Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

Su Mu snapped out of his reverie, lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "I was thinking, I'm probably really lucky to have Nezuko."

Nezuko blushed again, but this time, she didn't dodge. Instead, she stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Su Mu on the cheek in return.

Moonlight streamed in through the cracks in the window, casting long, overlapping shadows of the two people.

After a long while, Nezuko let out a small yawn.

Su Mu noticed her drowsiness, bent down and picked her up.

This time, Nezuko wasn't nervous or shy. Instead, she obediently wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her face on his shoulder.

"Tired?"

"Hmm... a little bit."

As she spoke, Nezuko looked up at Su Mu with a blush on her face, her beautiful eyes glistening with moisture.

"I'm thinking about a question."

"what?"

Nezuko asked in a low voice.

"I'm wondering if it's possible for a human and a ghost to have bloodlines together."

Nezuko's face turned red instantly, and her little hands almost twisted together.

At this moment, Su Mu brought his face close to Nezuko's and said, "Why don't we give it a try?"

"Who wants to be with you..."

Nezuko whispered and grabbed his hands, which were wandering around.

"From now on, you'll always listen to me, right?"

Su Mu said in a low voice.

Nezuko didn't speak, she was a little out of breath, and tried to stand up, but her body staggered and she couldn't even stand up straight.

Su Mu immediately reached out and helped Nezuko to the table.

Nezuko's steps were unsteady; she truly had no strength left. She could only grip the edge of the table tightly with both hands, her fair hands clenched, her delicate skin revealing faint blue veins.

"Nezuko should work out."

Su Mu lay down behind Nezuko and patted her twice forcefully.

The candle was extinguished at some point.

The table was shaking.

All that remained was a monotonous, mechanical sound.

In the darkness after the candle went out, the room fell silent.

Nezuko lay on the edge of the table, her cheek pressed against the cold surface, her chest heaving violently, like a fish washed ashore by the waves, panting heavily.

Her fingers were still gripping the edge of the table tightly, her knuckles white. After a while, she slowly loosened her grip, and her entire arm hung limply down, without any strength.

Su Mu gently embraced her from behind, feeling the girl's body still trembling slightly, like a flower petal in the wind.

"Are you alright?" he asked softly, his voice sounding especially gentle in the darkness.

Nezuko didn't answer, or rather, she didn't even have the strength to speak.

Su Mu smiled, bent down, and picked her up horizontally.

This time, Nezuko didn't even have the strength to hug his neck. She just leaned softly against him, her head resting on his shoulder, like a kitten that had been squeezed.

Su Mu carried her to the bed that had already been made and gently laid her down.

As soon as Nezuko touched the soft mattress, she sank into it, her eyes half-open, her eyelashes fluttering gently, her lips slightly parted, and she was still breathing softly.

Su Mu lay down beside her and reached out to pull her into his arms.

Nezuko's body still carried the warmth from before, her skin pressed against his, like a piece of warm jade thoroughly warmed by the sun.

“Maki-kun…” Nezuko finally spoke, her voice husky, with a lazy, satisfied tone at the end.

"Ok?"

Nezuko...I'm so tired...

Su Mu's fingers ran through her loose hair, gently combing it, his fingertips slowly caressing her scalp, as if soothing a tired little animal.

"Then you should exercise more in the future." He said with a smile, "Your health is really poor."

Nezuko gently shook her head in his arms, her voice muffled: "You're a demon, and I'm not. How can a human compare to a demon..."

She was so embarrassed that she couldn't continue, so she buried her face in Su Mu's chest and curled up into a ball.

Su Mu was amused by her appearance, his chest vibrated slightly, and his laughter reached Nezuko's ears, making her feel both at ease and shy.

In the darkness, the two embraced quietly, neither of them speaking.

Nezuko's breathing gradually calmed down, and the trembling in her body slowly disappeared, replaced by a softness and satisfaction that seeped from her very bones.

She closed her eyes, feeling Su Mu's body temperature, feeling his hand gently patting her back, and feeling his steady heartbeat reaching her ears through his chest.

