Transformed into a pink fairy, I will make all the players cry with my sword

Chapter 584 Persuading Someone to Resign

That bland, almost rude response was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a huge uproar in the hearts of everyone inside and outside the camp.

The surrounding survivors, their faces still flushed with excitement and longing, were stunned by this sudden rejection.

They couldn't understand.

That's an army! That's order! That's the sanctuary that all survivors in the wasteland dream of!

The confidence and composure on the face of the female general Livia froze completely.

Her sharp eyes were fixed on Tao Yao, as if trying to discern something from her calm and expressionless face.

She doesn't understand.

She didn't understand at all.

Silence spread between the two sides.

The hundreds of golden soldiers remained standing like statues, but the invisible sense of oppression seemed to have grown even heavier.

After a long while, Livia regained her voice, and the composure befitting a general helped her suppress her astonishment and absurdity.

"Perhaps my introduction was not detailed enough."

Livia's voice returned to normal, but with a hint of deliberate emphasis.

"We come from a distant golden land."

"Although calamities have also befallen our land, they have been largely eradicated. As for the so-called demonic calamities, under Her Majesty the Queen's supreme majesty, they dare not set foot on our territory even a step."

She straightened her chest, and that arrogance stemming from her immense strength resurfaced once more.

"It is no exaggeration to say that in this chaotic era, our country is the only remaining paradise on this wasteland."

These words struck the survivors like a heavy hammer blow.

Has the calamity been eradicated?

Are we afraid to provoke demonic calamities?

The only remaining paradise?

These words are as distant as myths and legends to them.

Even Hiyori, who had maintained her composure and vigilance, couldn't help but shudder slightly upon hearing these words.

She looked at Livia with some shock.

“I have heard of you…the land of gold.”

Hiyori's voice was dry and incredulous.

"Have you really eradicated all evil?"

Her words already carried a clear hint of curiosity.

What kind of country is it?

Can a peaceful haven truly be built in this wasteland shrouded in despair?

However, just as Hiyori's mind wavered for a moment...

A soft yet ruthlessly penetrating voice rang out beside her.

"But that's only temporary."

Tao Yao turned her head to the side, her clear eyes looking quietly at Livia, as if she could see through everything behind her words.

"Under the scourge of evil, it is difficult for an absolutely perfect paradise to exist."

"No matter how beautifully you describe it, I will not believe that everything you say is absolutely true."

Tao Yao's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly sobering Fei Ying up.

That's right.

Sakura's thoughts raced, and the calmness and rationality of a top hunter quickly returned.

She stared intently at the female general before her, her initial curiosity replaced by a deeper scrutiny.

"Yes."

Fei Ying took over the conversation, her voice becoming clear and firm again.

"If it were really as good as you say, it's impossible that no news of it would have leaked out at all."

Although this wasteland is vast, it is not completely isolated from information.

A powerful nation capable of completely eradicating disasters would not remain so obscure.

Faced with Tao Yao and Fei Ying's repeated questioning, Livia's arrogance finally subsided somewhat.

She was silent for a moment, and then a smile with a hint of helplessness appeared on her face.

"Okay, perhaps there was some exaggeration in what I said just now."

She readily admitted it.

"But we have indeed eradicated all calamities within the country, which is an indisputable fact. Her Majesty the Queen is also rebuilding order within the country."

"We have indeed lost too many people because of the disaster, so we need more manpower now to help us rebuild our homes."

These words sounded much more sincere than before.

Fei Ying glanced at Tao Yao beside her.

The wicked woman still wore a slight smile on her face, seemingly unsurprised by anything.

Hiyori's heart was finally at peace.

She turned back to face Livia and spoke slowly with unprecedented seriousness.

Thank you very much for your invitation.

"However, we don't really need it."

Hiyori's voice was soft, yet it carried an unwavering gentleness.

"Taoyao and I already have our own home."

As she said this, she subconsciously moved closer to Tao Yao, her intimate gesture speaking volumes.

"Moreover, I really enjoy the feeling of rebuilding our home step by step with her right now."

"So, for the time being... we have no plans to move."

These words were less a rejection and more a declaration.

This proclaims the irreplaceable bond between her and Tao Yao, and how important this camp called "Cherry" is to them.

A smile of immense satisfaction, tinged with pride and indulgence, slowly bloomed on Tao Yao's face.

She knew that her Sakura was the best.

Looking at the intimate atmosphere between the two of them, oblivious to everyone else, and at the heartfelt determination and satisfaction on Hiyori's face, Livia finally understood.

This recruitment effort has likely been a complete failure.

A hint of conflict and regret appeared on her face.

"Actually... I still hope you can reconsider."

Livia seemed unwilling to give up, and she decided to throw out her last card.

"I can reveal another piece of information to you."

Her expression turned serious.

"Our nation has been able to eradicate evil because we have mastered the methods that can awaken a greater power in humanity."

"We call this process 'awakening'."

"Awaken extraordinary potential and master superhuman power to fight against calamities and demonic scourges."

"Awakening"...

These two words, like a thunderclap, exploded in Fei Ying's mind.

Her body stiffened for a moment.

The frustration of not being able to find an opponent, and the desire for greater power, were instantly stirred up at this moment.

She thought of those two powerful demons and the scene where she was easily subdued.

If... if I could also "awaken"...

This thought, like a seed, took root and sprouted uncontrollably in her heart.

However, before the seed could sprout, it was gently pressed down by a tender hand.

Tao Yao took her hand.

"no need."

Tao Yao's voice remained gentle, yet it carried a resolute determination.

"We don't need it."

Seeing this scene and Tao Yao's unyielding attitude, Livia finally gave up completely.

She took a deep look at Tao Yao, then at Fei Ying, who was being led by the hand by Tao Yao and had a complicated expression.

She sighed softly.

"OK then."

"I hope you won't regret it in the future."

After saying that, she didn't say anything more, put on her helmet, and turned to walk back into the queue.

She waved her hand deftly.

That golden army, as dense as a steel forest, turned and left as silently as it had arrived.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, without making a single extra sound, and they quickly disappeared into the edge of the wilderness, as if they had never existed.

Calmness returned to the entrance of the camp.

The survivors looked at each other, still immersed in the shock of what had just happened, unable to recover for a long time.

Tao Yao ignored them.

She released Fei Ying's hand and turned her gaze to Fei Ying's face.

Fei Ying's face had returned to its usual cool and aloof expression, showing no sign of anything amiss.

She did a great job.

However, Tao Yao still sensed Fei Ying's momentary wavering and longing from that brief conversation.

obviously.

Hiiro has something on her mind.
