Transformed into a pink fairy, I will make all the players cry with my sword

The moment the words left her lips, Hiyori wished she could bite off her own tongue.

What nonsense is she spouting?

help?

How to help?

They've only known each other for less than a day!

Hiyori's heart pounded wildly in her chest, and her face burned with embarrassment.

She didn't even dare to look at Tao Yao's reaction, she just stood there stiffly, her mind a complete mess.

Don't agree to it.

Please, please don't agree!

She desperately hoped that the pink-haired girl in front of her would reject her decisively, just like before.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't know how to handle the situation.

However, it is counterproductive.

The expected rejection did not occur.

A sweet, gentle voice, tinged with a faint smile, rang out clearly in the quiet shop.

"Okay."

Tao Yao tilted her head, her clear eyes still bright in the dim light. She looked at the helpless Fei Ying and nodded readily.

"Then I'll have to trouble Hiyori."

boom--

Hiyori felt as if something had exploded inside her head.

she……

She actually agreed?

How could she agree so naturally? So matter-of-factly?

Now it was Hizakura's turn to freeze completely.

What you say is like water spilled; you can't take it back.

Now that Tao Yao has agreed, does that mean she really wants to...?

The moment that thought popped into her head, Hiyori's cheeks burned so hot they could practically fry an egg.

After a brief silence and a struggle between heaven and man.

Hiyori gritted her teeth.

She forced down her panic and put on a calm and nonchalant demeanor, not daring to look at Tao Yao again.

"You...you wait."

She stammered out these words and then quickly walked out of the shop.

Preparing hot water is not complicated.

Fei Ying deftly unloaded the gas stove and several clean metal kettles from the SUV, then ran to the roof of the building to the south and filled several kettles with clean water.

The cold night wind blowing on her face finally cooled down her burning cheeks.

As she boiled the water, she cursed herself in her mind countless times.

Let you talk fast!

Serves you right for being nosy!

Once the water boiled, Fei Ying carried a basin of perfectly heated water back to the clothing store, steeling herself.

Tao Yao was sitting quietly on the table covered with a waterproof cloth, her two long, straight legs swinging gently. When she saw her come in, she gave her a sweet smile.

Hiyori's heart skipped a beat again, much to her dismay.

She placed the basin on the ground, then squatted down and spoke somewhat stiffly.

"Sit down."

After saying that, she reached out to help Tao Yao take off her boots, which were covered in dust.

However, the moment her fingertips touched Tao Yao's ankle, she was jolted by the bone-chilling cold.

It's really cold.

Fei Ying looked up and saw that Tao Yao still had that smiling look on her face. The awkwardness and unease in her heart were unconsciously replaced by worry.

Without further hesitation, she gently helped Tao Yao take off her boots and socks.

A pair of jade feet, so perfect they seemed unreal, appeared before her eyes.

The skin on her feet was so white it was almost transparent, and her feet were delicate and beautiful, with each toe round and cute, and a faint pink tinge.

However, this beauty is tinged with a sickly coldness.

Sakura carefully lifted the feet and gently immersed them in the warm water.

"Well……"

Tao Yao let out a soft, comfortable hum.

Warmth emanated from the soles of her feet, flowing along her meridians and gradually dispelling the chill that originated from the very source of her being, allowing her to relax completely.

The feeling is completely different for Hizakura.

She could clearly feel her warm hands enveloping those cold, smooth feet.

The delicate touch made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at Tao Yao, and silently scooped up warm water with her hands, gently pouring it onto Tao Yao's insteps, her movements clumsy yet earnest.

The sound of water splashing.

The atmosphere in the shop became somewhat subtle.

Hiyori could feel her cheeks burning again. She could only desperately tell herself that she was taking care of a patient, yes, just taking care of a patient.

After an unknown amount of time, the water in the basin gradually cooled down.

Fei Ying felt that the feet under her hands finally had a little warmth.

She felt as if she had been granted a pardon, and quickly took a clean cloth from the side and carefully dried her jade-like feet.

"Hmm...okay...okay..."

Her voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

"Tao Yao, you should rest first."

