My two-dimensional resident

"Oh, I see... Actually, this name is quite nice too. Hehe..."

Although Kikyo had lost her spiritual power, her soul was exceptionally strong. She quickly sensed Lin Tian's inner turmoil and saw through his excuse, realizing it was fabricated in a panic.

I never expected him to lie about this. How interesting.

To ease Lin Tian's embarrassment, Kikyo spoke up again.

"What's the meaning of Lin Tian taking pictures?"

"It's just taking a picture! Uh..."

Hearing Kikyo's question, Lin Tian, ​​who was thinking about when he could replace this "cute rabbit," subconsciously opened his mouth, but he realized halfway through that he didn't realize that there were no electronic products in Kikyo's era, let alone know what a camera was.

So he quickly changed his approach to explain, "You know what a portrait is, right? A photograph is similar to a portrait. Except you don't need someone to draw it; you can use this. By the way, this is a mobile phone, a magical device... You see, click this button, then point it at the object you want to photograph, and it will appear on the screen. Then press this button again, and it will save what you see, just like a portrait."

As Lin Tian explained, he took out his phone, walked up to Kikyo, and took a picture of Xiao Ke under her gaze.

"What an amazing item! This is simply a treasure bestowed by the gods! I never imagined that you, Lin Tian, ​​would possess such a treasure!"

As a priestess living in the Warring States period, Kikyo was so shocked by Lin Tian's actions that she could no longer maintain her calm expression and opened her mouth in astonishment.

At this moment, the girl's heart was already captivated by the phone in Link's hand. She began to fantasize about having a treasure called a "phone" in her previous life, which she would definitely take a lot of photos of her younger sister, Feng.

Chapter Thirteen: Misunderstandings can arise when two people with a generation gap try to communicate.

"Alright, raccoon dog. Let's start taking pictures now!"

"Ok!"

After Li Tian explained to Kikyo what a photograph and taking a picture were, Xiao Ke spoke up. Kikyo, seeing this, quickly nodded.

"Crack!"

"Alright, Kikyo! Lin Tianli! You two wait here for a bit. I'll go back to the tent to register Kikyo's island entry information and then come back later."

"Ok!"

Xiao Ke bowed deeply to the man and the ghost, then turned and jogged towards the tent.

Watching Xiao Ke's departing figure, Lin Tian turned back to look at Kikyo. Her exquisite features, coupled with her long, glossy black hair, made her exceptionally charming.

There's a reason why it can capture the hearts of so many anime and manga fans.

"Lin Tian, ​​what's wrong?"

Noticing that Lin Tian was looking at her, Kikyo's cherry lips parted slightly, and a melodious voice rang out.

"Oh, I just realized how beautiful you are!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tian regretted it. He had stared at the other person for a long time in a very rude manner before abruptly saying that she was beautiful. It was extremely impolite of him.

"Hehe, besides my sister, Lin Tian, ​​you are the first person to say I'm pretty."

Kikyo could sense that Lin Tian's sincerity came from the bottom of his heart, but she thought about how Lin Tian had left without saying much to her before because of a scorpion, and now he was praising her beauty.

What an interesting person!

Kikyo thought to herself, then raised her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Haha, you look even prettier when you smile than before! I really hope you can have a smile like that every day!"

Seeing that Kikyo wasn't angry, Lin Tian became even bolder and directly voiced his inner thoughts.

If Kikyo continues to live on this island, it's equivalent to being reborn as a second person, no longer the priestess she once was, no longer needing to protect the Shikon Jewel, and no longer needing to worry about monsters attacking the villagers.

She can live for herself here.

Therefore, Lin Tianzhen truly hoped that she could let go of all the burdens of her past life and live happily here, on his island...

"Really? I'll do my best!"

Faced with Lin Tian's expectations, Kikyo didn't know how to answer for a moment, but in order not to disappoint Lin Tian, ​​she nodded, indicating that she would not disappoint him.

"There will be no danger on this island, and there are no complicated rules. I won't force anyone who comes to live on my island to do anything. So you can do whatever you like... Don't feel pressured or burdened."

Just be happy every day!

The motto of my island is: enjoy every day, savor life, and enjoy the present moment!

If an ordinary person met Kikyo, most would ask her a series of questions: How did you die? What is your hometown like? What is a shrine maiden? What did you do every day when you were a shrine maiden... and so on.

Lin Tian knew about Kikyo's past and her tragic future. Even if he didn't know these things, he wouldn't have asked Kikyo about her background.

The core idea of ​​Animal Crossing is to allow players to build their own "paradise" and forget the troubles of reality.

Now that Lin Tian has come to this world and become the island's lord, he wholeheartedly agrees with this principle: to ensure the safety of the island's inhabitants and to prevent them from being consumed by memories of the things that hurt them, day and night, every minute and every second...

Paradise? The Land of Bliss? Heaven?

Those are all too high-end and too far away.

All Lin Tian could do was build this place into a paradise, an ideal land far removed from the world!

Because of his dream, Lin Tian didn't care whether Kikyo would notice him or know her identity and past. He said those words.

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he fell silent, simply gazing at Kikyo with utter sincerity in his eyes. Kikyo, seeing Lin Tian's shift from praising her to wishing her happiness, felt a stirring within her that Lin Tian had known her for a long time and was intimately familiar with everything she had done during her lifetime.

