"Since you call me brother, I will take you back."
Originally Tanjiro wanted to refuse, as he really didn't want to trouble his benefactor, but he was simply unable to defeat the other party, and finally succumbed to the arm strength, returning home in just one hour.
Just when the two of them got home, Nezuko woke up. Because she didn't eat flesh and blood before, she relied on sleep to replenish the energy needed in her body in the past two years.
"This gentleman must be the Yan Yang ghost god that has been circulating recently. As you can see, his residence is simple and there is nothing to entertain him."
Facing this powerful man who feeds on demons, Urokodaki Sakonji behaved neither arrogantly nor servilely in his tone.
"No, I just had some free time recently, so I took a job at the Uterine House and came to hang out around here. I didn't expect to run into Tanjiro. In principle, I should be the one to bother you more."
Chen Tianqiao behaved very politely because he had his own code of conduct: "If someone respects me one foot, I will respect him one yard. If anyone offends me, I will throw him to ashes."
After chatting for a long time and seeing that the other party was not an arrogant person, Urokodaki Sakonji also treated him wholeheartedly and even prepared a separate bed for him. Tanjiro was so shocked that he wondered if the old man had changed his personality.

Chapter 108 Kyoto Asakusa
Ten days later, just as the sky was getting light and he was still asleep, he heard a quarrel in the house. He got up and saw a man wearing a funny mask.
"Since Lord Yan Yang is awake, let's have breakfast together. By the way, this is the forger from the Swordsmith Village, responsible for making weapons specifically for the Demon Slayer Corps."
"Hello, nice to meet you."
After briefly introducing the two people, Urokodaki Sakonji took the bowls and chopsticks, and the four of them sat around the kang to enjoy today's breakfast.
At this time, Chen Tianqiao saw Tanjiro holding the new sword and stroking it like a lover, and couldn't help but complain.
"I say, you've been touching it for so long, and a layer of mud is almost rubbed off. Haven't you drawn your sword yet to take a look?" Someone was a little curious. Those pillars wouldn't let him touch their swords, and he didn't even look down on the swords of ordinary teammates.
"Yes, yes, that's the sword I made. It's made of the mineral closest to the sun. The Sun Wheel Sword can change color according to its owner. Especially since you're a child from a family related to fire, you might be able to make it turn red." The swordsmith seemed to know some secret and kept urging him.
In fact, without anyone telling him, Tanjiro was also curious about what the so-called color-changing blade looked like. When he drew out the sword excitedly, the shiny blade turned pitch black, which stunned the three of them.
"Puchi...Ha~hahaha, it's actually black!" The swordsmith was overjoyed.
It’s not that black is bad, it’s mainly because black is either the strongest or the weakest, and ordinary members of the Demon Slayer Corps all use the black Nichirin Sword. Only the ancient strongman Yoriichi Tsugumi can turn the black sword into a red He sword in battle.
"Eh? Is that so bad?" Tanjiro was a little at a loss when he heard others laughing.
"Of course not! I thought I could see a bright red blade!" Suddenly, the swordsmith pounced on him and started fighting with Tanjiro.
Seeing the Sun Blade put aside, Chen Tianqiao had been itching to get his hands on it, so he took it in his hand curiously and was about to take a closer look.
Suddenly, a red light flashed across the pitch-black blade, and the entire blade turned into an unusually bright orange-red color. A halo shaped like the solar corona gradually formed around the blade.
"boom"
Within a few breaths, the whole house was filled with scorching waves, making the other three people feel as if they were next to a large steel furnace. Although it was winter, they were sweating profusely.
"Oh my God!"
"This is the first time in my life that I've seen a blade of this color!"
Faced with this scene, the swordsmith cried out in shock and wanted to get closer like a pilgrim, but the scorching temperature was something that no mortal could resist.
"Alas, what a pity. I don't need a weapon."
Then, ignoring the humming sound of the Sun Blade, he loosened his hand and pointed the blade downwards. Like a hot knife cutting through butter, the hard ground went straight into the handle.
There was really no other way. If he held the knife for a while longer, it would probably melt into molten iron. After all, this was the boy's first knife, and he didn't want to be a bad guy.
"Your ability astounds me. You are worthy of the name of a ghost."
Seeing one leaf can tell that it is deep autumn. This is probably just the tip of the iceberg of the opponent's strength. I really don't know when Japan produced such a strong man.
At this time, a crow flew in from the window. Chen Tianqiao was no stranger to it. After all, if information was passed through people, it would easily lead to the leakage of secrets.
"Tanjiro Kamado! I will convey the order and head to the town in the northwest, where girls disappear every night! Find the ghosts hiding there and defeat them! Please pay attention! This is your first job as a ghost hunter!"
After the crow announced the mission in a chanting tone, it flew away directly from the window. Only then did Tanjiro stammer, "Can crows talk?"
He stretched himself and saw that Tanjiro was still in a daze, so he walked over, patted his shoulder to bring him back to his senses and said, "I've been nagging for so long, it's time for me to leave. Since this is your first job, it's not easy for me to help you. After all, it's not good for your growth."
