Chapter 612: Eating other types
After Kai Stepped out of the alternate dimension.
Very quickly, a graceful figure flew toward him.
Bang!
Kai spread his arms and caught the rushing figure in an embrace.
A soft, pleasant body, silver hair, and amber eyes, it was Yin.
Yin was dressed in a chef's uniform. Her small, petite, and charming figure, paired with the outfit, created a striking and adorable contrast.
"Master… dinner is ready."
"Mm…"
Looking at Yin's adorable appearance, Kai caught the faint, fragrant scent emanating from her body.
To a certain extent, Kai, who possessed the abilities of the Progenitor of Blood, could keenly sense Yin's sweet, delicious allure.
"Let the rice wait for a moment. Let's savor Yin's flavor first."
Yin's face flushed instantly, a faint red spreading across her cheeks. Her rosy pupils seemed to glow even brighter.
"Master…"
Her red lips looked slightly dry. She gently extended her tongue to moisten them, instantly becoming exquisitely alluring.
"Nngh…"
With a soft sound, a warm, moist sensation wrapped around Kai's neck.
By the mirror-like lake beside them, the reflections of two tightly embracing figures swayed gently.
After a long while, Kai finally lifted his head. Yin's soft body rested entirely against him.
He bent down and lifted her into a princess carry.
Yin, still immersed in that delicate atmosphere, instinctively clung to his neck.
However, this was his home.
Unruly thoughts always appeared at the most inconvenient times.
There was no choice but to notify little Jin to deal with the suddenly delayed dinner.
As for him and Yin, they needed a very different kind of meal.
---
Ripples spread endlessly across the surface of the lake, accompanied by a soft, continuous trickling sound.
Beneath the pink flowering trees, beside the mirror-like water, a white magic array lit up on the ground.
A figure appeared within it, dressed in a Shrine Maiden outfit, with a bow and quiver slung across her back.
Beside her hovered a round carp and a uniquely colored butterfly.
This clear and distinctive presence belonged to Kikyo, the now-famous Shrine Maiden of the Sea.
The moment she appeared.
"Welcome back, Kikyo."
Hearing the familiar voice, Kikyo's originally cold expression softened involuntarily, and the corner of her lips lifted slightly.
'What a pity.'
A small golden figure bounced cheerfully into the air and flew to Kikyo's side.
"Hello! Kikyo, long time no see!"
Looking at the small being perched on her shoulder, Kikyo merely nodded and replied softly.
"Long time no see, Jin."
Kikyo did not show much enthusiasm toward the overly familiar Jin. After all, this little fellow had only appeared during the last two days before she left this place.
And from the moment Jin appeared, trouble had followed nonstop.
If Jin were merely being clingy, Kikyo wouldn't mind. However, Jin often liked to play pranks and could be quite annoying, so Kikyo still needed time to adjust to this side of her.
"Kikyo is still so aloof, but let's put that aside for now."
"I heard you've gained the title of 'Shrine Maiden of the Sea'. Why not come and be my Shrine Maiden in the Land of Miracles? Artoria would surely be very happy."
Kikyo's brows twitched slightly as her gaze shifted toward the approaching figure.
Truthfully, Kikyo had no intention of settling anywhere else permanently. If possible, she wanted to live quietly here.
After all, She had two seniors as precedents.
Despite her immense fame in the outside world, Kikyo's heart still longed for peace.
Or perhaps, she longed for a peaceful life alongside a certain someone.
"Master!"
"Master!"
Kai walked toward Kikyo as the two Shikigami beside her flew over excitedly, circling around him.
Watching the two Shikigami hover about, Kai reached out and gently stroked them.
Calling them stupid would be inaccurate, they were quite spiritual.
But they were undeniably gluttonous.
When Kai and Kikyo had once strolled through a flower field together, he had casually shaped fallen petals into these small lives and gifted them to her.
Carp and Jade Butterfly were Shikigami formed according to Kikyo's spiritual power system. From the moment of their creation, they possessed extraordinary spiritual strength and abilities.
Among them, Carp's primary ability was good fortune. The power to bring luck was certainly not something to scoff at.
Naturally, as a Shikigami, it also possessed secondary abilities such as purification and healing, making it a powerful support-type entity with strong "nanny" traits.
As for Jade Butterfly: its main abilities included manipulating flowers into sharp weapons for direct attacks, emitting fragrant mists, and creating flower illusions.
As a Shikigami, it excelled in barrier formation as well.
However, when facing Jade Butterfly, Carp was completely helpless, like a humanities student suddenly taking a science exam.
"Little Carp, you look rounder again!"
"If you get any fatter, you'll end up in the pot."
"Ah! Master, don't eat me! My meat is very tough!"
Its entire body jolted as it flicked its tail and immediately hid behind Kikyo.
"Stupid Carp, Master is just joking," Jade Butterfly said.
"Really?"
"You guess?"
Hearing that, Carp froze for a moment, then immediately chased after Jade Butterfly, trying to smack it with its tail in revenge for making fun of it.
