Chapter 14 Dispute
[Kill the intermediate ghost to get 900 paradise coins]
Tanjiro was almost killed, but luckily he was one step ahead. Chen Ming was secretly grateful.
It's a pity that I couldn't explode a treasure chest. This spider-headed ghost is obviously very powerful. Is it true that only high-level ghosts can explode treasure chests?
Shouldn't it?
When Chen Ming was feeling regretful, a pig's head was placed in front of him, almost startling him.
"It's you!"
Inosuke shouted loudly, and two thick breaths came out of the wild boar's hood, panting excitedly.
"Same aura, you must have been the one who killed the spider silk ghost before! You are really strong! Come and duel with me!"
"Forehead"
Chen Ming looked at the scars on Inosuke's body and felt that this guy might faint at any time due to excessive blood loss. How could he be so excited even though he was like this?
"Don't cause trouble to others!!"
Tanjiro angrily gave Inosuke a headbutt to let him wake up. I really don't know what is going on in this guy's mind. Someone just helped them twice, but instead of thanking him when they met, he wanted to fight with him?
This headbutt completely put Inosuke to rest. He lay there and groaned, and the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet.
"Is this little girl from your family?"
Chen Ming didn't pay attention to what Inosuke just said. Knowing that he had such a personality, he lifted Nezuko up like a cat and asked Tanjiro.
Midouzi blinked her eyes cutely, and she did look a bit like a kitten that was pinched by the back of the neck.
In her current understanding, human beings are her family members. When she sees Chen Ming, she automatically imagines him as her younger brother. After all, she is the eldest sister at home, but now she is being held in the hands of her younger brother.
This made Mi Douzi, who was currently short of brains, feel a little confused and even a little unhappy. He couldn't help mumbling something vaguely.
"Yes, this is my sister..."
Tanjiro quickly took over his sister, and then remembered the identity of Nezuko Oni, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Is your sister a ghost?"
As Chen Ming spoke, he reached out and touched Nezuko's head. Tanjiro was startled when he said these words, and he pulled Nezuko back behind him.
He couldn't blame Tanjiro for overreacting. It was because Chen Ming's display of strength was too strong. His several attacks left a deep impression on people. He didn't think that these people could be Chen Ming's opponents.
What's more, protecting his sister who is a ghost is, to put it bluntly, a violation of human rights and a serious violation of the team rules of the Demon Slayer Corps. Once discovered, he will be severely held accountable, and even his master will be implicated.
This kind of thing is too serious and Tanjiro cannot help but be careless.
"Relax, your sister is very special. As a ghost, she can suppress her ghost nature. I have never seen such a ghost before."
Chen Ming's gentle smile made Tanjiro feel relieved a little.
"I kill ghosts because ghosts eat people, not because they are ghosts themselves. So please tell me, has your sister ever eaten people?"
“Absolutely not”
Faced with Chen Ming's question, Tanjiro answered firmly.
"I trust you"
Chen Ming was silent for a while, nodded in response, and continued.
"But it's useless for me to believe you. You have to make other members of the Demon Slayer Squad believe it too, especially the one behind you."
"What?"
Before Tanjiro's mind could turn around, a butterfly-like figure floated down from above without making a sound.
Under this elegant and beautiful posture, there is a deadly murderous intention, and the slender blade has been drawn out without knowing when.
It was too late for Tanjiro to react now, and he could only watch helplessly as the blade pointed directly at Yadouzi.
At this critical moment, Chen Ming reached over Tanjiro and grabbed the Butterfly Ninja's wrist, taking her to the side. The blade of the blade grazed Midouzi's face and sank into the trunk of the tree.
When Tanjiro saw this, his legs were so frightened that he almost collapsed. He took a strong breath and took Yadouzi away from here.
I was really afraid of what would happen. I originally thought that there was room for easing things, but unexpectedly, another member of the Demon Slayer Corps showed up, and his strength was also extraordinary. If Chen Ming hadn't taken action, Tanjiro would have lost just now.
My own sister.
When he thought of this, Tanjiro felt deeply grateful to Chen Ming.
"Ming, what are you doing? It's against team rules to harbor ghosts!"
Butterfly Ren asked with a smile, with a hint of blame in his plain tone.
"That's what I say, but Mi Douzi's situation is special. It's better to inform the owner first and let him make the judgment."
"Do you even know the name?"
The Butterfly Ninja's eyes fell on Midouzi, he glanced back and forth and said.
"So Ming, you like this type. Although I don't want to comment on Ming's taste, but ghosts are ghosts. If you can't do it, just don't hinder me, okay?"
"That's too much to say."
Chen Ming couldn't help but take a deep breath and adjust his emotions. Butterfly Ninja is essentially a very gentle person, but this does not affect the use of her poisonous tongue.
When we were sparring before, I often made Chen Ming very angry.
"Is it too much? Compared to you, Ming, I'm much worse. Now you don't even have the guts to be a pillar, yet you dare to take advantage of others and attack your 'mentor' just to protect a ghost. Who do you think is more extreme?"
"..."
"Why don't you say anything? At least give me a reason to do this."
"..."
Chen Ming was speechless. What the other party said was correct, and he really couldn't give any reason. After all, he had just met Tanjiro and his group today.
From the Butterfly Ninja's point of view, Chen Ming had no reason to protect him. Could it be that he really fell in love with Midouzi?
Butterfly frowned slightly. Seeing that Chen Ming was not responding to her, he couldn't even maintain his usual smile. He started to twitch slightly, and the strength of his struggle in his hands became a little heavier.
Unfortunately, in this regard, even Chen Ming, whose strength was not outstanding, was able to suppress it steadily.
Seeing Butterfly Ninja's eyes becoming more and more unkind, Chen Ming looked away with a guilty conscience.
Just as the two were in a stalemate, an indifferent voice came from the side.
"You two, can you please pay attention to the occasion? Now is not the time for flirting."
Tomioka held the sword and looked at Chen Ming and the two quietly. He was not disgusted by the closeness between the two. Tomioka was simply dissatisfied with the two people's lax work attitude.
We agreed to go out to slay ghosts, but why are we still holding hands and looking at each other lovingly? Is this still a pillar?
