Chapter 142 Sesshomaru 4+ - Must Read (Warning)
Qingyue placed this fragment together with the fragments she had obtained earlier.
She grasped all the fragments, her palm emitting a pinkish-purple light. One fragment had already merged with the small, semi-circular sphere.
"If I have the chance, I'll go out and investigate the origin and purpose of this thing."
Xi En nodded, walked to her bed, and lay down.
Qingyue was also sleepy, so she yawned inappropriately and fell asleep immediately.
Outside.
Sesshomaru stood upright, gazing up at the starry sky.
The Tessaiga, left to Inuyasha by his father, was something Inuyasha himself couldn't pull out; in the end, it was the human who was by his side who managed to pull it out.
Even when the sword ended up in Inuyasha's hands, he couldn't unleash its full power.
Was it only when he was about to harm that human that the Tessaiga changed and began to protect humans?
This is the condition for Inuyasha to activate the Tessaiga, and it's also the defensive device given to him by his father.
If he were to obtain the Tessaiga himself, he would never have the heart to protect humanity; his father was wary of him...
He gave himself a Tenseiga that couldn't kill people, so that he could save people. But that was impossible for him. To him, the Tenseiga was just a knife that couldn't kill!
What did his father want him to understand when he gave him natural teeth?
Or rather, what does the knife in his heart want him to do?
Is it a guardian, like the Tessaiga?
The moment this idea came to mind, the natural tooth began to vibrate.
Sesshomaru stepped forward to the clothesline and took off his own Cloud Fox Fur, then took the Tenseiga from his waist and held it in his hand.
"Is it a guardian?"
The natural tooth started vibrating again.
"I, Sesshomaru, don't have such a thing. I only want to become stronger and surpass my father!"
The natural tooth no longer resonates and has become no different from before.
Sesshomaru reluctantly tucked the Tenseiga back into his waistband; no matter how much he disliked it, it was still a gift from his father...
He took the clothes, turned around, and went back to his room.
They saw that the person and the beast inside the house were already asleep.
He stood by Qingyue's bedside. Her hair was disheveled on both sides, making her look much more demure. She was more pleasing to the eye when she was asleep.
He glanced at the bedding on the tatami mat beside him and lay down.
He has a place to lie down, but he doesn't have a masochistic streak.
When Sesshomaru woke up the next day, he could hardly believe that he had slept so soundly!
Qingyue was making clothes with fabric outside the courtyard. She didn't like the clothes here because they were all too similar.
She sews all her own clothes.
"Lord Qingyue."
A girl with her hair tied in a small bun jogged over.
Qingyue put down what she was holding. This person came every morning, simply because she had helped her before.
"You've worked hard slaying the monster, Lady Qingyue." After greeting her, Xiaoling skillfully picked up the tools beside her and entered the courtyard: "I'll help you tidy up the herb garden."
"You're here. Take those mature herbs to sell later," Qingyue said, pointing to the herbs she had sorted out.
Xiaoling nodded obediently.
Qingyue would give a portion of the money from selling herbs to Xiaoling, which would be considered as Xiaoling working there and helping her make a living.
When I first met Xiaoling, she couldn't speak. Because she often stole fish, the villagers, who had reached their limit, beat her up as a lesson.
Stealing fish isn't particularly heinous or hateful for a child. They raised Xiaoling on the charity of many families, yet she still stole fish, and not just once. They were so angry that they had to punish her.
I don't want her to be dishonest or shady, and I don't want her to rely on others for food anymore. She's like an ungrateful wretch; you can't tame her.
Xiaoling saw fish in the river and wanted to catch a few for the villagers who took care of her. She didn't expect them to be domesticated, nor did she expect that her behavior would be considered theft.
Because she couldn't speak, no one played with her, no one explained things to her, and she didn't understand any reasoning or the meaning behind it, such as what stealing meant.
At that time, Qingyue stopped the villagers from attacking her, cured her muteness, and explained the reason.
Xiaoling then realized that despite all the terrible things she had done, the villagers hadn't let her starve to death outside, and although her clothes were worn out, they hadn't let her be cold or hungry. In the end, she even stole fish from the villagers' homes to raise.
She cried a lot, feeling sorry for thinking the villagers were bad.
Qingyue led her to apologize to the villagers, and the villagers also sincerely apologized for beating Xiaoling, which made everyone happy.
After that, Qingyue was pestered by Xiaoling, who came to help her every day without charging her. She couldn't let such a young child do chores.
After much persuasion, Xiaoling finally agreed to take a portion of the money to live on.
During that time, I taught her some basic knowledge about identifying herbs and their uses, since she was all alone and needed to have a livelihood.
The villagers knew that Xiaoling was learning from Qingyue, so they encouraged her to keep going. Even if she couldn't inherit martial arts skills, it would be good if she could inherit medical skills. By treating people, she wouldn't go hungry anywhere.
