Chapter 189 The gap between rich and poor

Chapter 189 The gap between rich and poor

Looking at the stack of banknotes that Wolf took out from his arms, Zenitsu's eyes turned red. He bit a handkerchief that came from nowhere and turned to look at Xuanya who was also shocked beside him.

"Did you know he's so rich?"

Faced with the inquiry, Xuan Mi frowned and thought carefully about the days when he had lived with the wolves in the past. He found that apart from the fact that they had never lacked basic supplies, they did not show any signs of being wealthy, so he murmured.

"I don't know..."

Seeing this, Zenitsu finally felt more balanced, but he also realized that this guy was talking about killing demons, but he was buying gold jewelry to please the oiran...

Unforgivable!

With a full sense of jealousy, Zenitsu led the somewhat reluctant Xuan Mi towards the wolf.

On Wolf's side, when Zenitsu was about to give Xuanya some scientific knowledge, he noticed a gold ornament in a gold shop nearby. Ignoring Zenitsu who started a long speech, Wolf walked into the gold shop alone.

He picked up the gold ornament on the wooden display case. It was a very beautiful gradient purple-blue butterfly hair ornament. The delicate and fine gold thread embellished beautiful patterns on it. The first time Wolf saw it, he imagined what it would look like when Xiaonin wore it.

Subconsciously, he touched the [Butterfly of Fate] in his arms, and recalled the scene when Shinobu blushed and stuck it on her head as a gift to him. Wolf was secretly calculating in his heart.

...Take this as a return gift...

Having made up his mind, Wolf walked to the front desk with the hair accessories to pay.

The wolf placed the hair accessory gently on the front desk, his expression calm.

"…Bill, please."

The proprietress, who was sitting in a gorgeous yukata, glanced at the hair accessories in front of her, then looked at the expressionless wolf and chuckled.

"400 yen, fixed price~"

The wolf remained calm, took out a stack of bills from his pocket, counted them carefully, made sure nothing was missing, put them on the counter, picked up the hair accessories and was about to leave.

Looking at the banknotes on the table, the boss was slightly startled.

You really don't bargain!

After thinking for a while, he called out to stop the wolf who was about to leave the gold shop.

"Please stay! Whichever courtesan do you want to meet, we can provide you with information and tell you what she likes."

Stopping in his tracks, Wolf thought he had given too much, but unexpectedly he heard some words that made him confused. So he ignored the proprietress's constant calling and left the gold shop directly.

When the wolf walked out of the house, he saw two people walking towards him before he took two steps. He was slightly stunned and made way for the gold shop behind him.

“…You guys…want to buy some too?”

Hearing this, Zenitsu paused. He bent down, holding his chest with his hands.

Bastard! !

The words were like a fist hitting Zenitsu's soul in front of him, almost making him spit out blood. Even though he held back in the end, Zenitsu still turned gray and fell to his knees.

Seeing this, Xuan Mi, who was beside him, didn't know what happened to Zenitsu, but when he saw that Zenitsu had lost all his color, he immediately became extremely anxious. Hugging the other's gradually cold body, Xuan Mi cried loudly.

“Shan-Yi!!”

The wolf looked at the two puzzled people, then walked into another small shop nearby. When he came out again, he was holding a bag full of candies in his hands.

When the gloomy Zenitsu saw the wolf coming out with candy, his color suddenly returned to normal. He broke free from Xuanya's arms, and as the other's expression gradually became disgusted, he smiled and stretched out his hand to the wolf.

"hey-hey."

Wolf looked at Zenitsu without saying a word, and just put the candy back into his arms. At this time, Xuan Mi pushed Zenitsu, who was stunned again, aside, leaving him alone in gloom again, while he discussed the business with Wolf seriously.

"When do we officially set off?"

After pondering for a moment, the wolf looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky and felt that it would be inappropriate to go there now. The fact that he was going to Yoshiwara with his two children was already conspicuous enough.

"Wait until the sun sets."

Time passed quickly, and it felt like the sun had already set in the west, releasing its last rays of light in the sky, but Zenitsu might not think so...

Ever since Xuan Mi pulled her apart, she had been sitting alone, hugging her knees, beside the two of them, without saying a word.

