Chapter 273 is more like a mountain deity.
"However, when she joined the Demon Slayer Corps, I had already left the Demon Slayer Corps along with Yoriichi for some reasons."
"Therefore, I actually never met her when I was in the Demon Slayer Corps."
"It was by chance that we bumped into each other later," Yuko said simply, without telling the two the specific circumstances at the time. "At that time, she had just joined the Demon Slayer Corps and it was her first mission."
"Back then, the Demon Slayer Corps didn't have such strict requirements for joining as it does now. In addition, with the Demon Slayers falling one after another, the skill level of the swordsmen varied greatly. Even her learning of breathing techniques was extremely rudimentary."
Shinobu Kocho and Gyomei Himejima exchanged glances. Neither of them knew much about the history of the Demon Slayer Corps, but after hearing Ikuko's words, they couldn't help but feel sad for the Demon Slayer Corps of that time.
It must have been a difficult time.
Fortunately, the predecessors all persevered.
There are still many people who can live happily, and that is the meaning of their perseverance.
"And it's probably because she was attacked by a ghost in the past and has a fear of ghosts."
"With her strength and mentality, she could easily defeat even ordinary evil spirits."
"I was worried that she would die at the hands of demons, so I offered to help her, thinking that I could see if she could grow in the mission, and if not, I would suggest that she leave the Demon Slayer Corps."
It's unknown whether she left the Demon Slayer Corps after that.
“I thought it was just an ordinary case of a demon eating people…” Yuko’s eyes were a little dazed as she was lost in her memories, not even noticing the two people’s reactions. “…I never expected to meet my brother who had become a demon there.”
Even now, she still doesn't know how Yan Sheng found her. Was it through a connection of bloodlines?
That's a bit of nonsense. She could indeed sense Yoriichi's bloodline after she became a demon, but that only happened when they were face to face.
To sense the presence of one's blood relatives from hundreds or thousands of miles away, she would have to be at least a Golden Core cultivator.
Or was it just a chance encounter?
She really wasn't very lucky.
That is indeed the case.
Shinobu pursed her lips slightly. She had heard this story before, but at the time, Yuko had only briefly mentioned that her brother had turned her into a ghost.
Then he discovered that he wasn't afraid of sunlight at all, and he didn't need to eat human flesh.
That's how easily you put it.
It's as if she had said to Uzui Tengen before, "She is the most perfect QQ life form."
Yuko's expression was nothing like the somber one she had been looking at before.
"The result was obvious. I couldn't beat him because of the demon blood he injected..." Yuko paused here, as if she suddenly felt that her words were a bit too heavy, so she deliberately changed the subject, "Of course, that's because I was sick at the time."
"Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't be able to beat me."
Shinobu Kocho: “…”
She knew it would be like this.
Shinobu sat on a rock to the side, propping her elbows on her thighs and supporting her cheeks, tilting her head and staring at Yuko without moving.
It was so deliberate that it made him look a bit dull.
But...it's even cuter now...
Seems pretty good too.
"Amitabha." Beiming Island Xingming didn't react much, just acted as a qualified listener, occasionally uttering "Amitabha" to show his presence.
“After I lost to Kokushibo, I thought she would be killed…” A shadow fell over Yuko’s eyes. “But that guy crippled her hands and feet and threw her in front of me.”
When Shinobu Kocho heard her refer to her brother as "Kuroshibo," she knew that this had upset Ikuko.
Because, in most cases, when Yuko recounts her memories, she likes to refer to Kokushibo by his real name, 'Iwakatsu'.
The demon name 'Kuroshibo' is only used when one is angry at the other party.
Upon hearing Yuuko's words, Shinobu immediately understood Kokushibo's meaning: becoming a demon would consume a lot of stamina, so he had prepared 'food' for Yuuko in advance.
Thinking about it this way, he really is a 'qualified' older brother, very considerate of his younger sister.
"Amitabha."
Beiming Island Xingming also understood the meaning behind it and let out a sigh.
"Before losing consciousness, I tried my best to restrain my urge to eat people."
"Perhaps it's because I ate the blue spider lily, or perhaps it's because of my special constitution, but I didn't become a man-eating demon as he wished."
"After I regained consciousness, I found that she was still alive, so I used my own blood to save her."
It sounds like a pretty perfect story.
Even if Yuko didn't reveal what happened next, Shinobu Kocho could roughly guess what would happen.
"But after she regained consciousness, she didn't thank me. Instead, she kicked me away and ran away in fear." Yu Zi shrugged, seemingly unconcerned. "She even came back to save me when I told her to run away earlier."
Himejima Gyomei couldn't help but ask, "What were you thinking when you saved that person?"
"What are your thoughts?" Yuko glanced sideways and could see a hint of expectation on Himejima Gyomei's face, a desire to resonate with someone else.
Yuko could understand Himejima Gyomei's agitation; being called a murderer by the person he was protecting was simply not normal.
"At the time, I naturally hoped that she could understand me, that she could thank me, and that we could talk about our future plans and whether we should change careers."
"But at that time I was still in a demonized state, and I saw unnatural saliva secretion."
"In her eyes, he must be a complete monster."
Shinobu Kocho finally couldn't help but interrupt, "No, that's not true. Yuuko is very cute, even after she turns into a demon. I don't find her scary at all."
Looking at her earnest expression, Yu Zi felt a warm current flow through her heart.
“Amitabha, I have also heard others praise Miss Yuko’s appearance.” Himejima Gyomei put his hands together, “saying that she is not scary at all, but rather very gorgeous.”
Yu Zi had originally wanted to ask who had such good judgment, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, she swallowed her doubts and instead smiled and said, "I think so too."
"He's clearly handsome, isn't he?"
If she were to turn into something like Yu Hu, she would rather die.
It's too ugly; I can't accept it, either physically or psychologically.
"That's right, that's right." Shinobu Kocho nodded repeatedly, just like a little fangirl.
She was clearly very beautiful, and she couldn't help but imagine seeing Yuko's figure in a clearing in the deep mountains and forests on a bright moonlit night, walking through the hazy woods.
If it were her, she definitely wouldn't mistake Yuko for a ghost or a phantom.
She would definitely think it was a mountain deity.
