Life-saving grace

Actually, it doesn't matter whether it was an accident or not.

Because Sesshoumaru was injured, he was exhausted. Under the combined effects of his injuries and anger, he finally fainted.

Horii carefully picked up Sesshoumaru’s clothes and frowned when she saw the faint corrosive wounds spreading in the surroundings.

Horii didn't know what kind of Yokai it was, but its toxicity was actually so great that it couldn't even suppress the poison in the Sesshoumaru’s body.

However, he was already injured to this extent. Was this fellow really trying to hold on?

Recalling the expression on Sesshoumaru's arrogant face and comparing his current situation where he was lying on the ground. Horii snorted softly in her heart and began to use spiritual energy to clean up the miasma around the wounds.

Fortunately, the Yokai's poison was strong but not difficult to remove. Horii finished treating the wound. Then, she hesitates for a while but still decides to paste all the herbs on the wound.

She didn't know that human herbs would be effective for Yokai. However, there was no better way at the moment for now. She has to try. In any case, the Great Monster's recovery ability should still be … quite formidable, right?

After doing all of this, Horii finally felt relieved. She rubbed her numb legs.

Just as Horii was about to leave, her eyes involuntarily glanced at Sesshoumaru’s fur shoulder.

She had noticed his woolly shoulders from the very beginning when she saw Sesshoumaru. It was white, fluffy, and looked very good.

Horii has a special preference for fluffy things. Every time she sees them, she just cannot stop herself to touch them.

Now, the impulse starts rising again.

She rubbed her fingers, but she still couldn't relieve the serious impulse. She secretly looked at Sesshoumaru and saw that his eyes were still closed, so she couldn't help but put her hand on the fur shoulder.

The fur shoulder was as soft and smooth as she imagined, and there seemed to be a warm feeling …

Wait?

Warm... Feeling?

Horii touched it again in disbelief. Sure enough, she found that fur shoulder was bouncing as if it was alive. Horii thought that Sesshoumaru had woken up. She was so shocked and quickly let go of the hand. Horii glanced at Sesshoumaru and saw that he was still unconscious.

"Sure enough, the things on Yokai are weird, aren't they?"

Horii muttered, but she felt that she had overlooked some details.

She lowered her head to grab fur shoulder and studied it carefully for a long time. When the “fur shoulder” jumped again, she suddenly reacted-the thing she was grabbing in her hand was not a fur shoulder at all, but the … the tail of Sesshoumaru.

She actually touched the tail of Sesshoumaru!

The idea circulated in Horii's mind.

It should not too late to drop the tail off...

Horii thought silently, then let go of her hand. She put the tail back and turned around as if nothing had happened.

On her way back to the shrine, she had basically recovered calm. And she did not show any abnormalities when she encountered the Shiki who came looking for her. However, before Horii could say a word, Shiki took the initiative to sniff.

"Master, you smell like that dog Yokai."

"MaSu, shut up."

Recently, only a few visitors came to the shrine

Lord Reiko had gone out for some reasons and hadn't returned yet. The villagers wouldn't go up the mountain if nothing happened. Even the little Shiki guarding the shrine had been running out from time to time recently.

In short, Horii was so idle that she felt her body was almost rusty.

Fortunately, there was someone who could keep her being busy.

Thinking of Sesshoumaru, Horii couldn't help but think of his injuries. It had already been two days since the day she had treated him. Horii thought for a moment and felt that she should go take a look.

After all, if he has died, she could collect the corpse for him.

"Master, I thought that Sesshoumaru Lord demonic aura was so strong that he didn't seem to suffer life risk." Shiki dressed in twelve simple clothes, the smile on her face seemed to have accidentally pierced through her master's mind.

"Master, if you want to see him, just say it."

Horii stiffened a bit, and she quickly pretended not to hear anything and walked out of the shrine.

Behind her, she could hear the soft sigh of the Shiki and the sound of the little Yokai hiding under the eaves.

"Lord Horii is heading back to the mountain again."

"Is she going to see the big Yokai ?"

"I heard that he looks very good …"

"Lord Horii has also reached this age …"

"Shh, keep your voice down …"

"Hey, don't squeeze me …"

"…"

Horii pressed down on her temples and took out a Talisman of the Silent Spirit Formation and threw it back without looking.

The world instantly became quiet.

A group of silenced little Yokai watched her leave unrestrained. They jumped up and down but couldn't make a sound. They could only appoint a wronged and aggrieved Shiki to cry out.

Horii clapped her hands calmly and continued walking towards the back mountain.

Sesshoumaru was still under the cherry tree.

When Horii went, he was sleeping against the tree trunk. The wounds on his body had already disappeared. Apart from the traces of blood left on his kimono, no one could tell that he was seriously injured to the point of dying two days ago.

The big Yokai's resilience was terrifying. Horii thought.

As a result of the previous lesson, Horii stopped walking a long-distance away. Even so, Sesshoumaru still opened his eyes.

In fact, he had already smelled her in the wind before she arrived.

Horii did not expect that the Sesshoumaru's alertness was even higher than she had imagined. She only saw the pair of golden phoenix eyes turn cold and the translucent poisonous whip waved towards her.

Bad News!

Before she could think any further, Horii immediately rolled away from this sudden attack. Sesshoumaru seemed to be making things difficult for her sincerely. With a flip of his wrist, the poisonous whip turned around and attacked her again. It was only until she rolled four times in a row that she seemed tired of this kind of trick and expressionlessly withdrew the poisonous whip.

"Cough cough" Horii clutched her chest and sat up from the ground in a sorry state. Her witch costume had been torn by the withered branches, and her long black hair, which reached her waist, was in a mess

A small-minded, bad Yokai, no woman in this life wants you!

She cursed fiercely in her heart and raised eyes to meet those golden eyes. Suddenly, she felt a little guilty.

Canine Yokai shouldn't be able to read minds, right?

Sesshoumaru naturally didn't know how to read minds. He looked at Horii's sorry appearance and said indifferently, "For the sake of that Reiko witch and father were old acquaintances, I won't kill you for offending me earlier."

This fellow was indeed holding a grudge.

When Horii thought of this, for some reason, she suddenly asked boldly, "Then how are you going to repay my life-saving kindness?"

Seeing Sesshoumaru glance at her coldly, Horii even boldly added, "What about marry me?"

A green poisonous whip glowed in response.
