Inuyasha: My job stats have no limits.

But in the end, she was only eighteen years old, and she had not yet taken on the responsibility of the 'Shikon Jewel', which was enough to change her life. So at this time, she still had the cleverness and liveliness of a young girl.

After the villagers walked out with joyful faces, Kikyo looked at Shirai and chuckled softly.

"Congratulations, Lord Inugami, you've gained another group of followers."

Bai Lan did not answer, but silently watched the information that popped up on the profession panel.

[Gained +2 points of wish power from villagers in River Village]

[Gained +6 points of wish power from Maple Village villagers]

[Gained 16 points from the villagers' wishes in Konoha Village]

...

Amidst a deluge of messages, strands of spiritual energy flowed into Bai Lan's body, leaving her somewhat tipsy.

Bai Lan had a vague premonition.

The [Inugami] job is almost unlocked...

The quality may be lacking, but the quantity should be about right. Once these villagers return to their respective villages and spread the news of the [Inugami], the scattered incense offerings and prayers should be enough to unlock it.

Aren't you going to thank me?

"Ah...you've really caused me a lot of trouble, Kikyo!" Bai Lan sighed, and with her Heavenly Feather Blade, she casually killed the ninety-nine toads in front of her who were still crying and accusing them of being humanoid and lacking demonic nature.

"But oh well, being a [dog god] is still much better than being an unwanted monster. At least I have divine status."

Japan is known as a place with "eight million gods," but a closer look reveals that the vast majority of them are mountain spirits and wild monsters, some of whom are so weak that they can't even defeat ordinary humans.

Since the decision has been made to follow the path of incense offerings, then monsters that feed on human souls can no longer be used as subordinates.

Of course, another reason is that this world is ultimately a world that judges by appearance. Ugly monsters have no rights, just like the Ninety-Nine Toad.

In this respect, it can't compare to Jieluo, which is both beautiful and practical.

This guy is very useful to Bai Lan!

As a master in the CCB field, one can't just have talents like 'the root of the cup' as a decoration, only looking at them and not using them.

I'm going to use this guy, Jieluo, to hone my skills!

Moreover, the Holy Grail has a great function, and Bai Lan, having tasted its sweetness, also wants to challenge her own weakness.

-

After leaving the toad demon's nest, it took another hour to walk.

The demon-slaying village is finally within reach.

Although it's called a village, it's more like a town. You can see the towering stone city wall from afar. The gate tower is thick and there are sentries on both sides. Several figures with bows walk back and forth on it.

However, there was no sign of any monster, and everything was calm as if nothing had happened.

But Bai Lan knew that this was absolutely an illusion!

Putting aside the overwhelmingly unpleasant stench of monsters in the air.

Even as a half-demon, not counting [Endless Greed], he could constantly sense the temptations the Shikon Jewel offered him.

If this is the case for half-demons with only half their demonic power, then it goes without saying that it applies to pure demons.

That's probably like a kitten smelling catnip; it only has one thing on its mind: to seize the Shikon Jewel and then damn well make the whole world stronger!

Therefore, these monsters are not planning to come out now, but are instead preparing to:

"A Parade of One Hundred Demons!"

Thinking of this, Kikyo immediately led Bai Lan to the demon-slaying village, but as soon as they arrived at the gate, the sentry above questioned them.

"who?"

"Wait, what's with the monster behind you?"

"Fire arrows! Fire arrows!"

"Wait a minute, I am Kikyo, and I came at the invitation of Senior Quartz. The half-demon behind me is my companion, and he is not a bad person!"

Just as the group was filled with doubt and uncertainty, the leader stopped them and looked at Kikyo's small face for a moment.

"Yes, that's right... The head priest of the Pagoda of Many Treasures, Yae, also recommended this priestess Kikyo to the leader."

"Looking at it this way, the priestess is indeed very powerful, able to subdue a half-demon so easily."

"What's wrong with everyone here?" Upon hearing this, Bai Lan expressed her complete incomprehension: "They're either priestesses serving the dog god, or half-demons tamed by priestesses. There's no middle ground, is there?"

"Is everyone this extreme? Someone has to be a slave, right?"

"After all, I am human, and you are a half-demon."

