Protagonist:

Zang Ye

"Another treasure..."

Zang Ye felt deeply moved; the items from signing in now were finally not so pitfall-ridden.

Back then, signing in for the Centipede Demoness's excrement — just thinking about it was unbearable.

【Item Retained!】

【Item already retained; when the Host needs it, it can be searched for in the System Warehouse.】

Bang!

Miroku ran out from the room.

"This is... Dead Soul Insects!?"

"How could there be... so many... drifting departed souls, actually collected this many."

Seeing the Dead Soul Insects collecting departed souls everywhere in the air, Miroku wore a face full of shock.

"Miroku, you noticed too."

"Not going to keep that woman company for a bit." Seeing Miroku, Zang Ye smiled and teased.

Miroku shivered, glanced inside the room, found the person inside hadn't noticed, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's not mention that for now..."

"I think, right now, we should still figure out the purpose of these Dead Soul Insects."

Miroku fixed his gaze on the Dead Soul Insects, with no intention of answering the question.

"Mage-sama, how is it outside? I'm scared..." A delicate voice rang out from the room.

Miroku's heart shook; he hurriedly said, "There are many Yokai outside. Please stay inside, Miss. I will guard the outside."

"Mage-sama, I won't go out. You be careful too. I'll wait here for you to return."

"After this matter, I want to have children with you... Mage-sama..."

Not waiting for a response, she opened the door a crack and discovered Miroku had already gone far away.

"That running figure..."

"The Mage's back view is really too cool."

Running in the distance, Miroku only felt a chill creep over him.

"What's going on?"

Inside the house guarding the corpse.

That originally dead corpse suddenly flew up, floating in midair.

Although it hadn't revived, it was exceptionally eerie in this night.

Kagome was scared into screaming repeatedly, hiding behind Inuyasha.

"Fl... flying up."

Inuyasha hurriedly shielded Kagome behind him.

Suddenly, a Dead Soul Insect broke in from the window.

Flew to that dead woman's corpse side, circled around twice.

"Finally waited for you!"

Inuyasha drew Tessaiga from his waist.

At this time, the Dead Soul Insect had already sucked out the departed soul, preparing to leave.

"Bastard!"

Inuyasha roared, rushed up, swung his blade and slashed.

Under one strike, the Dead Soul Insect was cut in two halves.

The soul, without the Dead Soul Insect's pull, returned into the woman's body, then fell down.

Kagome couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "The soul is fine now."

"It ends just like that? Really useless!" Inuyasha said with some dissatisfaction.

Thought there would be a strong opponent to spar with; result was this weak.

"Wait..."

"Outside there are still..."

Kagome turned her head and discovered outside the window, there were still many Dead Soul Insects flying, each one collecting departed souls.

"All carrying departed souls..." Inuyasha's expression changed greatly.

This is more troublesome than imagined.

"So many, what exactly should we do."

The two chased out and discovered under the half-moon night, dozens of Dead Soul Insects flying in the night sky, all carrying departed souls.

A certain village, a streamside.

Kikyo untied the hairband binding her hair, stretched out her hand.

Above the sky, Dead Soul Insects brought departed souls.

Stopped before Kikyo, passed the departed souls to Kikyo.

Kikyo dragged the soul in her hand, corner of her mouth slightly open. "Poor maiden departed souls, come with me."

However, Kikyo did not discover it.

Not far behind her, she was seen by a village girl.

"Miss Kikyo... is actually manipulating a yokai."

Seeing this scene, the girl was very scared; the usually very kind Miss Kikyo actually had such a side.

"Are you unable to ascend?"

"Miko, you... should be one of the dead."

Monk Seikai appeared not far from Kikyo, bringing his disciple along.

Kikyo glanced at Seikai and spoke, "Can you let me off?"

"I want to live peacefully in this village."

Towards this kind of monk who exorcises yokai and protects humans, Kikyo indeed did not want to be enemies.

She also liked this village very much.

Holding a sliver of hope, that the other party would cease entangling her from now on.

"Since you want to live peacefully, why collect dead souls?"

"Is it because..."

"Is it because this body of yours needs the support of dead souls."

Seikai sacrificed a Dragon-shaped Dharma Tool, silently reciting an incantation.

Kikyo's expression changed slightly, "What do you want to do!?"

"Send you back to your world, this is also for your own good!" Monk Seikai said coldly.

Following Seikai's incantation, the Dharma Tool lit up with yellow light, manifesting a green Foot that entangled Kikyo's whole body; the Foot's claws seized Kikyo's neck.

"You cannot escape my Soul Binding Technique."

"Just obediently ascend; let me save your soul."

Seeing Kikyo attempt to break free, Monk Seikai hastily spoke.

"Save?"

"Just you... want to save me!?"

Hearing the words 'save', Kikyo was very angry.

This monk doesn't know her past at all; driving her out with such violent means counts as saving?

Simply laughable to the extreme!

Kikyo's figure erupted with intense light; in just an instant she shattered Monk Seikai's Soul Binding Technique, a green Foot's claw shot out, piercing Monk Seikai's throat.

Monk Seikai fell just like that; the Dharma Tool in his hand also shattered at this moment.

Monk Seikai's disciple was struck dumb with shock; just now his master had the upper hand, and in a blink he was killed.

"Ah..."

Monk Seikai's disciple cried out in alarm and fled in a sorry state.

At this time, Kikyo walked before Monk Seikai and said indifferently, "If not for you meddling, you would not have lost your life."

Monk Seikai did not die, but grabbed Kikyo's leg and asked, "What do you intend to do!?"

"The living, their time still moves forward. But as one of the dead, your time has already stopped; this is an unchangeable fact."

"How pitiful..."

Having spoken this sentence, Monk Seikai breathed his last.

"Actually saying I... am pitiful..."

Kikyo's gaze turned cold.

Suddenly, Kikyo detected movement in the distance, "Who's there!?"

The girl fell by the tree; from her expression, everything that just happened had been seen by her.

"Xiao Ye... you... saw it all..."

The girl was none other than one of the three children who pestered Kikyo during the day.

Also because the girl Xiao Ye's dress and demeanor resembled her younger sister, Kikyo liked her even more, treating her like a real younger sister.

Kikyo walked over, crouched down, and stretched out her hand wanting to comfort Xiao Ye.

However, Xiao Ye was very scared of her, dodged away, and trembled in place.

A trace of gloom flashed across Kikyo's face, "Sorry, leaving you with a bad memory."

Finished speaking, Kikyo turned and left.

"Miss Kikyo..." Xiao Ye stood up, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Kikyo stopped her steps, only saying one sentence, "Farewell forever..."

"Live on well."
