I'm the heroine of a love game in a comic book

Chapter 154: White Porcelain Slight Flaw

Xuejian’s dowry included a pair of porcelain dolls.

They were shipped from a distant place and were worth a fortune. They were the one-year-old gifts given by the city lord to Xuejian's mother when she had just given birth to her and was still favored.

The dolls are made of fine white porcelain. Both dolls are wearing complicated clothes. One of them holds a fan in her hand to cover half of her face, looking gentle and lovely, while the other one is smiling and bowing, with a simple and honest face showing joy.

Yuecheng Xuejian's mother often said that she wanted to be as gentle, virtuous, and extremely beautiful as this porcelain doll, and then marry a good husband and her life would be over.

When Yuecheng Xuejian was nestling in his lap and saying this, her hands were dishonestly touching the porcelain doll and making kissing gestures.

"If you are not honest, how can you be virtuous?"

"What's the point of talking about virtue and chastity with monsters? Monsters should be free."

Yuecheng Xuejian smiled, threw away the porcelain doll and started to play with his hair hanging on his chest. The seaweed-like hair was bent and straightened at her fingertips. Soon she got tired of it and pulled the quilt over her to take a nap.

The life of a noble lady is boring and dull, just confined to the mansion. Especially now that she is blind, if Naraku is not with her, Li Zi said that sometimes she can sit under the porch and listen to the chirping of sparrows all day long.

Every time he thought of it, Naraku felt a sinking pain in his heart.

But Yuecheng Xuejian didn't know this. She was always happy in front of Naraku and never complained about anything. She just sometimes said:

"Naraku, Naraku, what do you look like now? I really want to see you."

This has been the question Tsukishiro Yukimi asks most often since she learned that he could change his face at will.

Naraku didn't respond, but hugged her silently.

Naraku felt that Tsukishiro Yukimi was indeed like a porcelain doll.

It was white, clean and heavy. He held it in both hands and wiped it from time to time, for fear that it would break in his hands.

There was a crack on the porcelain doll.

There were two to be exact. One of them had already cracked when it was handed to him, but it was just a small crack on the back, so he pretended not to see it.

But he saw this crack with his own eyes and even chiseled it out with his own hands.

From the first moment he saw her, he knew that she was not the quiet and gentle girl that others described her as. Even after he knew that he was a monster, he pretended to be panicked and was eager to try. From then on, Naraku began to look forward to the day when this exquisite doll would be shattered in his hands.

Fortunately, Naraku stopped this idea in time after only two cracks appeared, and now the porcelain doll is still in his hands.

It was not until the end that Naraku realized that Tsukishiro Yukie was happy that her husband was different from others and not the upright gentleman described in the books.

She is rebellious at heart, as can be seen from her elopement with the peddler.

Monsters represent something that is not in line with the mundane world and are a scar on human society.

And it just so happened that she possessed spiritual powers, so she simply chose to go along with a half-demon like me.

What she did as a human was not thorough at all, just like what he did as a monster was not thorough at all.

How alike they are.

However, at this time, Naraku had not yet discovered their similarities. In his eyes, Tsukishiro Yukimi was just a fragile porcelain doll. Not to mention that she was not of the same species as him, she was not even a real person.

So Naraku's treatment of her was only out of primitive desire for plunder and possession, wanting to turn prey into meat in his mouth.

But Yuecheng Xuejian has learned to take advantage of every opportunity.

During the two years of living together, quarrels were inevitable. The most serious one was when Naraku pinched her neck and really wanted to swallow her into his stomach, to truly make her a part of his body, to belong to him completely.

Yuecheng Xuejian stuck her neck out and refused to beg for mercy. During the argument, the white silk was pulled off, revealing her eyes.

Naraku retracted his hand.

A few days later, either Naraku brought her some new toys, or Xuejian ran to the basement awkwardly, and they made peace.

This kind of thing happened many times in the past two years. The two of them gradually got used to each other and finally developed a tacit understanding.

Naraku gradually realized that his initial "liking" for Tsukishiro Yukimi was because of her cleverness and tact in order to protect herself. Her own will was not important, she was just a puppet for him to manipulate.

But Tsukishiro Yukimi is not a puppet after all.

From the moment Naraku saw Kikyo, he knew that Tsukishiro Yukimi would not let this matter go easily.

She may not know Kikyo's origin, or the "evil fate" between his Demon Spider Heart and Kikyo. She is just dissatisfied with her own scheming against the demon hunter's family, and she doesn't like the Four Souls Jade, so she finds a witch to piss him off.

But it happened to be Platycodon.

How come Kikyo appears here?

The spider pattern on his back began to burn, which made him upset and exposed his true colors. Xuejian easily heard his absent-mindedness.

Then they quarreled again over the Four Souls Jade.

A long-lost murderous intent arose in his heart, but he quickly extinguished it. One of the reasons why he wanted to obtain the Four Souls Jade was because of Yuecheng Xuejian. With the Four Souls Jade, he could become a great monster, get rid of his current embarrassing identity, and cure Xuejian's eyes.

So why didn't she appreciate it and run away?

Kammu Kagura created all his clones according to Xuejian's preferences. He thought that according to the tacit understanding between the two, Xuejian would come over awkwardly after he took out the rare thing, and then they would make peace with each other, just like before.

I didn't expect she thought so.

He casually gave his clones a task and drove them away, then came to the courtyard alone. Looking at the increasingly lush vines, Naraku discovered that he didn't know Tsukishiro Yukimi very well.

Inuyasha is always noisy. I really don’t know why Tsukishiro Yukimi likes dogs.

The reincarnation of Kikyo, the human girl, aimed her magic-destroying arrow at him but was slow to shoot.

"Naraku, are you here for the Four Souls Jewel fragments or your human wife?"

"Don't be ridiculous, I just want to get her spiritual power."

"Really? Then I can't forgive you, you bastard who deceives people's feelings."

The girl was furious and shot the arrow without hesitation.

"Xuejian likes you so much, but she doesn't want to give up on you even though you live such a miserable life. You've been using her all along!"

Naraku couldn't understand why, in the two years he had been with her, Tsukishiro Xuejian's spiritual power had become increasingly weaker. According to his standards, Xuejian should have been abandoned long ago, but he just wanted to find her back and find a way to nurture her spiritual veins.

He thought Xuejian was the wisteria that lived by clinging to him, but it turned out that the tree was even better off without him.

She can leave at any time. Without him, Naraku's blindness is not a big deal. He turned out to be an dispensable person. Tsukishiro Xuejian stayed because she respected him!

Without intention of collecting the fragments of the Four Souls Jade, Naraku swore that he must bring Tsukishiro Yukimi back, turn her into Shido who can only depend on him, and turn her into a porcelain doll on his desk. Since she likes him, why not just stay here? Why leave?
