A Portrait of a Beauty Sighing

The children carried Yuxian back to his room and threw him onto the bed.

"Master is so heavy!"

"What do we do now? Mash didn't say what to do next."

"Let's stay here and guard this place. We absolutely cannot let our Master be taken away."

The children nodded, agreeing with the decision.

"What happened to Master? Was he ambushed by Shuten?"

Minamoto no Raikō rushed in, her face filled with anger, and wanted to go to the bedside to check on Yuxian's condition.

The children, who had just decided to protect Yuxian, immediately lined up and blocked her way.

"Don't come any closer!"

Little Jeanne Minamoto no Raikō very seriously, "No one is allowed to touch the Master now."

Minamoto no Raikō was stopped by Little Jeanne and reached out to pull her into his arms.

"What an adorable child."

Little Jeanne struggled incessantly, crying out, "Oh dear! Even if you do this, I will not give in!"

No matter what Minamoto no Raikō said, the children wouldn't budge until Mash came in again and pulled her away.

The children breathed a sigh of relief and praised Little Jeanne.

They greatly admired this spirit of sacrificing oneself to protect Master.

The next day, Yuxian woke up with a headache.

You really can't relax at all. I thought that just tasting a little wine wouldn't be a problem, but I still fell for Shuten's trick.

Seeing that he was still in his own room after waking up, Yuxian asked, "How did I get back yesterday?"

"We received information from Mash and went to retrieve our Master."

The children eagerly sought credit from Yuxian, expressing how hard they had worked and how diligently they had protected their Master.

After listening to the children's stories, Yuxian roughly understood what had happened last night.

I shook my head inwardly; it seemed I couldn't stay in this place any longer.

If this continues, a major war will break out sooner or later.

We need to leave here as soon as possible.

The opportunity soon arrived, and just as he was Yuxian pondering what excuse to come up with, the Demon Slayer Corps received a new mission.

The messenger crow brought news that they need to find a girl to carry out a mission in the Red-light District.

Uzui Tengen's wife has lost contact, so he wants to find a girl to infiltrate the Red-light District in order to find out the truth.

Just then, Kocho Shinobu sent the news that she had found her sister back, and the task fell to them this time.

Yuxian thought, Yu Xian said, "Let's go together!"

He was just looking for an excuse, so he took this opportunity to leave and find something to do to avoid being caught in the middle.

"Let's go too!"

Others asked to join them.

How could Yuxian let them go together? He was leaving precisely to avoid them.

"No, Mash and I can go this time."

Yuxian's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the crowd.

"Let's draw lots!"

They were dissatisfied that only Mash went with them and hoped to decide the right to accompany Yuxian in a fairer way.

"We don't want to draw lots, we want to go with Master!"

The children wouldn't allow it; they didn't care about rules, they just wanted to go.

But this time Yuxian wouldn't let them accompany her; they went to the Red-light District, a place filled with filth and unbearable reality.

"That kind of place is not suitable for children. You all stay here obediently this time."

The red -Fireworks Red-light District, as the name suggests, is a place of pleasure. It's not that Yuxian didn't want to take them, but that it really wasn't a suitable place for children.

Chapter 30, Section 343: A Beauty's Sigh

Okita-san wins big!

The draw is over, Okita Souji has unexpectedly won!

Whether there will be a result of a power struggle among various parties Yuxian to be seen.

But that's fine, Mash can stay and take care of the children.

Aside from Yuxian, Mash is the only one who can barely keep these kids in check; otherwise, they would be capable of anything.

Moreover, Okita Souji is the most worry-free person here besides Mash, which is very helpful for Yuxian to go out and relax.

A great draw!

Yuxian thought to himself.

Yuxian and Soji quickly said goodbye to everyone and set off with the Demon Slayer Corps.

Although the children grumbled sullenly, they still said goodbye to Yuxian properly.

This time, Yuxian finally hardened his heart and didn't soften his stance again.

It's best to keep them away from places like the red-light Red-light District; he would never take the children there unless absolutely necessary.

After meeting with Uzui Tengen near the Red-light District, Yuxian and his group learned about the mission.

Uzui Tengen's three wives were infiltrating the Red-light District to gather intelligence, but they have recently lost contact with him, which makes Uzui Tengen very anxious.

He was convinced that there must be evil spirits at work, otherwise, given the strength of his three wives, it was impossible that they couldn't even pass on the information.

Uzui Tengen and his three wives are all ninjas with expertise in intelligence. This time, his wives might be in danger, so in desperation, he sought help from Kocho Shinobu.

It is very rare for Pillars to ask each other for help, since everyone has their own tasks to do, and a single Pillar is usually enough to deal with most demons.

