Chapter 272 1 flower at the beginning
In the unopened map of Fairy Journey, at the outermost part of the Mechanical City, there is a large-scale abandoned site.
There are countless scrapped machines piled up here, with broken gears and rusty springs everywhere.
On the towering mountain of scrap iron, steam pipes are intertwined, spewing out white steam from time to time.
The moonlight shone through the thick dark clouds, giving the ruins a layer of cold silver.
The scattered mechanical debris made slight collision sounds in the wind, as if it was the unknown sigh of the city.
The cold metal glowed faintly under the moonlight, outlining a doomsday scene.
The mechanical city in the distance is still brightly lit.
Huge gears rotate slowly above the city, driving countless robotic arms to rise and fall.
The sound of steam gushing out is constant, echoing the never-stopping clockwork tower in the center of the city.
The outline of the city is outlined by countless copper pipes and steel cables, like a huge mechanical monster crawling on the ground.
The street lamps on both sides of the street emit a dim light, which is the lighting provided by the energy crystals from deep underground.
Occasionally a steam locomotive roared past, leaving long tracks in the silent night sky.
This is the most desolate area in the Mechanical City and also the most suitable place to hide.
Deep in the ruins, Tao Yao gently placed the unconscious little Hualei in the middle of a pile of discarded parts.
The girl's face looked particularly peaceful in the moonlight, as if she was just having a sweet dream.
Various mechanical fragments were scattered around her, but it did not affect her sleep at all.
Immediately afterwards, Tao Yao raised her hand and waved, and a black shadow separated from her body.
That was the shadow fairy that she had deprived of her power.
At this moment, the shadow was standing aside with his head down, like a child who had done something wrong and did not dare to look Tao Yao directly into the eyes.
"Xiaoying, she is the new fairy I chose. You should stay with her for the time being until she finds the corresponding fairy flower to fuse with."
There was unquestionable majesty in Tao Yao's voice, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"You have to remember that I will always keep an eye on you."
"If you dare to do anything bad to her, or have any other ideas..."
She paused deliberately to make the threat more obvious.
"I think you should be aware of the consequences."
The sense of oppression contained in these words made the shadow fairy, who had lost his power, shrink his neck.
She knew very well that without the power of shadow, she had no right to resist Tao Yao.
After saying this, Tao Yao left a purple and green poisonous flower next to the small flower bud.
The moment the flower blooms, a strange energy begins to slowly flow into the body of the small bud.
That is the power of the poison goblin.
But at this moment it has turned into a source of energy to sustain life.
next moment.
Tao Yao's figure quietly disappeared under the moonlight, as if she had never appeared.
Only the little bud, the shadow fairy and the poisonous flower were left cuddling each other in the ruins.
The power of shadow was one of Taoyao's most important powers, so naturally she couldn't really return it to the shadow fairy.
However, the power of the poisonous fairy is temporarily useless to Tao Yao, so it can be placed in Xiao Hualei to maintain her body that is crippled by leukemia.
Although this power has a highly poisonous nature.
But after Taoyao's preparation, it became the most suitable medicine for healing small flower buds.
This power will last until the little bud finds its own fairy flower.
During this period of time, Xiaoying, who has lost the power of shadow, and the poisonous flower will accompany her like guardians.
They would protect her and guide her until the moment she truly became a fairy.
Tao Yao herself would also silently watch this special girl in the dark.
……
With Tao Yao's disappearance, the remaining power of poison began to catalyze a wisp of green mist.
The mist slowly condensed in the air and gradually formed the outline of a human figure.
The power of poison glowed eerily under the moonlight, adding a touch of mystery to the ruins.
The shadow fairy moved her new body around.
She looked up at the night sky. The stars above the scrap yard were looming, and the lights of the Mechanical City illuminated the sky red.
She looked around, confirming that no one was around.
"I...I am really free?"
There was a hint of disbelief in the Shadow Fairy's voice.
It was a tremor that was finally released after being suppressed for too long.
She once again carefully sensed everything around her.
After confirming that Tao Yao had indeed left, she suddenly laughed out loud towards the sky.
The laughter was full of madness and insolence, echoing over the silent scrapyard.
The laughter startled the mechanical birds perched on the scrap metal pile. They flapped their wings and flew away into the distance, leaving behind a series of sounds of mechanical gears turning.
“Hahahaha! Yuanchu, ah Yuanchu! I didn’t expect you could be so stupid! You actually let me out?”
There was sarcasm in her laughter, "You have imprisoned me for so long, and today I finally got my chance!"
Her eyes fell on the little bud lying in the rubble.
The girl lay peacefully on the petals, unaware of what was about to happen.
Her breathing was even and steady, and her face was peaceful, as if she was having a sweet dream.
