Ever since Xiajing returned, Shen Siyuan has been venturing to the Yangzhou Netherworld almost every night.
Tonight, the sky over the Netherworld remains a deep ink color, without stars or moon, only the Yin Wind sweeping through the wild grass, making a whispering sound.
Shen Siyuan walks at the forefront, followed by the three little ones, their figures casting long shadows on the vast wilderness.
Dou Dou wears armor transformed from the Lotus Lamp, which emits a faint glow, making her small body appear exceptionally spirited.
As she walks, she clenches her small fists, patting her belly with a "boom boom clang, boom boom clang."
When the armor is struck, it emits a dull yet crisp sound, perfectly in tune with the rhythm of the Three Pure Ones Bell on Xiao Yue.
With each step Xiao Yue takes, the bell rings, complementing Dou Dou's "drumbeat," adding a lively touch to the otherwise dead silence of the Netherworld.
