Becoming a Demon King from Inuyasha

When I came to my senses, the person who was sitting next to me and chatting just now appeared a hundred meters away.

Looking at the scene in the distance, Fairy Lingyue unconsciously held her cheek with her hand, feeling very unhappy.

That's it again.

It was like this two hundred years ago, and it will be like this two hundred years later. What is the charm of human women?

"Have you ever encountered a similar situation?"

Fairy Lingyue looked back and saw the feathered fox that suddenly appeared beside her.

"Of course, this is a common thing. You'll get used to it. It's our fault for being late." Yuyuko smiled nonchalantly.

"Aren't you angry at all?"

"I'm actually more afraid of being abandoned and ignored than being angry."

So that's why. No wonder I always feel that her attitude is sometimes very humble and sometimes overly fanatical.

Thinking of others, Fairy Lingyue unconsciously clenched her fists.

"The game hasn't even started yet, we can't just give up like this."

Bow your head, for what?

the other side.

"Night Gate, look what I found! Thumbelina."

Looking at the small girl in Kagome's palm, Ye Men was surprised and couldn't help asking:

"Where did you pick this up?"

"I didn't pick it up. She insisted on signing up for the martial arts tournament. No matter how much I tried to persuade her, it was useless."

As she spoke, Kagome carefully picked up the girl in her palm.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why you must participate, but this conference is not open to the public. Besides, you are so small, can you beat other monsters?"

"No way! I will never give up."

The little girl hesitated for a moment, then stood up in Kagome's palm and bowed:

"Please, I have to win this championship."

"So, that's why I've been asking you about your reasons for participating in the competition?" Kagome sighed helplessly, "If your reasons can convince me, then I can help convince others, but you just don't want to say anything."

"I...I'm sorry, I really can't say."

"In that case, I also have reasons to refuse your participation."

"..."

The little girl hesitated for a long time, looked back and forth at Kagome and Yemen, and then spoke:

"If you really need a reason, I can tell you, but you must promise not to take my things."

? ?

Kagome looked surprised, then couldn't help laughing and nodded repeatedly:

"Don't worry, I promise I won't steal your things."

"You promise too!" The little girl turned to look at Ye Men.

"Okay." Ye Men responded silently.

The little girl suppressed the uneasiness and humiliation in her heart and spoke slowly:

"In fact, I am the water god in Musashi Province, and I have been living in the shrine. But a few months ago, a snake demon under my command stole my sacred weapon, the Spear of Yu, and sealed me away."

"The snake demon assumed my identity and forced the villagers to sacrifice a young child every month."

"A week ago, a large army of demons and humans in Musashi Province were clearing the fields and discovered the snake demon. They thought he was an evil god, destroyed the shrine, killed him, and took my Spear of Yu away with them."

"At that time, after the seal was lifted, I immediately went to find the general leading the team and asked him to return the Spear of Yu to me. But he not only ignored me, but also flicked me away with one finger."

Water god? Divine weapon?

Kagome stared at her blankly, and after examining her carefully several times, she still couldn't see how she looked like a god.

"So there are still gods in this era? I thought there were only monsters."

"But, since he is obviously a god, why would his artifact be taken away from him?"

"Is this world really okay with such a small god?"

"I wasn't this small at the beginning." The Water God couldn't help but say, "As long as I get the Spear of Yu back, I can become as big as you."

"Hasn't the seal been lifted?"

"No! The seal that imprisoned me in the rock was lifted, but the seal on me is still there."

"Are you telling the truth? Why does it sound... fake?"

Kagome looked towards Yemen unconsciously and asked in a low voice:

"Is she really a god? She doesn't look like one."

"I don't think so either, but she is indeed a god." Ye Men thought for a moment, and then added, "There are many kinds of gods. She should be the kind that becomes a god through accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. She herself is not very powerful, and relies entirely on divine tools for support."

"In that case, shall we return the artifact to her?"

"Of course, but I have no impression of the Spear of Yu that she mentioned."

"She just said that it was a general who led a team to inspect the land. How about asking Mr. Xinglong?"

Kagome looked around and soon spotted Yukitaka Sanada who was talking to a few other people in front of the ring. She immediately ran over with the little water god in her arms.

"Mr. Yukitaka, who was the person who inspected the land in Musashi Province a week ago?"

"A week ago? It was my brother Xingding."

"Where is Mr. Kosada now?"

"Since the current situation in Echigo is unstable and Sado is too important, I asked him to lead the team to Echigo Province this morning. Miss Kagome, do you have something to do with Yukisada?"

"Actually, it wasn't me who was looking for him, it was her." Kagome lifted the little water god up, and then quickly introduced her needs, "Mr. Yukisada, do you have a rune address book? How about asking?"

"I'm sorry, the rune address book is too valuable, and there's an Onmyoji from the Hanakaiin family with the address book in Sado, so I didn't give it to him." Sanada Yukitaka said as he thought, "Yukisada just left this morning, and he should still be on his way."

"However, the Spear of Yu mentioned by the Water God is not a conventional weapon, and Xing Ding himself cannot use it. If it has not been handed over to the warehouse, it should still be at home."

