My wife's name is Platycodon

Kikyo did not argue.

In fact, she was also very surprised. Although she was watching from the sidelines, she had to admit that the aura of the Asura of the Underworld was indeed suffocating. A normal person would probably be scared to death under such oppression.

But how can a human body bear such a terrifying aura...

Kikyo took a deep look at the calm Hades Shura, and noticing the demonic aura emanating from his skin, she pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Suddenly, Kikyo noticed something strange, turned her head sharply, looked frightening, and shouted sharply: "Who is it!"

At this moment, the resentment in her heart resurfaced, her emotions were unstable, and she couldn't keep her composure, so this sentence was particularly scary.

A little girl suddenly collapsed to the ground and emerged from the grass.

Kikyo paused, her eyes turned sad as she stared at the child.

"Xiaoye, you saw it all!"

Chapter 9: Undeserved Mercy

Xiaoye's teeth were chattering.

Yes, she saw it all, this nightmare experience.

If this is a nightmare, wake up quickly.

She looked up at the enchanting and beautiful body of Hades Shura, who was also looking at her. Under that abyss-like gaze, Xiaoye's heart sank to the bottom little by little.

Kikyo looked sad. The child saw and heard everything and learned her identity.

So, can she still stay in this peaceful village with peace of mind?

"Save me!" Xiaoye suddenly said with tears in his eyes.

Kikyo was surprised at first, but quickly reacted. She walked quickly towards Xiaoye, bent down, hugged her in her arms, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Xiaoye's eyes with her fingers.

"Xiaoye, I'm sorry for leaving you with a bad memory." Kikyo felt full of apology and patted Xiaoye's back gently.

"Lord Shura, don't eat me!" Xiaoye automatically ignored Kikyo's words and said fearfully.

Underworld Shura: “…”

Kikyo immediately raised her head and looked at Hades Shura.

Hades Shura frowned slightly.

Kikyo continued to look at Hades Shura without saying a word.

He snorted softly and turned away under Kikyo's gaze.

Kikyo shook her head helplessly, looking at Xiaoye who was gradually calming down in her arms. To comfort her frightened heart, she softly hummed an unknown ballad, and the melodious singing swayed in the night sky and spread far away.

Xiaoye also felt a sense of relief. After all the ups and downs, she felt extremely tired in her heart. She could not resist the endless sleepiness and fell asleep soundly in Kikyo's arms.

Afterwards, Kikyo carried the sleeping Xiaoye back to the village.

Only the master and disciple were still in the state of surviving a calamity. They felt that this world was too exciting. The moment the Asura of the Underworld appeared, facing the surging momentum of the Asura of the Underworld, Qinghai even thought that he was dead!

But he still survived, and the Asura of the Underworld did not kill him.

According to legend, any human he wants to kill will definitely die, and only those he doesn't want to kill can survive after seeing him.

"It's that scary man who actually appeared in this village. He was also the source of the blood energy we sensed before." Qinghai looked at the village under the night sky from afar.

The quiet and peaceful village was sleeping quietly at the foot of the mountain. It was like a paradise without any monsters causing trouble. All the villagers slept peacefully without any worries.

But in Harumi's eyes, there was a ferocious beast lurking there, ready to devour anyone. Just imagining its posture was enough to make people tremble from the bottom of their hearts.

"Master Harumi, let's run away." The disciple's words were full of fear.

"He was a human who ended the war and massacred countless monsters. Rumor has it that the Hades Shura killed hundreds of humans and monsters." Harumi said in a deep voice.

"Let's escape!"

"Faced with the dead mingling with humans, how can you retreat without a fight? All you want is to escape!" Master Harumi scolded his disciple with a look of disappointment. How could such a useless disciple inherit his mantle?

“But…” That was the Hades Shura. They should know each other. If he insisted on expelling the witch, he would definitely be killed…

His master is good in every way except that he is ruthless in killing aliens. No matter what kind of creature it is, he will eradicate it completely and will not consider the difference in strength at all.

