I transformed into a demonic spider lily.

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, like a startled hare, the Red Spider Lily jumped back, her face flushing slightly. She was embarrassed, realizing that the other party had witnessed something so shameful.

but……

—Click!

With the absolute power of her demonic body, the two stones in the other shore flower's hands rubbed together, shattering at least half of them, but she also forcibly ignited the fire.

"Hmph." The red spider lily snorted softly.

"...Whatever makes you happy."

Kikyo had no choice but to say this.

As a learned flower, the Lycoris radiata wouldn't just keep saying "drink more hot water" all the time. Since the Lycoris radiata's body is bleeding, the first choice is naturally a blood-nourishing porridge. The ingredients needed are red dates, brown sugar, and grains, all of which are easy to find and the Lycoris radiata has them at home.

Then simmer over low heat, no problem at all, as for controlling the heat...

The red spider lily dipped its finger into the fire; it felt a slight pain, indicating the fire was still too large.

After a series of meticulous preparations, the spider lily placed the bowl of porridge in front of the bellflower, took out a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and gently blew on it.

“I can do it myself,” Kikyo said.

"No way! You treated me like this last time, so this time I have to get my revenge, I have to get my revenge... Yes, that is, I have to repay the debt of gratitude."

The red spider lily gave off a "don't worry" look.

"I see." Kikyo said with a complicated expression.

However complicated it may be, Kikyo still has to admit that Higanbana's cooking skills are quite good, even better than hers. She is clearly a monster, yet she can cook.

Or rather...

She lost to a monster when it came to cooking.

As a result, Kikyo's feelings became even more complicated.

Just like feeding small animals, the spider lily's movements are very gentle, but the spoon will occasionally lift up unconsciously, causing the bellflower to tilt its head back, and even a sticky red porridge will flow from the corner of its mouth.

Tch, I should have used white sugar.

If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't be found...

The expression on the red spider lily's face couldn't help but show regret.

……

"Thank you for the treat, flowers."

After the meal, Kikyo naturally expressed her gratitude.

"But this is your home."

"Speaking of which, I have another question."

"You want to ask me where I got the materials?"

"No, I just feel strange, where did my sister go?" Kikyo looked around but couldn't find Kaede, so she was naturally puzzled.

"You should have asked this question yesterday!"

"I forgot..."

"...You! Actually, I forgot too."

……

Meanwhile, in the forest.

"You get one, I get one, and it gets one. That's how we divide them up."

A group of monsters gathered around a bonfire. Feng handed out grilled fish to them one by one, then suddenly scolded, "Wolfy! You've already eaten three. You can't take any more from them. If you want some, go catch some in the river. I'll grill them for you. Honestly!"

With a long sigh, Feng didn't know why she had ended up with this group of monsters. It was just that yesterday she followed Tu Bi to settle scores with Lang Ye Gan, and then things inexplicably turned out this way.

"I wonder how things are going on with my sister? Is it still not resolved?" Feng Ke was still waiting for someone to take her home.

Chapter 40 Feng: I'm superfluous, right?

"That's so unfair! That's so unfair!"

In the end, Kaede was brought back by Kikyo and Higanbana. When she learned that she had been forgotten here, the smile on her face, which was happy that her sister was safe and sound, turned to stone as if she had been assimilated by Nurikabe.

...Can you please stop doing this?!

While playfully punching Kikyo's shoulder with her little fists, Feng cried out to the latter, "I'm clearly your little sister, but now I feel like I'm superfluous, waaaaah..."

"Don't cry, don't cry, sister has honey here."

At this moment, the spider lily came over, holding a pot of honey that it had "borrowed" from the bee demons—not stolen! It was a special gift from the bee demons to the old lady.

Can the Empress Dowager's affair be considered robbery?

Actually, the reason for stealing... oops, for making the bee demons offer honey wasn't for anything else. This stuff is good for your health, right? The other shore flower just wanted to use the bellflower as an experiment to see if there was anything special about the bee demons' honey.

