Demon Slayer: The Demon King is actually a weak girl?!

Looking at the "happy" scene of the Upper Rank employees, Muzan slowly walked out from behind the screen.

"Everyone is there."

The soft and charming female voice was like fine silk, which made the ghosts stunned.

——Who is this woman?

Jifutaro and Daki had seen this guise of Muzan before, and the brother and sister were the first to kowtow and salute: "Lord Muzan."

The other upper ranks all showed surprised expressions.

Master Wuhan?

You think such a cute girl could be the supreme ruler Muzan-sama?!

As Muzan's number one fan, Yuhu was the first to blush: "Hmm... Muzan-sama in women's clothing is so cute~?"

He swayed left to right excitedly, and on both sides of his body, two rows of chubby centipede-like baby hands swayed like waves.

Under the table, the dog was still shaking with fear: "Ah! How scary..."

Douma smiled and said, "Lord Muzan, this kind of Lord Muzan is also very good~ By the way, Akaza," he turned his head to look at the man behind him who was already furious, "I haven't seen Lord Kokushibo yet, has something happened to him?"

“……” Akaza turned his head away and didn’t look at him, nor did he say anything.

However, Muzan accurately read what Akaza was thinking at the moment -

“Why wasn’t Douma the one who died?”

“Hehe…” Wuzan couldn’t help but chuckle.

These two are really enemies.

"Lord Muzan~" Douma suddenly called out to Muzan, smiling adorably, "Why hasn't Lord Kokushibo come yet? Could it be that I'm going to be promoted? Hmm~ How can I feel comfortable doing that?"

Muzan looked at Douma's smirking face, and couldn't help but read Akaza's mind -

"You wish."

"Hehe..." Wuzan couldn't help but laugh again.

Akaza and Douma are indeed the comic relief in the novel...

Several upper-rank demons were thinking about their own things, when suddenly, a deep male voice like a bell rumbled out.

“I’ve always been here.”

"Huh?" Douma's expression froze in a daze.

After hearing Kokushibo's voice and knowing that he was not dead, Douma was actually disappointed.

But Akaza was delighted in his heart.

All of this was accurately captured by Wuzan.

Then, in just a moment, Kokushibo's purple figure suddenly appeared on the wooden floor where everyone was.

As fast as lightning, as quick as thunder.

Douma tilted his head and said, "Ah, so you are not dead, that's great~"

Kokushibo turned around and glanced at Douma indifferently with his six eyes.

"clang--"

The sound of a pipa brought everyone's attention back to Mingnu and Muzan.

Wuzan stood in the center, and said with red lips: "Now everyone is here."

The audience was silent.

Muzan continued, "I called all of you here even though no upper rank has died, mainly to change the policy we have been following.

"It's been hundreds of years? Do you need me to count for you? I asked you to find the blue red spider lily, did you find it? I asked you to find the location of the Ubuyashiki clan, did you do it? How did you have the nerve to show off to other low-level ghosts and declare that you are the upper moon of the twelve ghost moons?

"Are you... worthy?"

"I... have nothing to say." The leader of the Upper Ranks, Kokushibo, obediently replied, "The Ubuyashiki clan is very cunning and has cleverly hidden their whereabouts."

At this time, Yuhu suddenly shook his head and shouted excitedly: "Master Muzan! Listen to me, I have finally found an important place of theirs after great efforts!"

Wuzan looked at Yuhu coldly, his eyes full of contempt and sarcasm.

How dare Yuhu talk about this? In his previous life, he and Hantengu rushed to give themselves up, and none of the pillars and the protagonists died, but they killed a few unknown swordsmiths. They were simply cannon fodder among cannon fodder.

Let’s not talk about the protagonist Hantengou who has a growth-oriented golden finger given by the author, but what about Yuhu?

How could he be killed by a 14-year-old?!

"Jade pot..."

Wuzan walked slowly towards Yuhu, then raised his foot and kicked the ceramic pot under Yuhu hard, breaking it into pieces. He then stepped hard on his face, trampling on it left and right.

Yu Hu screamed: "Ah, my work of art..."

He fell weakly on the floor, suddenly remembered something, and his face turned red again.

“It was Master Muzan’s foot that did it, and now this precious foot is stepping on me again.

Hmm...I like it so much..."

Yu Hu's heartbeat clearly entered Wuzan's mind.

Muzan felt sick and finally stomped hard on Yuhu's face, making it concave. Only then did he stop in anger.

I only heard Yu Hu continue to think -

"Ah, one book is enough..."

