Only after everything for accommodation was arranged did Chu An feel at ease to leave.
The night was falling, the stars were twinkling, Chuchu stood in her single apartment, the moonlight was like a stream, gently shining on her cold and determined face.
Inside the room, smoke curled from the incense burner, mixed with ancient and mysterious spices, and the air was filled with a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy. She gently closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and whispered an ancient spell. Gradually, circles of soft light appeared around her, like the gentle dawn.
"With heaven and earth as mirrors, yin and yang converge, in my name, the door to heaven will be opened." As her voice fell, the light in the room suddenly increased, and an illusory portal slowly condensed in the air. Behind the door, a faint scene of heaven shrouded in clouds and mist and ethereal fairy air could be seen.
Chu Chu took a deep breath and stepped into the light gate. In an instant, the surrounding scenery unfolded like a scroll. She was already among the bright stars and the misty sea of clouds. The unique tranquility and peace of heaven came to her face.
"Rong Lin, are you in heaven?" Chu Chu opened her red lips slightly, and her voice echoed in the empty heaven with a hint of imperceptible urgency.
In a flash, a gentle breeze blew by, carrying a faint bamboo fragrance. A handsome man dressed in a brocade robe slowly stepped into her sight. It was none other than the Celestial Lord, Rong Lin. His brows revealed an otherworldly aura, and his gaze was deep, as if he could see through everything in the world.
"Chu Chu, why are you here?" Rong Lin's voice was as gentle as jade, but it couldn't hide a hint of surprise.
"Long time no see. I thought you were in the human world." Chu Chu paused, a complex look flashing in her eyes, "I met someone who looks very similar to you. Who is he? Is he related to you?"
Rong Lin's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure. He sighed softly and explained, "That was the transformation of a wisp of my soul that was left behind in the mortal world during the battle with Rong Qi. Back then, my spirit was damaged by the power of the Netherworld, and a wisp of my soul accidentally fell into the mortal world and transformed into that man's appearance. His life is an unfinished connection of mine."
"So where is he now?" Chu Chu asked, her eyes full of concern.
"Mortals have a limited lifespan. When he completes his reincarnation cycle in the human world and dies of old age, his spirit will return to my body and my original spirit will be restored."
Chuchu felt a mixture of relief and regret after hearing this. She knew that the boundary between gods and humans, like the chasm between heaven and earth, was insurmountable. But she also understood that every fate, no matter how long or short, held its own unique meaning and value.
"So that's how it is..." Chu Chu murmured softly.
Rong Lin smiled slightly, "Chu Chu, you must be careful in the human world and don't get too involved in the troubles of the mortal world."
The two smiled at each other, as if all words were said without words. At this moment, the gate to heaven appeared again, and Chu Chu knew that it was time to return to the human world.
"Rong Lin, if you're bored in the heavens, why not come to the human world? Rong Qi is living a good life in the Song family now. When he returns to the heavens, what are your plans?"
Rong Lin's face was calm, "It won't be too late to talk about it then."
Chuchu nodded, the door of time opened again, and Chuchu left in an instant.
The heavens once again returned to their former tranquility, leaving only Rong Lin standing there quietly, looking at the direction where Chu Chu left, praying silently in his heart, hoping that she would be well in the human world, and that their friendship could transcend time and space and last forever.
