Chapter 652: The Love and Serpent Pillars Pay a Visit
Chapter 652: The Love and Serpent Pillars Pay a Visit
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, Fugang Yiyong was clearly taken aback. He never expected Yecheng to have thought so much about this.
"
I
After all, Fugang Yiyong's personality was such that, despite appearing unsociable and maintaining a cold demeanor, as the Water Pillar, he was gentler than anyone else.
"It should be fine, I believe that boy possesses an incredible power.
Just now, wasn't there someone who was moved by the emotional bond between the siblings?"
Fugang Yiyong was left speechless by Yecheng's words.
He couldn't refute this, as Tanjiro and his sister's actions had indeed deeply touched him.
Even without Yecheng's interference, Fugang Yiyong felt that he probably wouldn't have been able to harm the sibling pair in the end.
It's as if fate is wonderfully inexplicable, and everything seems to have been predetermined in the grand scheme of things."

After completing their mission, Yecheng and Fugang Yiyong parted ways midway back.
Finding the task report too troublesome, Yecheng assigned all the reporting duties to the honest Fugang Yiyong, while he planned to return to his own village.
There was no mistake; Yecheng was different from the other Pillars. Even after joining the Demon Slayer Corps, he continued to live in his original village.
To bring joy to the village children, on his way back, Yecheng bought a variety of snacks and treats.
Crimson Fog Mountain, Night Crow Village.
Two years had passed, and due to the presence of the Demon Slayer Corps' "Spirit Pillar" residing here, this small village, which originally had a population of only a few hundred, had grown significantly in size over the past two years.
In a world plagued by man-eating demons, what was the most important thing?
Undoubtedly, it was the issue of safety!
Ordinary people were powerless against man-eating demons. If the demons wished, even just two or three of them could massacre an entire village in a single night.
The Pillar was the top-tier combat power within the Demon Slayer Corps. Most man-eating demons would flee at the mere mention of the "Pillar" name.
As for those demons with substantial strength, they had also received orders from Gyutaro Kurumado not to provoke Yecheng, the harbinger of doom.
The weak feared the reputation of the Pillars, while the strong were constrained by the Demon King's command. This resulted in Night Crow Village becoming the safest village within a hundred-mile radius.
Even after two years had passed, not a single man-eating demon dared to venture into this area.
In other remote villages, people would stay indoors at night, fearing they might become targets of the man-eating demons.
But in Night Crow Village, even at night, many children still played and frolicked outside.
Due to the safe environment, humans from the surrounding areas began to gather in Night Crow Village of their own accord.
Originally a nameless small village, within just two years, it had grown to rival some prosperous towns.
If not for its secluded mountain location and the inconvenience of transportation, Night Crow Village would likely not be far behind those large towns.
In the bustling marketplace of Night Crow Village, a girl with light green eyes, three long cherry-blossom-colored braids, and a snow-white haori draped over her open-chested uniform and skirt, was happily browsing the various food stalls with a bright smile.
Behind this cherry-blossom-haired girl was a boy with black hair, heterochromia iridum, and a bandage wrapped around his nose, following her.
The black-haired boy casually trailed the cherry-haired girl, watching her lively and cheerful demeanor as she browsed the food stalls, a faint smile creeping onto his face from beneath the bandages.
The cherry-blossom-haired girl and the black-haired boy who appeared here were not ordinary; they were "Pillars," the top-tier combatants of the Demon Slayer Corps.
The cherry-blossom-haired girl was named Sweet Temple Honey, the "Love Pillar" of the Demon Slayer Corps.
The black-haired boy was named Iblack Koban, the "Serpent Pillar" of the Demon Slayer Corps.
In terms of age among the Pillars, aside from Genya Shinazugawa, these two were probably the youngest.
"Mr. Iblack, come over here quickly, this food is so delicious!"
The main reason Honey and Xia Bannei returned to Night Crow Village was to find Yecheng and go on a mission together.
With the Demon Slayer Corps' "Final Selection" approaching, and due to the massacre two years ago caused by Yecheng, the man-eating demons in Fujisaki Mountain were not enough to meet the assessment standards.
Therefore, Honey and Xia Bannei received the Lord's order to cooperate with Yecheng to capture some new man-eating demons and replenish them in Fujisaki Mountain.
There were many reasons for choosing Yecheng and his team. Firstly, Yecheng was responsible for the incident two years ago, and he needed to take some responsibility.
Secondly, Yecheng possessed the ability to sense spiritual energy, and it was this ability that allowed him to find the hidden Demon Slayer Corps headquarters back then.
As they needed to capture man-eating demons alive, Honey, the Love Pillar, was chosen to assist, while Xia Bannei, the Serpent Pillar, volunteered to help.
However, upon arriving in Night Crow Village, Honey, a food lover, couldn't help but indulge in the various delicacies.
If it were anyone else, Xia Bannei would have likely unleashed a barrage of sarcasm by now.
But when it came to Honey, Xia Bannei could only let her do as she pleased.
"This is called Fried Potato Strips, a specialty of our Night Crow Village, made from deep-fried potatoes."
As she savored the unfamiliar delicacy, Honey's face was filled with a look of utter bliss.
Due to her unique physique, Honey's body density was eight times that of an average person, resulting in an astonishing appetite. Yet, she had the enviable ability to eat without gaining weight.
High-calorie and delicious foods like this had always been Honey's favorites.
"No wonder Mr. Yecheng has been reluctant to return to the Demon Slayer Corps. This village has so many delicious foods."
As Honey spoke without a care, the expressions of the stall owner changed upon hearing that the two were also from the Demon Slayer Corps and knew Yecheng. They became even more enthusiastic.
"You two are also from the Demon Slayer Corps and know Lord Yecheng?"
Honey and Xia Bannei were equally surprised by the stall owner's question. They had only known that Yecheng was a wandering swordsman who was later taken in by a village.
But from the stall owner's expression, it seemed that Yecheng was not only taken in but also held in high regard in this village.
