On the Spirit Platform Jade Bed, Li Xiaonan suddenly opened his eyes. A world of shimmering silver lights floated in the air, resembling a starry night sky or the fireflies dancing in the summer.
He deftly turned and leaped towards one of the silver lights, reaching out to grasp it firmly in his hand.
In an instant, everything before him transformed. He found himself in a fresh green forest, where towering treetops resembled mushroom clouds, blocking the blue sky above.
The trees grew intertwined, making the vast forest feel like a maze.
"Young Master, you're here!" Li Xiaonan was still in a daze when he heard a soft, cute voice from behind him and quickly turned around.
"Who’s speaking?" Li Xiaonan scratched the back of his head, finding no one behind him.
"I'm right here, giggle!" A stunningly beautiful figure appeared, with delicate little ears and a top made of woven green leaves that accentuated her charming curves. Her slender waist was paired with a short skirt that revealed her fair legs, and one leg bent casually behind her. Crystal wings fluttered rapidly behind her.
The Sprite playfully hovered at the tip of Li Xiaonan's nose.
Li Xiaonan's bright black eyes widened as they focused on her nose, turning into a cross-eyed stare. He took a step back in surprise and stammered, "E-elf!"
"Elf? What’s that? It sounds lovely! So agile and spirited! Haha, Young Master, come with me quickly; Your Majesty is waiting for you." The tiny green figure giggled and gracefully spun in the air.
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but roll his eyes. Was this what cultivating Mental Power felt like?
He followed the sprite as they strolled through the forest, occasionally glancing at the sprite flitting up and down before him.
Fly higher! Fly even higher! Alas… still can’t see…
Though small like a sparrow, this sprite was well-proportioned and curvaceous.
The sprite turned back, her cheeks slightly flushed as she shyly said, "Young Master is so naughty… Thank you for your compliment. If you want to see Xiaoqian's body… just say it, and Xiaoqian will gladly show you…"
Li Xiaonan gasped in shock. This… this… could she read minds?
Xiaoqian fluttered around in a circle before landing on Li Xiaonan's shoulder. Lowering her head, she said, "Are you angry, young master? Xiaoqian was just curious about what you were thinking; I didn't mean to pry... I won't do it again, I swear!" As she spoke, she brought three fingers together and held them up by her ear, looking earnest.
"I'm not... I'm not angry... But where exactly is this place?" Li Xiaonan wished he could dig a hole and bury himself; it was just too embarrassing. It was one thing to have wild thoughts, but now a Sprite had overheard him.
What was even more frustrating was that the Sprite had apologized to him. How cliché!
Sprites were supposed to be the closest beings to nature, the purest of existences! And here he was, desecrating that purity...
Xiaoqian smiled playfully and flew back in front of Li Xiaonan. "This is the Green Fairy Trail! Have you lost your mind, young master?"
"I thought I was trapped on the Spirit Platform, cultivating my Mental Power. How did I suddenly end up here?" Li Xiaonan asked in confusion. His plans had gone awry, and his mind was still trying to catch up.
Xiaoqian covered her mouth and laughed even more joyfully before explaining, "When it comes to Mental Power, who in the world can compare to my Green Fairy Clan? If Your Majesty is happy or unhappy, they can easily turn that person outside into an Idiot!"
Wow! That's impressive! Li Xiaonan instantly imagined himself swallowing an egg whole.
From Xiaoqian's words, he gathered two points: first, the Elf Queen was incredibly powerful; second, she was unpredictable—her moods could be quite terrifying...
Dappled shadows from the trees fell across Li Xiaonan's face, making his originally handsome features appear even more surreal. The previously flying Xiaoqian smiled as she hovered beside him. "You really are quite handsome."
Li Xiaonan twitched at the corners of his mouth.
I'm not a young lady; what's there to be happy about being called good-looking...
"Is it Miss Xiaoqian? Why does your queen want to see me?" It was always wise to gather information first.
"Naturally because you're good-looking!"
Uh... A black line appeared above Li Xiaonan's head as he thought: Can good looks be eaten?
That Transgender Fairy outside is even more attractive than I am; why isn't she seeking him out instead of me...
Li Xiaonan's eyes shifted as he asked again, "Does your queen have any particular preferences? After all, this is my first time meeting her. Should I prepare some gifts?"
Xiaoqian's eyes suddenly sparkled like little stars. "You are so thoughtful, Young Master! Your Majesty will surely be very pleased!" She immediately opened up, revealing the Empress's birth date, zodiac sign, and interests in great detail.
It turned out that the Empress was a giant fairy! The term "giant" simply meant she was about the same size as a human, and she was the leader of the entire Green Fairy Clan.
As for the Green Fairy Clan, they were similar to what Li Xiaonan understood about fairies: peaceful, kind-hearted, and beautiful. The only difference was that the Green Fairy Trace consisted solely of females, all sharing a common mother—the Green Fairy Queen.
They had been living in seclusion for countless years. They did not practice cultivation but possessed their own Divine Body system. Not to mention ordinary cultivation practitioners, even immortals could not detect their presence unless they chose to reveal themselves.
