Chapter 460 Saving the Day Like Putting Out a Fire
The shadows of stars are never a good thing.
I first encountered it when I first tried to awaken the starry shadow of the iris.
At that time, she hadn't planned her escape route properly, and she hadn't expected that the little fish was actually the Hellcat. This caused Karin to fall into intense self-reproach and an obsession with taking it back, transforming into the dark shadow of the starry sky.
Then there's Aurora.
Based on my deduction, Aurora must have entered a brief shadow state during her first transformation.
She wanted to protect her father, but instead committed arson. This obsession directly led to the incomplete birth of Starry Night Shadow, causing her dual personality to separate.
And now...
The story of Rabbit's Return Home has reached its climax, but the rabbit, as the protagonist, has triggered a terrifying and horrifying mission:
[Critical Incident: The Crimson Shadow of the Stars]
Xia Taotao's mental state is extremely unstable; she is trying to find a way to prevent the appearance of the Starry Shadow.
What you fear most is what happens!
Fortunately, Xia Taotao didn't transform into Starry Shadow on the spot. If this completely sadistic bunny had entered Starry Shadow state after her transformation... I can't even imagine what kind of bloodshed would have ensued.
Hana Rin's Starry Shadows greatly enhances her firepower, Alice's dual personality grants her powerful functionality, so what will Rabbit's Shadows be like?
Could it be that a giant hammer has become two poles, and invisibility magic has become absolute invisibility that is perfect in both optical and magical aspects...?
It's terrifying to even think about.
Without time to think about it, Su Tianqing gave Nan Jiayu a look, and the two of them stepped forward together, ready to take Xia Taotao away themselves.
But Xia Youyou, who had remained silent until now, suddenly stepped between her sister and mother and said to the middle-aged woman:
"Mom, what are you saying? My sister finally got to come home, so let's stop talking about this."
"Hmph, you little brat, just like your sister, you grew up to be an ingrate, not a single one of you is any good."
The woman snorted coldly, abandoning her aggressive attitude, and returned to the door of the inner room to continue rubbing the unfinished corn in the bowl.
Xia Youyou turned to look at Xia Taotao, who was completely stunned, and said with a wry smile:
"Sister Tao Tao, don't worry about her, Mom has always been like this... Ah, Sister Tao Tao, where have you been all these years? Can... can you tell me about it?"
The petite girl, looking like she wanted to comfort her older sister, spoke timidly.
Even after all these years, Xia Youyou still harbors a deep longing for her older sister.
Xia Taotao seemed to have recovered slightly from her shock. She pursed her lips and remained silent, staring blankly at the children who ran out of the restaurant after finishing their meal, unsure of what to say.
"Sister—" "What fun things did you bring back today, sister?" "I want to play with those little plastic cards from last time!"
The children surrounded the two of them, asking Xia Youyou questions while curiously observing Xia Taotao.
It wasn't until Su Tianqing and Nan Jiayu appeared at the door that Xia Youyou looked curiously at the two strangers outside, and Xia Taotao finally realized what was going on:
"Tao Tao~ Were you... arguing just now?" Su Tianqing asked in a low voice.
During the last teaching session, she appeared as a dandelion, and Xia Youyou didn't know who she was. This gave her the opportunity to freely reveal herself to the cat and rabbit.
"Hmm? Are you two friends of Sister Tao Tao?" The rabbit girl tilted her head curiously, her rabbit ears twitching twice on top of her head.
.
The group sat in front of a newly opened Mixue Ice Cream store on the next street.
Xia Youyou carried the milk tea to the group, and Su Tianqing quickly accepted it with a smile.
"Thank you, Youyou~ Wow, it's so warm! I wonder what milk tea tastes like in the North. I've never had it before."
"It should taste similar to what you get in Chengdu. Ah, thank you."
Nan Jiayu accepted the milk tea she had ordered and smiled as she thanked Xia Youyou.
