Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

A snow-white neck came into view, and delicious, rare blood was within reach. Li Lei, about to obtain it, felt his calm breathing become rapid, and his heart pounded wildly like a runaway horse.

Li Lei thought to himself: Rare blood! Something that can even affect Upper Moon One, it is an extremely rare existence in Demon Slayer, flesh and blood that can make demons stronger and break through their own limits.

"What delicious and precious rare blood! Something that would make countless evil spirits flock to it is right before my eyes, right here in this ordinary little town."

"Today, this precious rare blood will soon enter my mouth, and I will become stronger, surpass my former self, and take my dream of becoming the ultimate life form one step closer."

Ten'i Moeka (???): If you want to eat, eat now! If you're not going to eat, get out of the way! Stop hugging my neck and talking nonsense?

Li Lei confidently looked at the speechless Tianyi Mengxiang and said:

"Don't you understand? This is called a pre-meal ritual! Performing this ritual is a way of respecting the food and also makes me enjoy my meal."

"But your actions didn't make me feel respected; instead, they made me feel like you were just playing around."

Ten'i Moka said impatiently.

"No, no! You're overthinking it! I'm very serious, how could I be playing around? If you don't believe me, then I won't do it next time, okay! I'll start now."

Li Lei sighed inwardly: "Sigh! This is the first time I've tried to bite someone, and I'm a little hesitant!"

Ten'i Moeka: "Okay! Then you can begin!"

The beautiful voice of Ten'i Moka reached Li Lei's ears.

Li Lei looked at his spotless neck, took a deep breath, made up his mind, and encouraged himself.

"Come on, Li Lei! You can do it. Don't let these small things get you down. You're doing this to prepare for bigger things in the future."

Once Li Lei made up his mind, his eyes began to turn blood red, and hollow fangs like those of a vampire grew out of his mouth.

Li Lei, who was ready, looked at Tianyi Mengxiang's snow-white neck, opened his mouth and bit down on the carotid artery.

Instantly, the rare blood, which was a treasure to the ghost, began to flow into Li Lei's mouth and into his stomach.

The indescribable deliciousness spread through Li Lei's mouth.

"What is this? It's so delicious! I've never had this feeling before. It's a double sublimation of body and mind, a fusion of soul and flesh."

At this moment, Li Lei felt as if all the cells in his body were consciously conveying a message to him.

That is:

"Hurry up and eat the girl with the blood in front of you. If you eat her, you will become stronger and evolve to a higher level."

Sensing the urge within his body's cells to devour the girl before him, Li Lei knew this was a primal instinct—a yearning for evolution. But it could also be Li Lei's yearning for extraordinary power.

In response, Li Lei suppressed his instincts with reason and remained unmoved, because if he were to evolve, he would do so in the way he wanted.

Li Lei's sharp fangs struggled to leave Tianyi Mengxiang's neck, while his blood-red eyes and sharp fangs were completely retracted.

Looking at Tianyi Mengxiang, who had fainted from excessive blood loss in his arms, Li Lei hurriedly used silk thread to sew up the wound on her neck and controlled the heart composed of her own parasitic flesh and blood to produce a large amount of blood to provide oxygen to her whole body.

"Sigh! As expected, rare blood has a great effect on demons. I almost drained Ten'i Moka's blood without even realizing it. If my reason hadn't prevailed in the end, I might have become a man-eating demon by now!"

Before long, Tianyi Mengxiang, who had been unconscious from blood loss, began to regain consciousness thanks to the oxygen supply from the blood produced by Li Lei.

"I'm tired. What's wrong with me?"

"Sister! You're awake? Is anything bothering you? If so, tell me! I'll figure something out right away. It's all my fault for being greedy and eating too much, which caused you to lose too much blood and faint!"

Upon waking, Ten'i Moe looked at Rui, who was concerned about her, and smiled at him:

"It's okay to be tired! You don't need to blame yourself for it. It's all because your older sister didn't think things through. In the process of dealing with being tired, she forgot that being tired is the essence of being a ghost."

"In addition, my sister's rare blood is very attractive to ghosts, which is why the ghost Lei almost lost control."

"This situation is all my sister's fault, so don't be sad about it."

"And Lei, as a demon, was able to overcome his instinct to eat people and didn't harm my sister. This made my sister so happy!"

Looking at the beautiful and warm smile in front of him, Li Lei felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Li Lei smiled, a genuine smile without any pretense!

"It's so good to have met you here, sister!"

Ten'i Moka looked at Li Lei, who was smiling at her, and felt a surge of emotion.

He thought to himself, "It's different now. This smile is different. This smile is so genuine, warm, and full of care. There's none of that fakeness from before. It's like this is my real smile."

At this moment, the smile on Ten'i Moeka's face softened even more. She reached out and hugged the seemingly frail yet powerful boy in front of her, rubbing her beautiful face against his repeatedly.

"Rui! You're so cute right now! It makes me so happy. And when I think about how Rui will be my little brother, Ten'i Moeka's little brother, I'm even happier!"

Li Lei, who was being hugged and had his eyelids rubbed against, relaxed completely and did not resist at all (*罒▽罒*) and endured the pressure from the sphere alone.

"\(￣▽￣)/ What a beautiful day!"
