Chapter 98

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qingxi woke up and felt something was wrong, but she couldn't put it into words.

She sat in the quilt for a long time and was in a daze for a long time. It was not until she heard the sound of someone walking in the corridor outside the shoji door that she jumped up as if her butt was on fire.

During this process, due to her unsteady steps, she fell back again.

"Ah Xi? Is something wrong?" Outside the shoji door, Beiming Island Xingming, who was about to go to his room, stopped. After waiting for a long time without a response from the girl in the room, he reminded her with some concern: "I'm coming in."

The shoji door was opened, and the next moment the cold wind and sunlight from outside rushed into the girl's room.

Listening to the breathing sounds in the room, Beimingyu Xingming walked over to the girl and squatted down. He asked, "What's wrong?"

Sitting in the back, Qingxi's blue pupils were misty and soon a lot of moisture gathered. She held her cheeks with both hands, sniffing and snorting, and mumbled: "I bit my tongue, ow - it hurts."

Thinking something had happened, Beimingyu Xingming was extremely nervous. He was silent for a moment. Just as the air froze, he asked, "You," paused, "what were you doing just now?"

"I," Qingxi, who was still holding her face and waiting for the pain to pass, blurted out a word and became excited again. She looked up and stared at Beimingyu Xingming's face, well, his body.

The girl's gaze was too scorching and carried with it a desire to see through everything. If he wasn't sure that Ah Xi was a good child, Beiming Island Xingming didn't know what he would do next.

"Mr. Beimingyu." Qingxi seemed to have confirmed something, and she excitedly threw herself into the arms of the tall young man, "My eyes are fine.

No, I should say that I have already balanced the spiritual power and the Eye of Dialysis.

From now on, I will never look at someone's entire body again."

Beimingyu Xingming steadily held the little girl in his arms who was hugging his neck and jumping and screaming. At this time, he also understood what kind of look she had just given him.

It turned out that she was experimenting on herself.

but--

Beimingyu Xingming patted her back to calm her down, then tucked her into bed, wearing only a thin undershirt. He patted her head gently and taught her, "Ah Xi, don't say things like that just now that look at someone's whole body. It's very rude."

After the excitement, Qingxi remembered the pain in her mouth and held her face, humming and nodding.

After teaching the little girl a lesson, Beimingyu Xingming stood up and said, "Your tongue must have been bitten and is bleeding. I can smell a faint smell of blood. In that case, Ah Xi, you can have porridge for breakfast today. I'll make some for you."

"Can you smell it like this, Mr. Beiming Island?" Qingxi asked with a smack of her lips. Seeing that he was about to close the shoji door and leave, she quickly said, "Mr. Beiming Island, you've been busy patrolling. You should go and rest. I can make breakfast myself. If you don't come, Tsurumaru can also come."

As she was about to crawl out of the bed, she said, "Tsurumaru and I are living a life of luxury right now. How can we have the nerve to ask you, someone who works so hard every day, to come back and do the housework?"

Outside the shoji door, Beiming Island Xingming paused as he was about to pull it shut. "Aki, although I know you were older than us, you are a child now. Children are allowed to rely on adults... I'm here, Tsurumaru is here too. Don't take on everything you think you can do. We are family, aren't we? Being lazy, relying on others, playing tricks, even being scheming and being mean within a certain range, that's all... allowed."

Finally, you can also call me teacher like Yangtai and the others, or just call me by my name. We have known each other for so long, isn't the word "sir" too distant? "

Qingxi, who had never heard such words spoken to her by others, was a little stunned for a moment. She mumbled twice, and after a while, she whispered to Gao Daqing, who was still standing at the door as if waiting for something, "Brother...Xingming?"

In the end, Qingxi, who was too embarrassed to call the other person "brother", called the other person's name.

Beimingyu Xingming, who felt a little disappointed that the little girl didn't call him brother, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and hummed softly in a low voice, then he closed the shoji door.

A faint figure fell on the shoji door, and disappeared as he walked.

Brush——

With a thick quilt covering his head, Qingxi lay on the mattress motionless.

Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.

Today is just an ordinary day, why would Mr. Beimingyu, oh no, it’s Mr. Xingming, suddenly make a heartfelt confession to me?

I have left too many ties called "threads" in this world. What if I can't bear to leave in the future?

However, there shouldn't be any problem staying here.

After all, I can't go back to my original world, right?

Then...how about you just stay here?

No, that's not right. Even if she is prepared to stay in this era, she cannot relax. Before settling down, there is still a huge mountain named Muzan Kibutsuji blocking her way.

She had no grudge against him, but she couldn't help it. Her [bonds] were all working hard to make him disappear from this world.

Pay attention, I really try my best.

If you don't want Xing Ming and everyone you know to die, you have to find a way to make them die.

So - at least until Muzan Kibutsuji disappears from this world, she cannot sit back and relax.

After realizing this, Qingxi also felt embarrassed.

As a result, does his newly established goal overlap with the Demon Slayer Corps?

The reason why the Demon Slayer Corps' demon hunters killed Muzan Kibutsuji: to prevent him from destroying every happy family.

The reason why she killed Muzan Kibutsuji: She wanted him to disappear quickly because she wanted her family to live a good life.

Emmmm, compared to this, her reason seems so petty.

Then change it.

For world peace!!!

Her mind was full of random thoughts, and finally, because there was not enough air in the quilt, she stuck her head out.

"Woooa ...

