Look carefully, this is how realm is used!

Apparently, he also lost his chance of survival due to the poisonous gas in the air.

What made people even more desperate was that the wooden house before it collapsed blocked Kikyo's view, causing her to make a wrong judgment and think that there was no one there.

Even after the wooden house collapsed, some of the ruins still blocked the view, preventing Kikyo from rescuing it immediately.

Shen Fuyuan, who was in the air, had a more comprehensive perspective than the insect demon and Platycodon. He was the first to discover the survivors. It was precisely because of this situation that he told Platycodon that she could not relax yet.

Is that...the divine talisman?

Kikyo thought to himself as he drew his bow and prepared to shoot an arrow, catching a glimpse of the gap in the divine talisman.

"Stop it!"

However, this did not affect Kikyo's performance. Her anxious mood and cold shout were enough to ensure that the arrow that killed the insect demon drew a fatal trajectory.

But when the arrow hit the insect monster, whose mouth could swallow a cow, it bit off half of the bloody human body, and the other half fell to the ground like a rag doll.

Kikyo's attempt to save the situation failed. This is not a classic comic or a movie with a plot twist, but a reality that couldn't be more real.

Once you miss the opportunity, you will have to pay the price later.

The insect demon struggled desperately, but eventually lost its life forever and took away a human life in the end.

The harmful insect demon died, and the surviving villagers cheered, but the witch in charge of exorcising the demon did not show any joy at all.

Especially when cleaning up the battlefield later, Kikyo felt even more depressed when she saw the sad scene of the victims' relatives crying bitterly.

Not only the young man who was not rescued in the end, but also the old man who was not eaten by the insect monster earlier unfortunately followed in the same footsteps.

Even if Kikyo used her spiritual power to purify the poison in the old man's body, the old man's fragile body could not withstand too much torture.

In other words, the person Kikyo wanted to save was not saved in the end.

When she thought of this, it would be strange if Kikyo was in a good mood, even though she knew that she was not a god and it was impossible for her to be perfect in every aspect.

But being unhappy is being unhappy, no matter how many deaths you have witnessed or your own sanity.

As a member of the human race, it is normal for Platycodon to be touched by the death of a fellow human being.

After destroying the insect demon and completing the commission, Kikyo left the village without receiving any reward, and walked back the way he came, leading his horse.

After walking for a while, Shen Fuyuan did not stay in the gap.

"Little Kikyo, don't be unhappy."

"The commission was successfully completed. Isn't that great?"

The accompanying Shen Fuyuan spoke, his tone sounding both encouraging and comforting, saying that killing enemies always carries certain risks.

Moreover, given the situation at the time, Shen Fuyuan believed that Kikyo had minimized the losses. After all, two people died between the time she arrived at the scene and the end, and it was all due to bad luck.

Kikyo did not respond to Shenfuyuan's words. She made a slight movement and then returned to the starting point.

"That young man, have you seen him a long time ago?"

When Kikyo finally spoke, the dead silence not only did not break, but deepened with her slightly indifferent tone.

His mind was quickly becoming active, Shen Fuyuan knew that he couldn't tell the truth, but lying wasn't an option either.

Given Shen Fuyuan's situation at the time, it was impossible for Kikyo not to have discovered his whereabouts.

Silence is sometimes an answer.

There seems to be a conflict between the man and the demon.

Chapter 149: Stabilizing Kikyo is a Success

"Kikyou, I think you need to calm down. It's not good to be dominated by anger."

Shen Fuyuan tried to avoid the important issues as much as possible. From the attitude of Kikyo when asking questions, he should understand the situation.

The result of exorcising the demon was a happy ending for most people, but not for Kikyo.

"I'm not angry. Are you sure you can do what I wanted to do just now?"

Stopping her steps and walking back, Kikyo didn't intend to let Shen Fuyuan change the subject.

"You're lying. You're obviously very angry."

Shen Fuyuan curled the corner of his mouth. He could feel Kikyo's current performance just by feeling it.

The girl's expression didn't change noticeably, but her aura seemed to be mixed with ice chips, which made people feel a little chilling.

"Don't be cunning, answer me directly."

Kikyo had limited patience, and the coldness in her tone deepened.

"Okay, I admit I can."

Since it is useless to avoid the important issues, Shen Fuyuan doesn't mind talking about this topic.

Even if there is no conflict today, as long as the two parties are still getting along, there will always be times like this.

"Why not save him?"

"Why save?"

In response to Kikyo's question, Shen Fuyuan also answered with a question.

"Indeed, I can definitely save that unfortunate guy before the insect demon eats him, but what good will it do me?"

"A sincere thank you? A small reward?"

Shen Fuyuan said with a lack of interest.

"Your values ​​are too extreme."

"I was really naive. I actually thought you were different from other monsters."

Kikyo vehemently denied it, revealing a self-deprecating expression.

Perhaps it was because of Shen Fuyuan's usual behavior that she had such a ridiculous idea.

After hearing what Kikyo said, Shen Fuyuan suddenly regretted it.

Fuck yourself hard and lower your favorability?!

Shen Fuyuan tried to make up for his mistake, otherwise it would develop into a tit-for-tat situation. Why would he repay the favor? He would just pack up and leave. At least he wouldn't offend Kikyo.

