Upon hearing Jianpeng's question, a hint of pride appeared on Lori's previously sorrowful face. She smiled and replied, "My home doesn't need an ordinary door. It's managed automatically by a very intelligent butler."
Upon hearing this, Jianpeng's eyes widened in surprise, his mouth slightly agape, his face filled with disbelief. The others, like Jianpeng, were equally astonished by Luo Li's answer.
However, Blue Peacock, Bright Color, and Jasmine were not surprised by this. After all, in the past, they often came to have afternoon tea with Loli when she was still a fairy. In those gatherings, they had naturally gotten to know this magical flower housekeeper and were quite familiar with her existence and abilities.
Lori gently waved her magic wand, casting a spell to awaken the sleeping Flower Butler. The Flower Butler's ethereal figure gradually materialized before everyone, bowing respectfully to Lori before beginning to converse with her.
Before they could exchange more than a few words, a dark force suddenly drifted into the Flower Butler's body from the outside; it was Queen Mandora's curse at work.
The flower housekeeper's body began to tremble violently. Its beautiful petals fell like leaves swept by the autumn wind, swirling in the air before disappearing without a trace, leaving only a fading, illusory form.
Lori witnessed this scene and was filled with grief. She rushed forward without thinking and called out the name of the housekeeper, her voice filled with despair and helplessness.
Seeing Loli's distress, Jasmine quickly stepped forward and gently patted Loli's back, trying to offer her some comfort.
Meanwhile, the others were not idle either; they began to ponder how to enter the castle, which was surrounded by numerous difficulties.
Everyone huddled together, discussing various possible methods. Finally, a brilliant idea flashed in Shu Yan's mind, and he made a bold suggestion: to cut a hole in the glass next to them.
He explained the steps of the plan in detail: "We can first have Wang Mo use fire magic to scorch the glass, using the high temperature of the flames to soften it, and then Chen Sisi can use ice magic to freeze it."
By subjecting the glass to alternating hot and cold temperatures, we can create cracks. Then, working together, we can attack the cracked glass and perhaps open a passage into the castle.
Hearing Shu Yan's plan, everyone nodded in agreement. They immediately began to act according to the plan. Wang Mo took a deep breath, concentrated, and when he felt the power gathered in his hand was sufficient, he gently waved it, and a ball of blazing flame shot towards the glass wall. The flame burned fiercely on the glass, which gradually began to redden and soften.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Sisi also quickly cast ice magic. A cold current instantly enveloped the glass that was being scorched by the flames. Under the interaction of the two extreme forces of hot and cold, fine cracks appeared on the glass.
Finally, everyone shouted in unison, gathering their magical power together and launching a final attack on the cracked glass. With a loud crash, the glass shattered, revealing a narrow opening just large enough for everyone to pass through.
The group cautiously made their way through the opening and into the castle. An old and oppressive atmosphere permeated the castle, and the dim lighting made it almost impossible to see their surroundings.
Chen Sisi and the others decided to split up on the first floor and search for clues that might be related to the Heart of Kindness Sect and the Fairy Bank. They searched every room and corridor on the first floor carefully, leaving no corner unchecked, but after all their efforts, they still found nothing.
Shu Yan frowned, pondered for a moment, and then suggested, "Why don't we extract Fairy Xinling's body? Perhaps she can give us some clues." Everyone thought the suggestion made sense, so they unanimously agreed.
Wang Mo walked gently to the place where Fairy Xinling's body was placed, her eyes filled with awe and anticipation. She said softly, "Shopkeeper, we have successfully entered Lolita's Flower Bud Castle, but where are the Heart Gate and Fairy Bank that you asked us to open? Shopkeeper, could you give us a hint?"
After speaking, Wang Mo and the others stood there quietly, waiting expectantly for a miracle to happen. Just as everyone was getting anxious, a miraculous scene unfolded.
As if alive, Fairy Xinling's body slowly emitted a soft pink light. Then, she transformed into light, which, like a guiding ribbon, gently encircled the group and carried them slowly towards the second floor.
With a mix of nervousness and excitement, the group followed the light to a bedroom on the second floor. The bedroom was furnished with various exquisite pieces of furniture, but at the moment, no one had time to pay attention to them. Their eyes were drawn to one thing in the room—a delicate gemstone box on Lori's dressing table.
The Ye Luoli warriors immediately surrounded it, knowing that what Xinling had left for them must be in this box. After a careful search and exploration,
They finally discovered the Floating Cloud Pavilion of the Fairy Bank inside the box, and following the detailed instructions left by Fairy Xinling, they successfully found a way to enter it. With a mix of trepidation and excitement, the group stepped into the Floating Cloud Pavilion.
Upon entering the Floating Cloud Tower, Jianpeng and Wang Mo were immediately struck by the sight before them. They couldn't help but marvel at how vast the space inside the box was, as if it were a mysterious little world separate from the fairyland.
