Long, long ago in a place unknown, there existed a fairy tale kingdom filled with mysterious colors. It was a world of candies where people lived amidst the sweet confections. Everything in this world was made of candy - candy streets, candy lampposts, candy houses, and even a candy palace. In this candy world, everything was wonderfully delightful; the trees were sweet, the water tasted sweet, and the air was filled with a fragrant sweetness. The people called this legendary world: QQ Candy Castle.
It was said that the residents of the Candy Castle had been making sugar for generations, and those who could produce the sweetest, most interesting, and cutest candies would receive the highest honor in the kingdom. Skilled sugar-makers were respected wherever they went. [2]
Among the countless types of candies in the Candy Kingdom, QQ candies were considered the ultimate delicacy, akin to diamonds in the candy world. The entire body of a QQ candy was spherical, containing a rotating, sticky syrup inside. The surface was crafted from natural materials with excellent elasticity and resilience. Thus, fine QQ candies maintained their spherical shape while periodically changing their local form due to the moving syrup inside, resembling a diamond ball filled with clear water. The surface of this diamond ball constantly undulated, refracting light from outside and emitting a dazzling array of colorful halos, mesmerizing all who beheld it. The magical beauty of QQ candies alone was enough to leave anyone in awe.
In truth, the magic of QQ candies extended beyond their appearance. Although they looked beautiful, they were highly unstable and dangerous. Due to the use of many unstable substances in their creation, QQ candies could explode violently under certain external stimuli. Those who couldn't control them properly would be unable to approach these sugar spheres.
The skilled sugar-makers of the Candy Castle were not only adept at making and tasting various candies but also knew how to skillfully use QQ candies in battle when faced with danger or competition. Within a certain range, opponents could be covered by the sticky syrup ejected from an exploding QQ candy, forming an isolated sugar bubble. The air inside the bubble was thin, and if no one broke the bubble from the outside within a certain time to rescue the trapped person, the individual inside would be unable to escape on their own. They would become more constrained the more they struggled, eventually losing consciousness due to suffocation and losing their ability to move.
This unstable nature of QQ candies gave this beautiful object a dangerous edge. Many people in the Candy Castle had experienced being stuck due to improper use. Competing by attacking each other with QQ candies had become a traditional game in the Candy Castle. Fortunately, the Candy Kingdom always prohibited fatal candy incidents, so no one was allowed to use QQ candies privately. Experts in handling QQ candies could only use them in the arena for competitions. Regardless of the level of combat, victory was determined by trapping and suffocating the opponent with a sugar bubble. Thus, people never had to worry about life-threatening dangers during QQ candy battles. This traditional event had a history of hundreds of years in the Candy Kingdom.
Even in the seemingly joyous and peaceful world of QQ candies, there was once an epic battle between good and evil as mentioned in many fairy tales when the Candy Kingdom entered its prosperous era. The elder Sulan referred to this battle as the "Sealing Demon Holy War." Today, the QQ Candy Kingdom has enjoyed peace for many years, and the innocent children often pestered the loving elder to tell them stories of the Holy War. [2]
Long ago, a young sugar-maker named Blanc worked hard to create the first-ever QQ candy. At a candy competition, the magical beauty and unique characteristics of QQ candies amazed all spectators. Whether in battle, hunting, or daily life, QQ candies could help people achieve twice the results with half the effort. From then on, all residents of the kingdom began to make and use this candy, and QQ candies became a symbol of the kingdom. Blanc, because of this great contribution, was ennobled as a baron by the king and received respect from the people.
