"You're back, Anada! Dinner will be a while, do you want to take a shower first?"
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Kui Zhi kneeling in the entryway waiting for me, with indoor slippers neatly arranged on the floor.
It seemed they had been waiting here since Tanjiro came out to greet them, giving Xia Yan a feeling that his emotional value had been instantly maximized.
"Ho ho ho, so this time there's no option to eat you first?"
"Ugh! No sex during pregnancy!" Kui Zhi rolled her eyes at Xia Yan, annoyed.
"Yes, yes, you should rest more now that you know you're pregnant. There's no need to do such a small thing yourself. Take better care of your health. Where did Lingyu go? Let her do it. She's just a maid who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun all day."
Five months into her pregnancy, Kui Zhi's belly was noticeably protruding.
However, instead of ruining her beauty, it added a sense of maternal holiness.
After examining Aoi's body with a glare and confirming that both the fetus and the mother were healthy, Xia Yan carefully helped her up.
Although he had lived two lives, this was the first time Xia Yan had truly experienced what it felt like to be a father.
Both JOJO Natsuhiko and Rogue Natsuhiko have become fathers, but they do not share their memories of their private lives.
However, Natsuhiko, a writer specializing in adult content, has shared many such experiences.
After all, given his planting frequency and seed quantity, winning the bid was practically a common occurrence.
They even have a lot of tips on how to maximize pleasure during pregnancy without causing any problems.
However, considering the unique circumstances on his end, it can be said that it has little reference value.
“I deliberately prevented her from doing it. After all, welcoming her husband home is a wife's right, and there's no reason to share it with others. Don't worry, there won't be any problems. Have faith in Tamayo and Kanae's medical skills.”
Despite this, Aoi couldn't help but smile happily, sensing Natsuhiko's concern.
Instead, she nestled gently against Xia Yanhua, letting him help her walk into the room.
"Yes, yes, then enjoy your rights as a wife to the fullest."
Xia Yan naturally knew there was no problem.
In fact, although Tamayo could be said to be the top medical expert of this era, in terms of medical technology, Natsuhiko should actually be the best.
It can be said to be at a level that is more than two hundred years ahead of the world!
After all, Natsuhiko, the Hokage, didn't learn his medical skills for nothing over the years.
But knowing something and worrying about it are two different things.
"By the way, Tanjiro told me that the Sound Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps seems to have stepped down from the front lines after killing the Upper Rank Demon with you..."
"Ah."
Xia Yan nodded indifferently.
He wasn't curious about how Tanjiro knew the news.
Having received his training for so many years, Tanjiro naturally passed the Demon Slayer Corps' "Final Selection" as early as 597 and became a formal Demon Slayer.
In terms of strength alone, she could even be said to be no less than Kanroji Mirei.
Therefore, they were naturally aware of this management change.
"If you calculate it that way, you've already personally defeated two Upper Moon demons..."
"Yes."
"Tamayo said that you seemed exhausted after your battle with Upper Moon Three..."
"It's alright, nothing special."
"The Demon Slayer Corps' work must be very dangerous, right? Many of the wounded members in the Butterfly Mansion are even disabled..."
"Hmm? What exactly are you trying to say?"
Although Aoi seemed to be simply sighing, Natsuhiko clearly sensed that there was something more to her words, and she was obviously hinting at something.
"I'm five months pregnant, and my due date is in a little over four months. Tamayo and Kanae are due a month earlier than me..."
"The Demon Slayer Corps' work is too dangerous! Even though you're strong and have never been injured before, what if something happens? What will we do if something goes wrong?"
"Anada, you've already personally killed two Upper Moon demons, why do you still want to hunt demons? Can't you step down like that 'Sound Pillar'?"
"I don't want my child to be born without a father!"
Chapter 371 My Wife's Worries
Aoi looked at Natsuhiko with teary eyes, the kind of eyes that could easily win a man's sympathy.
However, Xia Yan, who was looking at her, was both amused and exasperated.
Objectively speaking, what Kui Zhi said makes a lot of sense.
Not counting the Lower Moon demons who died at his hands, and his four-year reign as the Demon Slayer Corps' number one demon slayer.
Just to mention that he single-handedly killed Upper Moon Three, and together with his teammates, killed Upper Moon Six, and created and maintained the "Arashiya" organization.
From the perspective of a demon hunter alone, Xia Yan's actions and achievements are so remarkable that they can be described as unprecedented and likely to remain so.
Let alone stepping down to the sidelines, even if Xia Yan said he wanted to leave the Demon Slayer Corps now, no one would have the right to say a single word against it.
Not only could they not refuse, they also had to provide Xia Yan with the best food and drink every day.
Because he is a person who has truly made great contributions.
