The lower-level demon suddenly became like a bullied little girl, crouching on the ground with her hands covering her head and sobbing.
"Okay, okay, don't cry."
A hand gently patted Lingyuzi's back to help her catch her breath.
"Waaaaaahh ...
But Lingyuko, who had been comforted, cried even more bitterly.
The sobbing turned into wailing.
Anyone with experience raising children knows that if you ignore a crying child, they will usually calm down quickly.
However, if someone tries to comfort them, the more they try to soothe them, the more upset they become.
Chapter 193 I Need Emergency Syrup
Fortunately, Lingyu is not a real child after all. Although her mindset is still that of a child, she has been a ghost for decades and still has a certain ability to regulate her emotions.
After releasing some of her fear through crying, she gradually calmed down.
The wailing turned into slow sobs.
The hand that had been gently patting her back to help her catch her breath stopped, and a clean handkerchief was handed to Ling Yuzi from behind.
"Your face is all dirty, you look like a cat with a dirty face. Use this to wipe it off."
"Um, thank you..."
Ling Yuzi responded sullenly.
She took the handkerchief, wiped her face haphazardly, and was about to return it when she suddenly froze in place.
There were only seven ghosts around Sunrise Mountain, including myself.
Six of them had already been hung on the tree by that terrifying demon hunter.
Besides, ghosts are all competitors. If they see you crying, they'd just say something sarcastic, not offer such gentle comfort.
and,
The sound just now,
It sounds familiar.
It seems like I just heard about this not long ago...
As if she had just thought of something, Ling Yuzi suddenly shuddered.
Then my body started shaking uncontrollably, like a washing machine with rusty parts.
She slowly turned her head and looked behind her.
It moved as slowly as an old machine that hadn't been lubricated.
"Yo! We meet again, Lower Moon Six."
Are you waiting for me here?
——！！？
The moment Lingyu saw Xia Yan with a gentle smile on his face, the through hole instantly shrank to the size of a pinhole.
The cute smiling face was distorted by fear, looking slightly ferocious.
"Gah-"
The next second, her eyes rolled back suddenly, she couldn't catch her breath, and lay stiffly on the ground.
"Ah?"
Xia Yan tilted his head in confusion.
With the help of his Byakugan and the Transparent World, he could clearly see that the vital signs of the little ghost in front of him were still stable.
and so……
"She is..."
"She fainted from fright!?"
Seeing Lower Moon Six faint from fright simply because he appeared behind him, Natsuhiko had a look of both amusement and exasperation on his face.
He thought that his predecessor, Lower Moon Six, Byoyo, who died at his hands, was already cowardly enough, but he didn't expect that this new Lower Moon Six would be even more cowardly than Byoyo.
No wonder Muzan was so angry.
If I were the Ghost King, and I knew I had such a disgraceful creature under my command, I would have slapped her to death long ago.
Muzan actually let her live for so long, and she even became one of the Twelve Demon Moons.
It seems I've been misunderstanding Muzan all along.
He's not just a scoundrel, he's practically soft-hearted to an extreme degree.
While inwardly cursing Muzan, Xia Yan patted Ling Yuzi's pale face twice with the blade of his sword.
Seeing no reaction, he stabbed her twice more in the chest.
The bright red kimono became even darker in color after being soaked in blood.
Lingyu's eyelids trembled slightly in response to the external stimulus.
next second.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Yuzi reacted entirely instinctively.
Open eyes, roll over, get up, and run away.
The series of movements were performed in one go, as if after hundreds of rehearsals, muscle memory had been completely integrated into the body's instincts.
"Ha, interesting...so interesting!"
Seeing her amusing reaction, Xia Yan's eyes practically lit up.
In the past two years, at least five hundred ghosts have died at his hands.
Among them, he had seen quite a few ghosts of all kinds, and at least two or three hundred of them had chosen to run away out of fear.
After all, according to his habits, he usually only kills someone after he's had his fill of playing with them.
Generally, you give your opponent time to escape.
Putting aside everything else, the character Suzamaru, who was beaten up by him and then ran away after realizing the vast difference in strength, is a typical example of this.
The former Upper Moon Six, Byakuya, who personally put him on the throne as the "Storm Pillar," was even more of a coward.
But a ghost like Lingyuzi, who couldn't muster any resistance and just ran away from beginning to end, so cowardly that she even cried out in fear and fainted, was a first for me.
Xia Yan naturally wouldn't let such an interesting toy pass him by.
Watching Ling Yuzi dart away through the woods like a corgi, Xia Yan's lips curled into a slight smile.
I took a deep breath, following a specific rhythm.
"—Concentrate on breathing."
The next second, Xia Yan's figure transformed into a whirlwind, howling as he chased after Ling Yuzi's departing figure.
Although his breathing method, after his own modifications and innovations, can be considered a completely independent breathing method.
However, the method used as a reference is "Thunder Breathing," which emphasizes speed the most among all breathing techniques.
Therefore, it was impossible for them to be at a disadvantage in terms of speed.
In addition, there's the taijutsu-type body-flicker technique he shared with the Naruto world, and his physique that far surpasses that of ordinary people.
Driven by the gale, in terms of speed alone, even the most advanced technology of this era could not compare to Xia Yan's.
In just a few breaths, Xia Yan traversed hundreds of meters and hung behind Ling Yuzi.
"Ugh! Don't chase me! It's scary—!!!"
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Ling Yuzi, who had caught up with Xia Yan, was running even more disheveled, almost like she was fleeing with her head in her hands, with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes.
Through their actions, they vividly demonstrated what it means to burst into tears.
However, after catching up with Ling Yuzi, Xia Yan did nothing.
He just kept staying within reach, chasing after her, looking like a pervert.
Two hours later, the entire Sunrise Mountain was covered with the footprints of Ling Yuzi.
"No! No! Spare me! Please, I beg you, let me go!"
Seeing that Xia Yan had been following her but didn't seem to be hurting her, Ling Yuzi ran away crying and asked loudly.
Why are you chasing me?!
"I need cough syrup!" Xia Yan replied instinctively upon hearing this familiar question.
"What is that?! I've never heard of it before! I don't have anything like that!"
Lingyuzi cried out even louder, her voice filled with intense grievance.
She was inexplicably chased all over the mountains for more than two hours. Although she was able to keep running thanks to her strong recovery ability, she felt that her mental state was nearing its limit.
Chapter 194 Lolis Have Always Fallen Off Flat Ground
"Are we still going to run? If we keep running, it'll be dawn soon..."
Seeing Ling Yuzi still running away in tears, showing no intention of escaping, and noticing that the sky was no longer as dark as before, Xia Yan kindly reminded her.
It was the height of summer, and the nights were naturally shorter than the days.
When Xia Yan arrived at Sunrise Mountain, it was already late at night.
Adding to the time he spent bleeding ghosts at the foot of the mountain and fishing for them, and the more than three hours he spent walking ghosts on the mountain, by this time the sky was beginning to lighten.
In about half an hour, it will get light, and an hour later, the sun will be fully up.
Mount Hinode in Ome Ward, Tokyo Prefecture, is named after the sunrise view.
Despite having been running non-stop for over three hours, Lingyu still looked incredibly energetic. Even her sobs were still loud; clearly, if no one stopped her, she intended to keep running like that forever.
