Chu Fei's eyes still held a lingering trace of fear, her body trembling uncontrollably from the experience. It was like stepping out of a thrilling movie, only to discover that those moments were part of reality. Her heartbeat hadn't yet completely calmed down, and each beat seemed to remind her that the fantasy and horror that only existed in movies and TV shows had actually happened in her life.
Seeing this, Chuchu's heart was filled with pity. She gently hugged Chufei and used warm words like a spring breeze to blow away the haze in Chufei's heart: "Sister, don't be afraid, it's all in the past. It's like a dream, everything will be fine when you wake up. I'm here, we will face it together."
Ye Xuan stood aside, a rare flicker of embarrassment and helplessness in her proud expression. She knew full well that her indifference had hurt Chu Fei, but the simple words "I'm sorry" weighed heavily on her, making it difficult for her to bring them to words.
She chose to respond with silence, but her eyes revealed a hint of apology, hoping that Chu Fei could feel this subtle apology.
"Chu Chu, let's... go home." Chu Fei's voice was pleading. Obviously, everything here made her feel extremely uneasy and scared.
Upon hearing this, Chu Chu immediately nodded in agreement. She knew that for Chu Fei at this moment, home was the safest harbor.
After returning to the human world, Lu Chenguang's situation unexpectedly became more complicated.
The boyish form that he had maintained due to some mysterious power suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by his adult appearance, tall and majestic, which also added a bit of unusualness to this journey home.
In contrast, Chuchu naturally regained her childish innocence as soon as she returned to the human world. The contrast between the two makes people laugh.
Faced with this sudden change, Chu Chu was stunned for a moment, then quickly adjusted her mood and began to look for a solution to Lu Chenguang's problem.
She stroked her forehead gently, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and decided to let Chu Fei rest first, so she cast a gentle sleeping spell and let her sister fall into a sweet dream.
At this time, Chu Chu heard Cao Mei'xiong's inner voice: "Emperor, I have a way to make the Demon Lord return to his youth."
Chuchu didn't expect that Midie had been staying here and was taken to Rongjing.
Chuchu closed the door and released Midie from the teddy bear temporarily. "Tell me, what do you have in mind?"
A ghost slowly floated out of the bear's body and said in a dark voice, "Princess Di, if we want to restore the Demon Lord to his original state, we need to return to the underworld and utilize the power of the Book of Life and Death. In the human world, Lu Chenguang's life span is coming to an end, which is the reason for his transformation. Only by correcting the records in the Book of Life and Death can he be restored to his youthful appearance."
Chuchu's heart sank, and the phone in her hand suddenly felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. She hadn't imagined that Lu Chenguang, seemingly healthy in the human world, was actually on the verge of death. This news was like a bolt from the blue, and she couldn't help but worry about her godmother Ren Jinting's ability to withstand it. Taking a deep breath, Chuchu tried to make her voice sound calm and warm, and dialed the familiar number again.
After the phone rang a few times, Ren Jinting's slightly tired but still gentle voice sounded on the other end of the phone: "Chu Chu, you're home? Did you have a smooth journey?"
"Well, godmother, I just got home not long ago. I just wanted to let you know that I'm safe. Everything is fine here, don't worry." Chuchu tried her best to keep her words calm, but the anxiety in her heart was as surging as the tide.
Ren Jinting's laughter was tinged with a subtle bitterness. "As long as you're okay, Godmother is relieved. Things are indeed a bit tricky here. When I'm done with this, I'll go home to see you."
Chu Chu bit her lip lightly and decided to ask directly about her concerns: "Godmother, Brother Shen Guang...how is he?"
On the other end of the phone, Ren Jinting's voice suddenly became low and heavy, and the long silence was like an invisible rope, tightly strangling Chuchu's heart.
"Shen Guang is...sick and in the hospital. We are both abroad now, and the situation is a bit complicated. I'm even starting to think that we may never come back."
Chuchu's eyes were instantly moist, but she held back her tears and comforted her in the strongest possible tone: "Godmother, don't be too sad, and don't give up hope. My mother and I will go abroad to see you as soon as possible and find a solution together. Brother Shen Guang is so strong, he will definitely get better."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Chu looked at Lu Chenguang, who looked indifferent but could not hide his fatigue, and felt mixed emotions.
She patted his shoulder gently. Although she knew that the Demon Lord in front of her was not the real Lu Chenguang, the similar face and aura made her involuntarily want to give him some comfort.
We are really going to the underworld." Chu Chu's voice was low and firm.
This time, it is not only to find a way to solve the dilemma of Lu Chenguang in the human world, but also to explore the secret of how to suppress the surging demonic energy in Lu Chenguang's body.
After properly arranging Tianyi, Chuchu took Midie and Lu Chenguang and resolutely stepped into the realm of the underworld. The atmosphere of the underworld was completely different from the human world. A deep and mysterious power permeated here, which made people feel awe involuntarily.
Hades, the majestic yet loving father, had been waiting in the underworld for a long time. Seeing his daughter again after a long absence, his eyes could not help but slightly redden, and in the end, all he could say was a heartfelt "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
Chuchu's heart was also deeply touched by this deep fatherly love. Tears could not help but slide down her cheeks. She choked up and said, "Father, thank you for your favor and love over the years. It was my daughter who was too willful back then..."