Kikyo suddenly recalled that when she first appeared in front of Lin Tian, ​​his shocked expression was not because she was in a soul state, but because he only showed it after hearing her name.

'So she knew me! And she kept pretending it was our first meeting... but she meant me no harm. Why was she pretending not to know me?...Could it be...?'

Kikyo recalled the scene of dying from severe injuries after sealing Inuyasha, and she finally understood why Lin Tian pretended to be meeting her for the first time and said those things.

As Lin Tian gazed at her, her dark eyes also fixed on him. She peeled away the facade of sincerity in his gaze, revealing instead concern and expectation...

'What a gentle person!'

Besides her sister Kaede and Inuyasha who betrayed her, Kikyo found another person who cared about her.

"Thank you, Lin Tian!"

"Haha, no need to thank me! When you become a resident of this island, it means that I, as the island's owner, am responsible for you. I want you to live a happy and fulfilling life on this island!"

Lin Tian laughed heartily, completely ignoring the potential ambiguity of his words.

What do you mean, "As the island's owner, I have to take responsibility for you"? Anyone who hears this kind of straight-man talk would think he's confessing his feelings to Kikyo.

"Pfft~"

Hearing Lin Tian's words, Kikyo couldn't help but laugh out loud. In her hometown, when a man says the word "responsibility" to a woman, it means that the man intends to marry her.

But given Lin Tian's demeanor, Kikyo certainly wouldn't interpret it as a confession. She would only conclude that the man before her was eccentric, interesting, and gentle...

"Platycodon grandiflorus! Platycodon grandiflorus! Your information has been registered!"

Just then, Xiao Ke, having finished his resident registration, ran up to the two of them with his short legs and told Kikyo the good news. He also handed Kikyo a red and white tent bag and a mobile phone.

"This is your tent, please keep it safe. And this is your mobile phone. You can bind the phone by confirming your information in your personal information. From now on, it belongs to you."

Hearing this news, Kikyo was overjoyed and felt a greater sense of belonging to this place. She reached out her hands to take the items from Kyo's hands.

But as soon as she stretched out her hand halfway, she suddenly realized that she was still in a soul state and could not touch physical objects.

"Kikyo, don't be afraid! These are your belongings. No matter what state you are in, you will always be able to touch your things."

Lin Tian realized from Kikyo's pause and hesitation that she was worried her semi-transparent hands wouldn't be able to reach the tent and her phone. So he encouraged her.

The rules of this world cannot be described by science at all. Now that Kikyo has become a formal resident, she will inevitably touch the things that belong to her.

Chapter Fourteen: How can a lone man and woman survive on a deserted island?

"Hmm~"

Encouraged by Lin Tian, ​​Kikyo nodded without hesitation. Under Xiao Ke's expectant gaze, she slowly reached for the phone on the tent.

Ok? !

got it!

Under the watchful eyes of Lin Tian and Xiao Ke, the phone was slowly raised by a slender, jade-like hand.

"Lin Tian, ​​I got it! Look!"

Kikyo happily held up her phone in front of Lin Tian, ​​her joy resembling that of a child who had successfully used spiritual power for the first time under her mother's guidance.

At that time, as the sole heir of the shrine, everyone she met would tell her every day, "You are the future shrine maiden. You have powerful spiritual energy within you. Your mission is to protect the Shikon Jewel."

Having been instilled with a great mission since childhood, she never thought about what kind of life she wanted to live. She believed that her life's value lay in fulfilling her elders' expectations and becoming a qualified shrine maiden.

After using her spiritual power for the first time, and seeing the admiring glances from the people around her, she thought this was her life and was very happy.

Now, after she got her phone, a strange force entered her mind, giving her an epiphany: she should be in charge of her own life.

Let go of the past and embrace the future!

"Quick, open the second app and verify your identity. There might be a pleasant surprise!"

Seeing that Kikyo had taken the phone as he had imagined, Lin Tian was happy for her, because it meant that the "island's will" recognized her and acknowledged her as a resident of the island.

So Lin Tian stepped forward to Kikyo's side, pointed to the half-body portrait Logo on his phone, and gestured for Kikyo to confirm her identity and bind her phone.

Once the phone recognizes its owner, Kikyo will gain a spatial inventory and can even learn crafting blueprints and create tools using a crafting table. At that point, there will be another ghost on the island to help her build a home.

"Ok!"

Seeing Lin Tian urging her so excitedly, Kikyo nodded in response and then extended a slender finger, following Lin Tian's instructions, to gently touch the second app on the phone screen.

Host: Kikyo (an adorable resident of Rabbit Island, in spirit form)

Health Points: -/∞ (On the adorable Rabbit Island, residents possess the attribute of immortality)

Stamina: 35/10 (On the adorable Rabbit Island, resident attributes are fixed)

Strength: 21/10 (On the adorable Rabbit Island, the resident attributes are fixed)

Spiritual Power: 498/- (Residents cannot use spiritual power on the adorable Rabbit Island)

"Please confirm the above information and complete the final binding!"

Kikyo, being from ancient times, had never played video games, let alone understood anything about attribute values. She looked at the information with confusion, only knowing that she was immortal on this island, but also unable to use spiritual power.

But trusting Lin Tian and looking forward to a new life, she hesitated for a moment before gently touching the confirmation button.
