My wife's name is Platycodon

The real Kikyo would never go to such a point, nor would she do such an extravagant thing. Seeing that he agreed, she smiled faintly and thought that it couldn't be better.

In fact, she has always had plans for Hades Shura. In their daily interactions, she has subtly influenced him and turned him into her own dog (crossed out)... into the most outstanding person in her mind.

Although the Asura of Hades is a reincarnation, it does not mean that the ages of the two lives can be added together.

In fact, Kikyo was also very glad that Hades Shura did not hate the world when he was at his weakest. He grew up in the worst environment for fifteen years, but he did not break his bottom line.

Kikyo actually admires him very much. She can do it too, going through the mundane world without losing her original heart.

But because I can do it, I can understand more clearly how difficult it is.

In comparison, his awkward personality is actually a rare advantage.

This is why guidance is valuable.

He has bottomless potential, strong plasticity, a promising future, is easy to master, and has a sense of self-correction. He has the best self-control among humans, is not addicted to the world of money and can restrain himself in the face of powerful forces. He has a keen intuition and will not be deceived by people other than himself. He will stand in front of himself in danger. He is clumsy in taking care of people in daily life, but he is at a loss when facing her teasing, and has no evil thoughts.

But it’s like before you eat a delicious rabbit, you need to prepare the pot first, then put a springboard on it, warm the water, slowly guide the rabbit to jump into the pot, and while it’s still enjoying it, gently push aside its fur…

In short, you can enjoy a feast next.

"Besides Jialuo, you can also call me 'Crow'." He said embarrassedly.

"Crow?" Kikyo repeated the word. According to the rules of that era, lower class people did not have surnames, and only nobles and samurai had complete lives.

Kikyo is a shrine maiden, but she doesn't have her own surname. According to her status, she can get a surname, but Kikyo doesn't intend to add a useless prefix to her name. The same is true for Feng, who only has a single word as her name.

The same is true for Coral - although the Demon-Exorcist Village is very famous in the monster world, it is nothing to the city lords and overlords in human society. They regard these demon-exorcists as tools who can be called upon and dismissed at will. Although they have great power, they can only be used to deal with monsters. Like ninjas, they can only be regarded as the bottom level, and their social status is not even comparable to that of domesticated samurai.

Speaking of which, even when Kikyo is facing the lords of human society, she still needs to show respect to these celestial dragons.

Only Maitreya has his own surname. His lineage has a long history. His ancestor Mi Bao was a very famous wizard. Although he was not as good as Platycodon, he was also considered to be top human in terms of magical powers.

"Is Crow your name in this life?" Kikyo looked at him with clear eyes.

He nodded slightly, and after the system was loaded successfully, he never told this name to anyone again. The environment in which he lived in the past and the people he was familiar with would only think that he died from natural disasters or man-made calamities, and that his body was incomplete, and had no connection with the Shura of the Underworld at all.

In this era, death is truly a normal thing.

However, he had no concern for the people he knew in the past, because he had never owed anyone a favor, and even in the most difficult times, he survived by eating tree bark and grass roots.

Kikyo didn't ask him much about his past and praised him, "It's a very spiritual name."

Crows are considered ominous birds and scavengers in China, and few people have a completely negative impression of these dark creatures.

But it is different here. It is considered a lucky bird, and many people call it a divine bird. It has the potential to become the national bird. Tracing its origin, it is closely related to the ancient emperor. It is said to have participated in the war between gods. It can be regarded as a messenger between the world and the underworld, and can save the souls of the dead.

His parents in this life gave him this name, hoping that it would bring him good luck and fortune, which is the most simple psychological expectation of the people. But unfortunately, when he was five years old, both of them died of an epidemic, and only he survived.

"Do you want me to call you Crow?" asked Kikyo.

He nodded again, but the name reminded him of bad memories in the past, and his expression was a little gloomy. He had already deliberately avoided Kikyo's sight so as not to let her see his vulnerable side.

