Demon Capital Slayer

Chapter 139 Excellent Midnight Snack
Huhu——

With the sound of fabric rubbing together, Lily tied on her apron without a care.

To be honest, the apron painted with pink 'fierce' felines didn't match the elegant dress, but it inexplicably suited the 'majestic' aura the girl was exuding at that moment.

The kitchen had become the sacred space of the Bodhisattva Aizen.

Yu Jian leaned against the door frame, watching Bai He Xiang busy in the kitchen, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face.

He naturally had no intention of shirking his responsibilities or refusing to help, but as soon as he reached out, he was glared at fiercely by Yurika and questioned whether he was underestimating her feminine strength. Then, he pushed and shoved Yujian out of the kitchen.

"So, the wise ruler only went out for a day and met a new, beautiful older sister?"

Is this the main point...?

Yu Jian was speechless. He had just recounted his day's events in detail, and it turned out that Yuriko was only interested in this? Was that right?
Lily didn't turn around, but she could almost see the bewildered look on his face. She then chuckled and said, "Just kidding."

"But is that senior trustworthy?" Lily Fragrance deftly sliced ​​various ingredients with a kitchen knife, her tone calm yet incisive.

"My intuition tells me that the other person is a good person." Yu Jian didn't spout any grand theories or present any evidence; he simply and clearly stated his opinion.

"Since that's the case, let's trust him this once for now." With that, Aizen Yurika pushed the chopped ingredients into the pot, and steam rose up, temporarily obscuring the girl's superhuman beauty.

At this moment, she wasn't wearing those unfashionable glasses, and her long, smooth hair reached her waist. She should have been captivating, but the apron she was wearing greatly reduced that unusual air, revealing a friendly, girl-next-door charm.

As Yu Jian watched, he suddenly felt a sense of peace settle in his heart.

The faint sounds that had been around him faded away on their own, and he leaned against the wall, falling into a meditative state, even snoring softly.

If this were a comedy comic, he would probably blow a snot bubble right now, its size fluctuating with his breath.

After waiting for a while without receiving a response, Lily turned around to look.

The firelight from the stove cast a slight blush on her face, and when she saw Yu Jian's current appearance, she couldn't help but show a look of amusement and exasperation.

The flawless smile, like a mask, faded from Aizen Yurika's face, replaced by a strange yet genuine smugness that was neither a smile nor a smile.

Even though the white-haired boy looked tired as he leaned against the door frame, he still showed no signs of being disheveled. From his facial features to his posture, everything about him was flawless, as if the goddess Nuwa had painstakingly created his masterpiece over nine days and ten nights.

But that slight snoring sound instantly brought him down from the untouchable heavens to the mortal realm, making Lily unable to resist teasing him.

Holding the freshly cooked Five Eyes Fried Rice, she brought the steaming plate close to Yujian's nose, then slowly walked backwards towards the restaurant.

And so, the fragrance of lilies lured people to the dining table.

After she sat down, she discovered that the other person was still in a semi-conscious state.

"Thank you for your hard work." Aizen Yurika said softly, then immediately became playful and grabbed a spoon to start playing with people.

What is Mitsurugi doing, completely unaware of this?

He is solving the problem.

"Hmph." Yu Jian made a knowing sound.

After entering the consciousness space through meditation, he understood why he had heard seductive voices about 'killing' and 'destruction'.

The sky shifted, and most of the dragon's body, representing all things in the universe, was hidden among the floating clouds and the vast sky, revealing only its head, composed of night and stars, chewing on the image of a 'dragon-slaying hero' between its teeth.

Yu Jian could sense that much of this powerful image had been digested. Thanks to it, the invisible dragon scales became increasingly indestructible, and the enhancement brought by the dragon's power continued to rise. Even the deep core of the hero image was gradually revealed.

He is not just a hero; he has another meaning.

In other words, the dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon. The dragon corpse trampled by the statue is merely a shed old body; the true world-destroying evil dragon is opening its vertical pupils from its increasingly dilapidated appearance, much like Sauron, the villain in "The King of Fighters," who loves to stir up trouble, peering outwards with those fiery vertical pupils, always wanting to break through the blockade and regain supreme power.

Then, the dragon of all things began to chew on the creature vigorously.

The three thousand dragon teeth, formed from all things in heaven and earth, interlocked, stronger than a cage and more ferocious than torture instruments. Their burning vertical pupils trembled violently, and their mournful cries shook the sky in an instant.

The dragon represented by the world-destroying dragon is clearly not the same kind of existence as the dragon of all things in the universe. At most, they may be similar in appearance and name, but their positioning is significantly different, just like Eastern and Western cultures.

So, this dragon is not that dragon, and eating it is no problem at all!
The auditory hallucinations that Yujian had heard earlier also stemmed from this.

"This is really disturbing the peace." The white-haired boy shook his head helplessly.

Having crossed life and death countless times in the dream of Asura, he possesses an extremely strong will and will naturally not be swayed by such distracting noises.

But it's really noisy!

It seems I need to be mindful of my mental and physical well-being during this period to avoid getting overheated.

Perhaps, making some mung bean soup and herbal tea would be a good choice; if you have too much internal heat, you should drink something cooling.

In addition to this, Yujian gained another benefit this time.

Upon seeing the primitive man wielding a spear, the boy couldn't help but recall the contents of the Immortal Art: Myriad Manifestations.

The Celestial Art: Myriad Manifestations was currently devouring the World-Destroying Dragon, clearly having no time to digest the second image.

But leaving it unattended is not an option either. Although the image of the stone thrower is primitive in appearance and its ability is very simple, just aiming and launching, it is precisely because it is primitive and ancient that Yujian always felt that this image could be combined to create something quite extraordinary.

In short, the future looks promising.

So, how do we contain the imagery that the immortal techniques haven't yet absorbed?

The dragon, representing all things in the universe, extended its claws downwards, and as if divinely ordained, it retrieved relevant information from the ancient texts integrated into its mind.

It wasn't some obscure ancient text, but rather a recombination of various pieces of information from his memory into something comprehensible. In a sense, this also reflects the characteristic of immortal techniques being as gentle as water.

When first cultivating the Hidden Scales and Hidden Colors - Immortal Technique: Myriad Manifestations, one can only devour and digest one image at a time. However, the scales on one's body have the function of storing images, which can keep the images from dissipating and can also temporarily call upon their power, although the number that can be called upon each time is limited.

With his current beginner level of sword mastery, aside from the power gained after digestion, he can only temporarily utilize one ability.

Fortunately, he only had one image in his mind to begin with.

Watching the all-encompassing dragon stuff the bewildered primitive man, the 'Stone Thrower,' into the gaps between its scales, Yujian felt that the scene looked rather strange.

However, he didn't have any senior disciples or fellow students to ask, so he just kept learning as he went along. Anyway, so far there weren't any parts he couldn't understand at all.

At most, the progress is just a bit slow.

Is it slow?

I haven't encountered many cultivators while using the sword, so I can't determine whether my progress is fast or slow for now. Let's leave it at that for now.

While pondering, he ended his meditation on his sword and exited the space of consciousness.

Then, Lily Fragrance brought the spoon to her lips.

A line immediately came to mind: "Lily Fragrance can become me..."

Shut up, Char!
