Inuyasha: My job stats have no limits.

So tired, so tired... Sesshomaru is one, and so is Hakuran... Why are all the demons in this lineage so difficult to serve?

The Great Western Kingdom has already perished; where did these two develop such princely syndrome?

Jaken carried the staff with the human head on his back and forth, panting heavily with his tongue lolling out, looking just like a dog.

Nevertheless, the little demon was filled with fighting spirit the thought that he was doing this for Sesshomaru.

Even if he is at Bai Lan's mercy, he can only endure it... as long as he can go to the Western Country and join forces with young master Sesshomaru to defeat the Leopard Cat Clan.

This is for young master Sesshomaru!

Waaaaah... Lord Sesshomaru, Jaken, I have suffered so much for you!

Seeing Jaken's visibly aggrieved expression, Kikyo couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. "Bai Lan is so mean, tormenting the little demon like this."

By the time Xiejian finished his work, it was already dark.

Xiejian leaned against a big tree, his head drooping down little by little, and he quickly drifted off to sleep.

But the next second, a demonic low moan came.

"Wrong views..."

"Waaaaaah!"

Xie Jian opened his eyes with lingering fear, took a breath, and was covered in cold sweat. He had a nightmare, dreaming that he was being used as a servant by a demon!

"Hey, come here and give me a massage."

Wrong view: ?

Enough is enough! Damn it, I'm going to explode!

Jaken, carrying the staff bearing the severed head, looked up at Hakuran, about to say, "I am a retainer of Lord Sesshomaru, not Lord Hakuran. I will never do such a thing again!"

bass!

With a clear cry, the Heavenly Feather Blade was drawn, its golden light flashing and disappearing in an instant. The large tree beside Jaken collapsed with a crash, startling a flock of birds into flight.

A threat...this is a threat!

No! Lord Sesshomaru, come and save Jaken!

"What do you want to say?" Bai Lan asked with a smile.

Xie Jian shuddered and said righteously, "I want to say that Young Master Bai Lan is very insightful. How did you know that I am best at massage?"

"It is my honor to give Young Master Bai Lan a massage, so please allow me to give you a full-body massage!"

"Hmm, you demon-cultivating monster are surprisingly kind-hearted."

"By the way, is my hot spring ready?"

"Judging by the time, it should be about time."

Jaken wiped away his sweat, thinking to himself, "Compared to this, Lord Sesshomaru is truly kind-hearted and handsome, while his younger brother is simply a devil!"

After the massage ended, he jogged off to check the temperature of the hot spring.

Why are they targeting this little monster like this?

Kikyo chuckled, though it certainly looked quite amusing.

"Because he called me a dog." Bai Lan glanced at Xie Jian, who was eavesdropping, but because of this sentence, the kappa awkwardly ran away, not daring to say another word.

"So I reluctantly agreed, just to help Sesshomaru train his retainers."

"How kind she is."

Kikyo said.

Whether human or monster, an unqualified servant is worthless and is often killed or devoured.

In this Warring States period, not only were human lives worthless, but so were the lives of demons.

So if it was just a joke, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Bai Lan is kind.

Kikyo looked up and glanced into the distance. The kappa hadn't returned yet, so she asked about their opponents this time: the leopard cat clan.

Bai Lan propped her cheek up and said somewhat boredly, "It's just about the Western Kingdom. My father, as a great demon, led the demons of the Western Kingdom and was respectfully called 'General Dog' by his subordinates, meaning 'commander'."

"However, Kappa was right about one thing: the leopard cat clan is inherently violent and ambitious, which is why they set their sights on the Western Kingdom. As the leader of the dog demon clan, Touya-oh naturally needed to protect his territory, so after a fierce battle, he killed the leopard cat clan's leader."

At this point, he yawned: "Then comes the much-anticipated revenge scene. I heard that the leopard cat clan has produced some Four Heavenly Kings who want to resurrect the leopard cat leader, occupy the Western Kingdom, and establish a demon kingdom."

"I see."

A ripple appeared in Kikyo's calm eyes.

Leopard cats and the demon kingdom...

If Bai Lan could explain it this way, it means that the leopard cat race's depravity probably far exceeds the scope that can be summarized by the word "brutal".

If this succeeds, then the humans living near the Western Kingdom will have almost no space to survive.

