Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Page 116

Chapter 184 We can't let her live a life of widowhood any longer.

Due to Tanjuro's sudden passing, his family has recently been struggling to make ends meet, let alone afford to use their spare money to move.

Thinking of this, Kui Zhi fell silent.

"What's wrong? You seem a little troubled."

Seeing that Aoi, who had been quite interested, suddenly lowered her head and fell silent, Natsuhiko raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Faced with Xia Yan's concern, Kui Zhi hesitated for a moment, then whispered:

"Moving will cost a lot of money..."

"We need to consider a new place to live, as well as income and expenses. After all, all we can do is make charcoal, and we don't have any other means of making a living."

Hearing what Aoi said, Natsuhiko was stunned for a moment.

He hadn't expected that the other party would be troubled by money.

After all, since he transmigrated to this point, he has never encountered anything that required him to worry about money.

Although he was often beaten and scolded when he was young, he was never short of food and drink. As he grew a little older, he also saved up a lot of money on his own thanks to his excellent work ability in his previous life.

After awakening his cheat ability, he became even more extraordinary, not to mention the large amount of gold and silver he inherited from his beastly father.

In both the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Kyo Kusanagi worlds, I was someone who was never short of money. A tiny bit of money peeking out from under my fingernails would be enough for other people to live comfortably for a lifetime.

With this capital, he also made some investments based on his unique perspective that transcended the times.

In addition, the Demon Slayer Corps already pays very high salaries, and once you become a "Pillar," you can simply ask for money.

As a result, Xia Yan overlooked money, a fundamental and practical thing.

After all, he's now the kind of person who can confidently say, "I don't like money, I have no interest in money."

but,

Since it's a matter of money, then it's not really a problem for Xia Yan.

"Don't worry, since I've suggested you move, I'll naturally take care of your living arrangements."

Xia Yan waved his hand dismissively, striking a very arrogant pose.

"...No, I couldn't possibly..."

After hearing Xia Yan's words, Kui Zhi hesitated for a moment. Although she was very tempted, she still intended to refuse.

After all, in her eyes, it was just about finding a flower on the mountain, which was hardly a merit, so she was naturally embarrassed to accept Xia Yan's help.

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Yan interrupted him.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Tanjiro helped me a lot, and Mrs. Aoi is so cute..."

As he spoke, Xia Yan placed one hand on Kui Zhi's shoulder and gently slid it twice.

Upon sensing Xia Yan's movement, Kui Zhi trembled slightly.

She tried to back away, but found Xia Yan's hand on her shoulder. Although it wasn't very strong, it wasn't something she could easily break free from.

Seeing that Kui Zhi was still somewhat hesitant, Xia Yan decided to add fuel to the fire.

"And, Mrs. Aoi..."

He leaned down and whispered in Kui Zhi's ear:

"You wouldn't want your child to spend their whole life selling charcoal, would you?"

"The children are still young. If they start receiving an education now, they will definitely have a better life..."

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The warm breath on her ear made the young widow tremble slightly, and she let out a cute sound.

Then, as if making a decision, he slowly but firmly embraced Xia Yan.

"Then... I'll leave everything to Xia Yan-kun..."

……

After the recollection ended.

Looking at Aoi, who was now Mrs. Narukami Tsuki, standing in front of him with expectant eyes, Natsuhiko couldn't help but feel fortunate for his decision back then.

It was incredibly wise of him to trick such a virtuous wife into coming back.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

Seeing that Xia Yan ate the entire Hagi mochi in one bite, Aoi asked with a smile.

Although coercion and enticement were involved when she first submitted to him, Aoi, as a beneficiary of the system, did not complain.

After all, this was the choice she made.

In fact, she was the biggest beneficiary.

Not only will they no longer need to rack their brains to make ends meet, but they will also no longer need to worry about their children's future livelihood and prospects, and they will once again have someone to rely on...

Thinking of this, Aoi's gaze towards Natsuhiko softened even more.

After that insightful conversation in the grove a year ago, Xia Yan took Kui Zhi and her family back to his home.

He also explained everything to Tanjiro, the eldest son who inherited the Kagura dance and sunflower earrings, and to his eldest daughter Nezuko, who was already sensible.