Blanc, the genius sugar-maker, invented more techniques for creating top-tier candies after inventing QQ candies. To thank the king and the people for their respect, Blanc decided to create a QQ candy with the strongest magic as a national treasure to present to the king on the 1000th anniversary of the founding of the Candy Kingdom. Thus, Blanc and countless other skilled sugar-makers spent 999 days working tirelessly to create a concentrated and extremely exquisite QQ candy. Delighted by this achievement, the king commanded all subjects and visiting wizards to pray for the QQ candy together on the second day after its completion, which was the 1001st day of its brewing, infusing it with the purest blessings of the people. On this day, the national treasure was named "Fantastic QQ Candy." Because it had received the blessings of the entire Candy Kingdom, the Fantastic QQ Candy possessed the magical ability to fulfill personal desires. However, due to this power, countless greedy individuals sought to seize the Fantastic QQ Candy by any means necessary. To ensure the absolute safety of the national treasure, the king ordered Blanc to secretly send the Fantastic QQ Candy to an obscure island where a treasury was built to store it, thus cutting off people's greed and desires for it.
Although many people abandoned their hopes of obtaining it, the Dark Wizard Adden, hidden beneath the candy ground, never ceased his plots to steal the QQ candies. Adden used devilish temptations to drive the greedy royal nobles mad, falsely accusing Blanc, the creator of QQ candies, of swapping fake QQ candies during the transfer of the national treasure. The demon lord planned to force Blanc to reveal the hiding place of the treasure under duress to prove his innocence, and the demon army stood ready to seize it upon its return. However, despite being cursed and despised by the people, Blanc, like a true hero, steadfastly kept the secret of the nation. One day, bearing the humiliation of misunderstanding and hatred for the greedy nobles, Blanc resolutely chose to leave. Thereafter, he disappeared into the vast, blue sea, leaving no trace behind. Losing his last hope, the demon lord Adden finally could no longer suppress his evil nature. Under his command, countless demons began invading the QQ Candy Kingdom, marking the start of the legendary "Sealing Demon Holy War" where the kind-hearted people took up their exclusive weapon - QQ candies - to defend their home.
To this day, as people enjoy their sweet lives in the Candy Kingdom, the Fantastic QQ Candy remains the focal point of conversation over meals. After enduring the difficult "Sealing Demon Holy War" and using QQ candies to defeat the demons, the legend of the Fantastic QQ Candy became even more mysterious. Children in the Candy Kingdom grew up immersed in the stories of the Fantastic QQ Candy. Although they did not know where this divine artifact was now, the innocent children often fantasized about finding it one day to fulfill their greatest dreams. [3]
On the continent of Coolbi, there was a magical seed that bore fruit every six months in the soil. The fruits contained energy, and people often extracted the golden yellow sugary components for use in daily life. The young leader of Flower World, Kailin, once said: "There are two kinds of air in this world, one of which is energy seeds." At the time, everyone in the Flower World deeply understood the importance of energy seeds, but few noticed the flow of life within the seeds.
The emergence of energy seeds injected infinite power into people's lives. People extensively planted energy seeds to accelerate evolution, and the widespread Coolbi flowers brought a new name to that era - "Flower World." In the Flower World, plants became the source of social prosperity, and people's love for plants permeated every field.
The wicked son of darkness, Adden, discovered a plant that could bring new energy sources, but the energy from Black Wilt Grass came at the cost of consuming energy seeds from the soil. Initially, people in the Flower World were greatly interested in this new plant, but as large-scale cultivation expanded, they found that Black Wilt Grass gradually replaced Coolbi flowers, and the energy components in the Black Wilt Grass were highly unstable. Thus, the originally colorful world gradually turned black, and a plant struggle quietly spread.
At this critical moment, Coolbi saved the people of the Flower World. Coolbi was a creature full of spirit. It was cute in appearance but also possessed a special sense of perception. From a considerable distance, it could detect the direction of energy seeds. Moreover, Coolbi had a natural defense against energy consumption actions. When Black Wilt Grass spread, Coolbi would eat it. During the peak crisis of the seed, Coolbi became the people's most loyal companion. After the crisis ended, people named the flowers produced by energy seeds "Coolbi Flowers."
After experiencing the previous plant crisis, the people of Milan Flower Capital had significant concerns about the future of their nation. Over-reliance on Gebi seeds was increasingly questioned by more and more people. The parliament proposed establishing a Plant Research Institute, a Mechanical Research Institute, and a Magic Research College. Henceforth, the country would explore energy in these three directions. For the first time, the energy structure of the QQ Tang world fundamentally changed.
