Chapter 523 The Bad Woman's True Colors Are Exposed, and All the Little Fairies Are Stunned!
Inside the temple, there was a deathly silence.
Time seemed to freeze the moment Tao Yao opened her eyes; the air solidified, making it hard to breathe.
All the girls froze in place, motionless, staring blankly at the figure who had awakened from his slumber and was slowly sitting up.
Every move she made carried an indescribable rhythm and beauty, as if every detail had been meticulously crafted by the gods.
That composure, that elegance, that aloofness and majesty that transcends all things, made the tense atmosphere just moments before seem utterly absurd and laughable.
"Taoyao..."
Finally, Sakura broke the frozen silence.
She scrambled to her feet, dusted off her clothes, and looked up at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure on the throne.
"We...we've been looking for you."
Her questioning, however, seemed somewhat lacking in confidence at this moment, more like a confused murmur.
Why have you been hiding from us?
On the other side of the steps, Hilo also stood up.
She didn't speak, but stared intently at Tao Yao on the throne, her fists clenched so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.
She was waiting, waiting for an explanation, an answer.
Faced with Fei Ying's questioning and Xi Luo's almost fiery gaze, Tao Yao on the throne only showed a faint, gentle smile.
She spoke.
It was an indescribable sound, as if it contained all the beauty in the world, slowly echoing in the empty temple.
"I'm so glad."
"You were able to come here together."
"This precisely demonstrates that you have gone through hardships and obstacles to get to where you are today."
Tao Yao's gaze slowly swept over each girl present, and finally settled back on Fei Ying.
"The threads of our destinies have finally intersected briefly once again at this moment."
"And from this point on, your future will be bright and promising."
These words were ethereal and otherworldly, full of divinity, yet so hollow that no one could grasp any real meaning from them.
It was like a breeze, passing by gently, leaving nothing behind.
The confusion on Fei Ying's face gradually faded.
Instead, a gloomy atmosphere prevailed.
A gloomy, oppressive cloud, like the calm before a storm, enveloped her entire pretty face.
"enough!"
A low growl, suppressing boundless rage, burst forth from Hiyori's throat.
"That's it again!"
"You always say things that are incomprehensible to people!"
She took a sudden step forward, her crimson eyes fixed on Tao Yao on the throne, as if trying to see right through her.
"Tao Yao, I don't care what happened to you! I don't care what your difficulties are that make you so reluctant to stay by our side!"
Her emotions were building in waves, and her chest was heaving violently.
I just want to ask you one question!
"What am I in your eyes? What are we...?"
"You are the doll's love, and you are also Bai Ying!"
Fei Ying almost screamed as she unleashed the secret buried deep in her heart, the secret that had caused her countless nightmares and filled her with confusion and fear, right in front of everyone!
Sometimes, I even wonder, which of my friends isn't you?
"You've used so many titles to be by our side, yet you yourself refuse to interact with us openly and honestly!"
"Why?!"
"Even if you have your troubles and your difficulties, what about us?!"
"Aren't we even worthy of your help?!"
The final question, filled with deep resentment and unwillingness, echoed endlessly in the magnificent temple, making everyone's eardrums buzz.
The amount of information revealed in Hiiro's outburst was truly enormous.
An eerie silence fell over the temple once again.
Hilo remained in that position, except for his tightly clenched fist.
Her gaze remained fixed on Tao Yao, as if she were pondering something, or perhaps she wasn't thinking about anything at all, simply waiting for a final judgment.
Jasmine's reaction was purely unexpected. Her sophisticated brain was processing the information she had just received at lightning speed, trying to connect the seemingly unrelated concepts of "white cherry blossoms" and "peach blossoms."
Of all the things, the most surprising and shocking was the violet.
Her body froze.
"Wait... Hiyori..."
She spoke almost instinctively, looking at the red-haired girl beside her who was trembling with emotion, her expression filled with incomprehensible confusion.
"You just said... Bai Ying is Tao Yao?"
This seemingly casual question stirred up a storm in Violet's heart.
She always felt that way.
The second personality of the Scarlet Cherry Blossom, also known as the White Cherry Blossom.
Although her personality, her style of doing things, and the occasional hint of gentleness and cunning she reveals are indeed very similar to Tao Yao.
But it's only similar.
There is no shortage of people in this world with similar personalities, and even similar ways of thinking.
This cannot be considered conclusive evidence.
but!
Is Bai Ying merely a second personality that Fei Ying developed due to psychological trauma?
Isn't this a fact that everyone agrees on?
How come Bai Ying is Tao Yao now?
This makes absolutely no sense!
How did Hiiro find out?
When did she begin to make this absurd connection?