"..." Muzan was silent for a moment, looking at Yuhu expressionlessly, and said, "Yuhu, although you are an upper-rank five, to be honest, I think your strength may not be as good as Jifutaro."

The prostitute Taro, who was suddenly named, was shocked and felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Similarly, Daki's cheeks flushed because her brother was praised.

"Lord Muzan!" The despised Yuhu hurried to prove his strength, "Believe me, that's the place I found with great difficulty. I will definitely prove to you that you didn't misjudge me!"

Wu Can's face was as cold as ice: "Really? Okay then."

“Lord Muzan…?” The eyes under Yuhu’s nose raised up and revealed a “smile”.

"From today on, for the next three years, you are not to eat humans anymore."

"...Ah?" Yu Hu's "smile" gradually disappeared.

This is... asking him to go on a hunger strike?

Muzan pointed at Kokushibo and said, "I seldom eat humans anymore. And Kokushibo and Akaza, they only eat when they are very hungry. I have always encouraged you to eat more, but now I think that as an upper rank, you should rely more on your own training."

"Ah? But Master Muzan..."

Douma was about to say something with a bitter face, but Muzan yelled at him fiercely: "Shut up."

“……” Douma was choked by the stab and could only blink his eyes and remain silent.

"Three years." Muzan held up three fingers. "If you can hold out for three years without eating humans, you will continue to sit on the throne of the Upper Moon. If anyone can't do that, I will cut them into several equal parts, and then have the demons who can hold out absorb them."

Douma's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He felt as if he was not far from the end.

"In addition," Muzan continued, "everyone hide your identity and don't reveal it. I'm very busy, and I will summon you one by one later."

As Muzan finished speaking, Mingnu raised the pick in her hand.

A dry pipa sound was heard.

After that, Muzan's figure disappeared before everyone's eyes...

***

After returning to the halfway point of the dense forest mountain, Muzan saw that it was almost time, so he picked the designated flowers and returned to the mountain smoothly within the scheduled time.

Gotanda Shirou, who had been waiting for a long time, was very pleased: "Xiao Wu, you have made more progress than I thought."

Wuzan smiled shyly: "Master, when I was in the red-light district, I had to hold a very heavy pipa and dance until the customers were satisfied, so my physical strength is actually very good."

The girl spoke freely, her slender figure was very soft and her waist was like a petal that could be folded.

Gotanda looked at her and suddenly felt sad. He sighed and said, "My child, you have suffered a lot."

However, Gotanda immediately "overturned himself" and made a request to Muzan that was even more difficult than dancing.

"Let's go through the thorn bushes and pick the colorful mushrooms that can only be found in the west..."

……

Gotanda's requests were endless, and once one was fulfilled, there would be another. The main purpose was to train the apprentice's physical strength, evasion ability, and resistance to different environments.

Naturally, Muzan pretended to be scratched by thorns several times before, which made his senior brother Abe Shi very distressed. Of course, he couldn't do those things for Muzan because he also had a mission assigned by Gotanda Shirou.

Finally, a month later, Muzan successfully picked the colorful mushrooms within the specified time.

On the day when Muzan successfully picked the mushrooms, Abeshi took advantage of the fact that his master was away after dinner and quietly said to Muzan: "Xiaowu, joining the Demon Slayer Corps is a life-threatening journey. I suggest you don't go."

Wuzan shook his head: "No, I want to go."

"Why?" Abe asked.

"Because..." Muzan pursed his lips shyly, "Because the salary of a swordsman is much higher than that of Chouya."

Abe Shi: “…”

The young man clenched his fists, and after thinking deeply, he asked Muzan solemnly, "What if... there is a swordsman willing to give you this money?"

"What?" Wuzan was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what the young boy in front of him meant.

After a moment's silence, she said, "But I have a lot of expenses."

"What if he's of a higher rank?"

"That's not enough."

"What if he becomes a pillar?"

——If you become a pillar, you can collect your salary freely.

Muzan shook his head: "It's a pity that there is no such pillar, so I still have to be a swordsman."

Abe was silent for a moment, then stood up and said softly, "It will happen."

He picked up the Nichirin Sword and continued to practice.

……

As Muzan completed the strange tasks assigned by Gotanda one after another, Gotanda Shirou finally began to teach her the secret of Wind Breathing.

“There are five basic breathing methods: rock, wind, water, thunder, and fire. In addition, there are other methods that can be derived from these five breathing methods.

"What we are going to learn is the Breath of Wind, one of the five basic breathing techniques.

"The characteristics of wind breathing are persistence, intensity, and continuity, just like a hurricane. First, squat down and do a horse stance for me to see."

Gotanda demonstrated as he spoke.

