Chapter 526 As long as Miss Coral is willing to become my woman
Uchiha Mitsunaga shook his head, his eyes still looking at Sango with tenderness.
It was as if Maitreya's anger and provocation had nothing to do with him, and were just an insignificant farce.
"I don't want to display my power, nor do I want to fight with you. I just want to quietly stay by Coral's side, pursue her properly, and protect her. I don't want to disturb her with these pointless battles, nor do I want her to be frightened in the slightest. As for my power, as long as Coral is willing to become my woman, I will naturally use my power to protect her, safeguard her, avenge her, and eliminate all the monsters that harm her. I will do better than you, protect her from harm more effectively, and help her fulfill her wishes more effectively."
As he spoke, he walked slowly and gently to Coral, each step extremely light, as if afraid of disturbing her. He looked at her intently, his eyes filled with determination and sincerity, and a touch of deliberate seduction, trying to move her.
"Sango, I've heard your story, I know you have a deep-seated obsession. I know you hate Naraku, hate him for killing your entire clan, hate him for destroying everything you have, hate him for causing your family's ruin and separating you from your brother. If you're willing to become my woman, I promise you, I will help you defeat Naraku and completely eliminate that demon who killed your people, making him pay for his crimes in blood."
"I can even help you revive your brother Amber, reunite you and your sister, continue your family's bloodline, fulfill your lifelong wish, and free you from the pain of separation from your flesh and blood."
Upon hearing the names "Naraku" and "Kohaku," Coral's body stiffened abruptly, as if struck by lightning. Her whole body trembled slightly, her fingers shook uncontrollably, and the coldness in her eyes was instantly replaced by intense pain and obsession.
Her hands clenched tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, from which a drop of bright red blood seeped out. The blood slid down her fingers and dripped onto the fallen leaves on the ground, spreading a small dark red mark. Even the demon-slaying knife in her hand almost slipped out of her grasp, the blade trembling slightly.
Naraku, the demon who destroyed everything for her, the enemy she hated to the core, killed her parents, her clan, and everyone she cared about. He was her lifelong enemy, and she dreamed of tearing Naraku to pieces and scattering his bones to ashes to avenge her clan and her brother. Kohaku, on the other hand, was her only brother, her only family in the world, her hope for survival, and her lifelong obsession.
She longed to bring her brother back to life, to see him again, to hear him call her "sister" once more, and to hug him again. Countless times in the dead of night, she dreamed of her brother's appearance, of him running towards her with a smile. But when she woke up, all she felt was endless pain and despair, with only cold tears to keep her company.
Upon hearing the other person's words, Coral's eyes showed no expectation, but rather distrust.
She slowly raised her head, looking at Uchiha Mitsunori with cold disdain and a deep sense of despair in her eyes.
"Stop bragging and don't try to fool me. Naraku is incredibly powerful and ruthless. Even Inuyasha is no match for him. If all of us joined forces and gave it our all, we might not even be able to hurt him in the slightest. How could you possibly defeat him? Besides, the dead cannot be brought back to life. This is the natural order of things and an unchangeable fact. Kohaku is dead and can never be resurrected."
"Stop trying to deceive me with these empty promises. I won't believe you. I will never believe anyone's promises again."
Over the years, she has heard too many false promises and suffered too much hurt, and she no longer dares to easily trust anyone.
After saying that, Coral turned around and stopped looking at Sanfeng. Her eyes became cold and firm again as she forcibly suppressed the pain and despair in her heart.
She said calmly to Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippo, and Miroku, "Let's go. Don't waste time here. Naraku is still at large and hurting more people. We have many things to do. We can't let the nonsense of a stranger delay our journey and our chance to take revenge on Naraku."
As she spoke, she took the lead and walked towards the forest path, her back view cold and lonely.
The cat demon Yunmu followed quietly behind her, glancing back every now and then at Sanfeng warily before quickly turning back to follow Coral closely, as if afraid she might get hurt.
Uchiha Mitsunori looked at Sango's indifferent back, at the deep despair and disbelief in her eyes, at her forced feigned strength, and at the slightest hint of discouragement in her eyes.
He knew how deep Sango's obsession was, how strong her hatred for Naraku was, and how intense her desire to revive Kohaku was. As long as he could keep his promise, help her defeat Naraku, and help her revive Kohaku, Sango would eventually let down her guard, willingly belong to him, and believe every word he said.
