Sweet Revolution: Panda Mouse's Smile Medal
A sweet flower sculpture stood in the center of Storybrooke's square. Its petals were shaped like Roo's panda paws, and its stamens were embedded with interstellar chocolates gifted by the GM. The townspeople cheered Roo and tossed him into the air—the black fuzz around his panda eyes had faded to a light gray, like he was wearing a pair of fashionable sunglasses. His tail curled around his newly earned smile medal, inscribed with the words "Sweet Savior."
"This medal is made of my fur!" Xiaodou excitedly wagged his tail, and the fur fell on Bai Shenyuan's shoulders. "I can exchange my fur for a medal in the future~"
"Fool," Bai Shenyuan (Bai Yan's personality) chuckled, brushing the icing off the tip of his nose with his fingertips. "This is made from the tears and sweet flowers of the townspeople. It's much more precious than a dime."
Suddenly, Shubao Candy Cake crawled out of the crowd, his tail curled around a crooked piece of osmanthus cake—a piece he'd gnawed out with his baby teeth. Touched, Xiaodou took it, only to discover a strawberry crystal core from the Star Wars arc hidden within. Biting it open, the sweet juice splattered across Bai Shenyuan's face, drawing laughter from the entire town.
"Look! The guardian is blushing because of the sweetness!"
"Panda Mouse and Guardian are such a great match!"
Snowball squatted on top of the sculpture and wiped his paws with a wet towel. "The hair-shedding monster is now a hairless monster, but since he asked me to be his bridesmaid, I have to admit that this wedding was pretty good."
Robot Cat took the opportunity to launch new business:
- Cute Charging Station: Use the fur of Xiaodou to generate electricity and power the townspeople's mechanical clocks;
- Panda Bus: The interior is decorated with Xiaodou's paw prints, and the seats are made of marshmallows, which replenish HP when you bite them.
- Yunxushu Live Broadcast: 24 hours of broadcasting of Xiaodou chewing bamboo and Bai Shenyuan combing his hair, with GM taking the lead in rewarding interstellar rockets.
"Ding!" A financial report popped up on the mechanical cat's chip. "It's estimated that within three months, Storybrooke will become the sweetest tourist destination in the universe~"
Lin Shen's personality pushed his glasses: "I suggest adding a 'bitter souvenir' area and using the witch's bitter chocolate to make a heartbreak set meal, reverse marketing."
Ling Yuan sneered, "You're still the same Lin Shen whose mind is solely focused on business."
Amidst the festivities, the sweet flower in the center of the square suddenly withered, its petals embroidered with the patterns of fragments of the Concept Rat Throne. Xiaodou rushed over to nibble on the petals, but on his tongue he tasted the rust of demonic chains, and a flash of the fox demon elder kneeling on the ground flashed through his mind.
"Concept Rat King, the chains of Chaohuangtai are loosening again! The ferocious beast is about to awaken!"
"How could this happen?" Bai Yan Ge supported Xiaodou, who was about to fall, "We have clearly broken the witch's magic."
Lin Shen's personality used a scanner to analyze the petals: "These flowers have absorbed the energy of the throne fragments, and the essence of the fragments is... the shackles used by the Heavenly Dao to imprison the Concept Rat King."
The GM's face changed drastically, and he pulled out his mechanical panda pet from his pocket. "My panda also had a similar fragment in its eye. At that time, Tiandao said it was a 'sweet gift'..."
Xiaodou felt the energy in his panda form draining away, and his vision began to blur. Bai Shenyuan switched to Lingyuan's personality, and a rope shot out from his tactical belt to secure him. "Hold on! Your form is bound to the power of the Concept Rat. The resonance of the fragments will cause you to transform back into a Lucky Rat!"
"But the demon world needs the sweet purification of the panda mouse!" Xiaodou struggled to gnaw at the eyes of the mechanical panda, and actually gnawed out a piece of ice crystal osmanthus - it was the token left by Bai Yan's parents in the demon world chapter.
The ice crystal osmanthus shattered in the sunlight, revealing the message inside:
"Abyss, if you see this flower, it means the shackles of the Heavenly Dao have begun to revive. Remember, the tears of the Concept Rat are the final key."
The town suddenly shook, and cracks appeared in the ground, revealing the chains of the demonic realm's Chaohuangtai. Xiaodou's panda form vanished completely, transforming back into a fortune-bringing rat. The medallion on his tail shattered, revealing the core of the word "sweet" within the cracks—the true meaning of the Concept Rat Clan.
"I'm sorry," Xiaodou choked and rubbed Bai Shenyuan's palm, "I have to let you take risks for me again."
Bai Shenyuan chuckled softly, and the voices of the three personalities overlapped as they kissed each other. "From the demon world to Storybrooke, I've been waiting for the opportunity to adventure with you. This time, we will eat my parents' share and together we will gnaw the shackles of the Heavenly Dao into shreds."
A mechanical voice suddenly sounded:
"An imbalance in the sweet energy of the multiverse has been detected. The host needs to go to the next world - Steampunk!"
The moment the space-time rift opened, Xiaodou saw the Mechanical Queen of the Steam World wearing a gear crown. Inlaid on the crown were fragments of the eye of the Concept Mouse Throne, and her mechanical heart was beating with bitter dark chocolate syrup.
