Chapter 125 The Lying Spider Sister
Li Lei: "..." ╮(﹀＿﹀)╭
Am I that scary? I'm actually quite good-looking. Your expressions of utter disbelief are just ridiculous.
Li Lei had no idea how terrifying he, as one of the Twelve Demon Moons, was to the ordinary swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps. As Muzan's strongest subordinates, even the weakest Lower Moon could kill ordinary swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps with ease.
Not to mention Li Lei, the strongest Lower Moon One. Of course they would be afraid if they encountered him. The Lower Moon One is a demon that even the Pillars have to be careful of. The next level up is the Upper Moon One.
When an Upper Moon encounters a Pillar, it's a guaranteed kill; almost none escape. Therefore, the Demon Slayer Corps still has no information about the Upper Moons, which gives an idea of their terrifying power.
It's perfectly normal for them to be afraid of Li Lei, who is the Lower Moon One. After all, everyone is afraid of death. Of course, there are a few people with strong will who can overcome the fear of death, but they are not among those in front of Li Lei.
Looking at the five who had lost their fighting spirit, Li Lei thought it was good. These five ghost killers were of average strength. If they tried hard enough, they could still win against ghosts who had just become ghosts or did not know blood ghost techniques.
However, if they encounter a powerful demon who knows Blood Demon Arts, even if all five of them combine their powers, they'll be finished. It won't just be a matter of fear; they'll be eaten, since a body trained in breathing techniques and regularly exercised is a demon's favorite prey.
Li Lei, carrying Chihiro, leaped down from the high silk thread and landed easily in front of the five Demon Slayer Corps members.
Faced with the five who had lost their will to fight, Li Lei carefully considered his options and then used a large net to tie them together, preventing them from escaping.
Although they seemed to have given up resistance, like lambs to the slaughter, Li Lei was still worried. What if they ran away halfway? He couldn't possibly waste time and effort to catch them again; that would be too much of a waste!
After tying them up, Li Lei walked towards the place where the demons who knew him were located. As soon as Xiao Hei saw him coming, he immediately perked up and volunteered to guard the five Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen.
"Master, Master, let me keep an eye on them. I promise I won't let them get away."
Looking at Xiao Hei's gleeful face, Li Lei knew his wicked intentions without even thinking—he just wanted to take revenge on the five men for being slashed by their sun-wheel swords. Li Lei didn't object to this.
"Okay, then you keep a close eye on it," Li Lei replied.
This is just enough to deal some physical damage to the five Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen. They already have mental damage, so of course they can't be without physical damage, otherwise it would be too unbalanced.
With Li Lei's permission, Xiao Hei grinned mischievously at the five Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen.
Seeing Xiao Hei's lewd expression, Li Lei shook his head. The cute and silly Xiao Hei of the past was gone; he had gone astray. It must be Xiao Wu's fault.
Li Lei left Xiao Hei with a message not to go too far, then led Qian Xun straight to Qian Cao, who was guarding the female ghost.
While on the silk web, Li Lei noticed the female ghost next to Qiancao, dressed in a dark green coat. Wasn't this the Spider Sister from the original story who loved to lie and hadn't yet accepted Lei's face-changing?
In the original story, she was chased by Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen to the territory of Lower Moon Five Rui. In order to survive, she agreed to Rui's request to become his sister. But did she still end up in her own territory?
How interesting, history is repeating itself, she still came. Does that mean that my existence did not change the original trajectory of fate? Does that mean that the protagonist Tanjiro will eventually come to Mount Natagumo to fight me, and I will eventually die at the hands of the Water Pillar Giyu Tomioka?
Impossible! I now possess the strength of Upper Moon Four, how could Giyu Tomioka possibly defeat me?
Unless he uses cheat codes and activates all his markings and crimson blades, he might not be able to defeat me.
Thinking about this, Li Lei suddenly felt insecure. He did seem to have the potential to do it, but he wasn't the same Lei from the original story. He couldn't possibly die at his hands again, could he? He hadn't provoked him and they had no connection whatsoever.
Aside from picking up a Pillar-level Nichirin Blade from his master Urokodaki Sakonji, he doesn't seem to have done anything else.
For some reason, Li Lei became increasingly worried, his mood was extremely unsettled, and even his neck felt cold.
No! I have to go to Mount Sagiri to check it out, otherwise I won't feel at ease. I happen to have some free time recently, so I'll take the opportunity to visit the Demon Slayer Corps' final trial grounds.
Thinking of all this, Li Lei immediately decided to finish dealing with the trivial matters at hand and then go to Xiawu Mountain.
As Li Lei walked slowly towards the female ghost, he finally made his decision.
Having made his decision, Li Lei looked at the Spider Sister who had not yet undergone the transformation of his blood.
"I heard that you know me?"
"My lord, you are the strongest Lower Moon of the Twelve Demon Moons, second only to the Upper Moon. Which demon doesn't know your power? How could I not recognize you?"
The female ghost replied cautiously.
"Really? But I heard from my subordinates that you said you knew me and that our relationship was special, that you were a ghost who was very important to me."
"He also said that if you get even the slightest injury, I will be very angry, and they will definitely be punished by me and will suffer the consequences," Li Lei said to the female ghost with a smile.
A big question mark popped into Chihiro's head?
"Did she remember that she didn't say what the adults said, or did she just forget it herself?"
"No, sir. I didn't say that. They must have misheard me. What I meant was that I came here to seek refuge with you because I knew you were here, Lord Lower Moon. I didn't say that we were on good terms. They made that up themselves."
The female ghost hurriedly knelt down before Li Lei, explaining in a panic that she hadn't said anything and that they had misunderstood.
Looking at her as she tried to cover up one lie with another, Li Lei's smile vanished, and his tone turned icy.
"What's wrong? Are you upset because she said you and I are close? Or are you just lying and don't dare to admit what you said?"
"No, no! Sir, I am certainly happy to be close to you, but I did not lie. Those words were all lies they told you."
The female ghost kneeling on the ground looked completely innocent, as if what she said was the truth and what Chihiro said was all lies.
"You're lying! That's not what you said just now." Chihiro was a little angry. This female ghost looked so weak, but she never expected her to lie.
When Chihiro got angry, Li Lei raised his hand and patted her head to soothe her emotions, indicating that he knew the truth and would not believe the ghost's lies.
After calming Chihiro down, Li Lei walked up to the female ghost on the ground. Looking at her, who hadn't yet accepted the change in his blood and transformed into a beautiful spider sister, he felt something was off, as if this wasn't the process he wanted.
By the way, she doesn't look like the white-haired Spider Sister yet, and she doesn't look as good as the Lower Moon Five Rui from the original work. Looks like I'll have to modify her myself.
"Do you want to become stronger and more beautiful? Do you want to build a vital relationship with me, even if it means risking your life? Do you want to never have to face the Demon Slayer Corps again?"
"If you want, I can give you strength, as long as you dedicate yourself to me completely."
Li Lei reached out and lifted the female ghost's chin, gently stroking her cheek as he spoke.
"I'm willing, I'll agree to anything you ask."
Faced with the conditions offered by Li Lei, the female ghost, also known as Spider Sister, agreed immediately without the slightest hesitation.
After all, with Lower Moon One's protection, he no longer needed to fear the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen and could freely eat people without worrying about the threat of death.
"Okay! Deal."
Upon hearing the female ghost's agreement, Li Lei, with a smile, made a cut on his right index finger and placed it into her soft mouth.
"Drink up!" Li Lei said with a smile.
