Since it was decided, let's just do it.
No sooner said than done, without a moment's hesitation.
Xia gave Sukuna some more food and drink, said nothing, and simply picked him up and bolted in the opposite direction.
That's right, Xia had returned to the place where she originally stayed.
To put it simply, she flew a round trip.
She literally, actually flew a round trip.
As mentioned before, Cangyun still stored other Cursed Tools of all types, with Special Grade and Grade 1 ones being quite numerous, while Grade 3 and 4 ones were virtually nonexistent.
Among them was a supportive Special Grade Cursed Tool, though it could barely be called Special Grade purely because of its functional nature.
This Cursed Tool had no offensive capability whatsoever, but its other abilities were exceptionally outstanding.
One of its defining features was the ability to carry people through flight.
Well, for details, just imagine the legendary somersault cloud.
Its name was Mianyun.
It looked like a huge, snow-white mass of clouds next to cotton.
It could grow or shrink at will, and its flying speed was extremely fast.
Carrying two little kids was not a problem at all.
Returning to that original area, Xia still didn't stop, but pressed on, heading precisely in the direction opposite to the small village she came from.
After who knows how long, signs of human habitation began to appear sporadically.
Scattered across that region were small villages of all sizes.
Not far from the villages, there were even towns.
Well, not bad, this was quite a good place indeed.
Unlike the remote village from before, these villages and towns were not so backward and ignorant—relatively speaking, of course.
Glancing at little Sukuna, Xia took out the clothes she used to wear when she was small—a somewhat oversized kimono, a miniature women's kimono—and slipped it onto him, concealing his extra pair of arms.
As for his eyes, Sukuna usually squinted his extra pair of eyes shut, so unless someone looked closely, no one would notice he had four eyes.
It was just that the two little kids were far too eye-catching. Even Xia, who was only six years old, looked like a child of eleven or twelve due to her physical training and status as a Jujutsu Sorcerer, which still posed hidden risks.
However, children of that age were already considered little adults back then. The towns here weren't all that bustling—nowhere near the central hub where the Emperor of Japan resided—but the problems were much the same.
With a cold face, acting the part of an aristocratic young lady, Xia put on airs to perfection, and her Six Eyes played a tremendously powerful role.
Still, after sneaking around for a few days, she used her eyes to roughly learn the local language. Having previously been a lone netizen from the land of China, her Japanese only amounted to a bit of basic knowledge like the gojūon and greetings. In reality, apart from her own name, Xia didn't know much of the local language. But she had nothing to fear with her cheating artifact, the Six Eyes, along with her immensely powerful memory and innate talent in this lifetime—this was just a minor case.
The speechlessness in Sukuna's eyes practically condensed into substance, before he simply lay flat and accepted his fate. *Anyway, I'm still just a baby, so you can handle all of this.*
Sukuna finally let go of the burden hanging in his heart and settled into a life of eating, drinking, and sleeping.
In truth, once Sukuna confirmed Xia's sincerity and genuine feelings, he trusted her and surrendered his own heart as well.
Fully prepared, Xia easily registered their identities and various other documents in this not-so-prosperous yet sufficiently large town, including Sukuna's. By the way, she bought a luxurious mansion to live in, and handpicked exquisite items for all their other daily necessities.
Thus, they settled down.
Sukuna and Xia spent six warm years together.
For these six years, there were basically no troubles and no major dangers.
If a Cursed Spirit of too high a grade appeared, Xia would either have her own Shikigami deal with it, or step up herself if it truly proved unmanageable.
Once Sukuna's physical condition was no longer an issue, matters such as training his physical constitution and cursed energy powers were never neglected either.
By the way, she really did study the local writing, language, and the history of this era, memorizing it all. Xia even dabbled in being cultured on occasion, dipping her toes into the various things an aristocratic young lady was supposed to learn.
Sukuna, likewise, could not escape her clutches.
Anyway, while studying, Xia never forgot to torment Sukuna.
Sukuna was left speechless.
Sukuna was helpless.
Sukuna resignedly complied.
In truth, this period of time was their happiest.
Xia was no longer as lonely as she had been for the previous six years.
And Sukuna had likewise escaped everyone's disgust and fear, truly gaining what could be called a family.
Amidst this warmth, other minor matters didn't really matter at all, as far as Sukuna was concerned.
It was just that sometimes, Xia's mischievous and quirky personality left him utterly speechless and helpless, yet he accepted it all willingly.
No matter what, as long as it was Xia, that was enough! No matter what she was like, she was still her.
Xia styled herself as Sukuna's older sister and forcefully made him call her sister. Sukuna, who had initially opposed it, ultimately yielded to brute force and coercion, and later went around calling "Sister, Sister" endlessly—oh, how sweet his mouth was!
