Kikyo asked Shippo for something... Kikyo wouldn't do this for no reason. Kagome thought for a moment, and patted Shippo on the back, "Shippo, did you hide something?"

"Woo."

Shippo raised his head with a sob, nodded, and took out a green thing from his arms.

Everyone looked over, it was a leaf, wrapped in something, the moment it was taken out, Kagome immediately understood it when she felt the overflowing breath.

"Is this... a fragment of the Four Souls Jade?"

Shippo nodded again, he was so scared that he couldn't speak, holding the leaf and looked at Kikyo pitifully, and tremblingly put the leaf in the palm of her hand.

So scary... Miko, he quickly withdrew his hand and shuddered again in Kagome's arms.

Feeling Shippo's movements, Kagome smiled, "It's okay Shippo, Kikyo is a good person, she won't do anything to you."

"It's just that why are you hiding underground? When you jumped out, I thought it was a monster that was going to attack by surprise."

Sangu also echoed, "If it wasn't for A Li's quick words, my flying bone would have been thrown out."

I thought it was another small monster that was peeping at the fragments of the Four Souls Jade in their hands. Countless monsters have come to them recently. Kagome is deeply suspicious that in addition to the attraction of the Four Souls Jade itself, there is also that guy Naraku who is making things difficult for them.

For a small monster like Shippo, it's basically a matter of Inuyasha's claws.

Fortunately, Inuyasha is not here, Kagome secretly rejoices.

Kagome gently comforted Shippo and wiped away her tears, but the tears could not stop, and they kept coming more and more.

"Wuwu, I, I... Wuwu, A Li!! My father is going to die, wuwawawa!"

Father... Shippo's father, a big fox appeared in Kagome's mind.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be... No, no, Kagome calmed down. Shippo was not talking about death. There was still hope.

"Don't worry, Shippo, calm down. What's going on? Where is your father? Let's go save him."

She glanced at Shippo, a monster that Kagome knew. Her eyes softened a lot. Of course, she did not ignore the fear in the other's eyes. She was frightened by the arrow she had just shot. After hesitating for a moment, Kikyo took two steps back.

Shippo tried to control her emotions.

"Wow... It's the Thunder Beast brothers. They got the Four Souls Jade fragments from nowhere, and then they attacked monsters with fragments everywhere."

Kagome's heart sank. It was just as he expected...

"My father picked up one by chance. He had been sealing it with fox magic and had not been discovered, but..."

When she thought of this, Shippo's tears began to flow again, "It's all my fault. I sneaked out to play and ran into the Thunder Beast brothers and was caught by them."

"In order to save me, my father said that he would use the Four Souls Jade fragments in exchange for my life."

As a result... Shippo clenched his fists angrily, "It's a lie! Those two bastards not only wanted the Four Souls Jade fragments, but also wanted my father's fur to make a cape!"

"Fortunately, my father was alert. When they were not paying attention during the transaction, he took me and the fragments and ran away. I don't know how long I ran. I kept hiding everywhere and hiding in the caves under the ground."

Kagome loosened her hand. Fortunately... I was still alive.

But since he was hiding underground, Kagome asked hurriedly, "So, Shippo, is your father down there?"

However, when Shippo heard Kagome's words, he was not happy at first, but lowered his head and clasped his hands sadly, "No, not here."

"Huh?" Kagome was surprised.

"No, my father was seriously injured, and the Thunder Beast brothers have been looking for us... So, so, I, I thought if I throw away the fragments, they might not look for us..."

"..."

Kagome thought about it and thought of a possibility, "Shippo, you are not, lost?"

Shippo lowered his head even lower, almost buried in his clothes.

Okay, guessed right.

Perhaps because the silence lasted too long, Shippo tried to save face, "Running on the ground is too obvious, I have been digging holes underground, smelling the smell to identify the direction without the Thunder Beast brothers... Anyway, I just need to throw away the fragments, it doesn't matter where I go."

Shippo's embarrassed look made Kagome want to laugh, and considering how much the child had suffered, he nodded in affirmation.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Even Miroku praised, "Oh~ You are really smart and courageous."

While praising, he did not forget to give suggestions, "In fact, you can make a fake fragment of the Four Souls Jade and give it to another monster, instigate them to fight for the fragment, and then they find out that the fragment is fake and think that the other party has already snatched it, so they fight even harder. This trick is called diverting trouble..."

Qibao froze.

As Miroku was talking, he felt something was wrong... Several people focused their attention on the leaf in Kikyo's hand.

Kikyo was stunned, subconsciously glanced at Kagome, hesitantlyRaise your hand and open the leaf.

Empty.

A gust of wind blew, and the leaf left Kikyo's palm and floated farther and farther away.

Miroku:...

Coral:...

Kagome:...

The scene was awkward for a while.

Kagome sighed and put Shippo down.

The tall shadow enveloped Shippo, who was sweating and shaking all over.

"Eh, that..."

Kagome pinched Shippo's cheek and pulled it with a fake smile.

"Shippo~"

Good boy, we are connected by heart, and you are playing tricks on me?

"I'm sorry——"

After a long begging for mercy, Shippo took the rice ball handed over by Kagome with a red and swollen cheek and gobbled it up.

"So the real Four Souls Jade fragment is still with your father, and you are holding a fake one and preparing to die with the Thunder Beast brothers?"

Kagome was a little amused. She was quite brave. Such a child was thinking of dying together if the plan failed.

"Yes, ahwu... Anyway, my father will avenge me after he recovers. My father is very powerful, but ahwu, I guess I will never be able to avenge him in my lifetime." Chew, chew, chew, the rice ball is really delicious.

"What a careful and courageous child." Coral exclaimed, and handed over another rice ball.

Kagome noticed the content of Shippo's words, "Then what is the other monster you are planning to find?"

"It's a wolf."

After swallowing the last bite, Shippo said in a deep voice, "The owner of this mountain, the young master of the wolf clan, Steel Fang."

Kagome's face changed when she saw the familiar name. She looked in the direction of the mountain. It turned out that this was Steel Fang's territory.

"Steel Fang..." Miroku narrowed his eyes and touched his chin.

"Master, do you know him?" Shippo was surprised.

"Haha, I don't know him."

"..." Dead fish eyes.

Kagome suddenly realized, Gangya, territory... Oh no! Isn't the forest that Inuyasha just entered Gangya's territory? !

He picked up his bow and arrow, stood up suddenly, and ran towards the grove.

"I'll go find Inuyasha!"

Coral and Miroku didn't understand, but subconsciously stood up to chase him, but were stopped by a hand, and the two looked up.

Kikyo?

Miss Kikyo?

"I'll go."

She glanced at Shippo, who froze and carefully moved towards Coral.

"You stay."

Coral noticed, understood, and smiled and agreed, "Okay." Was she worried that Shippo would let them stay to take care of him...