The smile on the shadow fairy's face became more ferocious, and there was a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.
"I don't know where you found this human being, but with just a few words, you want me to help her become a fairy?"
The shadow fairy sneered
"Don't even think about this ridiculous thing! Do you think you can just find a human to become a fairy?"
She licked her lips, with a greedy gleam in her eyes:
"You keep the power of poison, but how can I let go of this delicious human host?"
"Although this human body is in terrible condition, as long as it is stained with some fairy power, it will definitely become the most perfect container for me!"
As he spoke, the Shadow Fairy began to activate the power of the Poison Flower.
Green poisonous mist condensed in her hands, emitting a deadly aura.
She planned to use the power of poison to infect the human girl, destroy her will, and turn her into another puppet body of her own.
By then, she will be able to completely break free from Taoyao's control.
However, at this moment, the Shadow Fairy suddenly felt that she had lost control of the Poison Flower.
The poisonous mist that was originally controlled by her suddenly went out of control and turned into pink petals that hovered around her.
A shudder from deep within her soul made her realize that something was wrong.
A pair of giant hands made of flower petals suddenly stretched out from the void, exuding a suffocating pressure.
Before the shadow fairy could react, the pair of giant hands shattered her intangible body and forced her back into the little flower bud's body.
"I told you I'd keep an eye on you, how dare you play such a trick?"
Tao Yao's cold voice rang in Shadow Fairy's ears, carrying with it endless majesty.
"If you dare to mess around again, you will stay by my side forever, and I will never let you out again."
at the same time.
A new bud of poisonous flower grew on Little Flower Bud's right shoulder, and the Shadow Fairy was trapped inside it, with resentment and fear written all over her face.
She had no idea where Yuanchu was hiding and watching her, and she didn't even know when the other party had set the trap.
This feeling of being completely controlled made her angry and powerless.
"have you understood?"
Tao Yao's voice sounded again, her tone full of warning.
"Or do you need me to make you understand in a more direct way?"
The shadow fairy completely surrendered and dared not make any unusual moves.
There was obvious fear in her voice:
"I understand...I understand."
"I will help her with peace of mind and will not tell her that this is something you instructed me to do."
"And I swear, I will never have second thoughts again."
After the Shadow Fairy finished speaking, Tao Yao's aura disappeared again, as if she had never appeared.
After confirming that the original had left, the shadow fairy trapped in the new sprout finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she still looked around vigilantly, feeling that Yuanchu was still watching everything silently in the dark.
The feeling of being under constant surveillance made her feel creepy.
There seems to be an original eye hidden in every corner, and the power of the other party may be lurking in every shadow.
It seems that this so-called "freedom" is just another cage that the origin has given her.
Thinking of this, the Shadow Fairy couldn't help but shudder.
She finally understood that she had been under Origin's control from the beginning to the end.
The other party will not return the authority of shadow to himself.
But it's just to better monitor myself...
The power of poison is too strong.
But that also takes time.
She is now under constant surveillance by Yuanchu and has no chance to do anything wrong.
Therefore, the shadow fairy, knowing that he could not escape freedom, did not dare to say anything, and could only curse in his heart:
"Damn you, you will be in trouble sooner or later!"
"..."
Cold scrap metal fragments were scattered all around, and the moonlight quietly illuminated this desolate land.
In this silent mechanical ruins, the little flower bud lying on the ground covered with broken iron, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and consciousness is gradually returning.
"Well……"
She let out a small moan and slowly opened her eyes.
My vision was still a little blurry when I woke up, and my head was groggy, as if I had just woken up from a long dream.
I felt uncomfortable all over, as if I had been beaten up.
My head hurts and my body feels uncomfortable.
Little Hualei struggled to sit up and looked around in confusion.
The towering mountains of scrap metal cast huge shadows in the night, mechanical wreckage piled up like mountains, and the skyline in the distance was illuminated red by the lights of the Mechanical City.
Copper pipes and steel bars intertwine to create a doomsday-like scene.
Occasionally, cold liquid drips from the pipe, making a crisp sound.
Scattered mechanical fragments were piled up around her, some of which were even rusty and looked like they had been stored here for a long time.
"Where is this?"
She rubbed her temples, trying to wake herself up.
My consciousness gradually returned, and the last scene in my memory was still in the hospital ward.
The smell of disinfectant, the dazzling white light, the doctor's regretful expression, and the sound of my sister crying.
"I'm not... in the hospital?"
She remembered it very clearly. At that time, her whole body was in pain and even breathing became difficult.
The leukemia has reached an advanced stage and all treatment options have failed.
She has reached the end of her life and is about to die.
And just at that moment.
She seemed to vaguely see Tao Yao?