If her initial visit was solely to repay a debt of gratitude, then after hearing Bai Lan's words, Kikyo's actions had transformed into a simple act of stopping the Leopard Cat clan's ambitions.

After we finished talking, Jaken came over and said that the hot spring was almost ready.

"Go."

Bai Lan glanced at Kikyo.

"Please keep an eye on the surrounding area."

She put down the firewood in her hand and slowly walked towards the hot spring not far away. Bai Lan followed her, leaving Xie Jian standing there looking bewildered, thinking to himself, "This is not the hot spring I made, why don't you thank me?"

Unfortunately, the little demon has no demon status under Bai Lan.

"I'll stay here and keep watch."

Bai Lan, carrying the hot spring on her back, leaned against a rock, closing her eyes to rest. Because of the Shikon Jewel, Kikyo was in danger at any time, so she needed to be protected.

If it were someone else beside her, Kikyo would care, but if it were Shirai, she wouldn't feel particularly resistant.

She slowly removed her clothes, revealing her fair and smooth skin, down to her shoulder blade, where a hideous scar was visible, from which drops of blood were still seeping.

Despite rushing back to Maple Village from the Demon Exorcising Village as quickly as possible, I was still entangled by many monsters.

This is the most serious injury...it has already affected his combat ability.

Stimulated by the hot spring water, Kikyo felt a sharp pain in her wound, causing her to furrow her brow slightly, but not enough to make a sound; she was already used to it.

About half an hour later.

Kikyo and Shirayama, having dressed again, returned to the outside of the shrine, where Jaken had just finished preparing dinner.

Feng, unaware of what was happening, also arrived and squatted there, staring longingly at the large stew in the pot.

"smell good..."

"Hmph, at least among demons, I, Jaken, can be called a culinary god! Even without seasonings, my superb skills can bring out the original flavor of the ingredients!"

"Illegible view," he said proudly.

"Jaken, as Sesshomaru's only retainer, what exactly are you responsible for in order to hone your culinary skills?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Jaken instinctively replied, "Aside from combat, I'm in charge of everything within the team...?"

"So you don't have to do anything but cook?"

Wrong view: ?

Faced with Bai Lan's questioning, he immediately fell silent, thinking to himself that he was still useful, but young master Sesshomaru had not yet discovered his merits.

"good to eat!"

Feng picked up a piece of wild vegetable and exclaimed in surprise.

Kikyo nodded in agreement, saying, "It's really good. The radish has a refreshing fragrance. Among humans, your cooking skills are quite commendable, little demon."

Only Bai Lan frowned immediately after taking a bite.

Well...

Do Kikyo and her sister not have taste buds?

He shook his head in disappointment: "Jakan, you don't understand what cooking is at all!"

Bai Lan picked up a piece of radish and commented.

"Too many fibers in the radish, a failure!"

"The fish was overcooked and mushy; it's a failure!"

"The most inedible thing is this vegetable and fish soup. It's a complete failure. The soup tastes earthy and fishy. Did you not even wash the vegetables and fish properly?!"

Seeing that Bai Lan's words were reasonable and well-founded, Xie Jian was momentarily stunned by her professional aura and humbly asked for her guidance.

Do these things need to be washed?

Bellflower and maple: ?

The two silently placed the fish in their bowls, deciding not to eat any more.

"Alright, let me teach you how to make a delicious fish stew!"

Bai Lan, seeing Xie Jian's heartbroken expression, dumped the pig feed and then slapped the ground.

"Summoning Jutsu: Lightning Speed ​​Susanoo!"

The tall, horned Susanoo, dressed in a white coat, revealed himself amidst a cloud of white mist.

"Go and make me a luxurious fish soup!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As a nanny-type and combat-protection-type Imperial Arm, Susanoo can be described as all-rounder, and cooking is naturally a piece of cake for him.

Xie Jian's eyes widened so much they almost popped out of their sockets. He thought to himself, "Young Master Bai Lan, since you have your own servants, why don't you command them instead of tormenting me?"

Bai Lan pretended not to see his subtle glance.

Susanoo gathered wild vegetables and tree bark from the ground, and then wandered around the forest and found some colorful mushrooms, wild fruits, and rosemary.

Finally, he didn't forget to use "Manifestation of Calamity" to violently blast the "Ama-no-Murakumo Sword" into the stream, successfully catching a big fish.
