what!

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Shinobu's eyes narrowed. How could this be! How could he know that this wish was once her sister's wish?

However, Lin Ye did not explain to her. He continued, "Your sister was indeed a gentle person. She always sympathized with ghosts and even mourned for them before she died. And you, who inherited her last wish, have gradually become a gentle person as well."

"Gentle? If I could? I would rather I never be this gentle." Shinobu took a deep breath, and at that moment, she also remembered the scene before her sister died.

"Why feel sorry for the evil spirits who killed people? My sister has been searching for a way to make ghosts and humans coexist peacefully without killing them, but unfortunately, she knows that she will not succeed in the end."

Shinobu Kocho looked at Lin Ye as she finished speaking. "From the moment my sister learned of the existence of the Dragon Balls, she had been searching for them. She wanted to use their power to change everything, but unfortunately, she never got to see what they actually looked like."

At this point, Shinobu Kocho lowered her head silently. "And now, the Dragon Balls have appeared, and my sister's wish has a chance to come true. But she will never see it again. I once thought that if I had the Dragon Balls, I would wish for all the demons to turn back into humans, so that all the demons would disappear. But when I actually saw the Dragon Balls, I regretted it."

Shinobu's voice grew increasingly cold, and Lin Ye could even see her slender hands slightly red from the force she was using. However, Shinobu continued speaking, seemingly unconcerned.

"I regret it. Those despicable demons, they have no rationality in their self-preservation and only know how to kill based on instinct. Why did I waste such a precious Dragon Ball to save them? If miracles really exist in the world, why can't it be kind people who enjoy them?"

Shinobu Kocho stopped there. She felt her emotions were getting out of control. If she hadn't met Lin Ye, she probably would never have spoken her true feelings.

But had I disappointed him? Perhaps I wasn't the gentle person he imagined… However…

The next second, Shinobu Kocho felt her hand being held by a warm hand. Shinobu quickly looked up, and only then did she see that Lin Ye had opened her hand and silently placed two Dragon Balls in it.

Then, Lin Ye said to her quite casually, "You're right. If miracles really happen, why can't the kind people be the ones to enjoy them?"

"Lin Ye! You!!" Shinobu Kocho stared at Lin Ye in shock. She couldn't understand why Lin Ye would give her such a precious dragon ball.

This is a Dragon Ball!

Lin Ye certainly wouldn't tell her that he gave her the Dragon Balls because they were no longer useful to him. He had already obtained the points from those two Dragon Balls, and keeping them was just a waste of their value.

Lin Ye silently withdrew his hand, and then he spoke to Shinobu Kocho in front of him.

"Take them, you need them more than I do."

brush!

With just that one sentence, Shinobu's entire defenses were instantly shattered! Shinobu had always been calm, but even the calmest person couldn't remain so at this moment!

She knew Lin Ye's strength all too well; even if all nine Pillars attacked together, they might not be able to win. He was definitely the most likely person to eventually collect all the Dragon Balls, so why would someone like him give the Dragon Balls to her?

Doesn't this mean he gave up everything a man wants: wealth, power, beautiful women, life itself?

How could she possibly control herself in the face of a man like that?

Faced with such a favor, how will she repay it?

Chapter 49 Infinite Train!

Repay a favor? With what?

With his meager strength? Someone who can instantly kill Shinazugawa Sanemi, why would he care about his own meager strength?

My own medical skills? Forget it, isn't it better to have someone wish for immortality than anything else?

What do I have left...?

Myself?

Thinking of this, Shinobu Kocho silently looked at Lin Ye in front of her. She was quite confident in her looks, but the problem was, if Lin Ye was only after a woman, with the Dragon Balls, what kind of woman couldn't he have?

At this moment, Shinobu Kocho truly felt the pressure.

Debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay, but she couldn't refuse this one.

Seeing the silent Shinobu Kocho, Lin Ye patted her shoulder and said...

"Alright, don't overthink it. The Dragon Balls aren't as important to me as you think."

Lin Ye spoke casually. But the more casually Lin Ye spoke, the less Shinobu Kocho believed him. At this moment, she could only look at Lin Ye with utmost seriousness and silently think to herself...

What I owe you, I will repay. Even if it takes my whole life.

Lin Ye finally saw a different kind of light in Shinobu's eyes—a light full of hope and unwavering determination.

Lin Ye remained silent; he knew Shinobu Kocho all too well. This woman, who would poison herself to kill Doma, was unwavering in her resolve; once she made up her mind about something, nothing could change it.

After Lin Ye gave away two Dragon Balls, his score was still 700, just three short. Now it was time to take action.

"Alright, Little Bean, get ready, then call the other three. We're going to take the train."

