Chapter 589 Hiiro lying in bed
That slight tremor, like the fluttering of a butterfly's wings, stirred up ripples that were hard to calm in Tao Yao's heart.
Fei Ying slowly opened her eyelids, initially with a confused and out-of-focus look, before her clear and cool eyes gradually focused, clearly reflecting the sweet face with concern in front of her.
It is Peach Blossom.
The moment this thought crossed my mind, an immense sense of peace washed over me.
Immediately afterwards, the brutal battle before he fell into a coma, and those fragmented memories, flooded back into his mind like a tidal wave.
She tensed up abruptly, instinctively trying to sit up.
"Peach Blossom..."
She had barely opened her mouth when a tearing pain shot through every part of her body, causing her to groan involuntarily.
A soft, warm hand gently pressed down on her shoulder, with an irresistible force, pulling her back onto the soft bed.
"Don't move."
Tao Yao's voice was very soft, with a hint of reproach.
"Your injury hasn't fully healed yet, so just lie down and rest."
That familiar, sweet scent lingered around her nose, causing Fei Ying's tense nerves to relax unconsciously.
She obediently gave up the idea of getting up and lay back down, but her cold eyes remained fixed on Tao Yao.
After a moment, her somewhat hoarse voice rang out again.
"Tao Yao, how did I get back?"
"It was Xiao Lingyue and the others who brought you back."
As Tao Yao spoke, she considerately tucked the blanket around her, her movements as gentle as if she were handling a rare treasure.
"They were all terribly worried."
Tao Yao's explanation caused Fei Ying to fall into a brief silence.
She remembered that she had done everything in her power to create an opportunity for Ling Yue and the others to escape, and it seemed that they had finally succeeded.
"Scarlet Cherry Blossom,"
Tao Yao looked at her, her clear eyes revealing a perfectly balanced mix of confusion and worry.
"What happened? How did you get so badly injured?"
This question brought Sakura's thoughts back to the city ruins shrouded in flames and lightning.
She organized her thoughts and then, in a calm, almost cold tone, recounted the events in detail.
"I led a team to search for supplies in the ruins to the south."
"On the way back, we encountered one of the two evil spirits from before, the one that manipulates flames."
"Perhaps she felt embarrassed after I defeated her last time, so she attacked me as soon as we met."
Hiyori's narration was very bland, without any emotional fluctuations.
"Just like last time, she has immense power blessed by the heavens, but her fighting skills are ridiculously crude. Originally, if it were just her alone, even if I couldn't win, I could still manage to escape unscathed with everyone."
"But her companion, the fairy who wields lightning, seems to have seen through this."
"So, she made her move too."
At this point, Fei Ying paused, a hint of solemn recollection flashing in her clear, cold eyes.
"Fighting two against one, and having to protect Ling Yue and the others, it was very difficult for me. Although I managed to get them to a temporarily safe location through maneuvering, I was ultimately no match for those two guys."
"And then, at that time..."
A hint of confusion appeared on Hiyori's face.
"I suddenly felt a surge of power within my body. A... scorching and violent power. I guessed that must be the legendary 'awakening'."
"I awakened that extraordinary power."
"From that moment on, the battle changed. Those two fairies could no longer overpower me."
"In the end, it seems I won."
"However..." she recalled with some difficulty, "my memory ends there, and I don't remember anything after that."
A long silence fell over the room.
Tao Yao listened quietly to Fei Ying's story, the gentle curve of her face remaining unchanged, but her heart was already churning with turmoil.
Is this the former Scarlet Cherry Blossom...?
With the body of a mere mortal, he managed to hold off the combined attack of two fairies while protecting his companions. Even when on the verge of death, he forcibly broke through the shackles of his race with his indomitable will and awakened his power.
Ultimately, it ended in a Pyrrhic victory.
What a glorious achievement!
In her heart, Tao Yao secretly compared the "big scarlet cherry blossom" before her with the "little scarlet cherry blossom" she would pamper in the greenhouse in the future.
As expected of her.
Regardless of which timeline, Hiyori is so outstanding that she is captivating.
After that brief silence, Tao Yao's smile became even brighter.
"Our Hizakura is the best."
She reached out and gently stroked the sweat-dampened strands of hair on Fei Ying's forehead, her voice full of doting affection.
"However, your injury is indeed quite serious this time. Don't think about anything right now; you need to focus on recovering."
"I will take good care of you, Hiyori, while your injuries are fully healed."
These words have a reassuring, magical power.
But after hearing this, Fei Ying slightly furrowed her beautiful brows.
"Actually, I feel that I am in pretty good condition."
As she spoke, she ignored Tao Yao's advice and tried again to sit up in bed.
The power that remained in her body after awakening gave her an unprecedentedly powerful illusion, as if she had inexhaustible energy.
“Tao Yao, look, I can even use the techniques you taught me to give you a couple of punches.”
She spoke half seriously and half jokingly, her arms bracing against the edge of the bed exerting a slight force.
However, the moment she raised her arm, her movement suddenly froze.
Her gaze was fixed intently on her right hand.
That's not her hand.
Because Tao Yao directly used primordial power to treat her, stabilizing her internal injuries and life, there were no bandages on her body.
At this moment, she could clearly see what the skin on her arms and even the back of her hands looked like.
It was a claw scorched by fire, covered with charred and dark red scars.
The once fair and delicate skin has long since disappeared, replaced by an ugly appearance of wrinkles, cracks, and loss of texture.
A chill suddenly ran through her heart.
Only then did she belatedly realize that the final battle she fought with the fire fairy had ended in a sea of fire.
Although I have a vague recollection of it, she did win.
But her outcome didn't seem to be much better.
The air seemed to freeze at that moment.
Hiyori remained silent, slowly checking her other hand, and then her body.
Finally, her hand, covered in hideous scars, trembled as she slowly raised it and touched her cheek.
The uneven, rough texture, like sandpaper, struck her like a thunderbolt.
A long silence.
Dead silence.
She looked up, staring blankly at Tao Yao, at that flawless face that still carried a faint smile.
In those eyes, which were always clear and filled with tenderness, she saw a reflection.
one……
A monster, its face completely disfigured and grotesque.
The next second, Hiyori suddenly yanked the blanket up high and covered herself up completely.
Don't look at me!
A muffled, choked scream, filled with suppressed pain and despair, escaped from under the covers.
