything proved that the matter was very serious.
"Yes, her departure was indeed unexpected." Song Yaqing sighed, her tone showing both heartache for her daughter Chuchu and helpless acceptance of the reality.
"Then let's tell everyone that Chuchu made a last-minute decision to go abroad to film an important international film role. This is a rare opportunity and she doesn't want to miss it." Although this reason is simple, it seems reasonable in the context of the entertainment industry and is convincing enough for most people.
Just as the two were discussing, the doorbell rang suddenly, interrupting the conversation inside the house.
Tianyi immediately transformed into a lazy cat, curled up in a corner of the sofa, his eyes flashing with a hint of vigilance, yet still docile. Chu Fei walked into the house exhausted from the day, especially the doubts about the incident with the movie star Li Ao, which made her eager to find the answer.
"Mom, where's Chuchu?" Chu Fei asked anxiously as soon as she sat down.
Song Yaqing looked at her daughter's anxious expression, feeling a mixture of emotions. She gently stroked Chu Fei's head and tried to sound relaxed and natural. "Chu Chu, she went abroad to film a movie for a rare opportunity. You know, she's always dreamed of making a difference on the international stage. This opportunity is very important to her, so she decided to leave for a while."
Upon hearing this, Chu Fei was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "She went abroad? But didn't she say she would attend your wedding? Besides, the cat is still there, why wouldn't she take it with her?" Chu Fei asked questions like a machine gun, obviously doubting this explanation.
Song Yaqing sighed and continued to explain, "Fei Fei, traveling abroad, especially filming, has many complicated procedures and restrictions. For example, cats are usually difficult to bring on international flights, requiring cumbersome procedures and quarantine. Plus, the filming schedule this time is very tight, and Chuchu may feel that bringing the cat with her would distract her, so she decided to keep it at home for the time being. As for the wedding, although she really wants to attend, job opportunities are also rare, so she can only make a choice."
After listening to her mother's explanation, Chu Fei, although still a little unwilling in her heart, gradually accepted the fact. She picked up her phone and wanted to call Chu Chu to ask about the details, but the cold "no answer" sound came from the other end of the phone.
She threw her phone aside helplessly, with a bit of disappointment in her tone: "Why is she so busy that she doesn't even have time to call?"
Tian Yi watched all this silently from the side, secretly thanking Lu Chenguang for his arrangement. Fortunately, he had muted Chuchu's phone and hidden it as soon as he came back.
He knew that Chuchu's absence was not just a minor family incident, but a key link in the major events of the six realms. All he could do now was to do his best to protect this secret until everything was settled and the princess returned.
Seeing this, Song Yaqing gently comforted Chu Fei, "Fei Fei, don't be sad. Chu Chu is working hard for her dream, and we should be proud of her. The most important thing for you now is to prepare well for your college entrance exam. Don't let these things affect your mood. Go take a shower and rest for a while. Mom still needs to try on wedding dresses."
Tian Yi took the opportunity to jump off the sofa and slipped into the bedroom. He checked Chu Chu's phone, which was hidden in the corner of the closet, to make sure it was still on silent. Although he lied, it could temporarily bring a little peace to the Song family. At least it wouldn't affect Song Yaqing's second wedding ceremony.
The dinner bell rang quietly, and every member of the family seemed to slow down their pace tacitly. Chu An and Chu Lei walked into the house almost at the same time, carrying with them their own fatigue and stories from the day.
On the dining table, steaming dishes exuded an enticing aroma, but the air was filled with an indescribable dullness.
The light softly shines on everyone's face, reflecting their different emotions.
Chu Fei looked up at the closed door from time to time, her eyes flashing with anticipation and a hint of imperceptible worry, as if Chu Chu would suddenly appear in this slightly deserted space with her unique vitality and laughter in the next second, sweeping away all the dullness.
Chu Lei sighed, his voice full of helplessness and nostalgia: "Dinner without Chuchu always feels like something is missing."
Upon hearing this, Chu An also put down his chopsticks, frowned slightly, and seemed to have lost his appetite. "I'll call Chu Chu later. How come she didn't even call back to let me know she's safe? It really makes me worried."
Chu Fei shook her head gently. "I'm also feeling a little uneasy. Chuchu is full of ideas and loves adventure. She suddenly said she was going abroad to film, and there's been no news for so long. She must have done something earth-shattering behind our backs again."
