My wife's name is Platycodon

The Asura of the Underworld looked around and saw only a futon in front of the altar. This should be the place where Kikyo had stayed when she suppressed the Four Souls Jade.

“It seems uninhabitable here.”

Kikyo smiled and said, "You are probably not someone who has high requirements for daily life."

The Asura of the Underworld snorted. He really didn’t care much about his living environment and he had already been immune to cold and heat.

As for housing, no matter it is the mansion of a daimyo or the bare room of a poor person, in his eyes, there is no difference. If necessary, the Asura of the Underworld can even sleep in the wild.

At least that's how he got here before.

But now Hades Shura was somewhat dissatisfied, but he felt there was no need to say it out loud, as he felt he was just looking for trouble.

Kikyo seemed to see something, and she smiled gently and said softly: "I will ask the villagers to build another house nearby."

"I didn't ask for that."

Kikyo was not angry, but gentle and intelligent, and seemed very tolerant. "I feel that I have neglected you."

He was somewhat speechless, feeling that he had no privacy in Kikyo's eyes. He should have been quite disgusted by the feeling of being seen through.

He seldom spoke in riddles, and was outspoken, and could talk freely with those strangers, without feeling anything, and his words were direct, just for the sake of a brief conversation.

But on Kikyo's side, she didn't feel any aversion and felt relaxed and happy.

This witch is really understanding, considerate, and understands other people's joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness. She knows the troubles of the Hades Shura, and has been guiding and tolerant, but will not cross the line.

"Kikyou, I'm in love with you."

She paused for a moment, and when she heard what Hades Shura was saying, she looked up at him, without any surprise, and nodded silently.

"Well, I see."

"I'm really in love with you."

Kikyo's expression was calm, and she said softly, "You don't have to repeat it a second time."

Hades Shura looked at her for a while and sneered, "It seems that I am the last one to know."

He thought he realized his feelings first, but seeing Kikyo's expression, the priestess seemed to have known it from the beginning, and he was the last one to realize it.

Kikyo turned her head to look at the altar and asked, "Underworld Shura, don't you suspect that I did something?"

The Asura of the Underworld had a cold expression and spoke decisively.

"I'm not the type to take my anger out on others."

He trusts me, Kikyo thought.

"Because that's your character."

She knelt on the futon with her hands clasped together, and she seemed to feel that she had returned to the time fifty years ago, when she purified the Four Souls Jade here that night, and Naraku disguised himself as Inuyasha and deceived her, saying that he would change the agreed time and asked her to come with the Four Souls Jade at dawn.

At that time, she had no doubts at all and her mind was blinded. When she dragged her seriously injured body to the shrine, what she saw was the scene of Inuyasha taking away the Shikon Jewel.

She fell into such a simple trap so easily without even thinking it through. She lost her calm mind and was filled with anger.

She cursed Inuyasha, hating his betrayal so much.

In the end, with a resentful heart, he told Feng about his funeral arrangements and passed away in a hurry.

"Hollow Shura, do you know the hypnosis technique used by the witch?"

When the Asura of the Underworld saw Kikyo in this posture, there was no statue in front of her, only an empty altar, but Kikyo still looked solemn.

"You can tell me about it." When he saw Kikyo talking about this, although he didn't know why, he was actually still very curious, but he lacked the channels to learn about it in the past.

"The witch uses her own spiritual power to enter the spiritual world of the victim. It is not to distort the person's mind, but to leave a spiritual restriction. When a certain opportunity comes, it will be triggered to serve as a warning."

According to Kikyo, those who suffer are a general term.

Many people can be classified into this category, such as those who have nightmares for several days in a row, are haunted by dream-eating monsters, are accidentally cursed, are often subject to illusions and charms, etc.

Because this involves people's minds, conventional means are ineffective and exorcism rituals are not of much use, so special means are needed to heal.

This is also the reason why Kikyo initially proposed hypnosis.

If the Asura of the Underworld continues to kill in the future, his mind will always remind himself not to fall into the abyss.

The human body has multiple self-protection mechanisms, which often take effect unconsciously.

It’s like a normal person wouldn’t walk on the edge of a cliff, would stay away from dangerous places, and wouldn’t reach out to grab sharp objects.

The restrictions imposed by Kikyo only added an extra layer on the spiritual level.

