The Warrior of Love

"This is really embarrassing."

Jiang Liu sighed slightly and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I thought I would be able to find a solution sooner or later, so I was always confident, but now it seems that I may have been wrong about the fundamental issue."

If the props from the other world cannot be used by the "natives", then Jiang Liu's goal of "finding a way to cure Feng in the other world" is itself unrealistic.

"Uh..." After staring at Jiang Liu in silence for a moment, Feng's heart was moved when he saw his slightly self-blaming and somewhat lost expression.

How to put it, a boy like Jiang Liu who has always been strong, once he shows his vulnerable side, it is easy to arouse women's maternal love - especially now that he has such a good-looking face.

"Silly guy..." said the red-haired female ninja, "It's not your fault in the first place. This is the result of my own choice to survive."

As she said this, she knocked Jiang Liu on the head playfully.

Unexpectedly, after this blow, when her body came into contact with Jiang Liu, she felt an electric shock at her fingertips, and her body suddenly felt numb, followed by a burst of warm currents bursting out of her body and flowing to her limbs.

Your originally weak body now feels like it has regained some strength?

"Hey, this is it?"

Both Jiang Liu and Feng discovered this situation.

Jiang Liu was very smart and figured it out in an instant: "It's because of me. I am regarded as a medium. If you contact me, it is equivalent to building a connection between Feng and the props in the other world, so the potion can work."

The specific principle is unclear, perhaps it is due to skills such as independent manifestation, or perhaps Jiang Liu's "Original Code of All Things" has given him a physique that matches the rules of different worlds.

But all in all, Feng can finally use the panacea to heal himself!

"this is……"

The red-haired female ninja carefully observed the potion bottle in her hand and shook her head.

"I don't understand what's going on."

She is not Jiang Liu, and she doesn't know what changes have taken place here. She only knows that the potion will take effect if she comes into contact with Jiang Liu.

However, from what happened just now, it seems that as long as the bodies separate, the potion will "cool down" again, and it is necessary to maintain physical contact with Jiang Liu.

and many more!

According to this line of thinking, does it mean that the more "intimate" the contact, the better the effect of the medicine will be?

"In that case..."

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly, first stuffed the bottle into Jiang Liu's mouth, unexpectedly forcing him to drink a large gulp of the medicine, then reached out and pinched Jiang Liu's nose, causing him to subconsciously open his mouth -

She kissed him without giving him a chance to refuse!

Chapter 199: I Gradually Understood Everything

"Nice to meet you again, Toyama-kun."

On the second day after returning to the Demon Slayer Corps, the "Lord" invited Jiang Liu to the headquarters. In the sunny corridor, a frail man with an ugly sick face but a very elegant temperament was "watching" Jiang Liu.

"It's only been less than a month, but I feel like I haven't seen you in years."

Jiang Liu sat cross-legged on the wooden floor casually. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Really? Have I changed so much?"

Although his appearance has indeed changed a lot, so much so that even Feng and Shinobu Kocho did not recognize him at first sight, the lord is blind, so logically he should not be confused by the change in appearance.

“The atmosphere is not right.”

The lord smiled and said, "Because I can't see, I can feel it very clearly... Everyone's aura is different. Basically, I can tell the members of the Demon Slayer Corps apart just by feeling.

You gave me a very different feeling when we first met, as if there was another huge shadow behind you... If I didn't know better, I would have thought you were a highly skilled monk or something."

"Oh?"

Jiang Liu was a little surprised. This person was just a mortal, but he could vaguely feel the breath of the mecha god in his body?

"Now, it is an existence as hot as the sun. Haha, this may sound strange to someone like me who can't see, but your existence is indeed very dazzling to me.

Among the pillars, there are some whose life force is obviously stronger than that of ordinary humans, but even if we add them together, we cannot compare to you."

Jiang Liu's expression became serious and he began to re-examine the "lord" of the Demon Slayer Corps.

He originally thought that the Ubuyashiki clan was able to support the Demon Slayer Corps simply because of their "money power", but now it seems that it is not that simple.

Sixth sense...his intuition is quite strong.