The latter's cheeks flushed slightly, probably because she had never been thanked like this before. She was momentarily speechless, scratching her rabbit ears and grinning sheepishly as she replied:
"Well, hehe... although I've never had it before, I think it should taste pretty much the same everywhere..."
"Oh, speaking of which, thank you for the milk tea, Sister Tianqing!"
"You're welcome~" Su Tianqing replied with a smile.
Check out? Of course, this fox will pay! Xia Youyou, who can be bought off with just a cup of Mixue Ice Cream, is just too easy to please.
"Speaking of which, Tao Tao, did you just have a fight with your mother?"
After taking a sip of the bubble tea in her hand, which used the same formula all over the country, Su Tianqing tentatively asked a question.
Xia Taotao sat there listlessly, nodding dejectedly.
"yes……"
"Actually, I knew it might be like this... but when I truly realized it, I still felt... very upset."
"Um... if you'd like, could you talk to us? Everyone's quite worried about you." Su Tianqing decided to be cautious and continue to probe.
He was truly terrified by the life-threatening incident involving the secret manual.
Every time it utters the word "dangerous," it invariably signifies a terrifying incident where a single misstep could lead to an abyss.
Not to mention that this time she was directly warned that Xia Taotao was at great risk of falling into the Shadow of Stars, Su Tianqing really didn't dare to use this matter for amusement.
It's easy to get yourself into trouble.
"At that time, I only had one thought in my mind: I wanted to cure Youyou's illness."
Xia Taotao said softly.
"I sold everything I could at that time, even a Guardian Star that I had found before, I sold it to a merchant in the city."
"But I still didn't have enough money, so I... took some money from home."
"But I never expected... me... Hua Hua and Mi Mi... they actually..."
"It's all because of me... It's all, it's all my fault..."
"I can't do anything... I can't protect anyone... Waaah..."
The girl clutched her head in anguish, lowered her head, and let out a low, mournful sob.
"elder sister……"
Xia Youyou also showed a sad expression, gently patting her sister's back to comfort her, but she couldn't say anything more comforting.
Seeing the two sisters' expressions, Su Tianqing's mood didn't improve either, so she could only try her best to comfort them.
"This isn't your fault, Tao Tao. You saved Youyou's life. If it weren't for you, Youyou might not have made it through that night," Su Tianqing replied.
"Yes, Sister Tianqing is right, Sister Taotao will always be the greatest hero in my heart!"
Xia Youyou quickly chimed in, trying to cheer Xia Taotao up.
From Xia Youyou's words, Su Tianqing learned who Huahua and Mimi really were—they were two other younger sisters of her generation.
After Xia Taotao used the money to treat Xia Youyou, coupled with her father's leg injury, the family fell into a serious financial crisis and had no choice but to send her two younger sisters away.
"Actually, Mom has always been like that, as you know, sister. Dad also often talks about the curse of bloodlines and such, but what can we do?"
"Yes...we...have no other way..."
Xia Taotao said painfully.
The rabbits' reproductive diseases have determined this sad state of affairs, and they are powerless to change it.
"No, no, Tao Tao, we're not without options!"
Su Tianqing's words were inserted into the sisters' conversation at the right time, causing them to look up at her at the same time.
"Sunny?... "Sister Sunny?"
Both of them wore expressions of confusion, especially the former, whose complex emotions were heartbreaking.
Tao Tao is only a freshman in college, but she was forced to experience such a life-and-death separation, which makes it impossible for her to have any other thoughts.
But now, even if it means lying, I must bring Xia Taotao back to her senses and prevent her from sliding further into the abyss of starlight and shadow!
"You probably don't know this yet, Tao Tao."
Su Tianqing said,
"—Regarding the reproductive diseases of rabbits, an experimental treatment plan is now available!"
Su Tianqing wailed inwardly and apologized to the distant Inari:
I'm so sorry, Ms. Inari! I absolutely didn't mean to!
