Chapter 152 Chapter 152 Return to the Demon Slayer Corps.

152

The moment he stepped through the portal, Li Xiaoqi fell down on the grass, staring blankly at the small white flowers on the grass.

There was a lot of noise all around, and from time to time there were popping sounds like fireworks.

"Xiao Qi!"

"Xiao Qi——"

Someone was calling her in her ear, very close.

Then, someone held her shoulders and the words of others floated into her ears.

"Ms. Nana, thank you for your hard work."

The sound sounded like a spring breeze, or like someone who had been walking in the desert for a long time suddenly drinking a cup of clean water, making people tremble both physically and mentally.

Li Xiaoqi suddenly came back to his senses and met a pair of gentle eyes.

She slowly opened her eyes, "Mr. Ubuyashiki..."

Ubuyashiki Yoya smiled gently and extended his hand towards Li Xiaoqi.

"Welcome back."

Li Xiaoqi was stunned and suddenly realized that many eyes were falling on him.

On the corridor, the nine pillars gathered together and looked at Li Xiaoqi.

"Relax, you've already escaped from Infinite City."

Dazai Osamu put away Elizabeth's leather case at some point, pressed her shoulder and whispered.

Sakata Gintoki yawned, sat cross-legged on the ground, and his shoulders relaxed a lot.

"Being a spy under the nose of the big boss is, I have to say, exhausting both physically and mentally."

Dazai glanced at him and said, "I see Mr. Gin doing nothing but lying on the porch picking his nose every day. He doesn't do anything serious."

Sakata Gintoki showed a look of dissatisfaction and said, "Hey, hey, hey, at least I participated in your messy settings, okay?"

"But, ahem, none of our abilities have ever been seen by Muzan Kibutsuji, and they aren't blood demon arts. After a lot of deception, we finally convinced them."

Mitsuri Ganlu Temple covered her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Li Xiaoqi with bright eyes.

"Ms. Nana, transformed into a ghost, is very beautiful. Even though she is a ghost, she looks like a flower fairy."

She held her face, a blush appeared on her face, and her eyes almost shot out love.

Shinobu Kocho lowered her eyes to hide the discomfort in them, "The smell of a ghost..."

"Butterfly, relax. That girl just drank the ghost-transforming potion, she didn't really become a ghost. Besides, she basically stayed in a dangerous place like Infinite City. She must have been under a lot of pressure."

When Busei saw Li Xiaoqi deep in thought, he couldn't help but speak softly after hearing what Shinobu Kocho said.

Shinobu Kocho was slightly stunned and looked at Busei-san in surprise.

"Mr. Busikawa, this is really not something you would say."

Busei was startled, and immediately looked away uncomfortably at the night sky.

The moon hangs high in the sky, shining brightly, making the stars appear dim.

"No, no!"

He replied hastily, his expression tense.

Mitsuri Kanroji smiled with her eyes curved, as if she had discovered a new continent, and the smile on her face was quite teasing.

Beside her, Iguro Obanai closed her eyes and looked at Kanroji Mitsuri silently, seemingly uninterested in everything in front of her.

Tokito Muichiro was sitting on the porch holding a bowl of soup, eating the sauced radish bite by bite.

"ah."

Suddenly, he tilted his head and said, "I think I've seen them somewhere before."

When Dazai Osamu heard his words, he looked back with a helpless look between his brows.

"Hey, Muichiro-kun, I see you almost every day, right? After all, I'm your teacher, right? Why can't you remember my face yet?"

Tokito Muichiro: "..."

"No response, it seems to be a—hurt!"

Sakata Gintoki was dubbing Tokito Muichiro when he was suddenly hit on the head by Li Xiaoqi.

He covered his head and huddled aside, looking at the Demon Slayer Corps Lord and the Nine Pillars through the silver hair, and sighed: "I never thought I would be able to meet you all in my lifetime."

To everyone, Sakata Gintoki's words were considered as a token of gratitude for surviving the Infinite Castle disaster.

"Gin-san, I heard from Dazai-san that you are a new traveler on this journey. You have been commissioned by the gods of Teyvat to form a team with Nana-san and Dazai-san to collect elemental power together."

