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

Taoyao couldn't help feeling depressed after hearing what Zhenzhu said.

She wondered to herself, why does it feel like every character in this world has such complicated problems?

First it was Feiying, then Xiluo, then Forget-me-not, and now it’s Pearl…

She couldn't help but wonder, was the setting of this game world designed to make every character carry a heavy burden?

Although feeling somewhat helpless inside, Tao Yao still maintained a calm expression.

She walked gently to Pearl and asked softly:

"You can tell I've practiced dancing. I think your dancing skills should be very high."

"In that case, why do you think you are incapable?"

When Zhenzhu heard Taoyao's question, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.

She lowered her head, her voice trembling:

"I...I once messed up my sister's performance..."

Seeing Zhenzhu's painful expression, Taoyao patted her shoulder gently, motioning her to continue.

Pearl took a deep breath and said slowly:

"That was a long time ago..."

“My sister and I were very young at the time and we were in a big show together.”

“That performance attracted great attention in the Sea Kingdom at that time, and everyone was looking forward to our sisters’ performance.”

Her voice became choked:

"We agreed that my sister will be in charge of singing and I will be in charge of dancing."

"We practiced for a long time and thought everything would be perfect..."

Pearl paused, as if recalling the painful past, "But on the stage, I... I was too nervous, my tail accidentally hit the pillar beside me, and I fell down..."

"My sister was worried about my condition, so she stopped singing. The performance was ruined..."

"I still remember that the whole venue was in complete silence."

"Everyone looked at me with disappointment."

"They said I failed my sister and everyone else's expectations..."

Taoyao listened quietly and nodded from time to time to show her understanding.

She could feel the remorse and pain in Pearl's words.

Pearl continued:

“Since then, I have never dared to go on stage again.”

“Every time I think about performing, I think back to that day and tremble all over.”

"Over time, I stopped dancing."

She smiled bitterly and said, "You know, dancing requires constant practice."

“Once that stops, the levels drop dramatically.”

"I'm afraid I can't even do the most basic dance steps right now."

After listening to Zhenzhu's story, Taoyao suddenly understood.

It turned out that Pearl's self-confidence was destroyed by that failed performance experience.

Obviously, that experience left a deep psychological trauma on young Pearl.

So many years have passed that Pearl still can't let it go.

Tao Yao pondered for a moment, and then she said softly:

"Pearl, I understand how you feel. But have you ever thought that that mistake doesn't represent your full strength?"

Zhenzhu raised her head and looked at Taoyao with some confusion.

Tao Yao continued: "Stage mistakes are very common, even for the best dancers."

She looked at Pearl tenderly.

"Besides, you were able to tell at a glance that I've practiced dancing, which shows that you still have a very high level of understanding of dancing."

"It's just a lack of practice and confidence."

As Zhenzhu listened to Taoyao's words, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.

But soon, she lowered her head again and said with a wry smile:

"It's too late. I haven't practiced for a long time. I'm afraid I can never catch up with my sister's level."

Taoyao couldn't help but smile when she heard what Zhenzhu said.

She said gently:

"How can it be late? I didn't actually practice dancing for very long."

"To be honest, it's only been a week or two."

Upon hearing this, Zhenzhu couldn't help but open her eyes wide and looked at Taoyao in disbelief.

Tao Yao continued, "Although it hasn't been long, I have indeed reached a good level. Many people said that I look great after seeing me dance. So, as long as you are willing to work hard, everything is possible."

After hearing Taoyao's words, a hint of surprise first flashed across Zhenzhu's eyes, and then quickly dimmed.

She murmured under her breath, "A week or two...?"

"Sure enough, Sister Taozi is very talented in this area."

"But I'm different. I've practiced for a very long time, but I still haven't reached my sister's level..."

Seeing Zhenzhu getting more and more depressed, Taoyao couldn't help but feel a headache.

It's so troublesome...

How should we comfort such an inferior child?

Tao Yao pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to him.

She patted Pearl's shoulder gently and said softly:

"It's okay, Pearl. I can teach you."

"I will teach you all my methods, and you will definitely be able to dance better."

Taoyao's words were full of encouragement and warmth.

However, Pearl shook her head slightly and looked towards Coral again.

Pearl said softly:

"It's too late."

"In two weeks, it will be my coming-of-age ceremony. According to mermaid tradition, many distinguished guests will come to the Coral Palace on that day."

"And I need to do my own coming-of-age dance on that day."

She paused, her voice even deeper:

"Although my sister doesn't care how well I can dance, or even if I dance at all."

"But...if possible, I really don't want to disappoint my sister."

