Chapter 139 Chapter 139 "Hand over Yumenjiang." ...

139

Li Xiaoqi hugged the quilt and lay comfortably on the bed.

The courtyard arranged by Muzan Kibutsuji is not big but surprisingly comfortable. As long as there are no ghosts disturbing it, it feels like a secluded place.

She thought about waking up every day and opening the door to see the flowers all over the yard, and her anxiety was instantly cured.

Three days have passed since I last returned from the anchor point.

During these three days, Muzan Kibutsuji disappeared again, and Douma was also not there. It seemed that he had been staying in the newly built Eternal Paradise.

I don’t know where the newly built base is. It would be great if a meteorite could destroy it and crush Douma as well, so that he won’t harm women again.

Li Xiaoqi suddenly remembered that in the official book of Demon Slayer, Muzan Kibutsuji seemed to play three human identities at the same time just to find the blue spider lily.

Are you probably "working" outside these days again?

The situation on Dazai Osamu's side has never appeared since the picture on that side disappeared.

However, he would bring food every day and stay with her for a while before returning to the Demon Slayer Corps.

The food was very delicious. It was made by Rengoku Kyojuro's younger brother, who specially asked him to bring it over.

Every time Li Xiaoqi tasted these foods, he would feel happy from the bottom of his heart, and felt that he had not been forgotten by the Demon Slayer Corps.

During these three days, Dazai Osamu's mysterious behavior continued to emerge. For example, when he saw her and Sakata Gintoki sitting in a row on the corridor in a daze, he would deliberately come over and squeeze in between them.

Every time Li Xiaoqi saw Dazai Osamu behaving like this, he would take a deep breath, force himself not to think too much, and brainwash himself into thinking that it was just an act of caring for his teammates.

There was even one time when Dazai Osamu brought her letters from Fushigawa Minoru and Tomioka Giyuu, asking if she was doing well.

At that time, Dazai Osamu handed over the letter reluctantly, with a look of gritted teeth.

Tomioka Giyu's handwriting on the paper was more elegant and easy to recognize, but Busei's handwriting was illegible and it took her a while to make it out.

"Mr. Busikawa must have put a lot of thought into writing these words..."

Li Xiaoqi smiled. The feeling of being cared for made her smile brighter.

The next second, the letter was taken away and torn up by Dazai Osamu.

Li Xiaoqi was stunned watching from the side and immediately slapped Dazai on the back of the head.

Dazai Osamu hugged his head, squatted on the corridor and began to draw circles in a wronged manner.

In response, Li Xiaoqi snorted and ignored him.

Sakata Gintoki held the sakuramochi made by Rengoku Chijuro and rolled his eyes at the two "idiots".

According to Dazai Osamu, the training of the Demon Slayer Corps is still proceeding in an orderly manner these days. The Nine Pillars have a good grasp of the Kitakura branch and have begun to select teams to learn it.

Li Xiaoqi turned over lazily, pouted his lips and showed a lost look.

Bastard Dazai...

She cursed inwardly.

Suddenly, the voice of Administrator June sounded in my mind.

"A new day has begun, and anchor Xiaoqi has just woken up from his sleep. What props should I use to increase the favorability of the target?

A.520 Surprise Gift Pack

B. Favorability Accelerator

C. Boys and girls change

Li Xiaoqi stared at the ceiling and sneered.

"Oh."

On the live broadcast interface, viewers are actively making choices.

Sure enough, one minute later the administrator June informed the result.

"Based on the comment selection, please use the item in option B."

"Favorability Booster x1 used."

Li Xiaoqi lowered his hands, stood up numbly, and really wanted to sigh.

But when he thought of what Sakata Gintoki said, that sighing all the time would drive away his luck, he forced himself to hold it back.

She opened the door and the fresh scent of flowers filled her nose.

In the corner of the courtyard, the crops on the soil are full of vitality, with lush branches and leaves, entering the next stage of growth.

In the chicken coop next to the soil, the yellow chicks separated from their tender and cute bodies and turned into noisy little chickens.

Li Xiaoqi took a deep breath and dispelled the boredom in his heart.

"Next, the favorability accelerator is only valid for 24 hours. What should I do?"

She tilted her head, crossed her arms and talked to herself.

