Chapter 342 How much money can you rob a poor person?

If you smell blood after dark, in other worlds it might mean a murder has occurred, but in the world of Demon Slayer, there's a more than 90% chance it's a demon eating people.

'Encountering demons on my very first night in this world—is this the world retaliating against my intrusion? Or are the demons of this era truly so unrestrained?'

'No, this world is incomplete; it could not possibly give rise to a world will, and its status is far inferior to Mother Earth. It could not possibly detect my intrusion!'

'So, this means that because Yoriichi Tsugikuni hadn't yet passed on his Breathing Techniques to the Demon Slayer Corps in this era, demons weren't afraid of their whereabouts being exposed and could eat people without any scruples?'

'There might also be deliberate indulgence from those in power behind the scenes.'

After all, this is Kyoto, the capital of the island nation. Even though it is currently the Warring States period, ordinary demons cannot possibly stand against a human army.

Except for Muzan Kibutsuji, but he is not in Kyoto right now.

Qian Chen opened the system map, and the red dot representing Muzan was indeed still in the Edo region. Although it had moved slightly, it was now farther away from him.

The yellow dot representing Yoriichi Tsugikuni's position didn't change much, and it even got closer because of Qian Chen's movement.

Zoom in on the map details further, narrowing the area to a radius of one kilometer around where you are.

'As expected, the appearance of evil spirits here is truly a result of the higher-ups deliberately condoning it!'

On this detailed map covering an area of ​​one kilometer, there are two gray dots representing ordinary evil spirits.

One of them is located next to Qian Chen's room, and the other is located in the General's Mansion's Sky Keep.

Qian Chen didn't have time to guess whether the second ghost was the Shogun himself or one of his relatives.

Upon seeing a gray dot of light next to his own, he turned to face the haunted room, remaining vigilant against the evil spirit breaking through the wall.

Pfft, pfft...

Perhaps Qian Chenjing felt it was too early; the evil spirit had just killed someone and was only now beginning to eat, the sound of it tearing at raw flesh and blood was terrifying.

Even so, Qian Chen did not choose to take the initiative.

The people being eaten are from an island nation, what business is it of his?

If the evil spirit could eat its fill and leave, that would be best; he wasn't ready to fight it right now.

But as the saying goes, events rarely unfold in the direction people hope for.

After the evil spirit finished eating the unlucky guy next door, it began to move.

Without resorting to hardcore tactics like breaking down the wall, the ghost obediently left through the main entrance of the room and then came to Qian Chen's room from the corridor.

Qian Chen's body rotated with the movement of the evil spirit, always maintaining a posture facing the evil spirit.

Knock knock, a knock sounded on the door.

"Lord Susanoo, are you already asleep?"

It wasn't a man's voice, but a very soft and beautiful woman's voice.

Qian Chen tightened his grip on the knife, and calmly replied, "Who are you? What do you want?"

“I am the shopkeeper’s daughter, named Noriko. I have been sent by my father to serve Lord Susanoo.”

As the voice spoke, the sliding door to the room was slowly opened.

The bright moonlight streamed in through the window; it was a beautiful full moon night. Bathed in its silvery glow, a lovely and charming young girl knelt outside the door.

She has a delicate and adorable baby face, and her snow-white skin is tender and smooth, seemingly fragile enough to break at a touch.

She has a petite figure, probably only 1.5 meters tall, but she is very healthy and full-figured, with curves in the right places and slimness in the right places.

Wearing a loose-fitting, petal-patterned yukata over her clothes, the way she half-covered herself was alluring and captivating, especially for a virgin like Qian Chen who had never been with a woman.

Moreover, there was no blood on her clothes, as if she wasn't the one who had been eating people next door.

A faint scent of cosmetics wafted over the stench of blood from next door, causing Qian Chen's eyes to involuntarily become slightly unfocused.

Instantly, his grip on the knife tightened again, and he slowly took a step back to create more distance for his reaction, silently repeating to himself:

"Lust is a dangerous thing; this is the real world of Demon Slayer, not hentai! I'll be eaten! Don't have any unrealistic fantasies!"

Qian Chen stared intently at the girl, forcing a soft laugh, "No need. You look only 14 or 15? I prefer older women..."

"Does Lord Susanoo prefer older men?"

The female demon, who called herself Noriko, asked a question, while her body began to grow larger, more mature, and more alluring.

Qian Chen swallowed hard. To be honest, if it weren't for the possibility of being eaten, he wouldn't mind going to Wushan with this female ghost.

"Lord Susanoo, is this what you like?" Noriko pressed her right hand against her chest. "I can get even bigger!"

Qian Chen pursed his lips. "If you're willing to promise Muzan Kibutsuji that you won't eat me, it's not something I can't consider."

"No problem, Noriko can swear to the heavens that she will absolutely not eat Lord Susanoo!"

Noriko stretched out her arms as if to embrace.

"Lord Susanoo, come here. Kiko has already made her promise, so what is there to worry about?"

However, Qian Chen stood there motionless like a stake, while all the muscles in his body became increasingly tense.

"You're making a mistake. I'm talking about Muzan Kibutsuji, not the heavens!"

"Is there any difference?" Kiko feigned innocence. "Didn't Kiko already make a promise?"

However, Qian Chen still shook his head and took another step back.

The prolonged and fruitless negotiations seemed to have completely exhausted Kinoe's patience.

"I already told you! Didn't I make a promise?! So come here now!!!"

With an angry roar, Ji Zi suddenly sprang up and pounced on Qian Chenhu with a speed even faster than a black bear.

Qian Chen, who was prepared, dodged to the side, avoiding the female ghost's attack, and casually laid the knife horizontally.

puff!

The unique sensation of a sharp blade cutting through flesh, the spray of blood—it was all done simply by using the female ghost's own power to deliver a fatal blow.

But such a severe injury, which would be fatal to a human, is insignificant to a ghost.

Moreover, Qian Chen himself had never received professional knife training and was not very clear about the effect of a knife on human bones, so his greatsword got stuck directly in the middle of the female ghost's ribs.

He tried to draw his sword, but the female ghost grabbed the blade with her hand, preventing him from pulling it back.

"It hurts so much! Lord Susanoo is so cruel! He almost cut my body in two with one stroke. It really hurts..."
