LRAB Chapter 508 The Wisdom of the Scarlet Cherry?
Chapter 508 The Wisdom of the Scarlet Cherry?
Time loses its meaning in this gloomy, spiritual realm.
Hiyori knelt in the icy pool, letting the biting cold seep into her body.
Her mind was in a mess.
Defeat the end and reclaim Peach Blossom.
The Eternal Fairy's casual remark stirred up a tidal wave in her heart.
But can she really trust this unfathomable fairy in front of her?
more importantly……
If Tao Yao, whom I have been pursuing all along, is really the culprit who killed Bai Ying, then how should I face myself?
That older sister who always smiled gently at me, and occasionally played a trick on me...
Tao Yao, who gave me warmth and direction when I was most helpless...
Could it be the enemy who killed "himself"?
The moment this thought popped into her head, it felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly, causing her unbearable pain.
She couldn't accept it.
I don't even dare to think about it.
Seeing Fei Ying's dejected and self-doubting state, a barely perceptible hint of satisfaction finally appeared on the languid face of Heng Yong on the flower bed in the distance.
well.
That's how it should be.
Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will quickly take root, sprout, and grow into a towering tree.
She decided to add fuel to the fire.
A lazy yet crystal-clear voice echoed once again in the deathly silent space.
"Nothing is impossible."
"That's what it is."
“Even the so-called white cherry blossoms in your eyes are part of the original source.”
These words were more devastating than any of the previous ones.
It was like an invisible hammer that slammed into Sakura's understanding, shattering the worldview she had painstakingly built.
Before she could even recover from the terrifying assumption that "Tao Yao is the murderer," Fei Ying's brain went blank once again.
She suddenly raised her head, her crimson eyes filled with confusion and astonishment.
"and many more……"
"What does this mean?"
"What do you mean... that Bai Ying is part of the original?"
Her questions were broken and filled with disbelief.
The Eternal Fairy's response carried a clear hint of mockery and impatience.
"Does the Flame Flower have such a big impact on you?"
"So stupid that you can't even understand such simple and easy-to-understand words?"
She sat up from the flower bed, barefoot, and walked step by step across the water, looking down at the disheveled Fei Ying.
"What I mean is that the white cherry blossom you perceive is itself a part of the original."
"The fall of someone who is of utmost importance to you..."
"From beginning to end, it was the original thing itself, a play that you directed and acted out yourself."
"It's just a play meant to make you grow, make you stronger, and make you more inseparable from her..."
Every word of Yong-Heng was like a red-hot steel needle, precisely piercing into the depths of Fei Ying's soul.
Directed and acted by himself...
A play...
Hiyori was completely dazed.
She knelt blankly in the water, her mind a jumble of chaotic fragments, which seemed to be forcibly pieced together by an invisible force at that moment.
In a flash.
All the doubts in her heart seemed to have been answered.
No wonder...
No wonder Bai Ying always seems to resemble Tao Yao...
No wonder their smiles, their habits, and even the occasional hints of mischief they show are so similar...
No wonder I developed such a strong obsession with Tao Yao after losing Bai Ying, as if I were chasing a lost dream.
in case……
If they were originally the same person.
Then everything makes sense...
Seeing the way Hizakura looked like she'd been struck by lightning, her beliefs completely shattered, the Eternal Fairy's smile became even more pronounced.
She slowly crouched down so that she could look the poor little imp in the eye.
"so……"
"The original has actually been deceiving you and toying with your feelings all along."
"After learning this cruel truth, would you still be willing to pursue her?"
Eternity waits quietly for the cherry blossom's response.
This problem is the ultimate weapon.
For her, no matter how Hiyori answers, she won't lose out.
If this little imp completely gives up pursuing the origin, then although it loses a piece that can be used to deal with the end, it is not without its benefits.
At least, one less person is remembering the original source.
Later, she could even use this incident to stir up trouble at the original source, telling her that the little vixen had completely lost her affections and that she should stop thinking about her.
