Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

"The future? Exhausting! You're not going to do anything stupid, are you?!"

Ten'i Moka asked quickly.

"Don't worry, Sister Mengxiang. My actions won't harm anyone else much."

Li Lei replied earnestly to Tianyi Mengxiang.

Upon hearing this, Ten'i Moeka was about to ask further questions when she was interrupted by the sudden sound of wings flapping.

With a whoosh, a large crow flew into the courtyard.

"Master! Little Wu is here. Was what you said in Little Wu's mind just now true?"

"It's true! I can now grant your wish!" Li Lei said, looking at Xiao Wu.

"Great! Thank you, Master! My wish is about to come true!"

"Hahaha! I, Little Wu, am finally going to have a little brother!"

Ten'i Moka, standing to the side, looked at the large crow that was gesturing excitedly with great confusion.

"What wish? What little brother? What are they saying? Why can't I understand them?"

"Little Wu! Come forward and accept this power to control people's hearts!" Li Lei said to Little Wu in a very childish way.

Hearing Li Lei call his little crow, he looked solemn, stood tall and proud, and walked towards Li Lei with an air of indifference.

"Handsome, brave, beautiful, and powerful master! Please grant Xiao Wu this power to control people's hearts quickly! So that Xiao Wu can realize this long-cherished wish."

As he spoke, Xiao Wu walked up to Li Lei and bent down.

Seeing Xiao Wu's excellent cooperation, Li Lei's lips curled up slightly.

"Good! You did a great job! I will grant your wish and make you the king of crows."

After Li Lei finished speaking, he immediately handed Xiao Wu a meatball and said to it:

"Eat it! Your wish is contained within."

"Thank you, Master!" Little Wu said, looking at the ball of flesh in Li Lei's hand.

Then he ate it with a "whoosh".

Next to her is Amane Moeka...( ＿ ＿)ノ｜

"Is it really necessary to go to such lengths just to eat one meatball?"

"I thought it was going to be really difficult for you guys! Turns out it's this easy!"

Li Lei watched as Xiao Wu ate his parasitic flesh ball and smiled at it:

"Little Wu! Quickly use the abilities you've gained to recruit subordinates!"

"Yes, Master. Little Wu is off now!"

With a few whooshes, the little bird spread its wings, flapped them a few times, and flew away.

Watching Xiao Wu getting further and further away from the courtyard, Li Lei withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Tianyi Mengxiang beside him.

"Sister Mengxiang! If you have any questions, just say them and I'll try my best to answer them!"

Suddenly asked the question, Ten'i Moka snapped out of her daze, looking at Li Lei with a serious expression. She was a little flustered.

"I'm tired! I didn't want to pry into your secret, but I'm still a little worried that you might do something wrong!"

"I'm tired! What you're doing won't hurt anyone, will it?"

Hearing Ten'i Moka's concerns, Li Lei smiled and replied:

"Don't worry, Moka-nee! I won't hurt anyone. Even if I do, I won't hurt good people!"

After hearing Li Lei's promise, Ten'i Moka gradually put aside her doubts.

"Since you've said that, I'm relieved!"

"It's alright! Sister Mengxiang. Don't worry about me at all! I'm your little brother! You have to have faith in your little brother!"

Li Lei coaxed and tricked Tianyi Mengxiang into going back to sleep. In Tianyi Mengxiang's room, Li Lei covered her with a blanket.

"Goodnight, sister!" Li Lei said to Tianyi Mengxiang by her bedside.

"Goodnight! I'm tired!" Ten'i Moka replied from her bed.

"OK, all right!"

Li Lei replied before closing the room door.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves and swayed the grass. Beneath the wisteria tree in the courtyard, Li Lei stood alone, gazing in the direction Xiao Wu had gone.

It's not moving at all, I don't know what it's doing?

Meanwhile, as Little Crow flew through the city, a voice echoed in his mind.

“Little Wu! The fleshy ball I gave you is a new ability I developed using the Parasitic Blood Demon Technique. It can split into 20 offspring, and each offspring can control an animal weaker than you.”

"You must make good use of this ability to develop your own subordinates. Find demons with special blood demon arts and people with rare blood types for me. Tell me immediately when you find them!"

"Among them, the demons possessing blood demon magic related to space are the most important. Notify me immediately if you find them!"

"Yes, Master! Little Wu will definitely complete the task you have assigned."

The little bird flying in the air earnestly replied to Li Lei in his mind.

"Hahaha! Little Wu, I'm waiting for your good news. Don't disappoint me!"

Gradually, the voice in Xiao Wu's mind faded away.

After losing contact with Li Lei, Xiao Wu immediately began searching for a crow he liked, preparing to use the new ability he obtained from Li Lei to control the crow he liked as his subordinate.

Suddenly, a graceful female crow with glossy black feathers caught the little crow's eye.

"This...this...isn't this the crow of my dreams? It's decided! You'll be my first subordinate!"

Having made his decision, the little crow flew towards the crow he liked!

……

After finishing his communication with Xiao Wu, Li Lei came to his senses and looked at the peaceful surroundings.

"As expected! Long-distance communication is very tiring. This short communication has actually made me feel a little tired. This is the first time I have experienced this since I became a ghost."

"Wait a minute? Logically speaking, as a ghost, I shouldn't be tired! So why am I tired?"

After thinking for several tens of minutes, a word suddenly flashed into Li Lei's mind.

"Mental strength"

"Yes, it's mental power! I haven't been a demon for long enough, so my mental power isn't nearly as strong as Upper Moon's."

This is why I feel tired even after a short communication session.

But I don't know how to increase my mental strength!

"It seems that from now on, I can only communicate with Xiao Wu and Xiao Hei over long distances more often to train my mental strength. This is the only way I can do so at the moment."

True to his word, Li Lei immediately initiated a voice call with Xiao Hei.

"Hey! Little Black, are you there? Do you miss your master?"
