Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Chapter 162 Researching Genya's Demon-Eating Physique (1)

Li Lei reluctantly released Shinazugawa Sanemi, forcibly suppressing his urge to eat people. However, he couldn't stop savoring the taste of the rare blood from earlier. He had become addicted to drinking rare blood, and the ordinary flesh and blood of ordinary people no longer held any appeal for him.

He described this feeling as picky eating, and Li Lei, upon discovering this, couldn't believe that he, as a ghost, would be picky about food.

Sure enough, his meals have been too good lately, to the point that he no longer cares about the basic food for a ghost.

"Brother, are you alright? Brother, don't scare me, brother!" Genmi frantically checked on his brother Sanemi's condition. Seeing his brother Sanemi's pale face and that he had already fallen into shock, Genmi was so anxious that he almost cried.

"Brother, don't die!"

"Don't worry, with me by your side, it's hard for your brother to die even if he wants to."

As he spoke, Li Lei flicked his hand, and a drop of blood was injected directly into the unconscious Sanemi's body. As the blood created by the Parasitic Blood Demon Technique successfully entered the body, the blood instantly began to divide and multiply, quickly occupying the blood vessels in Sanemi's body and acting as the original blood to provide oxygen.

After doing all this, Li Lei snapped his fingers. Upon hearing the snap, Shimi took a deep breath and immediately came back to life from his near-death state.

Although the resurrected Sanemi possessed Li Lei's demon blood, he was fundamentally still human. Sanemi was an extremely rare bloodline holder, a rare treasure capable of rapidly increasing a demon's strength. Therefore, Li Lei had no intention of making a deal with him. Wouldn't it be better to keep Sanemi to drink blood? This was far better than constantly capturing and eating people.

Moreover, because it's extremely rare blood, a single sip of Li Lei's blood is equivalent to several people being eaten by other demons. It's such a waste not to keep such a valuable resource (Sanemi) for continuous exploitation.

Furthermore, Sanemi is very talented. If you simply teach him some breathing techniques or hand him over to the Demon Slayer Corps for a few months, you can gain a powerful subordinate.

No matter how you look at it, Sanemi as a human is more useful than someone who was turned into a demon by himself. He can even be used as food, an experimental subject, and an excellent experimental material for studying the causes of rare blood constitution.

Thinking about all this, Li Lei gave himself a big thumbs up. Sustainable development starts with him, and protecting the owners of rare and precious bloodlines starts with him. Contributing to the development of biodiversity on Earth—this is clearly a win-win situation.

Just as Li Lei was lost in thought, Xuan Mi was overjoyed to see his brother's face return to normal color after turning from deathly pale.

"Thank goodness, brother, you're alright. I was so scared just now. You have no idea how dangerous it was for you; you almost kicked the bucket."

"If it weren't for you, sir, you'd probably be rock hard by now."

Sanemi: ?_?

Is it possible that my near-death experience was all thanks to your good man? From any perspective, it was entirely his duty to save me.

Looking at Genmi, who once idolized Li Lei, Shinazugawa Sanemi was secretly saddened. His foolish younger brother was beyond saving, and he forcibly swallowed the words back.

At this point, Xuanmi wouldn't listen to anything he said, and saying anything might damage the relationship between the brothers or even offend the monster in front of him, so it was best not to say anything.

"Thank you for saving my life, sir. I will remember this and repay you in the future."

In the end, Shinazugawa Sanemi, hampered by his younger brother Genya's fixed gaze, reluctantly thanked Li Lei against his conscience.

"It's nothing, saving you is a trivial matter."

Li Lei smiled with satisfaction, his hand patting Shimi's back.

The force applied was just right—not too strong, not too weak—to cause Sanemi pain without injuring him in the slightest. It was a perfect balance.

"Don't think I don't know you're talking badly about me. I can sense your malice and wariness even with my eyes closed."

"As my subordinate, he doesn't even have this much magnanimity. He deserves to be punished," Li Lei thought to himself.

The force of the pat on the back increased, and just as Shimi was about to inflict further damage, Li Lei finally stopped.

Seeing that the adults had stopped, Xuanmi breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great, the adults' anger has subsided."
