At that moment, everything made sense. So Gyokko had known and failed to report it, which was why he had ended up dead, without even a chance at reincarnation!
"What are you thinking, Daki?" Doma turned his head and said to her with a smile, "How could Lord Gyokko possibly have the skill to paint this? That man named Su Chen painted it."
"Su Chen?" Daki froze.
No wonder Lord Muzan had been trying so hard to capture Su Chen.
So it was because of the Blue Spider Lily!
Now Daki could actually understand somewhat why Muzan had vented his anger over Su Chen's escape by killing Upper Ranks Four, Five, and Six...
Su Chen's value was greater than that of all the Upper Ranks combined!
Suddenly, a broad, large hand came to rest on Daki's shoulder.
The pressure from that hand instantly soaked Daki's clothes with sweat.
Gyutaro had wanted to rush out to protect his sister, but that same hand pinned him down, leaving him unable to move!
"Oh my, Lord Muzan gave me an absolute order. I would have been in quite a bit of trouble if I couldn't find this drawing. Fortunately, I'm safe now."
His voice lingered in her ears like a demonic melody. His tone was clearly gentle, yet his words conveyed the utmost cruelty.
Doma leaned close to her ear. "Then, Daki, have you completed your task?"
"...Understood." Daki kept her head deeply bowed as she said, "Understood. We'll go once it's dark."
"Good." Doma smiled, turned away, and paid the two demons no further attention.
Gradually, night fell.
After Daki and Hantengu went out, Doma picked up the drawing and found himself staring absently at the Spider Lily Su Chen had drawn.
"We should have fled when we heard the music!"