"There's no need to be restrained in the Demon Slayer Corps. Just do what makes you feel comfortable. I'll arrange your room next to Miss Nana and Mr. Dazai."

Ubuyashiki Amane folded her hands in front of her and bowed slightly.

Sakata Gintoki had a blank expression on his face. He stood up uncomfortably and bowed in return.

"You're welcome. Please give me your guidance."

He laughed twice, trying to calm down the psychological shock.

Hey, what kind of weird setting did you make the beautiful Lady Amane from the Demon Slayer Corps come up with?!

Receiving Sakata Gintoki's shocked gaze, Dazai Osamu raised the corners of his lips and revealed a matter-of-fact smile.

Sakata Gintoki: ...I'm really impressed by you guys.

Tomioka Giyu opened his lips slightly, swallowed the words back silently, and his tense face relaxed a little.

Uzui Tengen folded his arms, jumped down from the corridor, and came in front of Li Xiaoqi in a few steps.

"Hahaha, you look like you just came out of a den of tigers and wolves."

He grabbed Li Xiaoqi's hand and placed it in Ubuyashiki Yoya's hand.

"How long do you want my lord to maintain this posture?"

Ubuyashiki Yoya grabbed Li Xiaoqi's hand and pulled her up with force.

Suddenly, a clear voice appeared in my ears.

"Mmm, you did great."

The next second, Li Xiaoqi felt a gentle push on his back, and he stood up easily with this push.

She subconsciously turned around and met Rengoku Kyojuro's brilliant smile.

Li Xiaoqi smiled, and the worry between his brows completely disappeared.

On the side, Ubuyashiki Amane raised her hand to cover her lips and chuckled elegantly.

Li Xiaoqi stood up straight and finally came back to his senses.

"Sorry, sorry, I felt like my brain was hollowed out after I relaxed, and I didn't react. I'm so rude."

Ubuyashiki Kazuya shook his head slightly, his tone gentle.

"No, the information that Miss Nana passed on to us has been very helpful to us."

Li Xiaoqi looked into his eyes, and the tenderness contained therein was like real warm jade, which was soothing to look at.

Unlike Muzan Kibutsuji, although his eyes are gentle, the depths are like a void, icy cold.

Sure enough, she still likes to stay in the Demon Slayer Corps.

"No need to thank me, this is what we should do."

Li Xiaoqi laughed.

Ubuyashiki Yoya was stunned and chuckled twice.

"Ms. Nana, you're welcome."

"Nana!"

Mitsuri Kanroji's voice was heard, and the next second Li Xiaoqi felt someone hugging him.

Her cheek touched the soft skin, and Mitsuri Kanroji rubbed against her cheek again and again.

"Wow, it's so cold!"

Suddenly, two hot rice balls were stuffed into Li Xiaoqi's arms. She blinked and looked at Rengoku Kyojuro who was standing beside her.

"This is the sweet potato rice ball that Senjuro just made. It's delicious!"

Rengoku Kyojuro said this, giving a proud thumbs-up.

Li Xiaoqi laughed out loud and said happily, "Thank you all for the food you gave me during this period. It was delicious, especially the food made by Qian Shoulangjun. It was really great."

"By the way, why is everyone gathered in the courtyard?"

Ubuyashiki Yoya widened the smile on his lips, "Mr. Dazai told us that the elemental power gathered in the Infinite Castle has been collected, and Miss Nana can return."

"So I specially gathered everyone to welcome Miss Nana back."

"Besides, everyone has been training very hard these days, so this is a good opportunity to relax."

Li Xiaoqi was slightly stunned, and his eyes became redder.

"Thanks."

Mitsuri Ganlu Temple hugged Li Xiaoqi's head and stroked her hair like coaxing a child.

"Okay, okay, Nana, your undercover life in Infinite City must be very tiring. We have prepared a lot of delicious food for you."

She showed an expectant look and pulled Li Xiaoqi into the house.

[To be honest, I didn't expect that Muzan's dry ice, Biyangqi's dark cuisine, and Amu's egg custard would appear at this time.]

【Muzan: Diarrhea set meal, I really will thank you】

[Nutritious spicy chicken soup, the effect is to reduce 20% of health points, I really laugh and get rich]

[The Infinite City dungeon is finally over. I'm really worried about Xiao Qi.]

