I am the one holding the Higan flower in my hand

Natian Mountain.

Li Zi begged Naru to send her to the foot of the mountain. She was a little timid. In fact, the death of a ghost is a very normal thing. She must have experienced it many times, but she is still a little scared...

Just after walking a few hundred meters, a figure appeared on the branch in front. The boy with white hair and white clothes stood barefoot on a tall tree, looking down at her.

"Tired," she called out the person's name and tugged at the corner of her clothes.

The boy with the numbers engraved in his eyes looked at her motionless, without saying a word or moving. The atmosphere between the two became more and more silent. Li Zi lowered her head. She felt as if her heart was broken, beating slowly and quickly.

The moonlight in front of her was blocked, and she heard the young man's voice asking, "Did you kill the ghost hunter?"

Lizi's whole body tensed up suddenly, and he shook his head slowly.

"Are you taking me to kill that ghost hunter?"

The fruit in her arms was close to her body, and the person with her head hanging down shook her head more slowly.

"Then what are you doing?"

The young man's tone gradually became colder.

Lizi encouraged himself, cheered himself up a little, and stretched out the fruit he brought in front of Tired.

His tired eyes fell on the fruit, and there was a light in his eyes that floated slightly before he went down again. A sarcastic smile appeared on his pale face, and he said coldly, "Are you doing this again?"

"Some broken fruit."

Some...Li Zi knew that Xian would say unpleasant things, but she didn't expect that the other party would say such things. These words were like a knife hitting her heart. It makes her feel like she's back to the day Sky died.

She stared blankly at tiredness, standing there without any words.

His tired expression flashed into trance, and he suddenly took a step back, his body trembled slightly, then turned around and jumped up the mountain.

"it's okay no problem,"

"..."

Tiredness had disappeared, Li Zi walked up the mountain while muttering to himself, but the emotions in his heart could not be suppressed. She took several deep breaths before she managed to regain her composure. She squeezed and unclenched the fruit in her arms.

Kuriyama Kuriko feels a little aggrieved. She has never been treated like this since she became a ghost. Even Ghost Dance Tsuji Mumei had never treated her like this.

But this matter... Lizi knew why Sky and Lei went to Tokyo. It was she who told them that if there was not enough food in Natayama, they could come to her.

Will there not be enough food in Tianshan? Will do. But if they don't go to her, the tiredness of being a lower string can be solved. They go to Tokyo just because she extended the invitation.

"Sky....."

Li Zi raised her head and exhaled slowly. What an idiot. She is the one who should say sorry.

She did not go to the mansion in Natian Mountain, but went to a forest in the back mountain, and as expected she found the young man looking up at the moonlit sky. He stood alone on the spider silk, the ground was empty, and there was no more dust.

Chestnut picked up a fruit from the bag and threw it to the person in the sky.

Lei looked at the fruit in his hand and lowered his hand.

"I know the person who killed Tian Tian," Li Zi leaned against the tree to confirm her tired guess. She paused for a while and said slowly, "I knew him before I met you."

Blood red eyes stared at her.

Li Zi seemed not to notice Tire's displeasure and continued, "He has a good personality. Apart from being a human being, he is very nice and gets along very well with me."

The blue eyes suddenly met the eyes in the sky.

Li Zi looked calm, "He is more important in my heart than you are."

The white spider silk brushed her cheek and passed through the tree beside her, causing the branches to sway. Li Zi stretched out his hand and pressed it on the spider silk, and blood dripped across a length of spider silk to the ground, "But the Demon Slayer Squad and ghosts cannot coexist."

Li Zi is not naive enough to think that he can make the Demon Slayer Squad put aside their hatred of ghosts.

"I will always be a ghost."

The taut spider silk softened and was taken back by his master. Lei silently retracted the spider silk, trying to suppress the emotions spreading in his heart bit by bit, but the harder he tried, the more turbulent his emotions became, "Are you here to tell me that you prefer to kill humans in the sky?"

All the trembling spider silk was retracted.

thump—

The fruit hit Li Zi's head accurately, and grievance spread in the young man's eyes.

He tried hard to maintain an expressionless face, but his palms were already bloody with his nails. "Did you come here and tell me that if it weren't for the fact that you are a ghost, you would hate me?"

"Kuriyama Riko, are you here to tell me these things?" Lei almost squeezed out these words through his teeth, and used all his strength to control himself from taking action.

ah? Li Zi was dumbfounded. She didn't know why the topic suddenly turned into this. Her mind was confused for a while. The expression on the young man above was getting more and more wrong. She realized that instead of thinking about why things were like this, what she needed now was to quickly explain, "Of course not, what are you talking about?"

"When did I hate you? I also like you very much now, otherwise why would I come to you?"

"Now?"

"...Your point is wrong. It's our first meeting. Do you expect me to like you?"

Lei pursed his lips, and the first meeting between the two came to mind. He suddenly fell silent, and his cold expression faded a little. Seeing his expression soften, Li Zi felt slightly relieved and continued, "Right, you almost killed me at that time."

"Of course I didn't like you at that time," now that I had the confidence to speak, I became more forceful, "Isn't this in the past? I like you very much now."

"Tired, come down, my neck hurts."

A young man dressed in white fell from the air to the ground. He stood a dozen steps away from Li Zi, with a cold and gloomy expression on his face.

He was very uncomfortable with what Li Zi said just now.

Li Zi moved one step, then moved another step when she saw no response from the person, and moved again when she saw no response. She moved like this for seven steps, and was glared at. She stopped and looked at the person seriously, "I just want to say I am always on your side, sir."

"I'm a ghost."

"You can get along well with people, but you are enemies with the Demon Slayer Squad." Lizi took another fruit from the bag and threw it at the boy again. Seeing that the fruit was caught, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, "I do I don’t want to kill Xingjulang, but if he attacks you..."

Her voice lowered and her tone was solemn, "I will not show mercy..."

The air was cold, and the temperature of her body dropped a lot after being inhaled into her nasal cavity.

Tired and displeased, "You mean you won't kill him until he attacks us again?" He was very dissatisfied with this answer and wanted to smash the fruit back again, his fingers moved slightly but he was a little reluctant to part with it.

Li Zi swallowed the pulp and murmured, "No, as long as I see him. He has already taken action, tired."

Lei Lei didn't expect Lizi to say that, and looked surprised, "You..."

"It's nothing," Lizi smiled nonchalantly at Lei Lei, "Actually, it's only normal for ghosts to fight with the Demon Slayers to abandon my relationship with Xingjurou."

Patterns appeared on his white face, his pupils were blood red, and the scent of a second ghost appeared in the woods. "The moment all the Demon Slayers see me, they will raise their Nichirin Swords."

"Use all your strength to chop off my head."

"Anjuro is no exception."
