"Tell me about the progress of your missions over the years."
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Muzan changed the subject and asked.
However, faced with the boss's questions, these subordinates remained silent.
Naturally, Muzan had anticipated such an outcome.
But even so, he was still very angry.
"Waste!"
Muzan pointed at the subordinates in front of him and started cursing.
"It's been hundreds of years, and it's fine that you haven't found the Blue Spider Lily, but you haven't even figured out the location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters! You are really a bunch of useless people!"
"What use do I have for you?"
In order to train these guys into capable subordinates, he had spent a lot of time and effort and his own blood.
But in the end it didn't work at all!
What was the difference between this and a bunch of unemployed politicians?
If he was a competent executive, he would probably fire employees on the spot!
It was a pity that the boss was not a competent executive after all and did not have that kind of courage.
And these guys at least had some surplus value.
"I don't care what method you use—find the location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters within ten years. I want them to completely disappear from this world!"
After gritting his teeth and saying this, Muzan turned and left.
It was not until he went far away that the pressure on the Upper Ranks disappeared.
But before this group of demons could reminisce about the past, they were sent back to their original locations by Nakime.
Night fell.
Victor withdrew from his cultivation.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, he couldn't help but sigh: "The time spent in cultivation passed by so quickly."
From the time he had practiced in the morning until now, he felt like only half an hour had passed!
Moreover, after practicing for so long, he didn't feel tired at all. Instead, he felt full of energy!
Cultivation could completely replace sleep. It was no wonder that those immortal practitioners would go into seclusion for several years, decades or even hundreds of years.
He walked out of the room and into the hall, only to see Shinobu sitting alone at the dining table.
In front of her was a multi-layered lunch box that looked very delicate.
Seeing Victor, Shinobu stood up immediately.
"Mr. Victor, you finally came out."
"The food is still hot, come and eat!"
"You waited for me here just to prevent me from going hungry?"
"Well, because I saw you were practicing during dinner, I didn't want to disturb you, so I put your food in the lunch box and kept it warm."
After hearing what Shinobu said, Victor felt a little moved.
"That's really thoughtful of you."
"No trouble at all!"
Shinobu opened the lunch box and the aroma immediately filled the air.
Inside was a wide variety of Japanese food, with a little bit of steam wafting up.
"Then I won't be polite..."
After eating and drinking, Shinobu took the initiative to take on the task of cleaning up the dishes.
Looking at the small figure busy in the kitchen, Victor couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
At such a young age, she had the temperament of a housewife and was a suitable candidate to be a wife.
Retracting his gaze, Victor opened the chat group to see what these group members were talking about.
[Kiana: Why is your Bronya so big and mature, while my Bronya is short and flat and very annoying!]
Wow!
As soon as he came online, he saw such an interesting topic being discussed. He couldn't miss it!
[Victor: What's wrong? Did Qibao see the big duck on Stelle's side?]
[Lumine: Not only have we met, we also had a brief exchange.]
[Victor: Oh? Did Kiana go to Stelle's place when I was away?]
From the above conversation, Victor could roughly guess that Stelle's timeline should be in the later stage of Beloberg's main storyline.
[Belle: That's right, she came with me. But it was too cold over there, so she came back after staying there for half an hour.]
[Stelle: Is it okay, little puppy? You feel cold at this temperature.]
[Belle: Hmph! You're not much better! Little March told me that you were also freezing like a dog when you first arrived at Beloberg!]
[Stelle: Damn it, March 7th is a traitor!]
[Victor: Speaking of which, Stelle, how long will it take for the Stellaron crisis in Beloberg to be resolved?]
[Stelle: Just resolved, Bronya has become the new Supreme Guardian.]
[Victor: Oh? So you will be setting off for the Xianzhou soon?]
[Stelle: Xianzhou? Didn't Himeko say that our next stop is that place called Pino-something-something-ni?]
[Victor: It's Penacony, but the plan will change later.]
[Stelle: Is that so?]
[Victor: Anyway, remember to tag me when you get to the Xianzhou. I want to go take a look and do a small experiment.]
[Stelle: No problem, but I also want to ask you something.]
[Stelle: Is there a trash can on the Xianzhou?]
[Victor: ...]
[Lumine: Do you really like rummaging through trash cans?]
[Stelle: What do you know? A golden legend can be found in a trash can!]
[Victor: Talk about the golden legend in detail!]
[Stelle: Golden garbage bag!]
[Victor: ...]
[Everyone: ...]
Even Shinobu, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, couldn't help but twitch her lips.
This girl's brain circuit was not normal.
[Lumine: By the way, Victor, do you know where there is a boat to Inazuma? I have been looking for it all day but couldn't find it.]
The original plan was to go to Inazuma today, but she couldn't find a ship willing to go to Inazuma, and now she and Paimon were still wandering in Liyue.
[Victor: Currently, the only ship that dares to cross the thunderstorm sea to Inazuma seems to be Big Sister Beidou's Alcor. You can go and ask Big Sister Beidou when she will go to Inazuma.]
[Lumine: Huh? So I have to wait a few more days. I heard that the Alcor has set sail a while ago and will not be back for a few days.]
[Victor: Then wait.]
[Lumine: That's fine. There's no rush for a few days anyway.]
After chatting for a while, Victor closed the chat group.
At this time, Shinobu had already finished washing the dishes.
"Would you like to go for a walk together?"
"Eh? Now?"
Shinobu seemed a little flustered by Victor's sudden invitation.
Is this a date?
The girl was at the age when she was just beginning to fall in love, and Victor was so handsome. Besides, he was also her sister's savior, so Shinobu naturally had a very high opinion of him.
Seeing the girl blushing, Victor naturally guessed what she was thinking, but he did not deny it.
"Yes, right now. I want to experience the customs and culture of this era."
The customs and culture of Japan in the Taisho era should be quite interesting.
"Wait a moment, I'll get my wallet!"
After saying that, Shinobu trotted towards the room and disappeared in an instant.
Victor couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.
She really thought of him as a man who was ready to live off her money.
But if she really wanted to buy something, she did need to pay for it.
After all, he didn't have coins from this era.
Soon, Shinobu ran back, holding a bulging pink wallet in her hand.
"Let's go!"
Shinobu's eyes were full of anticipation.
Victor put his arms around the girl's slender waist, then carried her into the air, flying towards the brightly lit city dozens of kilometers away.
Shinobu, lying in Victor's arms, had a flushed face.
She didn't know if it was because of shyness or the cold wind.
Maybe it was both?
But only she herself knew this.
After finding a deserted place to land, Victor put the girl down from his arms.
At this moment, a trace of reluctance flashed across Shinobu's eyes, but it was quickly covered up.
"Let's go explore over there!"
Shinobu plucked up her courage and took Victor's hand, running towards the busy street not far away.
"Okay." Victor smiled slightly and let the girl lead him.