After saying that, she stood up, picked up the basin of water, and hurriedly ran out of the shop without looking back. She didn't even glance at Tao Yao again and went to wash herself.

As Tao Yao watched Fei Ying's retreating figure, which was almost a hasty escape, the smile on her lips grew even gentler.

It's really cute.

She pulled her feet back, took a thin blanket from the supplies, covered herself with it, and slowly lay down against the wall.

Once the body warmed up, the corrosive force originating from the twilight seemed to calm down considerably.

Nothing to do.

She closed her eyes and tried to call out in her heart.

"Little?"

no respond.

Tao Yao tried several more times.

"Xiaoxiao? Are you there?"

Deep within my consciousness, all was still deathly silent; the familiar yet noisy system spirit seemed to have vanished completely.

Tao Yao frowned slightly.

She still had many questions for the little guy.

When I was besieged by that group of first-generation fairies, Little, or rather, Dawn, was among them.

Why is she also a fairy?

Why did she get involved in that rebellion?

The little guy hadn't mentioned a single word about this important matter to me.

I called out several times, but still received no response.

Tao Yao had no choice but to give up for the time being.

After leaving the old days, I must catch that little guy and give him a good "lesson".

With this in mind, Tao Yao calmed herself down and tried to mobilize the primordial demonic power within her body.

Soon, she was surprised to discover.

That vast primordial power continues to intertwine with the imprint left by twilight, forming a strange balance.

Although she could forcibly break this balance and use primal power to do anything.

But if she did that, the imprint left by the twilight would slip in, and the power of "forgetting" would once again sweep over her perception.

It is no exaggeration to say that the fairy who symbolizes twilight has almost transformed her entire "existence" into a seed of a fairy flower, which she planted in her own origin, constantly restraining her.

Although she could forcibly erase the seed at any time and return to her full potential.

But in that case, the last trace of twilight in this world will completely vanish.

After realizing this, Tao Yao didn't have any other particular thoughts.

Now, as long as she doesn't forcibly use her demonic power, she can be considered an ordinary person who needs protection.

It's just temporarily locking your level cap, isn't it?

She has long been used to it.

Besides, she can break this seal at any time if she wants.

Moreover, in this current situation, she can legitimately and properly learn about the former Hiiro, which she is quite happy to do.

Just as Tao Yao was lost in thought...

A soft sound of footsteps approached from afar.

Fei Ying had finished washing up and changed into a combat uniform that she had salvaged from the ruins. It was relatively clean, and she looked much more refreshed and capable.

She walked to Tao Yao's "bed" and saw that the other person had her eyes open, as if she was thinking about something.

"Tao Yao, why aren't you resting yet?"

Hiyori's voice was very soft, with a hint of barely perceptible concern.

"We still have a long way to go tomorrow."

Tao Yao lazily opened her eyes, looking at the red-haired girl who had returned, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Waiting for your return."

These straightforward, almost intimate words made Hiyori's heart skip a beat.

She muttered something unconsciously.

"do not wait for me."

Fei Ying took a few steps closer, her gaze falling on Tao Yao's still somewhat pale face.

Are you still cold?

"It's alright," Tao Yao replied casually.

Fei Ying didn't believe it. She reached out and grasped Tao Yao's wrist again.

That familiar, chilling coldness seeped through my skin once again.

"Is this okay?"

Hiyori's voice unconsciously rose, carrying a hint of reproach that she herself was unaware of.

"It's still so cold..."

Upon hearing this, Tao Yao simply shrugged indifferently, a hint of helplessness flashing in her cunning eyes.

"There's nothing I can do, maybe it's just my constitution."

She drew out her words, her voice carrying a hint of innocent softness.

"I didn't want to either, Hiyori."

Hiiro fell completely silent.

Looking at the smiling girl before her, whose hands and feet were ice-cold, the string of reason in her heart was snapping inch by inch.

After much hesitation, an absurd idea popped into my head uncontrollably.

She spoke tentatively in a very low voice.

"How about...we sleep in the same bed?"

“We’ll each sleep at one end, that way I can keep your feet warm.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Fei Ying wanted to slap herself.

