Genichi Hanyu stared at the arrows in shock. "Are you serious?"
While ordinary wisteria poison can indeed harm demons, it's clearly impossible to achieve the effect He Xi described, let alone against Muzan Kibutsuji, a demon king with no weaknesses except for sunlight.
"Ah."
He Xi snorted and arrogantly raised her chin: "Are you questioning the capabilities of the chief scientist of Angel City? Don't you know that I'm in charge of all the technology for Angel City?"
75. Almost Artemisia argyi, Crane Xi, Blue Lycoris radiata
The laboratory lights shone brightly in the deep night, enveloping the entire space in a cool-toned halo.
Genichi Hanyu's gaze was involuntarily drawn to Tsurugi.
Her long, silvery-white hair, like brocade woven from moonlight, swayed gently behind her with her graceful movements, shimmering with a soft, mother-of-pearl-like glow under the lamplight.
Yuzuru suddenly found that his gaze was being drawn by some invisible force, and he could no longer look away from her.
Everything about He Xi in front of him was so attractive, and even her every move made his heart beat faster involuntarily.
"Have you seen enough?"
He Xi suddenly spoke, a faint smile playing on her lips, her voice tinged with a hint of teasing.
Yuzuru then realized that he had been staring at her absentmindedly for a long time and had spoken almost without thinking.
"I'd rather do something else than watch."
He heard his slightly hoarse voice echoing in the quiet laboratory.
He was stunned for a moment after he blurted out those words.
Am I just driven by lust?
Then he suddenly understood what she had done.
The laboratory fell into a brief silence.
Genichi Hanyu took a deep breath and strode towards Tsuruhi, the sound of his leather shoes on the metal floor being particularly clear in the silence.
When he stood in front of her, the distance between them was so close that he could smell the faint fragrance emanating from her.
It was a peculiar, cool fragrance, like cedarwood under the moonlight mixed with the smell of some kind of disinfectant unique to laboratories—cool yet captivating.
"He Xi".
Genichi Hanyu's voice was deep.
"You seduced me first."
His gaze fell on her slightly parted lips, which were tinged with a faint pink.
He Xi was clearly stunned, a hint of surprise flashing in her azure eyes. Could it be that Yu Sheng Genichi had discovered something?
So she looked up at him directly and asked, "Hmm?"
This monosyllabic interrogative word, with its slightly rising final consonant, sounds particularly ambiguous in the confined space.
At that moment, it was as if Sheng Yi was being driven by some irresistible force, no longer able to restrain himself.
Suddenly, he leaned forward and kissed He Xi's lips.
He Xi didn't push him away. Instead, after a brief moment of hesitation, she gently closed her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly like butterfly wings.
This response finally confirmed to Genichi Hanyu that it was something Tsurugi had done that made him feel love and desire for her.
But this time, even though he understood, he didn't really restrain himself.
He wrapped one arm around He Xi's slender waist and the other hand around the back of her neck, kissing her more and more forcefully and greedily, as if he wanted to melt He Xi into this kiss.
He could feel He Xi's breathing become rapid, and her hand, which had been resting against his chest, had somehow climbed onto his shoulder.
Just as the two were about to ignite a passionate flame.
"Wow! Did I arrive at the wrong time?"
A mocking voice suddenly rang out at the laboratory door.
Genichi Hanyu's previously out-of-control rationality returned instantly, and he subsequently released Tsurugi.
He Xi turned her head and saw Liang Bing leaning against the door frame, playing with her long hair with one hand, a mischievous smile on her face and a triumphant glint in her eyes.
He Xi's face instantly turned gloomy.
"Liang Bing!"
She practically spat out the name through gritted teeth, her voice filled with an unusual panic.
Liang Bing paid no attention to He Xi's emotions and slowly walked into the laboratory, her high heels making a crisp sound on the floor.
"I'm just here to pick up some documents. I'm really sorry to bother you."
She deliberately dragged out her tone, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two of them.
"I never expected to see such an explosive scene."
She suddenly leaned close to He Xi, her red lips almost touching her ear.
"The mighty King of the Heavenly Realm actually resorts to such despicable tactics, tsk tsk tsk."
"Shut up!"
A flash of silver light appeared in He Xi's hand, and a long, pure white sword appeared out of thin air, its tip pointing directly at Liang Bing's throat.
"you wanna die!"
Her voice was filled with anger and panic; the plan had failed, and there was almost no chance of a next time.
"He Xi..."
Yu Shengxian was about to say something when He Xi interrupted him: "We'll talk about it later. Right now, I want to deal with that little bitch Liang Bing!"
He Xi's voice rose eight octaves, but her words carried an unusual mix of panic and anger, and the sword in her hand even trembled slightly due to her emotional turmoil.
Yuzuru Genichi glanced at Tsuruhi before leaving.
As the door closed, He Xi could still hear roaring at Liang Bing: "You did this on purpose, didn't you? Liang Bing, you little bitch, I'm not done with you yet."
As soon as the door closed, the sounds of fierce fighting came from inside.
Accompanied by the clatter of experimental equipment falling to the ground, Liang Bing exclaimed in exaggerated surprise, "Hey, are you serious?"