"Our clan is naturally different from ordinary people. This can be considered a useful special skill." The lord acted very calmly. "In history, several family heads have avoided the destruction of the Demon Slayer Corps with their superhuman intuition. We have also accumulated a lot of wealth thanks to this special ability."

"Is it okay to tell me something like this?"

Jiang Liu suddenly asked: "This should be considered a secret of your clan."

"There's nothing to hide..." The lord's smile was a little bleak. "Even if we have such ability, our family's constitution is very weak. It's difficult for children to grow up, and even if they grow up, they are likely to die early... Even if I can earn a lot of wealth, what can I do? If possible, I would like to use wealth to exchange for the liberation of my family from this cruel fate."

Jiang Liu frowned slightly. He didn’t know much about the detailed information of "Demon Slayer", but he vaguely knew that the background of the Demon Slayer Corps was related to Muzan’s background.

"What's going on? It shouldn't be a genetic disease, right?"

"A genetic disease... is something similar. This is - a curse."

Speaking of this, the lord's elegant smile couldn't help but fade.

"The curse caused by Muzan Kibutsuji."

Muzan Kibutsuji was born into our clan——the lord calmly recounted the past of his family.

Originally, the Ubuyashiki family were just ordinary nobles, but among their descendants of a certain generation there was a person who was born weak and sickly, and could die at any time. After undergoing special treatment, that person temporarily escaped the shadow of death, but was infected with another strange disease: he could not be exposed to the sun.

That’s right, that person was Muzan, but he wasn’t called that name at the time.

Later, Muzan killed the doctor but found that his strange disease was incurable. In order to find the legendary blue spider lily to cure himself, he created subordinates called "ghosts"... From then on, it was a story about evil ghosts causing harm to the world and causing all kinds of tragedies.

I don’t know if it’s because of the blood connection or something else, it’s like retribution. Because of Muzan, the Ubuyashiki clan has shorter and shorter lives, and their bodies often suffer from strange diseases...

After being instructed by an expert, they realized that they must kill Muzan and expel all the evil spirits in the world in order to cleanse the filth that stained the name "Ubuyashiki", and thus formed the first "Demon Slayer Corps".

However, the Demon Slayer Corps at the beginning were just a group of ordinary samurai. They could not kill the evil demons directly, and could only rely on a life-and-death fight to drag the war until sunrise. Therefore, the exchange ratio was quite tragic, and Muzan never took them seriously at all.

Until a man appeared - Yuichiro Tsugumi.

He was born with the Markings (the ultimate manifestation of a breathing technique that can greatly increase physical strength in a short period of time), and also had a talent for swordsmanship similar to a pure heart, so he easily reached the "transparent realm".

He also created the original breathing method: Sun Breathing, and forced Muzan into a desperate situation.

But Tsugikoku was just a human, and after Muzan died of old age, he killed all the inheritors of the Sun Breathing, and the Demon Slayer Corps was almost in a situation of being wiped out. Fortunately, they hid their tracks in time and finally survived.

Although many schools of breathing techniques have been passed down to this day, the original Sun Breathing and the method of opening the patterns have been completely lost, and no one can reproduce the power of Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

"As long as the curse can be removed and our children can grow up healthy, I don't mind any price I have to pay." Ubuyashiki ended with these words.

Jiang Liu was immersed in the profoundness of the ancient story and it took him a long time before he spoke slowly.

"Why are you telling me this all of a sudden?"

He didn't think Ubuyashiki would be the kind of person who liked to chat about family matters. Besides, even if he found someone to chat with, it wouldn't be Jiang Liu's turn - he and his lord had only met two or three times.

"I think there's hope for you."

The lord smiled faintly and said, "Since Lord Tsugokuni Yoshiichi, the Demon Slayer Corps has not been able to pose a real threat to Kibutsuji Muzan. They are just trying to make up for the loss. However, the dead cannot be resurrected and the tragedy cannot be reversed.

The only way to completely eliminate the tragedies caused by demons is to kill the original demon, Muzan Kibutsuji, but it is not easy to do this, so we have been accumulating strength. "

He sighed slightly, as if recalling something, and shook his head gently.

