Li, who had been silent since a while ago, suddenly spoke.
"I'm not saying this is a bad plan."
"But isn't this practice... a little too cruel for this child?"
Li asked.
Her right hand was placed on Kaguya Otsutsuki's head.
Kaguya Otsutsuki is very well-behaved.
He stood right next to the girl, not moving an inch.
This is also because, at this moment, she can only feel a sense of security from Li.
——Simple children always have very sharp intuition.
She can always intuitively sense other people's "malice" towards her.
This is her innate ability and has nothing to do with the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan.
At the same time, I felt Kaguya Otsutsuki's timidity.
Li's attitude became more and more firm.
"If, as you said before, she has already eaten the chakra fruit, then it's fine."
"But now, she hasn't eaten the chakra fruit yet, and it seems that there is still room for improvement in the plan."
The girl said softly.
If it's a done deal, she won't force it.
But if nothing has happened yet, she will try her best to pursue a better outcome.
As for what should be done specifically to achieve this result?
"I do not know either."
Rei replied with a smile.
But there was no expression of doubt on his face.
She already had an idea.
But I need to find another person to confirm it.
"So, I decided to go home and ask my mom."
Chapter 41: Sacrifice brings great ambition
Maple Village.
Nanxing's home.
The girl was telling her mother the stories that happened along the way in vivid detail.
Of course, in these stories, she deliberately exaggerated her role and omitted some things that were not suitable for her mother to know.
For example, she only talked about how bravely she rescued Yanma Ai and brought that stupid little sister Ai away from the hell of hatred.
But he never mentioned the time when he was doing whatever he wanted in Edo Castle.
For example, she would say that she displayed enough personal charm to make a great monster like Gu Mingji Jue admire her wholeheartedly.
But she would not say that she actually made the pink-haired loli unconscious by "forcing her to drink", and finally signed the contract with her while she was in a daze.
And now, she told her mother about Kaguya Otsutsuki again:
"That little girl is so funny."
"He has a pair of horns on his head and his skin is as white as snow. He looks more like a demon than Sister Suika."
"I fell in love with her at first sight, and with a little trick, I made that guy admire me so much that he cried and begged to recognize me as his big brother!"
"I really couldn't persuade her, so I had to agree."
"However, if you want to be my little brother, it's not that easy. You have to bring something as a gift."
"When she heard this, she volunteered to go back to her ancestral land to get the offerings for her ancestors. I wanted to refuse, but after all, it was the child's sincere heart, so I couldn't bear it."
The girl boasted.
However, the entire process of the incident has been changed beyond recognition.
Kikyo listened to the girl's story with a smile.
As a mother, she naturally knows her daughter very well.
She can easily tell which words are true and which are false.
——I'm afraid that apart from the name and that "Chakra Fruit", nothing is true.
But Kikyo still listened calmly to the girl's story which was completely inconsistent with reality.
The fact that she was able to come up with such a story shows that she put a lot of effort into it.
However, when the girl finished telling the story, she was eagerly waiting for her mother's comments.
Kikyo skipped this step and asked directly:
"Is there nothing else to say?"
"???"
“As far as the story goes, it’s pretty good.”
"But if it's a parting gift, it's a little boring."
"..."
The girl was silent.
She stood there, looking at her mother, the expression on her face constantly changing.
It seems like he wants to laugh, but can't.
In the end, all she could show was a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Mom, you...ah."
"Did Dad ever say that at certain times, you are really boring?"
"..."
This time it was Kikyo's turn to be speechless.
Because Nanxing did say that.
And more than once.
But, is it her fault?
As a human being, how could she be more "interesting" than the immortal Penglai people?
"cough--"
Appropriate jokes cover up the sadness.
Kikyo looked at her daughter as if she were looking at herself back then.
Although Li didn't tell anyone.
But she knew exactly what her daughter wanted to do:
"I will admit it, I will allow it, I will bear the responsibility (of the age of monsters)."
Although this may sound childish, it is exactly what a fourteen-year-old girl should think about.
She was determined to stand in front of the wheel of the times and become that ridiculous, overestimating mantis.
As for why it was her.
"There's no one better than me, right?"
Li said with a smile, and took out the chakra fruit that Kaguya Otsutsuki had risked her life to obtain.
On the small wooden table, the fruit symbolizing the vitality of the planet exudes a magnificent light.
Just like a girl's life.
Brilliant as a song.
……
This was actually a decision made by the girl herself.
Moreover, she did not consult anyone before making this decision.
——Because she knew that if she made this suggestion, her old father would definitely try his best to stop her.
"My father seems to be very generous, but he is actually very petty."
"He has always only cared about his own little piece of land. He doesn't care about the lives of others."
"Besides, he always likes to make simple things very complicated. He also makes things that should be very complicated simple."

Li Rui commented.
Kikyo nodded slightly.
Her daughter's thoughts were exactly what she thought.
From this point of view, Li indeed inherited her advantages.
But at the same time, it is distressing.
Li inherited more than just her advantages.
"If someone has to sacrifice, why can't that person be me?"
"Besides, that person was originally mine, right?"
she said with a smile.
It seems as if he doesn't take his own "life" seriously at all.
But Kikyo knew that these were definitely not words that could be said by someone who ignored his own life.
.... ........ 0
In fact, quite the opposite.
Only those who cherish life to the extreme can have such awareness.
"Well, it seems that I spoke too harshly."
"After all, I'm not going to die."
"It's just that from now on, I won't be able to come to this world easily anymore."
"If mom wants to see me, she can find me in another world."
"I'll leave a back door for you, mom."
Li said solemnly.
Then, she stood up, picked up the chakra fruit on the table, and prepared to leave.
——She must leave quietly while Nanxing is away.
Then, go and carry out the "grand plan" in your mind.
however.
"what!"
When the girl confidently opened the door and prepared to leave a very chic back view for her mother.
An unexpected face appeared in front of her.
The distance was so close, so close that it was almost touching her face.
"Ah, Dad..."
The girl was almost frightened silly, as if she had done something wrong.
