Doma, Who Had No Desire to Live

"Shut up!" Hongyue suddenly turned her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Doma.

The gentle expression she wore moments ago vanished instantly, replaced by pure coldness. Her tenderness seemed reserved only for Kurozawa.

Doma was bewildered, unsure what he had done to anger Hongyue. He quickly knelt down, lowering his head until it touched the ground, silent as a cicada in winter. He whispered, "Please, my lady, calm your anger."

Then he clamped his mouth shut, not daring to speak another word.

However, Doma felt very strange. He thought that Lady Hongyue seemed to know Kurozawa, and from the look of it, their relationship wasn't shallow.

On the other side, Kanae, half-lying against the wall of a dilapidated house, silently shifted her gaze between Kurozawa and Hongyue.

"Could this Demon in red, the one who destroyed Mount Fujikasane and killed the Flame Pillar, be her?" The moment she saw Hongyue, this thought popped into Kanae's mind.

Mainly, Hongyue's aura was astonishing. Simply standing there, unmoving, the light of the countless stars in the sky seemed to dim in comparison to her.

"Kurozawa knows her, and there's a significant issue between the two of them." Kanae's silent face held a turmoil of emotions; she remained unspoken.

Facing Kurozawa, seeing Doma's appearance, Hongyue turned her head back. All the coldness on her face had dissipated, replaced by a slightly weak and helpless expression. "You misunderstood, I have no ill will towards you."

Unclear of her true purpose, Kurozawa couldn't let down his guard. Although his Fighting Spirit perception didn't detect any malice from Hongyue, just as she said.

Kurozawa stepped forward, his voice low and steady. "Did you come to Lotus Town for me?"

Hongyue nodded gently. "You kept not coming to Asakusa, I was afraid you might have run into some trouble."

"On Mount Sagiri, Iguro Obanai told me you had come to Lotus Town. I thought you might be in danger, so I rushed here without delay."

Doma was in Lotus Town, and in Hongyue's impression, Kurozawa was no match for Doma. So she arrived quickly, just in case Kurozawa was killed by Doma.

But now, it seemed Kurozawa's growth speed was astonishing, exceeding her expectations. He was now capable of slaying Doma.

Kurozawa's breathing hitched; he felt somewhat in the wrong. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You should know very well why I didn't come to Asakusa to find you."

He wasn't a gentleman, but he still understood the principle of not standing under a crumbling wall.

After hearing Kurozawa's words, Hongyue shook her head, looking puzzled. "No, I don't know. Why is that?" She paused, then whispered, "Was your mission too busy, so you never had free time?"

"I..." Kurozawa was speechless, stopping himself mid-sentence.

Hongyue seemed overly trusting of him. This trust only amplified Kurozawa's guilt and lack of justification.

Fighting Spirit perception could discern hostility and recognize lies. Hongyue's Fighting Spirit fluctuations showed no deception, unless she also possessed Fighting Spirit and could skillfully apply it, but the probability was low.

At this moment, Kurozawa's Pitch-Black Aura weakened slightly. In front of such a Hongyue, he really couldn't muster any momentum.

The atmosphere was somewhat strange. He couldn't help but get straight to the point, directly stating, "You are a Demon, and you are their king."

"This is something you have never mentioned."

Hongyue's gaze was entirely focused on Kurozawa. She said seriously, "I am indeed, but I never intended to hide it."

"I didn't mention it because you never asked me."

Her demeanor and tone were very natural; this was Hongyue's genuine thought.

Kurozawa frowned slightly, saying, "Then I am asking you now."

Across from him, Hongyue took a few steps forward, wanting to get closer to Kurozawa. She replied, "And I am telling you now."

It was reasonable and perfectly fine. She had just openly admitted her identity.

Standing still, Kurozawa didn't stop Hongyue from approaching. After all, his combat strength was strongest in close quarters. At the same time, he silently mulled over Hongyue's words.

Suddenly, Kurozawa realized that perhaps he was the one who was constantly questioning and actively looking for trouble, while Hongyue was simply explaining patiently, without any trace of annoyance.

When she reached a distance of two meters from Kurozawa, Hongyue stopped.

She knew Kurozawa was feeling a bit nervous right now, so she left some space for things to ease.

"What Doma said is true. I killed your Upper Moons, Gyutaro and Daki."

"Not only that, I have been hunting Demons all along. Before, I also killed a Lower Moon, and the other Demons are countless."

Tightening his grip on Mingzhou, Kurozawa spoke these words one by one.

He needed to make it clear to Hongyue who he was.

After speaking, Kurozawa looked at Hongyue's cool and breathtakingly beautiful face. His heart gradually sank, and his breathing slowly grew heavier.

He had thought about this before. As an outsider, abandoned by this world, he was slowly moving towards opposition to all existence.

Naturally, he shouldn't expect anyone to stand by his side.

He was destined to be alone, an enemy of the world.

"It's okay. As long as you want them, it's fine to give you the other Upper Moons too, consider it a small welcome gift." After hearing Kurozawa's words, Hongyue was first startled, then suddenly smiled brightly, completely unconcerned.

So, this was all he was afraid of.

Next to him, Kurozawa snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "In that case, then come..." He had only gotten halfway through his harsh words when he finally understood Hongyue's meaning. It was too different from what he expected, causing his mind to become confused.

"What did you say?" Kurozawa paused, then asked again.

Hongyue lightly tilted her head and said, "I said, as long as you want them, I can give you all the Lower Moons." She turned to look at Doma, and with a wave of her hand, Doma's body moved without his own control. Like a marionette, he stood up and walked towards Kurozawa step by step.

Throughout the entire process, Doma seemed stunned, without any resistance for a moment.

Soon, after he reacted, he tried to stop his body.

I have to say, Upper Moon Two is truly formidable. Even in Hongyue's hands, he still had room to struggle.

His body stopped, wanting to retreat and distance himself.

But Hongyue's gaze turned cold, and she reached out, making a grasping motion.

Crack, crack, crack. Doma's skin intensely cracked open in large areas. Blood-red chains burst forth, piercing through his body repeatedly and wrapping tightly around him, quickly locking him down completely.

If it had been a direct fight, Hongyue would have needed some time to take down Doma. After all, Upper Moon Two is already among the absolute top tier of people in this world.

But Lower Moon has a large amount of her blood within him.

This blood is a shackle, a restraint, controlled by Hongyue. As long as it's a Demon, it's impossible to survive a single move against Hongyue.

Once locked down, Hongyue beckoned, and Doma, bound, was pulled over, falling at Kurozawa's feet.

"See? I didn't lie to you." She looked at Kurozawa, pointing at the despairing and lifeless Doma.

Kurozawa was silent, unsure what to say for a moment.

Hongyue's actions had explained everything. At such close proximity to Kurozawa's feet, if he wanted to act, no one could save Doma. She truly didn't care about the life of an Upper Moon.

Moreover, she looked at him with eyes that seemed to see a ball of light, a sun.