[That’s right, Qiqi’s expression just now was almost broken]

[It feels like Qiqi has been enduring all this time. She clearly doesn't like Muzan and the others, but she still pretends to be nice to them.]

[Being an undercover agent in Infinite City is incredibly dangerous. Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle. Luckily, I managed to escape.]

[By the way, I’m very curious about what kind of hallucinations Muzan saw hahahaha]

[System, is there any CG? If so, I'll buy it.]

【I want to see Muzan’s reaction later】

Hello everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps! They all care about Qiqi.

【Ayin: Wait, it seems like no one cares about me】

[Gin, hahahahaha, I don’t doubt what Zai said at all (dog head)]

The audience in the live broadcast room has become much more active. The number of viewers in the upper right corner of the live broadcast screen has increased a lot recently. The barrage of comments is dense and quickly passes by.

"The dynamic CG - "The Witness of the Blue Bana" has been generated. Welcome to purchase it."

A translucent virtual screen suddenly popped up in front of my eyes, and CG content began to play.

In the midst of the green lilies of the red spider lily, Naruto stood with her head bowed, holding the shamisen, while Akaza knelt on one knee and saluted.

Suddenly a hand stretched out from the flowers. Muzan Kibutsuji's face turned pale and he slowly stood up, holding his stomach.

His body was hunched, and his brows were furrowed as if he was enduring great pain.

"Master Wuhan?"

Akaza shouted in surprise.

"You seem unwell."

Then, Mingnu said.

Muzan Kibutsuji took a step forward expressionlessly, and suddenly a popping sound came from his body.

In an instant, he opened his eyes wide and his figure quickly disappeared from the spot.

Akaza was stunned and hurried forward to check.

Suddenly, he found a sticky... thing where Muzan Kibutsuji was originally standing.

Brownish-yellow in color, with an extremely unpleasant odor.

Mingnu followed and was stunned for a moment.

Just like that, Akaza and Naruto were so shocked that their souls left their bodies and their bodies were as if they were petrified and they didn't move at all.

The scene stopped abruptly and Li Xiaoqi was stunned.

She turned around mechanically and saw Sakata Gintoki with his back turned, trembling and pounding the ground frantically.

Dazai puffed up his cheeks and covered his lips.

"puff."

Li Xiaoqi's mouth twitched, and he turned his head away and bit his lower lip to hold back his laughter.

[It is tragic that the dignified Ghost King has fallen to this point. It is truly tragic.]

【Hahahahahaha!!!】

[Oh my god, I laughed so hard that my stomach hurts]

【This CG, if not now, when will it be purchased?】

[Witnessed Muzan's diarrhea hahahahaha]

Purchase prompts kept popping up below the live broadcast interface, and more and more gloating comments appeared on the screen.

Uzui Tengen looked at Li Xiaoqi, Sakata Gintoki, and Dazai Osamu laughing for no apparent reason, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with them?"

The others looked at each other in confusion.

A sound was heard not far away, and two figures slowly walked towards us under the moonlight.

Shinobu Kocho was the first to react. She took a deep breath and loosened her clenched fists.

Li Xiaoqi coughed lightly, suppressed his smile, and rubbed his cheeks.

She looked at the person who came, and two voices, one male and one female, appeared in her eyes.

The hem of the woman's purple kimono fluttered, the moonlight shone on her beautiful face, and her red lips looked particularly charming under the moonlight.

Next to the woman was a young man with short dark green hair, a furrowed brow, and a stern face like an old man.

Tamayo and Yushiro.

A look of surprise flashed across Li Xiaoqi's eyes. It was the first time he really saw them.

I heard from Dazai Osamu earlier that they were invited by Ubuyashiki Kōya, not only to help cover up the site where the Demon Slayer Corps trained in thermal weapons, but also to develop a "poison" against Muzan Kibutsuji together with Shinobu Kocho.

"Thank you, Lord Ubuyashiki, for inviting us to the banquet, but..."

Tamayo bowed slightly, ready to say no.

Before she could finish her words, Ubuyashiki Yoya interrupted her and introduced Li Xiaoqi and Sakata Gintoki.

"These two are Mr. Dazai's partners, and they provided very important information during this operation."