As the sun set completely, the world fell into darkness in an instant, but the next moment, lights in the distance lit up one by one, illuminating a magnificent city.

"That's... Yoshiwara..."

With a sigh, Xuan Mi was a little fascinated by the light for a moment, but the next moment, the wolf's voice awakened him.

"The evil spirit has lived in Yoshiwara for a long time... It is very likely that he has disguised himself as a prostitute... an oiran, so... we are now splitting into two groups."

"You guys pretend to be customers and investigate ordinary prostitutes... I'll go infiltrate and investigate the oiran who are hard to see directly..."

Listening to Wolf's plan, Xuan Mi nodded, but Zenitsu next to him was still gloomy. Seeing this, Wolf took out two bags of coins from his arms and continued to speak to the two of them.

“These are the expenses…”

"Okay! Leave it to me!"

At this time, before Xuan Mi took it, Zenitsu, who was originally gloomy, suddenly became colorful. He took a coin bag from the wolf's hand and promised loudly with a smile.

"You change your expression too quickly!"

Not caring at all about Xuanya's complaints, Zenitsu finally knew what it felt like to follow a rich man. Wolf ignored Zenitsu's funny behavior and looked at the two of them seriously.

He took out two crystal blue candies from his arms, gave one to each of them in the doubtful gazes of the two men, and began to speak.

"…If you find an evil spirit…don't confront it head-on. Just crush this candy and run away. Then let me know…"

Hearing the wolf's words, the two men's faces straightened, knowing that this was another magical prop of the wolf like those small pots, and they carefully hid it in their arms.

Seeing the two of them like this, the wolf nodded slightly, then slowly walked towards the prosperous and dangerous place not far away.

..............................

On the other side, there was also a brightly lit place, accompanied by the sound of clanging iron, and sparks splashed, illuminating Yuichir's serious face.

clang!

The hammer in his hand fell, sparks exploded again, and Yuichirō handed the shaped iron tool to the master who would quench it in the next step. He then let out a long breath. Although he was in the high-temperature blacksmith shop, there was not a trace of sweat on his face.

The master blacksmith who was watching from the side applauded and exclaimed in amazement.

"You're amazing, Yunyi-kun... I didn't expect that you could completely learn forging just by watching me demonstrate it once!"

After saying that, he smiled and touched the back of his head, laughing freely.

"I originally thought someone was looking for trouble, haha, I'm sorry!"

Seeing the master chef being so generous, Yunyi didn't say much. He just shook his head gently to indicate that it was okay, and then waited for the next embryo that needed to be forged.

However, during the waiting time, the chef who couldn't rest sighed and took the initiative to talk to Yuanyi.

"Alas... it's just that you are such an outstanding person, but you are leaving after just doing odd jobs for a few days... I really feel sad."

Seeing the master chef's look of regret, Yuanyi apologized softly.

"Feel sorry…"

When the master chef saw this, he smiled and waved his hand, and started chatting with Yuan.

"Speaking of which, the reason why the blacksmith shop was deserted was because the famous blacksmith suddenly got a large sum of money. Not only did he cure his wife and children, but the remaining money was enough for them to live happily for the rest of their lives. You see, everyone's fate is really different!"

Hearing this, as if he thought of something, Yunyi's eyes sank at first, then the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he felt sincerely happy for that family.

Seeing that Yunyi finally smiled, the master chef clapped his hands and said to Yunyi.

"There probably won't be any work tonight, so you should just rest first."

Nodding slightly to show that he understood, Yoriichi was about to leave when Tanjiro's panting voice was heard outside the blacksmith shop.

"Mr. Yunichi, there are no more vacant hotels in this town..."

Frowning, he thought that Tanjiro didn't get a good rest last night, and today he walked all day carrying his brother on his back using the Sun Breathing, so he decided to stay in a hotel and have a good rest tonight.

The master chef beside him saw Yuan's bitter expression, thought for a moment, and spoke.

"There is a dilapidated temple outside the town. I don't know when it was built. There used to be a Buddhist sculpture master living there, but it seems like he hasn't been seen for a long time. If you don't have a hotel, you can go there and take a look."
