Immortal Grass Forest.
Everlasting City.
Luo Xiu waited at the city gate with four beautiful fairies for half a day before Dou Dou finally showed up.
Back in the reception hall, Luo Xiu had bribed Dou Dou with a bag of snacks.
After agreeing to go to the Upside-down Sky with Luo Xiu, Dou Dou said she needed to make so preparations and get so treasure-hunting gear, so she told Luo Xiu to wait for her at the city gate first.
But he waited and waited, and the flowers practically withered.
...
"Chen Shuisheng!"
Dou Dou had barely stepped out of the city gate when she happily ran toward Luo Xiu.
She'd changed into the little white dress she used to wear, taken off the crown on her head, looking exactly the sa as before.
Behind her followed another little elf loli—Tu Tu.
Luo Xiu turned and looked at Dou Dou running toward him, his eyes full of gentleness.
She really hadn't changed at all.
On her back was a pot, a hoe stuck diagonally at her waist, a broken sword in her left hand, and the Big Black Umbrella in her right.
Dou Dou dove into Luo Xiu's arms and said, "Chen Shuisheng, look, Dou Dou brought the Acne-Removing Divine Hoe and the Kun-stewing Divine Cauldron too!"
"I'll cook Demonic Beast at for you later!"
Luo Xiu said, "This trip we might not be treasure-hunting, but fighting."
"Fighting is fun too, this Your Majesty is the White Emperor now!"
Tu Tu ca over, reached out her tender little hand to tug on Luo Xiu's clothes, tilted up her little face to stare at Luo Xiu, and said pitifully, "Elephant Trunk, let tell you, when you weren't here, Her Majesty the Queen often picked fights with Tu Tu. Once she even punched Tu Tu's nose till it bled."
Luo Xiu put Dou Dou down and reached out to rub Tu Tu's head. "When the High Priest cos back, I'll have her beat up your Queen for you."
"Mm!"
"Alright, let's go, ti to set out."
"Qiudu Made!" Dou Dou suddenly jumped to the side. "Chen Shuisheng, help Dou Dou hold this umbrella!"
Zhang Yi asked curiously, "Little Queen, what are you going to do?"
"Get my treasure, of course." Dou Dou chuckled, tossed the umbrella to Luo Xiu, then reached into her pink little satchel and pulled out a leaf that was crystal clear like a piece of jade.
The few beautiful fairies all looked full of curiosity and crowded over.
"What kind of treasure is that?"
Tu Tu, who was clinging to Luo Xiu's thigh and acting spoiled, said proudly, "What Her Majesty the Queen took out is a treasure of our Ageless Tribe, it's called the 'Leaf Boat'! It's a Magical Treasure refined by the High Priest, super amazing!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Dou Dou on the other side waved her small hand and tossed that jade-like leaf into the sky.
Right after, Dou Dou ford hand seals with both hands and began chanting a spell.
"Love is a beam of light, so green it makes you panic! Transform!"
Xu Qianqing had black lines all over her face. "Did you co up with that incantation yourself?"
Dou Dou smiled proudly at Xu Qianqing. "Qian Qing-jie, you're still too young, you don't understand how aweso I am."
As green light flared, under everyone's stunned gaze, that little jade leaf actually transford in midair into a giant ship a hundred ters long.
The ship as a whole was oval-shaped, like an olive pit, and looked just like green gemstone, exuding an indescribable charm.
Dou Dou clapped her little hands. "All done, let's get on. Dou Dou will take you all flying!"
...
On the Leaf Boat.
Inside the spacious cockpit.
Luo Xiu was half-reclined in a chair, eyes narrowed in comfort as he enjoyed Luo Qingxian's massage.
At this mont Dou Dou and Tu Tu were at the helm. Since they weren't tall enough, they were standing on stools, four little hands gripping the steering wheel, yanking it back and forth, arguing nonstop, neither willing to give in.
"Mine, let drive!"
"Your Majesty the Queen, your skills are bad. Tu Tu has driven before!"
"Nonsense, this Your Majesty is an old driver. If you don't believe , ask Chen Shuisheng!"
"Then do you know where the Upside-down Sky is?"
"Nope."
"But Tu Tu knows, because I went there before with the High Priest!"
"Then just tell . For everyone's safety and to make sure we arrive as soon as possible, this Your Majesty has to be the one at the helm."
"Sigh, okay then. Tu Tu will go play with Elephant Trunk."
"..."
On the other side.
Zhang Yi, Xu Qianqing, and Su Shanyue were playing Fight the Landlord, the three won giggling away. Zhang Yi in particular was full of dirty jokes, at least eight out of every ten lines were "driving the car."