While thinking about it, Li Xiaoqi walked to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Speaking of this, she was surprised that there was water available in Infinite City. Every day when she woke up, there would be enough water in the courtyard for her to wash and bathe.

Li Xiaoqi looked at the buckets of clean water in the woodshed and sighed, "It seems ghosts still like cleanliness."

A low laugh came from behind him. Li Xiaoqi was startled and turned around quickly.

Muzan Kibutsuji was wearing a black kimono and leaning against a pillar with his eyebrows curved in a smile.

He put on the mask of gentleness again, and even there was a slight smile in his eyes.

Li Xiaoqi coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Sorry..."

"I asked Akaza to fetch this water from the spring every day, specifically for Miss Nana's use."

"Actually, everyone cleans up after themselves, especially after eating."

Muzan Kibutsuji smiled, and a red light flashed in his eyes for a moment.

Eat...eat?

Li Xiaoqi swallowed nervously and laughed twice.

Seeing Li Xiaoqi's nervous expression, Muzan Kibutsuji smiled softly, "Do you think it's ugly for us ghosts to feed on humans?"

Li Xiaoqi's body stiffened and his back began to feel cold.

She met Muzan Kibutsuji's eyes, arched her brows calmly, and said, "Didn't Mr. Muzan say it? The humans in this world are very ugly. The demons only eat the flesh and blood of animals and will not easily harm humans. Yet, humans have repeatedly invaded the demon territory and brutally killed Mr. Muzan's fellow demons..."

Li Xiaoqi showed a sad expression, stopped talking, and looked at Muzan Kibutsuji cautiously.

Muzan Kibutsuji groaned and stared into Li Xiaoqi's eyes.

"I don't think I made myself clear enough?"

Li Xiaoqi continued calmly, "From what I've observed, Mr. Muzan is a good man... a good ghost. He won't get into trouble with humans unless it's a critical moment. However, ghosts like him will suffer a lot due to lack of fresh flesh and blood. The only solution is to eat animals."

Muzan Kibutsuji widened the smile on his lips and took a step closer to Li Xiaoqi.

He raised his hand and gently stroked Li Xiaoqi's cheek, forcing her to raise her head.

"What a good kid."

The low voice of Muzan Kibutsuji gradually approached. Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes wide and nervously grabbed his sleeve.

His breath hit my face, so cold that it felt almost devoid of warmth.

A rich scent of incense filled the air, as if careful use of spices was made to cover up some odor.

Li Xiaoqi pursed his lips and almost sneezed because of the fragrance.

To cover up what smell, you don’t have to think about it to know that it is the smell of human blood.

Realizing this, she nearly retched.

I really want to push him away!

Li Xiaoqi looked at the red eyes that were getting closer and closer, and the taut string in his mind was about to break.

Muzan Kibutsuji raised his chin, his lips almost touching the center of her white forehead.

On the live broadcast interface, some of the viewers who were watching the live broadcast began to lose their defense.

[Save my life! Qiqi, you can’t do this!]

Xiao Qi’s fists were almost digging into her flesh. She must be in great pain—

[Push Muzan away quickly!]

[Is my worldview wrong? I suddenly think this picture is a bit pleasing to the eye]

[No matter how pleasing to the eyes, it’s unacceptable, my leader, kill me! ]

【A Yin, come quickly——】

[Xiao Qi raised her hand, she wanted to push Wuzan away! ]

As the barrage of comments was madly scrolling across the screen, Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes wide and backed away from Muzan Kibutsuji in panic.

"Mr. Wuzan?!"

She cried out in surprise.

When Muzan Kibutsuji saw Li Xiaoqi jumping like a little rabbit, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Miss Nana is so cute."

Li Xiaoqi was stunned and met his gaze.

For some reason, she felt that the smile on Muzan Kibutsuji's gentle mask now had a hint of sincerity.

"Tick-tick! Muzan Kibutsuji's favorability has increased by 10 points. The favorability accelerator has taken effect, doubling the favorability."

"Congratulations, streamer Xiao Qi! Muzan Kibutsuji's favorability has reached 90. We're just one step away from completing the guide. Please keep up the good work."

In his mind, the words of the administrator June made Li Xiaoqi stand there in a daze.

She didn't seem to do anything?

The actions of refusing to allow Muzan Kibutsuji to get close to you have increased instead?

