Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Chapter 184 A First Encounter at Mount Natagumo: An Ordinary Day

Li Lei dusted himself off, pretending nothing had happened, and then Xiao Wu quickly followed him to the ground.

But what greeted him was Li Lei's forced smile, his eyes filled with a hint of coldness.

"Little Wu, come down!"

Li Lei: (???)

Holy crap, what is Master trying to do? Is he going to eat me? But I'm not human either.

"Master, why are you looking at me like that?" Little Wu took a few steps back and said nervously.

"It's nothing, just wondering if you've gained weight."

Something's not right. Feeling a chill run down his spine, Little Crow retreated again and again.

"Stop right there, or I'll pluck all your feathers off."

Upon hearing its master threaten it with its own feathers, the little bird immediately stopped moving.

"Yes! That's a good boy/girl."

Li Lei stepped forward, stroked Xiao Wu's head, and asked softly:

"What did you just see?"

Facing Li Lei's fixed, red-glowing eyes, Xiao Wu instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"It's nothing, I didn't see anything."

At this moment, Xiao Wu was full of survival instinct and did not mention a word about Li Lei's ugly behavior just now.

"Hmm! Little Wu is such a good boy. Remember what you said, you didn't see anything."

Sensing someone's arrival, Li Lei gently patted Xiao Wu's head and smiled kindly.

Soon, Ten'i Moka arrived quickly, accompanied by the Chihiro and Chigusa siblings.

"tired!"

Seeing that Li Lei was tired, Tianyi Mengxiang happily rushed forward and hugged him tightly.

Having not seen Li Lei for several months, Tianyi Mengxiang's excitement was beyond words, and she kept checking Li Lei to see if he was injured.

Upon seeing that it was Li Lei, Chigusa, who had initially thought it was an enemy intruder, instantly calmed down.

Gao Xing and her younger sister Qianxun, who arrived later, called out to Li Lei, "My lord! You're back."

"Ok!"

Li Lei, who was carefully observing and rubbing his face in Ama-i Moka's hands, responded with a sound to indicate that he had heard her.

"You're tired. You've lost weight in the months I haven't seen you."

After examining Li Lei's body, Ten'i Moka frowned slightly and said to Li Lei with heartache.

Really? How could a ghost like myself possibly lose weight? Li Lei was puzzled. How could he not know he had lost weight?

"Sister Mengxiang, you're mistaken. I'm a ghost, so no matter how much I eat, my weight won't change much," Li Lei explained.

"I'm tired, come and drink some of my blood to replenish yourself."

Ignoring Li Lei's explanation, Ten'i Moka exposed her fair neck and pulled Li Lei's head to rest on her neck.

Looking at his older sister, Ten'i Moka's, slender, jade-like neck, Li Lei originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Ten'i Moka's expression that said she would be unhappy if he didn't eat it.

Li Lei could only open his small mouth and drink two mouthfuls without hesitation. As the diluted blood entered his body, Li Lei felt comfortable all over.

At this point, Li Lei discovered that, apart from rare blood, other human flesh or blood no longer held much appeal for him.

Sure enough, eating too well has made him a picky eater.

Li Lei resisted the allure of the rare blood, released his mouth from Tianyi Mengxiang's neck, and stuck out his tongue to lick the small amount of blood oozing from the small hole on his sister Tianyi Mengxiang's neck that looked like the teeth marks of a rare blood demon.

Feeling tired, she only drank two sips of her own blood. Tianyi Moka was a little unhappy, but no matter how much she said she was tired, she refused to drink another sip.

"You're tired. Have another sip. You must be very hungry after months, right?"

"No need, Moka-nee, I've already had my fill. Besides, if you want more, there's Chigusa and Chihiro too."

Upon hearing Li Lei's words, Chihiro's eyes lit up, and she skipped and hopped to Li Lei's side, imitating Ten'i Moka by showing her neck, eagerly anticipating Li Lei's arrival.

"My lord, please enjoy."

Chihiro blushed slightly and looked at Li Lei with bright, sparkling eyes.

Ten'i Moka frowned as she watched Chihiro mimic her, but said nothing.

Li Lei, already feeling a bit hungry because of the rare blood from Amahisa Moka, couldn't help but move closer to Chihiro.

As Li Lei approached, just when Chihiro thought that Lord Lei was about to bite her neck...

I only felt a coolness in my arm, followed by slight pain in two spots.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that Li Lei hadn't attacked her neck, but instead raised his arm to suck her blood.

Chihiro was quite disappointed when she realized that the adults hadn't hurt her neck.

When it came to Chihiro's brother Chigusa, Chihiro thought that Rui would treat her the same way and suck blood from her brother's arm, but she was wrong.

Suddenly, Li Lei's right fingernails grew longer and plunged straight into Qian Cao's chest. The fresh, thin blood that flowed out was absorbed directly by Li Lei's arm.

Qiancao was genuinely startled by Li Lei's actions. He almost thought he was going to die. Only after realizing that he felt no other abnormalities besides bleeding and slight pain did he feel relieved.

Chihiro, standing nearby, burst into laughter at her brother Chigusa's actions.

Ten'i Moka was quite helpless about Lei's actions, but when it was Chigusa's turn, she suddenly got playful and scared him.

Chigusa: ...( ＿ ＿)ノ｜, I was scared. Don't do that again, he has a heart condition.

The hazy night passed by in the midst of their joyful revelry.