Countless questions and contradictions swirled and collided wildly in Violet's mind, causing her proud composure and rationality to show signs of crumbling at this moment.
Her state of mind was completely thrown into chaos at that moment.
Tao Yao's faint smile on the throne deepened, carrying a hint of languor and a touch of playfulness.
She parted her lips slightly, and her divine yet melodious voice flowed out once again.
"so what?"
These three simple words were like an invisible hammer, striking hard into everyone's heart.
No explanation.
There was no rebuttal.
There was only one light, dismissive question.
This gesture undoubtedly constitutes an admission.
She admitted to all of Hiyori's accusations.
She admitted that she was both the puppet Qing and Bai Ying.
She admitted that she used different identities and different disguises, like a behind-the-scenes chess player, to manipulate the threads of their destinies.
Then, with a simple "So what?", all their anger, grievances, resentment, and confusion are easily dismissed.
It's as if they're saying, "I've deceived you, I'm just that selfish."
What can you do to me?
This is the ultimate form of arrogance.
A gentle arrogance that originates from absolute power and transcends everything.
The air in the temple seemed to have been sucked out.
Violet's mind was buzzing, and she completely lost the ability to think.
Upon hearing this reply, Hiyori's fiery red eyes, which had been burning with rage, strangely calmed down.
All the emotions, all the screams, seemed to be drained away at this moment.
All that remained was a deep-seated weariness and powerlessness.
She bit her lip so hard it almost drew blood.
for a long time.
She spoke slowly and deliberately, her voice hoarse, trembling slightly, yet remarkably firm.
"Peach Blossom".
"Come with us!"
This statement stunned everyone.
Hiyori didn't question him anymore, nor did she get angry.
She simply raised her head and gazed intently at the figure on the throne with her clear, crimson eyes, now devoid of all flames.
"I don't care what kind of primordial fairy you are, nor do I care what mission you have to bear alone."
"We can discuss what happened together."
"If there are any difficulties, we can face them together."
"Please stop hiding away by yourself, okay?"
Her request was almost a humble plea.
She completely let go of all her pride and stubbornness at this moment.
She just wanted to take her back.
That's it.
These words echoed in the empty temple, striking a chord in the hearts of every girl.
Yes.
No matter what Tao Yao did, no matter how many identities she had.
They traveled thousands of miles and overcame countless dangers to get here, all for the sake of bringing her back.
On the divine throne, Tao Yao's smile seemed to freeze for a moment.
She looked down the steps at the red-haired girl who was stubbornly tilting her head back, her eyes red-rimmed, but she was holding back her tears.
Silence fell once again in the temple.
This silence, however, was no longer one of repression, but rather one filled with a heavy sense of anticipation.
All eyes were focused on Tao Yao, awaiting her final verdict.
I do not know how long it has been.
"Okay."
Two gentle words, tinged with a smile, were softly uttered from Tao Yao's lips.
In that instant, it felt as if fireworks were exploding in the girls' minds.
An overwhelming joy surged forth, instantly drowning out all their unease and hesitation.
Become!
She agreed!
Violet's chaotic thoughts finally found their anchor at this moment. She breathed a long sigh of relief and relaxed completely.
Forget-me-not was so excited that she jumped up on the spot, her face beaming with an incredibly bright smile.
Even Hilo, who had been tense and filled with complex emotions, unconsciously loosened his clenched fists.
The tense lines on Fei Ying's face finally softened, and a bright, relieved smile uncontrollably began to bloom on her face.
however.
Just a second before that smile was about to fully bloom.
Tao Yao's next words were like a bucket of freezing water from the far north, poured over everyone's heads, freezing their smiles on their faces.
"but."
Tao Yao leaned forward slightly, supporting her knees with her elbows and resting her perfect chin on the back of her hand, adding with great interest, as if watching an interesting drama.
"I am a primordial fairy."
"You can't take me away with just words."
Her gaze swept over every girl present, and in her gentle smile, there was an unmistakable hint of the mischievousness and playfulness of a "bad woman."
"We must use the most primitive, yet most effective, method."
"Knock me out, then carry me back."
The words fell.
Tao Yao slowly rose from that magnificent divine throne.
As she stood up, an indescribable, terrifying pressure, seemingly above the entire world, suddenly descended!
That wasn't just power, but an absolute suppression based on status!
The temple trembled, and space itself seemed to groan.
The girls below the steps felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on their souls, making it incredibly difficult for them to even breathe.
Tao Yao stood there quietly, her magnificent palace dress fluttering without any wind.
She opened her arms as if embracing the whole world.
She looked down the steps at the group of girls who had been completely stunned by her words, their faces pale, and her smiles grew even brighter.
"Everyone."
"Since they've all come for me."
"Then let's all come at once."
