Li Yunqing thought for a moment and decided not to worry about their little quirks. "Next time, you can choose the world. Just let me know once you've made a decision."
"Really?" Sera and Lilu Lu looked at Li Yunqing with excitement.
Li Yunqing smiled and gently touched their faces. "Of course it's true. A promise is a promise."
"That's great!" Sera and Lilu Lu clapped their hands and hugged Li Yunqing, each giving him a kiss.
"Thank you, darling!"
"You're welcome."
Li Yunqing had always struggled with making choices. When he picked Demon Slayer, it was simply because he saw it ranked first on the homepage. When unsure of what to choose, he figured it was best to go with the top option. Now that Sera and Lilu Lu were willing to help him choose, it couldn't be better.
A few days passed just like that. During this time, Sera and Lilu Lu had friendly sparring sessions with the Hashira. Aside from the Wind Pillar, they spent the most time battling Kanroji Mitsuri. It wasn't that Kanroji Mitsuri was stronger than the others; rather, Sera and Lilu Lu discovered that her strength was greater, so they held back and fought her evenly until she was too exhausted to continue.
Meanwhile, Ma Yi and Zhi Ye stayed at home, captivated by the TV dramas Li Yunqing had created. The bizarre events and strange occurrences thrilled them while also giving them a bit of a scare, but they still enjoyed watching.
As for Li Yunqing, he often visited Butterfly House. On one hand, he wanted to get closer to Shinobu Kocho and see if there were any opportunities. On the other hand, since Sera and Lilu Lu were sparring with the Hashira without holding back, it often resulted in injuries for them. The Hashira weren't pleased when they realized they were being taken lightly but couldn't help but get hurt in the process.
Naturally, those who were injured would come to Butterfly House for treatment, and Li Yunqing would take the opportunity to apologize since it was his women who had caused the injuries.
Li Yunqing and Shinobu Kocho often discussed various medical knowledge, as well as information regarding demons. These topics were of particular interest to Shinobu, and after several days of conversation, their relationship had improved significantly, though they remained friends.
"You have too much wisteria toxin in your body; it’s affecting your health," Li Yunqing said to Shinobu.
At that moment, Shinobu appeared relatively normal, though her skin was excessively pale, almost ghostly, with just a hint of pink blush on her cheeks. Her lips had turned a deep shade of purple, masked only by lipstick, and even her once-black eyes were gradually shifting to a purplish hue.
Shinobu was both surprised and unsurprised that Li Yunqing knew about the wisteria toxin within her. Given his abilities, it was clear he could discern such things; it was merely a matter of how closely he observed her. Even though she understood that Li Yunqing could potentially defeat the demon king responsible for her sister's death—the Upper Moon demon—she still harbored resentment. Moreover, this toxin had no known antidote.
She withdrew her gaze from Li Yunqing and fiddled with the test tube in her hand. Over the past few days, Li Yunqing had come to understand Shinobu quite well. She had devoted herself entirely to the mission of killing the demon that had slain her sister. Her body was saturated with wisteria toxin—her blood and bone marrow were filled with it. She had researched the demon and knew it preyed on women, particularly beautiful ones. Aware of her own beauty, she accepted the grim reality that she could easily become its next victim.
Li Yunqing gently stroked Shinobu's head, feeling a pang of sympathy for her. "I can help you remove the toxin."
"Huh?" Shinobu turned to look at him, still feeling the warmth of his large hand on her head.
"How is that possible? The toxin has penetrated deep into my bone marrow!" she exclaimed, a mix of excitement and disbelief washing over her.
Her reaction wasn't solely due to Li Yunqing's offer to help; it was also because she couldn't fathom that the toxin could actually be removed.
Does this mean that the ghost can also remove toxins?