Xiaoling is much more cheerful than before because she can speak now and express herself. Her peers are more willing to play with her, and she has learned many things she didn't understand before.
Sesshomaru pushed open the door and came out, only to find a human imp in the yard.
"You're so kind, picking up just anyone."
"That's right, you were picked up by me too." Qingyue didn't even look up, and continued to sew with the fabric.
Sesshomaru: "..."
That's true, but something still feels off...
Xiao Ling, who was squatting in the courtyard weeding, felt a gaze on her. She looked up and saw that there was a man beside Lady Qing Yue.
"Lady Qingyue, who is he?"
Qingyue: "His name is Sesshomaru!"
"Is he Lady Qingyue's husband?" Xiaoling tilted her head, her position facing the direction from which the house was being exited.
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed, and he glared at Rin.
What nonsense is she spouting?!
Qingyue chuckled to herself, not defending Sesshomaru, but instead asking a question.
"Does Xiaoling know what a husband is?"
Xiaoling raised her little hand: "Xiaoling knows that a man and a woman sleeping in the same room are husband and wife. Lord Sesshomaru came out of Lord Qingyue's room, so you two are husband and wife."
"So Xiaoling really knew! That's great!" Qingyue clapped her hands in praise.
Xiao Ling was a little embarrassed by the praise, but she was very happy to be praised by Lord Qing Yue.
Qingyue didn't explain because she was already 20 years old, and in the village, people aged 14 to 16 were already being asked to get married.
She wasn't immune to being urged by the villagers, but they were all very kind, and she couldn't be harsh or hit them, so they always changed the subject.
This time, Xiaoling was able to reaffirm her own thoughts. When the villagers asked her how her studies went that day, she would naturally mention that she had a husband.
She no longer needs to be pressured by the villagers to get married, since she's already married now!
You can't expect her to explain to a little girl that they're just sleeping together and not husband and wife; she'd probably be bombarded with questions.
In this era, for those with limited means, marriage is simply a matter of bringing someone home; for those with more means, a wedding ceremony will be held. It's that simple for them.
Sesshomaru glared fiercely at Qingyue, then turned and went back to his room.

Since the chapter order can't be changed, this is the only way to do it. The author said there are too many words to fit in the text, but don't worry, this word count is not included in the 2-word limit.
Let me clear this out so you don't complain later. I forgot to mention it at the beginning, so I'll add it here.
This world isn't kind to Kikyo, haha. This is just my personal opinion; I don't like Kikyo. If you like Kikyo, please don't read this.
I've never liked Inuyasha since I was a child, and I always skip the parts whenever I watch it.
Fifty years ago, Kikyo knew that Onigumo was a villain when she saved him, but she still took meticulous care of him.
Despite Onigumo's wicked thoughts, she remained unfazed and went to feed him every day, making Onigumo want her even more.
Kikyo was entrusted with the protection of the Shikon Jewel by someone else, and since she accepted it, she had to bear this responsibility.
After meeting Inuyasha, she no longer wanted to protect the Shikon Jewel and even considered discarding it. She secretly wanted to use the Shikon Jewel to turn Inuyasha into a human so that they could grow old and die together.
In the end, Naraku transformed into Inuyasha and plotted against her. Kikyo had always been suspicious of Inuyasha, so she immediately believed Naraku who had become Inuyasha, without even giving Inuyasha an explanation.
He used the sealing arrow directly on her injured body, causing her to lose her life force as well, and disappeared with the Shikon Jewel.
When she returned, she acted all righteous and awe-inspiring. She took away the fragments that Kagome and the others had collected for so long and handed them over to Naraku. What a shameless person she was.
They said they wanted Naraku to collect all the Shikon Jewels so they could destroy him, but I find that strange. Why must the Shikon Jewel be given to Naraku?
Kagome was the one who shattered the Shikon Jewel, and this 14-year-old girl took on the responsibility, fearlessly moving forward and cleaning up Kikyo's mess.
What did Kikyo do? In the early stages, she harbored resentment and wanted to drag Inuyasha down to hell. Later, she fought with Kagome for his soul and hurt Kagome time and time again.
Relying on Onigumo's heart, she acted recklessly, and it was unclear what she was so fearless about.
Kikyo is already dead. Her soul belongs to Kagome. She only came back to life because of Kagome, yet she still causes all sorts of trouble.
Finally, for some reason, she suddenly became very large, and everyone inside was praising her greatness.
But isn't it all because of her?
If it weren't for her sympathy for Onigumo, Inuyasha would have said to kill him directly, but she wasn't willing and wanted to take care of Onigumo so that he could die peacefully.
Oh my god, I feel like throwing up.
I don't understand, and I can't comprehend it.
I write based on my own understanding and ideas, so that I can maintain a sense of continuity with the previous text.
The above are just my personal thoughts, and I'd also like to remind my dear readers to be aware of any potential pitfalls. If you like Kikyo, please don't read on, or I'm afraid you'll criticize me.