Not far away, butterflies and flying birds were staring at this side blankly with puzzled expressions.

"I don't."

Kikyo looked at him with a smile, her expression full of tenderness, "Garro should be your name."

He was in no mood to joke with Kikyo at this time, so he said softly, "So is Crow."

He admitted that his experiences in this life were only because of two ordinary people, but Kikyo was not wrong. After all, Garo was his original name.

"Then I'll call you Jialuo from now on."

"Call the crow!"

"Okay, Garo!"

Kikyo answered with a smile.

He, of course, should now be called Jialuo. As mentioned in the past, he did not have any special feelings for the title. It was just dispensable. It was just because he did not want to integrate into this world and had been avoiding it, burying the name deep in his heart and treating it as an unreachable pure land.

All the discomfort is just because of timidity.

It was Kikyo that broke down that solid barrier.

Jialuo's mood is actually quite complicated, with surging emotions, feeling resentful and relieved at the same time. Now she feels uncomfortable and has a very strange mentality.

"Ahem!" Cong Yunya, who had been offline for a long time, finally stood up to break the atmosphere. He originally wanted to name it, but the protagonist was ignored. Before he could react, the two supporting roles sang the whole show on their own.

It didn't understand the emotional entanglements, psychological changes, and developments, and could only sigh that human beings are too complicated.

It’s more comfortable to be a sword. You just need to use the sword blade to reap lives.

Feelings are just a burden.

Although it has no emotional intelligence, it has a desire to survive. It knows very well what will happen if it disturbs Jialuo and Kikyo, so it dares to speak only when the drama is over.

"I can accept the name of the Sword of Hades, but as a condition, Garo, right? Ahem, you need to compensate me with one hundred fresh souls. Both human and monster souls are fine."

But Jialuo's eyes suddenly became dangerous, "You are allowed to call me Jialuo?"

He pointed his finger at the Sword of Hades, and a force was transmitted to the sword body, causing the entire sword to tremble.

But the Sword of Hades was extremely strong and did not cause any damage. It was just a warning. Cong Yunya felt extremely humiliated and exploded.

It was loyal to its master, and although it was seeking profits for itself, it did not harm Gala's interests. Instead, it helped the other party grow. But this bastard didn't even consider himself a partner fighting side by side!

It was filled with great resentment, and the sword emitted a withered and bleak light, emitting evil magic power. The entire shrine began to tremble slightly, but before Kikyo could move, the Shimenawa and Tamagaki glowed at the same time, and even the eyes of the stone statues that had only had time to carve out their initial shapes of butterflies and birds also emitted a faint light, quickly stabilizing the shrine.

The Sword of the Underworld was suppressed and became even more furious. The sword held in the hands of the Asura of the Underworld shook violently, and even stronger demonic energy rushed out. If it happened in the outside world, it would have already caused a change in the world.

The Sword of Disaster can cause the earth to decay and humanity to become extinct, and this is not just empty talk.

It was not a vegetarian, and said angrily: "You are humiliating me, I won't accept it, even if you are the sword master, the worst that can happen is that we will perish together!"

The sword rang with clanging sounds. As an ancient magic sword, it also had its own pride.

The Sword of Hades reacted strongly, and Garo also realized that he had gone too far. His emotions had fluctuated too much just now, and he got carried away for a moment. He regretted it now, but if he wanted to apologize, he really couldn't bring himself to do it, so he simply kept silent.

But he was not the type to refuse to admit his mistakes. He was thinking about how to make up for his mistake. It was rare for him to have a suitable sword, and although it was not very suitable for him, there was really no reason for him to treat the Sword of Hades like this.

If this continues, the relationship between the sword master and the sword will never be good. Even if he is not backstabbed, it will be easy for a rift to develop between them because of this matter.

Kikyo spoke at this time: "One hundred souls is not too many, this request can be granted. In return, you have to return to the scabbard."

Chapter 21: Future Disaster

She mediated the conflict and did not want Jialuo and Mojian to break up.

