Chapter 26: The Connection Between Chest Wraps and Beheadings...

  "Ah?!" Fujiwara no Mokou, who had been staring blankly at the cracked doll in her hand, suddenly looked up at Tenshi and kicked out with her leg, aiming straight for his face.

  Bang!

  Girl, is this behavior of yours something you did because you couldn't control yourself due to excessive joy?

  "......So excited, Mei Hong, how about we do it again? I can take it..."

  Bang!

  Withdraw your leg and kick out again.

  You're doing it on purpose, you absolutely are doing it on purpose, Chen Yi can't take it anymore.

  Directly grab the foot that kicked again and casually touch the leg with one hand.

  "Is this your welcome, Meihong?"

  Fujiwara Meikou tugged at her leg, but failed to pull it out from under Chen Yi's grasp. Instead, Chen Yi became even bolder and began caressing the exposed small leg.

  The unusual sensation coming from her calf made Fujiwara's face immediately turn red.

  Chen Yi saw it, and an evil thought appeared in his heart, so he became more reckless with his hands, slowly moving up along her calf...

  "You... are so annoying!!" As Zhen Yi's face turned redder and redder, Mei Hong, who was getting angrier and more embarrassed by the second, picked up a rock (where did she even get it from?) and hurled it at Zhen Yi's head with a loud whizzing sound.

  The stone shattered...

  "Not bad, huh! Fujihana Miroku!" With a head full of debris, Chen Yi let go of his mischievous hands and gave Fujihana Miroku a thumbs up. "Looks like you've been training well!"

  "Soul淡! What are you doing here?! Are you in trouble again and thought of bringing your problems to me?!" She said with a displeased face, sitting on the hay spread on the ground without any courtesy, not even noticing her chest wrap was still on top...

  "Oh! That's right, I thought of you living alone and struggling here, and now I'm homeless and wandering around, so naturally I came to you. You won't refuse to take in a poor, homeless monster like me, will you?" Chen Yi looked pitiful.

  "Impossible! Who would take in a detestable monster like you?" Fujihara Akane's face still flushed from earlier, refused without hesitation.

  "Aww? Don't refuse me, you know my combat power is quite high..."

  "Are you threatening me? You damned monster!" Fujihana Akane interrupted Tatsuyu's words without hesitation.

  "How can you say that? How would I threaten my friend? What I mean is, as a reward for me staying here, I can guarantee the peace and your personal safety."

  Looking at Fujiwara's sister, Beni, holding a cracked and worn-out doll of Tadayoshi.

  "Moreover, your life now is not calm, right...? Huh? What's this? A bandage? Did you get hurt, Mei Hong?"

  Chen Yi saw the bandage (breast wrapping cloth) placed on the hay and wondered.

  "That's strange, no blood, no injury, what are you preparing bandages for, could it be..."

  Chen Yi brought the bandage to his nose, and a strange fragrance wafted up. It was indeed the chest wrapping cloth. With an expression of sudden realization, Chen Yi immediately discovered that he was shrouded in a shadow.

  Lifting his head, Chen Yi saw that his sister Hong was flushed all over her face with steam rising from her head and tears in the corners of her eyes, holding a stone as big as a millstone.

  "Alas!? Calm down..."

  Boom!

  Chen Yi's head was smoking, with a tragic smile on his face, and he fell to one side.

  Fujiwara Meikou put the broken stone on one side, and with a red face, she grabbed the cloth wrapped around Chen Yixi's chest.

  One pull, didn't budge...

  Soul is weak! Fujiwara's sister Hong was furious, and she pulled the cloth wrapped around Chen Yi's chest even harder, while one foot kept kicking his arm.

  "What are you doing with my stuff?" Chen Yi groggily regained consciousness, still dazed and saying something he shouldn't have.

  "What did you say!!"

  As expected, Meihong suddenly burst out in anger the next moment.

  Chen Yi also knew he had done something wrong and held up the cloth that wrapped his chest with both hands.

  "Please forgive me..."

  With a face flushed with anger or shyness, Meihong took the cloth wrapping around Chenyi's chest without hesitation and put it away.

  Then she saw Chen Yi's disappointed face, and Hong Mei, who had just calmed down, became annoyed again.

  "What's with that regretful expression on your damned monster face!"

  "Regret? Impossible! How could I have such an expression!" Tatsuya said with a straight face, while simultaneously rubbing his face with both hands in an attempt to cover it up.

  But giving roses leaves fragrance in one's hands; returning a breast cloth also leaves fragrance in one's hands.

  As Chen Yi rubbed his face, he naturally smelled the remaining fragrance on his hands. Under Meihong's surprised expression, Chen Yi put his hand that had grabbed the cloth wrapped around her chest under his nose and sniffed it lightly...

  ……

  ……

  "Ahh!!!! Bastard!!! Go die! Die! Die already!!!!!" Sister Hong completely blew up.

  "Sorry! Sorry! I didn't mean to! Ugh? I'll just go out for a bit!" Watching Mei Hong's fighting strength soar, Chen Yi immediately retreated.

