Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

"Chigusa Chihiro, you've come. How have you been all these years with me?"

Li Lei smiled and asked the brother and sister.

"Thank you for your concern, sir. In the years I've been with you, Chihiro and I have lived very well. We no longer have to suffer like before."

Chigusa answered Li Lei with neither arrogance nor servility.

"Ah That's good."

"By the way, Chigusa Chihiro, how's your Water Breathing technique coming along?"

Li Lei looked at the brother and sister and calmly asked.

"I'm sorry, sir, Chigusa has disappointed you. Chigusa has never been able to master the Water Breathing Technique to its peak."

Chigusa lowered her head slightly and answered Li Lei in front of her.

"It's alright. I taught you breathing techniques so you could use them for self-defense. It's okay if you don't reach the peak."

Chihiro, standing to the side, was a little nervous at this moment.

When Li Lei asked her question, Qianxun recalled what she had done under the sun and her face flushed.

"Chihiro, too—just like me, failed to master the breathing technique."

Chihiro looked a little nervous as she spoke, glancing around nervously.

Li Lei smiled.

"Haha! Did Chihiro slack off again when she was practicing her breathing?"

Upon hearing Li Lei's words, Qianxun's face instantly turned bright red, and she lowered her head and remained silent.

"Alright, let's not talk about that for now, let's get back to the main topic."

"Chihiro, here's what happened..."

"...Finally, Chigusa Chihiro, I entrust the ancient wisteria tree, which parasitizes flesh and blood, to you. Please take good care of it for me."

"Sir, my brother and I will definitely complete the task you have assigned us and will not let you down."

"Yes! Chigusa Chihiro, I believe you can do it."

Li Lei spoke earnestly to the brother and sister.

On the other side, in a grove of trees where many crows were hunting, Ten'i Moka strolled leisurely, observing the growth of the trees and the blooming of the flowers, heading towards her destination.

Soon, Ten'i Moka arrived at a place that was several hundred meters in circumference and filled with wisteria trees. In the center of this place was a familiar courtyard with a large ancient wisteria tree.

Located in the center of Nata Spider Mountain, a straight stone path leads directly to the courtyard gate.

This place is not far from where Li Lei is now. Li Lei and Tianyi Mengxiang usually live here.

Looking at the home that Li Lei had moved using various methods ten years ago, Tianyi Mengxiang felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

With light steps, Ten'i Moka walked straight along the stone path towards the courtyard.

Today, Ten'i Moka doesn't know why she wants to be alone for a while.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, I walked towards the large wisteria tree standing alone in the courtyard, its fragrance filling the air.

Looking at the large wisteria tree in full bloom before me, it was still as tall and beautiful as before.

Memories of her past encounters with Li Lei flooded back, and beautiful memories blossomed in her mind at this moment.

Originally, I thought I wouldn't have lived this long because of my heart disease and loneliness, but the appearance of Lei changed everything. Lei cured my heart disease and gave me companionship in my lonely life.

Just then, a gentle breeze drifted in from outside the wall, rustling the purple petals. The soft rustling of the petals and leaves filled the air.

The grass on the ground rustled slightly, and the fragrant lily stood tall in the breeze.

"Oh, the blooming wisteria tree, it's been ten years, you've grown so much! And you have so many more purple flowers than you did ten years ago. I've grown a lot too, these ten years have pushed both of us to grow."

Ten'i Moka spoke to the large tree in front of her, which was covered in purple flowers.

Ten'i Moka reached out and plucked the nearest cluster of purple flowers, then brought it to her lips and smelled it.

"Big wisteria tree, do you know? It was so good to meet Lei ten years ago! He was the boy who often lay with me under your tree."

"But ten years have passed, and he still looks just as tired as before. He hasn't grown taller or bigger. Time seems to have lost its meaning for him."

"But as time goes by, I'm slowly getting older. Now, when I stand next to Lei, I don't look like her older sister at all, but rather like Lei's mother."

"Is this what Rui, as a demon, is like?!"

"Decades have passed. By then, I'll be wrinkled, my hair will be gray, and I'll be tired. Will my older sister still want me?"

……

In the courtyard, Ten'i Moka kept telling her troubles to the wisteria tree.

In the nearby forest, dozens of black figures moved swiftly, leaving no trace of insects in their wake.

In the forest, not a single insect could be seen for half a day.

Wow! These young crows are so fast!

In the short time it takes for Little Crow to deliver a message, all the insects in this forest have become extinct.

Was it really necessary to go to such an extreme?

Xiao Wu stared in shock at the "clean open space" in front of him and said.

"I refuse to believe it, there isn't a single bug."

Unwilling to give up, Xiao Wu began a thorough search, but all his efforts were in vain.
