Chapter 347 Don’t Save Me, You’ll Die (2)
Tao Yao covered her chest, feeling waves of pain in her body. It felt as if countless knives were cutting her lungs.
She looked down at the blood on her palm. The glaring red color looked particularly shocking on her fair palm.
She looked up and saw the almost terrified expression on the sea fairy's face, and her heart softened.
Taoyao forced a smile, trying to make herself look less weak and painful.
She gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, took a deep breath, and tried to make her voice sound steady and powerful.
"Don't worry, I'm fine..."
Tao Yao's voice was a little hoarse, but she tried her best to remain calm:
"It's just that my body is a little uncomfortable. I'll be fine after a rest."
As she said these words, she tried her best to avoid the sharp eyes of the sea fairy.
However, the sea fairy knows Haitang's body much better than she imagined.
She reached out to support Tao Yao's staggering body, her tone filled with anxiety and reproach that was difficult to conceal.
"You're still saying you're fine? You look so ugly now, as white as paper!"
The sea fairy's voice became louder due to her worry:
"I've told you long ago that your body can't bear this kind of burden, but you just wouldn't listen!"
The Sea Fairy said this and hurriedly grabbed Tao Yao's hand, as if wanting to take her away from this place immediately.
Her movements were urgent and determined, and there was a light in her eyes that was almost desperate.
"Haitang, twin flowers are absolutely unreliable!"
There was a sense of anxiety and fear in the voice of the sea fairy:
"Let's go quickly. Once we get back to a safe place, I'll use the power of the sea monster to slow down the progression of your injuries.
That Xiaolei doesn't even understand what the authority of life is. Following her is a sheer waste of time!"
The sea fairy's hand grasped Tao Yao's wrist tightly, with such force that it almost left a red mark.
However, just as she was about to take Taoyao away by force, Taoyao's other hand gently covered her hand and stopped her action.
Although Taoyao's hands were weak, the firm strength prevented the sea fairy from moving forward.
Tao Yao looked deeply into the eyes of the sea fairy, with an extraordinary calmness and determination in her eyes.
"Fairy, you know it."
Tao Yao's voice was low and calm:
"We have no other choice. Apart from the life and death, even if there is another way now, I am afraid it is too late."
She looked deeply into the sea fairy's eyes, which were trembling slightly with worry, and her tone was filled with a slight reproach and understanding.
"Besides...you don't have any other choice, do you?"
There was a hint of bitterness in Tao Yao's voice:
“Your sea monster power can only temporarily cover up the scars, but it cannot truly repair them.
We all know that this is just delaying the issue, not solving it.”
When the Sea Fairy heard these words, the expression on her face suddenly became complicated.
Her eyes were filled with anger, pain, self-blame and helplessness...
Those emotions intertwined together, leaving her speechless for a moment.
Finally, she let go of Tao Yao's hand, lowered her head, and her shoulders trembled slightly.
When she spoke again, there was a deep sense of remorse and pain in her voice.
"It's all my fault..."
The voice of the Sea Fairy was full of regret and self-blame, as if every word was pulled out from the deepest part of her heart, "I should have restrained myself at that time. Otherwise, your body would not have become like this because of my sea fairy power..."
Her words contained regret for the past, powerlessness in the present, and fear and anxiety about the future.
The Sea Fairy knew that if it weren't for her, Tao Yao wouldn't have become what she is now.
Not all humans are adaptable to the powers of fairies.
Although Haitang's body is already very suitable for the sea fairy.
But even so, her body still couldn't fully withstand the sea demon power that was as vast as the ocean.
The power of the goblin is like a double-edged sword, which gives the apostles extraordinary abilities.
But at the same time, it will also cause irreversible damage to the apostle's body.
The power of the sea fairy is even more so due to its special nature.
Tao Yao felt a pain in her heart when she saw the self-blaming expression of the Sea Fairy.
She knew the goblin had always blamed herself for this, even though she had never blamed her.
"It's not your fault, fairy,"
Tao Yao's voice was still as gentle as water, with an unconditional tolerance and understanding:
"If you want to blame someone, blame me because my body is too weak and cannot withstand your demonic power."
Having said this, Tao Yao paused slightly, as if considering how to say the next words.
Then, as if she had made up her mind, she continued:
"So, goblin, if I'm really hopeless,"
There was a heartbreaking calmness in Taoyao's voice.
"When the time comes, you can go find an apostle who is more suitable for you, an apostle who is more compatible with you."
"I believe that I will be able to find a partner who is better than me in the future."
Her words were filled with sincere blessings and selfless love, like a mother who was about to leave and was planning the future for her children.
However, these words were like a knife, stabbing deeply into the heart of the sea fairy.
