My fiancée Yukino

Hachiman Hikigaya immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed in shock, "Feather... Feathered Serpent God?"

“That’s right, it’s her.” Luo Bai was quite pleased with Hachiman Hikigaya’s shocked expression and said with a smile, “She came to Earth in ancient times, isn’t that amazing?”

Hachiman Hikigaya nodded numbly: "Yeah, impressive. Wait, in that case, what about Tohru and Kanna?..."

“That’s right. Thor and Kanna are both dragons. Kanna, in terms of age, is still a child. She just started elementary school recently.”

"A dragon... going to primary school, that's truly an eye-opener."

As he spoke, Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Tori and Kanna, who were watching the filming together, and couldn't believe that they were actually giant dragons tens of meters tall flying in the sky.

Patting Hachiman Hikigaya on the shoulder, Luo Bai said, "There's no need to care so much. Just treat them like ordinary people. Look at Kobayashi-nee, she doesn't care at all. She even treats Tohru like a maid."

Hachiman Hikigaya swallowed hard and said, "In a sense, this Miss Kobayashi is also a talent."

The morning shoot proceeded smoothly. Having gained experience from their first shoot, Yui Yuigahama and Saki Kawasaki quickly got into character, cooperating with Mai Sakurajima as they changed outfits one after another, creating a dazzling display of action.

While the filming was taking place, Mai Sakurajima's manager, unsurprisingly, took a liking to Tohru and Lucoa and wanted to sign them to the company.

This is a perfectly normal thought. After all, both Thor and Lucoa have top-notch figures and looks. If they were to debut as actors or idols, they would definitely gain top popularity.

Unfortunately, she found two giant dragons who would never agree to sign a contract.

Lucoa declined with a smile, saying, "I'm sorry, my current job is quite complicated, and I won't be an actor or a star."

Tohru, puffing out her chest, showed off her maid outfit: "I'm Kobayashi's maid, you know. I already have a job, I won't do anything else!"

The agent was at a loss with their answers and had no choice but to turn to Luo Bai for help, hoping he could persuade them.

However, Luo Bai shrugged and said with a smile, "Don't bother looking for them, they're not going to become entertainers."

At this moment, Mai Sakurajima, who had just finished taking a set of photos, came over and chimed in, "That's right, don't even think about it, it's no use."

Seeing this, the agent knew there was really no hope of signing the contract, and he was extremely depressed.

She finally found two absolutely promising talents, but couldn't sign either of them. As a professional manager, this was even more upsetting than having her salary docked.

As for Shinobu Kocho, who remained smiling and silent...

After seeing the samurai sword at her waist, the agent had already suppressed the urge to ask her any questions.

Volume 1: Chapter 183 Learning Breathing Techniques? (2/2)

Two hours later, the morning's filming was over.

After resting for a while, Mai Sakurajima and her two companions went to a nearby restaurant and had a good meal together.

In the afternoon, because Kanna wanted to buy some new pencils, Kobayashi took her and Tohru with him and left first.

Before leaving

Kanna even waved to Shinobu Kocho.

"See you next time, Sister Ren!"

Last time Shinobu Kocho didn't have time to go, but today she finally brought the prepared snacks, and almost all of them ended up in Kanna's stomach, greatly increasing Kanna's favorability towards her.

Shinobu Kocho waved to Kanna as she left and said with a smile, "Kanna is really cute, and very well-behaved and sensible."

Luo Bai agreed, saying, "That's right. Kanna is indeed very well-behaved and also very good at dealing with people. Basically, everyone who has met Kanna likes her."

Shinobu Kocho nodded, raised her wrist to check her watch, and said, "I'm almost done here too. Mr. Masato has set up a dojo for us near the apartment. They've started renovations these past few days. I'm worried that Mitsuri and Iguro might not know about it, so I need to go check it out."

"Near the apartment?"

Luo Bai thought for a moment and realized that there was indeed an vacant property nearby. It was quite large, and Xue Nai had told him that it used to be a private residence, but the owner sold it because his company got into a lawsuit and was in debt.

Although Shinobu and her friends have now come to live in modern society, they still do not intend to give up their swordsmanship and breathing techniques, and they do need a place to train. That place is quite suitable.

Upon hearing Shinobu mention the dojo, Haruno excitedly exclaimed, "A dojo? That sounds interesting! I'll take you there!"

Shinobu Kocho, of course, had no problem with it and readily agreed with a smile.

"Then trouble you."

After Haruno and Shinobu left, Yukino, who was next to Luo Bai, whispered, "Dojo, it feels like we'll have a place to exercise in the future."

