There was a hint of helplessness and anxiety in Millie's voice. She knew very well that the tense atmosphere at the moment was on the verge of breaking out, and any slight spark could lead to unpredictable consequences.
She gently pulled Chuchu's arm, trying to calm the anxious princess down, and at the same time looked at Lu Chenguang with a soft but firm gaze, hoping to find a chance of communication.
However, neither of them seemed to be able to calm down.
Chu Chu said angrily, "I brought you here to help you suppress the demonic energy in your body. You don't need to be so cold to me. My mother's consciousness is severely damaged now. I need to repair her spirit first. The matter of the Demon Lord may need to be put on hold for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chenguang disappeared in a gust of wind.
Chuchu's emotions were like waves stirred by a strong wind, surging violently, but she tried hard to suppress her inner anger and anxiety, took a deep breath, turned around and prepared to continue casting a spell for her mother.
The atmosphere in the room seemed a little solemn because of the argument just now, but Chuchu's eyes flashed with indomitable spirit and determination.
She slowly walked to the bedside and gently took her mother's hand. The big hands that were once warm and strong now looked extremely weak and cold.
Chuchu couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in her heart, but she quickly adjusted her mood and focused on the upcoming treatment.
"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to restore your spirit to its original state." Chuchu's voice was soft, but full of unshakable determination.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, allowing her mind to reach an unprecedented state of tranquility. Then, she clasped her hands together, slowly opening them. A gentle and pure spiritual energy surged from her body, like the first rays of dawn, warm and full of vitality.
Under Chuchu's guidance, this spiritual power slowly wrapped around Princess Biwu's body. It seemed to have life, gently shuttling through the mother's shattered soul, trying to find those cracks and damaged areas.
However, when the spiritual power touched the damaged soul fragments, it seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, making it difficult to repair them deeply.
Chu Chu's brow furrowed, realizing the situation was far more complicated than she'd imagined. She increased her spiritual energy output, attempting to break through the barrier with even greater force, but each attempt fell on deaf ears, with no response at all.
Sweat slid down her forehead and dripped onto the floor, making a slight sound that blended with the heavy atmosphere in the room.
At this moment, Princess Biwu seemed to feel her daughter's hard work and efforts. She supported her weak body and held Chuchu's hand with all her strength: "Chuchu, don't force yourself, I'm fine."
Chuchu turned her head and looked into her mother's eyes, which were full of encouragement and trust. A warm feeling welled up in her heart. She took another deep breath, closed her eyes, and let her mind merge with the spiritual power of heaven and earth.
This time, she was no longer impatient, but instead used a more delicate and gentle method to guide the spiritual power to slowly penetrate into her mother's soul. She seemed to have transformed into a weaver, using spiritual power as silk thread, carefully mending every crack in her mother's soul.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment. The only sounds in the room were the mother and daughter's gentle breathing and the subtle hum of spiritual energy flowing. Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Chuchu felt an unprecedented warmth coming from her mother's body. She opened her eyes and saw that her mother's face had gradually regained some color, and the light in her eyes had regained its vitality.
Chuchu was ecstatic, she thought she had succeeded.
But when she withdrew her spiritual power, the fragments of her soul shattered again.
Chu Chu slumped on the edge of the bed, exhausted and looking depressed.
Chuchu's heart plummeted from the clouds to the bottom of the valley. Her brief euphoria burst like a bubble, leaving behind a deep sense of defeat and endless worry. She looked at her mother's face, still frail but forcing a smile, and felt a mixture of emotions. Her mother's gentle comfort was like a ray of sunshine on a winter's day, but the warmth wasn't enough to dispel the haze within her heart.
"I will definitely find a way. No matter how difficult it is, I will not give up." Chuchu's voice was soft, but it was filled with unquestionable determination. She gently patted the back of her mother's hand, as if to cheer herself up and also to give her mother strength.
Millie stood aside, her eyes full of complexity. She knew Chuchu's struggle and helplessness at the moment, and also understood the hope and uncertainty that her suggestion might bring.
"Princess, I am just an insignificant soul, but my suggestion may give you some inspiration. The heaven is the land of the gods, and perhaps there is a way to repair the princess's soul there." Millie's words revealed some hesitation. After all, she was not sure whether the heaven could really help.
Chu Chu's eyes lit up when she heard this, but then dimmed again. "But the Heavens and the Underworld have always been separate. If I rashly go there, I'm afraid..." She didn't finish her words, but her concerns were obvious.
"Princess, don't forget that although the princess is in the underworld, her origin is the god of heaven. Moreover, you and His Highness Rong Qi met in the human world. Perhaps this friendship can open the door to heaven for you." There was a hint of encouragement in Millie's words. She believed that Chuchu could overcome all difficulties.
"Rong Qi..." Chu Chu muttered to herself, the image of the figure who had fought alongside her in the human world emerging in her mind. Would he be willing to help her? Or rather, was he capable of doing so? These questions swirled in her mind, leaving her feeling both excited and anxious.
At this moment, the news from the human world, relayed by Qingtian, was like a bolt from the blue, further destabilizing Chuchu's already turbulent state. Lu Chenguang, the man with whom she had a complex relationship, was now facing a life-or-death test. Her heart was filled with ripples. Despite her numerous complaints and resentments towards Lu Chenguang, she couldn't ignore the turmoil within her at this moment.
"The Book of Life and Death... If we don't change it, it will be too late..."
Chu Chu murmured to herself. She knew very well the majesty and irreversibility of the Book of Life and Death, but facing Lu Chenguang's life and death, she could not remain indifferent.
Thinking that Ren Jinting would collapse because of this, Chuchu brought Millie to the Palace of Pluto.
Chu Chu begged tearfully, "Father, Lu Chenguang can't die yet. There are still many people in the human world who need him. Ten years, Father, how about giving him ten years?"
Hades said with a stern expression, "The laws of nature cannot be violated. The Lu family has no shortage of wealth and status, but there are always regrets in life. Chuchu, you need to be more open-minded."
Chuchu's tears flowed unconsciously. "Father, after being reborn, I realized that everyone wants to go to the human world. Demons work hard to cultivate themselves to become human, devils cultivate their bodies and minds to become human, and all spirits go through tribulations to go to the human world. And it's because humans value emotions more. Father, I have found my last soul, and my emotions have become complete."
"You don't have to give him eternal life. At least give him some time to explain the reason to his human mother. It won't be too late to come back then. Just like that... Father, even three years, three months will do... Your daughter begs you..."
