Chuchu nestled in the spacious, soft sofa, enveloped in the soft light, yet it couldn't conceal the weariness and helplessness between her brows. Her hands gently rested on her forehead, a wry smile in her eyes as she stared directly at the unicorn standing upright before her, Bai Hao, with an innocent look on his face.
The appearance of this unicorn undoubtedly added an unexpected color to her life. However, this color seemed too pure and too direct, making Chuchu a little overwhelmed.
"How long have you known your Celestial Monarch?" Chuchu's voice tinged with a subtle weariness. Clearly, she wasn't particularly interested in the topic, and only continued asking out of politeness. To her, the unicorn's speech and demeanor seemed to retain a certain childlike innocence and directness, which seemed particularly out of place in the complex world of the Six Realms.
Upon hearing this, Bai Hao's clear eyes immediately gleamed with admiration. He replied in an almost pious tone, "When the Heavenly Monarch fell into the devil's way, I hadn't yet arrived on earth. Counting from the time I can remember, I've known the Heavenly Monarch for only a little over ten days." His tone was filled with endless respect and loyalty for the Heavenly Monarch. This emotion was sincere and pure, but to Chu Chu, it carried a hint of inexplicable absurdity and inappropriateness. After all, within the Six Realms, the shifts of power and the emotional entanglements were far more complex than Bai Hao had imagined.
Chuchu couldn't help but ask again, with a bit of doubt in her tone that was hard to conceal: "Then you... haven't become intelligent?" She almost blurted out this question, and her words revealed a hint of worry about whether Bai Hao's mind was mature.
After all, in Chuchu's cognition, even a divine beast should know some basic common sense of the world, such as the differences between men and women, and emotional entanglements. However, Bai Hao's various behaviors made her wonder whether this unicorn was "different" in some aspects.
Upon hearing this, Bai Hao's face flashed with confusion. He shook his head, his tone tinged with bewilderment, "That's not the case, Lingjun. In our unicorn world, we are born gods. We don't need to cultivate our intellect. We only need to practice the immortal way to achieve great things. Our mission is to protect the peace and tranquility of this continent, not to get caught up in the chaos of mortals."
His tone was full of pride and confidence, a pride that came from deep in his blood, but to Chu Chu, it sounded more like an innocent declaration, which made her feel both amused and a little helpless.
Chuchu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She understood that the unicorn before her, while possessing immense power, was still as innocent as a child mentally. She decided to try again, using the simplest method to test Bai Hao's understanding of the concept of "gender differences": "Do you know that there are essential differences between men and women?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Hao nodded earnestly, his clear eyes gleaming with a thirst for knowledge. "Of course I know, Lingjun. Are you testing me? I've heard from my father that you and my grandfather were once renowned sworn brothers throughout the Six Realms. Tens of thousands of years ago, you were a valiant man. Later, through the practice of a supreme technique, your body and soul transformed, becoming a goddess. Today, you are not only an honored guest of the Unicorn Clan, but also the most powerful goddess in the Six Realms, a role model for my generation."
Chu Chu was about to collapse when she heard this. When did she become a man? Why didn't she have any impression of it? She clenched her fists and asked through gritted teeth, "What's your grandfather's name?"
Bai Hao answered very seriously and sincerely, "Bai Qingqing is my grandfather, Lingjun. Grandfather said that when we were studying together on Penglai Fairy Island, you were a leader. The Qilin, Phoenix, Jiaolong, Red-crowned Crane, Taowu, Taotie, Bailang, Tengshe, Hun Dun, Qiongqi, Nine-tailed Fox, these mythical beasts were no match for you. Grandfather said that you were extremely powerful and had a very high level of understanding..."
Chu Chu quickly stopped Bai Hao from talking. She suddenly remembered. Back then, she had gone to learn the art as a man. Her mother was worried that her body would be inconvenient for her as a girl, so she transformed her into a man. At that time, she had indeed been learning the art on Penglai Island, and she had indeed appeared as a man.
However, Bai Qingqing always ranked last in his training, and his master disliked him the most. It was only after she repeatedly helped him that Bai Qingqing was able to barely complete his training and leave Penglai Island. These past events were too far away for Chuchu, and she had almost forgotten them.
Bai Hao said happily, "Fortunately, Lingjun, you remember everything."
Chuchu smiled awkwardly and said, "Please give my regards to your grandfather on my behalf." She really didn't expect that her experience in Penglai Fairy Island would be dug up by this unicorn at this time.
Bai Hao suddenly put on a sad face again and said, "Grandfather returned to chaos a thousand years ago."
Chu Chu was surprised when she heard this and asked, "Then how do you know these things?"
Bai Hao replied, "My grandfather told me this before."
Chuchu nodded and said, "Go ahead. If I don't summon you, you must not come here without permission." She really didn't want to continue to tangle with this unicorn. She felt that she was about to collapse.
Bai Hao responded and then disappeared into the apartment. Chu Chu looked at the empty room and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. She suddenly remembered that among the mythical beasts she had learned skills with, there was also a nine-tailed fox named Bai Xiu.
She is the representative of the nine-tailed fox clan. When I was learning skills on Penglai Island, I had a good relationship with her.
I wonder where Bai Xiu is now? Chuchu thought to herself. She suddenly realized that she had lost her memories of the human world, and she couldn't help but feel a little panicked. She decided to ask Rong Lin, maybe he could know something.
The house Rong Lin lives in now is ten times bigger than Chu Chu's, comparable to a heavenly palace. When Chu Chu appeared at Rong Lin's door, Rong Lin had just finished taking a shower and his hair was still wet.
Seeing Chuchu suddenly appear, Rong Lin asked in surprise: "What's the matter?"
Chuchu said directly: "Why do you live in such a big house? No, I want to live here too." She felt that she could no longer live in that small apartment, and she needed a larger space to release her emotions.
Rong Lin couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He wiped his short hair and said, "You want to live with me?"