Yukino herself has learned a lot, including tennis and badminton, as well as aikido and horseback riding.

Now that her health has improved, she can indeed pick up and continue practicing some sports she had given up before, such as Aikido.

Luo Bai thought for a moment and then said, "Well, I think we can ask Ren later if you can learn the breathing techniques they know."

The Demon Slayer Corps' breathing techniques are indeed a good training method; once mastered, they can dramatically increase a person's physical abilities in a short period of time.

For Yukino, it's not necessary to use it when Luo Bai is around, but it's better to be safe than sorry. If she can learn it, there's definitely no harm in doing so.

Yukino had heard of the breathing technique, but had never seen it in person, so she was quite curious.

She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask Sister Ren later. It's okay if I can't."

"Indeed, but it's highly likely that it can still be taught. After all, the Demon Slayer Corps has disbanded, and I think the Demon Slayer Corps wouldn't want the Breathing Technique to be lost. Moreover, I reckon that the Guardians' operatives will all learn the Breathing Technique."

Hearing Luo Bai's words, Yukino looked at him and asked, "Aren't you going to learn?"

Luo Bai shook his head: "As for me, I just need to focus on improving my superpowers. Trying to do too much at once will only lead to failure. Besides, I already have quite a few abilities, so I can't afford to be distracted."

Yukino expressed her understanding, noting that the Rakuhaku Society indeed possessed a considerable number of superpowers.

The remaining people then continued to watch the filming process.

The filming finally wrapped up around 3 p.m.

After changing back into her own clothes, Yui Yuigahama came to everyone and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Today's workload was much greater than last time, I'm so tired!"

Mai Sakurajima came up from behind and said with a smile, "Since we'll be taking up more space in the magazine this time, we'll naturally be shooting more. Alright, Saki's changed clothes, it's time to go back."

Yang Nai had just returned from dropping off Shinobu Kocho, so she drove Luo Bai and Yukino back home.

Mai Sakurajima, on the other hand, accompanied her manager to take Saki Kawasaki home.

As for Yui Yuigahama, she chose to travel back with the Hikigaya siblings.

After everyone went their separate ways, Luo Bai and Yang Nai, who were sitting in the car, also talked about learning breathing techniques.

Yang asked curiously, "Is the breathing technique really that powerful?"

Luo Bai nodded and said, "Demons have very strong physical abilities, and even the strongest swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps, including the most powerful Pillars, can't compare to them. But by using breathing techniques, they can increase their explosive power and speed to the same level as or even stronger than demons in a short period of time, allowing them to fight them. I'm having you learn this not so that you'll have stronger fighting abilities, but just to have an extra layer of protection. So, Haruno-nee, do you want to learn?"

"Want to learn!"

Yukino nodded excitedly, "I've studied Aikido just like Yukino, but I'm also very interested in this kind of outlandish stuff! When can we learn it?"

"Ask Shinobu tonight. If all goes well, you can go and learn once the dojo is completed."

When the three of them returned home, Shinobu Kocho was not yet back, but the little ones were all resting at home.

After learning that they had finished their studies for the day, Luo Bai invited them to his home to play, and they would all have dinner together that evening.

At 5 p.m., Shinobu Kocho, Mitsuri Kanroji, and Obanai Iguro returned to the apartment.

Upon arriving at Luo Bai's side and hearing his idea, Butterfly Nobu readily agreed.

"Sure, teaching breathing techniques is quite simple. Our lord hasn't restricted us from teaching them to others; they should be passed down."

Yang Nai immediately asked impatiently, "When can we start learning?"

Shinobu Kocho tapped her chin with her slender fingers and said, "Well, the construction of the dojo will take about another week. It should be ready by next weekend. You all have things to do during the week, so the main teaching time will be on weekends. You can practice on your own during the week. When I start teaching you this weekend, I'll demonstrate the power of breathing techniques so you can have a clearer understanding. Look forward to it!"

Yukino, Haruno, and Mai Sakurajima all nodded in unison.

Mai Sakurajima excitedly said, "Do you think if I train well, I can consider taking on more action roles in the future?"

Shinobu Kocho smiled and said, "That's certainly true. As you master the breathing technique more deeply, your physical abilities will become stronger and stronger. While you're training, you'll definitely need to learn some matching techniques, which will give you a solid foundation. Well, 18 years old is a bit old, but it's enough for you even if you don't need to be a demon slayer."

This made Mai Sakurajima even happier and strengthened her resolve to learn breathing techniques properly, hoping to broaden her future acting opportunities.

