Chapter 20: The Girl Waiting for the Beast (20)

He was tossing and turning, unable to sleep. New flesh was gradually growing, and the wounds were painful and itchy, but the discomfort in his heart was worse than the physical pain.

The last time I saw Chu Ying was the last time, and now she's not coming. He asked her not to come. It's her own fault.

Inosuke became even more depressed and had to hold it in. He refused to say anything, not even to Tanjiro and Zenitsu. His food was not delicious and he couldn't sleep for a long time. He finally fell asleep, and at the time when he usually put Aiying to sleep, he automatically

I woke up with a start and sat there in a daze.

"What a sin!" Shanyi beat his chest and stamped his feet.

He saw Inosuke getting more and more depressed, but Inosuke was still not wearing a hood due to his injury. The young man with red lips and white teeth narrowed his eyes and tightened his lips. His sad look was really damn good-looking.

Gan! His parents really gave him a good face!

Zenitsu hated himself for being too soft-hearted and being pitied by Inosuke. When the three little girls chirped in to deliver the medicine, he deliberately raised his voice and asked, "Why haven't you seen Yingying in the past two days?"

Inosuke's ears perked up.

The three little girls were named Qing, Cheng and Naho. Hearing this, Xiao Qing said: "Ao Ying is not in the Butterfly House."

"Then where is she?"

"Going to headquarters."

After the three little ones left, Zenitsu pointed at Inosuke angrily: "Look at the good things you did, and you were so cold-hearted. Now it's better. People are hiding from you and hiding in the headquarters!"

Inosuke stood there with his head lowered and reprimanded Zenitsu. Every time Zenitsu hit a sore point with a sentence, his head dropped a little lower. Zenitsu continued to speak until the end, and suddenly he noticed that the ground was red, and he was shaking.

When Inosuke took a look, he saw him biting his lip as if torturing himself, and even though his mouth was bitten and bleeding, he didn't say a word.

"Hey!!" Shanyi hurriedly found something to wipe him with, "If you don't shout out when you feel uncomfortable, why are you hurting yourself!"

"My throat hurts." Inosuke rubbed his neck and said hoarsely, "I can't scream..."

"Is there no other way to vent?" Zenitsu was angered to death by Inosuke, thus aggravating his injuries.

Aoi Hotaru had no intention of hiding from Inosuke. The reason why she went to the headquarters was because the Butterfly Ninja was going to hold the biannual Pillars Meeting. As the name suggests, all the Pillars gathered together for a meeting.

All the pillars sound like there are many people, but in fact there are only nine. After all, the elite among the elite are only a handful.

Before taking Aoi Hotaru back to Butterfly House, Butterfly Ninja reported it to the Lord of the Demon Slayer Corps at the headquarters. This time when the Lord mentioned Aoi Hotaru, Butterfly Ninja wanted to take her to meet the Lord.

This lord should be a very remarkable person, so that Butterfly Ninja specifically told Ai Ying before leaving: "You must have respect for that Lord."

Her expression was so serious that Ai Ying couldn't help but become serious when she saw it, and said obediently: "I will do it."

The headquarters is really big and shrouded in tranquility and peace.

As soon as Chu Ying arrived, she was surrounded by the pillars. She was indeed a big boss, with a strong aura of calmness and authority. Even her hair was colorful and different.

"It's better to hear once than to see once. She is indeed a very beautiful little girl." Even the forehead protector is inlaid with precious stones, the gorgeous sound pillar Yu Zhuan Tianyuan said.

"Yeah! A very good little girl!" said Yanzhu Purgatory Anjurou with a loud voice and dazzling sun-colored hair.

They were all very friendly, and they didn't act like big shots at all. Ai Ying was not afraid at all. She looked at this and that, and she smiled when she was praised. Just when she was fresh, she suddenly saw the pillars all bowing and kneeling towards the corridor.

She then curtsied and bowed, then quietly raised her head and saw a young man walking from the shadows into the sunlight.

He was a very elegant and gentle man, and his movements had the power to bring peace of mind. Unfortunately, nearly half of his face was ruined by strange scars, and his eyes that should have been bright were also clouded and unable to focus.

