By the small lake, Mu-on'na held Inuyasha in her arms. At this moment, Inuyasha was completely immersed in Mu-on'na's illusion.
His body had already been half-devoured by Mu-on'na, and it seemed they were about to merge.
Jaken paddled a small boat from the lake to the shore. Seeing Inuyasha about to be devoured, he immediately jumped off the boat in anger:
"Hey, Mu-on'na!"
He ran to Mu-on'na's side, swung his Human Head Staff directly at her face, and rebuked, "What if you suck him to death all at once?"
Mu-on'na, who had been struck with a staff, dared not show any anger and respectfully said to Jaken, "Jaken-sama."
Jaken snorted coldly and said, "How you ultimately deal with this brat is up to you, but before that, have you found out the information Lord Sesshomaru wants?"
"Inuyasha and Lord Sesshomaru's father's burial place!"
Mu-on'na looked at the furious Jaken and gently nodded. She hugged Inuyasha tightly in her arms and coaxed in a gentle voice, "Inuyasha... Inuyasha, quickly remember, where is your father's grave?"
Inuyasha, with his eyes tightly shut, spoke like he was delirious, "I... I don't... know."
"Think harder. Let Mama see the deepest secret within your heart..."
Inuyasha's brows furrowed tightly as if in great pain, but in the end, he still mumbled a sentence: "The black pearl on the right..."
Jaken, standing by, heard this sentence and repeated it, mumbling, "The black pearl on the right? That alone isn't enough. Ask for more clarity."
Mu-on'na heard Jaken's command and quickly said, "Jaken-sama, if this continues, this child's soul will collapse..."
This was Mu-on'na's nature; although she would devour children who had lost their parents, she would also instinctively protect children. Many demons in the Inuyasha world possessed such duality.
Just like the Thunder Brothers before, they had no feelings for other demons and humans, but they were full of brotherly affection for each other.
Jaken naturally had no pity for Inuyasha and immediately roared, "No matter what, completing Lord Sesshomaru's task is the most important thing..."
Just as he was scolding Mu-on'na, his hand suddenly felt empty. His Human Head Staff was directly snatched by Kagome, who had been hiding nearby.
"Get out of my way!"
The domineering Kagome swung Jaken directly into the water as if wielding a baseball bat.
"Inuyasha!!"
She shouted as she rushed towards Mu-on'na, but Mu-on'na's movements were agile, easily dodging Kagome's attack.
However, Kagome, possessing a Miko's intuition, quickly sensed Mu-on'na's weakness. Her gaze fell upon the nearby lake water; the reflection within it was the key to breaking Mu-on'na's illusion and stopping her from devouring Inuyasha.
Kagome jumped into the water without hesitation, and ripples instantly destroyed Mu-on'na's illusion.
Accompanied by a scream, Inuyasha, who was about to merge into Mu-on'na's body, was 'spit' out.
The illusion instantly dispelled, and Inuyasha opened his eyes, glaring fiercely at Mu-on'na and saying, "You scoundrel, impersonating my mother to deceive me..."
Kagome also ran out of the water onto the shore, supporting the weak Inuyasha, and explained, "It's that Sesshomaru and his subordinate who did this..."
Inuyasha's face showed a hint of anger after being tricked: "What did you say?"
Just then, Sesshomaru's voice came from afar: "Inuyasha, I already know where Father's grave is..."
Inuyasha turned his head angrily to look at Sesshomaru and shouted, "Sesshomaru..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, Sesshomaru, who was still far away just a moment ago, appeared beside Inuyasha in a blink of an eye. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Inuyasha's neck: "I never thought it would be hidden in such a place... It actually escaped my Sesshomaru's eyes."
"Father really hid his grave in a strange place, the black pearl on the right..."
He sneered and extended his hand, pointing two fingers at Inuyasha's eye. A surge of power erupted, and a black pearl flew out from Inuyasha's right eye.
Yang Tao, in mid-air, was dumbfounded, though he wasn't just finding this out.
'Could it be... that the eyes of the Dog Demon clan are also plug-and-play?'
He silently muttered a complaint, which didn't change anything. Sesshomaru pinched the black pearl and said, "No wonder I couldn't find Father's grave... A place the true grave keeper would never see, it turns out it refers to the black pearl hidden in your eye."
Inuyasha covered his right eye and angrily retorted to Sesshomaru, "Just for this, you had someone impersonate my mother..."
Sesshomaru snorted and said with a smile, "It was just a side show..."
"Bastard, I won't forgive you!"
Inuyasha roared, preparing to rush towards Sesshomaru, but Sesshomaru merely brought his index and middle fingers together. A light whip appeared at the tips of his two fingers and quickly lashed towards Inuyasha.
Do not underestimate this finger-thin light whip; its power is extremely strong, even stronger than Inuyasha's Iron Reaver Soul Stealer. Ordinary humans and demons would be torn to pieces if struck by it.
Inuyasha dodged left and right, but having been weakened by Mu-on'na, he was eventually struck by a whip. The incredibly strong Fire Rat Robe blocked most of the attack, but the intense pain still made Inuyasha reach out to cover his chest, half-kneeling on the ground.
Sesshomaru saw this and a cold smile appeared on his face:
"Die!"
The light whip lashed towards Inuyasha again. This time, it seemed intent on sending Inuyasha to the Underworld, but just as the light whip was about to strike Inuyasha, Mu-on'na, dressed in a kimono, suddenly threw herself in front of Inuyasha.
Instantly, Mu-on'na was torn into fragments by Sesshomaru's light whip.
This scene shocked both Inuyasha and Kagome. Inuyasha looked at the kimono falling onto his shoulder and was speechless for a long time.
Kagome was even more dumbfounded, mumbling, "Wu... Mu-on'na saved Inuyasha?"
Myoga, the walking encyclopedia, stood on Kagome's shoulder and explained, "Mu-on'na is a demon formed from the resentment of a mother missing her child, so protecting children at all costs is her nature..."
Mu-on'na, with only her head remaining, fell to the ground, still muttering, "Child... child..."
Sesshomaru said nothing, raised his arm, and prepared to conjure a light whip to finish off Mu-on'na, but Yang Tao appeared beside him and grabbed his wrist.
"Sesshomaru, I want Mu-on'na... Quickly open Douya King's grave, don't wait for me to change my mind."
He simply felt that Mu-on'na was good, without any particular reason.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Yang Tao who had suddenly appeared beside him, and asked, "Who are you?"
"Me? Just an unknown fortune-teller. Here's my business card."
A golden business card was shoved into Sesshomaru's embrace by Yang Tao, who then said indifferently, "I'm not interested in your father's inheritance."
What I'm interested in is your severed arm and the Tenseiga at your waist.
However, the current Tenseiga is not in its complete form at all.
He released his hand and landed beside Mu-on'na's head, extending a hand glowing with green light. In an instant, Mu-on'na, whose body had been shattered, rapidly grew a new body under his treatment.
However, she had no clothes. Well... Mu-on'na's body and face were actually the same, nothing at all.
He dodged Sesshomaru's light whip by turning his body.
Yang Tao sighed.
"Indeed, it still comes down to talking with fists."
