Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

Like a wild beast devouring its prey.

The ghost struggled in agony. He was always the one who tore apart the tender throats of his prey with his teeth, but now he had become the prey.

Everything terrified the ghost to the extreme. It barely managed to endure the pain and stretched out its arms to resist, only to find that its arms were also being grabbed.

"Tear!"

Just as he had once torn apart the arms of his food, his arms were ripped open, blood splattered, and the pain made the ghost instinctively scream in agony, but his throat was bitten and crushed, so he could only make a 'hoarse' sound.

"Tear!"

Again, accompanied by extreme pain, both legs also experienced extreme pain.

At this moment, the ghost seemed to finally understand what the food felt like when he tore it apart.

But... but when I become food, it's really... really unacceptable!

After tearing off the demon's arms and legs and biting its throat, rendering it almost powerless to resist for a short time, Shinazugawa Genya stood up and looked at the demon before him.

Even with such severe injuries, the ghost in front of me is not dead yet, it is still alive, but the pain of its throat being bitten and its arms and legs being torn apart has distorted its face.

Seeing this, Shinazugawa Genya was momentarily stunned, but only for a moment before he picked up the Nichirin Blade and swung the blade.

The sharp blade flashed through the air, striking the demon's neck and ending its life.

As the ghost died, a foul stench began to fill the air, along with a sorrowful aura that ordinary people could not detect.

call.

call…

call………

He was breathing heavily, his vision was almost entirely blood red, and it seemed as if something was flowing in his eyes. He reached out and touched it; it was blood, the blood of a ghost. There was also a foul smell between his teeth. He spat it out; it was the bone from the ghost's throat.

He practically bit through the bones of the ghost's throat with his teeth; even the hardest bone was easily crushed by them.

Bow your head

As the demon's corpse gradually dissipated, Shinazugawa Genya felt a mixture of unease and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

"call……"

He gasped for breath again, but couldn't help touching his mouth, feeling the sharp, ghostly teeth that had suddenly appeared. In that instant, the thought even crossed his mind: 'Could I have already become a ghost?'

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Genya Shinazugawa was gripped by extreme panic.

However, before this emotion could spread, the sharp teeth he was touching were slowly shrinking, and at the same time, the powerful strength and abundant energy that had surged through his body were gradually disappearing.

A sudden emptiness, a feeling of powerlessness, welled up inside Shinazugawa Genya, causing him extreme unease and an almost irresistible urge to tear the demon's body apart again.

wind

I don't know when the wind came.

Clear footsteps came from behind.

A petite girl accompanied a tall man as they walked over.

"I...succeeded."

Almost immediately, I wanted to ask the adults for proof, but then I thought about how I must look, and how pathetic I must be.

Thinking of this, Shinazugawa Genya immediately turned his head away, his hand unconsciously touching his face. He could feel the blood on his face and could almost imagine how terrifying he looked at that moment.

Such a horrifying sight must disgust adults, right?

"very nice."

Su Mu walked up to him and exclaimed in admiration, "Even without using the 'breathing technique,' the moment you devoured the demon's flesh and blood, you possessed physical abilities comparable to a demon. However, since this is your first time using the 'Demon Eater' physique,' you don't seem to be very skilled yet. Moreover, it's quite dangerous. If you hadn't devoured the demon's flesh and blood immediately, you would have had almost no power to resist the demon..."

"But no matter what, Genya, you showed great courage in your first demon hunt, which is already very impressive."

Feeling the adult's hand on his shoulder and hearing the adult's praise, Shinazugawa Genya suddenly felt like crying, and tears almost uncontrollably streamed down his face.

"I will do better, sir."

With his head bowed, not wanting the adults to see his current vulnerable state, Shinazugawa Genya spoke with an extremely firm voice, his tone trembling with tears.

"In that case, I'm really looking forward to it."

Su Mu nodded and patted the boy on the shoulder: "Well then, it's time to go back and get some rest."

"Ah."

Genya Shinazugawa nodded vigorously, then followed the adult back to their residence.

Walking down the road, looking at the tall figure of the adult under the moonlight, Shinazugawa Genya clenched his fists. This tall figure, like an older brother, was something he would protect with his life no matter what.

Chapter 176 One can take on ten Kanao

When we returned to Sagiri Mountain, it was already very late. I thought everyone had gone to bed, but one light was still on.

He gently pushed the door open.