"Could it be that the previous reports on Muzan Kibutsuji and the Upper-rank Blood Demon Art were provided by this Miss Nana?"

Zhu Shi showed a surprised expression and looked at Li Xiaoqi.

Li Xiaoqi raised the corner of his lips and said with a polite smile: "It's just a small favor."

As she spoke, white spots of light appeared on her body, her long silver-white hair turned black from the roots, her red eyes were covered with brown, and the temperature of her body gradually rose.

The breath of ghosts faded, and the breath of humans emerged.

"Wait, now we're human?"

Yushiro cried out in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Tamayo looked at Ubuyashiki Kōya and sighed, "I've heard about it before, but I was surprised to see it in person."

She looked at Li Xiaoqi with complicated eyes and sighed almost inaudibly.

Yushiro noticed Tamayo's mood, and worry flashed across his face, "Sir Tamayo..."

Zhu Shi raised the corners of his lips and stretched out his hand towards Li Xiaoqi.

"I'm Tamayo, and this is my assistant Yushiro. Please give me your guidance."

Li Xiaoqi held Zhu Shi's hand and nodded slightly.

"I'm Nana."

Sakata Gintoki came over and looked at Tamayo with admiration.

"Um...I'm Yin, please give me your guidance."

He smiled with an expectant look on his face.

Tamayo responded politely and shook his hand.

Suddenly, Sakata Gintoki turned around with a smile, looked at his hands and murmured: "I shook Miss Tamayo's hand, why don't I wash my hands tonight."

When Yushiro heard this, he immediately got furious.

"Master Tamayo, please stay away from that man, he's a pervert!"

When Sakata Gintoki heard this, he was unhappy.

"What did you say?! You're the pervert—"

Li Xiaoqi looked at Sakata Gintoki and Yushiro arguing, then turned to look at Dazai Osamu.

"Where are Tanjiro and the others?"

Dazai Osamu walked over to Li Xiaoqi and said in a low voice, "I was too tired from the training during the day. I've already rested."

Amidst the noisy sounds, the atmosphere that had become tense due to Tamayo's appearance suddenly broke open and became noisy.

Dazai Osamu groaned, "This Mr. Gin is truly incredible."

Li Xiaoqi curved his eyebrows and smiled brightly.

She wiped her warm cheeks and smiled contentedly.

"The human body is still better."

Dazai Osamu chuckled and raised his hand to pat Li Xiaoqi on the head.

Suddenly, he pinched the flesh on Li Xiaoqi's cheek and pulled it to the side.

"I think so too."

He leaned close to her ear and whispered in a low voice.

The breath brushed past his face, Li Xiaoqi blushed, and he took a step to the side.

She glared at Dazai Osamu, puffed up her cheeks and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing?"

Amidst the noise, Dazai Osamu curled his lips and smiled, "I didn't do anything."

Ubuyashiki Yoya looked at everyone with a smile, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's go in."

"Ms. Tamayo and Mr. Yushiro are also here."

Tamayo and Yushiro looked stunned and stood there without moving.

Ubuyashiki Amane raised her hand and pressed Tamayo's shoulder, pushing her inside.

"Everyone has seen Ms. Tamayo's efforts these days."

The nine pillars had different expressions, but no one spoke out of opposition tacitly.

After a while, the door of the Japanese-style room was closed and the hot air climbed up to the eaves.

Birds chirped in the courtyard, and after a moment of silence, the house suddenly became lively.

"King's Game! Hahahaha—I'm the King!"

Sakata Gintoki's spirited voice came out.

"Master Tamayo, don't play this dirty game. You absolutely cannot play it—Master Tamayo!"

"You don't understand, this is called an icebreaker game."

"We are all adults, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"No, no, no, there are still minors!"

"The kid is sitting at the next table, so don't be afraid."

"This time I'm the king."

"My lord, you are so powerful!"

"Ganlu Temple, you can't kiss her——"

"Why? Iguro-kun, are you even jealous of women?"

"no!"

The light fell on the paper door, and several figures moved around, swaying back and forth accompanied by the sound of talking.

"tasty--"

In the darkness of the night, Rengoku Kyojuro's shouts were particularly loud.