After learning that there really are such tragic creatures as "demons" in the world, the various evil deeds committed by Muzan, and the truth about the Hinokami Kagura dance that he inherited.

Kind-hearted Tanjiro immediately decided to join the Demon Slayer Corps to pass on the "Breathing of the Sun" technique and fulfill Yoriichi Tsugikuni's wish to slay demons.

Nezuko, worried that her brother would be in danger, tried to persuade him to stay, but to no avail. Seeing that she could not change his mind, she gave up going to school and decided to join the Demon Slayer Corps to face danger with her brother.

The brother and sister became the stepsons of Natsuhiko, the "Storm Pillar" of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Thanks to the ability of the "Anubis" Stand to rapidly improve in combat skills.

After having Tanjiro perform the Hinokami Kagura dance twice in front of him, Natsuhiko completely mastered the breathing method of "Sun Breathing" and all sword forms.

Although Nezuko was also a child of the Kamado family, and although she was very talented in breathing techniques.

However, because he is not a child of He Zhuo, he is not very adaptable to the Breath of the Sun, so he learns Xia Yan's Breath of the Storm.

During this time, Xia Yan also tried to teach them the Ripple Breathing Technique.

However, they discovered that, apart from themselves, others using Ripple Breathing could at most accelerate the recovery of physical strength and slightly speed up the healing of wounds.

There is simply no way to generate ripples.

As for the other four children, except for the very young Rokuta, they were all enrolled in school by Natsuhiko as promised.

……

"Is it tasty……"

Xia Yan repeated Kui Zhi's question, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

Chapter 185 You've Come Just in Time

Kui Zhi's gaze, tilted at a 45-degree angle and filled with tenderness and expectation, is so alluring that it makes one want to devour her whole.

And that's exactly what he did.

"...Then you should try it too!"

Xia Yan picked up Kui Zhi's petite and soft body and threw her onto the tatami mat behind him.

"Hey! Wait... Waaah—"

Aoi was startled by Natsuhiko's sudden attack. She only had time to let out a gasp before her mouth was blocked, and she tried to say something but it was already stuck in her throat.

The next second, she was completely absorbed in Xia Yan's skillful techniques. When she came to her senses, her clothes had already been half taken off.

"Wait, wait a minute, Xia Yanjun... It's still daytime, how about nighttime, nighttime..."

Although she was almost completely lost in passion and looked sticky and confused, the last shred of reason in her mind still made Aoi stop Natsuhiko from continuing.

It's not that she's particularly sensitive about daytime.

However, Tanjiro and Nezuko were still training in the yard, while Rokuta, who was not yet of school age, was playing in the yard.

She was afraid that she might lose control and speak too loudly, and the children would hear her...

Although she hadn't kept her relationship with Xia Yan a secret from the children and had received their understanding and blessings, and the children had even changed their surnames along with her, it was only natural for her to do such a thing.

But you should at least keep it a secret from people.

Moreover, it was already afternoon, and the other three school children could return at any time.

Although they would surely be sensible enough not to come in after hearing the noise, she would lose all face as a mother.

Hearing Kui Zhi's words, and seeing the slightly pleading look in her large purple eyes.

Although she would give it to her if she insisted, Xia Yan, knowing her concerns, did not force her.

Sensing that Xia Yan had stopped moving, Kui Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, but the emptiness in her body also made her feel a little lost.

After all, she wasn't completely oblivious.

His body, already more sensitive than normal, had been further developed by Xia Yan over the past year...

It's inevitable to feel empty and lost when things suddenly stop when you're having a great time.

Her ability to pull back from the brink is a testament to her unwavering resolve.

Just as Aoi was about to get up, she found herself being picked up by Natsuhiko in a shameful manner.

"...Xia Yanjun?"

"Waiting until night is too long, let's go to the basement instead. Anyway, there's no sunlight there, so it's the same as night."

Before she finished speaking, Kui Zhi felt the emptiness she had just felt instantly filled up.

My mind went completely blank for a moment, and I was unable to think at all.

With her last shred of reason, she forcefully covered her mouth.

To avoid making too much noise and attracting attention on the way to the basement.