As time passed, the original Flower Capital Kingdom gradually split into three sub-kingdoms: the Natural Kingdom, the Magic Kingdom, and the Mechanical Kingdom. When the son of darkness Adden noticed this change, his ambition to destroy the world expanded again. He first noticed the people of the Magic Kingdom's obsession with studying two types of magic forces: Light Magic and Dark Magic. Then, exploiting this potential conflict within the Magic Kingdom, Adden reintroduced his Black Wilt Grass throughout the entire Magic Kingdom and successfully installed his henchman, the dark wizard Quel, as the chief dark mage of the Magic Kingdom. Thus, under the faint fragrance of Black Wilt Grass, the Magic Kingdom began to decay. Our adventure journey begins here.
The Magic Kingdom is located in the northeastern part of the Coolbi Continent. Since the entire continent is filled with a magical atmosphere, every inch of soil carries a pale emerald green hue. After corruption, the kingdom was filled with decaying puppets, wizards, and wooden dolls. They were diverse in characteristics and skilled in different spells. They wouldn't let any stranger stepping onto this land go unnoticed. However, despite being protected by the power of dark magic, they still feared QQ candies made from Coolbi honey. To save the entire Magic Kingdom, the necessary use of sugar bubbles and props is absolutely essential. [3]
MaoMao, with a mischievous grin, loved pranks the most, such as putting caterpillars in girls' backpacks or breaking all the teacher's chalk. But don't think MaoMao is a bad kid; he often helps others, just secretly. He likes being called a "bad kid" because it sounds cool.
Asha usually appears as a well-behaved girl, but in reality, she longs for adventures. Especially the story of the sugar maker Blanc fascinates Asha. She dreams of becoming a great sugar maker one day. With this aspiration, Asha joined the QQ Tang family. Don't underestimate her just because she's new.
The Candy Kingdom consists of many beautiful islands. To the east lies a place called Fruit Island. One sunny summer noon, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck and split a huge rock in the center of Fruit Island into two halves. Experienced Elder Sulan witnessed this and declared that something extraordinary would happen on Fruit Island. Indeed, the residents who rushed to the scene found a small monkey in the cracked rock. This was the Nth generation descendant of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong. Since the stone monkey was quite small, people called him Little Wukong.
A young couple from the Candy Kingdom adopted Little Wukong, and he grew up in the Candy Castle. In the Candy Kingdom, there is a long-standing tradition: when a child can make small QQ candies on their own, they are allowed to adventure throughout the kingdom.
Little Wukong was gentle by nature and grew up playing with the children of the Candy Kingdom. Xia Shrimp was his best friend. Years later, when Xia Shrimp tried to make his first QQ candy, Little Wukong began to feel lost because he realized that his friends around him were growing up day by day, but he remained a small monkey. Elder Sulan once smiled and told him that if one day Little Wukong could grow into a big monkey, he could roam the world like his ancestor, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, and do good deeds. Therefore, growing up quickly and becoming the real Great Sage Equaling Heaven was Little Wukong's biggest dream.
Titan traveled through a mysterious time tunnel from the future back to the present. In the future world, he had a nice name: Titan. Titan was captivated by the quiet, beautiful, and natural ambiance of the Candy Kingdom. Everywhere were lush ancient trees, fields of colorful wildflowers, and butterflies dancing among the leaves. All of this was something Titan had never experienced in the future world. However, in the future human society, under reckless destruction, the harmony of nature was completely shattered. Concrete jungles replaced lush primeval forests, and excessive exploitation of natural resources led to polluted waterways, toxic substances spreading everywhere, and the environment becoming extremely harsh. Humans could only barely survive by relying on themselves and machines, and the beautiful world was completely transformed by humans.