Before the young disciple could finish his words, he heard Master Qinghai continue, "However, since the Hades Shura is also here, there is no need for me to take action."

Seeing his apprentice looking shocked, Qinghai snorted coldly, picked up the hat on the grass and put it on his head again.

"Let's go. We are mages with moral qualities. We cannot snatch other people's prey. Let's spare her life and let the witch be killed by the Asura of the Underworld." After saying this, Qinghai left calmly, leaving only an unfathomable back to his apprentice.

……

Hades Shura sat on the roof, looking quietly into the distance.

The moonlight and starlight provided considerable visibility. The village was not very large, with only dozens of households.

With his eyesight, he could see that more than a hundred meters away, Kikyo quietly sent Xiaoye back to her home, and then carefully closed the door and left.

The monk just now was attracted by Platycodon.

The identity of the deceased is not tolerated by the world and violates the rules of reincarnation.

As long as Kikyo needs to use dead souls to support her body, she will inevitably be troubled by all kinds of troubles. The monk before was just the first case. In the future, various characters such as wizards, monsters, and exorcists will appear.

Kikyo knew this clearly, and he naturally understood it too.

The Hades Shura was born with the ability to see through people's hearts. With just a short contact, the filthiness and purity of the soul will be exposed in his eyes.

In the two years since the system was activated, he has chosen his targets based on his intuition.

Although the monk named Harumi has some shadows in his heart, he is undoubtedly a decent person and everything he does is justified.

But his integrity was too stubborn, not well-cultivated, and he was easily broken by his rigidity.

This is also the reason why I didn't kill him.

From now on, the monk named Harumi will die because of the mismatch between his integrity and his strength.

Although there are not many people like this, Hades Shura has seen some of them during his travels in various places over the past two years.

Those in power are arrogant, greedy and ignorant. Bandits and robbers are tyrannical and kill innocent people. Monsters and demons prey on humans and eat their flesh and blood...

Only humans and monsters like these are worthy of his attack.

Only these kinds of humans and monsters will not show mercy when killing, but will only feel refreshed, just like drinking a whole bottle of ice cola in the middle of summer.

But Kikyo, the priestess, refreshed the upper limit of the underworld Shura's view of humans.

He stared at Kikyo as she returned from Xiaoye's home to her own residence, his expression silent.

When Kikyo arrived at the door, she looked up at the half-naked Hades Shura in the moonlight.

The two people's residences were very close, separated by only a wall, but Kikyo rarely saw Hades Shura sitting on the roof in deep thought. This man rarely even lived in the house.

There were complicated emotions in her eyes as she stared at Hades Shura, but she finally smiled: "Hades Shura, thank you so much!"

If I hadn't been awakened by this man, I would have definitely killed Monk Qinghai due to my hatred, and the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Even so, her identity has been discovered by Xiaoye, and she doesn't know what to do in the future.

"Even if I hadn't shown up just now, you could have killed that monk, Kikyo!" The Hades Shura's thick black hair danced, and he looked at Kikyo with a determined gaze.

Kikyo smiled slightly and couldn't deny it.

"But you didn't do anything. You even begged for mercy and pleaded with him to let you go. If he hadn't offended your heart, you wouldn't even have the thought of taking action, Kikyo!" said the Asura of the Underworld in an angry tone.

Kikyo asked back: "Are you trying to appease my heart! Hades Shura?"

When she realized the other person's feelings, she was very surprised.

The Hades Shura looked at her deeply and said softly in a magnetic voice: "Humph, your cold body and hateful soul are not worthy of your mercy."

After he said that, without waiting for Kikyo to answer, he stood up and jumped onto the tree behind the house, then jumped again and disappeared into the darkness in the distance.

Chapter 10: Eating 300 Children a Day

Kikyo sighed softly, looked in the direction where the Hades Shura left, and remained silent for a long time.

Compassion...Does this word have anything to do with her now?

Now she stands at the boundary between life and death, but is abandoned by both.