"So what if I'm half-demon? I still have human blood in my veins. I can talk, and I can be human too!"

-

After the demon-slaying village opened its gates, Kikyo led Bai Lan inside.

However, seeing the fully equipped demon hunters around Bai Lan looking at her warily, as if they would attack her the moment she made any move.

Kikyo whispered to Shirai:

"Don't be nervous. The Demon Extermination Village has been dedicated to slaying demons and protecting humanity for generations. In the process, they have formed an indelible hatred with demons, so they are somewhat wary of them."

Bai Lan glanced around casually, seemingly unconcerned about the wariness in their eyes.

It's perfectly normal.

After all, they have spent their whole lives fighting monsters. Now that a monster has suddenly appeared in the village, this is how a normal person would react.

"Please rest assured, Lady Shrine Maiden... as long as the half-demons don't rebel, they will absolutely not make a move."

"Then please rest assured, I trust Bai Lan."

Kikyo responded with a faint smile.

Following the guide, they soon arrived at the room where the leader of the demon-slaying village was located.

"My lady, you've finally arrived."

As soon as the door opened, a burly man strode over upon seeing Kikyo, completely ignoring the half-demon beside him.

Behind him was a child of about ten years old, who was peeking out from behind him.

"Please follow me. Because of a monster called the 'Centipede Demoness,' the Shikon Jewel has become quite tainted, and I'm worried that it might attract the covetous eyes of other monsters."

"There's no need to worry about that."

"Don't worry?"

The leader of the demon exorcists was taken aback.

"Because you've been targeted. Everything outside Demon Village is a monster."

Bai Lan said.

The leader of the demon-slaying village's face immediately turned ugly, and then he stared intently at Kikyo, wanting to know the truth of the half-demon's words.

"That's right. We've encountered countless monsters along the way, and they've all been heading towards the Demon Exorcism Village."

Kikyo said softly:

"Lord Huishi, please be prepared. Once night falls, these monsters will unleash a Hundred Demons Parade!"

Chapter 60 Can a man become a priestess?

Under the priestess's earnest words.

Hui Shi, the leader of the demon-slaying village, immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and began to arrange for people to be on guard.

After everything was settled, he quickly returned and then led Kikyo and Hakuran to the forbidden area where the Shikon Jewel was kept.

As they drew closer to the Shikon Jewel, its allure for the youkai grew ever stronger.

It was almost like someone was whispering in my ear.

'Come on, eat me, you half-demon!'

"No price is required. Simply devour me, and you will become a pure yokai. You will establish a kingdom of yokai and become a great yokai that no one in the world dares to underestimate!"

Under these whispers, the half-demon's blood seemed to boil, surging wildly within his body.

However, at the same time, human blood is also suppressing the riot of demon blood, and the two are entangled and fighting within the body.

After sensing the changes within her body, Bai Lan clicked her tongue.

"what happened?"

Kikyo, who had been keeping an eye on him out of the corner of her eye, immediately noticed something amiss: "Is it the Shikon Jewel?"

And this time.

Hui Shi also pushed open the door. The room was empty. On the low table at the back of the room was the Shikon Jewel, which countless monsters longed for!

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary piece of jade. The jade is purple in color and emits a faint glow.

"This is the Shikon Jewel?"

Bai Lan spoke softly.

The whispers in my ear had somehow turned into roars.

[Endless Greed] throbbed violently at this moment, constantly reminding and urging him.

—You half-demon, the jade before you is worth plundering!

"Noisy!"

Bai Lan whispered, her gaze fixed on the jade stone not far away.

It can be said that this small jade stone can be called the pinnacle of the power system of this world. Bai Lan even believes that in order to reach the pinnacle, one must rely on one's own efforts to nurture the Shikon Jewel!

"This is the Shikon Jewel!"

Hui Shi’s voice was solemn: “We exorcists have guarded the Shikon Jewel for generations, fighting and killing the monsters that want to steal it.”

"However, in the struggle with the demons, the demonic energy from them also severely polluted the Shikon Jewel. We wanted to ask Lord Yaejiro, the head of the Tahōtō Pagoda, for help, but he refused our request and said that only the priestess Kikyo had the ability to purify the Shikon Jewel."
