I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

Before Bai Ye could finish speaking, Cui Zi interrupted him directly: "Look, this is actually your prejudice. Humans and yokai are not necessarily enemies, and humans and yokai are not necessarily friends. I just wanted to talk to someone. If you find me annoying, then I won't say anything!"

He's also a chatterbox.

Bai Ye mentally labeled Cui Zi again.

But in her heart, Midori was somewhat disappointed. As a powerful priestess, she was revered and loved by everyone in the human world.

The monsters feared her, but also wished they could kill her. Sometimes, Midori felt quite lonely.

Having the power to protect everything, and being revered by those they protect, creates a barrier between them.

As for how she met Bai Ye, it was indeed a bit of an accident. After the two helped each other this time, Cui Zi thought they should be considered friends. However, Bai Ye's attitude just now made Cui Zi realize that he didn't seem to really want to be friends with her.

Is it really impossible for monsters and humans to be friends?

For a moment, Cui Zi was also caught in a slight confusion, but the next second her gaze became firm, and she had a belief in her heart. She raised her head and ate while looking at Bai Ye.

"Is this woman crazy?"

Even while eating, Bai Ye kept his head down and didn't look at Cui Zi, but several times he subconsciously wanted to see if Cui Zi was still watching him.

The result was obvious. After stopping talking, Cui Zi started staring at Bai Ye with her eyes, which made him feel a little uneasy.

Yokai Byakuya: [Brothers, I think I'm being targeted by a woman. How can I get rid of her?]

Naruto Byakuya: [Holy crap? You're getting out of singlehood so soon? Bro, I'm so jealous!]

Pirate Byakuya: [Who is it?]

Yokai Byakuya: [Midori. Also, I'm not saying I'm not in a relationship, I just feel this woman is a bit reckless.]

Daily White Night: [Yo? Midori, the creator of the Shikon Jewel? You're something else, bro! What are you afraid of? Just go for it! Let's have a love story between a yokai and a priestess during the Warring States period!]

Is it even necessary to think about it?

Why not just go straight to the point and be done with it?

Yokai Byakuya: [Wait, humans die every hundred years, what kind of love am I supposed to have!]

Pirate Byakuya: [Wait till I get you pure gold, don't rush. If you like it, go for it. Why worry about its lifespan? At worst, just put it inside the Sacred Tree!]

Naruto Byakuya: [It's impolite to keep being so stubborn!]

The world of InuYasha.

He wanted to explain, but ultimately didn't know how to say it.

He wanted to date Cui Zi, didn't he?!

When I first joined the chat group, wasn't it to ask them to help me figure out how to get rid of Cui Zi?

Looking up at Cui Zi again, Bai Ye saw that she was still staring intently at him. He asked helplessly, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Let's be friends!

Midori wants to have a friend, a friend she can talk to.

"It's the kind of relationship where you can talk to each other and occasionally help each other, just like what happened just now. And I'm planning to travel around the world anyway, would you like to come with me?"

Cui Zi's decision wasn't impulsive; she had always wanted to explore this world. However, she hadn't made proper arrangements for the Demon Extermination Village, and traveling alone wasn't what she wanted.

So she eventually suppressed the idea, but now that Bai Ye is here, she wants to become friends with him and travel the world together.

Moreover, she could actually see that Bai Ye, like herself, had a lonely soul.

Perhaps both of them longed for friends deep down?

"Father, I'm sorry, it seems I'll need to travel around some more before I can go to your place!"

After a moment of silence, Bai Ye felt that the Inu no Taisho side should still be able to hold on, given the expectant look in Suiko's eyes.

I probably wouldn't be able to help much if I went there now. It seems I should travel around first, improve my strength, and then go to the battlefield.

Moreover, he was also curious about what changes would occur after he became involved in Midori's life.

My friend.

In this world of monsters, there is indeed no one like Byakuya. As the son of the Dog General and the young master of Dog Castle, his status is already insurmountably different from many others.

He is surrounded by sycophantic demons, or those who fear him and the Inu no Taisho behind him. Even Sesshomaru is mostly competing with Byakuya.

"My name is Cui Zi. What's yours?"

"Shiroyasha."

"Hmm, White Yaksha, what type of dog demon are you?"

"?"

If you can't speak, you don't have to speak!

Bai Ye turned his head and stared intently at Cui Zi. Was this woman calling him a dog?

Although it seems that is indeed the case?

"It must be a big white dog, right? Look, your tail is all white."

It seemed that because she had made her first friend, Midori started talking non-stop. Even Yunmu, who was standing to the side, was surprised by how much Midori talked today.

"Midori, don't touch my tail!!!"

"?"

