Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

This strange situation made Su Mu feel uneasy.

The situation looks very abnormal.

Just now, on his way back, he was considering how to handle the situation.

Deep down, he undoubtedly favored Kanao, but having just won Nezuko over, he also didn't want to hurt this gentle girl.

I'm really torn.

After carefully spending some time with Kanao and Nezuko, I finally felt a little relieved. Their harmony wasn't feigned; it seemed they had truly reached an agreement.

Su Mu wasn't quite sure how Nezuko and Kanao talked.

Actually, he was very curious.

At this point, he couldn't ask too many questions. However, being caught between the two, Su Mu was still quite uncomfortable. No matter what he did, he had to secretly pay attention to their expressions, afraid that he might do something wrong and make one of them think that he favored the other.

Thus, in extreme discomfort, Su Mu stayed with the two for a long time, until the sun set and the moon rose. Only then did Kanao return to her residence.

Su Mu and Nezuko returned to the room, and the young woman began to busy herself. First, she spread out the bed, and then she looked for clothes that she obviously needed to change into from the wardrobe. She tidied up almost everything in the room.

Su Mu sat there, watching the pretty figure busy in the room, and hesitated several times before speaking.

He actually wanted to ask Nezuko what she and Kanao had just talked about, but he didn't know how to bring it up.

At some point, Nezuko, who had only been out for a short while, came back in carrying a steaming wooden basin. The girl quickly wrung out a towel and handed it to her.

"Mu Jun, wash your face."

"I can do it myself."

Su Mu took the towel and silently wiped his cheeks.

While he was doing these things, Nezuko quickly brought in a basin of warm water and placed it in front of a chair.

Su Mu immediately sat down on the chair. Just as he was taking off his shoes to wash his feet, Nezuko bent down, grabbed his feet, and took off his shoes and socks. Then she squatted down, put them in the water, and gently wiped them for him.

Nezuko's gentle service made Su Mu feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Nezuko is just too virtuous.

Although he has only recently acquired Nezuko, he can already enjoy her gentleness. As long as he is at home, he hardly needs to do anything. He can simply act like a king. Nezuko will pour him water, cook his meals, and hand him a towel when he washes his face. Even when washing his feet, she will personally bend down and squat down to carefully clean them for him.

In almost every aspect, they were taken care of with utmost care.

This is a completely different feeling from when I was with Kanao. When I was with Kanao, he was basically the one taking care of her.

These past few days, I've had Nezuko. While her alluring body is certainly captivating and incredibly pleasurable, what's even more captivating is her tenderness and care.

"I'll do it myself."

Su Mu held Nezuko's small hand as she washed his feet and said in a low voice.

Nezuko didn't stop, continuing to rub his toes, leaving no corner untouched, while whispering, "With Nezuko here, how can we let Maki-kun do these things?"

The girl lowered her eyes: "If Nezuko is with Maki, and Maki still does everything by himself as before, then Maki being with Nezuko is no different from not having Nezuko at all."

Su Mu was speechless for a moment.

Or rather, I don't know how to put it.

"This is something Nezuko should do."

The girl gently rubbed his toes with her hands, whispering with a blush on her cheeks, "Nezuko is already... Maki-kun's."

Nezuko lowered her head as she spoke:

"It is my responsibility and my obligation to take good care of Mu Jun."

"Mu Jun should not feel uncomfortable or uneasy; this is a right that Mu Jun possesses."

Su Mu: "..."

Su Mu looked at Nezuko, who was diligently washing his feet, and listened to her words with a complicated expression.

Once Nezuko had washed and dried Nezuko's feet, Su Mu immediately got up and picked her up.

A charming blush instantly spread across the girl's face, because Mu Jun was already impatient, and her hands and feet went weak.

Nezuko wasn't opposed to it, but she still felt a little wronged, as it seemed that Maki only liked her body.

This certainly made Nezuko proud of her figure, but she also felt wronged, as it seemed that Maki only coveted her body and didn't really care about her otherwise.

However, the expected scenario of being carried to the bed and then being brutally abused by Mu Jun did not happen. Instead, Mu Jun carried her to a chair and sat her down. Then, Mu Jun squatted down and began to take off her shoes and socks.

"What is Mu Jun going to do?"

Nezuko instinctively tried to pull her little feet back, but Su Mu's large hands held them tightly, making it impossible for her to retract them.

"I'll wash Nezuko's feet too."

Su Mu removed Nezuko's little shoes and white socks, revealing her small, delicate feet, as smooth as lamb's.

"This...this won't do."

Nezuko was shocked. She had never heard of a man washing a woman's feet after marriage, at least not ever.

If others found out, they'd probably laugh at Mu Jun.

