After the witch Maitreya entered the door, a childlike voice sounded like a silver bell.

"Mother!"

Little Shion, who was wearing a kimono, ran over bouncingly and hugged Mitreya's thigh.

Zi Yuan is just six years old this year, her fair and tender face is covered with baby fat, she is as cute as a porcelain doll.

The maiden Maitreya's face was full of kindness, and she raised her hand to caress Shion's little head.

Ziyuan turned her head and saw the chief guard behind her mother, so she smiled and called, "Uncle Daohe."

The chief guard, Daohe, is a man in his thirties, and upon hearing this, he put on a smiling face, nodded and said, "Miss Ziyuan."

Ziyuan felt that Daohe was a bit rigid and boring, so she retracted her head and rubbed on Maitreya's leg.

"Ziyuan, mother has something to deal with later, you have to obediently go with Uncle Daohe, okay?"

Miroku Miroku said softly while stroking Shion's head.

She had already made all plans to sacrifice herself, but Shion, who was the next generation of shrine maiden, could do nothing.

Therefore, she intends to entrust Ziyuan to her most trusted subordinate.

Zi Yuan instinctively felt that something was wrong, so she hugged her mother's thigh tightly with her small arms, shook her head and said, "Zi Yuan wants to be with mother."

Daohe also heard something, and said anxiously: "Master Maitreya, do you want to..."

Halfway through speaking, Daohe paused and glanced at Ziyuan.

The witch Maitreya didn't want to hide it from Shion, and said calmly:

"I'm going to seal the demon, and Ziyuan will be taken care of by you. You are my most trusted subordinate, and I believe you can take good care of Ziyuan."

Daohe said anxiously: "Master Maitreya, you... did you predict it?"

Miko has the ability to predict the death of people around her, and this ability is actually a kind of protection for Miko herself.

If Maitreya foresees the death of others, it means that this person will die to protect the witch.

Maitreya's intention is to let Daohe run away with Xiao Ziyuan, and come back when the storm subsides.

In Daohe's view, if Maitreya really foresaw his death, he would probably let him stay away early.

After all, Daohe was Maitreya's most trusted subordinate for many years.

"If you foresee it, then this is also my mission, and I will not run away."

Daohe's eyes are firm.

However, a trace of doubt flashed in Mi Le's eyes.

She whispered: "It's strange, I didn't predict anything this time. It's clearly decided..."

But then, she smiled again and said:

"However, if there is no one who can replace my death in the future, then I will not be able to predict it."

Having said that, Maitreya was also relieved.

Every time she encountered a life-and-death crisis before, she was able to avoid disasters through foresight.

Now, unforeseen circumstances arise.

In other words, the decision she made was either not to die, or no one could replace her, so she would definitely die.

And according to the secrets passed down from generation to generation by the witches, the only way to seal the sprites is to sacrifice one's own life.

So this time after she made a decision, she didn't predict the future, which is quite normal.

The one who died could only be herself.

Daohe seemed to be struck by lightning, and then hurriedly said: "Let me go with you, maybe I can replace you..."

In the middle of speaking, Daohe's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally fell silent.

The witch's prophecy did not make a single mistake.

In other words, even if he goes, he cannot change the future.

Ziyuan quit, crying, "I won't leave, I want to be with my mother!"

Maitreya's heart softened, and there were tears in her eyes, but she held it back firmly.

"Well, let's make a deal."

at this time.

A hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind, and both Mitreya and Daohe were startled.

Inohe instantly pulled out the samurai sword from his waist, turned around to block Maitreya, and shouted vigilantly, "Who are you!"

Mitreya looked at the door, the door of the room was still closed.

Looking back at the man who appeared suddenly, he saw that he was wearing a mask and some retro armor.

It's like a ninja from the Warring States Period decades ago.

Uchiha Xia controlled the wooden avatar, and said lightly:

"Don't be nervous. You see, Maitreya didn't predict death. Either, I won't kill her, or, no one can stop me."

Daohe's heart sank, even though he knew what the masked man was telling the truth, he still couldn't relax his vigilance.

But in fact, Uchiha Xia was able to appear here so quietly, without even leaving the door, which already explained the problem.

They alone can't stop it.

Little Ziyuan wasn't afraid at first, but when Inahe drew out her samurai sword so vigilantly, she was startled and quickly hid behind Mitreya.

The witch raised her hand and pressed it on Inagi's shoulder, but Inagi had no choice but to put down the samurai sword.

"Excuse me, what do you mean by the transaction?" The witch tried to maintain a kind smile, although the smile seemed a little stiff.

Uchiha Natsu said calmly in the voice of Senshou Kagami: "I can save you from dying, and at the same time eliminate the sprites. But relatively, you have to promise me a few conditions in exchange."

Just now, after Uchiha Xia heard the conversation between the two, he immediately separated the wooden clone and sneaked in under control.

Anyway, he was going to deal with the sprites, so he just took advantage of this opportunity~lightnovelpub.net~ to blackmail him.

This is double harvest, double charge.

When Maitreya heard this, his eyes lit up, but he quickly covered it up.

No one wants to die if it is not necessary, and Maitreya is the same.

In particular, she also has a six-year-old daughter, which is what worries her the most.

It was only when there was no other way that he would entrust it to the head of the bodyguard, Daohe. If there was any possibility, he would still want to guard Ziyuan by himself.

Uchiha Xia keenly caught the expression of Miko Maitreya, so she became more determined.

But the guard Daohe said suspiciously:

"Why should we trust you? Besides, sprites are monsters from another world, possessing very powerful power, and not everyone can defeat them."

Mitreya also looked at Uchiha Xia with an inquiring look.

After listening to this for so long, Xiao Ziyuan only remembered one thing, and that was that this masked uncle might save her mother.

Therefore, Ziyuan poked her head out from behind Maitreya, looking expectantly at the masked uncle.

The corners of Uchiha Natsu's mouth curled up under Natsu's mask, and chakra poured into the ground through his feet.

"Clang!"

Then, a wooden stick rushed out from under Dao He's feet in an instant.

Before Daohe could react, the samurai sword in his hand was knocked away by the wooden stick.

The powerful force directly caused the samurai sword to fly upwards, piercing through the roof.

A large hole appeared above.

The sand and soil fell down and poured on Daohe's head, making him look ashamed.

The wooden stick was lifted and turned into Chakra to dissipate, and then Uchiha Xia said lightly: "You should have heard my name, but I still introduce myself."

"My name is Qianshoushenjian, a hunter who has traveled the world."
