A purple bead, resembling the jewel of four souls, dropped onto the table.
Lynn picked it up, flicked it with his finger, and popped it into his mouth.
Crunch, crunch—
Mmm…
Tastes like chicken, crispy!
This scene left Tsuiko dumbfounded!
Inside the jewel of four souls, there was no shortage of vengeful spirits of Great Demons!
And they were just… eaten??
Kikyo also stared at the jewel of four souls, which had lost its luster and turned into an ordinary jade bead, falling silent.
Lord Lynn's solution was truly simple and brutal…
However…
This only showed that Lord Lynn's power was something she couldn't even imagine at the moment!
For her, and even for her idol, Priestess Tsuiko, it was an extremely troublesome existence, one that could only be barely sealed.
Facing Lord Lynn, they were completely powerless!
Perhaps…
To be a priestess for such an existence was also a kind of fortune?
Tsuiko's expression changed repeatedly.
She knew more than Kikyo.
She also understood that Great Demons were nothing in the eyes of certain existences.
But…
That was the consciousness of seven or eight Great Demons!
And it even included many demons of varying power levels!
Combined, they were an existence far surpassing a Great Demon!
If it weren't for the characteristics of her spiritual power and soul, it would have been impossible to seal them within the jewel of four souls!
Yet…
Tsuiko looked at Lynn with complex eyes.
Who exactly was he?
After devouring the demonic consciousness, Lynn's brows twitched slightly.
As expected of the jewel of four souls, coveted by numerous demons, even Great Demons.
Just a single aggregated demonic consciousness had pushed his already Demon Lord class strength up a few notches.
It was indeed a great tonic!
"Alright, that's settled. Next…"
After savoring the experience pill, Lynn glanced at the two priestesses and the priestess-in-training, saying with a smile, "It's time to talk about business."
Upon hearing this, Kikyo didn't hesitate. Her clear, cold eyes fixed on Lynn's, and she said directly, "I will serve you, Lord Lynn."
In her heart, Lynn, who had solved the problem of the jewel of four souls, was no different from a god!
Moreover, since it had already been agreed upon, Kikyo naturally wouldn't go back on her word.
Lynn grinned, clapped his hands, "Kikyo, you truly keep your promises."
Then Lynn looked at Higurashi Kagome.
Higurashi Kagome weakly raised her hand and said, "Me, me too…"
Finally, all three turned their gaze to Tsuiko.
Tsuiko: "…"
She awkwardly wiggled her toes.
Wh-what's going on?
"Will you be my priestess?"
Lynn invited her.
"Pri-priestess?"
Tsuiko's face flushed, clearly understanding Lynn's meaning.
0 Request for flowers
To, to serve him?
However…
After thinking it over, Tsuiko awkwardly said, "O-okay…"
She agreed that easily?
Surprise flashed in Higurashi Kagome's eyes.
Tsuiko also had her own considerations.
Firstly, she was already dead.
What was here was merely her soul.
Secondly, Lynn had, after all, pulled her back from the eternal, painful struggle within the jewel of four souls.
She was filled with gratitude towards Lynn.
Moreover, Lynn had also resolved the jewel of four souls.
So…
Offering this useless soul-body to Lynn was her only way to repay him!
Seeing this, Lynn nodded in satisfaction.
Three more dependents acquired.
And…
The quality this time was very high…
Aside from Higurashi Kagome, Kikyo and Tsuiko were both powerful priestesses!
Especially Tsuiko, who, solely with the power of her soul, was able to maintain a bizarre balance with that demonic consciousness within the jewel of four souls.
Lynn was somewhat eager to try his luck.
"In that case, let's start by taking off your clothes!"
"?"
Higurashi Kagome was utterly dumbfounded: "Take off my clothes?!"
Kikyo was also a bit silent.
Tsuiko opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but finally lowered her head, her expression strange, "Can souls also take off clothes?"
Just as she was thinking this, her clothes suddenly vanished with a whoosh, revealing only her fair body.
"Ah!"
Tsuiko hurriedly hugged her body, covering some important areas, her head so hot it felt like it was about to smoke!
Higurashi Kagome looked at Tsuiko with complex eyes, "As expected of… a mature adult…"
Tsuiko's speed in taking off her clothes completely astonished her.
She was truly too bold!
Kikyo also looked at Tsuiko in disbelief.
Her idol image instantly crumbled!
Tsuiko-sama…
Is she really such a wanton person?
Tsuiko flailed her arms in a panic, and finally, with a thought, she put her clothes back on.
Then, with a flushed face, she stared at the ground, curling her toes.
But…
She passed right through, as expected.
The simple thatched hut fell into a silent atmosphere.
Finally, Kikyo spoke.
Her eyes showed understanding, and she said with certainty, "I understand."
"It's a purification ritual, isn't it…?"
Hearing Kikyo's words, Higurashi Kagome also suddenly understood.
Indeed, there was such a record in the knowledge of shrine maidens.
Her family also ran a shrine, so she had some understanding.
The so-called purification ritual refers to a ceremony to cleanse the body and mind of impurities, awaiting the descent of a deity!
Hmm…
Lynn's request was quite reasonable…
Higurashi Kagome affirmed, "That's right! It's a purification ritual!"
Lynn was silent.
Was that what he meant?
With the explanation of a purification ritual, Tsuiko, Kikyo, and Higurashi Kagome all breathed a sigh of relief.
Kikyo said, "There's a natural hot spring not far from the shrine."
"We can go there to perform the purification ritual."
"Wow!"
Higurashi Kagome's eyes lit up, "It's a hot spring!"
Tsuiko also missed the feeling of soaking in a hot spring; she just wondered if a soul body would feel anything.
Immediately, three pairs of expectant eyes looked at Lynn.
Seeing this, Lynn nodded and said, "Then let's go soak in the hot spring."
As for whether it was a purification ritual?
Lynn saw their high spirits and naturally said nothing to spoil the mood.
Speaking of which.
As their deity.
Watching the purification ritual process was also very reasonable, wasn't it?
Lynn hadn't soaked in a hot spring for a long time either, so it was a good chance to relax.