"Why not? Nezuko can wash for me, so naturally I can wash for Nezuko too."

Su Mu soaked the girl's soft little feet in the warm water of the wooden basin, looking at her fair and tender ankles with a certain fondness.

"That's not how it works; there's no such logic to it."

Nezuko shook her head.

"This didn't make sense before, but now it does."

Su Mu gently massaged the girl's ankles. There was no strange smell. Holding them felt like holding fine jade, which made him want to play with them carefully.

"impossible."

The girl spoke softly, her head slightly bowed, watching the tall man bend down and squat to wash her feet. Amidst her shyness and unease, she also felt a sense of joy, satisfaction, and happiness.

Warm steam rose up, blurring the girl's lowered eyes and brows.

Su Mu's movements were very gentle, as if he were afraid of hurting her. His fingers slipped through the warm water, grasped her small ankle, and gently rubbed and washed it. His fingertips had thin calluses, and the touch was rough yet warm, completely different from the feeling Nezuko usually had when she washed her feet herself.

Nezuko's toes curled slightly, like a frightened little animal.

"Did I hurt you?" Su Mu looked up at her.

"without……"

Nezuko shook her head, her voice as soft as the wind whispering in her ear.

She looked at Su Mu squatting in front of her. He was such a tall man, yet he was bending over and carefully washing her feet, as if he were doing something perfectly natural.

My eyes suddenly started to sting.

Nezuko bit her lip, suppressing the slight moisture.

In her memory, or rather, among all the couples she had ever met, she had never seen a husband treat his wife so gently. At least, her mother had never experienced anything like it.

She had actually been learning from her mother, striving to be a good wife after she got married.

Her mother also shared many of her experiences with her.

But Nezuko discovered that she couldn't learn many things.

This even includes things that happen in bed.

The way her mother taught her to serve was actually... very old-fashioned, completely different from what Mu Jun liked, and in fact, so embarrassing that she wanted to crawl into a hole.

Mu Jun would whisper in her ear, coaxing her to do those poses, those sounds, and those things she had never imagined.

Each time, she blushed, bit her lip, like a fawn being roasted over a fire, trembling with embarrassment, yet unable to bear refusing.

Because Mu Jun likes it.

The water gurgled softly as Su Mu lifted her feet out of the water and carefully dried them with a towel, even wiping the water droplets between her toes. His large hands enveloped her entire foot, and warmth spread from the soles of her feet all the way to her heart.

"Alright." Su Mu smiled, his tone tinged with satisfaction. "This is the first time I've ever washed someone's feet. Nezuko, you're in for a treat, you got my first time."

Nezuko blushed and didn't dare to look at Su Mu, because she suddenly thought of herself and felt hot all over.

Su Mu didn't say anything more, and carried the wooden basin outside to pour out the water.

Nezuko raised her eyes and looked at the man's back.

She recalled that when she was a child, although her father was very good to her mother, he would never do these things. Her mother was always busy running around, taking care of everything, while her father only needed to sit and wait for his meals.

She thought that was how a married couple should be.

So she followed her mother's example, trying her best to become a virtuous wife, taking on all the responsibilities herself, and striving to take meticulous care of Mu Jun.

She thought this was the best way.

But Su Mu took care of her instead, even washing her feet.

This made her feel both touched and apprehensive, both happy and uneasy.

……

After pouring out the foot bath water, Su Mu looked at Nezuko, who was bowing her head with her face flushed and seemed very well-behaved. He then moved a stool and sat down next to Nezuko, gently holding her little hand.

Before he washed Nezuko's feet, he could vaguely sense some of Nezuko's inner emotions. Su Mu was also aware of this, after all, saying that another girl was better in front of a girl was something that would be hard for any girl to accept.

At the very least, in the world he originally lived in, there would definitely be a big commotion, or even more intense conflict, so parting ways was just the most common thing.

But Nezuko didn't; she simply endured these emotions silently.

But suppressing emotions for too long is never a good thing. Now, seeing that Nezuko doesn't seem to care about these things, I feel a little relieved.

At this moment, he was somewhat curious about what Nezuko and Kanao had talked about earlier, which made their relationship seem to have improved.

He originally thought he would encounter a terrible situation like a battlefield, but the reality was completely different from what he had imagined.

"What did Nezuko and Kanao talk about just now?"

Su Mu held Nezuko's hand and asked in a low voice.

Nezuko hesitated for a moment, but then recounted her entire conversation with Kanao.

After listening, Su Mu was deeply shocked, and even looked at Nezuko with a rather complicated expression. At this moment, he was truly amazed to have met such a rare woman as Nezuko.

"What are you thinking about, Maki-kun?" Nezuko asked softly when she saw him lost in thought.