Volume 1: Chapter 184 The Demon Slayer Corps Arrives (1/2)

On Sunday, I finally slept in a little, not waking up until 8 o'clock, and then dawdling out of bed at 8:30.

Upon entering the living room, Luo Bai ran on the treadmill, while Yukino and Yang Nai sat on the living room floor and did yoga following a video on TV.

Although the two sisters are three years apart in age and have some differences in body shape, their occasional movements and expressions create a strange sense of synchronization.

These two are truly sisters.

With our relationship gradually improving, this feeling is becoming more and more obvious.

After exercising for half an hour and washing up, it was time for breakfast.

After Sakurajima Mai sent a text message...

She walked over in her pajamas, completely unconcerned.

Her current residence is not known to the media, and the security measures in this apartment are quite good, so no one will follow her. Therefore, Mai Sakurajima does not need to be too careful when visiting other apartments.

Sakurajima Mai sat down, happily picked up a steamed bun, and took a bite.

"Waaaaah, today it's beef buns!"

Luo Bai took a sip of coffee, smiled and nodded: "Yes, we just happen to have some beef left, so we'll use it to make steamed buns, beef and scallion filling. If you'd like to try, I can also make lamb filling later."

"Lamb filling!" Mai Sakurajima said expectantly. "I've only ever had lamb before, when I was eating hot pot with you guys. Oh right, and I also had grilled lamb chops once when I had a meal with Shinobu and the others. I've never tried steamed buns before, but they should be delicious, right?"

Luo Bai said confidently, "Don't worry, it will definitely taste delicious."

Yang Nai laughed and said, "Xiao Bai, take it easy. It'll be troublesome if you fatten up Mai."

"That's not the case."

Luo Bai shrugged and said, "Once you start practicing breathing techniques, you will naturally increase your physical exertion. Even if you eat more, you won't get fat."

That's really good news, you won't gain weight!

Mai Sakurajima looked delighted; she could finally eat to her heart's content!

And upon closer reflection, it's true. Swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps like Shinobu Kocho, Kanao, Aoi Kanzaki, Obanai Iguro, and Mitsuri Kanroji all have large appetites, but they all have very standard figures and none of them are fat.

It is evident that their cultivation was very effective and quite remarkable.

Of course, Kanroji Mitsuri is exceptionally gifted, so that's a different story.

After breakfast, the group arrived at Shinobu's place. Everyone was dressed in their everyday clothes, ready to go out later.

Today, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps, will be coming here with his wife and children, as well as several Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Besides having a meal together, we're also preparing to perform rehabilitative surgery on the left hand of the Sound Pillar, Uzui Tengen.

After sitting down next to Shinobu Kocho, Luo Bai asked, "When will everyone arrive?"

Shinobu glanced at the time and said, "We'll arrive at 11 o'clock. Mr. Masato will take them to the hotel for dinner, and then a few of us will show the lord and the others around here. Then, in the evening, we'll arrange Mr. Uzui's admission procedures. His left hand recovery surgery will begin tomorrow."

"Uzui Tengen, that Sound Pillar who has three wives!"

Yang Nai smiled and gently nudged Luo Bai beside her with her elbow, "Xiao Bai, you can exchange experiences with the other party later~~"

Luo Bai said speechlessly, "My situation is different from his, so there's no need to discuss this, right?"

Luo Bai was too lazy to say anything more about this matter, and turned to look at Shinobu Kocho.

"Since we agreed to meet at 11 o'clock, shouldn't it be about 10:30?"

Shinobu Kocho nodded: "Mr. Madoka told me that the car that will pick us up will be here at 10:30. We just need to come downstairs at that time."

"Then there's no rush, there's still plenty of time."

After stretching, Luo Bai joined everyone in watching TV, drinking tea, and chatting.

At 10:30, everyone went downstairs together, got into the three cars sent by Zhen Tu Huo Jin, and set off for the hotel where the gathering was to take place.

After they arrived, they waited in the private room for three minutes before Mato Kakuzu arrived with his entourage.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki was accompanied by his wife and child, followed by several Pillars.

Meanwhile, the Sound Pillar, Uzui Tengen, brought along all three of his wives, and the group was happily discussing the scenery they had seen along the way.

Upon entering the private room, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, whose appearance had fully recovered, smiled and said, "Everyone, it's been a long time."

Shinobu Kocho and the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps immediately went over, their faces beaming with excitement, and said, "My lord!"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled and waved his hand: "No need for formalities. The Demon Slayer Corps has been disbanded, and we are no longer subordinate to each other."

Obanai Iguro said with a serious expression, "You will always be our lord."
