Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

Nezuko nodded: "I was afraid it would be too mushy, so I turned off the heat. I don't know if it will suit your taste."

"It smells nice."

Su Mu chuckled.

Once she felt it was about time, Nezuko picked up a small bowl, filled it with water, and said, "I'll take it inside so we can eat there."

"No need, we can just eat in the kitchen."

Su Mu found a small stool, took the bowl and chopsticks Nezuko handed him, and then sat there to eat. After finishing his wine, he drank some porridge and felt a warm feeling in his stomach, which was quite comfortable.

While Su Mu was drinking his porridge, Nezuko sat to the side, watching the man seem to really enjoy it, and a beautiful smile unconsciously curved her lips.

Su Mu took another bite, looked up, and saw Nezuko staring at him.

The woman's eyes held a gentle quality, almost identical to her mother, Kamado Hime, only slightly more youthful.

As soon as Nezuko met the man's gaze, she immediately lowered her head shyly, a slight blush appearing on her delicate face.

"It seems Nezuko is no longer afraid of me. I remember she used to be very afraid of me."

Su Mu took another sip of porridge, his tone slightly sarcastic.

"Where can I find it?"

The girl ran her hand through her hair, employing a common girlish trick of being cheeky, and refused to admit that such a thing had happened.

Even so, the girl couldn't help but recall the first time Su Mu barged into her home. He looked truly terrifying then, and even now, thinking back, she still found his frightening appearance quite horrifying.

At that time, I really didn't dare to get close to him.

But now, I don't feel too much fear towards Mr. He. The longer I stay, the more I feel that Mr. He is actually very gentle. Although he is a ghost, once you accept it, you feel that it's not a big deal.

Nezuko couldn't help but look up at the man. At that moment, the man was drinking porridge, and she could only see most of his profile. The flickering light in the kitchen illuminated his very attractive face. Thinking about marrying the demon in front of her in the future, her heart pounded.

Right now, the other person seems to be doing very well, but I don't know if things will change in the future.

I'm also a little worried about whether I can manage everything at home if I marry him. Although I'm trying to learn from my mother, I feel there's still so much to learn, and I don't know if I can manage the household as well as my mother.

After taking another sip of porridge, Su Mu saw Nezuko resting her rosy cheeks on her hands, staring blankly at him, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."

"No...it's nothing."

Nezuko blushed slightly and shook her head. Seeing the man looking at her, she lowered her head and asked softly, "How does the red bean porridge taste compared to before?"

"It tastes much better, especially after drinking alcohol, having a bowl of porridge makes my stomach feel warm."

Really?

The girl immediately looked delighted, her eyebrows practically dancing with joy.

"So happy?"

Su Mu couldn't help but tease him.

Yes...yes.

Nezuko reached out and awkwardly smoothed a strand of hair from her forehead: "It's normal to be happy when people praise and compliment the food you've made."

"That's true. If people like the food I make, I'll feel very satisfied."

Su Mu nodded, then continued, "How's your 'breathing' technique going these past few days while your brother and I were gone?"

“I already know it. Not only do I know ‘Sun Breathing’, but I also learned ‘Water Breathing’ from Urokodaki-senpai.”

Nezuko kept her head down, but as she spoke, she couldn't help but secretly raise her head again, a hint of pride showing between her brows and eyes, as if to tell him, "I'm amazing, right? Come and praise me!"

Upon hearing this, Su Mu couldn't help but marvel, because his intervention had altered the original trajectory of the Kamado family, saving them from being wiped out by Muzan Kibutsuji. As for what would happen to the Kamado family in the future, that remained to be seen.

But at least for now, the Kamado family is living a relatively peaceful life. No family members have died tragically, and Nezuko has not become a demon who has to constantly suppress her desire to eat people.

Have you learned both 'Sun Breathing' and 'Water Breathing'?

Su Mu couldn't help but admire him. You see, the 'Breathing of the Sun' was not only taught to Nezuko, but also to Nezuko's younger brother, Takeo Kamado. But even now, Takeo Kamado still can't master the 'Breathing of the Sun'.

The 'Breathing of the Sun' technique is not only difficult to learn, but also requires a high level of physical fitness, which is difficult for young Takeo Kamado to meet.

Nezuko not only mastered the 'Sun Breathing' so quickly, but she also learned the 'Water Breathing' from Urokodaki-senpai. This was somewhat unexpected, considering that Tanjiro had only mastered the 'Sun Breathing' so far.

"Try 'breathing' and see."

Su Mu couldn't help but ask.

"it is good."

Nezuko nodded, then stood still and took a deep breath. A large amount of fresh air was inhaled through her nose, and the girl's fair face quickly turned red.

Su Mu put down his chopsticks and stood aside to observe carefully. Even when the girl was inhaling a lot of oxygen, her breathing rhythm remained very steady, even smooth.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Tanjiro's breathing rhythm. Compared to Tanjiro, Nezuko's breathing was obviously smoother, which meant she had a better grasp of breathing than Tanjiro.