That's right, it's an experiment.

It wasn't that I was deliberately taking care of Kikyo!

"So sweet~"

Feng took a sip and immediately trembled all over. He felt that the rich aroma emanating from his mouth was too intoxicating and that it would probably need to be diluted before it could be used properly.

"I see, so it's true that using it directly won't work."

The other shore flower's reaction to the maple was perfectly natural.

"Ah! Are you using me as an experiment?"

Seeing this, Feng could easily understand that she had been tricked by the other shore flower. The other flower clearly knew that there was something wrong with the honey, but still tricked her into eating it.

"Feng, you can't think like that. You have to understand, if you don't try it first, your sister will be the one who gets tricked. So, can you bear to let her be tricked by me?"

The red spider lily is truly a master of "spreading misinformation."

Of course not.

After saying that, Feng understood.

If she bears all the suffering that belongs to her sister Kikyo, then her sister will no longer be tormented by suffering. This is what Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva meant when he said, "If I don't go to hell, who will?"

"Amitabha."

Fengqing couldn't help but say.

"Kikyo, I feel your sister shouldn't be a priestess but a nun. Her comprehension is too high!" Higanbana exclaimed to Kikyo in an exaggerated tone.

"Hey, you should stop teasing her."

Kikyo could only sigh helplessly, feeling that sooner or later, her younger sister Kaede would be ruined by the spider lily.

"Huh? Teasing?!"

Upon hearing this, Feng suddenly came to her senses and realized that she had been tricked. Her face flushed red, and she shouted at the spider lily, "Sister Flower, you're the worst!"

"I may hate it, but you still have to eat the snacks I give you later." The other shore flower smiled gently; she didn't care about a child's opinion.

"Absolutely not, absolutely not, absolutely not!"

He refuted three times in a row, demonstrating his determination, and even solemnly swore, "Even if I starve to death outside, I will not eat a single thing from you!"

Upon hearing this, Higanbana didn't react much and turned to tidy up her things. However, Kikyo looked up and felt that the conversation seemed to have happened before.

Moreover, she could predict the rest of the conversation.

"Huh? What's this? It smells really nice."

When the other shore flower brought over two cups of tea, Feng immediately went over to them, completely ignoring the vow he had made just a few minutes ago. After all, children say the darndest things.

"It's pomelo~ and the honey from before. After combining them, we added a little water. As for how much water we added? What do you think, Maple?"

The author briefly explained the steps, and at the end, couldn't resist teasing Maple.

"Honey……"

Recalling the taste from earlier, Feng immediately stopped in his tracks.

However, Kikyo took a cup first because she noticed that the other flower was looking at her with expectation, so she couldn't let her down. After tasting it, she found that it tasted pretty good.

Since the bellflower had already drunk the cup, Feng took the second cup and gently probed along the rim. He then suddenly froze, not expecting the spider lily's "tricks" to be so clever.

"Didn't you say you'd never eat my food again?"

The red spider lily naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass.

"Yeah, I won't eat your food, but I didn't say I wouldn't drink it." Feng elegantly picked up his teacup, revealing a triumphant, provocative look in his eyes.

"This child might take after you."

They also enjoy finding loopholes in wording.

Kikyo's smile remained as gentle as ever.

However, the red spider lily and the maple leaf had the same reaction.

That was a look of disdain, and it created quite a distance between them.

The more she acted this way, the more doting Kikyo's expression became. Finally, she remembered something and said, "Alright, you've had enough fun. Hana, can I have a chat with you?"

"……Um?"

Upon hearing this, the red spider lily tilted its head slightly.

"Regarding your use of demonic power, I believe you can no longer rely on bloodletting. Using blood as a medium is the worst possible solution."

Kikyo put down her teacup and said seriously.

"I don't feel anything's wrong with it."

The other shore flower replied with an indifferent expression.

"No, I said no, and that's final."

Kikyo's expression was like a conversation.
