Chapter 309: "Fairy Journey" Lei character PV - "Above the Ruins"
Under the coercion and inducement of the puppet.
This violent and bloodthirsty death goblin finally lowered his proud head and chose to compromise.
She knew she had no choice.
Since she can't beat the person who scares her for the time being, she still has to make friends.
So for Xiaobai, she could only accept this condition temporarily.
Throughout the whole process, the Death Fairy's expression changed in rich and complex ways, from anger to suspicion, to unwillingness and final surrender.
The feeling of weakness made her shoulders slump slightly.
In order to save Xiaobai, she is willing to pay any price, even if it means temporarily bowing to this inexplicable puppet.
"Okay, I'll agree to whatever you say."
The Death Fairy finally spoke, her voice low and slightly unwilling:
"But you must fulfill your promise and help me wake up Xiaobai."
"If I find out that you've cheated on me, I'll never forgive you."
The puppet nodded gracefully, with a proper smile on his face:
"I never break my word. As long as you abide by our rules, I will help you with all my strength."
She clapped her hands lightly, as if to bring the negotiation to an end.
Then she turned her gaze to the flower buds beside her.
"Xiaolei, just like you were responsible for arranging accommodations for Feiying and Jasmine last time, this time please also take our new companions to familiarize themselves with the tower."
The voice of the puppet is gentle and kind:
"Let her know our daily operations and ground rules."
When Hua Lei heard the task, she immediately stood up excitedly, with joy shining in her eyes.
Unlike the tense atmosphere just now, she seemed genuinely happy to be able to welcome new partners.
"No problem, sweet sister!"
Hualei readily agreed, then turned to the Fairy of Death and smiled brightly:
"Come on, sister. I'll show you around the tower!"
As she spoke, she walked forward boldly, reached out her hand and grasped the Death Fairy's arm.
This action made the Death Fairy visibly stunned, and a trace of discomfort flashed across his face.
But she did not shake off Hua Lei's hand, she just frowned and looked reluctant.
"There are many interesting places in the tower. I will introduce them to you!"
Hualei seemed to be completely oblivious to the other party's discomfort, and continued to speak happily, pulling the Death Fairy towards the door.
When the Fairy of Death was being dragged away, she did not forget to look back at the white flowers on the coffee table.
The white flower was still dying and looked as if it would wither completely at any moment.
There was a glimmer of pain and worry in her eyes.
But in the end, he followed Hua Lei out of the meeting room.
Only four people were left in the room: Renouqing, Renouyi, Feiying and Jasmine.
Feiying looked at the departing backs of Hualei and the Fairy of Death, her face filled with worry and uneasiness.
"Is…is this really appropriate?"
Feiying couldn't help but ask, her voice full of doubt:
"Let Xiaolei take her to familiarize herself with the tower... That goblin looks dangerous. He just wanted to kill all of us."
She frowned, her eyes full of worry about Hualei's safety.
After all, the violent tendencies of the Death Fairy have been fully demonstrated.
And in Feiying's eyes, Hualei is still the simple girl who needs protection.
Upon hearing this, Renouqing shook his head slightly, still with that faint smile on his face.
"Do not worry."
There was confidence in her voice:
"With the Shadow Fairy here, few people can do anything to Xiaolei now."
"Even a newly revived dead fairy can't do it."
She looked out the door, as if she could see the two people walking away through the wall.
"Besides, Xiaolei's innocent attitude may be exactly what the Death Fairy needs to be exposed to right now."
......
On the other side, Hualei enthusiastically took the Death Fairy to visit various areas of the tower.
She pointed at various facilities and introduced their functions and how to use them, from the library to the training ground, from the restaurant to the rest area, explaining everything in detail.
The Fairy of Death remained silent throughout, just following behind Hualei silently, its purple-black eyes scanning everything around it indifferently.
Her expression was still arrogant and distant, but at least she didn't show any hostility, which was already a considerable improvement.
"This is the green plant cultivation base of the tower. When I don't have any missions, I like to relax here..."
Bud said, pointing to a green area.
Then he suddenly turned his head and looked directly into the eyes of the Death Fairy:
"By the way, can I call you Sister Xiao Hei?"
This sudden question made the Death Fairy slightly stunned.
She frowned, confusion flashing in her eyes.
No one had ever addressed her so affectionately since she woke up.
After a few seconds, she still chose to remain silent, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Seeing this, Hualei smiled even more brightly.
"Since Sister Xiaohei doesn't say anything, I'll take it as Sister Xiaohei's consent!"
As she spoke, she continued to lead the Fairy of Death forward, introducing the surrounding environment while speaking softly.
"Since Sister Xiaohei accidentally damaged the facilities in many areas of the tower just now, we need to bring back some parts to repair them when we go out to open up the west area tomorrow."
