I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

【Um, I'd like to borrow your Tranquil Gemstone, Sirin.】

.................................................. ................

In the world of Demon Slayer, following Shinobu Kocho, Giyu Tomioka, and others to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, Ji Lin looked at the outdoor courtyard of the headquarters and said with a curious expression:

"Speaking of which, doesn't having the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters in such a remote location affect people's lives?"

Upon hearing Ji Lin's question, Shinobu Kocho, who was standing nearby, smiled and said to Ji Lin:

"Ah... don't worry about that. And don't worry about supplies either; there will be people specifically handling those things."

After hearing Shinobu's explanation, Ji Lin nodded to indicate that he understood.

Soon, led by Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka, Ji Lin and the others arrived at a reception room.

Inside, Ji Lin saw a man with terrifying scars, none other than the Demon Slayer Corps' leader, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who was kneeling quietly on a cushion, looking at Ji Lin as he entered the reception room and saying:

"Welcome, Miss Ji Lin."

.................................................. ...................

After introducing himself, Kagaya Ubuyashiki expressed his gratitude to Hime Rin for providing the ghoul clues. Hime Rin waved her hand in response to Kagaya Ubuyashiki's thanks, saying that it was nothing to worry about, since she had only provided some minor information.

Shinobu Kocho, who was standing nearby, said that it was thanks to Hime Rin's information that they were able to figure out how many people the Demon Slayer Corps would have died before they could find out about the ghouls.

Upon hearing Shinobu's words, Hime Lin blinked, looking puzzled. To be honest, she couldn't understand why so many Demon Slayer Corps members would have to be sacrificed just to investigate information.

However, at that moment, the other Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps also returned.

Chapter 465 [The Demon Slayer Corps Hashira Assemble]

In the reception room of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, the nine Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps arrived and knelt on cushions, looking at Hime Rin, who was in the guest seats, with great curiosity.

After all, they had originally thought that the person mentioned in their lord's report who knew about the future of the Demon Slayer Corps was some old man or something, but they never expected it to be such a young child...

The wind pillar [Sanemi Shinazugawa], kneeling on the cushion, felt a sense of wariness as he looked at Ji Lin sitting on the cushion. For some reason, he always felt that there was a sharp aura about Ji Lin.

This struck Shinazugawa Sanemi as very strange, but for the time being, Shinazugawa Sanemi was simply watching Ji Lin quietly, and rarely did he not cause any trouble.

Meanwhile, the Love Pillar [Kanroji Mitsuri] saw Hime Rin wearing an expression that seemed to be trying hard to hold back something.

Ahhh~ What an adorable child~

The Serpent Pillar next to the Love Pillar, Obanai Iguro, noticed that his partner, the snake Kaburamaru kept by Obanai Iguro, was coiled around his neck as if in fear.

Obanai Iguro stroked the frightened Kaburamaru, then looked at Hime Rin sitting on the cushion. To be honest, this was the first time Obanai Iguro had ever seen Kaburamaru so afraid. Even when facing demons, Kaburamaru had never been afraid, which puzzled Obanai Iguro greatly.

Could it be that the little girl is a monster in disguise?

The other two pillars, the Sound Pillar [Uzui Tengen] and the Flame Pillar [Rengoku Kyojuro], felt that Hime Rin was "not flashy enough" and "not passionate enough".

The Mist Hashira, Tokito Muichiro, stared blankly at the ceiling, seemingly lost in thought.

Himejima Gyomei, kneeling on the cushion, also noticed the aura emanating from Ji Lin. As a blind man, Himejima Gyomei's other senses were still quite sharp.

Beiming Yuxingming could sense that Ji Lin possessed an extremely powerful aura, which felt like wind, thunder, and the sun.

It's really quite strange...

Of course, although Himejima Gyoumei couldn't see Ji Lin's appearance, according to the report from the raven, it seemed to be a little girl named Ji Lin. Although he didn't know why a little girl had such a powerful aura, he didn't know whether Ji Lin was friend or foe, so Himejima Gyoumei remained vigilant.

Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka each have their own distinct expressions: one has a beaming smile, while the other has a completely expressionless face.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded to Hime Rin and said:

“Miss Ji Lin, first of all, I would like to thank you for helping to get rid of the demons on Mount Natagumo and rescue the victims.”

Upon hearing Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words, Hime Rin waved her hand somewhat shyly and said:

"No, no, no, I didn't actually do anything. Even if I hadn't come to the Demon Slayer Corps, you guys would have taken care of the demons on Natagumo."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki shook his head and said:

“No, Miss Ji Lin, I am very familiar with the investigation report about Mount Natagumo. If it weren’t for you, many of our ordinary members of the Demon Slayer Corps would probably have died at the hands of those five demons, not to mention that the Lower Moon 5 of the Twelve Demon Moons is also on Mount Natagumo.”

After hearing Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words, the Pillars present also gained a certain understanding of Hime Rin's strength. Even the Lower Moon among the Twelve Demon Moons is not a target that ordinary Demon Slayer Corps members can defeat, except for the Pillars, of course.

If the Lower Rank Demon's Blood Demon Art is difficult to deal with, even the Pillars might find themselves in a tough fight.

To be honest, it's astonishing that Ji Lin, who looks only twelve or thirteen years old, could single-handedly and easily eliminate four demons and a Lower Moon Five on Mount Natagumo. His strength is at least comparable to that of a Pillar.

The youngest pillar on their side, Muichiro Tokito, is only 14 years old.

Tokito Muichiro still had the same blank expression as before, as if he hadn't heard a word spoken by those present.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki then added:

"And Miss Ji Lin, I am also very grateful for your help in saving those people who were turned into spiders by ghosts."

In response to Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words, Hime Rin shook her head and said:

"No, it's what I should do. After all, I know that those spiders were turned into spiders because they were affected by the ghost's poison."

Then Ji Lin said to Ubuyashiki Kagaya:

"Mr. Ubuyashiki, you invited me to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters today to ask me about the future of the Demon Slayer Corps, right?"

Upon hearing Ji Lin directly inquire about the reason for his invitation, Ubuyashiki Kagaya cut to the chase and said:

"Yes, Miss Ji Lin, this matter is extremely important to our Demon Slayer Corps. It might just be the key to our Demon Slayer Corps eliminating Muzan Kibutsuji."

The Pillars standing nearby were also shocked after hearing Kagaya Ubuyashiki and Hime Rin's conversation. Tengen Uzui even had a "(? Д ?*)" expression on his face as he said:

"Really?! Information about the future of the Demon Slayer Corps?! This is unbelievably amazing?!"

Then, Gyomei Himejima, who was standing to the side, asked Tengen Uzui to be quiet and listen to Kagaya Ubuyashiki's arrangements.

After hearing what Kagaya Ubuyashiki said, Ji Lin also said the same thing to Kagaya Ubuyashiki:

"Yes, I will tell you about the future of the Demon Slayer Corps, but before that, I have some things to remind Mr. Ubuyashiki."

Ji Lin raised his index finger and said to Ubuyashiki Kagaya:

"The Muzan Kibutsuji of this world has mutated!"

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Ubuyashiki Kagaya, unusually, frowned slightly. He then asked Ji Lin:

"Muzan Kibutsuji has mutated? Miss Ji Lin, has Muzan Kibutsuji undergone any changes that will affect his future?"

In response to Kagaya Ubuyashiki's question, Hime Rin explained:

"Mr. Ubuyashiki, do you still remember those ghouls I mentioned?"

Ghouls?

Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded and said:

"Hmm, it was you, Miss Himeko, who told Shinobu and the others about ghouls. Could it be that the appearance of ghouls has something to do with Muzan Kibutsuji?"

Ji Lin nodded in response to Kagaya Ubuyashiki's question and said:

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, Muzan Kibutsuji must have eaten the ghouls from another world."

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, a huge question mark appeared above everyone's heads. Why did Kibutsuji Muzan sound like some kind of idiot who would randomly pick up anything from the ground and eat it...?

Meanwhile, Muichiro Tokito remained in a daze.

