Chapter 816: Will You Continue to Help Me?
Chapter 816: Will You Continue to Help Me?
Time stood still as moonlight pierced through the dark clouds, freezing the moment in an ethereal silence.
Feng Ye's lengthy narrative came to a pause as he turned to look quietly at Kamado Nezuko, awaiting her reaction with a calm gaze.
Kamado stood there, dazed and motionless, as if her thoughts had tangled into a chaotic mess. She stared blankly, unable to process what she had just witnessed.
Feng Ye remained patient and serene, giving her time to absorb everything.
After what felt like an eternity, Kamado slowly began to untangle her jumbled thoughts, making sense of the extraordinary revelation she had just experienced. Her first words, spoken in a dazed tone, finally broke the silence.
"Am... am I dreaming?" she asked, her adorable bewilderment eliciting a suppressed chuckle from Feng Ye.
He felt a surge of joy at finding Kamado's bewildered expression amusing. It was a precious human emotion to feel joy from her cuteness and to smile at her antics—emotions that belonged to the human world.
"What you just witnessed is something even dreams rarely conjure," Feng Ye said with a gentle smile.
Kamado remained rooted to the spot, processing his words.
Indeed, the journey through time, witnessing the miracle of life's beginnings and the ebb and flow of the past and future, was something beyond the realm of dreams.
Feng Ye looked at Kamado tenderly and spoke softly, "You were my wife and my assistant during this phase of my life, and now that this particular life has ended..."
At those words, Kamado, who had been in a daze, jolted awake as if from a nightmare, her heart suddenly filled with an indescribable turmoil, akin to trembling fear.
Feng Ye was such a majestic being, akin to a deity. His presence in the human realm was merely to experience the life of a mortal, and now that this chapter of his life had concluded, it meant that Feng Ye would...
Before Kamado's thoughts could wander further, Feng Ye continued, his voice calm and gentle.
"So, will you continue to help me?"
Feng Ye extended an invitation to Kamado, offering her a chance to remain by his side.
Kamado's unwavering devotion to Feng Ye had provided him with one of the greatest contributions—in all his lifetimes, she was the only one who had shared a true 'marriage' with him, a unique bond.
Feng Ye's words halted the free fall of Kamado's heart, leaving her momentarily dazed before she became flustered and unsure. "Me? But what can I do? I'm just... I'm just..."
She was more than willing to assist Feng Ye if given the opportunity. The tales he had shared were beyond her comprehension, but she understood one thing: her husband, the man she loved, was not just an ordinary doctor. He was a formidable figure, a deity overlooking the mortal realm from above.
With his infinite power, true beauty, and greatness beyond her wildest dreams, she couldn't bear the thought of leaving his side. Just the idea of their separation shattered her heart.
"You can," Feng Ye assured her, his gaze warm and affirmative. "The magnitude of power is insignificant. It's the human emotions that matter most in this world. Your role is to help me preserve my humanity and prevent me from becoming an indifferent deity."
Kamado fidgeted, her voice filled with uncertainty. "But I don't know how... I don't know what to do."
Despite her heart's eager consent, she felt inadequate and unsure of what she could offer. She wanted to accompany Feng Ye, but she worried about her lack of skills and knowledge.
"That is something you'll have to figure out on your own," Feng Ye said, nodding gently. Without waiting for her response, he shifted his attention to the Demon Slayer Corps members and the Lower Moon Three, Lower Rank Demon, Enmu, who were still frozen in time.
Feng Ye felt no particular emotion toward Enmu—neither anger nor disgust. Throughout his countless lifetimes and encounters with death and demons, he had long ceased to pay them any mind, including Kibutsuji Muzan.
"What do you think should be done with him?" Feng Ye asked, leaving the decision of Enmu's fate to Kamado.
Kamado blinked, considering the question. A moment ago, she would have wished for Enmu's death, for him to suffer in the depths of hell, even hating herself for failing to protect Feng Ye. But now, that intense hatred had faded.
Recalling Enmu's previous words, she studied him with a critical eye and asked softly, "Has he killed many people?"
