"Heh, if you want to know if it's a dream, why don't you try it and find out?" Before he finished speaking, Xia Yan placed his hand on Mi Li's forehead, a wicked smile on his face.
Under her questioning gaze, a sharp flick landed on her forehead.
Snapped--
"it hurts--!"
"If it hurts, it means you're not dreaming. We were planning to part ways, but since you're still injured and were poisoned before, let's go back to the Butterfly Mansion together for a check-up."
Kanroji Mitsuri covered her reddened forehead with both hands, looking at Xia Yan's back with slight dissatisfaction, her face puffed up like a round meat bun.
"We're already half a day later than expected to get home. Don't just stand there, hurry up and catch up!"
"Seriously, Xia Yanjun, you idiot!"
After muttering a couple of complaints, Kanroji Mitsuri stomped her foot but still followed, like a wronged little wife.
Meanwhile, in the study of a detached villa in Asakusa Ward, Kyoto.
thump—
The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground rang out one after another, and the once tidy study was turned into a mess almost instantly.
"Narugami Natsuhiko——!!!"
Through Hantengu's dying gaze, watching Natsuhiko and Kanroji Mitsuri's departing figures, Muzan angrily roared Natsuhiko's name.
He had been collecting Upper Moon demons for hundreds of years, starting from the Warring States period, and had been successful in everything except finding the Blue Spider Lily and destroying the Ubuyashiki clan.
Now, almost all of them have been wiped out by Xia Yan alone, leaving only Upper Moon One and Nakime, who was originally just a maid but has now been forced to become Upper Moon Two.
All five Upper Moon demons have an unavoidable connection with Natsuhiko!
Aside from Yoriichi Tsugikuni, this was the first time Muzan had ever hated a human so much! He wished he could jump over and tear him to pieces on the spot, and then devour his flesh raw!
This was only the second time in his life that Kibutsuji Muzan had suffered such a great injustice.
He's been utterly bullied; how could he possibly tolerate it?!
the answer is--
—Able to endure.
"Hmph, in the end, it's just that these idiots are too useless!"
Thinking of the scars that hadn't healed even after four hundred years, still burning his flesh, Muzan Kibutsuji simply engraved Natsuhiko's name in his heart and swallowed his anger.
Chapter 423 People's physical constitutions cannot be generalized.
People's physical constitutions cannot be generalized.
Some people, when extremely angry, can only sulk for a day, while others can kill a Class I protected animal with a single sliding tackle.
Muzan clearly belongs to the latter category.
Although he was still unwilling to reveal his true identity and personally seek revenge on Xia Yan, he was able to vent his anger by killing all of his newly formed family members.
With the New Year approaching, police officers in Kyoto's Asakusa Ward are working overtime, busy investigating a dismemberment murder case in a villa area.
Meanwhile, Xia Yan's entire family gathered in the basement to watch the two female ghosts give birth.
It cannot be denied that there is an insurmountable gap between ghosts and humans in terms of physical constitution.
Even in today's technologically advanced world, childbirth still carries considerable risks for humans, and we can only minimize these risks through various methods.
But for a ghost, it's probably just a matter of taking a big dump...
Although they were just watching, the whole process took less than five minutes.
The general process was that Tamayo and Kanae walked hand in hand into the delivery room and closed the door. Less than a minute later, the sound of a baby crying came from the delivery room.
Then the two people, their faces flushed, seemed to have nothing to do with it, holding two swaddled babies.
They went in the same way they came out.
If it weren't for her flat stomach and the baby in her arms, no one could imagine what these two had done in such a short time.
I estimate that most of those five minutes were spent bathing and swaddling the newborn…
Aoi, who was also heavily pregnant and due to give birth next month, looked at him with a complicated expression and seriously considered whether she should also become a demon.
The reason for choosing to give birth in the basement was not for secrecy or insurance, but mainly to conduct a comprehensive medical examination on the two new lives as soon as possible.
After all, this is unprecedented—a hybrid of human and ghost!
"How's it going? Is there any result?"
"The situation is a bit complicated, and we may not be able to reach a conclusion until tomorrow. Until then, let's continue to take care of things using the 'ghost' method..."
"However, it can be confirmed that, in addition to human blood, breast milk is also within the edible range."
Looking at the two babies who were sleeping peacefully without crying or fussing, Kanae's gentle smile became even more loving, as if she were a portrait of the Virgin Mary in a church, and the whole ghost radiated a maternal glow.