Genichi Yuzuru hesitated for a moment outside the door, his fingers unconsciously caressing the lips where he had just kissed Tsuruhi, where her cool aura and soft touch still seemed to linger.
"Tsk, what a pity."
I don't know what Genichi Hanyu is regretting.
In the corridor, Genichi Hanyu shook his head with a wry smile, deciding to go find Tanjiro Kamado first to complete his original mission.
……
With information about the Demon Slayer Corps, Genichi Habu finally found Tanjiro Kamado chopping wood on a mountain.
The boy was wearing that familiar green and black checkered haori, and the flame-shaped scar on his forehead was particularly conspicuous in the sunlight.
"This gentleman?"
Tanjiro Kamado was startled by the sudden appearance of Genichi Hanyu and took a half step back, his nose twitching slightly as if he were sniffing something.
Why did you suddenly appear?
He asked with a mixture of wariness and politeness, his other hand already instinctively gripping the axe handle tightly.
Genichi Hanyu gave a friendly smile: "You are Tanjiro Kamado, right? I need your help, and of course I will pay you accordingly."
He stated his purpose directly, while showing his empty hands to indicate that he was harmless.
Tanjiro Kamado paused for a moment, then firmly shook his head and refused: "Forget about the reward, sir. Is there anything I can help you with?"
His voice carried the sincerity and enthusiasm unique to young people, and his eyes were clear and bright.
"Blue Bana."
Genichi Hanyu explained, "It's a special flower that only blooms under the blazing sun."
Upon hearing this, Tanjiro Kamado closed his eyes and thought carefully: "I have indeed seen that kind of flower before..."
His brows gradually furrowed.
“This flower used to be very common, and sometimes my family and I would use it to fill our stomachs. But now, due to various industrial reforms and forest development, we haven’t seen it for a long time.”
Tanjiro Kamado said apologetically to Genichi Habu.
Genichi Hanyu took a deep breath, filling his lungs with the cool mountain air: "Could you take me to the place where you once saw that kind of flower? Even if there's only a sliver of hope."
Tanjiro Kamado suddenly perked up, "No problem, I'll take you there right away!"
He readily agreed, and so, led by Tanjiro Kamado, the two began their journey to find the Blue Spider Lily.
They walked through a dark primeval forest, where sunlight was filtered through the dense canopy, casting dappled patterns on the path covered with fallen leaves.
Tanjiro Kamado walked with light and steady steps, stopping from time to time to check his direction.
After half a day of trekking, they finally arrived at a wide-open space surrounded by mountains.
This place seems to be isolated from the world. In the center is a small, calm pool of water, as clear as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.
At the edge of the pool, several unusual plants were slowly unfurling their petals under the blazing afternoon sun.
"This is it."
Tanjiro Kamado pointed to a protruding rock in the center of the pool, his voice filled with nostalgia.
“Those blue flowers used to grow a lot here, but with industrial reforms and environmental pollution, I haven’t seen them for a long time.”
Tanjiro Kamado's gaze suddenly fixed on the crevice between the rocks.
"Wait, that's..."
Following Tanjiro Kamado's guidance, Genichi Hanyu saw a slender vine stubbornly growing out of a crack in the rock, with a flower bud hanging on the vine, its color a dreamy blue in the sunlight.
"That is the flower you are looking for."
Tanjiro Kamado exclaimed with delight, "I never expected to see it bloom again after all these years!"
As Genichi Hanyu gazed at the blue spider lily about to bloom, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
Under the sunlight, fine golden patterns appeared on the surface of the flower buds, which trembled slightly as if they had been infused with life.
"Thank you, Tanjiro."
Genichi Hanyu took out some money and an exquisite glass bottle from his pocket. "This is your reward. Please accept it. I think your family will need this money to improve their lives. You must not refuse. To me, finding this flower is worth far more than this money."
He handed the money, along with the bottle containing the purple liquid, to Tanjiro Kamado.
"what is this?"
After hesitating, Tanjiro Kamado accepted it.
He carefully held the bottle in his hands and asked Genichi Hanyu a question.
"A specially made wisteria venom that can ward off evil spirits."
Genichi Hanyu explained, "If you sprinkle it around the house, ordinary ghosts won't dare to come near."
He paused and added, "Don't worry, it's harmless to humans."
Tanjiro Kamado nodded solemnly: "Yes, thank you very much for your generosity, sir."
He hesitated for a moment, then put the bottle into his pocket.
He could tell from the smell that Genichi Hanyu was not a bad person, which was why he was willing to lead the way.
Genichi Hanyu smiled and nodded in acknowledgment, then drew his wand from his sleeve.
With a gentle wave of his hand, accompanied by a flash of silver light, the entire vine, along with the rock it was rooted in, was completely cut off and floated in the air.
To Tanjiro's astonishment, Genichi Hanyu and the blue spider lily vanished into thin air, leaving only a few fallen leaves swirling in place.
Tanjiro stood there stunned for a moment, then bowed deeply to the empty lakeside before turning and embarking on his journey home.
He had a vague feeling that the mysterious man taking the blue spider lily might change something.
But in any case, Tanjiro Kamado believed in his own judgment.
There was no evil aura emanating from that person.
The attack by the 76th Lower Moon Demon, the opportunity to completely eliminate the demons.