What nonsense is she spouting?

I'm not usually this enthusiastic. Especially in this cutthroat world, letting my guard down with a stranger I've known for less than a day, and even offering to share a bed with them, seems extremely dangerous.

just in case……

What if the other party tries to harm me while I'm asleep?

However, when facing Tao Yao, her set of vigilance and rules for survival in the wasteland seemed to have completely failed.

Instinctively, she just didn't want to see him looking so sickly.

This contradictory feeling caused Hiyori herself pain.

When she saw that Tao Yao did not respond immediately, the regret and panic in her heart reached their peak.

"Forehead……"

Hiyori quickly waved her hand, trying to salvage the situation.

"Let's just forget about it... Never mind what I said."

However, Tao Yao gently shook her head.

She gazed into Fei Ying's eyes, which were filled with entanglement and panic, and spoke softly in an extremely serious tone, yet with a hint of dependence.

"No, we'll do as you say, Hiyori."

"I need you."

I need you.

These three words were like a precise key, instantly unlocking the last line of defense in Fei Ying's heart.

All the struggle and reason vanished at that moment.

She couldn't refuse.

They simply couldn't bear to refuse.

Fei Ying nodded stiffly, then silently took off her boots and lay down at the other end of the makeshift "bed".

The shop was quiet, with only the soft breathing of the two people.

Fei Ying had her back to Tao Yao, her heart pounding wildly, and she could feel her body stiffening.

After a moment, she took a deep breath, as if she had completed some kind of mental preparation, and slowly turned around. Then, with some clumsiness, she took Tao Yao's cold feet into her arms.

……

The night is getting darker.

Outside the abandoned clothing store, the cold wind howled through the dilapidated streets, wailing like ghosts and wolves.

I do not know how long it has been.

Fei Ying finally felt that the pair of cold jade feet in her arms were gradually warming up.

The chill that had been emanating from her soul was dispelled, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She lay on her side, and by the faint moonlight filtering through the broken window, one could see Tao Yao's peaceful sleeping face.

"Taoyao, are you asleep?" Feiying couldn't help but ask softly.

"uh-huh?"

Tao Yao gave a lazy response with a slightly nasal tone, indicating that she was not fast asleep.

Upon receiving a response, Hiyori's heart inexplicably calmed down.

She organized her thoughts and spoke hesitantly.

"Taoyao, I have something to tell you, but please don't think I'm overthinking it."

"Go ahead and say it, I won't overthink it," Tao Yao said with a smile.

"I don't know why, even though we've only known each other for less than a day, I feel very comfortable being with you."

Hiyori's voice was very soft, as if she were talking to herself.

"You should have been able to sense from the beginning that I was on guard against you from time to time along the way."

"Are you still wary of me now?" Tao Yao asked with interest.

"There's a little bit... but it's practically nothing..."

Hiyori smiled self-deprecatingly.

“I’m even worried that because I’m so close to you, I might suffer a lot in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Tao Yao seemed to think about it seriously for a moment, and then smiled and spoke.

"That's for sure!"

Do you know what people are saying about me?

Hiiro was immediately puzzled.

People say I'm a bad woman.

Tao Yao's voice was full of mischievous laughter, "So if you get involved with me, I'll deceive you terribly in the future."

Hiyori paused for a moment, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Tao Yao, you might think I'm bragging. But in this wasteland, I wouldn't say I can fool everyone, but very few people can fool me..."

"Really?" Tao Yao lazily dragged out her words, "Then let's make a bet. Don't regret it if you get scammed later."

"haha of course."

Hiyori laughed even more happily, "Well, it's a bet you have to accept."

A cheerful atmosphere flowed between the two, dispelling the coldness and silence of the night.

After a brief silence.

As if remembering something, Hiyori spoke again.

"Oh, right, Tao Yao."

Are you really a fairy?

This time, she received no response.

Fei Ying could clearly feel that the owner of the feet in her arms was breathing steadily and slowly.

Are they already asleep?

After noticing this, Hiyori didn't press the matter further.

She silently closed her eyes.