After that, Chen Tianqiao opened the door and walked out. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he stopped and slapped his forehead and said, "How about this, if there are any problems that cannot be solved, you can ask the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters to contact me. You should know that I have a cooperative relationship with your organization."
Tanjiro watched his benefactor walk away, and he also had to prepare to defeat the demons tomorrow.
Asakusa in Tokyo was in the midst of Western reforms, and was filled with new things from overseas. The interweaving of old buildings and new ones made this era full of the flavor of the turn of the century.
At night, in the brightly lit market, Chen Tianqiao was walking on the street in casual clothes, holding a bowl of octopus balls in his hand, eating as he walked amid the strange looks of others.
The purpose of his trip was to come here to rest and see if he could have some fun here. He had previously accepted an order from the Demon Slayer Corps and killed a mutant demon that massacred a village here. Coincidentally, it was a wild boar type.
This made him very greedy as he hadn't had any meat for a few days, so he roasted the skin over high heat and simmered the meat over low heat on the spot. And because it was not a real wild boar, it had no fishy smell, and the extraordinary nature of a ghost made its muscles extremely delicious.
"Alas! Ordinary people's food is so boring."
He threw the half-eaten octopus ball into the dark alley, which immediately attracted a few rag-picking children to grab the food. As the saying goes, where there is light, there is always shadow.
"Oh my God! That guy... is crazy, he is biting... his own wife!"
"Someone...come...quickly...stop him!"
"Hurry up. Find someone to help!"
People on the chaotic street ahead retreated one after another, as if some terrible creature was committing a crime there.
When Chen Tianqiao pushed through the crowd and forced his way to the edge of the scene, he happened to see Tanjiro, who had perfectly dealt with the source of the problem. He was about to step forward and invite him to have a simple meal together.
The wings of his nose twitched slightly, and he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, not like the scent of flowers or perfume, but similar to the body odor that he had smelled on Garuda before.
In an instant, there was a flash before the eyes, and countless colorful and gorgeous ribbons came from all directions, like living things, blocking the vision of everyone who inhaled the fragrance.
Fortunately, the hundreds of eyeballs I ate last time from the Hundred-Eyed Demon had some effect, making these ribbons translucent, so I could at least see some things around me clearly.
At this time, Chen Tianqiao saw a man and a woman taking Tanjiro and the demon on the ground away. He suddenly had an idea and followed them.
On the other side, Muzan Kibutsuji, who caused the commotion, came to an alley after seeing off his wife and daughter who had paraded with him as disguises.
He killed a few blind passers-by, then snapped his fingers, summoned two ghosts, a man and a woman, and turned his back to them and whispered, "Kill the ghost hunter with the flower-shaped earrings on his ears, and bring him back his head."
"As ordered!"
"Obey my master!"
Chapter 109 Lime and Orange Flavor
"Huh? Where did they go? I clearly saw them walking this way."
The two ghosts were difficult to follow, so he just followed Tanjiro. However, he didn't expect that after just turning a corner, he would find himself in a dead end. This completely dumbfounded him.
"No! It must be like in the movies, there must be a secret door nearby!"
Soon someone was jumping up and down in the alley for nearly half an hour, but even though he was furious, he couldn't find any relevant clues.
He sat on the roof of a house feeling depressed, staring at the moon and thinking that maybe he really didn't have a talent for treasure hunting. It seemed like he could only wait here for them to come out.
"Hey! The uncle sitting on the roof, did you see these three people passing by here?"
Suddenly, a voice like that of a bad girl woke up Chen Tianqiao who was immersed in depression. When he looked down, he saw two human-shaped ghosts standing under the house.
The man with his eyes closed is dressed as a monk, and the carefree girl is dressed as a rich lady. It seems that they have the same purpose.
"Of course I saw it, and I was planning to go in, but for some reason I'm a little hungry now, so I want to get some snacks to satisfy my craving. I hope you two don't mind."
As he said that, he jumped directly from the roof in front of the two people, staring directly at the two ghosts with his slightly glowing golden pupils. It seemed as if he smelled a scent of orange from the female ghost's eyes, and he couldn't help but move closer out of curiosity.
"Hee...hee...hee, uncle, your behavior now is a bit perverted! Why are you still standing there, Yabaya? Come and help me!" Zhu Shawan couldn't help but take a few steps back in fear. She actually felt the breath of countless tragic deaths of her kind from the other party.
"...Shu...Shawan...let's retreat, the opponent is too strong!! When I look at him, I can only see a golden sea of fire!" Yabayu's voice trembled. Unlike other demons, his blood demon art specializes in the eyes.
"Hey, are you leaving? Did you ask me?"
One hand just pushed Yabaha into the wall, and the other hand grabbed Zhushawan's neck and penetrated into the ground.
"Blood Vampire Art: Direction Control"
In an instant, red invisible arrows shot out from the eyeballs in the palms of Yabayu's hands, pushing the opponent more than ten meters away from his original position when he was caught off guard.
