Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Chapter 149 Nakime, the Guide

Following Nakime's guidance, Li Lei arrived at the house where Muzan was located in the Infinite Castle.

Looking at the two shadows cast under the bamboo curtain by the room's light, it was obvious who they were.

The only one who could have a relatively equal relationship with Muzan was Upper Moon One, Kokushibo. Due to the strength of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the ceiling of combat power, and the fact that they had both been cut by Yoriichi, the two patients with scars in their hearts had a sense of mutual respect.

Upper Moon One, Kokushibo, is here too! Li Lei is a little confused about what Muzan is up to.

Is the intention to use Kokushibo to reprimand him and give him a warning?

But wouldn't that complicate things? As the Demon King, Muzan should, probably, or at least personally handle such matters.

Is Muzan going to kill him? No way! What he did shouldn't be that serious, right?

Li Lei's brain was working non-stop, trying to come up with an answer, but due to Muzan's fickle nature, he couldn't figure it out.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, half of my body is still on Mount Natagumo. Even if the worst happens, I won't die."

The carefree Li Lei was fearless. Even if he faced Muzan next, he wouldn't be afraid, since he wouldn't die anyway, at most he would lose some power.

Using his newly acquired Blood Demon Art, the Memory-Changing Demon Eye, Li Lei acquired a wealth of knowledge about biology and medicine in Japan. He then used this knowledge to modify his physical body, upgrading his Parasitic Blood Demon Art.

He can now be reborn by transferring his power and soul to his body left outside before he dies.

Although the conditions for rebirth are harsh, it can be said that Li Lei has achieved a unique feat of surviving being beheaded by the Nichirin Blade.

At this moment, he felt as if he had no more shackles in his heart, and his body and mind were extremely relaxed. Facing Muzan, who might punish him, Li Lei was not flustered at all, even if Upper Moon One Kokushibo was added to the mix.

"Lord Muzan, I've brought Lower Moon One Rui."

Nakime spoke calmly and powerfully to Muzan, her tone natural and coherent.

"Yo—Nakime, I feel your heart suddenly beating faster. Are you afraid of Lord Muzan?!"

Li Lei played with the eyeball clone in his hand, and looked at Nakime, who was waiting outside to deliver the message, with a smile on his face.

Li Lei's gaze towards Nakime at this moment was incredibly sincere and friendly.

Nakime: "I...I didn't!"

Nakime spoke with some emotion, her voice much louder than usual, attempting to mask her fear with her loud voice.

Faced with Li Lei's sudden question, Nakime was instantly startled. Muzan-sama was inside talking with Kokushibo-sama, how could she dare to speak carelessly?

Although she was indeed a tiny bit afraid of Lord Muzan, she knew that this was just how she should show respect for him.

"Haha! Nakime, the fear emanating from the depths of your heart is really whetting my appetite."

"I really want to know how you taste now."

Li Lei looked at Ming Nu, his eyes glowing red as if he were looking at a delicious meal. He unconsciously licked the eyeball in his hand.

Something's not right, something's not right, something's not right about Lower Moon One Rui. Looking at the gaze Rui was giving her, Nakime sensed that he really wanted to devour her. And that was with Muzan-sama present.

Just as Nakime was feeling bewildered and retreating under Li Lei's gaze, things took a turn for the better.

"Tired! If you're already here, hurry up and get on."

Muzan's voice came from the floating house, urging Li Lei to hurry inside.

"Yes, Lord Muzan." Upon hearing this, Li Lei reluctantly withdrew his gaze from Nakime and immediately replied.

Nakime can tease him anytime, but Muzan's order must be carried out immediately, otherwise his position in Muzan's heart may be in jeopardy.

Without further hesitation, Li Lei unleashed his power and leaped onto the house where Muzan was.

Seeing Li Lei's gaze shift away, Nakime breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that Muzan had called Li Lei away, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do.
