LRAB Chapter 531 Peach Blossom's Love
Chapter 531 Peach Blossom's Love
The room was very quiet.
The soft lighting and warm peach blossom scent should have made people feel incredibly safe and comfortable.
But at this moment, this warm atmosphere is shrouded in an invisible, heavy, and oppressive atmosphere.
All eyes were focused on the two figures.
Looking at the little maid in front of her, who was stubbornly raising her head and whose eyes were filled with incomprehension and grievance, Tao Yao felt that the weariness and worry caused by eternity in her heart seemed to deepen even more.
She was silent for a long time.
After a while, even Sakura started to feel a little uncomfortable and wanted to say something to break the deathly silence.
Just then, Tao Yao finally spoke.
Those gentle words, tinged with a barely perceptible sigh, clearly reached the ears of every girl present.
"I love you, Shiloh."
boom!
Like a thunderclap, it exploded in Shiro's mind.
She froze on the spot, her eyes widening in an instant.
like……
What did she just say?
she says……
Does she love me?
This thought echoed wildly in Shiloh's mind, washing away all her thoughts, grievances, and resentment in that instant.
A tremendous, unbelievable surprise, like a landslide and a tsunami, swept over her entire soul.
She even forgot to breathe.
The world seemed to lose all sound and color at that moment, leaving only that beautiful face with a gentle smile before my eyes.
original……
She loves me too.
It turns out that none of this was just wishful thinking on my part.
The humility and uncertainty that had been buried deep in her heart for so long, almost crushing her, vanished at this moment.
An endless sense of joy and happiness transformed into a warm current, surging from the heart and instantly flowing through every part of the body.
Hilo felt lightheaded, as if she were melting into this sudden happiness.
She even subconsciously wanted to put on a happy smile.
however.
The smile on her face froze completely before it could even bloom.
Because Tao Yao's next words were like a bucket of ice water, tempered with millennia-old frost, poured down on her head.
"but."
Tao Yao's smile remained gentle, but her words carried a sense of self-righteous cruelty.
"I can't love only you."
"..."
The surprise, confusion, and nascent happiness on Hilo's face shattered completely at that moment.
She stared blankly at Tao Yao, as if she couldn't understand the meaning of those words at all.
why?
Why is this happening?
"I...I don't understand..."
She spoke dryly, the courage she had finally mustered shattered in that instant, leaving only the most primal, disheveled confusion.
"Why……"
Tao Yao looked at her tearful appearance and sighed softly again.
She reached out, wanting to rub the little guy's head as she used to, but stopped halfway through.
In the end, they simply took it back.
“Hiro, you must understand that as the Primal, I cannot bestow all my favors upon any single individual.”
"I need to consider the needs of more fairies."
Tao Yao's gaze unconsciously drifted to the still unconscious figure on the bed.
“If I do nothing, I will only allow the end to bring destruction and eternity to bring chaos. Such a future would not be a good thing for any fairy, including you.”
These words are clear, logical, and reasonable.
But this only made Shiloh's heart sink even faster.
"But...I don't care about any of that..."
Almost instinctively, she spoke her mind.
Whether it's the end or eternity.
The destruction of the world, or the disorder of its laws.
She had never cared about these grand and distant matters, nor did she want to.
All she ever wanted was that figure of a back that she could follow behind with peace of mind.
That's it.
Tao Yao didn't seem surprised at all by this answer.
She felt a little helpless and a little heartbroken.
"I hope you care."
For the first time, her voice carried a hint of pleading.
"I also hope that you won't only have eyes for me."
"You should be like Hizakura, go see a wider world, make more friends, and have a more wonderful life of your own."
The words fell.
Hiyori, standing to the side, was completely stunned.
what?
How did the conversation suddenly turn to me?
She blinked, somewhat speechless, causing the tuft of hair on her head to sway.
What does it mean to be like me?
Although he did have a few more friends than Shiloh, that quiet, reserved guy...
But in my heart, the most important and the one I care about the most is still you, Tao Yao!
The way you're talking makes it sound like I'm very sentimental!
Hiyori mentally ranted, but her face turned pale and then flushed, showing her frustration.
However, Tao Yao's "advice" clearly had no effect on Xi Luo at this moment.
On the contrary, it fueled her stubbornness even more.
"I do not care!"
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes once again filled with an unyielding stubbornness.
“I have friends too! But they are different from you, Tao Yao!”
"I just want to stay by your side! Just like before! I don't care about anything else!"
Seeing that the little maid was completely unresponsive, Tao Yao finally had no choice but to give up.
She held her forehead and let out a weary sigh.
It's so nerve-wracking.
Why are they all so stubborn?
"Shiloh, I can't make any promises to you."
She spoke, sounding somewhat weary.
"I can't guarantee that you'll stay by my side."
"After all, you've seen it yourself."
She pointed to Eternity on the bed, "The End and Eternity have fought to this extent, and nobody knows what other troublesome things might happen next."
Hearing this, Shiloh's heart sank once again.
really……
Are you still trying to get rid of me?
However, Tao Yao's next words made her heart, which had sunk to the bottom, suddenly rise again.
"but……"
Tao Yao looked at her, and also at the girls behind her who were equally nervous and worried.
"If we just stay in this temple, in the divine kingdom..."
"I will not drive you away again."
The words fell.
The entire room fell into a deathly silence.
Hilo could hardly believe his ears.
she……
What did she just say?
Are you not kicking us out?
This means...
"I...we can stay?"
Hilo's voice trembled with a hint of uncertainty, and hope rekindled in his eyes.
"Can I stay...with you now?"
Seeing her cautious demeanor, Tao Yao finally softened.
She nodded, but then immediately added something else.
"temporary!"
"Because none of us can be sure that in the future, which we do not know, there will be changes that we cannot bear."
"It's ok!"
Without thinking, Shiloh blurted out the answer, a radiant smile spreading across her face.
"Just being able to stay by your side is enough!"
"And I will not allow that kind of future to happen! Absolutely not!"
She nodded vigorously, as if making a most sacred vow.
Seeing her regain her vitality, Tao Yao smiled helplessly and didn't say anything more.
She turned around and looked at the violets and forget-me-nots.
"Alright, you can do the same."
"I know you must have a lot of questions on your minds too."
Tao Yao's voice regained some composure.
"Come one by one."
"Ask anything you want to know now. I need to focus on treating Xiao Heng's injuries later."
Her words were like a reassuring pill, temporarily putting all the girls' anxieties to rest.
You can stay.
Moreover, she was willing to answer their questions.
This is a good beginning.
Almost the instant Tao Yao finished speaking.
A figure eagerly stepped out from the crowd.
It's violet.
She walked quickly to Tao Yao, her beautiful purple eyes fixed on Tao Yao's face, as if trying to find some familiar trace.
Her breathing was rapid, and her chest was heaving violently.
"Bai Ying..."
“Hiyō just said… Shirō is you…”
Violet's voice trembled slightly with excitement, and the anger and grievance of being deceived almost overflowed from her eyes.
"is this real?"
Why did you lie to me?!
