Bitter Candy House: Panda Mouse's Tears Are Sweet
The sky of Fairy Tale Town was like a piece of melted dark chocolate. Xiaodou lay on Snowball's back, his claws tightly grasping the cuffs of White Abyss - at this moment he was in the form of a panda mouse, his black and white fur was fluffy enough to hide a whole piece of osmanthus cake, but the tip of his tail was curled into a question mark due to nervousness.
"What a stinky smell..." Snowball shook his ears, "This smell is even worse than the food storage warehouse of the hair-shedding monster!"
"That's the taste of absinthe." Bai Shenyuan (Bai Yan's personality) frowned, and foxfire gathered on his fingertips to illuminate the front. "According to the history of desserts in the Star Wars chapter, absinthe is a symbol of 'sweet taboo'."
The candy shop sign before him was crooked, and in the window stood a moldy chocolate frog, its eyes hollow black buttons. Xiaodou jumped off the snowball, and just as his paw touched the glass, a holographic projection suddenly popped up in the window: "Today's Special: Broken Heart Chocolate. Eat it and you'll cry~"
"Sounds like the 'River of Sorrow Cake' from the Star Wars arc." Lin Shen's personality pushed up his glasses. "But according to my scan, these chocolates contain 'emotional blockers.'"
Xiaodou tilted his head, his panda eyes gleaming in the darkness. He stood on tiptoe and nudged the Chocolate Frog with his moist nose. The next second, the frog's mouth suddenly opened, spitting out a note: "Save us! The sweetness is fading."
"Ding!" a mechanical voice sounded, "Bitter energy detected, triggering the 'Sweet Purification' skill!"
Xiaodou opened his mouth and bit into the chocolate frog, the black and white fur trembling gently with the rhythm of his chewing. The acrid absinthe exploded on his tongue, but the moment he swallowed it, it transformed into the tart sweetness of strawberry jam. His eyes lit up, and he slapped his tail on the ground, sending up chocolate crumbs that turned into rainbow jelly beans.
"This is..." The candy shop owner knelt down tremblingly, "My grandma's strawberry chocolate! Ever since the witch's reign, I can no longer make this flavor..."
The boss looked up, the tears in his eyes suddenly dried up, revealing a smile of having survived a disaster. Xiaodou then realized that there was a layer of gray mist in the pupils of the townspeople, which was gradually dissipating as the sweetness spread.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Twelve crow guards burst into the candy house, their wings flapping like absinthe. The leading guard raised a serrated knife, the blade engraved with the same runes as the demon chain. "Who is disrupting the bitter order?"
Bai Shenyuan instantly switched to Lingyuan's personality, the cold light of his unsheathed gun reflecting off Xiaodou's panda eyes. However, the next second, Xiaodou's nervousness caused the fur around his panda eyes to turn completely black, his round eyes transformed into two black grapes, and his tail curled into the shape of a sticky rice cake.
“Click.”
The guard's serrated knife dropped to the ground. All the crows tilted their heads simultaneously, their claws surreptitiously pulling out small notebooks. "Record: Super ferocious and adorable creature spotted. Attack intent -99%, desire to ravage +∞."
"Warning! The guard is in a cute stun!" The robot cat's chip flashed red. "Xiaodou, please use 'Panda Circle' to maximize your victory!"
Xiaodou did as he was told, spinning in circles, his black and white fur creating a swirl of sweet fragrance. The guards collectively gurgled in ecstasy, even using their wings to pull out bitter chocolate and feed it to him: "Red Panda, please accept this bitter tribute!"
Bai Yan's personality took the opportunity to distribute osmanthus cakes baked with fox fire. The fox fire pattern on the cakes overlapped with the fragments of the marriage certificate from the Demon Realm chapter. "Try it? It's fresh from the oven."
The moment the townspeople took a bite, the gray mist in their eyes completely dissipated. Some cried and said, "It feels like a mother's hug," while others laughed and said, "It's sweeter than a first kiss." Xiaodou looked at this scene and suddenly remembered the way Bai Yan blew up the kitchen to ash when he first baked cakes in the Demon World chapter. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
The leader of the guards took off his helmet, revealing calico ears—unbelievably the reincarnation of the cat director of the 1960s production team! He leaned close to Xiaodou and said in a voice only animals could hear, "There's a memory jar in the castle basement. Inside the jar is a sweet hidden by the witch..."
Before he could finish his words, the ceiling suddenly collapsed, revealing the Bitter Witch's shadow. Her skirt was made up of the GM's proposal letter, and every word was stained with tears: "Who is destroying my Bitter Kingdom? Especially that panda rat..."
Xiaodou looked up and discovered that the projected eyes were two pieces of solidified bitter chocolate, identical to the eyes of the Sky-Swallowing Beast from the Demon Realm. Bai Shenyuan clenched his claws, and the three soul patterns on his arms flickered alternately. "Don't be afraid. No matter who she is, she can't take away your sweetness."