Lin Ye had already memorized the locations of the remaining Dragon Balls. One of them was on the famous Infinite Train, and he certainly wouldn't let those 100 points slip by.

"Taking the train?" Hearing Lin Ye say this, Shinobu Kocho recalled her conversation with Kyojuro Rengoku before he left that morning. Wasn't he going to ride that Mugen Train?

"Lin Ye, that Infinite Train may very well contain the Twelve Ghost Moons. You... be careful."

Hearing Shinobu's concerned words, Lin Ye revealed an extremely confident smile and said...

"Don't worry, it's just two Ghost Months. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

After Lin Ye finished speaking, he took Nezuko and walked outside. Watching Lin Ye's retreating figure, Shinobu Kocho felt worried, but remembering Lin Ye's strength, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, if it's him, everything will be alright. If you are truly unfortunate... even if you die, I will collect all the Dragon Balls to revive you."

Lin Ye had no idea what Shinobu was thinking. But even if he did, he would probably just laugh it off.

The person who killed Lin Ye? That certainly wouldn't exist in the Demon Slayer world.

…………

"Mr. Lin Ye...will we encounter ghosts this time?"

Sitting in his seat on the Mugen Train, Zenitsu Agatsuma still looked around with considerable fear. Although his strength had improved significantly during his training, his courage seemed to have remained stagnant.

Hearing Zenitsu's words, Lin Ye nodded and said, "Yes, of course. Not only will I encounter ghosts, but I'll encounter two of them."

"Ah!!!" Zenitsu was so frightened that he immediately hugged Tanjiro beside him. His voice trembled, "Two...two demons! They...they shouldn't be very strong, right?"

"Strong? Not bad." Lin Ye recalled the two demons that appeared in the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train arc.

The next chapter, nightmare!

Upper Moon Three, Akaza!

They're all fierce demons capable of taking on a pillar single-handedly.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye continued...

"It's alright, one is the lower moon and the other is the upper moon. Not too difficult."

"Difficulty!! Not difficult at all!!! Are you kidding me!!" Zenitsu Agatsuma was almost in tears. A lower-level Moon that had just retreated was enough to kill him, and even after training, he couldn't say for sure that he could defeat that Lower Moon Five.

But what about now? The Lower Moon 1! Frankly speaking, the Lower Moon 1 could easily take down the Lower Moons 3 and 4! And that's not even the scariest part! The scariest part is that there's also the Upper Moon 3!

What a difference!

To put it bluntly, this Upper Moon Three could definitely take down six Lower Moons! And Lin Ye's previous record was only taking down five Lower Moons, right?

Zenitsu was suddenly filled with fear again. He immediately grabbed Tanjiro's leg and burst into tears, as if to say, "If you don't leave, I'll die!"

Seeing Zenitsu's expression, Lin Ye patted him on the shoulder and said, "What? Don't you want the Dragon Balls anymore? Don't you plan to revive your master?"

Um? ?

Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Zenitsu Gasai immediately stopped crying.

That's right, he had almost forgotten.

He's not fighting for himself now; he has his own goal. His old man is still waiting for him to resurrect him.

Zenitsu Agatsuma gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

"Damn it! Let's go for it! I refuse to believe that with Mr. Lin Ye and Tanjiro there, we can't handle two of the Twelve Demon Moons!"

Ok? ? ?

Hearing Zenitsu's words, Lin Ye couldn't help but look at him with a blank expression.

So... can you please be a little more reliable?!

Hearing Zenitsu's words, Tanjiro wanted to encourage him further. However, at that moment, a loud voice echoed throughout the carriage.

"Five wheat!!!"

Chapter 50 Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Tanjiro

"Five wheat! Five wheat!! Five wheat!!!"

"I'm telling you, even if this bento is delicious, you don't have to shout every time you take a bite," Lin Ye said helplessly to Rengoku Kyojuro in front of him.

Isn't this just a fancy bento box? Even if it's delicious, it's still just a boxed lunch. How delicious can it be? Look at how exaggeratedly you're making it sound...

"Lin Ye! You don't know, this bento is really delicious! By the way, you guys haven't eaten yet, right? I just happened to buy a lot." Rengoku Kyojuro said this, and then handed a bunch of bento boxes to Lin Ye as he spoke.

"This... I'm actually not hungry..." Lin Ye wanted to refuse.

"That won't do! Only when you're full can you kill demons better! Hunger is a formidable enemy!"

Seeing Rengoku Kyojuro say that, Lin Ye reluctantly accepted the bento box. Since Tian had already given it to him, he might as well consider it a late-night snack.

"Fortunately, I have a body type that doesn't easily gain weight."

Lin Ye put a piece of sushi into his mouth as he spoke...