  "But since I'm out here, I might as well clean up these yokai around us." Tatsuyu muttered.

  As soon as Chen Yi saw the doll with cracks in Meihong's hand, he knew that Meihong must have been discovered by a monster and attacked. Otherwise, Meihong would not easily use the doll that could help her resolve a major crisis just for fun.

  Now that Meihong's residence has been discovered, the monsters who are after Meihong due to the threat of her human puppet should all be gathering in a place not far from here preparing for another attack. After all, Meihong's indestructible body is no ordinary temptation for monsters.

  For youkai, as long as they can capture Akane, they won't have to risk being sealed away by powerful humans every day and can hunt down humans freely.

  Let's get moving and clear out those monsters around us! For the sake of the bandages!!!!!

  A gathering place for monsters is nearby.

  A leading oni with a resentful expression: "Damn it! Damn it! Just as I was about to catch that strange girl, why did a powerful oni suddenly appear and interfere?! Damn it!!"

  "Boss, are we still going to catch that girl or what? What if that powerful demon shows up?"

  "Damn it! As a demon, you're helping humans." The leader of the demons cursed.

  The leader of the youkai recalled the alluring scent of flesh and blood emanating from Fujiwara no Mokou, as well as the rumor that her indestructible body would provide an endless supply of human flesh to devour if she were caught. This thought filled his heart with envy.

  "How can I give up so easily!" The leader of the monsters cried out in frustration, "Even if that girl has a powerful monster protecting her, what's the big deal? I don't believe that monster will stay by that girl's side forever. Just send two underlings to lure it away and we'll snatch the girl and hide far, far away - that monster won't be able to find us again!"

  "Old... old big brother, isn't this bad? What if we go and become bait and get killed..."

  "Bastard!" The leader of the demons kicked the demon that was about to speak to one side, "What! Do you have an opinion?!!"

  "Hold on! I have an opinion, sorry about that. I heard everything you said. Here's a proposal: why don't I send all of you to work for the King of Hell? That way, you won't have to worry about food anymore."

  Chen Yi appeared with a cold smile on his face in the place where monsters gathered, scanning the surrounding monsters with his eyes, and finally fixed his gaze on the leader of the monsters.

  "How's my proposal?"

  The leader of the monster that was stared at by Chen Yi had sweat constantly flowing from his head, damn it, how did his aura suddenly become so powerful!

  The current Chen Yi is much stronger than the person he used to be, no wonder the leader of the Youkai felt a lot of pressure when they saw the real Chen Yi.

  "Bastard! Who wants to go see King Yama?! Everyone get up, kill him!"

  The monster leader, who was getting increasingly uneasy under Chen Yi's constant gaze, gave orders to his subordinates.

  "Just kill him! With no one to protect that girl, we can capture her and have all the human meat we want. From now on, we won't have to risk being killed by strong humans to hunt them down!"

  If the first sentence of the leader of the monsters is to make the surrounding monsters involuntarily excited, the next sentence is to give all the monsters on the scene a strong stimulant. It's worth noting that while monsters are hunting humans, they are also being hunted by humans. Now there is an opportunity for them to enjoy human flesh without being hunted, how can they not be excited?

  Seeking death! A fierce aura flashed in Chen Yi's eyes, and with one knife, he cut a demon in half. Then, without stopping, he stabbed another demon through the chest. In an instant, wherever Chen Yi passed, demons' limbs and arms flew about, severed and broken.

  The leader of the monsters saw that Chen Yi was surrounded by many monsters and couldn't get away, so he started to think of other ideas in his heart.

  If I were to go catch that girl now, without Chen Yi's protection, would she still be able to run away...

  Thinking of this, the leader of the monsters began to quietly push out of the siege formation around Chen Yi, slowly retreating. With one eye on the leader of the monsters, Chen Yi naturally noticed the small movement of the leader of the monsters.

  What a hassle! Looking at the surrounding monsters that couldn't be solved all at once, Chen Yi felt helpless. The shortcoming of swordsmanship was its poor group damage ability.

  But even weaknesses can be made up for...

  Several flashes of knife light swept by, clearing away the few demons around him. Chen Yi closed his eyes and placed the Flowing Star Knife at his waist in a drawn position. His vital energy began to concentrate into the weapon, and the small planet of spiritual power at the core of his soul started to quiver with a humming noise.

  Draw sword and cut!!

  Chen Yi's suddenly opened eyes made the demon who saw Chen Yi's eyes feel a huge sense of fear in his heart.

  A tens of meters long sword arc flashed by, if a strong person saw that flash of the sword arc, they would definitely find that the place where the sword arc passed through actually produced a mirror-like light, reflecting the surrounding scene.

  The monsters that were originally shouting suddenly all fell silent.

  Ah!

  A clear and crisp sound, the area within tens of meters around Zhen Yi was split in two, the scene also seemed to be fractured, the upper and lower parts separated by the sword's arc, as if they had become two new scenes!
