The young master Li Xing, at this moment, was completely ignoring the words of the Ubuyashiki heir and instead approached Kanao to strike up a conversation.
"Little sister, my name is Li Xing. Want to team up for a mission next time?"
Upon hearing the word "team up," Zenitsu thought he wouldn't have to be separated from his elder brother and wouldn't die. He immediately grabbed Li Xing's leg and shouted, "Big brother, teaming up is good! Let's team up for missions together!"
"Go on, go play somewhere else. You team up with that red-haired boy. He's a very gentle boy." After saying that, Li Xing turned his gaze back to Kanao.
However, Kanao currently had no will of her own. She flipped a coin and then looked at the butterfly in her hand, ignoring Li Xing.
"Haha, Xing got rejected when he tried to hit on a girl!" Li Yun's sharp and sarcastic laughter echoed again.
Li Xing was utterly embarrassed. In his past life, Li Xing had always been in his laboratory. After the age of six, he had never left his home, relying on the hundreds of billions of assets left by his parents to create the two terminals, Li Yun and Li Shi. He had never had any experience hitting on girls, and Li Xing was momentarily speechless.
"I don't care about any stupid crow! I want a sword, do you understand? Give me a sword immediately! A Demon Slayer Corps sword, a sword that changes color!" Sanemi Shinazugawa suddenly yelled from the other side.
This instantly relieved Li Xing's awkwardness. He had to thank Sanemi Shinazugawa's temper.
Seeing that Sanemi Shinazugawa was about to get handsy with Hinaki Ubuyashiki, Li Xing immediately rushed over and grabbed Sanemi Shinazugawa's hand.
"Don't yell here, and don't get handsy with the boss's daughter. Didn't they explain it clearly to you just now? Or can't you understand human language?" Li Xing said sharply, looking at Sanemi Shinazugawa.
Tanjiro, who was about to go over, felt relieved when he saw someone stopping him.
Sanemi Shinazugawa looked at Li Xing with anger in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. Li Xing didn't want to keep staring at this brat. He flicked Sanemi Shinazugawa's hand away and turned away, too lazy to bother with him.
"Everyone, are you done chatting? If so, then select the steel for forging your swords!" Kagaya Ubuyashiki pointed at the stones nearby and said to Li Xing's group.
Sanemi Shinazugawa was the first to go up and casually grabbed one. Then Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and the others each took a piece.
Kanao, however, felt a sense of not knowing which one to choose. Looking at the stones before her, she didn't know which one to pick. Just as she was about to flip a coin, a hand reached out.
Li Xing casually picked up a stone and handed it to Kanao. "Choose this one."
Kanao turned to look at the white-haired man, feeling a sense of bewilderment. However, Kanao didn't know how to express it and simply took the stone Li Xing handed her.
"Xing, this sudden gentleness is unbearable for me too~" Another chilling voice echoed, and Li Xing shivered.
"You really know how to talk!"
Li Xing looked at the pile of stones before him. He suffered from decision paralysis. He couldn't discern anything special about them, so he picked the largest one. In Li Xing's understanding, the largest stone would contain the most essence, and the sword forged from it would be tougher and sharper.
"Your swords will be delivered to you in ten to fifteen days."
As the words fell, several people dispersed, leaving only Li Xing and Zenitsu in the square.
"Big brother, I'm going back. Make sure to find me to team up next time!" Zenitsu bid farewell to Li Xing. Li Xing waved his hand casually. At this moment, Li Xing was already thinking about something else.
"Li Yun, can I make a Nichirin Blade myself? I'm a Heavenly Dao, aren't I!" Li Xing said to Li Yun in his mind.
"You can, but you'll need to record the data beforehand, store it in the terminal's data, and then materialize it as data."
"Then how did I get this breathing technique and demon power?" Li Xing couldn't understand it for a moment. This sudden ability to create things didn't seem scientific.
"Data-based Heavenly Dao means we replicated the Heavenly Dao of the world, right? This includes the Heavenly Dao's memories. The Heavenly Dao's memories contain everything that has appeared in this world. We can perceive energy bodies and forcibly digitize them. As for physical matter on the surface, we need to come into contact with it to digitize it."
"To put it simply, energy bodies are like Wi-Fi, and surface matter is like a USB drive. You need to plug it into a computer to see the movies inside. Xing, do you understand?"
After this explanation, Li Xing understood. After all, he was the one who created the system, so he wasn't that stupid.
"Has the stone data been recorded? Now, materialize the sword entity based on my memory." Li Xing already had the image of a peerless sword in his mind. As long as he could make it, Li Xing could show off properly.
"Okay, materializing now."
As soon as the voice fell, a black longsword appeared in Li Xing's hand. It was the renowned Elucidator, but unlike the original Elucidator, the blade had some strange totems, and there were two characters on the front and back: one was Xing, and the other was Yun.
"Xing, the totems you drew in your mind are so ugly!"
The sharp tongue appeared again. Li Xing was very speechless. "What do you know? This is the belief totem of our Great Celestial Dynasty, the Xuan Bird!"
"Then why isn't it a dragon? Isn't a dragon more majestic and imposing?" Although Li Yun had consciousness, he still didn't understand human thoughts.
"The dragon thing is used too much. Look at people in society; their tattoos are either dragons or tigers. They've become vulgar. You need culture. They probably can't even distinguish between Azure Dragon and Candle Dragon, or Yinglong!"
After all this rambling, the truth was that Li Xing didn't want to be like everyone else. He wanted to create something special, to put it plainly, he wanted to be unique.
"Enough chatting, let's find a demon to try out my Star-Cloud Sword!" With that, Li Xing rushed down the mountain, wanting to find a demon with considerable strength to test it on, preferably an Upper Rank demon.
Unknowingly, Li Xing arrived at a small town. It was still daytime, so Li Xing decided to wander around. However, upon entering the town, he found that all the shops were closed and not operating.
"Li Yun, do you think there are demons here?"
"A town that doesn't open its doors during the day? You can figure out with your backside that there are demons here! Xing, you're getting dumber."
"Tch, then I'll just take a nap first!" Li Xing felt very hurt. He used to be a genius scientist, but now he was constantly being mocked by Li Yun for being stupid. This was too unbearable.
...
In the blink of an eye, the sun set, and night fell.
The shops in Yoshiwara opened their doors for business. Li Xing was awakened by the atmosphere.
"Oh my, it's so lively at night. If I'm not mistaken, this must be the legendary Yoshiwara Street!"
Thinking this, Li Xing excitedly ran into Yoshiwara. Yes, it was to find demons, absolutely not because he wanted to see the courtesans.
