Ao Luan carefully took a bite of the Stone Fruit.

The Stone Fruit shattered upon biting, with a very unique texture, and once eaten, a cool and fragrant breath enveloped the entire body.

Unable to resist the temptation, Ao Luan quickly devoured the Stone Fruit.

However, immediately after, the cool sensation disappeared, and a scorching heat swept through.

Ao Luan's complexion changed slightly, and a golden torrent suddenly appeared, rushing wildly inside her body.

"Brother."

Ao Luan's body radiated golden light: "The Spiritual Energy of this Stone Fruit is too strong."

"It's okay."

Sun Wukong reached out and touched Ao Luan; a coolness wrapped around her, dispelling the heat.

Ao Luan concentrated on absorbing the Spiritual Energy of the Stone Fruit.

The fruit's Spiritual Energy was different from normal, more like Immortal Energy. It took a full two sticks of incense in time before she fully absorbed it.

Ao Luan opened her eyes again, feeling as if the entire world before her became clearer.

"Brother."

She said happily: "I seem to have become stronger!"

But after saying this, she suddenly stopped.

Ao Luan found Sun Wukong had grown taller; she had to lift her head to see his face.

No, not Sun Wukong growing taller...

"I—"

Ao Luan looked at her hands: "I seem to have become smaller."

"It's not a seeming."

Sun Wukong waved his hand and conjured new clothes for her: "You've actually become smaller."

Ao Luan transformed into a small girl with skin white as jade.

Though young, her beauty was undiminished, with lofty hair and delicately shaped eyebrows.

Sun Wukong reached out to lift her, saying, "Let's go to Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad to ask."

"Okay."

Ao Luan forced herself to calm down.

The two left Shuilian Cave and flew toward the Alchemy Valley of Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad.

"Great King, Great..."

The Bear Demon King and Fox King, who had come to visit, were about to stop Sun Wukong but stopped in their tracks, their mouths agape, wider than gongs.

"Did you see it?"

After a long while, the Bear Demon King asked.

"Mhm, the Great King seems to be holding a little girl."

The Fox King said.

"Don't you think she looks a bit like Ao Luan Fairy?"

The Bear Demon King asked: "Did the Great King and the Fairy have a child?"

"What!"

The Fox King was immediately shocked.

Sun Wukong and Ao Luan were completely unaware of what had happened and soon arrived at the Alchemy Valley of Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad.

"Stone Fruit?"

Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, after hearing the story, was utterly puzzled.

He asked Ao Luan some questions about her physical condition, took her pulse, and checked the Immortal Energy within her.

Then, Lord Lao Zi concluded: "It's just rejuvenation, no big deal."

"Rejuvenation?"

Sun Wukong was surprised, as he had never heard of Immortals rejuvenating.

"Why did this happen?"

"The fruit you fed her can reshape the Immortal Body and lengthen life, perhaps she ate too much and triggered a side effect."

Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad stroked his beard, saying: "Not to worry, the Fairy is an Immortal; with diligent Cultivation, she can return to normal within ten years."

Sun Wukong and Ao Luan both sighed in relief.

"But the origin of that Stone Fruit is a mystery to me," said Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad. "If the Heavenly Emperor gets another one, please make sure to bring me one."

He was always interested in the unknown.

Sun Wukong promised right away.

He carried Ao Luan away from the Alchemy Valley.

"Brother, can you put me down?"

Ao Luan came to her senses, realizing that the position was too intimate.

Her cheeks flushed red, like little apples.

Sun Wukong put her down.

"Brother."

Ao Luan straightened her clothes: "How am I supposed to work like this?"

She was somewhat troubled.

Sun Wukong felt a bit apologetic.

"You don't have to work today."

He squatted down, took Ao Luan's hand, and said: "Whatever you want to do, I'll accompany you."

Ao Luan stared blankly at where their hands were linked.

Her small hand in his large one, she looked for a long time and then gripped a little tighter.

She felt a vague happiness inside.

"This is also good."

Ao Luan thought to herself, in this state, she could be willful and act spoiled at will.

"Brother, I've always wanted to do one thing."

She said.

Sun Wukong looked at her.

After a moment of hesitation, Ao Luan said: "Can I hang on you like those little demons do?"

Sun Wukong was stunned, then burst into laughter.

"Alright."

He turned his back, allowing Ao Luan to climb on.

"Is this alright?"

"Yes."

Ao Luan said happily.

Sun Wukong shook his head, taking off into the air with her on his back.

Ao Luan, curious, scrambled around on his back, now poking out from his left shoulder, then from his right.

Next, she pulled apart Sun Wukong's hand, emerging from under his armpit.

"Is this fun?"

Sun Wukong smiled.

"Hm?"

Ao Luan looked up and immediately saw Sun Wukong's smiling eyes.

"Not bad."

Ao Luan was a bit shy; under the sunlight, her cheeks were glossy as jade.

Sun Wukong rarely saw Ao Luan behaving so willfully, so he let her cling to him all day like a sticky bug.

"Being smaller isn't so bad after all."

Ao Luan mused.

But when night fell, Sun Wukong still let her down.

"If you don't want to be discovered, I have a way."

Sun Wukong pulled out a Monkey Hair and handed it to Ao Luan: "Take this Monkey Hair, chant 'transform' silently, and you will revert to your original size."

Ao Luan took the Monkey Hair, chanted quietly, and indeed returned to her previous tall figure.

"Alright."

In her joy, she also felt a sense of loss.

Once back to her original size, the urge to act spoiled in Ao Luan vanished.

But she quickly braced her spirits; after all, a day of being spoiled was enough.

Now wasn't the time to indulge in romance.