Neither in hell nor accepted by the living.

But you know, Asura of Hades, no one except you chooses to understand the will of a dead person.

The only thing that surprised me was that underneath your horrific murderous aura and bloodiness, you also had such a gentle side.

Yes, you once said that killing too many people would make you lose yourself, so you chose to come to this peaceful village to recuperate.

You have different ideas and logic from ordinary people, but the conscience in your heart makes you still trapped in this endless killing and confusion. You are worried about losing yourself and going down a path of no return.

Even though I am dead and no longer have the state I had before I was alive, my will as a shrine maiden has not sunk, and I still have the duties of a shrine maiden.

So next, let me purify the heavy burden in your heart and guide you back to the right path.

……

After a night of deep sleep, Kikyo readjusted herself.

She tried to regain her former state of mind and practice, but once a mirror is broken, it is difficult to restore it to its original state.

Kikyo knew very well that her cultivation and spiritual power were not as good as before.

Because she hasn't let go of her obsession yet, it's about her obsession in her previous life, and it's inextricably linked to the half-demon Inuyasha.

The trouble should end it.

In fact, she is the only one who can act freely despite having a deep obsession and not be affected in daily life.

If it were someone else, without a strong and resilient heart, they would have lost control long ago and turned into something like a vengeful spirit.

After she woke up, she got up directly. This body did not need washing or food. Even the dust on the corners of her clothes would be purified by her spiritual power.

"Compared to the past, my current state is more like a perfect saint with no desires!" Kikyo felt inexplicably ironic.

A human being who needs to eat and drink is deified, while an evil dead person is treated like a god.

She opened the door and the bright morning sun shone on her, providing some warmth for her cold body.

She got up very late today as what happened last night still had some impact on her. Fortunately, the Asura from the Underworld arrived in time and nothing regrettable happened.

A day's plan begins in the morning. The villagers had already started their day's work. When they saw Kikyo going out, they greeted the witch enthusiastically.

Kikyo is approachable and humble, and responded with a smile.

She glanced next door and frowned slightly. She did not notice the familiar bloody smell. Hades Shura was not in the house, but he was always elusive, and Kikyo was more or less used to it.

She did not look for it deliberately, but continued with yesterday's work, preparing the herbs skillfully. Some of the villagers were sick, and because they had not received timely medical treatment, they had become ill for a long time.

This is the limitation of the times. Various infectious diseases cannot be eradicated. Every village is more or less like this. The truly healthy people are always a minority. Even Platycodon is unable to take care of everyone.

She couldn't bring people back to life, all she could do was eliminate the pain of some patients, but even so she received their sincere gratitude and respect.

Especially after what happened last night, Kikyo felt a sense of urgency. She didn't know how long she could stay, and wanted to prepare more medicine before she left.

"Kikyo...sir." A timid voice suddenly came to my ears.

Kikyo looked in the direction of the voice and said in surprise, "Xiaoye."

She thought the child would never come to her again.

"Can I still call you sister?" Xiaoye stood not far away, twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands. She didn't look up at Kikyo, but like a sinner, waiting for Kikyo's decision.

When the child woke up this morning, she found herself safe and sound and thought she had just had a nightmare, but she soon realized clearly that it was not a dream.

The sense of security in Lady Kikyo's arms is so real, and it is definitely something that no one else can give me.

She suddenly understood a lot of things, such as that Lady Kikyo was not a living person. Her body was cold, but her heart was warmer than the sun. Lady Kikyo could control monsters, but she would never hurt others. She could even cure diseases and save lives and impart knowledge.

Xiaoye looked at Kikyo in confusion, feeling very sad, like a tiny human being standing in front of an unreachable holy mountain, wanting to repent but choosing to stop because he was afraid to get close.

Last night, she actually felt afraid of Kikyo and even began to doubt whether her thoughts had hurt Lady Kikyo's heart.

"Sure." Kikyo was stunned for a moment, and then a gentle smile bloomed on her face.
