In a mansion at the foot of Mount Da Yue.
"Inosuke, let's fight!"
"Huh? Don't think this grand me will lose to you!" Inosuke, with one foot on the table, pointed at Li Xing and shouted.
"The food on these two tables, whoever finishes eating first wins. If I win, you're my subordinate. If you win, I'll be yours," Li Xing glanced at Inosuke and said indifferently.
After arriving at the mansion with the wisteria family crest, Li Xing asked the head of the household to prepare two tables of food. Because Inosuke kept making noise, Li Xing was too annoyed and decided to have a match with him.
In a fight, Inosuke would definitely lose. Li Xing didn't want to bully a child, so he thought of a eating contest. Joke, when it comes to eating, I, Monkey D. Luffy, have never feared anyone.
"Perfect! This grand me will not lose!"
"Start!" Li Xing shouted the start first, the dining table is like a battlefield, one must seize the initiative.
"Stars, you're not playing by the rules," Li Yun's mocking voice echoed in Li Xing's mind. Li Xing was used to Li Yun's sharp tongue and didn't care at all, after all, having thick skin allows one to live better.
...
The Infinity Castle.
Pipa music sounded, and all six Lower Moons gathered in the Infinity Castle.
Muzan Kibutsuji looked down at the six Lower Moons from above. In his eyes of hatred, Muzan saw the power of that man from years ago. Because he was too afraid, he directly summoned the Lower Moon demons.
This summoning was not originally in the plot, but due to Li Xing's appearance, the Lower Moons had to gather in advance. The plot seemed to be changing, and the butterfly effect had begun.
"Kneel!" Muzan arrogantly uttered these words. He released a bit of his demon king aura, scaring all the Lower Moons into kneeling.
"We pay our respects to you, Lord!" the Lower Moon demons shouted one after another. They dared not call Muzan by name, and even adding his name did not please him.
"After so many years, none of you have found the Blue Spider Lily. What use are the Lower Moons?"
Muzan was now in menopause, and his temper was extremely volatile. It was already very good for him to say a word while suppressing his anger, for a demon.
The Lower Moon demons broke out in a cold sweat, and not one dared to speak.
"Go and kill a Demon Slayer with white hair and black clothes. If you cannot do it, then the Lower Moons have no reason to exist." After giving the order, Muzan disappeared.
Nakime strummed the pipa again, and the six Lower Moons were teleported back to their respective territories. Lower Moon Five Rui had a dull expression and had no intention of leaving Mount Spider. As for Lower Moon Four Rui, she hadn't reacted yet. Being particularly timid and afraid of death, she hadn't paid attention to Muzan's words just now.
The other Lower Moons, however, were restless. For the first time in many years, Muzan had gathered all six Lower Moons to give them a task, which excited them greatly.
...
"Inosuke, you lost. Now you're my subordinate." Li Xing lay back contentedly, having eaten a great meal and gained a subordinate, which was very comfortable.
"Damn it, I won't lose next time!" Although Inosuke lost, he still had the will to win next time. If he had met Giyu Tomioka earlier, he would probably have become depressed again.
After sleeping for a day, Li Xing decided to go to Mount Oe to find Kanao, and he didn't plan to take Inosuke with him. According to the plot, he should team up with Tanjiro next time.
"Master, are you leaving? This is a haori, a small token of my appreciation, please accept it." At this moment, the head of the household walked out of the mansion, holding a light blue haori and some food, and handed them to Li Xing.
"Thank you, uncle." Li Xing accepted the items without any politeness. He opened the haori and saw that it was a Shinsengumi haori. Not bad.
"Then I'm off. Please take care of that pig-headed boy for me." Li Xing, wearing the haori, left the mansion with the wisteria family crest and set foot on the road to Mount Oe.
"May your journey be safe and victorious!"
...
While walking, Li Xing suddenly had a whimsical idea: could he make headphones that could play music? That way, he wouldn't be bored in this era of underdeveloped technology.
"It's possible. I've recorded your playlists before."
"Then, get me a Lamborghini, I want to drive."
Li Yun: "..."
"Stars, are you stupid? When did you ever let me record a Lamborghini? Even if it could be made, do you have any gas?"
(͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧
"I won't argue with you. Play me a song called 'Chicken You Too Beautiful'."
On the other side.
Mount Oe. After Kanao finished killing the demons, she buried the dead villagers and then left Mount Oe. Li Xing was still on his way, so he definitely wouldn't see Kanao this time.
After a day and a night of travel, Li Xing arrived at Mount Oe and found traces of fighting everywhere, but there was still the scent of demons.
"Why is there still the scent of demons? Where did Kanao go? Could she have been eaten by a demon? That shouldn't be the case; Kanao didn't die in the plot."
"Stars, sense the air carefully. The aura left by the fighting here is different from the aura of the demons. This means the demon Kanao fought is not the same as the demons here."
Li Xing closed his eyes and sensed it. It was indeed as Li Yun said. Perhaps new demons had arrived after Kanao left, or perhaps Kanao hadn't searched carefully and had missed one.
"Who's there?" Li Xing keenly noticed someone peeking and suddenly turned around and shouted.
In an instant, a black mist surged over, and Li Xing quickly retreated.
"Wind Breathing, Fourth Form: Rising Dust Storm!"
Li Xing quickly used Wind Breathing, slashing out a circular shield of wind to protect himself, which flew towards that direction with sword energy.
After the dust and smoke dissipated, a large, obese demon appeared in Li Xing's eyes, drooling and with a gaze that seemed to want to devour everything.
"Is this real? Not a Lower Moon demon, but his strength seems comparable to a Lower Moon demon." Li Xing was a little surprised. There didn't seem to be such a powerful demon in the original work, right? This demon wasn't one who had been stripped of his Lower Moon qualification either.
"Good evening, Demon Slayer. Are you also here to forage?" the fat demon said to Li Xing.
As the fat demon spoke, he seemed to be enduring something. He didn't rush forward excitedly upon seeing someone like other demons. Could it be that he was lonely for too long and wanted to talk to someone?
Shaking his head, Li Xing dismissed those wild thoughts, drew his Nichirin Blade, and held it in front of his chest in a defensive posture, watching the fat demon.
"Don't be so fierce. I'll ask you a question: did you kill the demon who died here yesterday? He was my subordinate. If you killed him, then I can only eat you." The fat demon directly slumped to the ground, as if standing for too long was too tiring. Being so heavy was really difficult. He should lose weight.
"Stop playing tricks here. Even if I said I didn't kill him, would you let me go? I can see that you are very hungry and can't hold back much longer. Come on, let me test your strength."
Li Xing didn't believe anything the evil demon said. Although he didn't know why he wasn't attacking directly but was chatting, it was best to be vigilant.