However, Tamayo's changes were even more pronounced.
If she used to exude a melancholy and sorrow like that of lilacs, now that she has a child, she seems to have come back to life.
This freshness was something Xia Yan had never seen on her face, even after a whole night of nourishment.
Perhaps only today has she finally emerged from her self-pity.
Looking at the two adorable little chubby balls, Xia Yan felt as if he had gained something that couldn't be expressed in words.
Although they were newborns, perhaps due to their non-human lineage, the two cubs were not wrinkled and limp.
On the contrary, it looked like several months had passed; her skin was smooth and fair, and her limbs were very strong.
It is worth mentioning that both babies had a pair of small, jade-like demon horns on their heads.
This is why, even though the final test results were not yet available, Tamayo and Kanae both agreed to care for the child according to the method that was closer to the "demon" side.
"The results won't be available until tomorrow... I understand. I'll stay and get tested with you all; that should get the results sooner, until then..."
Xia Yan shifted his gaze to the white-haired female ghost who stood out most among the group of people.
"Yamei, you take care of the two of them."
"Huh!? I'll do it!?"
The spider mother, whose name was called, pointed at herself with a surprised expression, as if Xia Yan was about to send her to fight Su Nuo.
After several months of deep integration, the little pet that Xia Yan had captured successfully integrated into the family and was granted the right to revert to its original form.
However, after receiving permission, she actually preferred this mimicked form and almost abandoned her loli form.
The reason is simple: this way, you can eat more.
"Well, it's more convenient for you to handle it. Do you have any questions?"
"But...but I don't know how to take care of a baby!"
"Just ask Kui Zhi."
"What if they both wake up and want to eat?"
"..."
Xia Yan didn't speak, but just stared at her firm, enormous breasts in silence.
"Wait...wait a minute, I don't...I don't have any breast milk!"
"It's possible, isn't it?" Xia Yan tilted his head, his tone revealing a sense of entitlement.
It wasn't Xia Yan's sudden idea to have her take care of the children; after all, Tamayo and Kanae needed to stay in the basement to conduct analysis so that they could get results as quickly as possible.
Moreover, before we are certain about the condition of these two children, it would be safer for the ghost to take care of them.
The only ghosts still idle in the house are Ami, who is a pet, and Rei, who is a maid.
Although both are children's level, Yamei is clearly more reliable.
"Waaah... I don't know..." Following Aoi's instructions, Spider Mother Ami carefully picked up the two children and left the basement with the others.
Xia Yan, along with Tamayo and Kanae, also devoted themselves to the research and analysis.
……
"Incredible..."
"It actually succeeded..."
Looking at the analysis report in their hands, Tamayo and Kanae exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a deep shock that then transformed into pure joy.
There is no other reason,
After a night of analysis, they concluded that the two children, born from a human and a ghost, had successfully overcome the sunlight!
Although exposure to sunlight weakens them, significantly reducing both their strength and regeneration rate, making them almost indistinguishable from ordinary humans.
But without a doubt, they overcame the sunlight through their own strength without any external influence!
Furthermore, it is a crucial complement to previous drug trials!
This means they are only one step away from developing a real potion that can help ghosts overcome sunlight!
"Hehe, it seems the plan to eliminate Muzan can begin..." Thinking that his scheme, which he had been planning for several years, was finally about to come to fruition, Xia Yan smiled brightly.
"Before that, let's go see our baby first..."
Chapter 424 The Approaching Final Battle
March,
The snow had not yet melted, and the forest showed no signs of green, but the wisteria in the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters courtyard was still blooming quite profusely.
Meanwhile, in the tea room at headquarters, the Pillar-level swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps gathered once again.
"The date of the Pillar Meeting is still a long way off, but I can't believe it's been held ahead of schedule again!"
"I envy you all, still able to go out hunting ghosts in style, while I stay in the courtyard all day doing nothing, like a parasite, not stylish at all."
Former Sound Pillar, now the Demon Slayer Corps Master's bodyguard, Uzui Tengen, leaned against the wall with his hands behind his head and said with a self-deprecating smile.
"Amitabha," Himejima Gyomei, kneeling beside Uzui Tengen, clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddhist mantra. "The safety of our lord is also the top priority for the Demon Slayer Corps. With you here, we can feel much more at ease."
