A person in Japan, a sword that soars to immortality.

The first floor of Yan Yanlou.

Heiyi, swaying her supple waist, arrived in front of Taiichi and Rantaro, led by the madam.

"What a handsome man!"

Standing at the door of the Japanese-style room, He Yi immediately saw Taiichi sitting inside, leisurely sipping tea while listening to Yunzhe playing the shamisen.

At the same time, noticing someone's arrival, Taiyi looked up and saw Heyi.

"It looks just like the one in the original story, no, it even looks much different."

Without needing to look closely, he could tell at a glance that He Yi, standing before him, was even more sexy and beautiful than in the original story.

After arriving at Yanyanlou, Taiyi arranged for Rantarō to be a courtesan of second rank to the courtesan Kaguya, namely Zashikimochi, under the pretext of splitting up to gather information.

The reasons for doing this were twofold: firstly, to investigate separately, and secondly, because a courtesan could not possibly serve multiple customers.

As a courtesan proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she is the most outstanding among the courtesans of Yoshiwara's entertainment district.

Women of this caliber possess talent that even surpasses that of the women residing in the inner palace of the general's mansion.

Therefore, whoever comes to the red-light district will show sufficient respect to the courtesan.

He Yi gracefully entered the room and first ordered someone to remove the table between her and Taiyi.

Instead of sitting upright like the other courtesans, she placed her legs to one side, revealing her fair, delicate feet, painted with red nail polish, without foot covers.

hiss~

"As expected of a woman who has been exposed to Western studies and has mastered Western trends."

Taiyi raised an eyebrow, secretly sighing to himself.

However, from the moment he entered until he sat down, he observed that He Yi did not find anything wrong with her.

To put it bluntly, it means that the opponent doesn't know any martial arts at all, and is a complete weakling in combat.

So, how did she eat people?

Ignoring the story of Jingyilang, Taiyi, based solely on what he saw, concluded that a weak woman like Heyi had no way of subduing a man.

"My lord, it seems you've been eyeing me for quite some time now. Is it because you're not familiar with the etiquette of the samurai class, or is it because I... am too alluring?"

He Yi propped herself up on the tatami mat with one hand, while the other hand was tucked into her sleeve, covering half her face as she giggled.

What a captivating face! Hmm, she's a master.

Taiyi remained calm and made a decision in his heart.

"You jest, Doctor. I just think, how could such a beautiful woman be associated with the word 'cannibalism'?"

jump!

"sorry!"

Suddenly, the string of the shamisen in Yunzhe's hand snapped, startling her so much that she immediately put the instrument down and knelt on the ground, trembling.

To Taiyi's surprise, before he could speak, Heyi suddenly stood up, crawled to him in two steps, and hugged him tightly.

"My lord, please don't let these outsiders spoil our fun. We're not listening anymore, so I'd like to have a private conversation with you~ Ah~"

Soft jade in my arms, fragrant breeze on my face, all that's missing is face wash.

Taiyi's lips twitched, then he revealed a playful smile, casually placed his hand on Heyi's waist, and then suddenly pulled him into his arms.

Upon seeing this, Kisuke, who was in charge of making up the bedding outside, immediately came in, quickly laid out the bedding for sleeping, bowed, and then left the room with the others, finally closing the paper sliding door.

Holy crap! You're that skilled?

But since they've all left, I can now properly investigate what secrets this He Yi holds.

But in the following time, the other party seemed to realize his intentions. No matter how Taiyi tried to get the answer from the side, Heyi avoided answering and used all sorts of roundabout methods, even trying to use her beauty to get him drunk.

As time passed, the two of them unknowingly moved from their spot against the wall to the bed.

"Doctor, aren't we moving a little too fast? I heard that your rule is that you have to provide something before you can sleep with me."

"My lord, I never imagined you were such a pure soul. But rules are rules, and people are flexible. All I want now is to be in your arms."

As soon as she finished speaking, He Yi immediately hugged Taiyi tightly, and taking advantage of the gap in her vision, she slowly placed one hand on her hair and gently pulled out a sharp hairpin.