Jialuo is young and energetic. Although he appears to be calm and steady on the outside, in Kikyo's eyes, this outer layer cannot cover his inner self. In fact, he is still a younger brother who needs care.

This is reasonable. Jialuo has no interpersonal relationships, no social needs, and is self-contained. She does not need to be humble or compromise to anyone. This also makes Jialuo's style of doing things simple and rough, and she has long lacked experience in communicating with others on an equal footing.

Only Kikyo knew that Jialuo was actually not very good at dealing with people. This was not because Jialuo was inexperienced or naive. On the contrary, he had a sharp mind and amazing intuition. Kikyo had never seen such a strong talent as Jialuo who could accurately grasp the changes in people's hearts.

Jia Luo was born with the ability to see through conspiracies and tricks. Few things could be hidden from his eyes. He could easily find clues and could not be tricked. Naraku did not dare to catch his attention for the second time.

However, this ability cannot make Galao a master of psychology who understands human nature.

Therefore, when Kikyo was with him, she would always take into account Jialuo's personality - he was usually a taciturn person, either staying at the shrine or appearing and disappearing. Except for necessary communication, even birds and butterflies could not talk to Jialuo, and they had no common language. Jialuo was a very competent topic terminator.

But once there is a topic that interests him, Jialuo will talk a lot, regardless of whether others can understand him or not. In fact, it doesn’t matter even if others can’t understand him, because he is just venting his desire. When he has almost vented, he will become silent again.

Kikyo can understand Garo. With her wisdom, it is easy for her to analyze what Garo wants to express. Maybe Kagome can do it too.

He is very sensible, but sometimes he gets carried away and does some out-of-line things when his blood boils. However, this kind of carried awayness better illustrates Gala's willful character.

Therefore, Kikyo hopes that the Demon Sword can understand this.

If you don't understand...

No, there is no if. The magic sword will definitely understand its hot-tempered master.

Kikyo looked at the Sword of Hades and showed a loving smile. There was no threat in it, only tenderness like a spring breeze.

"Sword of Hades, what do you think?"

Sword of Hades: “…”

What can it do? It is also desperate.

It could see that this witch and Jialuo were in the same boat and would not favor it at all.

The fair witch has selfish motives, which is more terrible than committing a crime. Why haven't the heaven and earth punished her yet?

Kikyo gave it a chance and promised to give the Sword of Hades 100 souls. If it didn't know what was good for it, it would first need to consider whether it had the qualifications to cause a death (literally) in this shrine.

One is a priestess who can pull up the divine realm at any time, and the other is the strongest human who can resist the baptism of the magic sword's will and conquer it.

This lineup is unbeatable. It is determined to die with honor, but there is no need for it to die in vain.

Life is not shabby!

The Hades Sword and Kikyo reached a tacit understanding. Kikyo immediately said that this was just an unintentional act of Jialuo, but the Hades Sword hurriedly explained that he overreacted and both sides were at fault. In short, these minor frictions do not affect the master-servant relationship.

The frozen atmosphere thawed and returned to a joyful environment.

Jialuo also breathed a sigh of relief. He and the Sword of the Underworld would both benefit if they worked together but would both suffer if they separated. The Sword of the Underworld must have understood this principle and would not start a war over a trivial matter.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Kikyo, where is the scabbard?" The Sword of Hades intended to endure the humiliation.

As the saying goes, endure the calm for a while and take a step back to open up the world.

Platycodon looked at the branch of the sacred tree on the table. It was a branch that was more than one meter long, and the thickest part was about the same size as a thumb. The trunk was straight, with hundreds of tiny leaves growing on it. They were lush and green, and looked extremely vital, giving people a feeling of vitality.

Although the branches are not large, if all the materials are used, they are enough to make a scabbard.

Kikyo pointed her finger and a band of spiritual power appeared. It swam out from her fingertips like a snake, quickly rolled up the branches, cleared the leaves off them, and let them fall to the ground. Then the band of spiritual power shredded the branches like a sophisticated machine. Countless wood chips floated in the air, as if an unknown giant hand was controlling it, reorganizing all the wood chips and finally forming the shape of a scabbard.

