I transformed into a demonic spider lily.

“But I feel that even if you all combine your strength, you still can’t beat Kikyo-neechan.” Feng felt she should say something, but as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yukiji’s abyss-like eyes staring intently at her, so she quickly added, “But I can help you block Kikyo-neechan’s arrows, which will at least quadruple your chances of winning.”

You betrayed us so quickly.

The red spider lily suddenly had nothing to say.

"Come on, let's play another game of chess. Anyway, don't worry, if anyone dares to say anything bad about you, I will definitely stand up for you."

"Oh~"

Since the previous game had been overturned by the desktop cleanup master Yukiji, they had to start over. Yukiji's idea was that since Higanbana was in a bad mood, she should let her opponent win a few more games.

result……

She's going to win.

Xuelu stared blankly at the chessboard, not expecting that Biyanhua would completely disregard defense this time, playing almost without thinking, clearly just making random moves against her.

No, no, she can't win.

After thinking for a moment, Xuelu decided to block all the remaining moves of the Higanbana, forcing the opponent to form a five-in-a-row.

So, a quarter of an hour later...

Looking at the black and white pieces scattered on the chessboard, she was forced to form a five-in-a-row and win. Yukiji finally won a game, but she felt even worse than if she had lost.

I wanted to lose, but I didn't.

Isn't that a kind of loss?

"Oh no, I actually lost," the spider lily said in a praising tone.

Xueji felt like she was being mocked.

"Ah, Yukiji-neechan is so amazing."

Feng also decided to get involved.

...How ruthless!

Yukiji instinctively clutched her chest, but instead of feeling any warmth, she felt an icy chill, like a steel plate. Unexpectedly, even Nako had abandoned her.

Three strikes in one second, each one fatal.

—Bang!

Just then, the door to the house was pushed open, and Kikyo stood panting in front of it. Her expression was tense, and her gaze swept back and forth between Kaede, Yukiji, and Higanbana before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Failed! .jpg

Chapter 74 No Going Back!

"Phew, so you're all alright."

Kikyo leaned against the door frame, let out a long sigh, and finally revealed a relieved smile. Her breathing gradually calmed down, and even her right hand, which was tightly gripping the longbow, couldn't help but loosen.

Why do you think something's wrong with us?

Xue Lu remained seated and asked the question.

"I... I'm just a little worried."

Kikyo explained it this way.

The reason was that on her way back, Kikyo suddenly saw a group of horses fleeing from the direction of the village, and there was a faint smell of blood. So she hurriedly rode back, only to find that the village was unharmed.

However, a large crowd of villagers still gathered in front of the village. For some reason, none of them dared to step into the village until they saw her return. They then surrounded her, saying that a group of robbers had just come by, and then...

No one said what came next.

The villagers hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back, and finally forgot what to say, turning their words into sighs that were hard to express, before looking back at Kikyo's house.

Given the scene described above, Kikyo couldn't help but overthink things. She assumed something had happened to her family and rushed back anxiously, which led to the opening line.

"Sister, you must be very tired after just getting back. Let me help you pack your things."

Suddenly, Kaede stepped forward and removed Kikyo's equipment, putting all the arrows away. She then gave Yukiji an "OK" sign and ran out the door in a flash.

Mission accomplished, time to go!

Kikyo was surprised by Kaede's diligence today. Although she felt a little strange, she didn't think anything of it. She was sure her sister wouldn't do anything to her.

“Actually, I think you really should worry about someone.” Yukiji secretly winked at Kikyo, signaling her to pay attention to the reaction of the spider lily.

Upon hearing this, Kikyo's gaze fell on the spider lily, who turned her head away, rested her chin on her hand, and kept playing with a white chess piece between her fingertips, clearly trying to distract herself. At least the way she was avoiding attention was very suspicious.

The lingering stench of blood and the thick demonic aura outside the village clearly indicated that the other party had used sorcery, coupled with the strange behavior of the villagers.

It was so obvious that Kikyo could not possibly be unaware of the situation, so she walked step by step toward the spider lily. Yukiji nervously took out two white talismans to break up the fight, while Kaede stood outside, observing the situation inside through the window.

The red spider lily clenched the chess piece in her hand, as if she would crush it in the next instant. Just as Kikyo stood beside her, she suddenly hugged her and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Thank you, flower, thank you so much! If it weren't for you today, I'm afraid there would be nothing left when I came back. Kaede is my only family. If something happened to her, I really don't know what I would do. So, thank you so much!"

Holding the body of the spider lily in her arms, Kikyo kept saying "Arigato" to her. Kaede, who was standing outside the house, breathed a sigh of relief. If the other side had really started fighting, she really didn't know whether she should return the bow and arrow to her sister.

Seeing this, Xueji smiled with relief. This was the normal development. He wondered what Higanbana was worried about. Were all youkai so cautious?

The person involved, Higanbana, felt Kikyo's body temperature and her demon body being bound by Kikyo's hands, and said, "But I killed people, many people, without any mercy. I used my umbrella sword to slit their throats, through their hearts, and in the end, not even their corpses were left."

Good heavens, could you please say less?

