Guga Outfit, Cloud Retainer Immortal Chicken!

Qin Qi and Gugu Gaga instantly arrived in that valley through spacetime travel.

"Gugu Gaga, guga. This is the place. This is where I threw the backpack."

Gugu Gaga pointed at the valley with her little wing and spoke.

"Okay, now we'll... Achoo!"

"So cold, so cold!"

Qin Qi drew in a breath and felt as if his lungs had frozen stiff.

His whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, his temperature rapidly dropping.

"Guga? Human, what's wrong with you?"

Guga watched the shivering Qin Qi, tilted her head adorably, and spoke.

"I-I'm freezing to death!"

Even Qin Qi's teeth were chattering, and the pitch of his voice had changed.

"No, Guga, we have to go back. I need to go back and put on more clothes."

"Otherwise, I'll freeze to death before we even find anything!"

Qin Qi felt that he had seriously underestimated the temperature of the Far North. The most dangerous thing here might not be Soul Beasts.

It was the Far North's brutal climate. At this temperature, they did not even need to encounter a Soul Beast attack.

Qin Qi would freeze to death simply by staying here a little longer!

"Guga! Human, don't be afraid. Guga has a way. Leave it to Guga!"

As Gugu Gaga spoke, she reached into the Fourth-Dimensional Pocket on her belly and rummaged around.

Then she suddenly jumped up and slipped something over Qin Qi's body.

"What is this?"

Qin Qi was stunned by Guga's sudden move, but he could feel his body temperature rapidly rising.

The biting cold was blocked out. He lowered his head and looked at himself, then at his hands.

He was now wearing the same Penguin Suit as Guga, and his hands had turned into little wings.

"This thing... where's the zipper?"

"How did Guga put this on me?"

Qin Qi turned around in confusion, yet he could not find the zipper anywhere.

It was as though the Penguin Suit itself had fused with him.

"Guga! Human, you're not cold anymore, right?"

Guga raised her head, a proud little expression appearing on her face as she spoke.

"I'm really not cold anymore. All right, let's quickly find Klee's Dodoco and get out of here."

Qin Qi could not be bothered to think about how the outfit had been put on. He simply chalked it up to Guga's divine power.

"Guga!"

Guga raised her little wing to show that she understood.

The two then began searching through the snowy valley. Qin Qi even dug through the snow.

But they still found nothing.

"Guga, are you sure you threw the backpack here?"

Qin Qi looked around, frowning as he spoke.

"Guga. I'm sure."

Gugu Gaga nodded fiercely. She was certain that she had thrown the backpack here.

But why was the backpack gone?

"Phew... Guga, we have two choices now."

"The first is to pretend nothing happened, go back, and carry on as usual."

"When Klee asks us someday where Dodoco, the first best friend her mother personally made for her, went..."

"We play dumb and say we don't know."

After Qin Qi finished speaking, he looked at Gugu Gaga as if asking for her opinion.

"Guga! We can't do that. That would be wrong!"

Gugu Gaga shook her head and refused without hesitation. Lying was wrong.

And that Dodoco was very important to Klee. If it were lost, Klee would be terribly sad.

"The second choice is for the two of us to keep searching here. If we can't find it, we don't go back."

"Rather than go back and see Klee's sad expression, we'll freeze to death here."

After Qin Qi finished, he extended his hand. He chose the second option. Rather than go back and watch the little girl cry...

He would rather freeze to death here.

"Guga!"

Guga extended her wing without hesitation. The large wing and small wing overlapped.

A big penguin and a little penguin reached an agreement. The two decided that they had to find Dodoco.

Meanwhile, the Titan Snow Demon King, A-Tai, brought the backpack he had picked up back to his tribe.

He was curious about what was inside the backpack, and what the dangling doll and decorations were.

At the border of the Far North, the I-Beam Gugas had moved an iceberg over.

"Guga! Foreman, the iceberg is a little too big. We don't seem to be able to take it over there."

One Guga suddenly noticed the problem: the village was too small, while the iceberg was too large.

They had no way to carry the iceberg over.

"Guga... Guga! All right, decided. Let's break this iceberg apart."

"Guga! We'll only take what we need and leave the rest here."

As expected of the foreman, I-Beam Guga quickly came up with a solution.

"Guga! Get to work!"

"Guga!"

With a plan in place, the Gugu Gagas immediately got to work. They dismantled the iceberg.

They selected the best ores from it to build houses for Qin Qi, Guga, Doro, and the others.

Meanwhile, Designer Guga had finished her blueprint, and the house-building project officially began.

While the Gugas worked in full swing, Klee sat obediently where she had been before, waiting for Qin Qi to return.

"Doro?"

Doro had returned. She looked around and did not see Qin Qi or Guga, but she did see Klee.

She walked over to Klee, tugged on her clothes, and asked where Qin Qi and the others had gone.

"Doro Ancestor, Brother Qin Qi and the others went to help me find Dodoco."

Klee spoke.

"Doro?"

Doro tilted her head in confusion, then pointed behind herself at a gigantic immortal bird.

"Doro. This is someone Doro brought back to help. If there's anything you need made, just ask her."

"Doro. I'll leave Klee to you. I'm going to find them. Bye-bye."

After Doro finished speaking, she vanished. She had gone to find Qin Qi.

Only Klee and Xianyun remained at the scene.

"Hello, I'm Klee, Spark Knight of the Knights of Favonius. Who are you?"

Klee politely greeted Xianyun.

"I am merely an ordinary passerby who happens to be skilled at repairing and designing all kinds of mechanisms."

Xianyun looked at Klee and suddenly felt an urge to take this child home with her.

"Hm?"

Klee did not understand what the person before her was saying. She tilted her head in confusion.

"All right, I do not enjoy idle chatter. Bring out whatever needs repairing."

"I will fix it as quickly as possible."

Xianyun felt as though she did not know what else to say, so she spoke.

"Repair what... Klee doesn't know. Brother Qin Qi didn't tell Klee."

Klee shook her head. Qin Qi had not instructed her about this before leaving, so she did not know what to do.

"Then... would you like to hear a story?"

Xianyun looked at Klee and asked tentatively.

"Yay, yay! Klee likes listening to stories."

Klee immediately brightened, raising both hands high as she spoke.

"All right, then I'll tell you a story about Ganyu when she was little."

"When Ganyu was little, she followed me up the mountain..."

Xianyun did not like liveliness. She was a cool and aloof immortal, though she did somewhat enjoy telling stories to people.

Occasionally, she would sit with someone and chat, or go somewhere crowded to join in the bustle.

But overall, Xianyun was still a cold and aloof immortal.