"Great, let's return the artifact to her as soon as possible."

Seeing this, the little water god couldn't help but say:

"Not enough. In addition to returning the Spear of Yu, you also have to help me repair the shrine."

"Besides, I was chased by wild cats and stepped on by children this week in order to find this place. I suffered a lot, and you have to pay me."

“Also, you must tell the people in those villages that I really am the Water God, and let them start to believe in me again.”

Chapter 71: One dares to speak, the other dares to believe

"Hmm..." Sanada Yukitaka hesitated for two seconds and spoke slowly, "As for the shrine, we do have some responsibility. We can send people to help you repair it. But compensation is out of the question. As for belief, it is the personal freedom of the villagers."

"If you hadn't destroyed the shrine and taken away the Spear of Yu, I wouldn't be in this situation now."

The little water god suppressed his anger and dissatisfaction and analyzed it seriously:

"The snake demon is just a fake, the shrine is mine. You can assume that you are not guilty of ignorance, but you knew that the Spear of Yu is my sacred weapon, and you took it away, and you refused to listen to anything I said."

"Moreover, they gathered all the villagers around the lake and talked to them about science, saying that praying to gods and Buddhas was a superstition."

"After listening to your lies, the villagers no longer believe in me. Even the children in the village treat me as an unknown little monster and chase me and step on me."

Ah...this.

Ye Men was speechless. During the previous banquet, he casually mentioned some future development directions, including what science is and why few people would believe in God five hundred years later.

I didn't expect that someone would write down everything I said just casually.

To be honest, there is no problem.

Even though there are gods, fairies and demons in this world, it is better to rely on yourself than on others. Instead of burning incense and worshiping gods, it is better to raise money and find ways to solve the problem.

However, she didn't expect that she would encounter such an unexpected disaster.

"Hehe..." Kagome held the little water god in one hand and covered her mouth with the other hand and laughed, "I'm sorry, although I feel sorry for you, but I think Mr. Yukisada is right."

"Or rather, this is actually better."

"Compared to putting your hopes on gods and Buddhas, it's better to rely on others all day and do nothing but pray."

"It is better to live a good life, so that we can cultivate a next generation of self-reliance and will not be helpless in times of danger."

"That's too much! I thought you were a good person." The little water god snorted coldly, jumped out of Kagome's palm, grabbed the branch next to him, swung gently, and landed on the treetop.

"In this case, I won't count on you anymore. Once I get the Spear of Yu back, I will rely on my own strength..."

Before he finished speaking, the little water god fell silent.

Go back to the village? Those villagers no longer believe in me.

Go somewhere else? In time, this kind of thinking will spread everywhere, and everyone will think that God is fake and just a demon. Where can you go?

"Don't you think God shouldn't exist?"

Noticing that her tone was a little depressed and her expression no longer had the same momentum as before, Ye Men naturally knew that she was hit hard.

To suddenly realize that you are not that important is a huge blow to anyone.

"To say it's not important at all is certainly not the case."

“God can guide the foolish, give the cowardly a spiritual sustenance, give the brave a reason to fight, and bring a miracle called change to the desperate.”

"But if it's important, it's not that important. After all, most of the things God can do, humans can also do."

"If you ask me whether God should exist, my answer is that God can bring some different colors to the world and make it more beautiful."

"If you want to go back to the way things were before, I can only say that I won't stop you, but that's all."

"It is up to you to believe or not to believe."

Hearing this, Kagome looked at the little water god seriously and said seriously:

"I thought the same thing."

“Although my family runs a shrine, I don’t believe in God.”

"I have seen many people come to the shrine to worship, and most of them don't actually believe in God. They only come to worship to seek peace of mind."

“I don’t know how to evaluate the relationship between God and man.”

"But I know that people are like growing children. One day they will no longer need their mother's help and will be able to support themselves on their own."

Although I know what they said is right, the depression in my heart will never go away.

"Hmph...you are all bad people. Not only have you taken away my place to stay, but now you're going to take away the meaning of my existence as well?" The little water god snorted coldly, with both anger and disappointment in his eyes.

"Feel sorry."

Although it is not known whether the gods of this world need to rely on the power of faith to maintain their lives, whether faith is the source of power, the source of life, or the condition for promotion, it should be something very important to gods.

Ye Men thought about it and spoke again:

"Compared to the benevolent policies of Shinto and Buddha that are being implemented by Kagetora, I personally prefer atheism, although there are no relevant policies in place at the moment, and I probably won't do so in the future."

"But in any case, it did have a great negative impact on you."

"So, we can make certain compensation to you."

"If you don't mind, I can find another place within the borders of Musashi Province and build three shrines for you. You will need to train the priests yourself."

"However, this is just drinking poison to quench thirst. In times of war, people long for the protection of gods; in times of peace, people will forget about gods."

"Since you are able to leave the lake, you should not be a river god confined to a lake. Take this opportunity to organize your teachings and find a way to become bigger and stronger."

? ?

The little water god stared at Ye Men in amazement, his face full of surprise.