A Green Fairy Trace had a lifespan of around five hundred years, while the Empress lived for ten thousand years. Every year, hundreds of Sprites were born from the Empress, and every few hundred years, a unique being would emerge—this would be the future Green Fairy Queen.
The fairies did not need to eat but adored the dew on tender leaves at sunrise. Therefore, Li Xiaonan planned to collect some dew to present to the Empress.
This generation's Empress was named Luna; she had just recently ascended to the throne and had not yet borne any offspring.
"Young Master, let's go find Your Majesty first; we can collect the dew later. With your thoughtfulness, the Empress will surely be delighted." Her large eyes twinkled as a hint of worry and urgency flashed across her face.
Li Xiaonan was lost in thoughts about what the Empress might look like and did not notice the unusual expression in Xiaoqian's eyes.
After walking for about half an hour, the path ahead suddenly opened up but came to an end. On both sides stood rows of Banyan Trees towering into the clouds, their massive canopies spreading out in layers and intertwining seamlessly.
"Young Master, we've arrived!"
Li Xiaonan was taken aback. Following Xiaoqian's delicate finger, he saw small houses perched atop the Banyan Tree crowns; these must be the homes of the Green Fairy Traces.
On the crown of the thickest Banyan Tree stood a single house, precisely where Xiaoqian pointed.
"Young Master, please come up with me!"
Li Xiaonan nodded and flew up alongside Xiaoqian.
"Xiaoqian, is it Li Young Master who has arrived? Please invite him in!" A sweet and melodious female voice echoed from inside the house.
Li Xiaonan shivered as if struck by lightning; a tingling sensation spread throughout his body.
"Oh my! This sound is unheard of in the heavens, let alone on earth. It's far more powerful than the duck-melting butterfly from that island nation. Just that one word, 'come in,' is enough to make my second brother stand tall and proud. The beauty of the Elf Queen must be breathtaking!"
Hmm! No, I need to act a bit more serious; I can't let her hear what I'm thinking!
Ah, come on! When have I ever been unserious? It’s too unkind to casually belittle myself like that.
"Young Master, what are you thinking? This is the Queen's private chamber; we cannot enter. Please hurry, we shouldn't keep Your Majesty waiting!" Xiaoqian slightly nodded, fanning her silver wings as she lingered nearby.
Li Xiaonan's face turned slightly red as he brushed aside the hanging wisteria curtain.
"Li Xiaonan pays his respects to Lady Luna..." He was halfway through his greeting when he secretly glanced at the Elf Queen and instantly froze.
Indeed… she was breathtaking, stunning enough to make his soul soar to the heavens and then plummet back to hell.
Luna's beauty was surely something that wouldn't even exist in the skies.
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but wonder if those pink-patterned silver wings behind her could even lift her off the ground.
He never expected the Elf Queen to be a complete Fat Girl, her figure easily equivalent to three Li Xiaonans. She was sunk deep into a pink princess bed, so plump that her features were all squished together; he could barely distinguish where her nose was—probably just that mound of flesh.
Seeing Li Xiaonan frozen in place, tears sparkled in Luna's eyes, but unfortunately, her overwhelming size made it impossible for him to notice.
She weakly said, "Did I... scare you, Young Master?"
Li Xiaonan tightly shut his eyes and straightened his back; he simply couldn't connect that delicate voice with such a terrifying appearance.
Out of politeness but unable to betray his conscience, Li Xiaonan replied lightly, "No, it's just that Lady Luna is somewhat different from what I imagined. I heard you enjoy drinking dew; I'll gather some for you first thing tomorrow morning."
"Creak creak!"
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but frown; just from the sound alone, he could tell it was the bed groaning.
Where have my values gone? Starry Illusion Continent, how many more ridiculous things do you have in store for me?
Luna appeared extremely excited. "Th-thank you, my lord."
After a long silence, Li Xiaonan was nearly asleep with his eyes closed, yet he genuinely didn't want to open them. After all, he was not facing an ordinary woman, but a super-sized girl whose features he couldn't even make out.
He sighed and said, "May I ask why the queen has summoned me?"
"I... I greatly admire you, my lord, and I wanted to have a conversation with you. I also... would like to be with you, Obedient Dragon II." Although the words "Obedient Dragon II" were spoken lightly, they struck Li Xiaonan's ears like thunder.
Dual cultivation...
No! This girl is too greasy; I can't possibly go along with this. But directly rejecting her wouldn't be polite. What should I do?
An idea struck him. He quickly said, "Miss Luna, I am currently trapped on the Spirit Platform in a perilous situation. Could we discuss the matter of Obedient Dragon II once I am safe?"
"Then... can you at least chat with me?" Luna blinked her eyes and stared intently at Li Xiaonan, but unfortunately, he still couldn't see her.
"Alright... fine..."
What the hell? Xiaoqian tricked me! Isn't this Fat Girl supposed to be brutal all the time? Why hasn't she mentioned anything about instantly killing Ni Zhi? This doesn't make sense!
In fact, Li Xiaonan misunderstood Xiaoqian; the queen she referred to was not Luna but the former queen, Mitasia.
