Suddenly, a cloud of mist rose into the room, quickly spreading and enveloping the entire room, making it impossible to see the surroundings.
Just then, a figure stepped into the house through the thick fog. The figure was blurry and indistinct, but it exuded a mysterious and eerie aura.
"Playing tricks!" the samurai sneered, believing it was just a tactic the other party used to scare him.
He picked up his sword, and the instant he did so, the sword suddenly broke cleanly into two pieces!
This scene shocked him. He stared wide-eyed at the broken sword in his hand in disbelief.
"What!" the samurai exclaimed, looking up at the boy who had entered the room with trembling pupils.
The boy held up a finger and gently placed it to his lips. "Shh, don't make a sound. It's mealtime."
The boy's voice was deep and calm, as if carrying an unquestionable authority.
As he spoke, the door behind him suddenly slammed shut with a dull thud.
At this moment, the room seemed completely isolated from the outside world, becoming a closed space.
A few minutes later, Long Li finished his meal. He picked up a handkerchief to wipe the blood from his lips and was about to turn and leave when a weak murmur came from behind him.
"Help...help me..."
Longli stopped and turned to look at the woman hanging there.
He had already noticed the woman when he came in, but he simply ignored her.
The woman looked up at Long Li, her eyes pleading, "Please save me... I don't want to die..."
oh?
interesting.
Long Li's lips curled up. This woman must have seen him eating just now. A normal person would be terrified at the sight, but she was begging him instead.
Is this the human will to survive?
Compared to the countdown to death, those psychological fears often seem insignificant.
Unfortunately, this woman was too weak.
Ryu had absolutely no desire to turn her into a ghost.
Such humans, even if they become demons, will ultimately only become victims of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Ryuri has come to understand this very well during the years he has been a demon.
He turned to leave without looking at the woman again.
For women, one plum is enough.
"I...I know a place...there...there are many...people as twisted as this person..."
Longli suddenly stopped and couldn't help but stick out his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth.
Although Ryūri was reluctant to admit it, he did indeed suffer from severe pica.
Even though he's already a ghost, he should be able to eat people normally, but normal humans are hard for him to eat.
His severe pica often forces him to endure hunger. He is very picky about food and would rather endure hunger than find his favorite food.
If what this woman said is true, it means that there will likely be a sufficient supply of food in Longli for some time to come!
...
"This is a dress I just bought!" Mei frowned with heartache as she looked at her ripped dress. "It's such a pity..." She gently stroked the hem of the dress, her face full of regret.
"Alright," Gyutaro comforted him, "Don't be sad. Let's clean up here first, since Lord Ryūri will be back soon." With that, he began to tidy up the scene.
Mei slowly straightened up and stretched comfortably.
The colorful sash around her waist was lightly tied, perfectly showcasing her slender yet voluptuous figure. Her legs were long and straight, each step carrying an elegant rhythm, her toes round and translucent, radiating a pure white glow.
She gently lifted her jade-like foot and stepped on the corpse of the Demon Slayer Corps member, a look of disgust on her face: "These two are really ugly."
Gyutaro smiled and said, "We can't leave them here, or it'll be troublesome if someone finds out."
Seeing this, Mei quickly waved the ribbon in her hand, engulfing the corpses of the two Demon Slayer Corps members.
Her blood demon magic can store them inside the ribbon. That way, her brother can take them out whenever he wants to eat.
"Lord Ryuri has arrived."
"Gyutaro suddenly said, and then he and Mei turned around at the same time."
Long Li pushed open the door and came out, a faint smile on his lips: "Let's go, it's all settled. From now on, this place belongs to us."
"Your actions were so swift, sir?" Mei looked at Long Li with some shock.
Suddenly, she noticed a woman following behind Long Li, and her heart skipped a beat. Her nose twitched; she immediately sensed the aura emanating from the woman—it was a ghost!
She frowned, her gaze fixed on the ghost's face as she scrutinized it. She had to admit, this ghost possessed a beautiful face; while not as striking as hers, it was certainly top-tier. Before becoming a ghost, this woman must have been a great beauty!
Suddenly, Mei felt a strong sense of crisis and looked at the woman with wariness and vigilance.
"Hello, I am Lord Ryūri's new subordinate. My name is Chunyu. Please take care of me from now on." Chunyu was the oni that Ryūri had just taken in. She smiled slightly at Gyutaro and Ume and greeted them politely.
"Oh, hello there!" Gyutaro scratched his head and smiled, revealing a simple and honest expression.
Mei glanced at her brother in shock, and couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Are you an idiot, brother? You actually greeted this woman!"
"plum."
"I am here, Lord Ryuri!"
Hearing Long Li calling her, Mei immediately put aside all her worries and stood obediently at attention.
"From today onwards, this area will be under the jurisdiction of the Spring Outing."
"Yes, Lord Longli."
Mei withdrew her gaze, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at the spring outing.
Why should I?!
Why is this newcomer being given such an important task by Lord Ryūri right from the start?
Even though she has been following Lord Ryuri for so long, she hasn't changed at all!
That despicable woman!
She must have used some unknown method to bewitch Lord Longli!
It's unbearable to repair!
Along with that, she also felt a surge of resentment towards Gyutaro, who had spoken to her earlier on the spring outing.
Brother, whose side are you on?
Wouldn't our standing in Lord Longli's eyes be lowered if an outsider came?
"There's another task for you."
"Yes, please give me your orders, Lord Longli!" Mei's face turned serious.
"The spring outing will take you to a place where you will capture all the humans there." Long Li's expression was calm, but his eyes were filled with a savage, bloodthirsty light that sent chills down one's spine.
"Understood, Lord Ryuri."
"Please follow me."
During the spring outing, she bowed to Gyutaro and Mei Weiwei.
Mei gritted her little silver teeth and followed behind the spring outing, clearly unconvinced.