Her face suddenly turned pale, and an indescribable pain and fear appeared in her eyes.
Tao Yao's words reminded her of another person, Miss Coral, who is still in a coma in reality and whose situation is exactly the same as Haitang's, and whose life and death are also unknown.
The sea fairy suddenly became hesitant, with an undisguised tremor and pain in her voice.
"Hai... Haitang."
The sea fairy's voice was almost choked with sobs, and tears were about to overflow from her eyes:
"I, I did something wrong again..."
Tao Yao looked at the appearance of the Sea Fairy and couldn't help but tilt her head, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Ok?"
Tao Yao asked softly, her eyes full of concern and confusion:
"What did you do wrong?"
The sea fairy lowered her head, her fingers twisted together unconsciously, as if she was experiencing some kind of inner struggle.
Finally, she seemed to muster up great courage, raised her head and looked directly into Taoyao's eyes.
"I...I met a new partner outside of my dream,"
The sea fairy's voice was filled with a deep sense of self-blame and guilt:
"But... because of me, she is now in a situation similar to yours..."
Having said this, the Sea Fairy's voice began to tremble, and tears in her eyes almost burst out.
"I...I really...why do I always hurt people who are compatible with me?"
The sea fairy almost collapsed, the self-blame and pain almost overwhelmed her:
"Am I born not meant to connect with humans? Am I destined to be alone forever?"
Tao Yao looked at the fairy in front of her who was extremely sad and blamed herself, and even began to hate herself, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
She knew that fairies were always proud and rarely showed their vulnerable side.
The fact that she felt so guilty and miserable showed how much she cared about Coral and how much she was afraid of experiencing the pain of loss again.
Tao Yao stretched out her hand and gently embraced the sea fairy in her arms.
Despite her own physical weakness.
But at this moment, she was willing to use up her last bit of strength to comfort this not very sensible fairy.
"It's okay, goblin,"
Tao Yao's voice was gentle, like a ray of sunshine, penetrating the haze in the heart of the Sea Monster:
"It's going to be alright. Everything is going to be alright."
She patted the sea fairy's back gently, as if comforting a frightened child.
At this moment, it seemed as if Taoyao was protecting the sea fairy, not the other way around.
"Whether it's me or the new partner, we will be fine..."
"Indeed, I promise you!"
……
at the same time.
On the other side, Hualei almost dragged Xiaohei to a relatively quiet room.
This is a small room with simple decoration, dotted with several pots of green plants, making the whole space look vibrant.
There was a round table and two chairs in the middle of the room, with a few books and a cup of cold tea on the table.
Hua Lei couldn't wait to close the door and turned to face Xiao Hei, her eyes flashing with an eagerness and desire that was difficult to conceal.
She grabbed Xiao Hei's hand and looked at her almost pleadingly.
"Xiao Hei, please tell me more about the power of the Flower of Life."
Hualei's voice was full of urgency and anticipation, and her eyes were filled with childlike curiosity and persistence:
"I want to understand it better and know how I can fully master its power."
"The failure just now made me realize that my understanding of the Flower of Life is far from enough."
There was a firm light in her eyes, a determination that she would never give up until she achieved her goal.
In Hualei's opinion, as long as she can fully understand and master the authority of the Flower of Life, she will be able to help Taoyao gain life from death and repair the scars caused by the power of the sea demon.
Xiao Hei looked at Hua Lei's anxious look, his brows furrowed deeply, and a trace of imperceptible worry and hesitation flashed in his eyes.
She gently broke free from Hualei's hand and took a step back, as if keeping a safe distance.
"Xiaolei..."
There was a rare hint of fatigue and helplessness in Xiao Hei's voice.
She shook her head, her eyes filled with mixed emotions:
"I really don't want to tell you too much. Because I just said that the flower of life and death is more complicated than you think."
Her expression became more serious, and her eyes revealed a weathered look and a warning.
"Don't underestimate the two powers that Xiaobai and I hold. They are very powerful and can overturn life and death."
Xiao Hei's voice was low and heavy, as if every word carried an unspeakable burden:
"But the price we pay is definitely not something you can easily bear."
"I don't want you to bear the price that Xiao Bai once paid."
There was a seriousness and concern in her eyes that could not be ignored, an expression that made people want to believe every word she said.
"That's why I don't want to tell you so much."
Xiao Hei continued, with a rare earnestness in his voice:
"Please absolutely believe me. It's best for you to stop at this point."
"It will do you absolutely no good to keep going on and keep learning about the Flower of Life."
There was a genuine concern and warning in her words, though her delivery was still somewhat stiff and condescending.
But even so, Hualei could feel the sincerity behind Xiaohei's words.