"Ahem, Kikyo-chan, don't get me wrong. I'm a monster, and it's good enough that I don't hurt anyone. Saving insignificant people is not my style at all."

"I know that Kikyo is kind and tolerant to others, and is gentle to the weak. It is because of this that you are welcomed by the villagers and rescued me, a monster."

"I'm very grateful for that, but that doesn't mean I'm selfless."

Kikyo could feel that Shen Fuyuan's gratitude was genuine, but only for her personally.

This made Kikyo feel a little complicated, and her anger decreased accordingly.

Shen Fuyuan, who was observing secretly, decided to work harder when he saw the effect. The most urgent task was to stabilize Kikyo.

There was no way. Shen Fuyuan had clear grudges and grievances. If he wanted to take the initiative, he would either have no interest or have a purpose.

The unlucky guy mentioned by Shen Fuyuan obviously did not arouse his interest at all. In other words, he was worthless.

"To put it another way, if they knew my identity, let alone gratitude and compensation, I'd be lucky if they weren't afraid of me, even though I don't care about outsiders' gossip."

"Not everyone is like you. You can act calmly even though you know I'm a monster. And do you really think that human life is precious in this era?"

Kikyo remained silent after hearing Shen Fuyuan's words.

In the early years, Kikyo had traveled around the island country with her master, and she had more or less come into contact with things that she should and shouldn't know.

During the Warring States Period, human life was quite cheap.

Unlike the peaceful era in the future, whenever someone commits suicide or a murder occurs, it will attract the attention of society.

There is no need for Kikyo to admit it, the magic seal bead of Shenfuyuan is enough to prove it.

If it weren't for the chaotic times, how could the Demon Sealing Pearl be filled with resentment?

"Actually, now that I think about it, it's a good thing that Kikyo is angry about this. It proves that you are still young and haven't been assimilated or numb by the times."

"I don't hate good people, especially those who have done me a favor. So in my eyes, little Kikyo, your safety is the most important thing."

Shen Fuyuan pretended to be thoughtful, then pointed at Kikyo and said.

Kikyo herself didn't know how Shenfu Yuan felt about saying such blunt words, but her emotions became more complicated anyway.

Anyone with rich psychological activities would probably not know where the misunderstanding lies.

Don't forget that this is not an open modern world, and sweet words and cheesy love words are extremely limited.

Even when lovers express their love to each other, implicit communication is the mainstream method.

"how about you?"

Kikyo is not a love-sick person and doesn't think too much. What she wants to ask is whether Shenfu Yuan has been assimilated by the times.

"Of course I haven't. At most, due to my long life and experiences, I've gradually become indifferent to certain things."

"Little Kikyo, you have to remember that the concepts of short-lived species and long-lived species are different, not to mention the differences between humans and monsters and races."

He has no chance of falling in love either, Shen Fuyuan continued.

People often say that time is cruel, and it is indeed true.

It is undeniable that Shen Fuyuan, who has lived for more than 300 years, has gained many new things, but has also lost many things he once had.

What you want to gain, you will lose in return.

Shen Fuyuan naturally understood this simple and easy-to-understand truth, but he would not be afraid to move forward.

When Kikyo talked about this, her anger was replaced by other things. She knew that to be honest, Shen Fuyuan had done nothing wrong.

The reason is irrefutable. Shenfu Yuan is a monster, different from her as a human priestess.

Platycodon, Platycodon, when will you learn to shift the responsibility to those who have nothing to do with it?

If you were more careful and stronger, perhaps the result would be different.

Kikyo, now much more clear-headed, began to blame herself. She had made one mistake after another today.

Seeing Kikyo walking with her head down, Shen Fuyuan couldn't see her expression at the moment and was confused for a moment.

Shen Fuyuan thought about it and decided to quietly enter the gap and not disturb Kikyo for the time being. The girl didn't continue to blame him in the end, so he should be fine.

According to Shen Fuyuan's goal, stabilizing Kikyo would be a success, but as for how to completely repair and strengthen the relationship, he believes there will be a chance.

"Children are troublesome."

Lying on the sofa in the gap, Shen Fuyuan complained and secretly protected the distracted Kikyo.

At night, Feng looked at Kikyo who was not in good condition, and the worry on his face was obvious.

Kaede wanted to know what had happened during the day, but Kikyo wasn't in a position to talk right now, and with another youkai in the house who wasn't even human, she didn't have the courage to disturb him.

Sensing Feng's occasional gazes, Shen Fuyuan, who was sitting at a small desk, using lighting magic to dispel the darkness around him and writing something with a brush, shook his head and ignored him.

Unless Kikyo speaks, Shenfuyuan will live at her own pace, which shows the girl's uniqueness.

At the same time, Kikyo couldn't see through Shenfuyuan.

You could say Shen Fuyuan is cold-hearted, as he stood by and watched people die. You could also say Shen Fuyuan is enthusiastic, as he seems ready to take action at any time as long as it involves him.

That night, the three people in the room had different thoughts, and they didn't feel relieved until they fell asleep late at night.

Chapter 150: There is no monster more loving than me

The day after the conflict with Kikyo, I thought the weird atmosphere would disappear, but it still hadn't dissipated by the evening.

Feng, who didn't know the specific situation, was fine after going out, but she felt uncomfortable as soon as she came back, even though this was her home.

Don’t think that children don’t understand anything. They are more sensitive than adults about some things.
