Chapter 653: Is Mr. Yecheng's Reputation That High?
Chapter 653: Is Mr. Yecheng's Reputation That High?
"We are indeed members of the Demon Slayer Corps and good friends of Mr. Yecheng."
Before Xia Bannei could say anything, the straightforward Miyuri spoke up without a second thought.
What neither Miyuri nor Xia Bannei expected was that as soon as the shop owner learned they were friends of Yecheng, his enthusiasm skyrocketed to an even higher level.
Not only did the portion of fried potato strips for Miyuri increase from medium to extra-large, but he also generously insisted that they didn't need to pay.
"Since you two are friends of Mr. Yecheng, you're naturally friends of our entire Night Crow Village.
Mr. Yecheng is a benefactor who saved my family. If I let a friend of his spend money, I'd surely get a beating from my wife when I return home."
"What? Friends of Mr. Yecheng? Where? Where are they?"
"Please, you must also try our specialty ramen. Of course, it's completely free."
"These are our crepes. Please, don't be shy."
The conversation between Miyuri and the shop owner quickly caught the attention of the other vendors on the street.
Because of this, Miyuri and Xia Bannei, who were still in a state of confusion, soon found themselves surrounded by the enthusiastic crowd on the food street.
Before they knew it, their hands were filled with various delicious treats.
Seeing their bewildered expressions, the previous shop owner took the initiative to explain, "Because of Mr. Yecheng, we have Night Crow Village today.
Even the food in your hands was taught to us by Mr. Yecheng.
For those living in this village, Mr. Yecheng is undoubtedly a great benefactor.
Although we knew beforehand that Mr. Yecheng was a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, we've never seen him with other friends.
Since you two are friends of Mr. Yecheng, feel free to treat this place like your home. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask us."
Hearing the vendors' words, Miyuri and Xia Bannei were left dumbfounded.
They never expected the villagers' respect for Yecheng to reach such heights.
They were treated with such warmth simply as friends, so what about Yecheng himself?
No wonder Yecheng didn't want to stay at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters; in Night Crow Village, he was treated even more respectfully than a lord!
Miyuri was a true foodie with a carefree personality.
She already found it hard to resist the various delicacies before her, and upon hearing that she could eat to her heart's content for free, she became even more unrestrained.
As she indulged in the feast, Miyuri wondered if Mr. Yecheng was also a foodie, for him to know so many culinary skills.
She also thought that if she could stay in this village, how happy she would be!
Every day, she could enjoy all sorts of delicious food, and the best part was that it was all free. For her, it was no different from being in paradise!
Watching Miyuri by her side, enjoying the various treats and continuously praising Yecheng, Xia Bannei couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.
So, he played to his strength in sarcasm, "Hmph, a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, and yet so unprofessional."
However, what Xia Bannei didn't expect was that just as he was feeling jealous and bad-mouthing Yecheng behind his back, the man himself suddenly appeared before them.
Looking at the pile of empty snack bags and a stack of ramen bowls piled up to a meter high in front of Miyuri, Yecheng, who had just returned to the village, couldn't help but twitch his expression as he stared at the two, "You two, what are you doing here?
In the two years since becoming the "Love Pillar," Yecheng rarely interacted with the Demon Slayer Corps, but he maintained a good relationship with the other Pillars.
Sweet Temple Honey, a disciple of the previous Flame Pillar Renkujaku Shusuro, was related to the current Flame Pillar Kurado Family. As a friend of Shusuro, Yecheng was also well-acquainted with Kurado.
"Mr. Yecheng, your village has so many delicious treats!"
"Oh, are all these for me? You must have known we were coming!" The pink-haired girl before him rushed forward, but Yecheng held her face with one hand, preventing her from getting too close. He lifted the local specialties he had just purchased, keeping them out of her reach to protect the sweets from her greedy grasp.
"These are for the children in the village. And you, you've already eaten quite a bit, haven't you? Still thinking about food?"
Despite using only one hand to restrain the girl, Yecheng's physical prowess was no match for her, and he was pushed back several steps.
However, Yecheng wasn't surprised. The woman before him, Sweet Temple Honey, had a slender figure and an ample bust, making her an adorable sight. But in reality, her body density was over eight times that of a normal person, granting her extraordinary strength.
"What's the harm in a little snack? Besides, don't you know that girls have a separate stomach for sweets?"
Yecheng's refusal didn't faze Honey, who persisted in her attempt to snatch the sweets from his hand.
"No, no, no. It's not just about having a separate stomach. Your stomach is like ten people's worth!"
Despite his stern words, Yecheng eventually gave in and shared some of his treats with Honey.
The reason was simple; he knew her well. If he didn't offer her some, she wouldn't let it go.
Honey wouldn't have been so casual with anyone else, but since it was Yecheng, she didn't mind.
Yecheng and Honey had a close relationship, and he had always taken good care of her when she was in the Demon Slayer Corps.
In terms of their time in the Demon Slayer Corps, Honey and Yecheng were quite similar. Honey was a disciple of the current Flame Pillar, Kurado Family, when he was a Class A Demon Slayer.
Due to his friendship with Shusuro, Yecheng also had a close relationship with Family.
After the death of his wife, Shusuro became despondent. His eldest son, Family, carried the burden of their family's demon-hunting legacy. To earn his father's approval, he worked tirelessly.
Yecheng admired Family's passionate and optimistic nature more than Shusuro, who was heartbroken. Whenever he visited the Demon Slayer Corps, he would pay Family a visit and indirectly teach him many things through their sparring sessions.
Honey, being Family's disciple, often accompanied him in his training. Over time, she became quite familiar with Yecheng.
Especially since Yecheng always brought gifts when he visited, and these treats would inevitably end up in Honey's stomach. After two years, they had become quite close.