However, since Hades Shura himself had no intention of stopping, this measure was actually just like a straw, hanging Hades Shura above the abyss.

The strength and duration of the ban depended on the caster. Although Kikyo was always very modest, with her strength, it was still possible to maintain it for decades.

"Then what?" asked Hades Shura cooperatively.

Kikyo didn't look back. She kept her hands together, purifying herself, and said, "When I entered your inner world, I knew my hypnosis would fail before I even started, so I couldn't set any restrictions for you!"

His spiritual world was beyond Kikyo's imagination. It had already solidified and was almost indestructible.

Moreover, because Hades Shura always stuck to his bottom line, he had never killed any innocent people. His will was as hard as iron and flawless, leaving Kikyo helpless.

This tricky situation, like a turtle wearing a hard shell, was something Kikyo had never encountered before.

"Hollow Shura, your inner world is like hell, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood that can scare everyone to collapse. You have absorbed the blood of monsters and evil people. Don't you have nightmares every day?"

The Asura of the Underworld was dismissive of this. Of course he would have nightmares, but if he killed once, he could kill again. He regarded it as a tempering for himself, practicing his martial arts in his dreams, so he never felt troubled.

He didn't experience any backlash, probably because of the system.

Kikyo added: "This is your talent, right? If it were someone else, they would have been corrupted by the demon blood and degenerated into absolute evil."

"Although humans are weak, they have richer emotions than monsters. Especially you who have killed so many monsters. If you fall, you should soon have the fighting power of a great monster."

The Asura of the Underworld understands this statement. He is three points weaker when he is whitewashed, and ten times stronger when he is evil. Fortunately, he is not a positive character in the eyes of humans of this era.

Although it has not fallen, it has not been nerfed either.

But he still had doubts, "Why did I feel that my killing intent had weakened afterwards?"

He always thought Kikyo had succeeded, so he never asked about it.

Kikyo snorted softly: "Ask yourself, my hypnosis is useless to you. I am unwilling to leave like this, so I use all my strength to impact your spiritual world, hoping to achieve some changes..."

Seeing the puzzled expression on Hades Shura's face, Kikyo couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that he really didn't notice anything.

Yes, at that time he listened to himself, completely let go of his heart, and was in a not very clear state.

Although Hades' Shura is a human, his spiritual power is very strong. No one knows how it is enhanced, but it is naturally of extremely high quality. Although it is not as good as himself, he is very stubborn and tough and difficult to shake.

"Later, some changes did occur." Kikyo was vague when she said this.

Chapter 51: The only drawback is that I'm still alive

Kikyo didn't know what would happen next.

She had always wanted to reject Hades Shura and had tried some measures to attack Hades Shura in front of Cui Zi's cave, but it had no effect at all.

And even though Hades Shura was angry at the time, for some reason, this guy was still patient with her - Kikyo thought she would be ignored. After all, Hades Shura was as proud as she was. How could he tolerate others showing off in front of him if she hadn't done anything wrong first.

But in fact, after walking out of the cave, Hades Shura's attitude towards him became better for some reason.

He even agreed to follow her back to Maple Village.

Everything was developing in a direction that Kikyo didn't want to see.

So after being mentally prepared, Kikyo remained calm when faced with Hades Shura's confession.

Why did your murderous intent weaken? Don’t you know it?

You have been thinking only of killing, and mixed with other emotions, so of course you will be distracted.

Although this is also a way to suppress the desire to kill...

She was in some kind of dilemma for a while.

At this time, outside the shrine came the voice of Grandma Feng, who was in doubt: "Sister Kikyo?"

Kikyo took the opportunity to stop the conversation, turned sideways, and turned to look outside the door.

Hades Shura came in later, and he didn't have the habit of closing the door, so it was open at the moment. Kikyo could see Grandma Feng coming along the shrine path at a glance.

"It's Feng." She stood up and came to the door. Grandma Feng was standing at the bottom of the steps. She had prepared the meal, but when she saw Kikyo hadn't come back yet, she was worried that Kikyo had left without saying goodbye, so she came to look for Kikyo herself. She thought Kikyo had nowhere to go now, and she might come to the Tree of Ages and the shrine, but she didn't expect to run into this situation.

