In the heart of the cherry blossoms, a girl as beautiful as a flower slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyelashes fluttered gently, her skin as smooth and delicate as the finest porcelain.
Her eyes, like two clear, bottomless springs, reflected everything around her, yet were filled with confusion and emptiness.
The girl blinked hard.
She wanted to see the world before her clearly.
But her vision remained blurry.
Until a faint figure appeared before her.
A slender, delicate hand waved in front of her eyes, seemingly trying to catch her attention.
"Truly a stunning girl, as beautiful as a flower!"
A melodious voice filled with wonder and admiration reached the girl's ears.
"A creation so beautiful, truly a masterpiece of the gods!"
The girl struggled to identify the owner of the voice.
But her mind was blank, as if her memories had been stripped away.
She frowned slightly, and her vision gradually cleared.
What came into view was a exquisitely beautiful face, captivating like a fairy from a painting.
The person had long, bright pink hair, features as splendid as a painting, lips red as cherries and teeth white as snow, skin fairer than snow.
The girl was even more confused. She paused, then hesitantly spoke.
"You... who are you?"
Hearing the girl's question, the beautiful woman was first taken aback, then showed a hint of disappointment, which was quickly replaced by a bright smile.
"Oh, I forgot you don't know me yet... but it's okay, it's not too late to meet now!"
The woman said with enthusiasm, her tone light and lively, "I'm Tao Yao, the Tao of peach blossoms, the Yao of 'peach blossoms in full bloom'! Remember it, and don't forget it!"
"Tao... Yao..."
The girl murmured the name, seemingly trying to etch it into her memory.
Suddenly, a sharp headache struck, and the girl clutched her head in pain, her face contorted.
"It hurts..."
She cried out, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.
"You are Tao Yao, then... who am I?"
The girl cried out in despair, her voice hoarse and helpless.
Tao Yao frowned, her tone tinged with concern: "You don't know who you are?"
The girl weakly shook her head, her eyes filled with confusion and uncertainty.
"How pitiful! Not knowing who you are, don't you even have a name?"
Tao Yao sighed, her eyes showing pity.
After a moment, Tao Yao's eyes lit up, and a gentle smile curved her lips. "You look like a flower, you should have a name like a flower. If you don't mind, I have a name that suits you."
Seeing the girl remained silent, Tao Yao continued on her own: "Hiyakura, that's my favorite name. No matter what you want to be called, whether you want to change your name, I will call you Hiyakura."
"H..."
The girl murmured, her cheeks suddenly burning, her entire body heating up.
At that moment, a blazing orb of light emerged from the girl's body, it was a seed!
It radiated a dazzling light, shining brilliantly, as if ready to leave her body at any moment.
The girl twisted in discomfort, moaning in pain, as if enduring great torment.
"Not knowing your identity, not understanding the meaning of your existence, truly a pitiful child that breaks the heart..." Tao Yao looked at the girl with pity, murmuring to herself.
Suddenly, a sweet smile curled her lips, and her voice became gentle and enchanting: "If that's the case, then let me—Tao Yao, give you a reason to live!"
As soon as the words fell.
Tao Yao extended a slender, pale hand, pressing the burning seed back into the girl's heart.
Instantly, the girl's body began to undergo horrifying changes.
A sinister force rampaged through her, bringing her unprecedented heat, pain, and madness.
Her consciousness gradually blurred, her thoughts plunged into chaos...
"Do not resist the changes..." Tao Yao's voice seemed to come from afar, gentle yet mesmerizing, "Follow your heart, seek all that you desire..."
She gradually let go of her resistance, allowing the mysterious force to flow through her body.
A sensation never felt before swept over her, as if a fire was burning in her veins, hot and powerful.
At that moment, an exclamation broke the silence.
"What are you doing?!"
A group of people suddenly appeared before them, the leading golden-haired girl demanded loudly. Her sharp gaze swept over Tao Yao, instantly recognizing her identity.
"It's you?! The evil fairy apostle!! What exactly are you trying to do?!"
The girl's voice was filled with anger and vigilance.
Faced with this sudden situation, Tao Yao was first stunned, then in her mind the anxious voice of the system, Xiao Xiao, sounded.
[Master, the main characters are here!!]
[It's over, it's over...]
[They saw you using fairy powers, they'll definitely think you're a villainess!]
The system Xiao Xiao spoke quickly, sounding very urgent.
However, Tao Yao softly reassured in her heart: "It's okay."
She turned to the crowd, a faint smile curling her lips, but she did not speak.
Then, she softly instructed the maid, Shiro, beside her: "Shiro, let's go."
With that, Tao Yao stepped away gracefully, gradually disappearing from the crowd's view. Shiro followed loyally behind her, her face as calm as water.
Seeing this, the golden-haired girl anxiously tried to stop them.
"Don't run!"
However, as soon as she spoke, beside her erupted with a powerful aura.
The force solidified, instantly pushing the golden-haired girl back several steps.
At the same time, she underwent an astonishing transformation.
Her long hair turned silver-white, floating in the air as gentle and cold as moonlight.
Her clothes became exceptionally splendid, the layered skirts moved without wind, as if controlled by an invisible force.
Hiyakura's eyes became hollow and lifeless, losing their previous clarity.
Her body trembled slightly, as if enduring a tremendous energy surge.
That power far exceeded the ordinary, even causing the people present to feel a suffocating pressure.
At this moment, Hiyakura had completely lost her sanity, leaving only an endless desire to attack.
She waved her hands, and beams of dazzling light shot from her fingertips, attacking everyone like sharp swords, causing severe destruction all around.
Meanwhile.
Tao Yao successfully left Liuguang City.
As for what would happen next in Liuguang City, it had nothing to do with her.
And according to the original plot set by the Goddess.
The main characters would awaken Hiyakura.
The protagonist Hiyakura would smoothly integrate into the main group, thus embarking on a series of adventures.