Pearl's voice gradually faded away, her eyes filled with helplessness and pain.

At this time, Forget-me-not, who had been standing silently beside Taoyao, suddenly spoke:

“Two weeks seems like plenty of time.”

"Why don't you let Taoyao's mother teach you? What if you can really catch up?"

However, Pearl still shook her head, with an even more bitter expression on her face:

"No, don't look at me like this. But in fact, it's hard for me to even go on stage now... As long as I think about others staring at me, my body will be so stiff that I can't move, and I can't dance at all. And I was not worthy of my sister's songs before, how can I catch up with my sister in two weeks?"

After listening to what Zhenzhu said, Taoyao finally guessed the other party's true thoughts.

She looked at Pearl thoughtfully and asked softly:

"So...you want me to disguise myself as one of your mermaids and help you dance?"

Pearl nodded slightly, not hiding her thoughts.

She said frankly:

"All the professional dancers in the Sea Kingdom know me. I can't possibly ask them for help."

"Besides, the king's coming-of-age ceremony is a very important matter, and they may not dare to help me with it."

"After much thought, only outsiders like you are the most suitable."

"After all, no one knows you. I would really appreciate it if you could do me this favor."

Zhenzhu's words were full of pleading and expectation. She looked at Taoyao nervously, waiting for her response.

This request meant a lot to Pearl.

She knew that this was the safest method she could think of.

After hearing Zhenzhu's request, Taoyao fell into a brief silence.

Her eyes moved back and forth between the pearls and the corals in the distance, as if weighing the pros and cons.

After a moment, she sighed softly and said:

"Pearl, if your sister knew you had this idea, she would probably be very sad."

When Zhenzhu heard Taoyao's words, a smile appeared on her face.

She shook her head and whispered, "It's okay! We just need to make sure everything is safe and not let our sister hear it. And..."

She paused and continued, "This is just a backup plan. I've been planning to practice dancing recently, and I've hired a dance teacher from the Sea Kingdom. But I'm still worried that I'll have stage fright that day, so I came up with this backup plan just in case."

After listening to Zhenzhu's explanation, Taoyao couldn't help but smile.

She shook her head slightly and said in a teasing tone:

"You are such a clever little fellow..."

I have to say that Pearl is really thoughtful.

If by that day, Pearl can overcome her fear and stand on the stage, then there will naturally be no need for Taoyao.

But if that's not possible, then Taoyao is still needed. From Pearl's point of view, this is indeed a foolproof method.

"whee…"

When Zhenzhu heard Taoyao's comments, she rubbed her head a little embarrassedly, with a slightly awkward smile on her face, and said softly:

"But there's a good chance that I won't be able to make it. So I might really need your help, Taozi."

After saying that, Pearl stood up, her eyes full of pleading and expectation.

She took a deep breath and asked again in the most sincere tone:

"This is my lifelong request. I can agree to any conditions. Please help me!"

There was a glimmer of hope in Pearl's eyes, her hands were clasped together tightly, and her body was leaning forward slightly.

Although her voice was soft, it was trembling slightly, revealing her inner excitement and nervousness.

Faced with Zhenzhu's sincere request, Taoyao nodded slightly and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

She said softly:

"Okay, I'll help you."

For Taoyao now, disguise is not a difficult task at all.

She possesses the powers of the poison fairy and the shadow fairy, so disguising herself as a mermaid is not a difficult task for her.

Moreover, she can now split herself into two parts and do more things at the same time.

So, for Taoyao, what happened to Zhenzhu at this time was not even a big deal.

When Zhenzhu heard Taoyao agreed to her request, she suddenly became excited.

Her eyes lit up instantly and a joyful smile spread across her face.

She said excitedly:

"Thank you. I'll have someone bring you over here, Taozi, to practice the mermaid dance."

"Believe me, this is different from the common dance you humans do. You will definitely like it!"

Pearl's voice was full of joy and gratitude, her hands were unconsciously clasped together, and she looked refreshed.

There was a gleam of anticipation in her eyes, as if she had already seen the hope of success.

Just then, Coral, who was practicing singing, stopped singing.

She seemed to have noticed the girls gathered here a long time ago, so she walked over slowly.

The coral's steps are graceful and calm, and its long tail draws a beautiful arc in the water.

Her eyes swept over Taoyao, Zhenzhu, Forget-me-not and the maid, with a faint smile on her lips.

As the coral approached, a subtle atmosphere seemed to permeate the air.

Pearl's body stiffened slightly, but soon returned to normal.

She tried to keep a calm expression, but there was a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in her eyes.