“Ahhhhhhh!!!”

"How's it going? Are you scared?"

Tsurumaru Kuninaga took off the Prajna mask on his face and asked with a smile to the girl who was so scared that tears were falling from her eyes.

Qingxi was so angry that she almost fell backwards. Unable to hold back, she stretched out her foot from under the quilt and kicked the handsome face next to her.

From the corner of her eye, she saw Gyoumei, who had hurried over after hearing the commotion. She complained loudly, "Gyoumei, Tsurumaru scared me with his Prajna mask."

There was a hint of crying in her voice, showing that the little girl was really scared.

Beiming Island Xingming reached out and grabbed the back of the collar of He, the troublemaker at home, and said, "Don't worry, I will take him out."

"Well, I just wanted to make a joke." The back of his shirt was lifted by the collar, and because the other party lifted it a little high, the handsome guy who was over 180cm tall was still standing on tiptoe when he took it off.

"Master has completely mastered the spiritual power, and his eyes have healed. It's such a happy thing, shouldn't we celebrate it?" Tsurumaru Kuninaga argued.

"Are you celebrating?" Qingxi slapped the mattress angrily. "Also, Xingming, he just eavesdropped on our conversation. Beat him up!!"

Grief Island Xingming: ...

It's so lively at home early in the morning.

.

"Good boy, you've passed."

In the crow house converted from a warehouse, Qingxi touched the five crows standing in front of him.

She took out a letter and was about to put it into the small mailbox on one of the crow's feet when she paused and called Jiro who was playing with five kittens.

Well, let me explain again, it was Jiro who was playing with them, but seeing Taro and the others jumping around so happily, everyone probably thought he was playing with them.

Seeing Qingxi waving at him, Jiro flapped his wings and the wind blew, turning the five cats that were about to pounce on him into balls of fur and rolling out one by one.

After taking a satisfied look at the cats that were rolling around in a daze, Jiro jumped in front of Qingxi.

"These five will be your minions from now on," Qingxi said, pointing to the five crows standing in the front. "Send the remaining crows in the crow house to headquarters. I'll write down the rest of the instructions in this letter. Please give it to the delivery room." After a moment's hesitation, she pursed her lips and said, "Give it to the lord, he will make the arrangements."

We said before that Jiro should have a rest. This year, Jiro has stayed at home for more than half a month, except when he had something to do with the Demon Slayer Corps or when he was bored and flew out to play.

After eating and drinking every day, my head has grown bigger.

Qingxi put the letter into the mailbox hidden under the crow feathers on his chest. After flapping his wings and making the cats at home meow away again, Jiro led a group of crows in the crow house and flew into the sky towards the headquarters.

After watching them go away, Qingxi took over Jiro's job of "playing" with cats.

This time, there are only five mutant crows. Including the previous ones, there are now thirty mutant crows in the headquarters.

Considering that the crows she is currently raising are almost a year old, the remaining crows that have not mutated may not mutate even if she continues to raise them.

Of course, it is not impossible, but it takes too long, and Ubuyashiki Yoya is in urgent need, so she can only give up this batch of crows and raise a new batch. If any of them mutate, she will send them to the headquarters.

Qingxi decided to put this matter on hold until Ubuyashiki Yoya had a new batch of crows delivered.

However, she was still busy. The Eye of Dialysis could be closed, and after mastering the spiritual power, the matter of making the amulet would need to be put on the agenda. In addition, it was only a month or two away from the beginning of spring, and the wedding of Koharu Aya and Riko would be put on the agenda. Although she would not go to help, she had to prepare gifts and gifts.

There is no need to worry about the gift money. Yaoyan is in the clinic. Ask him to find out how much gift money Keiko and Mei will give, and she will follow suit.

Gifts need to be prepared quickly and sent in advance.

Well, there is no problem with this one. After Qingxi asked Madam Tianyin what she would send, she also sent one. Of course, she is the head of the family after all, so the gifts she sent were just a few fewer than what she sent.

The intention is there, and there are no mistakes.

Time passed quickly and the lively atmosphere of the New Year passed. Qingxi, who had finished Tsurumaru Kuninaga's amulet theory course in his room and had already started to try to make one, received a piece of news after scrapping the fifth amulet of the day - the Wind Pillar Kitaya Genei, who had been in a coma in the clinic for nearly three months, woke up.

However, at the same time, she also learned one thing. Due to physical reasons, the other party's strength was greatly reduced and he could no longer continue to be the Wind Pillar, so he had explained this to Ubuyashiki Kakuya and retreated from the position of Pillar to the back, becoming a Wind Breathing Cultivator.

After reading the letter that Yagen Toushirou had sent to him, Qingxi let out a long sigh, "The Nine Pillars have been reduced from the original four to only two now..."

Thinking back to last year at the headquarters, the four Pillars were still discussing selecting five from the A-class ghost hunters to fill the remaining nine Pillar positions. At that time, Ubuyashiki was still under consideration, but before the end of the year, two were removed from the four. She knew without much thought that new people would be promoted to the Pillar positions this year.

Otherwise, if all the burdens fall on Xingming and Mr. Purgatory, they won't be able to handle it.

Things turned out just as Qingxi had expected. After attending the wedding of Koharu Aya and Riko, two other people became pillars at the invitation of Ubuyashiki Kyouya, and she knew both of them.

They are Tengen Uzui, the Sound Pillar, and Kanae Kocho, the Flower Pillar.