Chapter 466 [Ji Lin's Shock to Everyone]

After Ji Lin's explanation, Kagaya Ubuyashiki and the other Pillars understood what had happened to Muzan Kibutsuji. According to Ji Lin, Muzan Kibutsuji gained the abilities of a ghoul after absorbing it.

Now, in addition to creating demons, Muzan Kibutsuji can also create ghouls, and Muzan Kibutsuji himself also has the abilities of a ghoul. This news is absolutely terrible.

However, just when everyone was feeling overwhelmed, Ji Lin, who was sitting on a cushion nearby, said to the people present:

"However, there is good news: Muzan Kibutsuji did not inherit the ghoul's ability to withstand sunlight."

Upon hearing this good news, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. However, Shinazugawa Sanemi, whose face bore a hideous scar, frowned and looked at Ji Lin, saying:

"Wait, how did you find out about this?"

Those present looked at Ji Lin with puzzled expressions upon hearing Shinazugawa Sanemi's words. Although Shinazugawa Sanemi's words were somewhat unreasonable, the people present were still curious about how Ji Lin knew that Kibutsuji Muzan had not inherited the ghoul's ability to withstand sunlight.

Regarding Shinazugawa Sanemi's question, Ji Lin explained to Shinazugawa Sanemi and the others:

"Well, as for how I found out about this information, after I said goodbye to Butterfly Sister, I went to Asakusa to wait for Muzan Kibutsuji."

Squat, squat Ghost Dance Tsuji Mukai! ?

Upon hearing Ji Lin's answer, everyone present was both shocked and utterly bewildered. Who was Kibutsuji Muzan? The progenitor of demons, arguably the strongest among them! They hadn't expected Ji Lin to be so audacious as to dare to ambush Kibutsuji Muzan alone...

To be honest, this shocked them greatly...

Ji Lin's next words then made everyone's jaws drop.

"It's a pity that we almost killed Muzan Kibutsuji."

"Almost killed Muzan Kibutsuji?! "

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, everyone present was startled. Ji Lin, oblivious to their expressions, continued speaking:

"To be honest, I didn't expect that Muzan Kibutsuji could split himself in two to dodge my attack. It's a bit hard to believe."

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Ubuyashiki Kagaya, who was standing to the side, looked at Ji Lin with great confusion and asked:

"Um, Miss Ji Lin, how did you manage to assassinate Muzan Kibutsuji?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki was not without doubt about what weapon Hime Rin used to kill Muzan Kibutsuji, since Hime Rin was not carrying any weapon at the moment, and only the Demon Slayer Corps knew where the materials for making Nichirin Blades and the swordsmiths were.

Upon hearing Kagaya Ubuyashiki's question, Ji Lin also took out his Xuanyuan Sword from the dimensional cave. Looking at the golden Xuanyuan Sword in Ji Lin's hand, the people looked at it with some surprise. To be honest, it was the first time they had ever seen such a straight sword, especially one that was so golden.

This prompted Uzui Tengen, who was standing nearby, to exclaim in amazement, "What a magnificent sword!"

Well... judging from its appearance, the Xuanyuan Sword in Ji Lin's hand looks quite magnificent, as if it were made of gold. Moreover, the patterns carved on the sword and the gems inlaid on it also enhance its visual appeal.

Shinazugawa Sanemi frowned slightly as he looked at the Xuanyuan Sword in Ji Lin's hand, because he felt that the weapon in Ji Lin's hand was more like an ornament than a weapon.

Most importantly... was that sword really a weapon made of gold?

You know, gold is much heavier than iron...

But the little girl named Ji Lin lifted the weapon with one hand with ease, as if it were a piece of cotton.

Could it be that the little girl named Ji Lin is also a girl with superhuman strength like Kanroji Mitsuri?

(Perhaps it was because Ji Lin's Xuanyuan Sword was so eye-catching that the people present subconsciously overlooked the scene where Ji Lin took the Xuanyuan Sword out of the dimensional hole.)

Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at the Xuanyuan Sword in Ji Lin's hand, stroked his chin, and said:
