Kikyo remained calm and smiled faintly, "I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so outstanding. I was a little flustered."
"I am quite confident in my skills."
Luo Zhen was confident that even the most skilled cooks could not reach his current level of housekeeping.
"I do want to know how to destroy the Shikon Jewel."
Kikyo put down her chopsticks and bowl. "But you have already helped me a lot. If you help me destroy the Shikon Jewel, I really don't know how to repay you."
Inuyasha's ears perked up, his tail wagging anxiously, as if he wanted to jump up and shout:
Why destroy something as precious as the Shikon Jewel? If you don't want it, you can give it to me!
It's a pity that he didn't dare to say it.
"It's just mutual help. Maybe I'll need your help sometime in the future."
Luo Zhen wasn't just saying empty words. He's not an all-rounder, and there will definitely be things he can't handle on his own when he takes on a mission in the future. He might need Kikyo's help.
Anyway, he can benefit from the commission, so he's not being taken advantage of.
Kikyo sat up straight and said very seriously:
"If you ever need help in the future, just let me know, and I will definitely help you."
Luo Zhen said, "I trust your character and strength to have been chosen to guard the Shikon Jewel."
what about me?
Inuyasha was so anxious he was jumping up and down, and the rice in his bowl no longer tasted good.
Kikyo sat upright: "Then, please tell me how to destroy the Shikon Jewel."
Kikyo's request: Destroy the Shikon Jewel completely.
[Commission Reward: 2,000 Commission Crystals, one random lottery draw]
Luo Zhen said, "The solution is actually very simple. Make a wish on the Shikon Jewel to make it disappear, so that Midori's soul can rest in peace, and that will be fine."
The Shikon Jewel was created by a powerful priestess, Midori, who fused her soul with those of countless yokai during her battles. It is a very powerful séance.
Midori's soul is still inside the Shikon Jewel.
Kikyo suddenly realized that after being enlightened by Ryouma, she discovered that it was so easy to achieve such an effect.
The Shikon Jewel is far too precious; not to mention the demons, even Kikyo, as its guardian, never considered it.
She and Rojin arrived at the place where the Shikon Jewel was sealed, and Kikyo devoutly made a wish upon the Shikon Jewel:
"I hope that Senior Midori can rest in peace, and that the Shikon Jewel will disappear. Such an item should not exist in this world."
A brilliant light rose from the Shikon Jewel, and the spirit of a smiling priestess appeared. She nodded gently to the group before disappearing.
The Shikon Jewel disappeared, and Ryoujin heard the notification that the quest was complete:
You have received 2,000 commission crystals and can participate in a random lottery draw.
I'm so close to reaching 10,000 commission crystals! My "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" skill is about to receive a major buff!
Luo Zhen, full of energy, focused his attention on Inuyasha:
"Inuyasha, do you want to become stronger?"
Inuyasha's ears drooped: "Without the Shikon Jewel, no matter how hard I try, I'll still be a half-demon."
"That's not necessarily true. Combat power is determined by demonic power, martial arts skills, and weapons."
"I can help you with your weapon, and I can also find someone to help you with your demonic power. As for martial arts, I think that as a dog demon, your family's martial arts are more suitable for you. You should find your older brother Sesshomaru and have him teach you and be your sparring partner."
"impossible."
Inuyasha said, "Sesshomaru has always regarded me as a half-demon as a disgrace and wished he could kill me. He would never teach me martial arts."
"That depends on whether you're willing to pay a small price."
Luo Zhen revealed a strange smile and took out a bottle of potion. "If you really want to become stronger, take this bottle of potion to find Sesshomaru. Drink this potion before fighting him, and he will definitely teach you martial arts and his attitude towards you will also improve."
"So magical?"
Inuyasha took the bottle and sniffed it. He could sense that the potion contained extremely strong power, but he couldn't identify what it was, only knowing that it wasn't poisonous.
Luo Zhen drew a vial of blood from him: "Come back to me after you've honed your martial arts skills. I'll prepare methods to enhance your demonic power and weapons for you then."
"However, there are conditions for me to help you with these things."
"any request?"
"I demand that you publicly declare that you became stronger by using the Shikon Jewel."
He also gave Inuyasha a Fire Moth gun and several boxes of ammunition, which were extremely powerful and specifically designed to target Honkai Beasts.
Inuyasha went to Sesshomaru with questions in mind. He longed to become stronger, so he was willing to believe Rozen's words. More importantly, having lost both his parents, he also longed for family affection.
He would be willing to reconcile with Sesshomaru if it were possible.
When Inuyasha made no attempt to conceal his presence and called out Sesshomaru's name everywhere, Sesshomaru quickly appeared before Inuyasha.
Their father gave Sesshomaru the Tenseiga, which was incapable of killing, but left the powerful Tessaiga to Inuyasha.
Sesshomaru always felt that his father was biased and wanted to take away Inuyasha's Tessaiga, so he kept tracking Inuyasha's whereabouts.
"You half-demon, how dare you show your face in front of me?"
Sesshomaru's expression was indifferent. "Today I will personally eliminate you, you lowly half-demon!"
Inuyasha sneered and drank the potion that Ryouma had given him in one gulp. He felt hot all over and as if he was full of power.
He charged at Sesshomaru, wielding the Tessaiga: "The outcome is still uncertain!"
He still had the gun given to him by Ryouma hanging on his waist, feeling that even if Sesshomaru wasn't waterproof, he could still use it to turn the tide and win!
He went up with full confidence!
Then he was easily defeated by Sesshomaru and sent flying dozens of meters away.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Inuyasha coughed violently, "Something's not right. I feel weaker and my balance is off."
He looked at Sesshomaru and noticed that Sesshomaru didn't continue his attack while he was down. Instead, Sesshomaru stared blankly at him, and upon meeting his gaze, Sesshomaru abruptly looked away as if electrocuted, turning his body away as well.
"I never expected it to be like this! How can you be like this? Put your clothes on!"
?
Inuyasha thought Sesshomaru might be out of his mind. He stood up, leaning on his sword, and was about to launch a sneak attack when he suddenly realized something was wrong. He looked down and saw that Sesshomaru's once flat chest was now prominently raised, and his fair skin was incredibly tempting.
ah???!!!!!
Volume 1: Chapter 017 - Su Shi, Xiangzi is Getting Married
Luo Zhen was laughing wildly. The thought of Inuyasha transforming from a foolish younger brother into an adorable, silly younger sister in front of Sesshomaru, along with the cool Sesshomaru's embarrassed and thoughtful expression and Inuyasha's bewildered state, made him feel extremely happy.
"I can't wait to see what kind of sparks will fly between Sesshomaru and Inuyasha in the future!"
Just thinking about it made Luo Zhen start to smile.
Kikyo tilted her head slightly, not understanding why Ryouma was happy. She didn't know what kind of potion Ryouma gave Inuyasha, nor did she have the eyesight to cover an entire town like Ryouma did, so she didn't see the battle between Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.
"Kikyo, what are your plans for the future?"
Luo Zhen asked, "The Shikon Jewel has disappeared, and you are now free from this duty."
"Of course, we should continue to protect the village. There might be some demons who haven't received the news that Inuyasha spread, or they might not believe the news and want to come and investigate themselves."
Kikyo stroked the Azusa Wood Spirit Bow, "After this matter is completely over, there is also my younger sister, Kaede. I need to teach her to become a qualified shrine maiden. If she can protect the village, I will probably leave here and go see other villages."
"Of course, if you need my help, I will also be your strength to repay your kindness."
Luo Zhen waved his hand: "Don't mention any favors, we're all friends, we're all buddies."
"Friends?"
Kikyo nodded. "Yes, you are my friend. I will help you if you need anything."
"You can come and visit the Request House whenever you have free time. As long as you keep the Request House in mind, you can find a way to enter. For example, food and medicine are very precious in your world, but very cheap to me."
Luo Zhen waved goodbye to Kikyo and returned to the hut. His cheerful mood was so obvious that even the maid, Xiao Xiang, could see it.
"You seem so happy, could it be that you closed a big deal and received a generous reward?"
"No, in another world, I saw two brothers who became enemies because of racial discrimination."
Luo Zhen briefly described the relationship between Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, saying, "With my help, they successfully eased their terrible relationship. The older brother not only gave up killing his younger brother and taking his weapon, but also personally taught him martial arts. How touching! I have truly done a great deed."
"Of course, besides that, I also killed many monsters, destroyed the spirit jade that could attract a large number of monsters, and cooked a big pot of food for the whole village."
The maid, Xiao Xiang, was somewhat puzzled: "Could it be that the time in that world flows differently from the time flow in my world? How could you do so much in such a short time?"
"The rest is one thing, but the racial discrimination of demons against half-demons, and the issue of their father's inheritance—these are things that could lead to a bloody fight. How did you manage to get them to reconcile so quickly?"
"First of all, Sesshomaru is proud, and that's the foundation of everything."
Luo Zhen said, "Then it was very simple. I turned his younger brother into a younger sister."
?
Maid Xiaoxiang's brain crashed. So this is how it was solved?
"You can even do gender swaps, in a sense, you are really dangerous."
The maid, Xiaoxiang, asked in a low voice, "But do you have any particular hobbies?"
"Don't talk about me, Xiao Xiang, you're the one who needs the most practice."
Luo Zhen said, "As a maid, you failed to serve the customers well on your first day of work. You weren't in the store when the customers came. This is a serious dereliction of duty, and I'm going to deduct your wages."
Shoko Toyokawa was speechless; it was Luo Zhen who had sent her to the Collapse Three Worlds. She merely reminded him:
"You haven't paid me any salary. Since my salary is zero, you can't deduct it. You can't expect me to pay to work, can you?"
Luo Zhen stroked his chin: "It's not impossible. Let's see how strong you are by giving me 50% V first."
Toyokawa Shoko chuckled softly at his words, her slender fingers gracefully brushing aside a stray strand of hair that fell beside her ear. Sunlight streamed through the window, casting dappled patterns of light on her porcelain-white skin, as if she were enveloped in a soft glow.
"You're asking for half of the Toyokawa family right off the bat. Manager, are you proposing to me in this unusual way?"