At this time, Zhu Shawan took the opportunity to escape from underground, and just saw his companions being beheaded like lambs by the terrible man with a knife, and the heads were hung on his waist like trophies.
She didn't want to sit there and wait for death. If she ran, even if she could escape successfully, that adult would definitely not let her go!
The next second, the woman took off her shirt, and just when someone thought it was a ghost and was about to use the beauty trick on her, four arms suddenly emerged from her ribs, each holding a patterned handball.
"Blood Demon Art: High-Speed Handball"
I saw six hands holding the ball and throwing it out like infinite cannonballs, leaving deep holes on whatever it hit.
"Alas, this power is not as damaging as Yujiro's fist. It is indeed a thing for girls to play with. Even the blood demon technique is so improper."
He was too lazy to even block the balls. He just walked forward with his hands behind his back, allowing the balls, which couldn't even break the skin, to hit him.
"Damn it! Why is this human so powerful!!"
She was clearly trying hard to throw the ball, but she could only watch the opponent approaching her leisurely. This huge gap in strength made her feel extremely powerless.
At this time, Chen Tianqiao saw so many balls flying towards him, and out of curiosity, he couldn't help but hit one of the balls hard.
In an instant, Zhu Shawan felt a gust of wind pressure coming, and she was so scared that she quickly turned her head, but she still felt a burning pain on the side of her face. Even though the wound healed in an instant, she still broke out in a cold sweat.
"boom!"
The colorful handball suddenly passed through a wall and instantly collapsed the attic hidden inside, shocking the people inside and they all ran outside to check the situation.
"Sorry, sorry, I accidentally smashed the wall while trying to catch a ghost."
While chewing a lemon-flavored ghost eye from Yabaha, Tanjiro heard the voice before the person arrived. He immediately recognized who it was and couldn't help but shout, "Uncle Chen, is that you?"
The next second, Tanjiro was suddenly slapped on the back of his head, and saw a figure holding two ghost heads approaching him.
"Didn't I ask you to change it before? You forgot it so quickly! Look, I saw them sneaking around on the road, so I caught them specially to give you the credit." During the conversation, he never mentioned that he was trying to track them.
"These two should be the demons sent by Muzan Kibutsuji to deal with us. Thank you very much, Tamayo, for your help." With a gentle voice and a Yamato Nadeshiko-like appearance, Tamayo, who was wearing a kimono and had her hair tied up, slowly bowed to him.
"Nothing, I'm just curious about what these two ghosts are going to do."
Seeing that the two men had no conflict with the boy, they threw the useless ghost head to Tanjiro and then left.
"Tanjiro, we mentioned before that we need to use the blood of powerful demons to research the antidote for demons to transform into humans, so can you lend me these two heads temporarily so that I can get some blood?"
When he heard that it was to make an antidote for Nezuko, Tanjiro handed the demon head to Tamayo without saying a word. After an inspection, she found that the eyeballs of the two demons were missing. Those were not ordinary eyeballs, but the symbol of the demon's power.
"Eat...eat...eat..., he actually...ate!"
"He...eats...ghosts. He actually eats ghosts!!"
The two ghosts' mumbling voices suddenly reminded her who the man was. She thought it was just a fabricated rumor among wild ghosts in the countryside, but it turned out to be true!
Suddenly, Tamayo felt a little regretful that she didn't ask him to draw some blood. In this way, perhaps the progress of researching the antidote would be faster.
"Oh, what a pity."
Outside the street, Chen Tianqiao had no intention of shopping at this moment, because a strange attribute was suddenly added to his system bar. He guessed that it was caused by eating too many ghosts.
Distorted sense of smell: adaptively adjust the optimal sense of smell, distorted sense of taste: adaptively adjust the optimal sense of taste.
Comment: Mom and Dad don't have to worry anymore. I can't eat. The system doesn't mind if you have bold ideas~
Automatically ignoring the system's evaluation, he had a strange feeling at this moment, that the system was not something from the Emperor's world at all, because the styles of the two were completely incompatible.
A few days later, Chen Tianqiao was hired outside a house in the countryside, and the employer was a young ghost hunting swordsman wearing a yellow uniform and with yellow hair?
"I said, are you serious? Let me do your job, and remember the money... Forget it, you don't have any money, so just pass the news about the ghost to me when the time comes."
Seeing this, the crying Agatsuma Zenitsu felt as if he had been pardoned. He swore that every future expedition mission would be handed over to Chen Tianqiao.
He shook his head and walked into the house through the entrance. He really didn't understand why Ubuyashiki Kazuya wanted to take in this cowardly kid.
The house didn't look big from the outside, but it felt surprisingly large once inside. For some reason, he always felt like someone was staring at him.
"Hey! I'm already here. As the owner of the house, isn't it a bit unreasonable for you not to come out and meet me?"
Sitting on the coffee table in the living room, he crossed his legs and used words to provoke the ghost in the house, hoping to make it come out quickly.
