"Master Eighth!"
"My lord, where are you?"
While Yae Sakura and Kikyo were talking, Xia Ji's shout came from not far away.
"This girl..."
Yae Sakura frowned when she heard the words, she clearly told her not to come out, but now she just ran out.
"Do you want to come together?" Yae Sakura glanced at Kikyo and was about to go to Xia Ji's side.
"..."
Kikyo didn't answer, but nodded. Kikyo was a little curious about Xia Ji who was calling.
"Then come here together!"
…
When he came to Xia Ji's side, he saw Xia Ji was falling to the ground with a face like she was about to cry.
But yes, although in this era, Xia Ji has already grown up, but she is only a little girl around 13 years old. Although people in this era generally don't live long, people in their fifties are considered long-lived.
In the original novel, Kikyo's younger sister, Feng, is a little over fifty years old, and looks like a hundred-year-old person.
"Master Yai! Are you alright?"
Xia Ji, who was lying on the ground, heard the movement... and saw Yae Sakura walking over, and immediately showed a relieved smile on her face.
"Didn't I tell you to stay in the cave?" Yae Sakura walked to Xia Ji's side speechlessly, and helped Xia Ji up.
"But...I'm afraid...I'm worried about Mr. Eight Greats." Xia Ji yelled softly.
Hearing that there are monsters, now the only one around to rely on to get rid of the monsters, if... something unexpected happens, I...
So Xia Ji walked out.
"Worried about me? But... worried about me, can you help me by running out to find me?"
Yae Sakura is speechless, don't you know that you are a burden? Running out is not only not going to help him, but if there is any accident, it will be a disservice to himself.
"me..."
Hearing this, Xia Ji was speechless...but...very wronged.
…
At this time, Kikyo came over, looked at Xia Ji and then at Yae Sakura, wondering what he was thinking.
"Master Yai, this is a Miko..."
Xia Ji also saw Kikyo, quickly put away her aggrieved expression, and then looked curiously at Yae Sakura.
"have no idea."
Although I know Kikyo, it's the first time I've met her, and I haven't asked her name yet, so of course I can't say her name directly.
"I am the witch Kikyo, and I have been entrusted to come here to exterminate monsters." Kikyo didn't say much, but she still introduced herself.
"Kankyo..."
Xia Ji was taken aback when she heard the words, isn't this the person Yae Sakura asked her before? Xia Ji immediately looked at Yae Sakura in surprise.
But then he introduced himself: "My name is Gu Yuanxia."
"Xia Ji's guard was eaten by a monster, so I'll send her back by the way." Yae Sakura also said immediately.
"Gu Yuan? The one from Gu Yuan's family?"
Kikyo heard this and knew who this Xia Ji in front of her was, she was the daughter of a daimyo here.
…
After getting acquainted with Kikyo, Yae Sakura knew that this is the Musashi Kingdom, but... there is still a long distance from Kikyo's village, Kaede Village.
Kikyo was entrusted by the head of a nearby village to get rid of monsters here.
At this time, Kikyo has indeed not taken over the Jade of the Four Souls. Although he is famous...but it is not too great.
It's just that in the small area of Musashi Kingdom, especially the area near Maple Village has a strong reputation.
Although other countries are also famous, it is only spread in some circles. Ordinary people don't know it, and knowing it is just a story.
After all, this is not modern times, and many people have never left their villages in their entire lives.
As for why Xia Ji didn't know about Kikyo, because Xia Ji didn't know about these things.
As a princess, she has to learn a lot of etiquette, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she doesn't have extra time to understand these.
...
"So there is a village nearby? Can you take the two of us to the village for a night?"
If there is a village, there is no need to sleep in a cave.
Kikyo glanced at Xia Ji. After all, she was the daughter of a nobleman, and it was still too dangerous in the wilderness. Nodding his head, he agreed.
"Come with me!"
For Yae Sakura, Xia Ji's words... are completely at ease.
…
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and it took more than half an hour to walk from the Kikyo road before arriving at a village.
This village is very small, only about a hundred people.
Most of the buildings look so weak that they can be blown down by a gust of wind. Most of the houses are thatched huts.
However, the people in the village had already rested at this time, so there was no accident when they entered the village. Kikyo led the two of them directly to an abandoned temple.
Although the roof of this abandoned shrine is a bit rotten, it looks much better than the previous thatched cottage.
"Let's rest here temporarily tonight! This temple has long been abandoned." Kikyo put down his luggage.
"Ok."
Although this place is not very good, there are some dry grass on the ground, which is undoubtedly much better than the previous cave.
"It's late! Xia Ji, go to sleep!"
Yae Sakura made a floor for Xia Ji with hay, and then found a step to sit down by herself.
"Master Yae, you can sleep here..." Seeing Yae Sakura's actions, Xia Ji was a little moved.
"Sleep if I tell you to sleep." Hearing this, Yae Sakura's tone became a little more serious, and she didn't want to talk so much nonsense with her.
"yes..."
Sure enough, Xia Ji became honest immediately.
…
"for you."
Just when Yae Sakura was about to close her eyes and meditate, Kikyo suddenly took out something and threw it to Yae Sakura.
"this is...."
Yae Sakura opened her eyes instantly, and then grabbed...
If you look closely, it's a...red and white witch costume.
"Even if I'm a half-demon now, I should have the self-consciousness of being a woman, not to mention... I'm still a priestess. These are my spare clothes, you can see if they fit.
If you still think of yourself as a shrine maiden..."
"Uh..."
Kikyo's...clothes?
But... the figure seems to be about the same!
only...
Remember, when Kagome crossed over, her school uniform and short skirt were similar to my own, right?
Why does no one seem to say it?
Is it because she is the main character?