Luo Xiu's gaze drifted toward those three pairs of long, snow-white legs, and his thoughts began to wander.
Especially Xu Qianqing—her short skirt was practically hooking his soul away.
Luo Qingxian suddenly said, "I heard quite a few Forces of the Heavenly Realm have stayed behind at the Upside-Down Mountain, so this trip we're bound to get into so serious fighting."
Luo Xiu said, "Our top priority is, of course, rescuing the Three-star Clan Leader."
"Don't worry, Elephant Trunk."
Just then Tu Tu poked her little head up from under the chair, crafty as ever.
Luo Qingxian jumped. "When did you crawl under the chair?"
Tu Tu waved her little fists and said seriously, "Tu Tu will protect Elephant Trunk."
Luo Qingxian looked at her curiously. "Speaking of that, Your Majesty, why do the fairies of the Elf Race all call you Elephant Trunk? Your nose doesn't look like an elephant's at all."
"Uh…" Luo Xiu reached up to touch his nose and said, "That's grown-up business. Kids shouldn't pry."
Luo Qingxian huffed. "Fine, don't tell then."
Tu Tu covered her mouth and giggled, lying under the chair as she said, "From down here, Tu Tu can kick Elephant Trunk's butt with my feet."
Luo Qingxian picked her up and said gently, "The floor's dirty, don't lie on it. Tu Tu, tell big sis, why is he called Elephant Trunk?"
Tu Tu stared at Luo Qingxian with her big, watery eyes and said, "When Elephant Trunk first ca to Everlasting City, he went to the dicine Garden to peep on everyone taking a bath, then the High Priest stripped him naked…"
"Shut up!"
Seeing things going south, Luo Xiu hurriedly stood up and covered Tu Tu's mouth. He said to Luo Qingxian, "Don't let her fool you, these little brats lie all day long."
"Bang—!"
Just then a loud boom suddenly rang out, and the boat shook violently.
Everyone in the cabin was startled, thinking they were under attack.
Zhang Yi suddenly cried out, "Look, Dou Dou is dozing off, she just ran into a mountain!"
Luo Xiu looked at Dou Dou and sighed helplessly.
"Forget it, I'll drive."
"..."
...
After circling around.
Three days later.
Luo Xiu and his group finally found the exact location of the Upside-down Sky.
The so-called Upside-Down Mountain wasn't a mountain standing on the ground, but a giant island hidden deep within a sea of clouds.
Before the Leaf Boat could even land on the island, they were blocked in midair by a group of War Soldiers in Armor.
Within the ethereal immortal mist.
A deep voice suddenly rang out: "Are you fairies from the Immortal Grass Forest?"
Dou Dou walked to the window, her expression stern. "That's right, it is this Your Majesty!"
"The gate of the Upside-down Sky has not yet opened. Your Majesty the Queen, please return for now."
Dou Dou suddenly smiled. "So you're not giving Dou Dou any face, huh? Listen up, Chen Shuisheng is taking this Your Majesty into the Upside-Down Mountain to look for treasures. Hurry up and move aside!"
The Void fell silent for a mont, then that deep voice sounded again: "Your Majesty the Queen, please co over and talk."
Dou Dou said arrogantly, "Talk, then talk! You think this Your Majesty is scared of you?"
Luo Xiu suddenly placed a hand on Dou Dou's shoulder, sweeping his gaze over those vague figures looming in the immortal mist, his expression solemn. "Don't go yet. Be careful, they might be up to sothing."
Only now did he realize that his Divine Sense could barely penetrate that seemingly ordinary immortal mist.
But Dou Dou didn't care in the slightest. "What's there to be scared of? With my current Power, even if they've got two kings, so what?"
"Chen Shuisheng, just wait here. Dou Dou will be right back!"
"..."
A mont later.
A bolt of lightning suddenly exploded!
A deafening blast bood through the Void, as if space itself had shattered!
At the sa ti, shrill screams echoed.
"Thunderbolt Half-Moon Slash!"
"Chen Shuisheng, Dou Dou knocked them all flat. You can co in now!"
Luo Xiu gave a thumbs up. "That's our Queen, classic style!"
Zhang Yi complained, "Dou Dou, how co your Taoist Arts move sounds so familiar to ?"
Xu Qianqing nodded. "I rember hearing it sowhere when I was a kid."
"Ah—!"
But right at that mont, Dou Dou's miserable scream suddenly ca from within the ethereal immortal mist.
Imdiately after, there was no sound from her at all.