"We'll have someone disguise themselves and sneak into the Red-light District first."

Uzui Tengen offered his suggestion.

He turned his attention to the Kocho Shinobu sisters and Soji; clearly, of everyone present, the three of them were the most suitable for the job.

"No, no!" Soji waved his hands repeatedly, saying that making her dress up as Red-light District girl would be the death of her.

Moreover, if such scandalous information were to be exposed in the future, wouldn't the other members of Chaldea laugh themselves to death?

Okita Souji shook his head vigorously, resolutely disagreeing with disguising himself to infiltrate.

She'd rather bring Kaga Kiyomitsu inside and fight her way in and out seven times than do that.

Kanae smiled and seemed easy to talk to, but she uttered two words softly, "No."

Although the tone was gentle, the attitude behind it was exceptionally firm.

Kocho Shinobu naturally wouldn't agree, making it difficult for the plan to proceed.

However, this did not stump Uzui Tengen. Seeing that the three disagreed, he quickly turned his attention to the other three.

Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inosuke Hashibira.

"We... we can't do it, can we..."

Tanjiro's eyes widened. They were men, how did they manage to sneak in?

"Don't worry, my disguise skills will allow you to blend in easily. There's nothing to worry about."

"I have a plan," said Uzui Tengen confidently.

Tanjiro and his two companions had no right to refuse. As Demon Slayer Corps, they could only swallow their pride and agree to the Pillars' demands.

As expected, after Uzui Tengen's makeup, the three of them looked completely different and were unrecognizable.

It must be said that such skill is truly an art form.

Nezuko circled around Tanjiro, blinking her big eyes. Her brother looked so different; she almost didn't recognize him.

"I'll lead them in first, and you guys wait on the outside for an opportunity to strike."

After agreeing on a secret code with everyone, Uzui Tengen hurriedly led the three away.

The population of Red-light District is very diverse, and the disappearance of one or two people would hardly attract any attention.

Moreover, prostitutes often escape from here, making it even more difficult to tell whether they have truly run away or have been eaten by ghosts.

This place is a perfect hiding place for evil spirits.

Uzui Tengen easily sold Tanjiro and his two companions to the three largest brothels in the area, essentially giving them away for free.

For the owners here, even if these 'young girls' can't serve customers, using them for odd jobs is a sure-fire way to make money.

Yuxian and the others found a place not far away and waited patiently for news from Tanjiro and the others.

This place is neither too far nor too close to the center of the Red-light District, just right to provide support to Tanjiro and his companions without attracting the attention of the demons.

They didn't wander around; they stayed quietly in their rooms waiting for news.

Life seemed to return to normal all of a sudden, Yuxian I lay comfortably in bed, gently shaking my legs.

"Master, you need to be aware of the urgency. Tanjiro will send messages at any time, and we need to go to their aid immediately."

Okita Souji was worried about Yuxian's actions, believing that he had become too complacent.

"Relax, relax!"

Yuxian said casually, "There are three Pillars here, plus you, Soji. We can even fight Upper Rank One. You'll be fine."

Although the demon hiding in the Red-light District was also an Upper Moon demon, it was only Upper Rank Six, which was not enough to make Yuxian pay too much attention to it.

He can finally rest here for a while. It's rare for him to be left alone, so he naturally wants to relax.

Okita Souji had no choice but to carefully wipe and maintain her long sword.

Yuxian so relaxed, so she could only be more vigilant.

In the nameless town, at Kiyohime's mansion.

Tamamo no Mae and Kiyohime sat side by side under the eaves, the vibrant wisteria blossoms in the courtyard enhancing the scenery.

A very pleasing picture of a beautiful woman sitting quietly.

If it weren't for the fact that both beauties were frowning.

"Well..."

Tamamo no Mae sighed softly, "What should we do now? Little Tamamo is so troubled."

Kiyohime asked, "Didn't you tell me in the story that when you meet someone you like, you should try your best to win them over, get close to them, cater to them gently, and hold them in your hands and never let go? Why can't you do that now?"

Kiyohime and Tamamo no Mae were pen pals, exchanging letters and discussing these issues with each other.

"Aren't you the same?"

Tamamo no Mae Kiyohime and said, "You told me to hold on to him tightly, not to leave him for a moment, and not to relax my grip at all."

"Why did they run away now?"

The two sat together, lamenting their own fate. They were usually quite capable, but now that they had caused trouble, they were cowardly hiding away like ostriches.

The two, who had just had a fight, are now acting like very good friends, sitting together comforting and warming each other.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to resist him again if I see him..."