Kanroji Mitsuri whispered, "Then, he should go to hell, right?"
Feng Ye smiled faintly. "Very well, then. Let him go to hell."
As his words fell...
With a casual flip of his right hand, a delicate jade pot appeared in his palm. He pointed forward, and Byakuya's figure was instantly sucked into the pot, disappearing from view.
This world had no hell, or at least no complete version of it. Fortunately, among the worlds he carried with him, the Shinigami world had a hell, so he simply tossed Byakuya into it.
"Ah, is that the one you mentioned?"
Kanroji Mitsuri's eyes widened as she blinked in astonishment at the jade pot in Feng Ye's hand.
She had heard Feng Ye speak of how he had collected some of the worlds he had visited and placed them within a jade pot. Although she didn't understand how he had accomplished such a feat, she had heard similar tales in myths and legends, and so she attributed it to the power of the gods.
"Mhm."
Feng Ye nodded, smiling as he said, "Those few worlds are inside here, including the current one. Would you like to take a trip to those worlds?"
Kanroji Mitsuri remained silent, staring intently at Feng Ye.
The fantastical worlds Feng Ye described indeed piqued her curiosity, but more than that, she wanted to stay by Feng Ye's side and even cling to him.
Feng Ye, of course, could see right through Kanroji Mitsuri's thoughts and smiled gently before putting away the jade pot. "I'll take you there sometime when we have the chance."
"Mm-hmm."
Kanroji Mitsuri nodded like a little chick pecking at rice.
Then, as if she had just remembered something, she suddenly became a bit awkward and restrained.
She really wanted to hug Feng Ye. In the past, she would have already pulled him into her embrace, even holding him tightly for half an hour until he had to attend to other matters. But now, after learning everything, she felt a bit awkward.
Just then...
Feng Ye took a step closer and gently pulled her into his arms, smiling as he said, "There's no need to feel awkward. The old me and the present me are no different. Besides... isn't it your task to help me maintain my emotions?"
Being held in Feng Ye's arms, Kanroji Mitsuri's face turned bright red. Even though she had experienced his embrace countless times in the past, and they had been even more intimately connected than this, whenever he showed her affection, she still felt a mix of shyness and joy.
"I'm just... still not used to it," she mumbled softly, exhaling warm breaths onto Feng Ye's chest. Her body, which contained enough power to send a bull flying, now felt soft and weak, almost leaning entirely against Feng Ye.
Suddenly, she remembered something and looked up at Feng Ye, her words stumbling over themselves. "So, um, can you, like, see through my thoughts?"
Previously, she had felt that she couldn't hide anything from him, and now, recalling the fantastical stories he had told her, it suddenly dawned on her, and she gradually turned as stiff as a stone.
"Not before, but now that I'm no longer restraining my powers, I can," Feng Ye said, looking down at Kanroji Mitsuri with a hint of a teasing smile. "Your inner monologues are quite adorable, I must say."
Boom! Kanroji Mitsuri felt as if she had been struck by a thousand-pound rock, instantly turning to stone and then shattering into countless pieces.
Her face turned scarlet, even redder than on her wedding day with Feng Ye. All she could think was 'Ahhh!' as she buried her head in his chest.
Seeing Kanroji Mitsuri's mortified expression, Feng Ye couldn't help but chuckle softly and comfort her. "It's alright. I'll give you special treatment. I won't read your mind without your permission from now on."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently touched her forehead, infusing a strand of power into her soul and protecting it. This way, even if he maintained his omniscient state, Kanroji Mitsuri's thoughts would not appear in his vision.
However, this gesture was mostly symbolic, as Kanroji Mitsuri's inner thoughts were fairly easy to guess anyway.
After a long while, Kanroji Mitsuri finally regained her composure, albeit with a sense of self-abandonment. After all, she was Feng Ye's wife, and she had entrusted everything about herself to him, including her inner thoughts. Still, she was acutely aware of how embarrassing those thoughts were.
At that moment, Feng Ye waved his hand.
"Time to resume its flow."
