They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 11 Giyu Tomioka, who excels at adding burdens for his master

As soon as Tanjiro said this, several 'well' characters appeared on Danlei's forehead. He thought to himself, "How come this kid has so much lewd nonsense in his head? Is he trying to study everything I said, inside and out, like he's flirting with a little girl?"

Keep in mind that Danlei was 193 years old at this time. Although in the Vidyadhara clan, Danlei was only considered to have just come of age, just like an ordinary eighteen-year-old young man.

However, Danlei has been single since birth in all three of his lives. In his first life, he was too much of a homebody and didn't have enough money to find a girlfriend.

In the second life, survival was the only priority, leaving no time for romance.

In the third life, the worldview of the immortal race, which is a complete disaster, is praised. Now, most people in Luofu treat themselves like children, and the Vidyadharas are good in every way, but they can't have children.

In general, finding a spiritual man as a husband is almost the same as finding a life-size adult sex toy; the only difference is that you have the option of him becoming a source of emotional comfort.

A typical example is the love story of Xiao Cong and Jing Zhai. Xiao Cong, a member of the Vidyadhara clan, fell in love with Jing Zhai in several reincarnations, and the latter married him several times. However, he died young each time and entered the reincarnation again. As a result, Jing Zhai became numb. Even if she still had feelings for him, she was not willing to continue their relationship.

Therefore, although there are beautiful women everywhere in Luofu, it has nothing to do with Danlei. After all, according to the beliefs of the fox people and the people of Luofu, most people cannot accept that they cannot have offspring after marriage.

As for the Vidyadharas, it can only be said that there is absolutely no need for them to live together.

However, Danlei could only grumble to himself, otherwise, if he revealed the fact that he was 193 years old, it would be troublesome whether Tanjiro and Giyu Tomioka believed it or not.

So Danlei could only grit his teeth and explain.
"What I mean by 'inside and out' is mainly drawing some blood and collecting your sister's hair, nails, skin flakes, and other items to study her demon bloodline."

You keep saying you want to cure her, but how can you cure her if you don't understand her body at all?

Tanjiro finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Danlei's explanation, and then asked expectantly.

"Mr. Danlei, do you mean Nezuko can still be saved? She still has a chance to turn back into a human?"

Dan Lei spoke frankly about this issue.
"I don't know about ghosts, but there are indeed stories about foreigners and those close to them turning back into humans. However, I have no idea how they do it."

Moreover, this is the first time I've ever seen a ghost, so I can't make any promises. I can only say that I need to do some research first.

"Also, Tanjiro, you don't actually have the right to refuse. If you don't let me study this demon, I will definitely kill your sister today to prevent future troubles."

Tanjiro could only remain silent upon hearing this, because he truly had no other choice.

However, at this moment, Giyu Tomioka spoke up again, saying directly...

“You can actually take this ghost to my master’s place in the Misty Mountains.”

"Mr. Danlei, if you want to understand ghosts, your mentor, who has been a ghost hunter all his life, must have information that interests you. I can write you a letter of introduction."

Dan Lei knew that Tomioka Giyuu was actually trying to appease Tanjiro by saying those words, since his own words had sounded a bit like bullying.

However, if Urokodaki Sakonji were present, he would definitely want to beat up Tomioka Giyuu, because both Danri and Nezuko are quite troublesome, and Tomioka Giyuu wants to pass them all on to his master.

However, Danlei was actually more interested in breathing techniques than in ghosts. After all, the fact that ordinary people could unleash elemental power after training meant that the skill's value was probably greater than what it appeared to be.

The main reason for studying Nezuko is to find out how she spent two years learning to directly draw energy from the earth's veins and completely get rid of her cannibalistic urges.

It's important to understand that the Holy Grail within Danlei requires a large amount of ley line energy to power it, but Danlei doesn't want to be a sitting duck in this world, trapped in the ley line absorption array. Therefore, Nezuko's ability to move and absorb ley line energy is exactly what he needs.

So, Danlei, being quite easygoing, shrugged and then deliberately asked...

"No problem. Also, I promise that further research on Nezuko will continue... Um, what's your name?"

Yoshiyuki Tomioka then realized he hadn't introduced himself at all, which was extremely rude of him, so he quickly introduced himself.

"My name is Giyu Tomioka, the current Water Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps. You can ask my master for more information about the Demon Slayer Corps later."

When Dan Lei saw that Tomioka Giyuu had once again passed the matter on to Urokodaki Sakonji, he immediately felt sorry for the latter for a few seconds. It wasn't easy for him to have such a disciple.

However, Dan Lei could guess that Tomioka Giyuu didn't know how much information about the Demon Slayer Corps to reveal to Dan Lei, which was why he left everything to his master.

So Danlei didn't expose him and continued...
“Alright, I will continue my research on Nezuko with Master Giyu Tomioka. It’s perfect, young Tanjiro, you can also learn some skills from Master Giyu Tomioka. In this world, you can’t control your own destiny without some skills.”

Tanjiro nodded very seriously at Dan Lei's words, and then said directly to Sasaki Kojiro.
"Actually, if possible, I would like to learn from this gentleman."

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei laughed and stepped forward, patting Tanjiro on the shoulder as he spoke.
"Haha, Tanjiro, you have good taste. However, learning from him is like a baby trying to run before it can crawl. The gap is too big."

You know, even I would have to start from scratch to learn swordsmanship from him now.

After saying that, Dan Lei flicked his hand and used his magic thread to cut a tree in half, then instantly swapped the tree in front of him.

With a dazzling series of movements, Dan Lei's hands transformed the tree into wooden strips in a few seconds, which were then used to make a box. After attaching vines to it, it became a backpack.

After it was over, Dan Lei said

“Newborn Dead Apostles are generally afraid of light, and I suppose demons are similar. When I tied Nezuko up just now, I felt that she could change her size at will, so I let her hide in this place during the day.”

"Oh, right, Giyu Tomioka, don't rush off yet. Sunrise is almost here, let's go up the mountain together. That way you'll feel more at ease."

Yoshiyuki Tomioka nodded. Indeed, as long as Danlei could bask in the sun, the possibility of him being a ghost could be completely ruled out.

So Giyuu Tomioka turned around and cleared a path.
“No problem. You’ve mentioned the term ‘Dead Apostle’ several times. It seems to be a kind of monster that looks a lot like a ghost. I’m also very interested in information about them. Please feel free to share your knowledge.”

Dan Lei had no objection to Tomioka Giyu's request. The information Dan Lei provided about the Dead Apostles was all true; it's just that this thing doesn't exist in this world.

However, the story of Demon Slayer only takes place in this small island nation, and Dan Lei has no idea how vast the outside world is.

But given the sheer power of this place, it's quite normal that there are also things like Dead Apostles and vampires in this world.

Afterwards, Nezuko obediently shrunk down and climbed into the box, and Tanjiro put his shoes back on, carrying the box as he accompanied Tanjiro and Giyu Tomioka to the top of the mountain.

As for Sasaki Kojiro, he directly became a spirit.

However, Dan Lei pretended to be mysterious and said that he was still nearby. Tomioka Giyu and Tanjiro could only assume that they were not strong enough to notice the big boss's actions, so they stopped asking questions.