"What about 'water breathing'?"

He asked in a low voice, intending to tell Nezuko to rest for a while before trying again, but almost as soon as he finished speaking, the girl's 'breathing' changed again. Her exhalations quickly changed from intense and agitated to calm and gentle, with a hint of lingering warmth.

Su Mu watched from the side and couldn't help but marvel.

He had never learned 'Water Breathing', but he knew that 'Sun Breathing' and 'Water Breathing' were almost completely opposite. However, the girl switched over very naturally without pausing.

This is not something that can be achieved easily.

It should be noted that ordinary swordsmen can only practice one type of 'breathing'.

Once you maintain one breathing rhythm, it's practically impossible to switch to another, even with a "pillar" (a specific breathing technique).

This made Su Mu think of some people's comments about Nezuko and Tanjiro in his previous life, saying that Tanjiro was a born demon king and Nezuko was a born swordsman. But fate made them different. One became a swordsman and the other became a demon, each going down a path they were not good at.

Watching the girl's long, beautiful eyelashes flutter with her breath, Su Mu smiled and said, "Stop it."

"call……"

The girl let out a soft sigh, her breathing gradually becoming steady, with only her developing chest still rising and falling rapidly. Her bright eyes looked at him, full of anticipation for recognition and praise.

Chapter 158 says it's alright, sir.

"Very impressive."

Looking at the girl, Su Mu couldn't help but praise her earnestly. In such a short time, she not only learned the 'Breathing of the Sun', but also learned the 'Breathing of Water' from Senior Urokodaki. She was indeed worthy of praise.

"It's not that amazing, just average."

Nezuko reached out and smoothed the hair on her forehead, uttering light, airy words, but her little head unconsciously tilted back, and a smug air seemed to emanate from her entire body.

Combined with her beautiful, slightly trembling eyelashes and naturally cute face, she's absolutely adorable.

What they show in real life is ten times, even a hundred times, cuter than what they portray on screen.

If Nezuko were to bite a bamboo joint with her mouth, it's almost unimaginable how captivating that would be.

Even so, Su Mu still felt slightly dazed.

Almost as if possessed, he reached out and gently pinched the girl's cheek.

Like the finest jade, with an excellent texture, I couldn't resist pinching it a few more times, almost kneading this adorable face until it was round.

Nezuko clearly hadn't expected such an intimate gesture. Her beautiful eyes widened immediately, and her fair face flushed with a rosy blush.

Su Mu also realized that he might have acted impulsively, so he immediately withdrew his hand and smiled sheepishly: "Haha, Nezuko is just too cute, I couldn't resist."

"It's...it's okay."

Nezuko turned her head away, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible unless you listened very carefully.

"However, I am still very sorry."

Su Mu still said something. No matter what, touching a girl's face is an extremely rash and rude act.

"Yes...yes, sir...it's alright."

Nezuko clutched the hem of her clothes, her head slightly lowered, obscuring her face. However, her rounded earlobes, now a vibrant pink, were visible peeking out from her hair.

The girl's entire appearance suggested she was easy to bully, which really made one want to take advantage of her.

Shaking his head to clear the inexplicable thoughts from his mind, Su Mu stood up.

Nezuko was startled by his action. The image of Su Mu touching her face flashed through her mind; he had just pinched her cheek, and now that he was standing up…

Almost instantly, the scene that would soon unfold in my mind flashed before my eyes: my clothes being roughly torn open, tears welling in my eyes, and then my skin being...

My heart suddenly started pounding violently. I... I don't want this to happen. I'm not... I'm not ready yet.

"Sir..."

"No...no, no...this can't be done."

The girl's sudden voice startled Su Mu, who had just stood up: "Nezuko, what's wrong?"

Nezuko cautiously looked up at the man's tall figure. Her small body seemed to be instantly enveloped by his shadow, and the powerful pressure made Nezuko's breathing quicken. "Sir... what... what are you going to do?"

"I'd like some more red bean porridge!"

He said something.

"Ah! It's red bean porridge, no..."

"Not what?"

Su Mu looked at Nezuko with some confusion.

"No...it's nothing."

Nezuko quickly said, then hurriedly snatched the small bowl from his hand: "I... I'll serve it to you, sir."

After saying that, the girl immediately took the small bowl to the small pot and began to ladle red bean porridge into the bowl, her whole demeanor revealing a flustered and helpless state.

Su Mu stood there, watching the girl's flustered actions. In the flickering lamplight, he could also see the pink blush on her ears.

He hadn't quite figured out why Nezuko was acting so strangely, but now, looking at the girl's expression, Su Mu figured that Nezuko probably thought he was going to do something to her in a fit of lust.

This left Su Mu speechless for a moment. No matter what he did, he shouldn't have done anything to Nezuko right now!

In his eyes, Nezuko is now just like a little girl.

Although, in this place, many people of Nezuko's age are probably already preparing for marriage.

But he's not that bad.
