"There's a brothel called Pianwu to the east of Youguo. It's the biggest brothel in the east. Let's go there first!"
Besides being the largest brothel in the east, the side room was also where Mei worked before she became a ghost, which was partly due to her own selfish motives.
Ryūri and Gyutaro naturally had no objections.
But just as they were about to reach the side house, Longli suddenly stopped.
Mei and Gyutaro noticed his unusual behavior immediately and stopped to ask, "What's wrong, sir?"
Longli closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his face showed a morbid madness: "I smell evil!"
Mei and Gyutaro exchanged a glance. This wasn't the first time they'd encountered this situation. Usually, it meant that someone had appeared who could whet Ryuri-sama's appetite!
Gyutaro laughed as he held up his body, scratching himself until it was covered in blood: "Looks like we have something more important to do."
Compared to going to the side room, solving Lord Ryuri's appetite problem is a much more important matter right now.
"Need not."
Long Li's eyes were bloodshot at this moment, a sign that he was about to go mad, but a part of his rationality was still preserved in this madness.
"The flavor comes directly from what's right in front of us!"
Mei Le was delighted; it seems she really chose the right place to come to the side room this time.
It was late at night, and even the brothel was quiet by now. The customers had been working hard for several hours and were now asleep.
But some noises could still be heard coming from some of the rooms!
"Smack!"
"ah!"
"Smack!"
"Please, please don't do this..."
A sharp sound was mixed with screams.
A woman was hanging in the house, her body covered in bloody wounds.
A warrior stood before the woman, holding a whip in his hand. With each swing of the whip, the woman would scream and a new wound would appear on her body, while the man's face would become even more excited.
"Haha, I paid to invite you so you could make me happy, you know that!"
"You like money, don't you? I've got plenty of money!"
As the man spoke, he lashed the woman with the whip again.
The woman's breathing grew weaker and weaker, but the man was still somewhat unsatisfied.
The man sat on the ground, took a sip of his drink, and casually grabbed a handful of banknotes, tossing them to the woman.
...
Longli raised his head, a bewitching glint flashing in his scarlet pupils: "This is it."
"Lord Ryuri, we are waiting for you here."
Mei stood honestly downstairs, waiting for Long Li while also preventing anyone from disturbing Lord Long Li.
Sure enough, there were some blind fools tonight.
"I actually encountered a ghost here!"
Two Demon Slayer Corps members who were passing by suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ume and Gyutaro in the brothel.
Ke Longli seemed not to see them at all, calmly stepping up the stairs and heading towards the source of the smell.
"Stop, you demon!"
Upon seeing this, a member of the Demon Slayer Corps drew his sword and prepared to charge towards Ryuri.
A ribbon came flying and fell toward his head.
Whoosh!
The Nichirin Blade slashed at the ribbon, but the ribbon displayed extraordinary resilience, and the Nichirin Blade was unable to cut it.
Mei licked the back of her hand and sneered, "You won't be able to disturb Lord Longli."
"That ghost wants to eat people! Go stop it! I'll deal with this one!"
The Demon Slayer Corps member who was stopped by Mei quickly turned around and shouted to his companions behind him.
"good!"
Seeing this, the man tried to bypass Mei to intercept Longli.
But the next moment, a blood-red scythe suddenly appeared out of thin air, and a figure suddenly emerged from the shadow behind Mei, the scythe aimed straight for the man's head.
"bite!"
With a crisp sound, sparks flew as the scythe was stopped by the Nichirin Blade.
"There's one more?"
The Demon Slayer Corps member who was stopped by Mei had his pupils contract.
As he held his own body, Gyutaro emerged from the shadows behind Mei: "I don't really want to show myself this early, but if you disturb Lord Ryūri's meal, I'll have no choice but to atone with my death."
"Damn it, even if we can't stop it, we have to let the people here know there's danger!"
The Demon Slayer Corps member gritted his teeth. He knew that only two of them could hold off the three demons, but if they could warn the people here in time, they might be able to buy some time for everyone to escape this crisis.
Thinking of this, he opened his mouth without hesitation, ready to shout loudly.
However, at that moment, Long Li stepped onto the stairs, and at the same time, his deep and majestic voice rang out: "Expand your domain, unleash the Blood Domain!"
As soon as the words were spoken, an invisible curtain of blood enveloped everyone like a tidal wave. This curtain of blood was like an indestructible barrier, completely isolating the outside world from the inside.
"Run, everyone! Fire! Danger!" Mei and Gyutaro were already used to Ryu's Blood Demon Art. At this moment, they looked at the Demon Slayer Corps member with a mocking expression, their eyes gleaming with cunning.
The man was shouting at the top of his lungs, repeating the warning over and over again, but no matter how hard he tried, there was no response whatsoever.
His voice seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall, unable to travel at all.
No, something's not right!
If there were anyone there, it's impossible that no one would have noticed him shouting so many times!
At that moment, the man looked up and saw two ghosts with identical faces in front of him.
"Within Lord Ryuri's Blood Demon Art, sound cannot travel, you idiot!" Mei made no attempt to hide her mockery.
"Then let's deal with you first!"
The other Demon Slayer Corps member was clearly the quiet type; he just grabbed his sword and charged straight in!
...
Creak!
The door slowly opened.
The samurai frowned: "What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to bother me? Damn it, didn't I pay you enough?!"
"hehe."
The temperature in the room suddenly became extremely cold at that moment. Despite wearing many clothes, the samurai couldn't help but shiver.