All of this made her feel incredibly at ease.

"I will try my best..."

The girl suddenly whispered.

"What……"

Nezuko blushed and didn't say anything, but Su Mu understood and smiled as he hugged her even tighter.

Chapter 246 Your Game Ends Here

The pitch-black night

A ghost broke down the door of a family in a village and barged into the once happy home, completely destroying their happiness amidst the smell of blood.

After indulging in its prey, the ghost left with the unfinished meal, returning to its hiding place as the sun rose.

While munching on delicious food, the demon peered out through the darkness of its hiding place. The sunlight outside was always what the demon feared most.

Similarly, it is what they desire most.

I long for the day when I can bask in the sunlight.

But that's something that can never happen.

Even an 'adult' couldn't do it, let alone an ordinary evil spirit like it.

However, although it cannot bask in the sunlight, apart from this flaw, what it possesses is even more perfect.

Its powerful physique, terrifying regenerative abilities, and long lifespan are unmatched by those weak creatures.

Thinking of all this, it smiled as it looked at its prey, which it was gnawing on and had completely disfigured.

Through the outline of the prey, one can also see the small size of the prey.

This little prey, protected by her parents, was still eaten by her own parents. Not only her, but even those who protected her met the same end.

The thought of the family's fear and despair upon entering filled the demon with a sense of exhilaration, a feeling of wanting to tear apart their happiness.

Humans are nothing more than the sweetest food for evil spirits.

"Eat your fill, drink your fill, and then take a nap..."

The demon gnawed at its food, thinking with pleasure that the taste of human flesh and blood traveled through its mouth to its limbs, and that wonderful taste made the demon feel pleasure emanating from its very soul.

Just when the evil spirit thought it would quietly wait for nightfall in its hiding place as usual, it soon heard the sound of footsteps on the ground.

This caused the demon to instinctively stand up, its crimson eyes rising to gaze into the distance through the darkness. It suspected that the Demon Slayer Corps had arrived. Only these annoying creatures would always meddle in other people's business. However, logically speaking, the Demon Slayer Corps had already suffered heavy losses and didn't have much power left.

"Wang...wang..."

A dog barked excitedly.

Soon, more footsteps could be heard.

Soon, through the darkness of hiding, they saw light in the distance. Led by hunting dogs, many people were carrying hoes, kitchen knives...

They are all ordinary farmers or ordinary people in villages and towns.

Such people, appearing at night, will only become its prey.

But now, it's daytime, and a sense of fear arises from within me for no reason.

Soon, the hounds rushed in through the tunnel, barking loudly at the demon and even launching probing attacks.

"Tear..."

The demon struck suddenly, tearing the hunting dog in two almost instantly, accompanied by the dog's shrill screams.

"Here, here..."

"The ghost is here, we've found the ghost..."

More people rushed over, but instead of plunging into the darkness of the tunnel, they began digging outside with tools.

The evil spirit paced back and forth in the darkness where it was hiding, its face filled with anxiety. It could be felt that the place above its head was being dug up, and more and more people were joining in, making the process faster and faster.

Once these people dig a hole in here and let the sunlight in...

"Roar……"

A sense of fear instinctively arose within him, and he uttered threatening sounds at the diggers.

The digging seemed to come to an abrupt halt, as if the people were frightened by their own actions.

"Don't be afraid, everyone, don't be afraid. Ghosts can't stand the sunlight. The sun is so strong now, the ghost can't hurt us. We just need to drag this cruel evil spirit into the sunlight..."

"That's right, don't be afraid. Look, the evil spirits haven't dared to come out yet."

Some offered words of comfort, while others echoed their words to bolster courage, and soon the digging resumed.

"Roar, roar..."

The evil spirit roared and threatened people, but gradually it had no effect.

When the first hoe strike breaks through the shade and lets in the sunlight, more and more places that were previously blocked from the sun are dug up, the darkness is dispelled, and the sunlight shines in.
