My two-dimensional resident

Litao was baffled; a soulless body was somehow still possessing instinctive consciousness. She withdrew her hands and pondered for several minutes. She still couldn't figure out why.

Just as she was about to use her magic to destroy the failed artifact, she suddenly sensed that several of her terracotta warriors had disappeared.

Her terracotta warriors were all made from the souls of powerful warriors. The fact that several died so quickly suggests the appearance of a powerful mage or monster.

Realizing that someone had trespassed on her territory, she abandoned her plan to destroy the failed artifact and placed it on a nearby stone block. Then she turned and walked out of the cave.

They prepared to drive out or kill the invaders and turn them into new terracotta soldiers.

Chapter 196 My Girlfriend Actually Has Ashes

"Platycodon grandiflorus?"

Rita, hovering in the sky, looked down at the girl surrounded by terracotta figures, who looked exactly like her failed creation. She was stunned for a moment, then realized why she hadn't summoned Kikyo's soul.

"So Kikyo has already been reincarnated. But to deliver herself to my door so quickly, isn't this just fulfilling my wish?"

She immediately rushed towards the girl at her feet. Before the girl could react, she pulled her into her arms.

"Ah! Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?"

Suddenly, Kagome was carried high into the sky by an ugly old hag, and the girl screamed in panic.

However, Li Tao ignored the girl's question and turned to fly towards the cave.

......

"That is!"

Lin Tian moved very quickly, arriving at the location indicated by Kikyo in about ten minutes. The two, high in the sky, immediately spotted Rito's figure.

Kikyo gasped in surprise when she saw Ura holding a girl who looked exactly like her. She couldn't believe she had met her reincarnation so soon.

"It's Kagome!"

Kikyo is right in my arms, so why is there a Kagome who is Kikyo's reincarnation in this world?

Lin Tian could understand situations like those involving Yori and Shinobu. But even his extraordinary mind couldn't comprehend this one. He could only attribute it to the island's will and Gaia of this world.

Do you want to see him?

Lin Tian shifted his gaze from Kagome to Kikyo's face and asked, "Since Kagome is here, then Inuyasha must be nearby too. Even her sister, Kaede, is here."

"No. Put me in a secluded place. Go and rescue Kagome, and kill that priestess. As for the spirit bones, please keep them for me; you don't need to bring them back. Just leave them with Kaede..."

Kikyo looked at Kagome with a complicated expression, and after a moment of contemplation, she gave Lin Tian some instructions.

"it is good!"

Lin Tian didn't say anything more. He glanced around and found that the nearby hillside was covered with lush trees, which was a good place for Kikyo to hide. He then activated the Flame-Flame Fruit's power and flew towards it.

After setting Kikyo down, Lin Tian flew into the sky again, heading towards Rito's location. When he arrived at the cave entrance where Rito was, she was just dragging the failed creation made from Kikyo's spirit bones toward Kagome, preparing to extract Kagome's soul to complete her puppet creation.

"what!"

Along the way, Kagome had already learned from Rito why she had been captured. Then she saw someone who looked exactly like her appear before her.

She quickly realized that this was a terracotta figurine made from the spirit bones of the terracotta figurine Kikyo, and that Rito was about to use evil magic to extract the soul from her body.

With Inuyasha not around, Kagome knew her situation was extremely critical. She tried to struggle and escape, but she couldn't break through the opponent's magic. She watched in despair as Rito walked towards her step by step.

Please, no!

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is God's arrangement. Fate has brought me to Kikyo. How could I possibly let you go?"

Rito approached Kagome with a sinister smile and, without saying a word, began to cast a soul transfer spell.

But just as she raised her hands to begin channeling her spiritual energy, a flame as thick as a finger burst forth from her chest. Before she could react, another flame pierced through her arm.

Then, to Kagome's horrified expression, countless pillars of fire struck her body, instantly rendering her immobile and stripping her of all abilities. However, these pillars of fire did not kill her immediately.

She was left with her last vestiges of consciousness. But she couldn't turn back to find out who had defeated her so silently.

"what!"

As the villain who was about to extract her soul was pinned there by countless pillars of fire, Kagome covered her red lips and screamed. The sudden turn of events made her momentarily unaware that the spell Rita had cast on her had vanished.

"I didn't want to contact you. But you did the worst thing you could have done. When you do something wrong, you have to pay the price."

Lin Tian landed in front of Li Tao, ignoring the other's terrified expression. He suppressed his inner rage and the desire to tear the other apart, and said in a deep voice.

"you..."

The pillar of fire piercing through her body was devouring her spiritual power and soul. Rito stared in horror at the man before her, her mind racing, frantically trying to recall when she had offended such a powerful figure.

Romance

"Never mind, I originally wanted you to slowly savor death in despair, but time is limited."

Sensing Inuyasha and the others approaching from afar using his Observation Haki, Lin Tian sighed inwardly. With a wave of his arm, raging flames enveloped the terracotta figurine beside Uta.

In an instant, the terracotta figurine burst into flames. Its humanoid body began to crumble and disintegrate. Only a pile of ashes remained, which, driven by the flames, coalesced into an egg-sized sphere and slowly flew into Lin Tian's hand.

"No!"

Seeing his greatest work about to be created, only to have it burned by Lin Tian, ​​Li Tao roared ferociously.

"Now, you too, go on your way. Vanish, along with your filthy soul."

Lin Tian didn't look at Li Tao. With a thought, the fire pillars stuck in Li Tao's body began to burn, engulfing her body into a human-shaped fireball.