But the legend of the Fantastic QQ Candy continued into the future world. Young Titan learned about the legend that the Fantastic QQ Candy could fulfill dreams and resolutely returned to the present through the time tunnel. He hoped to find the legendary Fantastic QQ Candy during his limited journey, take it to the future, and use its magical power to restore the future world to a paradise for humanity. Perhaps no one in the QQ Candy Kingdom recognized Titan, and even Elder Sulan couldn't guess, but none of this mattered to Titan. Although the weight of the machine made his movements slightly slow, his powerful strength and innate double-launch QQ candies made Titan confident that his journey would not be in vain.
Xiaoxian, living deep in the mountains, was a thoroughly good fox spirit. Xiaoxian liked the way people lived in the QQ Candy Kingdom and always aspired to become a happy member of the Candy Kingdom. However, her identity as a fox spirit prevented her from achieving this dream. To become a true human, Xiaoxian naively believed that accumulating good karma and practicing for a thousand years would grant her wish. Thus, people began noticing that lost children always safely returned home; critically ill elders frequently found miraculous herbs with unknown effects left at their doors; and insomniacs habitually fell asleep to pleasant yet ethereal songs at night...
Throughout the entire kingdom, only Elder Sulan knew of Xiaoxian's efforts, but Xiaoxian still occasionally heard the elder's soft sighs. Finally, Xiaoxian began to realize that no matter how profound her cultivation, she could never transform into an ordinary human. Thus, with a final glimmer of hope, carrying more QQ candies than others with her magic, Xiaoxian joined the quest for the Fantastic QQ Candy. As a kind fox spirit, Xiaoxian's greatest dream was to use the magic of the Fantastic QQ Candy to become a member of the Candy Kingdom—a true, kind human.
Chunli, a girl who grew up practicing Chinese martial arts since childhood, followed her grandfather, Gui Xianren, learning Chinese martial arts. Gui Xianren was a wandering Chinese warrior who, upon drifting to the QQ Candy Kingdom and seeing the peaceful and prosperous scenery, decided to stay in the Candy Kingdom. Chunli, a little girl Gui Xianren adopted during his travels, settled with him in the Candy Castle.
Gui Xianren's name was well-known throughout the Candy Kingdom, especially for his superior Turtle School Qi Gong and unmatched combat skills. However, Gui Xianren had a troubling habit—he was addicted to alcohol. His ever-present gourd seemed to contain an endless supply of aged liquor. During the demonic invasion in the Holy War, the combination of Turtle Wave Qi Gong and QQ candies provided immense assistance to the residents of the Candy Kingdom, naturally making Gui Xianren a beloved hero in the hearts of the people.
Chunli grew up immersed in her grandfather's glorious stories. She loved Chinese martial arts and never gave up, even when facing countless challenges. Under her grandfather's meticulous guidance, Chunli's combat skills rapidly improved. When she made her first small QQ candy, she was already the most formidable female martial artist in the Candy Kingdom. It seemed that fate always liked to test people when things were going smoothly. Suddenly, Gui Xianren, who was often drunk, vanished without a trace. Due to the suddenness of the event, even the elder couldn't explain it. Chunli and everyone else searched almost everywhere in the Candy Kingdom but found nothing. As time passed, Chunli became increasingly worried about her grandfather's safety. In her final moments of despair, Chunli suddenly remembered the ancient legend of the Fantastic QQ Candy. Thus, without hesitation, the little girl embarked on a journey to find the Fantastic QQ Candy, vowing to do whatever it takes to find her beloved grandfather. With the Turtle Wave Qi Gong and Divine Steps taught by her grandfather, Chunli had reached a certain level in speed and QQ candy power, but this was her first long journey.
Many people have heard the fairy tale of Cinderella, and Popoli, an ordinary girl in the Candy Kingdom, was the Cinderella of this fairy-tale land.