Her little actions naturally did not escape Taiyi's notice, but in order to see what the other party was really up to, Taiyi chose to go with the flow and pretend to fall for the trap.

Suddenly, a slight stinging pain came from my neck, as if I had been bitten by a mosquito.

Immediately afterwards, a strong feeling of dizziness struck, causing Taiyi's eyes to roll back and he to faint.

"Hmph, if you were a noble warrior, I would certainly have reservations and would choose the old method to make you hand over the person."

"But the Yamada family... to put it nicely, they are the official executioners, but in reality, they are just a ronin family without any samurai rank."

He Yi pushed Tai Yi away, freeing herself from his embrace, and slowly walked to the window. Then she took out a small whistle from her waist and blew it.

The other side.

On the second floor of Inamoto-ro, in Daki's Japanese-style room.

Dressed entirely in white, he knelt before Daki, listening to her instructions.

"You've been slacking off lately, Suyi. What am I supposed to do with you? You weird-looking white pig!"

Doki grinned, revealing two long, prominent fangs, and looked at Suyi with a sinister smile.

"My lord, please be patient. I can provide you with a samurai tonight, and he will be a samurai from the Yamada Asaemon clan!"

Su Yi, her forehead pressed against the ground, sweat beading on her brow, said.

"The Yamada Asaemon clan? What's so special about their samurai? You know, what I love to eat most are beautiful women with delicate skin, like... courtesans like your sister Kaguya!"

Damn!

Because she was looking down, Doki couldn't see Suyi's eyes, which were practically bursting out of their sockets.

However, due to the vast difference in strength, Su Yi dared not make any move after hearing what she said. She could only pretend to be extremely frightened and say in a trembling voice:

"Lady Daki, the samurai of the Yamada family are different from other samurai. As their personal executioners, they must master powerful swordsmanship, so each of them is an exceptionally strong samurai."

"Your physique is no worse than that of a Demon Slayer Corps samurai. Eating them will definitely enhance your strength!"

puff!

The sash wrapped around Daki's back suddenly came to life, transforming into a sharp blade that shot out like lightning, severing Su-i's arm.

Looking at Su Yi, whose face was pale from the intense pain, Daki smiled disdainfully and said:

"My strength doesn't need to be increased by eating these things. I just want to eat humans with delicious meat. Bring him here and get out of here!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the white-clad woman leaping out of the window, Daki suddenly muttered to herself:

"Tch! Seriously, why keep such trash around? With our strength, if we wanted to eat people, who could stop us!"

"Daki, have you forgotten that lord's instructions?"

A male voice suddenly rang in her mind.

Knowing that Daki showed an indifferent expression, the male voice in his mind continued:

"In a one-on-one fight, no human is our match, but you should never underestimate the power of them when they come together. In this era, humans rely not only on swords and spears, but also on weapons such as arquebuses and cannons."

"Once we're surrounded, no matter how many we kill, we'll eventually be surrounded and killed. Don't forget, high-temperature objects will prevent us from regenerating!"

"And we've only recently become demons, and we're in Edo, the city with the highest level of military preparedness in the country. We have to be careful."

"Besides, pushing this man in plain clothes to the forefront will also allow him to draw our attention. Isn't it much better to use him to lure the Demon Slayer Corps samurai than for us to charge ahead ourselves?"

With a loud crash, Daki smashed the teacup on the table, stood up angrily, and walked towards the door.

"It's so annoying! All this fear and apprehension, I just want to kill all these ugly things!"

But this time, no matter how hard she gritted her teeth, the voice in her head wouldn't speak.

Meanwhile, at the top of a building.

A man dressed in a white haori with flame patterns, golden hair, and fiery red pupils stared wide-eyed at Yan Yanlou not far away.

"Gah~ Gah~ The ghost is there, the ghost is there!"

The cawing of ravens echoed in the quiet night.

"There really is a ghost here."

"If you dare to bare your fangs against the innocent, my Crimson Flame Blade of Purgatory will burn even your ghostly bones to ashes!!!"
