Chapter 179 White Sakura and Red Sakura

Feiying stumbled out of the room and searched along the corridor.

She now had only one thought in her mind: to find some wine.

It doesn't matter where, as long as you can find wine.

The numbness brought by alcohol made her feel very comfortable. Only when she was drunk could she temporarily forget those painful memories.

Although her steps were light, her movements were still agile.

The secret compartments in the dormitories, the lockers in the classrooms, the corners in the libraries, the utility rooms in the observatory...

She searched all the places where the wine had been hidden, but found nothing.

Even her last secret stash of liquor was empty.

"how so......"

Feiying held onto the wall and continued walking forward.

Her head was dizzy, but she persisted.

She knew there must still be alcohol in the academy, it was just hidden.

After searching all the way, she arrived at the training ground.

As she approached the equipment room, a familiar aroma of wine wafted out, brightening her eyes.

Finally, found it here.

The moment she opened the door, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.

There were a large number of wine bottles neatly placed there, the number was staggering.

Red wine, white wine, beer, spirits...

A wide variety of drinks are available.

It seems that all the alcohol in the entire school has been concentrated here.

In front of these drinks, Violet was standing there quietly, holding a sword.

Feiying walked forward expressionlessly, completely ignoring Violet's presence.

The wine was right in front of her, and she just wanted to take a sip quickly.

However, just as she was about to pass the other person, a cold light flashed.

Violet raised the katana in her hand and stopped her in her tracks.

"Step aside!"

Feiying spoke impatiently, with a strong sense of hostility in her voice.

"You really can't drink anymore!"

Violet's voice was filled with deep worry, "You've been acting strange lately, living a life of drunkenness and dreaming all day long. It's rare to see you sober now."

"Nothing I say will make you continue drinking!"

"It's none of your business what happens to me. It's my business."

Feiying tried to force her way through, but was hit by Ziluolan's knife handle and fell heavily to the ground.

The cold ground sobered her up a little, but also made her completely angry.

The suppressed anger instantly shattered her remaining sanity.

"Violet..."

Feiying stood up slowly, her eyes terribly cold: "Get out of the way, you are no match for me!!"

A trace of worry flashed across Violet's face, but it quickly turned into determination:

"Hiying! I'm a fairy now too!"

She slowly drew out the katana, and a light blue arc of electricity danced on the blade, making a slight crackling sound.

The air in the entire training ground seemed to become heavy, and the breath of thunder and lightning made people shudder.

Feiying also released the power of the Flame Flower, and a scarlet heart's wish appeared in her hand.

This sword, forged by Tao Yao herself in a flame furnace, is dazzling and you can even see faint flame patterns on the sword.

She has never used this sword since Tao Yao left.

The swords clashed and sparks flew.

Violet's sword was wrapped in lightning, and every strike carried incredible force.

There were flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder in the training ground.

Although Feiying's sword moves were sharp, they were disorganized due to her drunkenness and she was unable to exert her full strength.

The floor of the training ground was scratched with marks, and there were also many sword marks on the walls.

The door of the equipment room was shaking under the fluctuations of the battle, and the wine bottles on the shelf kept making clattering sounds.

Both sides controlled their own fairy power and neither of them killed the opponent.

Slowly, the outcome became clear.

Finally, with a crisp sound of metallic collision, the heart's wish was picked up and flew out, and was heavily stuck into the wall.

Feiying fell heavily to the ground, and Ziluolan's sword was against her neck, flashing a cold light.

The arc of electricity danced on the blade, making a threatening sound.

In this battle, Feiying was defeated miserably.

Even the sword that Tao Yao made for her couldn't protect her.

Feiying lay on the cold ground, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.

She didn't even bother to dodge the sword pressed against her neck, as if she had completely given up resistance.

In those eyes that used to be bright, there was now only deep fatigue and self-abandonment.

She didn't even bother to care about the cold feeling on her neck.

"I am a waste indeed..."

She murmured softly, her voice full of self-mockery:

"I became a fairy before you, but your use of fairy power and control of this chaotic force far surpasses mine..."

She smiled bitterly: "If I can't even win the most basic battle, what qualifications do I have to say I want to find Taoyao..."

She reeked strongly of alcohol, but at the moment she was extremely clear-headed.

This awakening made her even more painful because she clearly realized her own incompetence.

Feiying had priority over Violet in controlling the fairy flower, so logically she should be more skilled.

But now, she can clearly feel that Violet's progress is much faster than hers.

This gap is not only reflected in strength, but also in the understanding and use of power.