Hualei's tone was relaxed and lively, without any accusation at all:
"There are a lot of abandoned machinery in the West End. We should be able to find useful parts there."
Hualei kept talking, not caring at all whether the Death Fairy responded or not.
Her enthusiasm never seems to fade, and she maintains this positive attitude even when facing a cold and arrogant death fairy.
"Sister Xiaohei, is there any place you want to go in particular? Or is there anything you want to ask?"
"You're welcome, just say it!"
Bud continued to ask enthusiastically, with an anticipatory glimmer in her eyes.
however.
The Death Fairy remained silent, only nodding occasionally to show that he was listening.
This cold attitude didn't seem to affect Hualei's enthusiasm at all, but instead made her try harder to communicate with the other party.
Just as Hualei was about to continue introducing the next area
The purple-black flower on her right shoulder suddenly moved, and then slowly opened an eye.
The eye was deep and strange, with a temperament completely different from that of the bud.
The buds can endure.
But that doesn't mean the shadow fairy can recognize it.
So, Shadow Demon Mirror started to taunt on the spot:
"Oh, aren't these sisters the ones who hold the power of life and death?"
"It's been so long since we last met, why are you so lame now? You can't even beat a puppet, it's really embarrassing for a fairy."
As soon as these sarcastic words were spoken, the originally silent Death Fairy's expression changed instantly, and his eyes suddenly looked at the flower on Hualei's shoulder.
"Shadow... Shadow fairy?"
The Death Fairy's voice was filled with surprise and a hint of disbelief, "Why are you here?"
The Shadow Fairy's unique eye turned, as if sizing up the Death Fairy, and then it let out a sharp laugh.
"Why, are you surprised to see an old acquaintance?"
"I remember you. You were so arrogant back then. You hung out with your sister Xiaobai all day long and didn't take us single fairies seriously."
The shadow fairy's tone became more and more harsh:
"What about now? One was knocked down, and the other was dead beyond death."
This merciless ridicule made the Death Fairy's face instantly become extremely ugly.
The Death Fairy's expression instantly darkened, an unhealthy blush appeared on her originally pale face, her hands were clenched into fists, her nails dug deeply into her palms.
There was a dangerous light flashing in those purple-black eyes, as if a fatal attack would erupt at any time.
"you……"
The Death Fairy gnashed his teeth, his voice filled with suppressed anger, and he seemed to be on the verge of a rage.
Wisps of black mist began to appear around her, which was a sign that the power of death was activated.
Hua Lei immediately realized that the situation was not good and hurriedly inserted herself between the two of them, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
"Sister Ying, please stop talking!"
Hualei's voice became unusually stern. She frowned and her expression became serious:
"Every word that comes out of your mouth is offensive!"
"We finally welcome new partners, can't you be a little more friendly?"
However, the Shadow Fairy seemed to not care about Hualei's rebuke at all. His strange eye turned around with a mocking expression.
"Did I say something wrong?"
The shadow fairy's voice was sharp and piercing, with undisguised sarcasm:
"This guy is obviously a fairy, but he is lifeless all day long. He is even darker than me, the Shadow Fairy."
"Look at her. She looks like she's ready to bury someone at any time. Oh, yes, she is the fairy of death. She was originally responsible for burying people. She used to bury others and yelled about giving others life and death. But now the fairy representing life in the twin flowers is really gone."
The Shadow Fairy's words were like knives, accurately stabbing the Death Fairy's pain points.
Every word was filled with malice, as if designed to provoke the other party's anger.
Hualei saw that the Death Fairy's expression was becoming more and more gloomy, and the blue veins on his forehead were visibly twitching a few times.
She knew that if this continued, the situation might get out of control.
"Shut up!"
The buds suddenly raised the volume:
"Ying, if you say one more word, I'll be really angry!"
These words seemed to carry some kind of magic. The shadow fairy's eyes suddenly widened, and then it actually closed its "mouth" and stopped making any sound.
The purple-black flower regained its calm, as if nothing that had just happened had happened.
Hualei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the Shadow Fairy had finally calmed down, then turned to the Death Fairy and that warm smile reappeared on her face.
"Don't mind it, Sister Xiaohei. Sister Xiaoying is just like that. She likes to say unpleasant things, but she actually has a good heart."
Hualei's voice returned to its gentle and kind tone:
"If there is any old grudge between you, Sister Xiaohei can tell me."
"I am Sister Xiaoying's host now. I can help you teach her a lesson."
When Hualei said this, her tone was as relaxed and natural as if she was discussing today's weather.
When the shadow fairy on her shoulder heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, seeming a little dissatisfied.
But she didn't refute it in the end, she just curled her lips quietly.
The Death Fairy looked at the bud and the Shadow Fairy on her shoulder, her expression gradually changing from anger to surprise.
She opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she only uttered two words.
"Thanks……"
