How many years has it been since I can remember?
It seems no boy has ever complimented my hair...
My hair color, in their eyes, seemed like a monstrous, ugly thing...
Because of my hair color and monstrous strength, I couldn't find a husband in my hometown...
Because of my hair color, even when others were at fault, it was still considered my fault, and I was even thought to be a human trafficker...
And now, someone, and a handsome young man at that, actually complimented my hair color.
He even proactively asked for my name.
So happy, so nervous, so fond.
And he's so powerful; he actually kicked such a formidable demon flying!
"I... I, I, my name is Mitsuri Kanroji."
"Thank you for saving me!"
Mitsuri bowed deeply to Lan Mingang in gratitude.
"Stand up; you don't need to be so polite with me."
After Mitsuri stood up, Lan Mingang said domineeringly:
"Mitsuri, you are very beautiful, your hair color is lovely, and I really like it."
"Will you be with me?"
"Ah?!" Mitsuri was startled.
Then her heart pounded.
What does Ming Ang Ge mean by this?
Is he confessing to me?
So direct?
I like it so much! So excited!
But will Ming Ang Ge accept my monstrous strength?
Seeing Mitsuri's face turn crimson, her eyes full of affection but with a slight hesitation.
Lan Mingang pressed on, caressing Mitsuri's cheek as he asked:
"Little Mitsuri, are you perhaps afraid that I'll be scared of your monstrous strength?"
"Don't worry, no matter how great your strength is, or how astonishing your appetite, I will accept you."
"And my strength and appetite are also quite enormous!"
Lan Mingang, possessing Saiyan blood, naturally wouldn't have a small appetite.
Mitsuri can eat a lot, and that's good; being able to eat is a blessing.
If Mitsuri couldn't eat, how could she have such a good figure?
Hearing that Lan Mingang also had monstrous strength and a huge appetite.
Mitsuri immediately felt a sense of belonging.
"Ah!"
"Ming Ang Ge, do you really not mind?"
Mitsuri, already deeply caught in the whirlwind of love, subconsciously ignored why Lan Mingang knew so much about her.
"Of course, I don't mind."
"So, do you agree?"
"I... I... I..."
"I do!" Mitsuri shouted loudly, crying tears of joy; finally, someone could accept her.
Then she threw herself into Lan Mingang's arms, hugging him tightly.
Lan Mingang stroked Mitsuri's head and said gently:
"From now on, you, Mitsuri Kanroji, are my woman."
"I will not let anyone or any demon bully you."
Bang!
A gunshot, Pylos, who had fully recovered once again, had already crawled out of the wall, holding a rifle aimed at Mitsuri.
"Damn it, showing off your affection in front of me, watch me shoot you dead!"
On the other side, Kyojuro Rengoku, who had just crawled out of the rubble, held his nichirin blade and saw the bullet flying towards Mitsuri from afar.
Seeing the bullet about to hit Mitsuri, Kyojuro Rengoku quickly warned:
"Dodge quickly..."
However, before he could finish, the bullet was already within ten centimeters of Mitsuri.
In the nick of time, Lan Mingang swiftly extended his left hand, covered in pitch-black Armament Haki, and grabbed the bullet.
"Catching a bullet with bare hands?"
"Hahaha, arrogant child!" Upon seeing Lan Mingang attempting to catch the bullet with his bare hands, Pylos burst into laughter.
He was already impatient to hear Lan Mingang's screams.
Kyojuro Rengoku also believed that Lan Mingang couldn't catch the bullet, after all, how could a mortal body block a rifle bullet?
"You're courting death!" Kyojuro Rengoku roared in anger!
In his subconscious, Lan Mingang's hand would be pierced, and the bullet would shoot into Mitsuri's head.
The outcome was already decided; no one else could die at Pylos's hands!
Flame Breathing, Fifth Form: Flame Tiger!
Kyojuro Rengoku held his nichirin blade and lunged towards Pylos, the flames around him as fierce as a mighty tiger.
Facing the fiery beast, Pylos dared not be overconfident.
Blood Demon Art: Profane Womb, Shadow Wolf!
The shadow beneath Pylos directly transformed into a Shadow Wolf, its mouth containing various firearms, pouncing towards Kyojuro Rengoku.
Not only that, Pylos also pulled a Gatling gun from his own shadow.
"Revenge!"
"Die, Kyojuro Rengoku!"
In the center of the ruins, Lan Mingang opened his hand, and a bullet dropped to the ground.
Mitsuri, in his arms, only realized she was still on a mission and needed to save people because of the battle between Kyojuro Rengoku and Pylos.
Mitsuri looked at Lan Mingang, asking for his opinion:
"Ming Ang Ge, I still have to carry out my mission to defuse bombs..."
"Call me Ming Ang Ge. Let's go, let's defuse the bombs together. I have a special ability that can easily locate bombs," Lan Mingang said gently, stroking Mitsuri's head.
"Mmm! Okay, Ming Ang Ge!" Mitsuri said happily.
Lan Mingang activated his Byakugan, and the locations of the bombs in the surrounding houses became perfectly clear.
"Let's go, this way!"
The two arrived in front of a house, punched through a window, and retrieved the bomb placed inside.
But at the same time, a dozen Shadow Wolves also emerged from the shadows, glaring ferociously at the two.
Mitsuri, holding the bomb, looked at the pitch-black, vicious, eye-covered Shadow Wolves, feeling a little scared.
"Ming Ang Ge, they..."
Mitsuri had only joined the Demon Slayer Corps a few months ago and had at most learned some basic sword techniques.
She completely lacked the heart of a strong individual.
It was impossible to defeat these Shadow Wolves without taking damage.
There would be plenty of time in the future to help Mitsuri become stronger, but for now...
Lan Mingang shielded Mitsuri in his arms and said:
"Don't be afraid, just leave it to me!"
"Hold me tight, Big Brother is about to show off!"
"Mmm!" Mitsuri nodded, holding Lan Mingang tightly with both hands.
Lan Mingang clenched his hand in the air, and his nichirin blade, Yuhi, appeared in his hand.
He instantly vanished from his spot, reappearing behind the group of Shadow Wolves.
The Shadow Wolves' bodies stiffened, then split into pieces.
"Run!"
"Don't mind me, run!"
Not far away, the shrew who had insulted Mitsuri was currently being surrounded by five Shadow Wolves.
The shrew sat paralyzed on the ground, shouting at her son to run away quickly.
But the little brat had never seen such a scene; not only did he not dare to run, but he also walked tremblingly towards the shrew, sobbing.
Lan Mingang wasn't very inclined to save this mother and son who had insulted Mitsuri.
But he couldn't resist Mitsuri's plea in his arms.
"Ming Ang Ge, please save them too..."
"As you wish."
Mitsuri's face flushed, and she nodded lightly with an "Mmm."
Soru!
Lan Mingang arrived beside the surrounded mother and son, and with a single sweep, he cut down all five Shadow Wolves.
Too lazy to bother with the mother and son, Lan Mingang took Mitsuri to search for other bombs.
After finding and destroying three bombs and killing nearly fifty Shadow Wolves.
Observing that the battle between Kyojuro Rengoku and Pylos had entered its final stage, Lan Mingang and Mitsuri returned to the pile of ruins where they first met.
