“I see.”
Ye Xiao nodded, indicating his understanding.
If she had agreed directly, she wouldn't be Yukino Yukinoshita.
However, young lady, once you discover the truth of the world, you will quickly become deeply immersed in it.
At this moment, the battle was still ongoing.
The cat demon struggled to get up, its eyes filled with unwillingness.
As long as it defeated the woman in front of it, it could live.
It charged at Shizuka Hiratsuka again, but Shizuka Hiratsuka, after being enhanced, had the strength of a 'Bull' and the speed of a 'Phoenix', making these attacks nothing.
At this moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka's combat skills also came into play, and Shizuka Hiratsuka was known by the nickname “Iron Fist.”
As soon as the cat demon pounced, Shizuka Hiratsuka dodged to the side, cleverly avoiding it, then followed up with a swift straight punch that landed heavily on the cat demon's abdomen.
Another fist-sized bloody lump appeared.
The cat demon cried out in pain, its body arching into a bow shape, and Shizuka Hiratsuka pressed her advantage, landing punch after punch on the cat demon's body.
Then came a roundhouse kick.
The cat demon crashed heavily into a nearby tree trunk, and a large piece of bark was knocked off.
A hint of fear flashed in the cat demon's eyes, but the desire for survival made it force itself to stand up again.
“Damn it, damn it! This guy never intended for me to live!”
The cat demon finally understood.
Then it turned its head to look at the only ordinary person present, Yukino Yukinoshita.
Just as this thought arose, a clean cut appeared at the cat demon's feet.
“Don't think about doing things you shouldn't.” Ye Xiao said with a smile towards the cat demon.
The cat demon was so scared by Ye Xiao's move that it shivered. It looked at Ye Xiao, then at Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was still eyeing it menacingly. How could it not know now that it was being used as an experience package by others!
But it was truly unwilling to give up just like that, its eyes fiercely scanning back and forth between Ye Xiao and Shizuka Hiratsuka, trying to find a weakness.
Just then, the cat demon turned into a blur and ran, thinking, if it couldn't win, couldn't it at least escape?
“Hahaha, that's brilliant ~ It actually still thinks about escaping.” Ye Xiao said with a laugh.
Shizuka Hiratsuka kicked off the ground and instantly charged in the direction the cat demon was running.
Shizuka Hiratsuka, relying on her enhanced keen perception, accurately locked onto the cat demon's true body, performing a crow-sitting-airplane move, trampling on the cat demon's body.
A cracking sound was heard.
The cat demon was barely breathing, no longer able to resist.
“Done!”
Shizuka Hiratsuka clapped her hands, looking at the cat demon that was barely breathing, then dragged it back.
The blood that had spilled also formed a thick red line.
Ye Xiao watched as Shizuka Hiratsuka dragged the dying cat demon in front of him.
“My Lord, it's done.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the King's blessing dissipated, and Shizuka Hiratsuka's legs gave out, causing her to fall.
Ye Xiao quickly caught her.
Shizuka Hiratsuka felt a bit weak.
“What... what happened to me?”
“You're out of mana. Looks like you need to replenish it again, and I'll give you the King's blessing again.”
Ye Xiao replied.
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Shizuka Hiratsuka's face flushed, and her entire head buried itself in Ye Xiao's arms.
Ye Xiao smiled.
Then he looked at the half-dead cat demon.
He raised his hand and swung it down, and a bolt of lightning struck directly towards the cat demon.
After a while, the gray powder on the ground represented... a gentle breeze blew by, as if nothing was left.
The matter was perfectly resolved, and then he looked at Yukino Yukinoshita.
“Do you want me to erase your memories, Miss Yukinoshita?”
“No... no need.”
“Alright, good luck.”
With that, Ye Xiao took Shizuka Hiratsuka and transformed into a gentle breeze, returning to his home.
Yukino Yukinoshita was stunned to see the two disappear directly, but with the appearance of supernatural phenomena like demons, it was no longer surprising.
Time to go home.
...
Ye Xiao's home.
The original room had been expanded by Grayfia.
A large Western-style castle was now seamlessly connected to the small villa.
Rias, Sona, and Ye Xiao's dependents were sitting together, while Shizuka Hiratsuka's face was slightly red, as she had just replenished her mana and received the King's blessing.
Everyone gathered for a rare chat.
“Alright, since everyone is here, I'll say something first.”
At this moment, Ye Xiao spoke.
Everyone looked at Ye Xiao.
“Later, I want to take Kanae back to her world to deal with some matters. Rias, Sona, do either of you want to go?”
“Her world?”
Sona caught the blind spot.
“That's right, Kanae is from another world. Didn't I mention it?”
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, everyone looked at Ye Xiao with resentful eyes.
Well, being stared at like that, Ye Xiao also remembered that he really hadn't mentioned this matter.
“Cough, cough, alright, I didn't make myself clear.”
Ye Xiao said awkwardly, then continued, “Later, I will take my dependents to another world. Sona, Rias, are you coming?”
“I won't go.”
Sona looked at Ye Xiao and said.
“After all, I don't know how many days it will take to go, and the Student Council also has many things to do, so I won't participate in this trip to another world.”
Listening to Sona's words, Ye Xiao looked at Rias.
“I'm not going either.”
Rias took a sip of black tea and continued, “There are many commissions that haven't been completed these past few days, so it's not convenient for me to go this time either.”
“I see.”
Ye Xiao nodded in understanding.
Then Ye Xiao looked at Grayfia and Elsa, “Grayfia, Elsa, I'll trouble you with the house.”
Ye Xiao also had these two, currently the strongest combatants, guard the house.
As for why he didn't take them?
Damn it, is there anyone in the Demon Slayer world who needs these two to make a move?
No.
If they were taken, Grayfia's personality would make her want to finish early and return early.
“Understood, please rest assured, My Lord.”
“No problem.”
And so, Ye Xiao made these hasty arrangements.
This trip to Demon Slayer would include Miko, Xiao Hua, Jing Keai, Liliana, Erica, and the host, Kanae—six people in total.
They chatted for a while.
“Alright, we'll set off now.”
“Be careful on the way.”
“Stay safe.”
“......”
Under everyone's watchful eyes.
Ye Xiao took Kanae and the others and activated the teleportation.
With a flash of light, everyone disappeared from the room.
...
Demon Slayer world.
In a remote forest.
Ye Xiao and his group were teleported there.
“My King, this... is this another world?”
Liliana and Erica looked around curiously, feeling as if they had arrived in the early 20th century.
“That's right, this is another world, a world with man-eating demons.”
Ye Xiao also briefly explained the situation of this world to Erica and Miko and the others, and everyone understood everything after Ye Xiao's explanation.
“Master, let's drag Kibutsuji Muzan out and let him sunbathe!”
At the same time, inside the Infinite Castle.
Kibutsuji Muzan, who was conducting an experiment, suddenly sneezed and felt a chill down his spine.