"Five-fold aroma!!!"

The next second, Lin Ye, just like Rengoku Kyojuro, was also enjoying the food with big bites. Especially Rengoku Kyojuro, as if he would never be able to eat again if he didn't eat a few more bites.

As Rengoku Kyojuro spoke, he kept looking at Tanjiro in front of him, sizing him up.

"Your name is Tanjiro, right?"

"Yes, Lord Flame Pillar!" Tanjiro replied in an incredibly loud voice. He now understood what the Pillars represented, and naturally respected these demon slayers. The condition was that they wouldn't harm Nezuko.

"Haha, you look very energetic. By the way, I heard you know Sun Breathing, is that right? How about it! Interested in becoming my stepson!" Rengoku Kyojuro's eyes were shining as he said this. Clearly, he was very interested in this Breathing of the Beginning.

However………

"Kyojuro Rengoku, yours is Flame Breathing, and Tanjiro's is Sun Breathing. Although they look similar, they are not the same thing at all," Lin Ye said helplessly. Although they appear to be the same on the surface, Flame Breathing's main energy is fire, while Sun Breathing includes both fire and light.

Hearing Lin Ye say this, Rengoku Kyojuro finally realized what was going on.

"That's true. It's better for Tanjiro to become Yoriichi Tsugikuni's adopted son than mine. But speaking of which, why do you know Sun Breathing, Tanjiro?"

"Well... I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure either." Tanjiro shook his head. "But Mr. Lin Ye must know."

Tanjiro was still not quite sure about Lin Ye's identity, but he felt that since Lin Ye knew the Sun Breathing technique, he must know something.

“That’s right, I do know some of it.” Lin Ye nodded, and then, looking at the curious Tanjiro, he told him the story of Yoriichi Tsugikuni and his family.

"Three hundred years ago, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was expelled from the Demon Slayer Corps because his brother became a demon and he caused Muzan's death. Feeling useless, Yoriichi Tsugikuni went into seclusion, and the place where he went into seclusion was right next to your house."

When Lin Ye finished speaking, he glanced at Tanjiro beside him and saw the surprised and curious expression on Tanjiro's face. He continued, "When Kamado Tanjiro and his wife were about to give birth, they encountered a demon attack. They were rescued by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who happened to be passing by... Thus, they became close friends, and Kamado Tanjiro vowed to pass on the Breath of the Sun and Yoriichi Tsugikuni's earrings..." (I won't go into details; it's all available online, so I won't pad the word count.)

As Lin Ye spoke, he looked at Tanjiro's ears. Hearing Lin Ye's words, Tanjiro subconsciously touched the earring on his ear.

“I’ve worn these earrings since I was a child, but I had no idea they had such a story behind them.”

Tanjiro had never known that he and Yoriichi Tsugikuni had such a connection. And listening to Lin Ye's explanation, Kyojuro Rengoku finally understood what had happened.

"I see. No wonder Yoriichi Tsugikuni has refused to become a Pillar for so many years, yet he has been relentlessly pursuing Muzan. Over the years, there must have been at least eight or ten thousand demons killed by Yoriichi Tsugikuni. So, he has been blaming himself all along?"

"What! Muzan has been hiding for hundreds of years? Is this guy some kind of turtle? How can he hide so well?" Zenitsu Agatsuma was completely stunned. Three hundred years! What kind of life did Muzan live?

“He can’t hide for much longer!” Rengoku Kyojuro looked at Nezuko in front of him. “He won’t hide anymore. Next, he’ll probably go all in. After all, Nezuko’s attraction to him is not much less than that of the Dragon Balls.”

"He devoured Nezuko and became unafraid of sunlight, then used the Dragon Balls to gain power even greater than Yoriichi Tsugikuni's. This is probably Muzan's plan." Lin Ye could guess what Muzan wanted to do with a little effort. However, wanting to collect all seven Dragon Balls? Muzan was probably really overthinking it.

Just as Lin Ye and the others were talking, suddenly, a figure walked in through the door. Seeing him, all the passengers took out their tickets, and the man clipped them one by one.

The conductor's job was to check tickets and prevent fare evasion. No one doubted his actions; they all silently handed over their tickets, even Rengoku Kyojuro. However, Lin Ye knew.

The train ticket had already been imprinted with a spell by Nightmare using Blood Demon Art. Once the conductor cuts it, the hidden Blood Demon Art will instantly put the person into a deep sleep! Then, Nightmare can do whatever she wants!

Lin Ye, of course, wouldn't be foolish enough to hand over the ticket. Instead, he calmly looked at the train conductor in front of him and said...

"I lost my ticket. I'll just buy a new one after I get off the train," Lin Ye said.