"I've been busy lately, investigating the whereabouts of the Demon Slayer Corps."

"Their actions have been a bit strange these days. Some of the patrol team members are missing. I wonder what they're secretly doing..."

Muzan Kibutsuji frowned slightly, his expression became much colder, and a look of disgust appeared between his brows.

Li Xiaoqi's mouth twitched and he looked at Muzan Kibutsuji in surprise.

Is he explaining to me why he hasn't shown up these past few days?

Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and Sakata Gintoki appeared at Li Xiaoqi's door with his messy hair.

He was wearing a light blue yukata kimono, which was the spare clothes Li Xiaoqi took out from his backpack.

Li Xiaoqi mechanically turned his head and looked at Sakata Gintoki for help.

Sakata Gintoki noticed her gaze and secretly gave her a thumbs up, giving her a thumbs up.

Li Xiaoqi wanted to cry but had no tears, so he covered his face with his hands.

Muzan Kibutsuji widened his smile and asked, "How is living here, Mr. Gin?"

Sakata Gintoki laughed out loud, "Very good, Mr. Muzan, it couldn't be better."

He walked over to Li Xiaoqi, pulled her over, and acted like a concerned brother.

"But let me say this first, Nana will go back after completing her mission."

The smile on Muzan Kibutsuji's face remained unchanged, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes when he looked at Li Xiaoqi.

"I know."

Li Xiaoqi gripped the ground with his toes and kept shouting for help in his heart.

"Um...Mr. Muzan, what's the matter with you coming here?"

Muzan Kibutsuji was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.

"Let's see Miss Nana's research progress."

"Just now in the courtyard, I saw that the plants were growing well. They seemed to be making good progress?"

After hearing this, Li Xiaoqi gave a thumbs up and nodded heavily.

"Yes, if nothing goes wrong, the blue spider lily will be able to be synthesized in another week!"

Muzan Kibutsuji asked, "Don't we need the soil from where it grew?"

Li Xiaoqi looked at Sakata Gintoki and said, "Don't worry, my brother gave Doraemon a new exploration tool. It's the latest tool developed by the bureau, and Doraemon has already gone out to look for it."

Muzan Kibutsuji groaned, crossed his arms, and looked puzzled.

"I see... But we can't find Mr. Doraemon's whereabouts. Ah, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried about his safety."

After saying that, he looked over with an inquiring gaze, trying to confirm the question again.

"That's normal. Doraemon is a bionic robot with a special device that blocks its whereabouts. Only the Space-Time Administration can find that guy's whereabouts. Even Nana and I don't know."

Sakata Gintoki yawned, patted Li Xiaoqi's head, and started telling lies with his eyes open.

Li Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly on the side, "Thank you Mr. Wuzan for your concern."

Muzan Kibutsuji opened his lips slightly, and the thin figure of Li Xiaoqi was reflected in his eyes.

Her long silver-white hair fell over her shoulders, draped over her goose-yellow kimono.

The cherry blossoms on her kimono were embroidered with gold thread, emitting a faint glow as she moved.

"Why don't you wear the jade hairpin I gave you?"

For some unknown reason, Muzan Kibutsuji asked.

The moment he finished speaking, he was very surprised that someone would care about such an insignificant matter.

Li Xiaoqi was startled, remembering that Dazai Osamu had taken the jade hairpin away and never brought it back. He immediately explained dryly, "I left it in the room..."

Suddenly, Muzan Kibutsuji's expression changed and he quickly turned his gaze towards the courtyard.

The woodshed is located in a remote corner of the mansion, and you can't see what's happening in the courtyard from here.

Suddenly, a series of warnings sounded in my mind.

"Warning! Crops are destroyed. Damage level: 60%. Please repair the damage immediately!"

Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki opened their eyes wide and ran quickly towards the courtyard.

Muzan Kibutsuji appeared beside Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki in an instant, grabbed their hands, and flashed into the courtyard.

A strong airflow came over, and the crops in the corner of the yard fell to the ground. The chicken coop was destroyed, and the chicks lay on the ground bleeding.

Above the soil, a species that did not belong to this world stood there.

It was a non-human creature, short in stature, with bluish-gray skin and a head shaped like a crater.

That is a special-grade cursed spirit, Louhu.