Every time she saw Violet's skillful use of the power of thunder and lightning, she felt deeply inferior.

Violet slowly put away the sword, and the arc of light dissipated.

She looked at Feiying on the ground with a complicated expression:

"Feiying, have you ever tried to seriously feel the weapon given to you by Taoyao?"

She pointed to her heart's wish:

"That sword contains her expectations and trust in you."

"If you had truly experienced this, you would never say such self-deprecating words."

"That sword carries her feelings for you. Every flame pattern represents her concern for you."

Hearing Taoyao's name, Feiying's eyes became even dimmer.

She turned her head away, unwilling to meet Violet's gaze.

The entire training ground fell into silence, with only the sound of wind in the distance and the occasional clinking of wine bottles.

This silence made the atmosphere even more depressing, as if even the air had frozen.

After a long while, Violet spoke again:

"Something happened to Senior Laurel."

Her tone became serious, "She went to the Spirit Realm Sand Sea to carry out a mission, and then lost contact..."

"From the last message she sent us, we suspect there are new goblins out there."

She took a deep breath: "Feiying, this is the last time I will stop you."

"Soon, Jasmine and I will be going on a mission."

Feiying's expression remained unchanged, as if these things had nothing to do with her.

She just lay on the ground with empty eyes, like a doll without a soul.

That look made Violet feel very distressed.

"Feiying, I know you are very sad and miserable."

Violet's voice softened. "I feel uncomfortable in my heart as well. Taoyao is really good. I felt really bad when I saw her being taken away."

"But the fact has already happened, we have to find a way to make up for it and redeem it!"

There was a hint of pleading in her voice:

"Cheer up, okay? We need you!"

After saying these words, Violet looked at Feiying deeply, then turned and left.

The footsteps gradually faded away.

Only Feiying was left lying there alone.

There was still a hint of electric arc in the air, reminding her of her recent defeat.

Feiying was silent for a long time, and finally stumbled to her feet.

She swayed towards the pile of bottles guarded by Violet.

Now that no one was stopping her, she could drink as much as she wanted.

Looking at the dazzling array of wine bottles, her eyes did not contain any desire, only deep fatigue.

Picking up a bottle of wine, she leaned against the cold wall.

With a flick of the finger, the bottle cap opened.

The rich aroma of wine hit her face, and she tilted her head back and took a big gulp.

This is the kind of beer she drinks most often. It is cheap, has moderate alcohol content, and is most suitable for numbness.

A bitter taste spread in her mouth and Feiying frowned.

To be honest, she didn't think the wine was that tasty.

When she first drank it, she was even choked by the taste and started coughing.

After drinking it for a while, I just got used to the bitterness instead of really liking it.

The reason why she kept drinking was that she liked the feeling of her consciousness gradually becoming blurred.

Only in that state could she temporarily forget all her worries, her incompetence and failure.

She was escaping, and she knew very well that she was escaping reality.

But she was afraid to face it, fearing that her efforts would not only have no good results, but would make things worse.

Just like what was said in the end, she would only bring trouble to Taoyao.

Someone like her is not worthy of standing beside Tao Yao.

Even now, the words that Zhongmo said at that time still echo in her mind from time to time.

Those words seemed to be engraved in the depths of her soul, lingering:

"You are too weak, Feiying. You will only drag her down and put her in danger. You think you are protecting her? In fact, you are her biggest threat."

Even though Taoyao said that she didn't care about these things, Feiying, as the person involved, couldn't help but care.

Those words were like a thorn, piercing deep into her heart, causing her heart to ache every time she thought of them.

"are u there?"

She asked suddenly, her voice a little hoarse.

In the dim equipment room, she was the only one who could see the white-haired figure quietly appearing beside her.

That is her second personality, and it is something that only she can see.

That face, which looked exactly like hers, had a gentle smile on it, as if waiting for her to speak.

"Let me ask you something. Do you like Taoyao?"

Feiying asked softly, with a hint of drunkenness in her tone.

She looked down at the bottle of wine in her hand, not knowing whether she was asking the other person or herself.

"Ah this..."

The white-haired personality was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to suddenly ask this question.

Then he showed a gentle smile:

"I like it! Of course I like it. After all, how could I not like it?

This is indeed Taoyao's true words.

She has always taken good care of herself.

But Feiying understood it in another meaning.

In her opinion, this was just her personality saying that they were one and the same.

So of course I would like Taoyao as the original body.

She asked the other party if he liked Taoyao.

In a sense, I am just indirectly asking myself whether I like Taoyao.

"yes......"