Popoli was so ordinary—her plain features, unremarkable voice, lack of bright and delicate dresses, and even her habit of doing things slower than others made her forgettable to any stranger after a single glance. Yet, like all innocent and carefree children, Popoli was particularly fascinated by beautiful fairy tales, especially the story of Cinderella, which left a lasting impression on her. Perhaps because of her own ordinariness, similar to the Cinderella in the story, Popoli often sat by the sea with her hands supporting her head, gazing at the vast and profound ocean, dreaming of one day becoming a beautiful princess. She imagined a magnificent carriage bringing her beloved prince to pick her up, and together they would attend a dreamy ball, receiving countless admiring blessings.
When a cargo ship sailed slowly out of the dock toward distant lands, Popoli set off with a broom said to bring her good luck. She embarked on a journey to find the legendary Sacred Artifact—the Fantastic QQ Candy—for it would make her a true Cinderella.
Since ancient times, the art of ninjutsu has been practiced in secrecy. A shadowy figure known as the Fire Shadow, renowned for his exceptional martial arts and noble character, was appointed by the king as the royal court guard, leading a team of ninja soldiers ready to carry out any task assigned by the king.
Fire Shadow was introverted and spoke little. In his view, a qualified ninja should be thoughtful rather than talkative. With the Holy War having ended a long time ago and life returning to peace and harmony, the duties of the ninja corps became sparse, and the importance of ninjas began to be forgotten by the peaceful people. This saddened Fire Shadow deeply. When no one was willing to practice ninjutsu anymore and the ancient martial art faced the threat of extinction, the usually silent Fire Shadow finally erupted. He could no longer watch his beloved martial art disappear before his eyes.
With the understanding and permission of the king and Elder Sulan, Fire Shadow silently disappeared from the palace. The ninja's unparalleled speed would help him find the location of the Fantastic QQ Candy. No one was faster than him, and no one understood the essence of ninjutsu better. Fire Shadow intended to use ninjutsu to find the national treasure, prove the strength of ninjas, and use the magic of the Fantastic QQ Candy to perpetuate the ninjutsu he mastered within the Candy Kingdom.
Maria was a nun at the Royal Cathedral of the Candy Kingdom. Her most important daily task was to pray for the happiness of all citizens with her pure heart.
Nuns in the Candy Kingdom were respected and revered professions. People firmly believed in the existence and protection of heaven, and nuns were seen as messengers between mortals and heaven. However, rumors about Maria's origins began circulating in the kingdom. People learned that she was the offspring of the demon lord Adden from the Sealing Demon Holy War. Letting the child of a demon become a holy nun was unacceptable to the people who had suffered greatly from the war. People believed that Maria was a curse buried by the demons in the kingdom, ready to summon the remaining evil forces and destroy the beautiful Candy Kingdom again.
Thus, Maria began to be ostracized and criticized by the people. Suffering deeply, she confirmed her identity through Elder Sulan, who also informed her that she harbored no demonic beliefs. Having grown up in the church, she was purified by the faith in heaven. However, rumors and prejudice were terrifying. Kind and simple-hearted people still could not trust the innocence of the demon's offspring. Struggling between right and wrong, to prove her innocence to the people she loved, Maria had to rely on the power of the Fantastic QQ Candy. With the sighs and blessings of the spirits, Maria gained powers beyond ordinary humans, and her loyal, pure heart would always accompany her on her adventurous journey.
Around the vast seas surrounding the QQ Candy Kingdom existed a mysterious pirate fleet. Unlike ordinary pirates, this unnamed fleet never attacked regular cargo ships or fishermen. Whenever greedy noble fleets set sail, it seemed they would always be plundered. Not long after a noble ship was attacked by pirates, some of the lost goods would appear in the hands of kind civilians. Thus, people began to realize that the unnamed fleet was composed of righteous pirates who robbed the rich to help the poor. While greedy nobles worried about setting sail, people prayed for the pirates' safety during storms.
The birth of the captain's only son occurred when the unnamed pirate fleet was rescuing helpless fishing boats in a storm. The baby's cries seemed to possess magical power, dispersing the terrifying storm, and the entire sea suddenly sparkled. When the safe return of the fishermen announced the cry of a baby aboard the pirate ship, people began speculating about the child's origin and
