Chapter 337 The Girls’ Journey Through Time (2)
After Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she looked at Taoyao expectantly, her little hands nervously twisted together in front of her chest, as if she was waiting for her master's praise.
Tao Yao looked at the elf who was so excited that he almost flew, but a hint of hesitation arose in his heart.
She frowned slightly, closed the book and put it on the bedside table beside her.
"It's like dreaming?"
There was obvious doubt in Taoyao's voice:
"Is this really reliable? What if I can't see anything, or all I see are some messed up illusions? Wouldn't my 30 popularity points be wasted?"
She looked directly at Xiao Xiao. Although her tone was gentle, her eyes were extremely serious:
"Are you sure you can guarantee the accuracy of this method?"
Xiaoxiao heard the doubt in his master's words and immediately straightened his body, his expression becoming serious.
She flew up from the book and stopped in front of Taoyao, making sure her eyes were level with her master's.
【Don't worry, Master! 】
The little voice was full of confidence, and the little hand patted itself confidently:
[With Xiao Xiao here, what can go wrong? Xiao Xiao guarantees to prepare a perfect dream experience for the owner! ]
She turned in the air, and the blue light left a graceful arc behind her:
[This is one of my specialties. The past scenes are presented clearly, which is definitely more real than watching a documentary! ]
Tao Yao looked at Xiao Xiao's confident look, and the doubts in her heart not only did not decrease, but became even stronger.
She knows herself, the system elf, too well.
The more confident Xiaoxiao appears, the less reliable she seems.
"You'd better be..."
Tao Yao muttered softly, with a hint of helpless compromise in her tone.
According to Xiaoxiao, this was just a special dream experience while she was sleeping. Through this dream, she could understand the past grievances between the Sea Fairy and the twin flower sisters.
It sounds simple and safe, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
Besides, if there really is an accident, with her abilities, she should be able to get rid of the dream in time.
Furthermore, Tao Yao now controls the original authority, so even in a dream, her power will not completely disappear.
Just as Tao Yao was thinking about the pros and cons of this issue, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open with a slight "click" sound.
Tao Yao waved her hand almost reflexively, and the small figure immediately disappeared into the air, as if it had never appeared.
She quickly picked up the book she had put down earlier and pretended to be immersed in reading while looking towards the door.
Finally, he stood at the door, pushing it gently with one hand and unexpectedly holding a pillow with the other hand.
She still maintained that cold expression, but there was a hint of imperceptible hesitation in her eyes, as if she was uncertain about her actions.
Seeing Zhongmo hugging the pillow, Taoyao couldn't help but reveal a sly smile.
She closed the book and asked in a deliberately teasing tone:
"Xiaomo brought a pillow. Does he want to sleep next to me?"
This sentence obviously hit the soft spot of the end.
Her expression instantly became tense, her eyes flickered, and even a barely visible blush appeared on her cheeks.
"no!"
The final answer came out almost without thinking, with obvious panic and excuses in the tone:
"I just wanted to come in and chat with you, this pillow is..."
She paused, as if thinking of a reasonable explanation, and finally added somewhat stiffly:
"I'm just a little cold and I want to find something to hug."
Tao Yao looked at Zhongmo's hypocritical expression and felt even happier in her heart.
The temperature in the tower is not cold.
Besides, how could one possibly feel cold at the end?
There is absolutely no truth in this.
However, the considerate Taoyao would not expose the lovely ending on the spot.
She moved her body slightly, leaving a space on the bed.
"Okay, okay, I just came to chat."
There was an undisguised smile in Taoyao's voice.
To be honest, she felt that Zhongmo was becoming more and more adorable.
How nice it would be if we could always be this cute?
With this thought.
Taoyao began to chat with Zhongmo about some unimportant trivial matters.
Finally, he even started telling Zhongmo a bedtime story.
Although Zhongmo said that she didn't need to sleep.
But under Tao Yao's gentle words, he gradually closed his eyes.
"are you asleep?"
After seeing the end of the world quietly closed his eyes.
Tao Yao muttered secretly in her heart.
Then she reached out and covered Zhongmo with a blanket, then she lay down and closed her eyes.
……
at the same time.
Without Taoyao knowing.
In another part of the tower, Feiying also returned to her room.
Feiying stretched heavily and let out a contented sigh.
Today's work was particularly busy. She spent almost the whole day with Hua Lei looking up information, trying to find some historical records about the Mechanical City, and then see if there were any details about Taoyao.
Although the gain was not great, it at least allowed her to gain a better understanding of the Mechanical City.
She first took a hot bath, letting the warm water wash away the day's fatigue.
