The immortal official confirmed with Rong Lin, "Your Majesty, do you need to retain your memories of your journey to the lower realm? Also, when you return to the heavenly realm, do you have a plan for the reason the Heavenly Emperor will ask you about your journey?"
Rong Lin's eyes swept over the immortal official sharply, and he seemed a little surprised by his question: "No memory? What are you thinking? If I forget this trip, how can I find the way back?" There was unquestionable majesty in his tone.
After a moment's silence, Rong Lin continued, "On the night before Rong Qi returns, I will return to heaven. If anyone asks, just say that I am in seclusion practicing and should not be disturbed." The immortal official nodded respectfully, and then Rong Lin's figure disappeared in a wisp of immortal mist and went to the lower world.
…
Elsewhere, Chuchu finally returned to her familiar campus after a brief stay at the hospital. As soon as she entered the dormitory, Song Nuan greeted her with a huge hug, so warm it seemed to melt her whole being. Although her arm was still in a cast, the pain had been greatly alleviated after treatment.
"You have to be careful. Do you still want your arm?" Chuchu reminded with a smile, a hint of playfulness in her tone.
At this time, Zhu Zhu was busy sorting her clothes. When she heard the voice, she looked up and smiled, "Chu Chu, you're back? How come it feels like a long time has passed after just one day? I really miss you!"
Chuchu also responded emotionally: "Me too, I especially miss the time with you."
However, the only drawback is that Zhao Qing has not returned from the hospital yet, and the dormitory is missing her laughter, and it always feels like something is missing.
At this moment, Chuchu suddenly sensed an unusual yin energy. Startled, she quickly cast a spell, and the scene before her suddenly became clear. She saw Zhu Zhu's deceased childhood friend, Chen Cheng, hovering around her.
During this period, many incidents occurred between the human world and the underworld, and Chen Cheng was detained in the underworld for some reason. Chu Chu originally planned to deal with his affairs after finishing her current work, but she didn't expect that he would take advantage of the underworld's lax defense and escape back to the human world.
There were other people in the dormitory now, and Chuchu knew she couldn't act rashly, otherwise she might alert the enemy and let Chen Cheng escape again. So she suppressed her anger and pretended to be calm.
"Hey babies, it's my treat today. How about we go out for a midnight snack?" Chuchu suggested, trying to divert everyone's attention.
Upon hearing this, Song Nuan immediately patted her belly and said with a smile, "Chu Chu, my waistline has gone up a lot since I met you! But, as for midnight snacks, I never refuse anyone!"
Zhu Zhu also agreed with a smile: "Yeah, I feel like I've gained a lot of weight too. But since Chuchu is treating me, of course I have to go!"
However, Chuchu noticed that wherever Zhu Zhu went, Chen Cheng's figure always followed her. Worse still, Zhu Zhu seemed to be enveloped by a foul aura, which, if continued, would inevitably have a serious impact on her health and lifespan.
So, Chuchu secretly decided in her heart that she must find an opportunity to lure Chen Cheng out of the dormitory and completely get rid of him outside.
She urged again, "Hey, eating fat will give you motivation to lose weight! Come on, let's go, let's have something light tonight. I promise it won't make you fat!"
When Song Nuan heard this, she immediately responded excitedly, "Yes, yes! Maybe I can even meet a handsome guy!"
Zhu Zhu was also infected by their enthusiasm and nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's go together!"
…
As night fell, the four of them left the warm restaurant and stepped into the cool air outside.
Chen Cheng, the shadowy figure, still followed them closely, like the guardian of the night, but this protection was mixed with a subtle chill.
At this moment, a bold boy tried to approach and chat with these beautiful girls. However, before he could get close, an inexplicable cold wind suddenly blew around Chen Cheng, making people feel cold. The boy's face changed color with fear, and he quickly found an excuse to flee.
Song Nuan unconsciously tightened her clothes and shivered. "The wind tonight is really a bit biting, don't you think?" There was a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.
Zhu Zhu also nodded, with a puzzled look in her eyes. "Yeah, why didn't I remember seeing the weather forecast saying it was going to get colder? This change is too fast."
Chuchu smiled slightly, trying to diffuse the sudden chill with a relaxed atmosphere: "Maybe it's just a passing breeze, don't worry about it. Let's go quickly. I don't have classes tomorrow anyway, so I'll treat you to a drink at my little apartment, how about it?"
When it comes to wine, Song Nuan's eyes immediately lit up: "Wow, are we going to open foreign wine again? Last time we were all drunk, haha." Her tone was full of anticipation, but also with a hint of fear of the last time she drank too much.
"Drink less, it will help you sleep." Chuchu reminded, secretly worried that if he got drunk in the dormitory and made too much noise, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
After a quick midnight snack, Chuchu led Song Nuan and Zhu Zhu to her apartment. As the door opened, an unexpected figure came into view—Su Rong. Chuchu simply glanced at him, without further ado, as if he were just an insignificant passerby. Song Nuan and Zhu Zhu politely greeted Su Rong and then rushed into Chuchu's room.
Inside the room, Chuchu pulled out a bottle of carefully selected red wine and turned on the TV. As melodious music played, the three girls began their evening drinks. Within half an hour, Zhu Zhu and Song Nuan's cheeks were already flushed, clearly tipsy. Seeing this, Chuchu gently helped them to bed, carefully tucking them in, and ensuring they fell asleep peacefully.
The door closed gently, and Chuchu turned around, her eyes cold. She snapped her fingers across the empty room, and Chen Cheng knelt before her as if summoned. Her voice was filled with undeniable authority: "Chen Cheng, you're quite courageous! I finally managed to send you back to the underworld, and you've actually escaped back to the human world?"
Only then did Chen Cheng see the person in front of him clearly, and blurted out in surprise: "Ah, it turns out that the princess is you! I never thought that you were also in the human world. Last time I was in the sea of consciousness..." His words were full of shock and confusion.
Chu Chu interrupted him, her tone cold: "Stop talking nonsense and tell me, what is your purpose in coming to the human world again? Don't you know that souls should stay in the world that belongs to them?"
A trace of fear flashed across Chen Cheng's face, and he hurriedly explained, "Princess Di, I...I'm just worried about Zhu Zhu. I want to spend more time with her in the human world. I miss her so much, that's why I tried to escape from the underworld. I still have so much to say to her. I left so hastily without saying a word, and this has become an eternal regret in my heart."
He paused, as if mustering up his courage, and continued, "Princess Di, I promise you, as long as I can speak to her for a few words, I promise to reincarnate immediately and will never stay in the human world for any longer, let alone cause you any trouble."
Chu Chu said coldly: "Are you telling me a joke? How can you talk to her if you are a ghost?"