There were two strange-looking ghosts standing next to him. One of them had a body that looked like it was in a vase, with its facial features reversed and its eyes located where its lips should be. The other one had a hunched body and a big bump on its forehead, looking like a thin and short old man with no offensive power.

They are the Upper Rank Four Hantengu and the Upper Rank Five Yuhu, who have not been seen yet.

"ah--!!!"

Li Xiaoqi screamed and angrily said, "What the hell did you do to my tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, potatoes and chicken!!!"

Sakata Gintoki held his face in his hands, his face was colorless, and he looked like he was screaming in a daze.

Muzan Kibutsuji showed a look of shock, "It's not a human, nor a ghost, what is it?"

"Bantian Gou, Yuhu, what on earth is going on?!"

He showed an angry look and attacked his subordinates with astonishing pressure.

Hantengou and Yuhu were so angry when they saw the ghost Butsuji Muzan that they were so scared that they couldn't utter a word.

Lou Hu turned around and looked surprised when he saw Li Xiaoqi.

"You're not from that time..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Li Xiaoqi and the silver-haired man running towards him angrily.

!!!

Lou Hu remembered what happened last time, his face immediately changed, and he jumped into the air.

Li Xiaoqi took out a rocket launcher from his backpack and fired at Louhu with a ferocious look on his face.

Sakata Gintoki went around behind Rokuko, grabbed Lake Toya and jumped up.

Lou Hu opened his eyes wide, "Hey, calm down!"

"Calm down, sister—"

Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki said in unison.

Suddenly, a wooden sign flew out from the corner, and Dazai Osamu appeared in the courtyard, making a throwing gesture.

His face was dark, and the Elizabeth leather suit turned into a bandit with a cigarette in his mouth and a skull eye patch on his right eye.

Facing attacks from three sides, Lou Hu mobilized the strength in his body and wanted to use spells to resist, but suddenly his face froze and he showed an expression of disbelief.

"What happened?! My cursed power disappeared?"

Boom——

The wooden sign hit Louhu's forehead right on the ground. Louhu fell from mid-air and lay on the ground in a daze.

The shell landed accurately on him, and he was instantly covered in black.

Li Xiaoqi, Dazai Osamu and Sakata Gintoki stepped forward and each kicked Louhu's body madly.

Muzan Kibutsuji blinked slowly. It was the first time he saw Li Xiaoqi so irritable.

Bantian Gou and Yuhu were trembling and shaking with fear.

"H-What should we do? Lord Muzan never lets us come to this place..."

Muzan Kibutsuji appeared in front of them, grabbed their necks, and a murderous look appeared on his face.

"What's going on?"

"Louhu."

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.

Li Xiaoqi paused and quickly looked towards the source of the sound.

Under the cherry tree, a man in a cassock stood, and the cherry blossoms brushed against the man's shoulders and slowly fell onto the grass.

There was a seam on the man's head, and his shoulder-length hair was half tied up, trembling slightly as he walked.

Li Xiaoqi's hands were shaking and he was so shocked that he was speechless.

Geto Suguru...that's not right.

That is a noose.

Sakata Gintoki's expression was serious, and he stopped kicking. "Eh, am I dazzled? I actually saw Suyu Brain Flower-kun appear in the Infinite Castle?"

"I found it, I found it. It was so easy for me to find it."

"Geto Suguru" put his hands into his wide sleeves and said with a smile.

What exactly happened?

The cursed boss has appeared in the Infinite City!

Summer Oil-kun, you're not dead after all, are you?!

Li Xiaoqi took a step back suddenly, and his eyes instantly turned red when he thought of Xia Yujie's smile.

"Ms. Nana, you are the one who can change destiny. For you, traveling through space has cost me a lot of energy."

"Hand over Yumenjiang."

Louhu got up, turned his neck, and complained to Nozomi: "Really, you didn't tell me that I can't use cursed power here."

"Sorry, sorry, it's a different world after all."

The noose slowly came over, and at the same time, an oval black hole appeared under the cherry tree.

Li Xiaoqi frowned slightly, sensing the dangerous aura coming from the black hole.

How can the cursed spirit that returns to the cursed world have the ability to travel through time and space?

Return the prison gate?

The most she has here is a fake prison gate made by the system...
