Kamado Tanjiro said, "We agreed to wait here, but I didn't see him."
Bai Ye said, "Then we'll forget about him. Let's meet here again tomorrow night."
Kamado Tanjiro nodded. "Okay."
Bai Ye said, "Then I'll be going now!"
Bai Ye's figure flickered, and then he appeared on the street, walking forward.
Bai Ye had no intention of going back to sleep immediately. Instead, he planned to patrol the streets.
Demons acted at night. The later it was, the more likely he was to encounter them.
Moreover, the first half of the night in the pleasure district was too lively. With many eyes watching, it was inconvenient for demons to make a move. Unless they finished their business and the victims no longer wanted to stay in the pleasure district, they could only abduct them secretly.
Therefore, the deep night was the best time for demons to act.
The night was deep and quiet, and the streets were deserted.
If they didn't make a move now, when would they?
However, as he walked forward, Bai Ye didn't encounter anything unusual, until...
A sharp female voice suddenly rang out from a nearby alley.
Bai Ye was startled. Had he found them so quickly? It couldn't be that easy, could it?
As he thought this, Bai Ye quickly walked towards the alley and saw a woman and a man entangled.
During the argument, the man's face showed impatience, and he pushed the woman to the ground.
The woman bit her lip and said, "We had an agreement."
"You damn whore, I'm going back on my word. What can you do to me?" The man spat dismissively at the ground. "Stop bothering me, or I'll kill you."
The man said this as he walked towards the alley entrance.
"What are you looking at?" The man brushed past Bai Ye, bumping his shoulder. "Haven't you seen someone get something for free? Or are you waiting for the next one?"
After saying this, the man snorted and walked forward.
Bai Ye looked at the man's retreating figure, then at the woman.
Judging by their attire, neither of them seemed to be natives of this place but rather chosen ones.
Looking at the woman, who was sobbing with her head down, Bai Ye could roughly guess what had happened.
There were many ways to survive on the world battlefield, but for the weak, the options were not many.
Don't think that even in the worst-case scenario, there were neutral zones to cling to life.
For some people, they didn't even have the ability to reach the neutral zones.
Therefore, the most common method was to risk their lives. With luck, they could earn the capital to survive; with bad luck, they would die.
Alternatively, they could sell their dignity. As long as they were shameless and humbled themselves, living like dogs, while others ate meat, they could eat scraps. With luck, they could also survive.
And for women, using their bodies was also a way.
After all, it was all they had left.
Bai Ye shook his head and prepared to turn away.
He had seen enough of this kind of thing in his previous life.
She was just a woman trying to survive.
But at this moment, the woman seemed to have calmed down. She wiped away her tears and slowly raised her head.
Bai Ye suddenly stopped, his expression showing a hint of surprise.
The woman was beautiful, extremely beautiful.
In fact, Bai Ye thought she was no less beautiful than the courtesans he had seen before. And because she had just been crying, she had an air of pitiable charm about her, making her very captivating.
But this was not the reason for Bai Ye's surprise.
If beauty had value on the world battlefield, then in his previous life, all the chosen ones qualified to participate in the central region wars should have been women.
What surprised Bai Ye was that the woman's appearance seemed somewhat familiar to him.
"Hua Zhixiao?"
Bai Ye truly did not expect to meet the future leader of one of the three major forces, the head of the pleasure district, in such a place.
"The pleasure district, the flower street..."
Bai Ye suddenly understood something.
Many people believed that the pleasure district was named after its leader, Hua Zhixiao.
Hua Zhixiao had taken the name of the pleasure district from her surname.
Now it seemed...
This woman...
Had she risen to prominence in this way?
At the same time, Hua Zhixiao raised her head and met Bai Ye's gaze. She quickly wiped away her tears and tried her best to smile.
"Handsome, I live nearby." Hua Zhixiao got up and deliberately pulled her clothes down a bit. "If you're willing to help me, you can come to my place tonight. How about it?"
Bai Ye tilted his head, staring intently at Hua Zhixiao.
His gaze made Hua Zhixiao feel a little scared, and she involuntarily took half a step back.
Bai Ye suddenly spoke, "How do you want me to help you?"
Hua Zhixiao swallowed. "I won't ask for too much, as long as..."
Bai Ye suddenly raised his hand, making a silencing gesture to Hua Zhixiao.
"Wait for me a moment."
The instant Bai Ye finished speaking...
Zzzt!
Electricity surged from Bai Ye's body, and he suddenly disappeared into thin air.
The previous man had already gone far from the alley, humming a tune, looking very pleased.
After all, that woman was quite yielding.
It was at this moment...
A hand suddenly rested on the man's shoulder.
The man froze, turned around, and saw Bai Ye.
"You again?" The man glanced at Bai Ye and asked, "What do you want... Ah..."
Before the man could finish his words, Bai Ye suddenly reached out, grabbed the man's wrist, and twisted it forcefully, bending the man's arm completely backward.
The crisp sound of bone cracking indicated that the man's wrist bone had completely fractured.
The man clenched his left hand, intending to counterattack, but Bai Ye's speed was clearly much faster than his.
Crack!
Bai Ye kicked the man's knee, directly crushing it.
With the sound of the knee shattering, the man screamed and fell to the ground.
Bai Ye, however, showed no signs of stopping. He stepped on the man's other ankle, and the man screamed again as his ankle was brutally crushed by Bai Ye.
Bai Ye squatted down, grabbed the man's last arm, and said, "Don't yell. It's not good to disturb people late at night."
After saying this, Bai Ye pulled the man up by his arm and slowly walked forward, dragging the man on the ground.
On the other side, Hua Zhixiao stood at the alley entrance, looking confusedly in both directions. Bai Ye's figure was no longer visible.
Hua Zhixiao shook her head, thinking that the person had left.
It was better that he left directly than to take advantage of her and then leave.
But at this moment...
A miserable whimper echoed from one end of the street.
Hua Zhixiao looked up and was astonished to see Bai Ye appear, dragging the man from before behind him.
A trail of bright red blood marked the ground.
Bai Ye arrived in front of Hua Zhixiao and used his Steel Slime to condense and form a "Thunder Fang Fury Beast," tossing it in front of her.
Bai Ye's expression was indifferent as he looked at Hua Zhixiao and said, "Pick it up and kill him."
