In the room, the dim yellow crystal lamp emitted a faint light. Kikyo was sitting on the bed uneasily, her legs tightly crossed. She closed her eyes and lowered her head to look at her two tangled hands.
She had never encountered such a situation before, being in the same room with a man.
It was so quiet that one could hear their breathing. There were no insects or dogs. Cloudflow sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and sipped a cup of bitter tea. He looked out at the stars in the distant horizon and thought to himself that only this bitter taste could make one remember something forever.
He sighed slightly and stood up to close the curtains.
"Go to sleep." he said.
"Ah?" Kikyo's body stiffened. Her face was slightly red as she whispered," Where do I sleep?”
" Nonsense." Cloudflow rolled his eyes." Sleep on the bed."”
"What about you?" Chinese bellflower.
"On the bed." She answered straightforwardly and then blinked.
Kikyo opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Cloudflow shook his head helplessly at her, then smiled.
"I don't know what you're thinking about all day long. As a witch, you've lost your composure.”
He opened the closet and took out a pure white quilt. This was a high-quality quilt that Maple Town had offered as a tribute more than a hundred years ago. It was embroidered with the traditional maple embroidery of that time.
" Huh?" Kikyo exclaimed. She saw the white holy dragon embroidered on the quilt with a unique embroidery technique. It was very different from the image she knew. If she had seen Cloudflow in the form of a purifying snake, she would not be so surprised.
"Are you curious?" Cloudflow spread the blanket on the ground and took out a blanket." This is an image you've never seen before."”
"Is it Lord Divine Dragon?" she asked.
"It was when he was still weak.”Cloudflow paused.
"Does the Lord Divine Dragon also have weak moments?”Kikyo was curious.
"I guess so." Cloudflow smiled at her.
Kikyo didn't ask further. She only felt that this man was a little too mysterious. The aura on his body made people want to get close to him. His temperament was as pure as flowing water.
" I haven't asked you," Yun Liu said." Why do you want the Divine Dragon Weapon so badly?"”
" Because of the Stone Monster's invasion." Kikyo thought of something and said solemnly.
"Stone Demon?" Cloudflow narrowed his eyes.

The wind and rain howled, and the sky and earth changed color. Layers of dark clouds extended from the northwest horizon and surged toward a lonely, desolate land, covering the dome tightly. The wind roared and swirled the sand and stones in the air above the ancient forest. It roared and crashed! The mountain forest was crushed bit by bit by the thick clouds and storm, as if it was an endless descent and gloom.
"Wuuu!" A long and deep cry cut through the sky. It was a majestic cry that seemed to come from the mysterious and dangerous ancient times.
Boom!
The mountains and rivers trembled! The earth shook!
The entire world was shocked!
Thump, thump, thump…
A loud sound like a heartbeat accompanied the rolling ground. Countless towering trees were knocked to the ground like tiny toothpicks, crushed and shattered, leaving only a large piece of barren wasteland.
It broke through the dark clouds for thousands of miles and shattered the lightning and thunder. The light of the sun shone through the gaps in the clouds. In the deepest part of the mountain range, in the desolate silence, an unusually huge mountain suddenly rose from the seemingly dead water. The world shook and the surroundings shook. This huge mountain slowly stretched out a pair of huge arms made of rocks, like a giant worm that was slowly wriggling. A pair of beast-like golden vertical pupils were covered under the rocks of the forest. The layers of dense trees were like the hair of this monster.
There was a purple aura in his stomach, which surged out like a wave. Each wave was stronger than the last. Terrifying cracks appeared on the outer layer of the entire mountain. Hundreds of tons of boulders fell down continuously, and towering trees fell to the ground and broke like toothpicks.
"Cui Zi!" A deep roar came out from the giant beast's mouth. A pair of cold eyes that could take one's soul showed a painful expression. Its entire body shrunk into a giant ball. Purple light could still be seen from time to time. The giant ball sank deep into the ground, forming a barren mountain.
At this moment, the terrain within a few dozen miles had completely changed. A terrifying giant beast slowly fell into a deep sleep.
…………
After the pure white holy dragon disappeared for nearly two hundred years, and the powerful Kingdom of Dogs fell apart, the balance between humans and demons was gradually broken.
It was unknown when a cruel and heartless clan appeared-the Stone Monster Clan!
They used their huge bodies to smash the cities that humans relied on to survive. They loved to destroy all living and non-living things. They had endless physical strength and were constantly destroying the world. It was said that they were descendants of Underworld creatures, so they had a strong defense that human weapons could not hurt. The only thing that could harm them in the human world now was the Divine Dragon Weapon!
"The Netherworld?" Cloudflow lay under the blanket with his back facing Kikyo. A small thought rose in his heart, but it quickly grew bigger.
It was time to bring his mother back.
"In that case, I have a reason to deal with the Stone Monster Clan.”he said with a smile.
Kikyo looked at the back of the silver-haired man who was sleeping on the floor, and her eyes became gentle. Although she had only known him for less than a day, she could tell that this was a man who was gentle to the bone.
It was late at night. The Divine Imperial Tree outside the house slowly stretched its branches under the starry sky. The lights in the house gradually went out.
…………
Through the floor-to-ceiling window, the smoke rising from the kitchen lingered in the warm golden light. There was a little sweat on the fair face of Kikyo, and her hair was curled up by her ears. Her hair was tied behind her head, making her look very energetic.
The kitchen utensils flew in the hazy light and shadow. She used her fair palm to effortlessly hold the kitchen knife, and a piece of wild vegetables was on the chopping board. Her eyes were as black as solidified ink, and there was a slight smile on her face. No one knew what she was thinking.
Cloudflow sat in front of the bed, propping up his chin as he looked at her, as if he was looking at an exquisite piece of art.
"Time to eat."
Kikyo smiled and waved at him as she softly said. She placed a few side dishes on the thick white wooden table and scooped a bowl of meat porridge for him. Including Wan, they were all products from more than a hundred years ago, and they looked quite ancient. Thanks to the power of the enchantment, the house was still spotless after sleeping for nearly two hundred years. The ingredients were all thanks to the Chinese bellflower. For an elite witch like her, there were too many things that could be used in this forest.
" Yes, I'm here." Cloudflow felt a strange warmth in his heart. It was as if he had repeated this countless times. The one who was facing south sat down at the table.
Kikyo saw the sunlight shining from behind the man. His silver hair seemed to be flowing slowly, and his entire person seemed to have become a shining handsome elf. Her heart trembled slightly. This scene was almost the same as the first time she saw the statue of the holy dragon in the shrine.
Cloudflow smiled and picked up a common bitter herb and placed it in the bowl.
" Thank you." Kikyo came back to her senses." But you're so clumsy and cute. Why did you pick bitter vegetables?"”
" This thing," he said," is good for you."”
"You are very reasonable. Are you a proper ascetic?”Kikyo pursed her lips and smiled.
"Have you ever seen an ascetic obsessed with a witch?”Cloudflow smiled at her.
"I've seen him now." she said.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, as if they had an indescribable tacit understanding.