Although doing so might cause her to lose a pawn willing to help her fight the end.
But it's okay.
As long as we can divert the original attention from this little imp and bring it back to ourselves.
Then it was all worth it.
Looking at the red-haired fairy before him, whose body was trembling slightly and who was clearly in great pain and struggle, Eternal had already made a prediction in his mind.
To be so cruelly deceived and manipulated.
No one can accept it.
Hatred is the only outcome.
Just when she thought her provocation was about to succeed.
Hiyori spoke up.
Her body was still trembling, but not from pain or anger.
It was not so much excitement as it was an indescribable feeling.
"so……"
Fei Ying slowly raised her head. In her crimson eyes, there was no hatred or resentment, but instead, a bright light that she had never seen before shone.
"Tao Yao didn't lie to me."
"She has always...always been by my side..."
The smile on Yongheng's face froze.
She looked at Hiyori, who now seemed to have suddenly realized something, as if she had figured out some incredible problem, and was even starting to feel self-satisfied.
That look was like a fan who had been desperately following their idol for years, only to suddenly discover that their deceased relative was actually the idol in disguise.
Sad?
No.
Double the happiness!
For a moment, the Eternal Fairy's mind went completely blank.
She couldn't understand the other person's thoughts at all.
How did this brain circuit come about?
Being deceived and manipulated, shouldn't that be painful?
Why did she look so delighted, as if she had found a treasure?
Having lived for countless ages, Eternity began to have profound doubts about his own judgment for the first time.
She realized that the little one in front of her had probably been completely brainwashed by that original evil woman, from soul to mind, into her shape.
Did they want to sow discord and make her resent Yuan Chu?
That seems practically impossible.
Realizing this, the frustration that had arisen in Yongheng's heart due to the disruption of his plans subsided.
Forget it.
Since the attempt to sow discord has failed, let's revert to the original plan.
As long as I can get her on my chariot to fight the end, the process doesn't matter.
Having figured this out, Yongheng stopped pretending and her expression returned to its signature languid and indifferent tone, as if her momentary loss of composure had never happened.
She waded across the water and returned to her flower bed, where she lay down again in the most comfortable position.
"So, you should understand now, right?"
Eternal, languid voice rang out again, echoing in the vast spiritual realm.
"I cannot return Bai Ying to you."
"Because the Bai Ying in your heart has never truly left from beginning to end."
These words served as a reasonably dignified conclusion to the failed attempt to sow discord.
Then, she changed the subject.
"Now that we've said all that, I think you should be able to accept me, right?"
These words, spoken with a touch of self-righteousness, finally pulled Hiyori back to reality from her overwhelming joy and self-pity over the "double happiness."
She slowly raised her head, and the light that had been shining in her crimson eyes as she realized the key to her understanding gradually settled and cooled.
The chaotic and complex emotions were forcibly suppressed.
Fei Ying's expression as she looked at the languid woman on the flower bed in the distance gradually became serious and sharp.
You're lying to me, aren't you?
This sudden question caused Yongheng, who had just lain down, to pause slightly once again.
She turned her head slightly, looking at the little vixen with some surprise.
its not right.
This is different from what I imagined.
Wasn't she just acting like a hopeless case of being hopelessly in love? How did she suddenly become so shrewd?
Are you not so easily fooled anymore?
"Oh?"
Eternity uttered a single, intriguing syllable, propping herself up slightly, as if for the first time truly gazing at the little fellow.
What makes you think I'm lying to you?
Faced with the eternal question, Hiiro did not answer immediately.
She simply knelt in the icy pool, head tilted back, her pure crimson eyes fixed intently on Eternity.
It was a pure, unvarnished scrutiny.
Yongheng was getting a little impatient with her gaze, but he didn't urge her on.
She wanted to see what kind of nonsense this quirky little devil could come up with.
Finally, Hiyori spoke.
"If I wanted to lie to you, I wouldn't have told you this original secret."
But before she could speak, Hiyori gave her response.