The fireball burned quickly and dissipated just as fast, leaving no ash on the ground.

"Thank you for saving me. May I ask who you are?"

Seeing how cleanly and efficiently Lin Tian killed the old witch who wanted to kill her, Kagome walked shakily to Lin Tian's side and cautiously asked...

Only then did she see Lin Tian's face clearly. Looking at his melancholy eyes and handsome face, Ge Wei's face flushed.

Lin Tian ignored the reincarnation of Kikyo. He stared heavily at the sphere formed from Kikyo's spirit bone in his hand and sighed with reluctance.

In the end, he decided to listen to Kikyo and leave it to Kaede.

With a thought, he took out a black lacquered box with golden spider lily patterns outlined in gold thread from his spatial backpack, carefully opened the box, and placed the spirit bone ball on the red cloth inside.

"Give this to Feng for me. If anything goes wrong, you'll have to atone for it like Li Tao did."

Although Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyo, she is not his Kikyo after all. Lin Tian felt no pity for this girl who looked exactly like Kikyo. After covering it with black, he placed it in Kagome's hand, while coldly threatening her.

"I promise, nothing will go wrong!"

Startled by Lin Tian's threat, Kagome quickly remembered that he had saved her. She also realized that the contents of the box must be the spirit bones of Kagome, Granny Kaede's sister. Kind-hearted, she nodded hastily, assuring Lin Tian.

"This thing is somewhat connected to you, but it doesn't belong to you. I'm taking it with me. You don't need to collect any more fragments."

With that, Lin Tian removed half of the Shikon Jewel from Kagome's chest. Before Kagome could react, he vanished from her sight in a flash.

Chapter 197 The Matter of Me Losing My Things and Feeling Completely Justified

"Huh? My Shikon Jewel!"

Kagome looked blankly at the lacquer box in her hand, then touched her chest and realized that the Shikon Jewel was gone. Her expression changed drastically.

She then realized that it was the handsome man who had just saved her who had taken him away. She anxiously looked up, trying to find Lin Tian, ​​but he had vanished without a trace.

"What?! He was a thief! He stole the Shikon Jewel, what should I do?"

"Kagome!"

"Miss Kagome!"

Just as Kagome was regretting that she hadn't stopped Lin Tian, ​​Inuyasha, Shippo, and Granny Kaede ran towards her from a distance.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome's face lit up with joy upon seeing them, and she waved her arm out. But then her expression turned awkward.

'What should I do? If Inuyasha finds out, he'll explode again...'

"Are you alright? What about the one who kidnapped the priestess?"

When Inuyasha and the others arrived at Kagome's side, they were surprised to see her standing there unharmed. Shippo immediately threw himself into Kagome's arms, and Inuyasha looked around and asked...

"She died. She was killed by a handsome guy who fell from the sky."

At this moment, Kagome hadn't figured out how to explain the Shikon Jewel. She casually said something and walked past Inuyasha to stand in front of Granny Kaede.

He handed over the lacquer box, then thought for a moment before speaking.

“The old witch named Rito made a terracotta figurine that looked exactly like me from Kikyo’s spirit bones. The person who saved me burned the figurine, then put the spirit bones away again and asked me to give them to you.”

"Grandma Kaede, that person seems to know Kikyo and you. But he looks very young. Do you remember any yokai that can use fire and fly?"

Recalling the scene of Lin Tian threatening her, Kagome gritted her teeth. She only now realized that Lin Tian hadn't come specifically to save her; he was after Kikyo's spirit bone. Saving her was just a side effect.

Feng's expression turned solemn as she looked at the lacquer box inlaid with golden bellflowers in Kagome's hand. She tucked her cane under her arm, cupped the black box containing her sister's spirit bones in her hands, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"No... I don't remember my sister and I having any demon friends who could use fire. My sister's only demon friend was the half-demon Inuyasha."

Feng wanted to open the lacquer box to see the spirit bone inside, but after opening the lid halfway, she hesitated. In the end, she closed the lacquer box again and carefully put it inside her clothes.

When Kagome mentioned the monster, Kaede recalled her childhood, and after confirming that there was no such monster, she shook her head and said...

"A yokai? Kagome, I don't smell any other yokai."

Inuyasha squatted down where Uta had been burned to death, sniffed carefully, and then spoke.

"It's the aura of a human. Completely unfamiliar. The residual power here isn't spiritual or demonic; I've never seen such power before..."

Inuyasha stood up with a puzzled look on his face, walked to Kagome and Kaede's side, stared at Kagome with his eyes fixed on her, and twitched his two dog ears a few times. He suspected that Kagome was under a spell and talking nonsense.

"A human? He's so young. But how does he know about Granny Kaede and Kikyo?" Kagome pressed her finger to her lips, puzzled, upon hearing that the handsome man who saved her wasn't a demon but a human.

"Kagome! Where is the Shikon Jewel?"

"Ah! This...that...it's been stolen."

Kagome smiled awkwardly as she explained that the matter of the Shikon Jewel had been discovered.

"What! You actually lost the Shikon Jewel!"

Upon hearing that the Shikon Jewel, which he had painstakingly collected, had been stolen, Inuyasha immediately flew into a rage, glaring angrily at Kagome.

"How dare you yell at me! Sit down."

Kagome was instantly enraged when she saw Inuyasha pointing a finger at her. She yelled and used her incantation to make Inuyasha lie on the ground.
