Chapter 681: The Strong Have Their Desires
Chapter 681: The Strong Have Their Desires
Spider Mountain was vast, and the captured humans, including Demon Slayer Corps members and Demon Slayers, were either too weak or severely injured.
Locating them solely through Yecheng's aura-sensing abilities was no easy task.
As Zhongumama led Yecheng to a massive spider web and used Xue Gui Shu to unravel the cocoons of entangled spider silk, Yecheng curiously observed her.
Theoretically, Zhongumama should have been human by now, but why was she still able to use Xue Gui Shu, a skill exclusive to man-eating demons?
What had Zhongumama become? Had she transformed into a demon-devouring creature like Fusui Enmitsu, or was she an entirely new species?
Having just released numerous hostages, Zhongumama turned to see Yecheng staring at her with intense, fiery eyes, causing her body to tremble once more.
"Lord Yecheng, you mentioned earlier that as long as I behave and considering my past as a non-evil entity, you wouldn't make things difficult for me," Zhongumama said.
Seeing Yecheng's unwavering gaze, Zhongumama feared he intended to kill her after using her, feeling both terrified and deceived.
"No, no, don't misunderstand. I always keep my word, and I don't plan to kill you.
I'm merely intrigued by your body at the moment."
As a doctor, Yecheng was genuinely curious about Zhongumama's physiology.
He thought that if he could collect some samples, there might be a chance to restore Mitokado Nezuko to her original state while maintaining her combat prowess.
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, Zhongumama breated a sigh of relief, assuming he wanted to experiment on her again. In her vulnerable position, she could only meekly ask, "So, like before, you want to do it here..."
Zhongumama thought Yecheng would inject her like before.
Recalling her sister's previous experience, she showed fear and weakness, but as the weaker party, she had no choice but to comply.
After all, whether in the past or present, she had always been the one bullied; it had become her norm.
"Let's leave it for now and discuss it later when we return," Yecheng said, noticing Zhongumama's expression of despair and fear.
Sighing, he added, "You don't need to worry about what will happen to you. I just want to extract a small sample from you, and I won't harm you.
Given your unique identity, even if you're not in immediate danger, the Demon Slayer Corps will likely keep an eye on you."
Hearing this, Zhongumama relaxed, relieved that she wasn't facing a life-threatening situation and could accept being monitored.
Regardless, it was better than living in constant fear, playing the "family game" at Spider Mountain daily.
After carefully checking that the rescued individuals were unharmed, Yecheng gave orders to the captured Demon Slayer Corps members to escort the civilians down the mountain.
Meanwhile, Yecheng and Zhongumama headed to the next location to continue their rescue mission and assess the rumored "Lower Moon One's" capabilities.
Unbeknownst to Yecheng, as he and Zhongumama departed, the rescued Demon Slayer Corps members, who had admired Yecheng's back as he left, couldn't help but speak up.
"Lord Yecheng's strength is truly formidable!
And just as the rumors say, he's a lecherous demon!"
"Yes, I used to think the rumors were unfounded, but I heard it with my own ears just now.
Night City, a renowned and respected figure among the Demon Slayer Corps, was rumored to have sought the affections of a white-haired beauty. As the members listened to their conversation, they realized that Night City had previously injected something into the woman in another part of the forest.
"Night City is truly an exemplary figure for us all!" exclaimed one of the members.
"I think you might have misunderstood. Someone as powerful as Night City shouldn't be so lecherous," a new recruit, who had recently joined the Demon Slayer Corps, spoke up. "I think their words had a different meaning. And didn't you notice that the white-haired woman looked similar to the man-eating demon that controlled us and made us kill each other?"
However, just as the Demon Slayer Corps members were expressing their admiration for Night City, the newcomer's opinion was quickly drowned out by the more experienced members and veterans.
"You've only just joined the Demon Slayer Corps, and you're already talking nonsense. Night City's reputation as a ladies' man is well-known within the organization," said one of the veterans.
"Not only is he powerful, but he's also handsome, charismatic, and has a gentle personality. He's the ideal man in the eyes of many women," added another veteran.
"That's right. You're just a newcomer; you don't know anything. Even if that white-haired woman didn't have the scent of a man-eating demon, what if she actually was one? It's Night City we're talking about. Even if she were a demon, he'd still handle her with ease," said one of the female members.
"And what's wrong with a strong man having a liking for women? The Sound Pillar has multiple wives, and each one is a beauty with a stunning figure," chimed in another veteran.
As the newcomer listened to the various rumors and gossip shared by the veterans, they slowly started to change their opinion. Additionally, the veterans reminded him that his master sister and master younger sister had once mentioned that the person they admired the most was none other than the Spirit Pillar, Night City.
Could it be that the master sister he had secretly admired for so long had already fallen victim to Night City's charms?
Unbeknownst to Night City, his conversation with Spider Mom had sparked wild speculations and rumors among the Demon Slayer Corps members.
While the rumors were exaggerated, there was a grain of truth to them. Night City was indeed quite popular among the female members of the Demon Slayer Corps.
The reason for this was simple. In a world plagued by man-eating demons, it was natural for women to admire strength. As a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, Night City was an idol to many.
Among the ten pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, excluding the Love Pillar and the Worm Pillar, who were both female, the Rock Pillar was a monk, the Water Pillar was uninteresting, the Wind Pillar was eccentric, the Dawn Pillar was simple-minded, the Snake Pillar was overly eerie, and the Sound Pillar was already married with several wives.
When considering the male pillars, only Night City and the Flame Pillar, Kyojuro Rengoku, stood out as having relatively normal personalities.
Kyojuro Rengoku was known for his fiery passion and kindness towards everyone, making him highly popular.
However, compared to Night City, who was not only young and handsome but also gentle and the "Strongest Pillar," there was still a significant gap in popularity.
Night City, being young, attractive, and without a partner, was the ultimate diamond bachelor in this world, and it was only natural that he would be favored by many women.
It was said that Night City had become the subject of various unfavorable rumors due to his popularity among the female members of the Demon Slayer Corps. As a result, his fellow colleagues struggled to find romantic success, leading to resentment and gossip...