Midori turned her head, as if she had unlocked some kind of threshold, and her hand unconsciously touched herself. She felt that the more she was forbidden, the more she wanted to touch it.

But in his heart, he thought that he had finally made a friend, and if he scared Bai Ye away like this, wouldn't that be a loss?

The reason why Byakuya chose to travel with Midori was twofold. Firstly, Midori's words resonated with Byakuya's own feelings, as he longed for a friend to talk to. Secondly, he wanted to see if his involvement would lead to Midori becoming the Shikon Jewel. In any case, with Byakuya from other worlds existing, he could easily obtain the abilities he needed to become stronger later on, even if Midori's failure to become the Shikon Jewel significantly impacted the plot.

Besides, the Shikon Jewel will unlock the storyline in many years, so there's no rush.

Finally, there's the matter of Midori's formidable strength. Originally, Byakuya only wanted to get some branches of the Sacred Tree, but now that Midori is here, he can easily ask some powerful demons for things.

Since he was going to forge a good sword, he could collect everything he could, so Bai Ye naturally didn't plan to change this sword.

"Let's get started today. Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

Midori wanted to ask Byakuya for his opinion first.

If it were her, she would probably start wandering aimlessly.

"Penglai Island".

Is there some compelling reason to go there?

Cui Zi asked curiously.

“I need to forge a demon sword.” After Bai Ye finished speaking, seeing that Cui Zi was still looking at him blankly, Bai Ye continued to explain: “Every fifty years, the barrier of Penglai Island will weaken, and taking advantage of this weakening time, the Four War Gods will attack this place. I want to kill the Four War Gods and make them part of my demon sword!”

If the corpse of a great demon were used to forge a demon sword, that would be excellent. At that time, I was worried that I was not strong enough to deal with the Four War Gods, so I didn't think too much about it.

However, if it were Midori and himself together, with Midori's strength, the two of them could definitely deal with the Four War Gods.

"So you're using me as a thug?"

Cui Zi stared at Bai Ye with a deep look in her eyes. She finally understood that this guy was using her as a henchman!

"You're known for hating evil, aren't you? The Four Gods of War are indiscriminately killing innocent people. You're doing this to rid the people of a scourge, and so am I. We both are, and we both have a bright future!"

"I never expected you to be such a big dog!"

This guy!

You can tell at a glance that he's a repressed pervert, no, maybe he's openly passionate, but he's just been keeping it to himself.

"Suiko, are you scared?"

"Who says I'm afraid! I've heard of the Four War Gods too. In that case, let's set off!"

Watching Cui Zi's retreating figure, Bai Ye chuckled inwardly. The provocation tactic really worked on this naive young girl.

But I don't need to act aloof anymore; I feel much more relaxed now.

Sure enough, it must be really tough trying to act all aloof like Sesshomaru all the time. It's much easier to just go back to your true nature.

"No, you're just using me!"

As Cui Zi walked, she felt increasingly uneasy, sensing that Bai Ye was up to no good.

This big dog doesn't look like a good demon at all!

“We’re friends, how can you say we’re using each other? Think about it another way: we’re going to kill those evil monsters together, and you’ll eventually have to purify them. Since you’re going to purify them anyway, why not give me a chance to use them? Doesn’t that make sense? You kill the evil monsters, and I take the monster corpses that are useless to you. We save Penglai Island, and the villagers on the island will thank you. You’ll get praise, isn’t that great!”

"Why haven't I seen you talk so much before?"

Cui Zi muttered something, but didn't refute it. Thinking about it from another perspective, it seemed to be the same as what Bai Ye said.

After persuading Cui Zi, the one human and the two demons quickly flew towards Penglai Island.

"Bai Ye, Yunmu is tired. Can I ride on your tail and we'll get there together?"

"no!"

Bai Ye looked at Cui Zi, whose eyes were shining, and refused without even thinking.

This woman is obviously up to no good.

"Bai Ye, you don't want to miss Penglai Island because of wasting time, do you?"

Cui Zi spoke in a sinister tone, noting that her relationship with Bai Ye had improved considerably over the past few days.

I've come to understand that Bai Ye is just someone who appears aloof on the surface, but is actually a cunning and ruthless guy inside.

Cui Zi, on the other hand, is a bit talkative and also somewhat cunning.

"The tail won't work, but carrying you should be fine."

"Hey, hey, put me down!!"

He hoisted Cui Zi onto his shoulder. A fleeting look of panic crossed Cui Zi's eyes. She struggled for a moment, then thought to herself, "This isn't how things are going to go!"

Seeing Cui Zi's expression, Bai Ye smiled inwardly. She dared to threaten him with this?
