Demon Slayer: Can I add points to my Breathing Technique?

This attracted curious glances from the surrounding diners.

"Hahaha! Well said!"

"Just watch quietly? Indeed, this guy will probably unleash a magnificent spectacle we can't even imagine in the future!"

What are you talking about?

Xia Xi just happened to lift the curtain and come out at that moment.

The tray in his hand was filled with steaming hot fried noodles and sushi.

Not only their table, but also the dishes for the other tables were efficiently taken care of by Xia Xi.

Tianyuan picked up a piece of Xiaxi's noodles with his chopsticks, and his eyes widened after taking a bite.

"Wow! This is even more magnificent than the previous one! You're amazing, not only in swordsmanship and medicine, but even your cooking is... Your future wife is so lucky!"

If I were a woman, I might have become obsessed with Xia Xi just for that one bite.

As he spoke, he deliberately shifted his mocking gaze between Xia Xi and Kanae.

Kanae blushed and softly scolded, "Mr. Uzui!"

Xia Xi: ?

What nonsense are you talking about?

Tengen laughed heartily as he downed half a cup of sake, and the conversation gradually shifted to trivial matters outside of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Kanae talks about her past, which was also destroyed by evil spirits.

And her younger sister, Shinobu, with whom she depended on each other for survival.

Xia Xi: "So it was the Stone Pillar who saved you, the one trained by Mr. Daimatsu... Kanae, how strong is she?"

Uzui: "You actually have a younger sister? Just like you, a girl as dazzling as a jewel, right?"

Kanae is on her guard!

Kanae immediately switched to "protective sister" mode: "She's still a pure and gentle child!"

Tianyuan waved his hand: "Don't worry, I have three wives already, I won't provoke anyone else."

Xia Xi: Can we please stop talking about this damn topic...?

Kanae asked with some curiosity, "Mr. Uzui, how did you meet... and get together with them?"

"After all, although you speak frivolously, are uncouth, not well-read, and love to make strange noises..."

"But in the end, he wasn't some dissolute lecher."

Uzui: ?_?

This brat, she's definitely getting revenge on me, isn't she?

"Yes, it was all arranged by the family, and they are also my most reliable partners."

Tianyuan smiled, a complex emotion flashing deep in his eyes, and his voice lowered slightly.

Clearly, they were unwilling to discuss the past of the ninja clan.

He then asked Xia Xi, "And you, Xia Xi, what's your story?"

Xia Xi: Me?

As a player, if you want to quickly defeat the Demon King and then hang her up and make her a star slave, does that count?

After a pause, Xia Xi still chose to recite the familiar character description.

"Nothing special, my family members all died."

"My sister... was later killed by a ghost as well."

His tone was calm, yet it brought an immediate silence to the table.

Even he himself said that under such realistic night and warm light, he almost believed the melancholy brought about by this "setting".

Uzui and Kanae exchanged a glance, clearly thinking more about what Xia Xi had said in such a concise way.

He also has a younger sister...

The girl thought of her younger sister who was still alive, and her gaze toward Xia Xi became more tender and understanding.

Family...

Yu Sui also stopped joking and patted Xia Xi on the shoulder.

"I see. No wonder you fought so hard when you were killing ghosts."

The atmosphere was becoming somewhat quiet.

Three smartly dressed, beautiful women with distinct personalities quietly appeared beside the stall.

He respectfully addressed Tengen, saying, "Lord Tengen, you are here."

"The lord has sent a new mission; we must depart tonight."

Xia Xi: ?

His gaze swept over the three women's capable figures, then looked at Tianyuan beside him, who was raising his eyebrows smugly, and he was speechless for a moment.

I'm so envious, bro.

Chapter 46 The First Time I Skipped the Bill

Tengen immediately resumed his signature flamboyant pose and turned to introduce himself to Xia Xi and Kanae.

"Here are my wives."

They are three girls with different appearances and temperaments.

He looked to be about the same age as Kanae, who was standing next to him.

A gentle girl with a beautiful figure and a beauty mark under her eye, wearing a single ponytail.

A vibrant young woman with golden-yellow hair, a beautiful figure, and eyes brimming with energy.

Finally, there was a short-haired girl with a good figure and a timid expression standing behind the two.

In short, all three have impressive physiques that far exceed those of their peers.

【Hinatsugu Tanezaki (Ability Level: 27)】Ninjutsu LV.3

【Ishigami Makio (Level: 22)】Ninjutsu LV.2

【Higashiyama Suma (Ability Level: 16)】Ninjutsu LV.1

Xia Xi: ...

He understood that his attributes were higher than those of ordinary people.

He also understood that he possessed specialized professional skills.

But what he didn't understand was...

Why would ninjas dress so provocatively?!

Why is your ninja wearing black stockings?! Why is your ninja wearing thigh-high socks?! Why is your ninja wearing fishnet stockings?!

Xia Xi strongly suspects that the three girls' clothing is entirely due to Yu Sui's personal quirks.

"How about it? Aren't my three wives gorgeous!"

Hua Li gave Xia Xi a bright smile and a thumbs up.

Xia Xi: "Uzui, why don't we build Konoha together?"

"I'll be the Hokage, you'll be Root."

Yu Sui looked bewildered.

What nonsense is this kid spouting now?

He downed the sake in his cup in one gulp, stood up, and said, "Then, this concludes tonight's lavish banquet."

"I will have to set off on my mission shortly."

"See you another day, gentlemen!"

Yu Sui waved casually at Xia Xi and the other person, then quickly formed a hand seal.

With a soft "pop," white smoke rose up.

The next second, it transformed into an upward afterimage and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Wow, that's amazing! It really is ninjutsu!"

Kanae covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise.

Xia Xi simply pursed her lips, not exposing the ninja's methods.

Because his strength far surpassed that of Uzui, the opponent made a feint to mislead the eye, threw a smoke bomb to distract the viewer, and finally used his breathing technique to quickly slip away from another direction...

Xia Xi saw it all.

"Lord Uzui has caused you trouble!"

The three girls bowed to them and then hurriedly followed the direction Yu Sui had left in.

Xia Xi sighed, "What an enviable guy."

Kanae squinted and asked Natsumi with a smile, "Kusha-kun, are you envious of Uzui-san?"

The boy's hair swayed slightly, and he vaguely sensed a subtle sense of threat.

However, he still expressed his thoughts.

Very frank.

He was so honest that Kanae didn't feel any pretense at all.

"As a man, of course I'm envious."
