Chapter 534 The room closest to Tao Yao
At the temple of the Kingdom of God.
This place is intricate and complex, like a maze of corridors.
The group of little fairies, who had just suffered both physical and mental blows, looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.
The air was deathly still.
On each girl's face, the unbelievable shock and disappointment brought about by the "stepping stone" remarks still lingered.
They were like a group of homeless kittens kicked out of their home by their owners, standing there blankly, not even knowing where to go next.
In the end, it was the little fox who broke the suffocating silence.
"Cough cough."
She cleared her throat, trying to draw everyone's attention.
"Since they've spoken, let's find a place to stay first."
She pointed to the depths of the corridor, where several different paths branched off, leading to various side halls of the temple.
"There are many empty rooms in the side hall next to the temple; you may choose any of them."
She repeated Tao Yao's words almost verbatim.
Then the girls slowly started to walk.
The temple's grandeur and sanctity far surpassed any building they had ever seen. Its dome soared high, its murals ancient, and every carving seemed to contain the ultimate truths of the universe, radiating a gentle radiance that brought peace to the soul.
But at this moment, none of these things could arouse much interest in them.
Their thoughts had already flown back to behind that tightly closed door.
However, there was one person in the group who showed a completely different reaction.
It's Jasmine.
Compared to the other girls' dejected state, her attention was completely drawn to something else from the very beginning.
On both sides of the corridor, there were humanoid machines carrying out cleaning and maintenance work in an orderly manner.
Their appearance is no different from that of human girls. They wear uniform maid outfits and move smoothly and efficiently without any unnecessary movements.
"Amazing……"
Jasmine murmured something almost like a dream.
"This place is truly amazing."
She slowed her pace, almost touching the working robotic dolls.
"Not only can I not analyze the building's materials, but these robot puppets... their structure, their energy core, their logic of action... all far surpass the top puppets in the Mechanical City!"
Jasmine could tell that these dolls could no longer be called "mechanical".
They are more like... perfect "creations" with independent thinking.
This further solidified her belief in her judgment.
Tao Yao is definitely Sister Qing!
And these puppets are the most powerful form of persuasion!
Just as Jasmine was still reeling from her shock, another hesitant voice rang out from the group.
It's a lily.
She glanced at her sisters around her, each with their own unique expression, then at the tightly closed door, and spoke with some uncertainty.
"The question now is, do we... really want to stay here?"
As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at the silent figure in the group, dressed in a maid outfit.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Lily could clearly sense that after Tao Yao agreed that they could stay, Xi Luo's overall condition improved significantly.
The gloom and despair that had enveloped her, almost to the point of becoming tangible, dissipated by more than half.
At this moment, Hilo ignored Lily's question.
She simply followed silently in the group, her silver eyes constantly and calmly observing everything around her.
She is evaluating.
She assessed every corner of the temple with the mindset of a perfect maid.
The length of the corridor, the number of forks in the road, the location of the side halls, and... the straight-line distance of each room from Taoyao's master bedroom.
She quickly stopped.
She stood in front of the door of a side hall, the one closest to Tao Yao's peach wood door among all the empty rooms.
"I'll take this room."
Hilo calmly announced his choice.
"This place is relatively close to Taoyao."
The words fell.
Hiyori, who hadn't reacted much before, suddenly became anxious after hearing those words.
The tuft of hair on her head suddenly stood up straight.
"Why?!"
Without a second thought, Sakura rushed forward and stood between Hilo and the door.
"Why should I give you the room that's closest to Tao Yao?!"
The atmosphere instantly became tense as Hiyori questioned her.
Violet, who had just been devastated by Tao Yao's words, suddenly raised her head.
Jasmine, captivated by the technological marvels, also turned her inquisitive gaze in this direction.
Forget-me-nots, etc... Almost all the girls looked at the petite maid with a very dissatisfied and hostile attitude.
Despite the collective pressure from the girls, Shiloh remained unusually calm.
She simply raised her head, her silver eyes sweeping over everyone present.
"Any questions?"
She spoke calmly.
"As a maid, I need to be close to Tao Yao so that I can respond to her needs immediately at any time."
"If you're not happy about this, then give me a reason why you're trying to take this room from me."
She paused, and her words, devoid of any emotion, carried an undeniable force.
"If you can't convince me."
"We could easily have a fight."
As the words fell.
A chilling aura emanated from her petite frame.
The girls, who had just suffered a crushing defeat, felt a chill run down their spines the moment they sensed this fighting spirit.
They then realized that this seemingly quiet and reserved maid was also a ruthless character.
It looked like an internal conflict was about to erupt over a room dispute.
The little fox who had been watching the show could no longer stand idly by.
"Everyone, calm down!"
"It doesn't matter where we live! The temple is only so big. If something really happens, does it matter how far it is? Let's all make money together!"
However, her attempt to mediate the fight did not have much effect.
Fei Ying pursed her lips, her face full of displeasure.
The other girls also looked very unconvinced.
They all understand the truth.
But I'm just not willing to give up!
Hilo ignored them.
She simply looked calmly at the Hiiro standing in front of her.
The meaning is obvious.
Either get out of the way, or fight.
Finally, Hizakura huffed indignantly and reluctantly moved away from the doorway.
Seeing this, Hilo stopped talking and pushed open the door of the side hall and went inside.
Seeing the door close in front of her, Hiyori stomped her feet in anger.
But she had no choice but to turn around and choose another room.
Soon, she found an empty room not far from Shiloh's.
Push the door open and enter.
The layout of the room surprised her slightly.
Everything here is very similar to the room where Tao Yao had stayed before.
However, the main color changed from pink to a vibrant crimson that belonged to her.
Moreover, there were faint traces of recent renovation in the room, as if it had just been furnished recently.
The layouts are almost identical, except for the colors.
Hiyori walked around the room, but a strange feeling rose in her heart.
"strangeness……"
She couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"They look so alike, but I always feel... something's different..."
She frowned, racking her brains to figure out the source of that unease.
After a while.
She suddenly remembered something and her eyes widened in surprise.
"correct!"
"No treasure chest!"
There's no such ordinary-looking wooden treasure chest in the corner of Tao Yao's room!
Yes.
Although Tao Yao had ruthlessly kicked him out of that room.
She was still thinking about that treasure chest...
