"Demon, Demon?" Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, then she pouted, seemingly not believing it at all, "No way, big brother, you're lying, how could you be a demon, and Sister Kikyo didn't say anything."

"Just because she didn't say, doesn't mean I'm not. Think about it, Kikyo just didn't say I'm a demon, but also didn't say I'm not a demon, right?" Gu Mo said with a chuckle, reaching out to ruffle the little girl's hair, guiding her gently.

"Uh, this... this..." Xiao Ye's mind was a bit fuzzy, it seemed to make sense, but something didn't feel right.

But holding her teacup, she pondered for a bit before decisively shaking her head, "Anyway, Sister Kikyo didn't say anything, so if big brother you are a demon, you must be a good demon... I, I'm not afraid, definitely not afraid."

She mustered up her courage, saying this with a slight stammer at the end.

Not expecting such a response, Gu Mo looked at her with slight surprise, and couldn't help glancing at the witch nearby. Kikyo was holding a cup, observing, her brows furrowed as she seemed to be pondering something, apparently unconcerned with their little drama.

Recalling earlier in the evening, when this witch spoke on his behalf, and the villagers agreed without hesitation, he couldn't help but be amazed.

What astonishing charisma, logically, she hadn't been in this village for a long time, right?

However, the little girl was somewhat naive. Now nothing has happened yet, so she feels she won't be scared no matter what... In reality, Gu Mo recalled that in the storyline, the reason Kikyo abandoned her original plans and left this village was because of her fear.

The main reason was a monk traveling through had discerned that Kikyo was not among the living, and attacked her, only to be killed by Kikyo in return. This scene was witnessed by Xiao Ye, who sneaked out despite it being night, and her displayed fear toward Kikyo made the latter realize that her wish to live a peaceful life in the village was unrealistic.

"Were all these things created by your Demonic Power?" The witch put down her cup, looked around, and finally fixed her gaze on Gu Mo's face opposite.

"Yes, but the tea is genuine and drinkable..." Gu Mo wasn't surprised that Kikyo could see this, and he also pointed out that the tea was real, not projected by magic, as there was no point in projecting food such a way—

The magician who invented this Projection Magic probably never considered "projecting food with magic power and then eating it themselves."

Besides, this kind of magic refueling method is quite strange and utterly meaningless.

The witch thoughtfully examined everything in the room, it didn't seem to be a simple illusion crafted by Demon Qi, to some extent, they were all real... But she indeed saw this kind of situation for the first time, was it some special racial talent?

Glancing at someone subconsciously, she only knew he was a Half-Demon, but didn't know what kind of demon he was.

"Speaking of which, Kikyo, is there anything you need? As long as it's not too complicated, I can make it, like candles or something..." Gu Mo coughed lightly, seeing that the witch didn't seem to be in the mood for tea, decided to steer the topic toward a sales pitch.

"If there's a need..." Kikyo nodded slightly, but before she even finished her words, a commotion arose from outside.

"There's a demon!"

A villager upon the outskirts cried out.

Simultaneously, an urgent ringing of bells sounded, the village's way of sounding an alarm.

The witch immediately furrowed her brow, standing up at once, Gu Mo quick on his feet as well, both leaving the house one after another, heading outside. The little girl remained sitting there in a daze, not quite able to keep up, then she shivered, quickly jumping off the chair and ran to the door worriedly.

In the past, whenever such chaos occurred in the village, with demons attacking, it would always be a nightmarish night.

For children like her, they would usually have to hide inside with their mothers, not daring to make a sound, just listening to the young and strong of the village fighting outside, praying for the terrifying night to pass quickly... But now, things were different.

Though it couldn't be said that they would suddenly be carefree, running around out of curiosity, children and women still had to hide indoors for safety, at least the constant nerve-wracking fear was no more.

And all this change was merely due to the arrival of one witch, in such a short time.

Just stepping out the door, Kikyo grabbed her longbow carried at all times, drew it, notched an arrow, aimed, the entire process took less than a second, the seamless fluidity showed she must have repeated this action tens of thousands of times.

And in that incredibly short span, an enormous amount of Spiritual Power gathered on the arrow, quickly launching out, flying towards that direction like lightning.

"There too… Did they indeed come attracted by the scent?"