"Yes." Wuzan nodded, then spread his legs and squatted.

Seeing the girl follow suit, Gotanda nodded approvingly: "Very good, very standard."

"Master, that's because I was very good at singing and dancing when I was in the prostitute house. I can learn the dances of others just by watching them a few times."

"Really?" Gotanda smiled.

"It turns out he's a good candidate unexpectedly..."

"Breathe, sink your qi into your dantian, and let the oxygen in the air fully penetrate into every capillary of your body." Old man Gotanda instructed.

Wuchan did as he was told.

The first few times, she had some difficulty getting the hang of it; but after trying for a few days, she finally found the trick.

——However, it still did not meet Gotanda’s standards.

So until now, Muzan has done nothing but run through the mountains while breathing.

Muzan thought that since she was either picking flowers or mushrooms every day, it would be more practical to let her chop wood and fetch water. It would be exercise anyway.

But she suddenly remembered that she hadn't visited Miss Li for a long time, and she didn't know if she could maintain this first alias.

"Really, I totally forgot about this.

Mingnu——!”

……

While visiting Guo Xianggu's pavilion, Mingnu, who suddenly heard Muzan's voice, became so nervous that she almost broke the strings of her pipa.

"How dare you!" Guasheng jumped out and pointed at Mingnu and shouted, then turned around and said to the blond foreigner with blue eyes with a smile, "Don't blame me, sir. This is not an employee of our store. She is the friend of this new man."

"Yoshi, never mind (it doesn't matter)~" The foreigner waved his hand, "Continue playing music, continue dancing."

"Thump, thump, thump..." Mingnu continued to play the pipa.

I heard Wuzan’s voice again——

"Minaru, take me to Asakusa, Tokyo, to Miss Rei's place."

Mingnu raised the plectrum and calmly performed the blood demon technique in front of everyone.

"clang--!"

The clear sound of the pipa.

***

Asakusa, Tokyo.

In a dark alley beside a busy street, a girl in a fencing outfit quietly appeared at the entrance.

She looked around, silently wondering where Miss Li might be at this moment.

At this moment, a greasy male voice came from behind -

"Hi, pretty girl."

Wuzan frowned.

She turned back speechlessly, and what came into her sight were three slightly familiar faces.

She remembered that in her previous two lives, she met them in this place as a man.

I had already said "I'm sorry" to calm things down, but this person just kept looking for trouble. He said things like "You look so pale, you look like you won't live long" and kept hitting on other people's sensitive points. In the end, Muzan had no choice but to kill them all.

Unexpectedly, I met them again now.

"Xiao Ba, who are you talking to?"

The woman with lipstick on her face asked with a smile behind the man called Xiao Ba.

Xiao Ba stared at Wuzan's delicate face with a lewd look, and with a wicked smile, he pushed Wuzan against the wall, and said, thinking he was very handsome: "Hey, little girl, do you want to have a drink with us?"

"Heh." Wuzan sneered, not even bothering to look at him, "Get out of my way."

"What did you say to my brother, you little bitch?" The bald man who was nearly two meters tall came over aggressively, "We invited you to give you face, don't be shameless."

Wuzan looked at the three of them and said coldly: "I don't drink."

"You have to drink today, whether you want to or not!"

The bald man shouted arrogantly, then raised his hand and slapped Muzan in the face.

Wuzan raised his eyes, and a hint of blood flashed in them.

"Lowly ants."

She just raised her right hand slightly, and a crisp snap of her fingers rang in the air.

The next second, the bald man's pupils shrank suddenly, and overwhelming fear crawled all over his body...

……

Three minutes later, Muzan walked out of the alley leisurely in men's clothing.

The alley behind him was completely empty.

"Wasting my time."

Wuzan was too lazy to comment on this matter.

He raised his hand to stop a rickshaw, and then went straight to Miss Li's residence.

……

Miss Li's residence.

When Wuzan arrived, Miss Li was playing with toys with her daughter on the sofa.

When she saw Muzan after a long separation, Miss Li's beautiful face showed a moment of surprise, and then turned into indifference.

"Mr. Yueyan, where have you been these days?" Miss Li said sarcastically without looking at him.

Wuzan walked up to the mother and daughter and picked up a small building block. "I was just about to tell you about this. There was a problem with the company's accounts. For this matter, I went out of town in person. I should have been back soon, but when we passed a remote place, our car broke down and we got lost. After I finally came back, I changed into clean clothes and came to see you right away. If you don't believe me, you can smell it. I still smell the soil from the mountains."

He lied without hesitation and even put his sleeve to Miss Li's nose, looking at her seriously with a sincere face.