The mouth of the sheath is open on both sides, as wide as a palm. Looking down, you can see that the sheath on both sides suddenly shrinks, forming a concave area that is convenient for one hand to grasp, and then the streamlined arc widens again, straight down, and finally returns to the tip of the sheath. The style is unique, the style is arrogant but steady, which is in line with the reputation of the world's domineering sword.

The scabbard in particular is a seamless whole, as if formed naturally, without any sense of carving, but if you look closely you can see countless extremely fine lines, winding and twisting, outlining traces of nature. It is the perfect embodiment of being amazed at first sight and becoming more and more attractive the more you look at it.

One side of the scabbard is written in ancient seal script, with the strokes being horizontal and vertical, and deeply engraved. Even people from China can recognize the four words "Sword of the Underworld"!

The magic sword was actually satisfied when it saw it. It was much better looking than the simple scabbard of the dog general, but it did not admit: "The appearance barely fits my status. I hope it is not just for show but for use."

Kikyo retracted her fingers and said, "You need to try it yourself."

The Hades Sword was not a bad idea. It did not believe that there was anything in the world that could compare to Park Seon-weng's branch. It was determined to release all its strength as soon as it entered, and break the scabbard in the first place. If for no other reason, it had to give Platycodon some face.

The Sword of the Underworld had just entered the scabbard, but before it had time to release its evil spirit, it was suddenly startled and could no longer escape. All its strength was locked up, and it struggled desperately, but the scabbard refused to move, as if it had been reborn into a piece of dried salted fish.

When it noticed this, it was extremely horrified and really panicked. Even though Park Xianweng's scabbard had a suppressive effect, it was not so thorough. It actually still had a certain degree of autonomy.

But now, directly from the detention center to a fully closed life prison.

It was shocked and angry, and suspected that it had been ambushed. Platycodon had a smile on its face and looked very graceful, but in fact it was cruel and ruthless, and intended to kill them all without leaving any harm.

"What is this!"

Kikyo saw this, blinked, looked around, and said to herself: "Can't move? It seems that the sacred tree is more terrifying than I thought."

The Sword of Hades almost collapsed: "You call this thing the Imperial Sacred Tree?"

It has even cut down the Penglai Jade Branch and has absolute confidence that almost nothing in this world can surpass it. Even the sacred trees of the shrine can suppress it at any time.

Just call out the real god and ask him whether to chop it down or not.

Kikyo smiled and said, "You haven't recognized it yet?"

The Sword of Hades sensed it carefully. If it had a face, it would be extremely exciting now.

Jia Luo felt a little sorry for it, so he reminded it: "The other name of Kikyo's sacred tree is the Tree of Ages."

The Sword of Hades couldn't help but swear: "Fuck, why is it this thing!"

Its reaction was definitely not kind. Jialuo heard the hidden meaning and asked, "Do you know the Tree of Ages?"

"I can't remember." The Sword of the Underworld admitted it very bluntly. It came to this world from the modern times not long ago, so how could it not recognize it?

But if it had known it was the Tree of Ages, it would have definitely avoided it like the plague and run away, and would never have let Kikyo prepare a scabbard for it with this material.

No wonder Kikyo wanted to carve the Sword of Hades on the scabbard of the Tree of Ages, and it also agreed, forming a Word Spirit Contract, and it couldn't get away even if it wanted to.

The Sword of the Underworld was in a very bad mood and was really in trouble this time, unless Kikyo or Gala terminated the contract, or both of them died.

"The sacred trees of ancient times have caused trouble to the world. But the Tree of Ages should have been cut down by the gods, so how is it possible that there is still one alive?" The Sword of the Underworld muttered, secretly hating the gods for being so dishonest and leaving behind this calamity.

Jialuo and Kikyo looked at each other.
