Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Chapter 110 The Blind Samurai

"Tired? What's he doing here? Could it be because of what happened last night? Should I open the door and see him?"

Tianyi Mengxiang was unsure how to face Li Lei, who was knocking on the door outside the courtyard.

"Bang, bang, crash."

"Sister Mengxiang, I know you're in there, please open the door."

Li Lei's knocking continued, but there was no response. Tianyi Mengxiang paced back and forth in the courtyard, trying to figure out how to deal with Li Lei.

Finally, after Li Lei's persistent knocking, Tianyi Mengxiang arrived at the courtyard gate, but she did not open it.

"I'm tired. Why are you here looking for me so late at night instead of sleeping? I'm about to go to sleep."

Through the courtyard gate, Tianyi Mengxiang spoke to Li Lei, whether out of guilt or fear.

"Sister Mengxiang, please open the door. I need to come in and tell you about what happened today."

Li Lei spoke gently to Ten'i Moka on the other side of the courtyard gate.

"Tired? What are you talking about? Did anything important happen today? I don't know anything about it."

"Sister Mengxiang, I..."

"I'm tired. Stop talking. You're sick today, but it's all just your imagination."

With a blush, Ten'i Moka denied the fact that she was tired from kissing.

Li Lei: "But..."

"No buts. What happened today was all an illusion. You must be sick and misremembered," said Tianyi Mengxiang, her face flushed and steaming, leaning against the door, resolutely denying what Li Lei had said.

Upon hearing Tianyi Mengxiang's reply, Li Lei gently slid his hand across the courtyard gate in front of him. The door was several meters high, and Li Lei could have easily entered using various methods. However, considering Tianyi Mengxiang's current strange condition, Li Lei abandoned the idea.

"I'm tired. It's almost midnight. I need to go to sleep."

Li Lei looked at the moon, which had just risen into the sky. It hadn't even been dark long! ╮(﹀_﹀”)╭

"Okay, Sister Mengxiang, I'm sorry to bother you. I'll come see you again in a few days," Li Lei said calmly.

Li Lei knew that Tianyi Mengxiang's reluctance to open the door was because of what had just happened that day; she hadn't yet processed it and didn't know what to do.

Ten minutes later, Ten'i Moka slowly opened the courtyard gate and poked her head out to check if Li Lei had left.

After seeing that Li Lei had left, Ten'i Moka felt both relieved and disappointed.

"They've left? That's good. It's good that this matter is over."

Amane Moka muttered to herself, then slowly closed the courtyard gate.

Li Lei, hiding behind a tree a hundred meters away, watched as Tianyi Mengxiang closed the courtyard gate before turning and leaving.

In Yoshiwara, at the shop where Upper Moon Six, Daffy, was staying, Li Lei sat cross-legged, drinking one cup after another, as if he would never get drunk, constantly pouring more wine into his cup.

"Damn it, there's no taste of alcohol at all. This wine is impossible to drink."

Li Lei suddenly swept several bottles containing high-concentration liquor off the table with his hand.

The bottle shattered on the ground, scattering countless fragments and the aroma of wine.

The people around who were drinking looked distressed. "Such good wine, don't waste it like this! If you don't want it, you can give it to us! Where did this damn kid get so much money? He actually bought all the best wine in the store!"

After drinking it, they actually said it had no taste and smashed it all. Normally, that's the kind of good wine we'd be reluctant to spend money on.

"My lord, who dares to anger you? Tell Daki, and Daki will go and have him killed."

"I am sitting to the side, pouring wine for Li Lei," said the girl with a smile.

Li Lei turned to look at the smug-looking Duo Ji beside him, his tone calm but with a hint of questioning.

"Do I look angry right now? You think I look ugly and ridiculous, right?"

"My lord, it's not like that, I dare not, I just..." Du Ji, realizing that something was wrong with Li Lei, was instantly frightened.

As the current Lower Moon One Rui, who is even stronger than her older brother Gyutaro, Daki is terrified every time she sees Rui. She fears that he might suddenly launch a bloody battle against her and her brother Gyutaro.

Li Lei stood up, lowered his head slightly to look at the kneeling Upper Moon Six, Daki, and gently lifted her chin with his hand.

"You're clearly very good-looking, so why are you so stupid? Don't you know the difference between us?"

Li Lei gently rubbed Duo Ji's fair face with his hand. "Hmm—your skin feels nice. Alright, since you're very pretty, I'll forgive your disrespect this time. Don't do it again."

Finally, the samurai who had been drinking nearby couldn't stand it any longer. He got up, kicked over the table in front of him, and strode towards Li Lei.

"You brat, don't think you can bully her just because you have a few bucks. She's the most beautiful courtesan. If you bully her, believe me, I'll kill you right now."

"Haha, look at this ugly thing, trying to play the hero and save the beauty, huh?" Li Lei said, his arm around Duo Ji, his words full of mockery towards the samurai.

"You...bastard!" the samurai roared angrily.

"Get out of my way, you stinking monster! Who asked you to meddle in my business?" Daki yelled at the samurai who stepped forward.

"But—I'm doing this for you! He treated you like that, and I'm just standing up for you because I'm so angry."

"Who needs your help? Look at yourself in the mirror! What a horrible sight you are! Do you even deserve to help me?"

Daki's words instantly broke the samurai's guard. The broken samurai was filled with rage, staring intently at Li Lei.