Then he changed into a loose pajamas and leaned against the head of the bed in a daze.
She turned sideways and looked through the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the room, looking at the mechanical city that was now gradually recovering, her expression a little dazed.
The mechanical capital at night presents a unique beauty under the illumination of lights, with the coldness of metal and the warmth of lights forming a wonderful contrast.
She suddenly thought of Tao Yao.
Calculating the time, it has been more than half a year since Taoyao was taken away by Zhongmo, right?
And she is still looking for Taoyao's whereabouts, although there has been no substantial progress so far.
"I don't know what Taoyao is doing now? Is she doing well?"
Feiying murmured softly, with obvious longing and worry in her tone.
In fact, few people know that Feiying often misses Taoyao when it is late at night.
She was afraid that if she didn't think about Tao Yao, she would gradually become lazy and eventually give up looking for him.
So she needs to constantly push herself and remind herself.
She vowed to become stronger, strong enough to find Taoyao, strong enough to protect everything she cherished.
She silently repeated this promise every day, like a ritual, engraved into the depths of her soul.
At this moment, the words that Tao Yao had said to her in the past seemed to linger in her ears again.
Those words of encouragement, those moments of laughter, those quiet times spent together, all played back in her mind like a movie.
"I will definitely find you...I will definitely!"
Feiying murmured softly, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, her consciousness gradually blurred, and finally she slowly fell asleep.
……
At the same time, in another room of the tower.
Hualei looked at the Death Fairy Xiaohei who had changed into pajamas but still looked awkward.
The pink pajamas looked a little out of place on Xiao Hei, forming a sharp contrast with her usual mysterious and cold temperament.
Xiao Hei stood there with his hands hanging unnaturally at his sides and a stiff expression, as if he didn't know how to deal with this situation.
"What's wrong, Blackie?"
Hualei asked gently, with a hint of concern in her tone:
"Don't your pajamas fit? If they're too big, I can go find a smaller one."
Xiao Hei shook his head gently, his voice cold and calm:
"No."
She paused, as if thinking about how to express her thoughts, and then continued:
"Fairies are different from humans. They don't need to sleep every day. These... don't make sense to me."
Compared to humans, fairies' physiological structure is indeed very different.
Although fairies do not absolutely need to sleep, they often wake up after a long sleep. Unless they fall asleep again due to unexpected circumstances, there is no need for them to rest every day like humans.
The death fairy Xiao Hei is one of those fairies who doesn't like to sleep and rest.
To her, sleeping is just a waste of time.
Not far away, the sea elf, which was condensed from pure water, heard this and sneered contemptuously.
"Ha! If you don't like sleeping, that's your business."
Her voice was filled with sarcasm, "But you have the power to put people into eternal sleep."
"How ironic, isn't it?"
"The demon who controls the 'Eternal Sleep' refuses to die himself."
These words obviously irritated Xiao Hei.
She turned her head sharply, a dangerous gleam in her eyes.
"You piece of trash, you want to fight again, don't you?"
Xiao Hei said coldly, with obvious threat in his voice.
Seeing that the two fairies were about to quarrel again, Hua Lei quickly stood between them, stretched out her hands and made a soothing gesture.
"OK OK!"
There was a hint of helplessness in Hualei's voice. "Whether you sleep or not, at least you have to lie down and rest! After all, this is a tower, and it belongs to the human world. Even if you are fairies, you have to act according to human rules, at least on the surface."
Her tone was firm, but her eyes were pleading:
"Just think it's for me, okay?"
After hearing what Hualei said, the two fairies had to put aside their grudges temporarily and lay down on both sides of Hualei, one on the left and one on the right.
Although their expressions were still unfriendly, at least they did not continue arguing.
In fact, the two fairies didn't really want to sleep, they just lay down reluctantly to accommodate Hualei.
But strangely, not long after they lay down, they suddenly felt an intense sleepiness, as if an invisible force was pulling at their consciousness.
The sea fairy tried to resist this sudden tiredness, but her consciousness became increasingly blurred.
Xiao Hei also noticed this abnormality and wanted to get up, but found that his body was no longer under his control.
Not long after, the two fairies fell into a deep sleep involuntarily.
Then, Hualei also felt an inexplicable drowsiness, and soon closed his eyes, and his breathing became even and steady.
Just after the three of them fell asleep, the purple-black flower that possessed Hualei's right arm and shoulder slowly opened its eyes.
There was obvious confusion and depression in the Shadow Fairy's voice.
"No...why can't I sleep?"
……
It's quiet at night.
Almost all the residents of the tower have fallen asleep, and the entire building seems extremely quiet.
Every room was plunged into darkness, with only a few spots still having lights on.
