The Lower Moons were panting heavily, feeling as if they had just walked through the gates of hell.
This is not their misconception.
Because just a moment ago, Muzan truly had the idea of eliminating all the Lower Moons.
"What's wrong?"
Muzan looked at Ryuri and asked.
"Getting angry makes you look ugly."
Longli said in a low voice.
"Alright, Longli, getting angry will make you ugly, you know. Little Longli is so cute, you don't want to become ugly, do you?" Her mother's words echoed in my ears.
Muzan glanced at Ryuri for two seconds, then smirked and said, "Then I'll do as you say."
He then turned around and looked down at all the Lower Moons: "From today onwards, Ryuri will take the place of the former Lower Moon Two and officially become a Lower Moon."
Dragon tilted his head, "Lower Moon?"
'What the heck! Who is this weird kid? He's become Lower Moon Two right off the bat!'
Lower Moon Three, Byoyo, lowered his head and gritted his teeth as he thought.
Do you have any objections to my arrangements?
Muzan's emotionless gaze fell on Byakuya.
Startled, the diseased leaf instantly broke out in a sweat the size of a bean.
"Because Ryuri is different from you bunch of trash. He has only been a demon for less than half a day, and he just killed a Pillar-level demon slayer."
'Wh-what?'
The Lower Moons were all shocked.
column!
That was an absolutely terrifying existence for them, something that could even be described as a nightmare!
For decades since they became demons, their biggest goal has been to kill a Pillar, but they have never succeeded. The Demon Slayer Corps even set a rule for them: whoever can kill a Lower Moon can become a Pillar!
What is this? It's an insult to them, but they can't do anything about it.
But now they've heard that Ryuri killed a Pillar less than half a day after becoming a demon!?
Is this true?
"Compared to Longli, I really don't know what use you guys are to me."
Muzan said, "Is your only purpose to be killed by demon slayers and then become pillars?"
"Please forgive our Lord Kibutsuji! We will definitely work even harder!"
The fourth moon of the Lower Moon shouted with his eyes closed.
"What do I care about whether you try or not? Why should I care? Isn't killing the Pillar the most basic thing for you?"
"Waaah..."
Lingyuzi was almost crying from fright.
Muzan ignored the other Lower Moons and turned to look at Ryuri.
He said gently, "Ryuri, becoming a Lower Moon is just the beginning. Strive to become stronger and aim to become an Upper Moon as soon as possible."
His attitude towards Ryuri and Lower Moon was practically that of a biological son and a wild one.
"Don't worry, Lord Muzan, I will work hard to become stronger."
Ryuji's expression was conflicted: "That's right, that's right, while I'm getting stronger, I also want to help Lord Muzan..."
"Help me?"
"Lord Muzan probably thinks these demons are too weak!"
Longli blinked: "Then I'll help you choose more capable subordinates!"
Nakime behind her closed her eyes. Oh no. Usually, if a demon tries to talk to Muzan like this, Muzan will question their judgment and give them a good scolding.
She had already envisioned the ending for Longli.
But to everyone's surprise, Muzan wasn't angry at all: "Sure." He rubbed Ryuri's head: "Do whatever you want, Ryuri. You're different from these trash. You're the special one."
He removed his hand from Longli's head, and at that moment Longli's pupils began to tremble slightly. The next moment, "Lower Moon" and "Second Moon" appeared in his pupils respectively.
"Alright, Longli, see you next time."
Muzan smiled slightly at Ryuri, and the next moment, with the sound of a pipa, his figure disappeared from the Infinity Castle.
"Really, we haven't even said goodbye yet."
Longli was somewhat disappointed.
"If you wish to see Lord Muzan, I can send you there when he is not busy."
Nakime's clear, cold voice rang out.
"never mind."
Ryuri scratched his head: "Master Muzan must have his own things to do, but thank you anyway, Nakime-neechan."
elder sister...
Nakime's face, which was hidden by her long hair, paused slightly.
After Muzan left, the Lower Moons were finally able to breathe freely again.
These lower moons have done nothing, yet they are more exhausted than if they had just fought a major battle.
"that..."
As the Lower Moon One appeared, Guhuoniao looked up at Longli above, her cheeks flushed: "Young man, may I... may I get to know you?"
The Lower Moons looked at her in surprise.
'My God! That's the monster who killed Pillar! How dare she talk to him? Does she have a death wish?!' Lingyu trembled in the corner.
After hearing Muzan's words, no one still sees Ryuri as a harmless child. After all, no kid could kill a Pillar in less than half a day after becoming a demon!
"Why is there such a big difference between the two when they are both the last quarter moon?"
Xiang Kai raised his head, his face full of doubt about his life.
It's one thing to be unable to write good works, but to be such a failure even as a ghost!
No, he must work twice as hard and eat even more people so that Lord Oni-maru can be satisfied!
Lower Moon Five is a demon resembling an adult male, and at this moment he is looking at Ryuri with a gaze that is both fearful and curious.
"Sure!"
Longli leaped down from above and stood in front of the Guhuoniao: "Hello, my name is Longli."
If it were a girl, Ryu would really not want to refuse.
In his world, all girls are as warm as his mother, and are the most beautiful beings.
"Ryūri is your name from your human days, isn't it? It's such a cute name!"
The Guhuoniao said with a smile, "However, I don't remember my name from my human days. You can call me Guhuoniao now."
"Guhuoniao, that's a very beautiful name!"
"Really? You really think so?"
"I'm so surprised!" Guhuoniao asked.
"Mmm!" Longli nodded.
"that..."
The Guhuoniao hesitated, then said, "I actually have an embarrassing request, I want to ask you for a favor, although it's a bit impolite to ask you right away..."
"It's okay."
Longli said, "If you need anything, just let me know. I also enjoy helping others."
"I...can we say this somewhere else...there are so many people here..."
"Gu Huo Niao said, blushing."
Ryuji looked up at Nakime: "Nakime-neechan, could you send me and this lady away together?"
"Of course, where would you like to go?"
"Let's go to my house!"
The Guhuoniao continued.
"Well then, Ryūri, see you next time." Nakime played the biwa, and then Ryūri and Ubume disappeared from the Infinite Castle.
"Honestly, they're all like monsters."
Byakuya gritted his teeth and looked up at Nakime: "Hey, that woman, send me and Lower Moon Five away together too."
"I refuse."
Nakime said, "I will only obey Lord Muzan's orders."
"What did you say!"
Bingye said, "Then why were they allowed to walk together just now!"
Nakime looked at Byakuya with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, what do you have to compare with Ryuri?
The next moment, several pipa sounds rang out, and all the lower moons were successively transported away from the Infinite Castle, leaving only Nakime's lonely performance in the Infinite Castle.
After a few seconds,
A soft murmur drifted through the quiet, boundless city.
"elder sister..."
