Two hundred years later...
"Sigh... the heat is certainly high today! maybe I can try one of those, what was that called 🤔 oh yeah Ice-cream!!!" Wandering down the street Kazumi saw several convenience stores until she found a beautiful antique store.
She entered and saw the display of multiple flavored ice cream " Sir may I kindly ask for two scoops of chocolate and strawberry"
"Yes Missy just give me a second and I'll serve you right away" The old man continued as he started to prepare the ice cream and silently observed the young woman who had entered his shop. " Missy would you like a wafer with it ?"
"Certainly, Thank you!" Kazumi smiled at the old man as she began to enjoy her sweet treat while remembering things of the past ...
"Don't be scared I promise I won't hurt you if you continue to move like that you'll just injure yourself further" Kazumi tried calming the child Demon beast who had been hurt and was unwilling to receive help... "Come please don't be stubborn... look I have sweets with me"
Once the child saw that is was edible he came slowly toward her "Sister Fairy are you really not going to harm me?"
"Of course not come I'll help you tend to those wounds" And thus the child sat down in front of her and Kazumi started healing him
"Child what is your name?"
"I do not have one Sister Fairy, What about your sister?"
"Me??? well, I'm called Kazumi, let's see we can not just call you child each time how about we call you... Xian?" Kazumi looked at the child whose ear was that of a fox on the top of his head and a fluffy white tail
"I like it very much, Sister Kazumi!!!"
"Missy ... Missy ... Missy are you alright?" The old man snapped Kazumi back
"Yes, I apologize it's just the dessert is extremely good and just got me to remember something that was dear to me" Kazumi faced the old man with a smile that did not reach her eyes which only showed sorrow
The old man observed her before sitting next to her, due to the shop not being busy
"Missy, I don't mean to alarm you but it is quite impressive that you are a cultivator at such a stage, nowadays youngsters have no interest or affinity for it sigh"
Kazumi looked at the old man, with a bit of surprise "This sir, how should I address you?"
"Xiao Kabuto is my Dao name" the old man smiled as he told her who he was...
"ah, so you are from the Xiao clan, this junior is called Kazumi, I'm a Golden core cultivator and I do not own a surname" Kazumi bowed slightly towards Xiao Kabuto
"My, my it's been a pleasure to speak with you, young lass, you seem to be an honest one, I'd like to advise you to be careful you have powerful people tailing you" the old man Kabuto walked back to his counter
"Thank you"
Kazumi continued to enjoy her sweet treat, with her mind filled with the thought of sorrow and the warmth that she so much missed. She observed the small shop and noticed a small array placed around it, the array was meant to repel beings with harmful intentions, but due to the stage of the Old Kabuto being at Core Formation
