This is also why they were able to get to know Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Xia Yan dug up twenty blue spider lily bulbs in one go.
Plants with bulbs are generally very resilient, so he wasn't worried that this would kill the blue spider lily.
Of course, he didn't take too much.
If this thing can't be grown at home, the blue spider lilies left here can be used as a backup.
"They even collect soil and water...?"
Looking at Xia Yan, who had also collected samples of the nearby soil and water, and seemed to be very professional, Tanjiro felt a sense of awe and admiration.
After all, in his mind, growing flowers only required digging a hole, burying some soil, and counting one, two, three, four, five.
But I never expected it to get so complicated with Xia Yan.
"Just in case, after all, people can experience acclimatization issues when suddenly moved to a new place."
"But this should be about right."
He took a large bag of both soil and water, and after giving a small portion of it to Ainz Ooal Gown Natsuhiko for analysis and testing, Natsuhiko wore a satisfied smile.
He felt he was getting closer and closer to achieving his ultimate goal.
I'm immortal, I never age, and even shit is afraid of me!!!
Thinking about this, Xia Yan felt more relaxed than ever before, and he almost wanted to sing a song. He was so excited that he couldn't stop.
"Is that so? I'm so glad I could help you!"
Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, Tanjiro's face lit up with an even happier smile than Xia Yan's.
It must be said that sincerity can sometimes be a killer move.
Seeing Tanjiro's happy smile because he could help him, and thinking about the tragedy that would soon befall the boy, Natsuhiko frowned slightly.
I am not a good person.
Perhaps joining the Demon Slayer Corps to hunt demons is considered a good deed in the eyes of others.
However, Xia Yan knew that what he was doing was nothing more than satisfying his destructive desires.
If he had to define himself, Xia Yan would say he is a "self-centered" person.
For him, there is no such thing as good or evil; everything he does has only one starting point: whether he wants to or not.
He will do what he wants to do, even if others see it as an unforgivable "evil deed." And he will not do what he doesn't want to do, even if it is a "good deed" that everyone is looking forward to.
He didn't kill the demons because it was a good deed; he simply found it amusing and wanted to kill them.
same.
He might let the ghost kill people before intervening because he's bored, simply because he doesn't want to save them.
He would use despicable and coercive means to bring Tamayo back to his side, and he would completely disregard Kanae's feelings and turn her into a demon.
All his actions boil down to three words.
My pleasure.
But precisely because of this, Xia Yan has very clear standards for judging good and evil, right and wrong.
And without a doubt, by this standard of judgment, Tanjiro, or rather the Kamado family, are all kind and good people.
In fact, at first, Xia Yan only wanted to use them to help him find the Blue Spider Lily, and then forget about them in the world.
After all, according to the plot development, letting Nezuko become a demon would be a more advantageous choice for him.
Xia Yan wasn't sure how long it would take after acquiring the Blue Spider Lily to develop a potion that would allow demons to overcome their greatest weakness: sunlight.
However, he was certain that the demon Nezuko transformed into could overcome sunlight.
If we had a demonized Nezuko as a case study, it would greatly accelerate the progress of the research.
But now, looking at Tanjiro's sincere smile, he suddenly didn't want the tragedy of Kamado 880's family to happen.
Tanjiro is a kind and warm-hearted child, and the other children are all well-behaved and adorable.
Mrs. Aoi is gentle and virtuous, with a good temper, a sweet appearance, an outstanding figure, a slender waist, and a round bottom. Her granary is also very well-funded...
Nezuko has great potential for the future...
The Zao family are all good people...
Good people should not be held at gunpoint!
Thinking of this, even without a month of internal struggle, Xia Yan still made a decision that went against the family precepts.
He decided to help the Kamado family change their original tragedy.
……
"……move place?"
After hearing Xia Yan's words, Kui Zhi blinked in confusion, wondering why he would suddenly tell her something like this.
“That’s right, move.” Xia Yan nodded and continued, “It’s too dangerous for a widow to live in the mountains with a child.”
"Perhaps you don't know, but in this world, there exists a creature called a 'ghost.'"
"They can only move at night and feed on human flesh..."
"Um, Xia Yanjun..."
Aoi interrupted Natsuhiko, a polite but awkward smile on her face.
"Those are just ghost stories you're telling to scare little kids away from going out at night..."
Chapter 182 The Story in the Grove
Looking at Xia Yan's serious expression, Kui Zhi showed a slightly troubled look.
After seeing Natsuhiko and Tanjiro return with a great haul, she initially thought Natsuhiko had come back to say goodbye.
However, the other party said that they had something important to discuss with me privately.
Then, out of nowhere, he produced a bunch of snacks, and after having Tanjiro and Nezuko watch over his younger siblings, he took him to a small grove of trees not far from his home.
Goodness, so many kids are watching!
Are you starting to stop avoiding people now?!
This simple and direct operation caused Mrs. Aoi's CPU to burn out and start smoking.
This caused her to momentarily freeze up.
When they came to their senses, Xia Yan had already led them into the grove.
All sorts of random thoughts, like bubbles in boiling water, uncontrollably popped into my mind one after another.
A lone man and woman in the woods...
How should I respond if the other party makes an unreasonable request?
do you accept?
But we've only known each other for less than a day. Won't she think I'm a frivolous woman?
refuse?
How should I refuse?
What if he gets angry and tries to force himself on me?
Should we resist, or should we acquiesce?
If he resists, what will he do when he uses the children as a threat?
If I have a child, what should I name him/her...?
Just as Mrs. Aoi was in a state of utter confusion, constantly racking her brains for various coping strategies, she discovered that Natsuhiko had pulled her into the grove to discuss something that was actually...
This is indeed a serious matter.
“That…Xia Yanjun…”
"Those are just ghost stories you told to scare little kids away from going out at night, right?"
Hearing Xia Yan earnestly explaining the existence of "ghosts" to her, Kui Zhi sighed softly and interrupted him.
"If ghosts really exist, then they would break into houses too. If that were the case, wouldn't everyone have been eaten by ghosts long ago?"
Xia Yan frowned and glanced at Kui Zhi, who had interrupted him.
Then, with lightning speed, he slapped her on the butt.
Pia——
The crisp sound echoed through the grove.
"Hah!"
Startled by the sudden attack, Aoi almost screamed.
But in order not to attract the attention of the children in the room, she covered her mouth and swallowed it back, only letting out a somewhat cute exclamation.
Kui Zhi's face turned bright red instantly.
She felt as if all the blood in her body had rushed to her head, making her dizzy and unable to think straight.
Although the sound was loud, Xia Yan didn't actually use much force, so Kui Zhi didn't feel much pain.
But as the slight pain disappeared, it was replaced by a tingling sensation.
This strange and unusual feeling, which she had never experienced before, continued to erode her heart.
Kui Zhi's heart raced and her breathing quickened.
Since she wasn't working at home, Mrs. Aoi wasn't wearing her usual white square-necked long dress, but rather a thin purple Ichimatsu-patterned kimono with a small crest.
Although the design of kimonos is based on straight lines and does not accentuate the figure, for a normal person wearing one, it looks like they are wearing a barrel around their body.
However, at this moment, Mrs. Aoi's kimono was squeezed into an hourglass shape by her figure.
Watching the waves splashed up by the attack on the sunflower's rear armor, and feeling the bouncy, soft texture in his palm, Xia Yan nodded in satisfaction.