And to be honest, unlike Shinobu Kocho, Sanemi Shinazugawa, and Giyu Tomioka who have a deep-seated hatred for demons, Natsuhiko doesn't actually have much hatred towards demons.
Although his parents also died at the hands of ghosts, given his unfortunate family background and his childhood experiences, it's just that times are different. If it were today, his parents would probably be working on sewing machines for child abuse.
Therefore, Xia Yan would not attribute his hatred to the ghosts regarding the sudden death of his parents.
On the contrary, I felt somewhat relieved.
As a token of gratitude, Xia Yan also made that green-haired turtle the world's first and currently only demon to die from Ripple, a privilege that would later be granted the same treatment as Muzan, and it was an early access version.
If that green-haired turtle in hell had any knowledge, it would definitely thank Xia Yan.
Therefore, Xia Yan now seems to have no reason to continue hunting demons and can completely retire to the sidelines or even retire.
Is it dangerous to work in the Demon Slayer Corps?
In a broad and universal sense, it is naturally extremely dangerous.
Ordinary swordsmen risk their lives every time they hunt demons, and even members of the "Hidden" organization, who are only responsible for intelligence and cleanup, take great risks.
Even a powerful Pillar-level swordsman can suffer losses when encountering strange and bizarre Blood Demon Arts before fully understanding the situation.
Therefore, even though he was recognized as the strongest Stone Pillar besides Natsuhiko, Gyomei Himejima had already prepared to sacrifice himself.
Not to mention, the mission Xia Yan was carrying out was the most dangerous and trickiest mission for the Demon Slayer Corps.
Therefore, Kui Zhi's words make a lot of sense.
If Xia Yan were just an ordinary person, he would definitely agree after some thought.
But he wasn't.
The risks mentioned above only apply to ordinary people.
Xia Yan is clearly not an ordinary person.
To be precise, from the moment he entered the [space], he was no longer an ordinary person!
Although the cheat itself didn't give him any special abilities, his achievements today are entirely due to the hard work of Xia Yan and his friends from various worlds.
But it truly changed his fate!
Xia Yan's greatest trump card, the one that allows him to act with impunity, is not the Ripple that counters demons, nor his superhuman physical abilities, nor his unparalleled swordsmanship, nor even his Byakugan that can see through everything.
Rather, it is an immortal being from the world of demi-humans!
It is an immortal being that can be resurrected in full condition after death, and can even replenish the vitamins and trace elements that the body lacks.
He will not die, and he will not even suffer any aftereffects.
Therefore, no matter how dangerous the behavior, it was just a more exciting game for him.
During his battle against Akaza, Natsuhiko was indeed exhausted at the last moment, but that was before he used the Ripple attack, and it was only after the battle was over and he was relaxed.
In fact, even if they fought until dawn, Xia Yan could keep going.
Moreover, if Akaza really killed Natsuhiko, he would be pleasantly surprised to find that Natsuhiko would stand up in full strength and then cleanly and neatly cut off his head.
What Aoi Echi sees as a dangerous job is nothing more than a stress-relieving recreational activity for Natsuhiko.
Of course, Xia Yan didn't let anyone know about his immortality.
It's not a matter of trust, it's simply that there's no need for it.
But seeing Kui Zhi's pale purple eyes brimming with tears, Xia Yan felt it was better to let them know about this.
At least it saves my wife from overthinking.
Of course, even if we were to say it, we certainly couldn't say it directly in the room.
Although Xia Yan was quite confident in the privacy of his home, just to be on the safe side, he still brought Kui Zhi along to the basement he had carefully built.
After several years of continuous development, the basement is now like a completely different world compared to the outside.
It's like traveling from ancient times to the future in an instant, giving people a magical feeling of crossing hundreds of years of time and space.
To meet the needs of the laboratory's operation and experiments, Xia Yan even installed a controllable nuclear reaction battery in the basement of his house.
It is enough to meet the electricity needs of an entire industrialized city for ten years.
While it cannot be as safe and reliable as Iron Man's cold nuclear fusion, it has been verified by Ainz Ooal Gown and Xia Yan over several decades and will absolutely not pose any danger to the human body.
After all, Xia Yan himself didn't want his future children to live a life where they were surrounded by radiation but didn't know it was happening.
At this moment, Tamayo and Kanae are in the basement researching those strange and unusual potions.
Although Xia Yan had some knowledge of biochemistry and the like, he hadn't kept up with the times, so he didn't quite understand what they were doing.
The two little female ghosts, who were six months pregnant, now had bellies that were even larger than Kui Zhi's.
However, for a ghost's constitution, apart from the inconvenience of its size, the actual feeling is not much different from having a cell phone in your pocket.
Therefore, there was no situation of overwork.
