"Dou Dou?"
"Are you Dou Dou?!"
Beside Thousand Eyes Lake.
Shan Shan's almond-shaped eyes were wide open, looking at the Cool and Aloof Sister blocking her path as if she were seeing a ghost.
The Cool and Aloof Sister sneered coldly, "How did you know this Queen is Dou Dou? Stop babbling and hand over the snacks!"
Shan Shan had a strange expression on her face, staring at the Acne-Removing Divine Hoe in the Cool and Aloof Sister's hand, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
In front of her, this woman appeared to be a Cool and Aloof Sister, but her temperament really didn't match her appearance at all.
In a sister's body, but with the soul of a silly husky!
Shan Shan said, "You just admitted yourself that you are Dou Dou."
"Hmm? Did I? Did I really?"
The Cool and Aloof Sister began to play dumb.
At this moment, Ai Hongye remarked, "It seems people's intelligence doesn't grow with their bodies."
"What's this?" Dou Dou's face immediately puffed up with grievance, "I feel you are insulting me!"
Ai Hongye said, "Clearly, you are the one trampling on both our intelligences."
Upon hearing this, Shan Shan nodded heavily in agreement with Ai Hongye's words.
Ai Hongye suddenly raised her right hand, gently slapping towards Dou Dou.
A soft, mysterious aura spilled from her palm, brushing over Dou Dou's body. Dou Dou felt dizzy and light, and then the fiery sister's body began to visibly shrink.
Shan Shan exclaimed in surprise, "Dou Dou, why are you deflating?"
Dou Dou frantically checked herself, anxious, "Dean sister, what have you done to Dou Dou? Hurry up and give me back the beautiful body, or Dou Dou won't forgive you!"
Ai Hongye seemed indifferent, instead sending another slap towards her.
Within mere moments, Dou Dou reverted to a little girl of seven or eight years old.
Even her outfit transformed back to the pale green net gauze dress she originally wore.
Shan Shan looked at the little girl in front of her, and sighed, "Indeed, cuteness is nothing compared to sensuality."
Ai Hongye watched Dou Dou, who was merrily jumping and flapping her hands and feet as if wanting to fight, a hint of indulgent tenderness emerging in her eyes. She suddenly bent down to pick Dou Dou up, lifting her high with a smile, "This is Dou Dou."
Dou Dou's cheeks puffed slightly, feeling unhappy, "Dean sister is bullying Dou Dou!"
Ai Hongye explained, "That wasn't actually you, but the body of Shi Huainiao."
Dou Dou boasted, "That's Dou Dou's Divine Power form."
Ai Hongye urged, "Anyway, you should use this Divine Power form less, otherwise one day you might truly become her and never come back."
Dou Dou's large, watery eyes stared at her, "Is that so?"
Ai Hongye nodded, "Yes, it is."
Dou Dou said, "But I want an adult's figure."
Ai Hongye said, "The Elf Race doesn't grow up. If you desire a figure like that, you'll need to cultivate an adult body like An Ran when you're old enough."
"I see."
"Yes, that's right."
Dou Dou asked, "You know An Ran too?"
Ai Hongye smiled, "She's my colleague. When she was young, she was just like you, often paying off intelligence as tax, and I even snatched her candy."
Dou Dou couldn't help but laugh, "But she's very fierce now."
At this moment, Shan Shan said, "My dad said you ate some Godly Power Walnut before, weren't you in seclusion? How come you've come out so soon?"
Dou Dou chuckled proudly, "This Queen just came out of seclusion. I was planning to go out and play with Chen Shuisheng, but sensed both your energies, so I came over."
Ai Hongye frowned slightly, "Who is Chen Shuisheng?"
Shan Shan explained, "That's Dou Dou's exclusive nickname for my dad."
"Oh, I see." Ai Hongye gently put Dou Dou down, "You haven't changed at all."
Dou Dou suddenly hugged her leg, looking up with a little face, "Dean sister, Dou Dou missed you!"
"I missed you too."
Dou Dou asked, "But you disappeared after going to the sea bottom, why did you suddenly vanish?"
"I had things to do."
Dou Dou suddenly remembered something painful, saying, "Dean sister, Yaya sacrificed herself to save us all⦠she is gone."
Ai Hongye's expression turned somber, "Hmm... I know."
"She and Chen Shuisheng were my best friends."
Ai Hongye reached out and ruffled her head without speaking.
Dou Dou suddenly said, "Dean sister, your stockings are so smooth."
Ai Hongye said, "Don't touch randomly."
"Let Dou Dou touch them for a moment."
Ai Hongye said, "It's Crystal Silkworm Silk, a defensive treasure. If you ruin it, you can't afford to compensate."
Dou Dou laughed, "Dou Dou also likes touching Chen Shuisheng's abs."
Shan Shan suddenly coughed twice and said, "Aunt, let's head to Sky Divine City first. Once we've eaten something, we can go back and see if my dad has woken up. I haven't eaten in over twenty years, I'm really hungry."
Upon hearing this, Dou Dou frowned, "Chen Shuisheng, that lazy pig, is he still sleeping at this time? Dou Dou wants to go and spank him!"
Shan Shan sighed and said, "During your seclusion, something happened."
"What happened?"
"Let's talk while walking. I'm really hungry."
"..."
A while later.
After hearing from Shan Shan about Luo Xiu's experience, Dou Dou was very angry and said she must go and teach Luo Hao a lesson.
...
...
Celestial Realm.
In a forbidden area.
The cold wind howled, sharp like knives and swords.
An old, haggard figure slowly walked out of the ancient cave mansion, lifting his eyes to the sky where the wind and snow mingled, and giant beasts flew.
In the sky, there were two suns, emitting golden rays.
In fact, those were the eyes of some ancient demon beasts.
The elder stretched lazily, flexed, and murmured to himself, "After nurturing for so long, the injuries have stabilized."
"It's a pity... my lifespan is running out."
"It's time for a trip home, and then I'll head to the Lower Realm to find my grandson."
Just then, the two 'suns' in the sky disappeared.
A deep, old voice echoed through The Void, "Who might you be, to dare intrude on my treasure land, occupy my cave mansion, and steal my Spirit Source!"
The elder did not speak, simply braving the wind and snow, stepping forward.
As he took a step, the sky changed color instantly.
Time and space, everything seemed to be frozen.
Everything in creation lost its color, like a monotonous yet deep ink painting.
The Void was filled with fear when the deep voice spoke again, "Colorless Domain?"
"Are... Are you Emperor Solitude?"
"Forgive me, elder. I was blind and offended you."
Solitude halted, and the world swiftly regained its color.
"If we're not fighting, then you shall be my mount. I'm too lazy to travel."
"Elder, I... I am the Dragon King Yao Yun, guardian of this Star Realm."
Solitude replied indifferently, "It's an honor for you to be my mount."
"Um... Okay, elder. Where would you like to go?"
"Ji Family Village."
"..."