The candle burned, its flickering light illuminating the girl dozing in the chair. On the table beside her lay steaming tea, clearly just brewed by the mistress of the house, but she had fallen asleep before even drinking it.

The cold wind from the open door ruffled the long eyelashes of the girl who was dozing off, and also woke Nezuko up.

"Why are you still sitting here? You're all asleep."

Su Mu asked gently.

Nezuko blushed slightly, naturally not saying that she was waiting for her master because he hadn't returned.

Her mother had told her before that good wives usually do this.

Because if a husband comes home after a long day, the wife should be the first to greet him. This way, the husband will feel the warmth of home, and his fatigue will be relieved.

She was also learning, but she couldn't learn it well, and she started to doze off while waiting.

Nezuko was a little nervous when asked by her master, and was too embarrassed to say that she was sitting there waiting for him to come back.

So the girl lowered her head.

Under the flickering lamplight was a lovely, fair face, with a youthful gentleness and a slightly dizzying radiance.

"Go and get some rest."

Seeing that Nezuko did not answer, Su Mu looked away, said something in a low voice, and walked towards the kitchen.

"call……"

Nezuko breathed a sigh of relief after Su Mu left, but she was annoyed by her own timid behavior just now. Then, seeing her husband walking towards the kitchen, she naturally followed him in a hurry.

As soon as she stepped out the door, she saw a girl leaning against a pillar by the entrance. The girl held her sword to her chest with both hands. As Nezuko came out, her beautiful pinkish-purple eyes looked Nezuko up and down.

When Kanao looked at her, Nezuko instinctively felt timid and even took a step back.

But immediately, she mustered her courage and took another step, her equally beautiful and lovely eyes looking directly into those pinkish-purple eyes.

Unfortunately, those pinkish-purple eyes were already looking up at the sky, causing Nezuko's hard-won courage to vanish.

Slightly annoyed, he gritted his teeth, then saw smoke rising from the kitchen and quickly walked towards it.

Upon arriving at the kitchen, I soon saw my husband busy by the boiler.

“I’ll do it, sir.”

He stepped forward almost immediately.

Su Mu didn't insist and backed down, while Nezuko skillfully added firewood to the boiler, and the flames inside grew stronger and stronger.

Su Mu also picked up a ladle and started adding some water to the pot.

Nezuko was a little annoyed as she watched her husband add water to the pot. She should have prepared hot water as soon as he came back, so that he wouldn't have to work so hard to boil water for a bath.

While secretly annoyed, he added more firewood.

The fire was burning brightly, and soon steam was rising from the fire. Su Mu scooped the hot water into a large bucket, added some cold water, and when he felt the water temperature was about right, he carried the hot water outside.

Nezuko followed immediately, only to discover that the man was not carrying hot water back to his own room, but to a separate room not far away.

Even before she got close, she could smell a strong fishy odor.

"Don't go in."

Su Mu glanced at Nezuko who was following him and said something in a low voice.

"Ah."

Nezuko nodded and waited obediently at the door. After a short while, she saw her master come out empty-handed. Shinazugawa Genya, who lived in the room, also saw her master out.

Nezuko noticed Genya Shinazugawa's blood-stained clothes almost immediately and instinctively took a step back.

"gone."

Su Mu looked at Nezuko, who was in a daze, and said something.

Nezuko suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly followed her teacher. In her mind, however, the image of Shinazugawa Genya's clothes, which were almost stained with blood, involuntarily surfaced.

One can almost imagine what kind of scene they went through.

"Did you take Shinazugawa Genya with you to hunt demons, sir?"

Following behind, Nezuko asked almost in a low voice.

"Ah."

Su Mu nodded, went to the kitchen, poured the boiled water into a wooden bucket, added some cold water, and when the water temperature was about right, called Kanao to go to the special bathing bathroom.

Kanao carried the hot water into the bathroom.

Su Mu returned to his residence, found a few Kanae clothes that fit him, and then waited at the bathroom door.

Nezuko followed behind her master, and seeing his thoughtful actions, she felt a pang of sadness for no reason. In her mind, she thought of Kanao, who was almost like her master's shadow.

"Is Kanao also going demon hunting with you tonight, sir?"

Nezuko couldn't help but ask again.

Waiting outside the bathroom was a bit boring, and upon hearing Nezuko's words, Su Mu nodded in agreement.

"In the future, can I also be with you, Mr. Kanao, just like Kanao?"

The girl said something.