Meanwhile, the monk Miroku stood with his hands on his hips, constantly complaining and cursing the Uchiha Three Peaks.
He knew that chasing after her now would only anger Coral, so he could only glare at Sanfeng fiercely before quickly following Coral's footsteps, occasionally turning back to give her a provocative look.
Inuyasha and Kagome exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion and bewilderment in each other's eyes, but neither asked any further questions.
They simply shook their heads and followed along with Qibao, but in their hearts they were all secretly observing the unfamiliar boy, curious about his identity and what he would say.
Uchiha Mitsunori followed behind the group, gazing tenderly at Sango's back, his eyes never leaving her, occasionally showering her with attention.
When they passed a stream, he would be the first to approach: "Coral, you must be tired. You've been traveling a long way and must be thirsty. Have some water and rest for a bit. Don't overexert yourself."
When passing by a wild fruit grove, he would quickly step forward, select the ripe, sweet wild fruits, carefully wipe the dust off the peels, and hand them to Coral, gently instructing, "Coral, this fruit is very sweet and not poisonous. Try it to replenish your energy. Be careful on the road, don't fall, the mountain path is not easy to walk on."
Along the way, he would occasionally bicker and tease Miroku, deliberately provoking him and saying things to annoy him, which made Shippo and Kagome laugh out loud.
What was originally a dull, tedious, and depressing journey became lively and vibrant because of their bickering.
Coral remained unmoved by Sanfeng's attentiveness, scoffed at his promises, and remained indifferent and aloof towards him. Only occasionally, when she heard the name "Amber," a fleeting, almost imperceptible emotion would flash in her eyes. That emotion was so fleeting that it was impossible to catch, as if it had never existed. Only she knew that a glimmer of hope was quietly sprouting in her heart.
These two days, both peaceful and lively, lasted for a full two days.
Over the past two days, they have been traveling towards the border, occasionally encountering some weak monsters that are no match for them.
Every time he encounters a monster, Miroku rushes forward immediately, opens his Wind Tunnel without hesitation, devours the monster, and then proudly shows off his power to Sango, looking like he's asking for credit, as if to say, "See, I'm stronger than you."
Uchiha Sanfeng did not display any of his power. He simply stood quietly to the side, arms crossed, watching Miroku use the Wind Tunnel to defeat the demon, watching his boastful appearance, and then made a few sarcastic remarks with a tone full of disdain.
He would still make promises to Sango from time to time, vowing to help her defeat Naraku and revive Kohaku.
Coral still didn't believe him, and wouldn't even give him a glance, remaining extremely indifferent to him.
On the afternoon of the third day, the originally clear sky suddenly turned gloomy. The weather changed abruptly, with howling winds whipping up fallen leaves and dust that blotted out the sun. Dark clouds, as black as ink, quickly gathered together, layer upon layer, blocking out all the sunlight.
The entire forest was plunged into darkness in an instant, as if night had fallen.
A dense and eerie demonic aura swept in like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire mountain forest.
Accompanied by a nauseatingly toxic odor, inhaling just one breath will make one feel cold all over and weak all over.
The trees in the forest were violently shaken by the gale, making creaking and groaning sounds, as if they would be snapped in half at any moment. Fallen leaves flew everywhere, and pebbles rolled down, creating a chaotic scene, like the end of the world, which was terrifying.
"Oh no, this demonic aura... it's so strong, so eerie, it's Naraku! It must be Naraku!"
Inuyasha's expression changed drastically, his amber eyes filled with seriousness and vigilance.
He instantly gripped the Tessaiga tightly, his demonic power surging wildly, ready to fight at any moment.
"Naraku actually came looking for us! He must have discovered our presence and wants to eliminate us all, to nip us in the bud!"
Kagome tensed up instantly. She quickly gripped her bow and arrow, her fingers tightly resting on a single arrow. Her eyes were focused and wary as she looked around, her brows furrowed and her lips trembling slightly.
"Naraku... he's really here. This demonic aura is even stronger and more eerie than when we last encountered him. His strength seems to have increased again. Can we... can we defeat him?"
Shippo trembled with fear, curling up into a ball and hiding behind Kagome. He clutched Kagome's clothes tightly, his head darting back, his eyes filled with terror: "Naraku's here...it's so scary...Kagome-neechan, Inuyasha-nii...I don't want to be killed by Naraku!"