Granny Feng was not surprised either. She learned all her skills from Kikyo, including the magic-breaking arrow and the sealing arrow which she had not yet learned. The more she studied over the years, the more she felt that her sister was an unfathomable shrine maiden. No one knew how many shrine maiden secrets she had mastered.

Grandma Feng looked at the shrine with nostalgia, "The shrine has been restored to its original state. Was it you who did this, sister?"

Kikyo nodded and said, "I will not go to the village anymore. Please let everyone rest assured."

"I'm sorry, sister. You died in a hurry, and the shrine was destroyed by Inuyasha. In addition, without the Four Souls Jade, the villagers and I felt that it was unnecessary for it to exist, so we did not continue to repair and maintain it."

Granny Feng explained that Kikyo was very clear about this fact and could figure out the cause and effect with just one glance.

"Feng, no need to explain. You did the right thing. Without the Four Souls Jade, the shrine has no need to exist."

"But Sister Kikyo, the conditions of the shrine are not very good, otherwise I will gather the young people in the village to help you build two houses."

Kikyo smiled gently: "One room is enough, let Hades Shura live there, my body is quite perfect now..."

Granny Feng refused to agree no matter what.

"How can this be possible? How can we let you stay in the shrine any longer? Besides, we no longer have the Four Souls Jade, and the shrine doesn't actually need to be restored."

"Although the Four Souls Jade is gone, there is one more Hades Shura. As a miko, how can I just stand by and watch?"

Kikyo glanced at Hades Shura and said with a smile.

Tsk! Hades Shura had no expression on his face.

His confession received no response - it wasn't really a confession, it was just a unilateral notification to express his feelings. He didn't want to hide it and just said it directly if he liked someone. He hated people who would die over love, but Kikyo's indifferent look made him feel a little uncomfortable. He felt like he was making a fuss out of nothing, and her look made him feel unsure. He didn't know how Kikyo viewed him.

But you wouldn't say he was too panicked. After all, he had seen a lot of storms.

Fortunately, only he and Kikyo knew about this, and Kikyo was not a talkative person, so Hades Shura didn't feel embarrassed. Otherwise, if a third person heard it, he would find it hard to guarantee what he could do.

Apart from the two people's thoughts, Grandma Feng was a little surprised when she heard this, "Sister, are you going to suppress the Hades Shura here?"

Her suspicion was justified. Shrines, temples and other buildings, in addition to enshrining gods, have the ability to suppress evil spirits. The shrine built by Kikyo does not enshrine gods, but only has the function of purifying and suppressing.

The Asura of the Underworld is full of blood and has a strange body, so it is normal for him to be judged as a demon by the shrine.

"Oh?" Kikyo seemed to have heard something funny and couldn't help laughing.

She covered her thin lips and smiled, but the lower half of her face was blocked by the wide white sleeves, making her look very ladylike. Only a pair of eyes curved into a crescent shape could be seen.

Granny Feng was stunned for a moment. In her impression, her sister Kikyo had always been a calm and steady person. How could she become so... lively and smart?

"Hollow Shura, did you hear me? Do you want to escape? Otherwise you will be suppressed here."

Hades Shura didn't bother to pay attention to her. When did Kikyo start to like such vulgar jokes? She was just like a child, so childish.

"With your strength, you want to suppress me!"

"You have demonic power in your body, right? If so, as long as my magic-breaking arrow can hit you, you will definitely be purified!"

"Then let me crush your inexplicable self-confidence."

The two of them sang in unison, the conversation was smooth and natural, and they seemed to be ready to fight each other, but after talking for a long time, no one of them started the fight first.

……

Feng had never seen Kikyo like this. She seemed to have lost her sense of proportion and maturity, and a girlish feeling emerged from her body, as if silently reminding herself that before her death, Kikyo was also in her youth, still at the age of a flower.

Maybe this is a good thing, as it allows Sister Kikyo to understand the feelings of ordinary girls.

It's a pity that my sister didn't realize this before she died. Although Inuyasha has lived for two hundred years, he is still very childish and difficult to rely on, let alone a shrine maiden like Kikyo who is independent and mature.

She stood at the bottom of the stairs and watched for only about ten minutes before she felt a little bored and shook her head. She seemed to have forgotten herself during the two people's conversation.

Granny Feng turned around and went back to the village.

Next, she gathered some skilled villagers and built two houses in the shortest time possible.
