Rong Lin did not give up easily. He held Chuchu tightly with a firm look in his eyes. No matter what difficulties he faced, he would not let Chuchu face them alone.
After much consideration, he took Chu Chu across the dark and mysterious boundaries and came to the territory of the underworld.
Hades was busy dealing with various affairs of the underworld at the moment, but when his eyes fell on the person in Rong Lin's arms, his expression instantly became solemn.
Chuchu in Rong Lin's arms was no longer the youthful and energetic girl with long flowing hair, but an old woman with white hair and a haggard face, who was quietly unconscious, as if the fire of life was about to be extinguished.
The Hades waved his hand to signal the attendants around him to withdraw, leaving only him and Rong Lin. He asked anxiously, "Tianjun, Lingjun, what's wrong? What exactly happened?"
Rong Lin took a deep breath and told Hades the whole story in detail. After listening, Hades sighed, "Alas, that seal? We dare not easily remove it. That is the amulet that the old Spirit Lord personally set for Lingjun. When Lingjun fell into the underworld, I was able to recognize her at a glance because of the seal within her body."
Rong Lin frowned and asked again, "King of Hell, is there really nothing you can do?" There was a hint of pleading in his voice. He knew very well the status and prestige of King of Hell in the underworld. If even King of Hell had no way, then Chu Chu's future would be really worrying.
The Hades was silent for a moment, seemingly contemplating something. After a moment, he slowly said, "How about we follow our ancestors' advice and return to the human world first to give it a try? It's possible that after Lingjun dies in the human world, she could return to Jiayang Mountain. After all, that's where her roots lie."
However, Rong Lin shook his head, his eyes filled with determination: "What if she enters reincarnation? I can't let her forget everything in the past, I can't let her become a different person."
The King of Hell looked at Rong Lin. He could sense her inner struggle and pain. He paused, then said, "If she enters reincarnation, it's not necessarily a bad thing. With me here, I can protect her and ensure she enjoys great wealth and honor in every life. Furthermore, she's a double-headed bird, born with an extraordinary destiny. Who knows, one day, she might return to Jiayang Mountain on her own."
But Rong Lin couldn't bear to hear these ambiguous words anymore. He clenched his fists tightly and said in a low but firm voice, "No, she must return to Jiayang Mountain. That's her home, and that's where she belongs."
The Pluto shook his head helplessly, knowing full well Rong Lin's stubbornness and persistence. He said, "Lord of Heaven, I cannot lie to you. This matter is truly difficult to address. After all, not even the Purple Sky Ancestor could resolve it."
Rong Lin glanced at the unconscious Chu Chu, his heart aching and unable to breathe. He whispered, "Then I will stay with her in the human world, no matter how many lifetimes I have. I will protect her and prevent anyone from harming her. But please, Pluto, please make sure her current family is safe and sound, and try to keep them together. Only when they are with these kind humans can I rest assured."
Looking at Rong Lin's determined eyes, Hades felt a surge of emotion. He flipped through the list and carefully searched for Chu Chu's information. When he saw Chu Chu's name turn red, he knew that Chu Chu's life in the human world was almost over.
"Actually, this is somewhat difficult." Hades frowned, "But I will do my best to arrange it. After all, everyone's lifespan is different. Once they are in the underworld, they will be reincarnated very quickly. However, I will do my best to ensure that her family is safe and sound, and that she has a stable environment before her reincarnation."
Rong Lin nodded: "But please do your best. After all, Chuchu has been in the underworld for a thousand years and has called you father for a thousand years. She was originally a spiritual monarch on equal footing with you."
The King of Hell sighed, then said, "No problem, of course there is no problem. After Lingjun reincarnates, she will definitely be reborn into a good family. I will arrange everything for her..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Lin took Chu Chu back to the human world.
When they set foot on the land of the human world again, Chuchu immediately regained her youthful appearance.
Rong Lin gently placed her on the bed, then turned to look at Song Yaqing.
Song Yaqing was frightened when she saw her daughter being carried back by Rong Lin. She asked anxiously, "What happened to Chuchu? Is she sick? Why did you bring her back?"
Rong Lin gently placed Chu Chu on the bed and said, "Well, she's sick. But don't worry, she's fine now. It's just... she may just be an ordinary person from now on, just like you, and no longer a god."
Song Yaqing was horrified after hearing this: "But can Chuchu accept it? She used to be so powerful and omnipotent. I don't ask about your gods, but I just want to care about what will happen to Chuchu in the future? Can she live a healthy life?"
Rong Lin looked at Song Yaqing's worried eyes, and a trace of guilt welled up in his heart. He said, "Don't worry, Chuchu will be fine. Although she is no longer a god, she will still have a happy life. I will stay with her until she fully recovers."
After hearing Rong Lin's words, Song Yaqing's worries eased a little. She looked at Chuchu lying on the bed, her eyes filled with maternal love: "As long as Chuchu can live a healthy and happy life, that's all that matters. Whether she is a god or not, she will always be my daughter."
In the days that followed, Rong Lin stayed by Chuchu's side. Under his careful care, Chuchu gradually recovered. Although she was no longer a deity, she still possessed youth and vitality.
Song Yaqing and the Gu family have also been silently supporting Rong Lin and Chu Chu. They know Rong Lin's deep affection for Chu Chu and the position Chu Chu holds in Rong Lin's heart. Therefore, they never interfere in Rong Lin and Chu Chu's affairs, but only silently pray and bless them.
As time passed, Chuchu slowly integrated into the daily life of ordinary people and became more and more accustomed to this simple and peaceful life.
However, truth will eventually come to light, and Zhu Zhu and Zhao Qing eventually learned the truth about their past. Rong Lin finally confessed all of this to them.
The moment they heard the truth, they were actually shocked and even a little bit unbelievable.
Zhao Qing looked at Chuchu with concern and asked, "Chuchu, do you still remember what we went through before?"
Chu Chu smiled slightly, nodded gently, and said: "Of course I remember, those memories are deeply engraved in my mind."
Zhao Qing was clearly still not convinced and pressed the issue, "So, do you really have no magical abilities left?"
Chu Chu smiled and shook her head, answering simply: "Really, no more. I am just an ordinary person now."
Zhao Qing couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment after hearing this. Then, she asked in a somewhat angry tone, "So, are you going to marry Professor Rong now?"
Chu Chu still maintained a gentle smile and nodded: "He said he wanted to get married, so I will marry him."
After hearing this, Zhao Qing shook her head helplessly and jokingly said, "Chu Chu, where are your moral integrity and bottom line? I was thinking about becoming a Taoist, but you're getting married."