"This process was long and painful... But now, the power of the Demon Slayer Corps has returned to its peak. Various talents have gathered here, and the quality of the pillars is exceptionally outstanding among all the generations.

Although the two weapons, Breathing of Sun and Stripes, have not been found yet, the opportunity is now and it will never come again. If our generation cannot defeat Muzan, I am afraid there will be no chance in the future.

Yuanshan Jiangliujun..."

He raised his head and looked at Jiang Liu.

"Are you willing to become a Pillar? It is for my own selfish reasons, but also to eliminate all the evil spirits in the world and prevent the cycle of tragedy. Could you please lend me your strength?"

His tone was very sincere. Jiang Liu fell silent and looked at him seriously.

After a moment, Jiang Liu's expression relaxed and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Well, I have to deal with Muzan anyway, so if that's the case..."

Hearing the relaxed tone in Jiang Liu's voice, Ubuyashiki felt relieved and smiled.

"I reject!"

"what?"

The usually calm and composed lord was also stunned and made a sound that was out of character.

"Mr. Yuanshan, you?"

"I refuse. I will not become a pillar."

Jiang Liu scratched his head: "I can't be in office for many days anyway."

"What do you mean?" Ubuyashiki was shocked and confused.

"The Demon Slayer Corps will be disbanded soon."

Jiang Liu straightened up slowly and stretched lazily.

"Because I have decided to kill Muzan."

"Ugh?"

"By the way, Mr. Ubuyashiki, I have a question for you."

Jiang Liu stretched his body and asked, "If Muzan - the original demon dies, will all demons disappear?"

Ubuyashiki had not yet recovered from Jiang Liu's words. When he heard this question, he was stunned for a moment, and then began to think about it.

"Muzan can control all demons. His blood is like puppet threads. If he dies, all demons under his control will be destroyed.

However, if it is a demon that has escaped from Muzan's control beforehand, since it is not controlled by him, it will naturally not be affected."

Simply put, it is like the relationship between a fruit tree and its fruit. If the fruit is still on the tree, the fruit will naturally be affected when the tree dies.

But if the fruit has already left the branch and even taken root and sprouted in another piece of land, it will not be affected.

"You'll consider this... You really know the existence of Tamayo. In other words, Muzan's death will not affect Tamayo, Yushiro, Nezuko and others."

Jiang Liu nodded: "Okay, this way I can let go."

"Wait a minute! Mr. Yuanshan, what are you doing?"

Ubuyashiki took a deep breath and said, "Are you going to go directly to Muzan Kibutsuji?"

"Of course..." Jiang Liu said innocently, "Isn't this the most direct method?"

"This...is true."

For a moment, Ubuyashiki felt neither amused nor helpless.

"This is also my wish, but it is not easy to implement. First of all, we need to find the hiding place of Muzan Kibutsuji, and secondly, we need to gather enough strength, at least to destroy all the pillars——"

"not enough!"

Jiang Liu asserted: "Even if we send all the pillars, it will not be enough. It will not even be possible to hold Muzan back until sunrise. He is fundamentally different from other evil spirits."

"This……"

"But I can." Jiang Liu said calmly, "I can deal with Muzan by myself."

Ubuyashiki was speechless for a moment, and then he said helplessly: "Mr. Toyama, I understand your urgency. Believe me, I want to send Muzan to death earlier than you do, and I also think that your strength exceeds that of any other pillar.

However, the plan to defeat Muzan cannot be rushed. He is an evil spirit that has existed since the Heian period, and it is difficult to defeat him by one person alone."

"I'm different... Ubuyashiki, hold out your hand."

"what?"

Although he was very confused, Jiang Liu's words had an inexplicable deterrent power, which made the lord stretch out his slender wrist which was pale and sickly.

Jiang Liu also stretched out his hand and slowly shook his.

"—"

Time stood still at this moment. The blind man showed a shocked expression, which gradually turned into disbelief and... touching?

Yes, it was an emotion, just like the feeling of being conquered from the bottom of your heart after seeing the magnificent natural scenery.

Light, a great giant, stands tall in the blind vision of man.

That is something beyond the reach of human beings, some kind of higher and more sacred existence.
