Looking at the gray potion bottle in his hand, Lin Tian supported Nezuko's small head. Just as he was about to feed it to her, Tanjiro ran over and grabbed his hand.
"Hmm?"
Lin Tian looked at Tanjiro, who was holding his hand.
Tanjiro's body was trembling slightly as he grasped Lin Tian's arm with both hands, forcing himself to speak, "Sir, don't! Don't give Nezuko that stuff to drink!"
Although he didn't know what the potion in the gray bottle was, the aura coming from it made him very uncomfortable!
Seeing this person, whose strength was so disparate from his own, dare to grab his hand, Lin Tian was quite impressed by his courage.
However, he didn't show it. He simply pulled his arm from Tanjiro's grasp and said, "Don't be afraid. I won't harm Nezuko. I just want to see if I can save her."
Hearing Lin Tian's words, a brilliant light shone in Tanjiro's eyes, and his tone gradually became respectful. "Really? Can you really save Nezuko?"
"I can only say I'll give it a try. I'm not certain if it will actually work."
Seeing Tanjiro's expectant gaze, Lin Tian didn't give him a definite answer. After all, demons and zombies were not the same species.
So the Potion of Weakness plus Golden Apple method might not really work, but perhaps the rules of a real world would allow it?
Without hesitation, Lin Tian held Nezuko's head and poured the Potion of Weakness in.
Visibly, Nezuko's expression gradually worsened. Her entire... demon's aura weakened, as if she were on the verge of death.
Seeing this, Tanjiro was filled with sorrow, but the thought that this could save his sister made him turn his head away, unable to watch.
Seeing the change in Nezuko, Lin Tian took out a Golden Apple and tried to feed it to her.
However, looking at her unconscious state, he thought for a moment and turned his head to look at Tanjiro.
Seeing that he had already returned to Sakonji Urokodaki's side, Lin Tian looked back at Nezuko, then at the Golden Apple in his hand.
'I'm not losing out here, I'm actually gaining!'
Lin Tian took a bite of the Golden Apple and kissed Nezuko's small lips.
But the moment their lips touched, Nezuko's eyes snapped open.
Seeing her eyes open, Lin Tian was about to pull away but was stopped when Nezuko wrapped her arms around his head.
Lin Tian was completely bewildered as he felt Nezuko's sharp fangs trying hard to bite his tongue.
'Is she trying to suck my blood?'
Lin Tian wasn't sure, but feeling the biting force gradually increase, he became more certain of his guess.
'But why would she want to suck my blood? Isn't Nezuko able to overcome this instinct?'
Although he was puzzled, Lin Tian didn't refuse. It was quite a pleasant feeling, after all.
However, it wasn't long before he pulled away from her lips and brought the Golden Apple to her mouth. The Potion of Weakness had a time limit, after all.
Seeing the Golden Apple, Nezuko, who had been trying to lean in again, was instantly captivated. She opened her mouth and ate the whole thing!
But after swallowing it, Nezuko's body suddenly stiffened, and then she began to twitch uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Lin Tian couldn't help but worry. She was, after all, the first girl he had ever kissed.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Nezuko to calm down. The veins on her face disappeared, and her sharp, demonized teeth returned to normal.
Seeing this, Lin Tian was relieved.
Nezuko, now human again, slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Lin Tian supporting her, and she looked at him with confusion.
"Hello there, Nezuko."
Lin Tian gave Nezuko a gentle smile.
"He... llo."
Perhaps because she had just turned back into a human, Nezuko's speech was hesitant.
Hearing this familiar voice, Tanjiro, in the distance, felt a jolt run through his body. He looked over in Lin Tian's direction with eyes full of hope.
When he saw that familiar figure offering a slight smile, tears instantly gushed from Tanjiro's eyes like a flood.
"Nezuko! Nezuko!"
Tanjiro shouted, leaving Sakonji Urokodaki's side and running towards Nezuko.
Nezuko, who was in Lin Tian's arms, heard the familiar voice and saw her brother running toward her.
"Brother!"
Nezuko struggled, wanting to stand up, but how could she possibly have any strength left after being so heavily injured and turning from a demon into an ordinary person?
And so, Nezuko fell back into Lin Tian's arms.
Seeing Nezuko fall, Lin Tian took out another Golden Apple and held it to her lips.
"Eat this, Nezuko. You'll be fine after you eat it."
Hearing Lin Tian's words, Nezuko obediently ate the Golden Apple bite by bite, and at the same time, she felt her body gradually recovering.
Nezuko stared intently at the man before her. It was this man who had saved her, who had turned her back into a human, and also...
Nezuko subconsciously pursed her lips, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.
Seeing Nezuko blush, Lin Tian knew what she was thinking, but as a 20-year-old who had never been in a relationship, what was he supposed to do?
Thankfully, Tanjiro ran over at that moment, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere between them.
"Nezuko! You've really recovered!"
Seeing his sister had truly turned back into a human, Tanjiro was overjoyed. Nezuko was his only family in this world.
He had always regretted not going home that day, which had led his family to suffer unimaginable pain. Turning Nezuko back into a human had become his only wish.
"Mhm! Brother, I'm back!"
Nezuko, now recovered, stood up and hugged Tanjiro.
Seeing the heartwarming scene between the siblings, Lin Tian tactfully chose not to disturb them and walked towards the obsidian-encased Muzan Kibutsuji.
Looking at this black prison, Lin Tian was a little troubled. How was he supposed to take it with him?
After thinking for a moment, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he walked towards the obsidian prison.
.......
On Shinobu Kocho's side.
After Shinobu had explained everything clearly to everyone, they finally understood that she hadn't been talking nonsense before. She had truly joined a magical place called a chat group.
Originally, only a few of them had believed her, but as her strength gradually increased, the others also started to believe. It wasn't until today that they were finally convinced that Shinobu had encountered a great opportunity!
Suddenly, Hellish Blizzard spoke up, "We're surrounded."
Hearing her words, the Hashira also sensed their surroundings. Their expressions changed drastically. They had been listening so intently just now that they had completely overlooked such a crisis!
Sensing carefully, there were about ten thousand demons! And among them were six extremely powerful auras!
And outside the estate, all Twelve Kizuki had arrived. Nearly ten thousand demons had surrounded the entire compound.
Kokushibo, Doma, Akaza, Hantengu, Gyokko, Gyutaro, and Daki—all the Upper Moons had arrived at the main gate.
"Twang~"
The sound of a biwa was heard, and everyone was teleported into the Infinity Castle.
Nakime, sitting in the center, plucked her biwa string by string, separating the members of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Just then, a dark green pearl struck Nakime at an extremely high speed.
The next second, Shinobu Kocho, wearing her butterfly-wing haori, appeared. She looked at Nakime with a smile and said, "Goodbye now."
"Swish~!"
With a single swing of her blade, Nakime was decapitated.
[Shinobu Who Loves Her Sister: Nakime is dead.]