The words of the other shore flower stunned Xue Lu, who was standing next to her. She felt that all the other party needed to do was remain silent and then hug her back, and today's matter would be resolved. Why did she have to deliberately self-destruct?

Sure enough, Kikyo's body trembled slightly, then she hugged the spider lily even tighter, as if trying to become one with it, while the latter continued to chatter, "Even so, Kikyo, shouldn't you thank me?"

"But you had no choice, did you? To protect them, to protect Kaede and Yukiji-san, you must have hesitated, right?" Kikyo gave Higanbana a reason, revealing that she too was afraid to face the other's problem.

Long live understanding!

Yukiji gave Kikyo a thumbs up.

"No, I didn't hesitate for even a second. In fact, I felt a great sense of pleasure the moment I took action. Don't forget, I am a true yokai. I have no feelings for the so-called 'humans' as a whole. I enjoy killing, whether the other party is a yokai or a human. Even so, are you willing to accept me?"

The red spider lily made things clear directly.

Can't you even speak properly? Those two chances just now, if you had just nodded, it would have been fine! With Kikyo, this pro, carrying you, how could you not even lie down?

Holding his head in his hands, Xue Lu thought frantically.

"I……"

Kikyo hadn't expected the other flower to be so direct, and hesitated for a moment. But when she looked directly into the other's scarlet eyes, she saw only clarity, without a trace of impure thoughts.

So Kikyo nodded deeply, looked up at the spider lily and said, "Yes! Of course, I'm willing, as long as there is still kindness in your heart."

Ah, ahhh, there's still a chance! Xueji was filled with determination. As long as the other shore flower didn't cause any more trouble this time, things could end well.

Upon hearing this, Higanbana opened her mouth, but this time she didn't say anything. Instead, she raised her hands and hugged Kikyo tightly. They intertwined like this, and Yukiji quickly got up and closed the window.

There's a child watching outside.

As the red spider lily embraced the bellflower, she could smell a faint, elegant fragrance. So she leaned close to the other's neck, aimed at that patch of flawless white skin, and gently bit down, saying in a muffled voice, "...You can't go back on your word."

Can you guys please note that I'm still here?!

Despite having a thousand complaints in her mind, Xuelu couldn't bear to disturb them.

……

Feng, who was standing outside the house, was observing the situation inside with great interest when the window in front of her was suddenly closed, and the window frame almost hit her nose.

Feng was immediately startled and took a half step back. Then she instantly realized who was behind this. Wasn't this bullying an honest person? Why could everyone else see it, but she couldn't?

With her arms crossed, Feng stood outside the house when she suddenly smelled something burning. She looked up in confusion and saw thick black smoke rising into the air...

"Oh no! The rice is burnt!" Feng rushed into the house and ran to the stove. He opened the pot lid and, sure enough, there was only a pile of black stuff left in the pot. A large amount of black smoke filled the room, making everyone cough.

With a wave of his hand, the spider lilies stirred up a gust of demonic wind, dispersing all the black smoke. Feeling somewhat better, he couldn't help but tease Feng, saying, "What a little guy! You can't even cook. Well then, I'll help you out. Remember to thank me!"

"Don't you know how to cook?"

Upon hearing this, Feng asked in confusion.

"You've learned how to be celibate now."

The other shore flower slightly raised her chin and said.

"I'll help you out."

The bellflower followed behind the spider lily.

"Sister, why is there a red mark on your neck? Are you injured?" Feng noticed this detail as Kikyo brushed past her.

"Don't ask so many questions, kid!"

Xuelu immediately carried Feng to the side.

Chapter Seventy-Five: A girl as graceful as a startled swan, yet I don't recognize you.

……

Amidst a vibrant sea of ​​flowers, a stunningly beautiful figure sits atop the crown of a crimson flower, holding a piece of cloth in her left hand and threading a needle with her right.

Tu Bi casually walked by, but was actually curiously observing what the spider lily was doing. The latter glanced at it, and suddenly a vine sprouted from the ground and blocked Tu Bi's way, tripping it up.

—Thump!

“Tu Bi, you’ve circled me at least a dozen times this morning. Just say what you want. If you want to mess around with Lang Ye, that’s fine too. You’re making my eyes dizzy,” said Bi An Hua while embroidering.

"Thump, thump-thump—"

Tu Bi sat on the ground and clapped his hands.

"You're asking what I'm doing?"

Having spent a lot of time with this guy, the Spider Lily could vaguely understand his unique language, so she stopped what she was doing and replied, "I'm trying to calm myself down because I've been killing a lot lately."

Incidentally, this is the eighth day since the Red Spider Lily brutally murdered the bandits in front of the village. Let's recall what she's been doing lately...

Since leaving Kikyo's house that day, Higanbana has never seen Kikyo again. On one occasion, when Kikyo came to visit in person, Higanbana had Tubi stop her at the foot of the mountain, saying that she was not in the right place to be there.

The main reason is that the bloodthirsty excitement in her heart has not subsided. Although the spider lily often uses these hands to kill monsters, she can clearly recognize that there is no difference between the human body and the flesh and blood of monsters.

However, the feeling inside was different.

Unable to calm down at all, it was as if a constant urging from the depths of her soul compelled her to continue the killing spree, and the Spider Lily yielded to this idea.