"Okay, then I believe you."
eternal:"……"
Eternity fell silent once again.
At this point, Eternal Thoughts could no longer keep up.
She felt that her understanding was being repeatedly overturned.
Is this little devil clever or foolish?
Just when Eternal was completely baffled, Sakura's next words finally solved the mystery for her.
“You didn’t lie to me about ‘Tao Yao is Bai Ying’.”
Hiyori's gaze suddenly sharpened.
"But you lied to me about something else."
"You don't want to help me at all; you just want to use me, don't you?"
"You told me this secret not out of kindness, but simply to make me believe you, to make me willingly become your pawn in the end!"
"right?"
Hearing what Hiyori said...
This time, it was Eternal's turn to be slightly stunned.
She looked at the red-haired fairy in front of her, who had an expression that said, "I've seen through everything."
For a moment, I didn't know how to react.
This little guy...
She actually...
Have you figured everything out?
She did not hate the original for being deceived; on the contrary, she accurately discerned her deepest motives.
This……
how can that be!
It must be that one's own eternal authority restricted the other's Flame Flower.
Otherwise, this could never be the wisdom that a Flame Fairy should possess!
Meanwhile, on the other side, after seeing Eternal's unusually surprised expression, the last trace of uncertainty in Hizakura's heart completely disappeared.
She knew she had guessed correctly.
For a moment, an indescribable sense of intellectual superiority welled up in Fei Ying's heart.
Humph.
Do you really think I, Hiyori, am so easily fooled?
Although I'm not well-educated, I'm not stupid!
After figuring everything out, Hiyori stood up from the cold pool.
She looked at Eternal, who was still in shock, and spoke in a tone that was somewhat smug, as if she were bestowing a favor.
"However, since you've told me such an important secret..."
"I accept your proposal."
"Pleasant to work with."
These words finally brought Eternity back to its senses from the immense shock.
Looking at the little devil in front of her who was questioning her one second and then readily agreeing to cooperate the next, she felt like her processor was about to burn out.
This shift in thought process is a bit too fast!
You were fooled so easily?
Yongheng felt that his understanding of the logic of intelligent beings' behavior, which he had built up over the years, had been completely shattered today.
However, as one of the oldest fairies, she quickly adjusted her state.
No matter how bizarre the process, as long as the result is good, that's all that matters.
She lay back down, resuming her languid posture, as if everything was under her control.
"This is a very correct choice."
Her voice was steady, without any discernible emotional fluctuation.
"Since you say you want to help me," Fei Ying stepped out of the water and walked to the flower bed, looking at her and asking, "So how do you plan to help?"
Finally got to the point.
A knowing smile curved at the corners of his lips.
"It's very simple."
She spoke lazily.
"I can provide you with unique training methods to improve your control over the Flame Flower."
This was the explanation she had prepared long ago.
She intends to use "training" to keep this little fairy firmly under her control within her spiritual realm until she has enough strength to fight against the end.
however.
As soon as she finished speaking, she was met with a disdainful look from Fei Ying.
"That's not what I need."
Hiyori's answer was simple and blunt.
"My control over the fairy power is now quite good."
"What I lack is a way to break free from the demise of tragedy."
She paused, then looked at Yongheng with an expression as if he were an idiot, and spoke with righteous indignation.
"Besides, you said you'd help me deal with the End, shouldn't you be the one joining me to gang up on her?"
eternal:"?"
She suspected there was something wrong with her ears.
A group beating?
This little devil actually used the word "gang up" to describe dealing with the end?
Doesn't she know how terrifying the end times are?
Yongheng opened his mouth, about to correct her naive and ridiculous idea.
Hiyori, however, gave her no chance at all and continued to explain her plan using her simple and crude logic.
"Look, you're so good, but I'm pretty good at fighting too."
She pointed to eternity, then to herself.
"The two of us combined are definitely stronger than the final one alone, right?"
"Let's rush over there now, find her, and beat her up!"
"Isn't that enough? What's the point of training? It's a waste of time!"