The lord, Utsuyashiki Yaoya, should not be able to see anything. At this moment, facing the pillars, he smiled slightly, as if he understood everything in his heart, and said gently: "Bring Aoho, Shinobu."

"Yes." Butterfly Ninja said.

The Lord turned his face in the direction of Chu Ying and said with a smile: "Cui Ying is very powerful. Thanks to you, the children in the team regained their energy in a short period of time."

He is so gentle and listening to him is like a spring breeze.

Chu Ying just wanted to be polite, but his subsequent words made her heart tremble, and she couldn't speak lightly.

"Good boy," the Lord said, "You have suffered a lot here, right? Thank you for your hard work."

This is a kind of tacit understanding that is difficult to explain. He didn't need to explain it, but Chu Ying understood that the "here" in those words did not refer to the "Demon Slayer Squad", but "this world"; she didn't need to say thank you, he

From her brief silence, she could already understand her gratitude for his transparency and thoughtfulness.

"Do you want any reward?" the Lord asked.

Ao Ying thought for a while: "The Demon Slayer uniforms are very nice. Can you make one for me?"

The Lord smiled and said: "What Chu Ying has done is different from the swordsmen but the same outstanding contribution, but the nature is more 'hidden'. I will give you the uniform of Yin and treat you as a member of Yin, okay?"

"

"Yeah."

The lord had already seen him and had new clothes. The content of their next meeting was not something that Chu Ying could hear. She retired with satisfaction. As she left the courtyard, she looked back at her lord for the last time, and suddenly felt a strong regret in her heart.

He was a good man, but his fate was unfair. She could feel that he didn't have much time left.

"God's jealousy is so strong." Chui Ying lowered her eyes and sighed, "Good people never live long."

Ao Ying returned to Butterfly House, fully looking forward to new clothes, and happily took the measurements to the tailor Maeda Masao. Finally, she finally remembered that she had an autistic husband who was lying in a hospital bed.

When Aoi Hotaru arrived, Inosuke was taking a rare opportunity to bask in the sun outside the mansion.

He put on the pig's head again, and the pig's ears drooped listlessly under his influence. He stood there like a piece of pork that had given up treatment and was waiting to be dried.

Suddenly, the pig's ears stood up.

Ao Ying carried the cooked medicine and walked into the yard while humming a song slowly. As soon as she entered, she saw a dark figure rushing into the house. The entrance door immediately slammed shut, and the door frame couldn't help shaking, showing her great strength.

"Inosuke."

Inosuke hid behind the gate, his heart beating wildly, when he heard Aoi Hotaru's voice coming from outside.

She said slowly: "I've seen you."

Inosuke did not answer, and cold sweat broke out on his palms.

Being timid in close relationships, he wanted to see her, but... he really didn't dare. He didn't have the face to do so.

Frustration and guilt were more terrifying than ghosts. If his eyes met with Chu Ying's, his incompetence would be revealed. Thinking of her disappointed eyes, he actually felt that dying in the hands of ghosts would be better.

Inosuke heard Ao Ying say again: "Hurry up and open the door. I'm so tired carrying the plate."

He still didn't answer.

For a moment, the only sound was the sound of the firefly inside and outside the door.

"If you don't open the door, I will ignore you."

"I really ignored you!"

"Kashibashi Tokitou Muichiro is so handsome, I want to be his wife!"

"..."

Finally, Chu Ying stopped talking.

Inosuke knew that she hadn't left, and was just trying to estimate how angry she was when he suddenly heard the sound of a plate falling and a medicine cup breaking. Then he heard Ao Ying cry in a low voice: "Ouch, my hand hurts so much!"

The fragile entrance door was blown away in an instant, and the pig-headed boy rushed out. He jumped over the mess on the ground and rushed straight to Aiying. He took her hand and checked it over and over.

His throat was not healed, and it still hurt like a knife, but he couldn't help but shouted loudly: "Where does it hurt!"

After the panic, I looked carefully and saw that the white and soft hands were in good condition. Where were the injuries?

Realizing that he was being deceived, Inosuke hurriedly tried to escape, but it was too late.

Aoi Ying put her arms around his neck.

Her little strength was not enough to see her. He could break away with a slight effort, but he knew very well that breaking away would lead to death.
