In the forest, Sasuke stopped to rest, after all, he had been on the road since last night, almost across the distance of four or five countries, even with the support of the Demon Refining Pot, but by now, he was also a little tired.

Finding a shady place, Sasuke stopped, looked around at everything, felt that there was no danger, and said, "Let's rest here for a while, I guess you're tired too." ”

"Miss Ben won't get tired. Shion patted Sasuke's shoulder and said angrily, but when he saw a few beads of sweat oozing from Sasuke's forehead, he jumped down from behind Sasuke as he said.

"Hey, so you're tired, huh, I thought you were a monster, and you never feel tired. ”

Looking at Shion as a matter of course, Sasuke said helplessly: "Miss, I'm also a human, not a machine, I haven't rested since last night, do you think I can not be tired?"

With that, Sasuke found a clean place and sat down cross-legged, ready to recover the consumed chakra.

Shion was standing next to Sasuke, looking at him with big blue eyes, looking at Sasuke, and unconsciously thought, well, this bastard looks pretty good.

Sasuke closed his eyes and condensed, ignoring Shion no more, and for a moment the air around him was a little condensed. After all, it was in the forest, neither of them spoke, only the rustling of leaves could be heard coming from the dense forest, Shion looked into the depths of the dark dense forest, and only felt that there were unknown eyes staring at her, it seemed to be a beast, and it seemed to be some kind of terrifying monster.

Thinking of this, Shion came to Sasuke, patted him on the shoulder, and said in horror, "Hey, bastard...... Get up, this ...... There are ghosts here...... Let's go. ”

Interrupted by Shion, Sasuke couldn't calm down, and immediately stopped Chakra's recovery, opened his eyes, and saw Shion like a frightened fawn. saw that her face was pale, her blue pupils projected a color of fear, and she had a panicked expression.

"Yo, eldest miss, aren't you not afraid of heaven and earth? Besides, you are a witch, how can you be afraid of ghosts?"

Sasuke looked heartless, and besides, Shion heard the schadenfreude from his tone, looking at Sasuke, a little girl-like resentment rose in Shion's heart for no reason, stomped his feet, and said, "You bastard, it's right that I'm a witch, but it's not my fault that I'm afraid of ghosts, and you don't know how to be considerate of me as a man?"

"Good, good. Sasuke waved his hand, "My eldest lady, it's all my fault, no, I didn't take into account your feelings, I apologize to you." ”

Although Sasuke's tone did not have any sincerity, it also made Shion's heart balance a lot, and he pouted slightly, and muttered, "Okay, bastard, I know you're tired, you can rest here, I'm not afraid." ”

As he spoke, Shion sat down next to Sasuke, buried her head in the crook of her knees, and said no more.

This little Nizi ......

Sasuke shook his head, closed his eyes, and continued to cultivate.

After a while, Shion raised his head, Sasuke's figure was reflected in his eyes, staying by Sasuke's side, Shion turned out to have a feeling of peace of mind, looking intently, a touch of brilliance gradually appeared on the jade-like face, thinking that this bastard was not so annoying at this time.

Feeling the silence brought by Sasuke, Shion relaxed a lot, moved her body a little, and finally was almost next to Sasuke, she wanted to experience this feeling more deeply.

"Hmph, it's cheaper for you. ”

Shion leaned lightly against Sasuke's side, keeping only a small distance, because she was weak and wanted to seek strong protection, and Sasuke was now her backer. By Sasuke's side, Shion seemed to have a feeling of being completely included, but just looking at him, the fear and hesitation in his heart disappeared......

Since Maitreya's death, Shion has not been able to feel this kind of peace of mind, she has lost her spiritual support and is in a panic, making a look of not entering to protect herself, and it has been more than ten years, if it weren't for the mission of the witch, she might have collapsed long ago.

In a peaceful mood, Ziyuan relaxed for a while, Ruyu's face revealed a peace of mind and smile that she hadn't seen for many years, and her consciousness gradually sank, because she didn't sleep last night, sleepiness struck, and she was about to fall asleep for a while.

Feeling the pressure on his shoulders, Sasuke opened his eyes, only to see Shion's cute childlike sleeping face, and the sound of her slight breathing was heard in his ears, soft. A few strands of hair swept across the side of his face in the breeze, tickling, and there was a faint fragrance from his nose, Sasuke knew that it was the smell of Aster, a mixture of lavender and orchid?

This is the first time she has slept so soundly, Sasuke knows how Shion has spent all these years, since she inherited the duties of the witch of the Oni Country, she has never fallen asleep peacefully, because of the prophecy, every time she will be awakened by the scene that appears in the dream.

Because of the power of prophecy, the people around Aster left her one by one, and under the separation of yin and yang, Aster was physically and mentally exhausted, afraid, terrified, and always worried, because of her power, once again involved innocent people, so that they died because of themselves and because of prophecy.

Looking at Shion's lovely sleeping face, the corners of Sasuke's mouth curled a little, sleep, I hope you can get rid of the nightmare as soon as possible, and after the monster, your fate will finally come to an end......

Without disturbing Shion, Sasuke closed his eyes and continued to cultivate, and at the same time, he departed a part of his spiritual power and covered the space within a hundred meters around him, using this method to be vigilant.

Shion had never felt so at ease, her consciousness became deeper and deeper, and she kept falling in the dark space, and finally, a scene appeared in front of her eyes.

It can be vaguely seen that it is a beautiful woman, wearing a shrine maiden costume like Shion, and she also has silver hair, which is seven points similar to Shion.

Seeing this woman, a strong emotional impulse appeared in Ziyuan's heart, and under this impulse, a force was stimulated from the body, and in the continuous fluctuations, the surrounding dark space gradually shattered, and the light came, and the woman's image became clearer.

Still the same as in his memory, Maitreya had a smile on his face, and beckoned to Aster, "Come on, Aster, come to Mom." ”

The gentle watery voice made Shion's heart tremble, and he stepped through the space under his feet, stirring up spatial fluctuations again.

"Mother's ......"
