"Eat it yourself! I'm not hungry."
"Oh..."
Xia Ji took a few bites and looked at Yae Sakura before her, growing inexplicably entranced.
She was clearly a woman too, and even a Half-Demon, yet being beside Yae Sakura gave her an unprecedented sense of security.
Not even those warriors, or her own father, had made her feel this way.
She also thought of when Yae Sakura had fought the demon...
If she could stay by her side forever, then there would be no demons to fear, right?
"Lord Yae..." With that thought, Xia Ji looked up at Yae Sakura.
"Hmm?"
"Once we get back to my home, could you stay and continue protecting me?"
"Stay?" Yae Sakura looked at her in surprise. "I'm... a Half-Demon! You really don't mind?"
"I don't mind. Lord Yae is a good person!"
A... good person...
Her first good-person card in life had arrived just like that?
"No!" But Yae Sakura still refused.
"Why?" Xia Ji could not understand.
"You may not mind, but do you think your father and the others wouldn't?" Besides... Yae Sakura could not possibly stay in one place because of someone.
Never mind that Yae Sakura was a girl now—even if she had been a man, she could not possibly fall for anyone.
She would leave this world sooner or later and could not form too many attachments. So... whether the other person was male or female, they could be friends at most.
She could never remain in one world forever because of someone.
"I suppose..." Hearing Yae Sakura's words, Xia Ji calmed down. Thinking of her father's temperament, it would be fine if Yae Sakura were human.
But if she was a Half-Demon...
Kikyo
After Xia Ji finished the roasted meat in her hand and was preparing to rest, Yae Sakura's fox ears twitched slightly. She suddenly sensed the sounds of fighting coming from not far outside the cave.
Yae Sakura's expression abruptly hardened.
"There's a demon's aura."
She had finally encountered demons again!
But looking at Xia Ji beside her, Yae Sakura hesitated slightly.
"What's wrong, Lord Yae?" Seeing Yae Sakura's expression, Xia Ji hurriedly asked.
