I started with Emperor Armor and conquered Infinity.

Chapter 85 Heartbeat

Kanae Butterfly seemed to sense the intoxicating flutter in Lin Yao's eyes. Her cheeks flushed with an alluring blush, and she lowered her head shyly.

It was precisely because of this gentle and shy demeanor that Lin Yao's heart trembled slightly, and a variety of emotions welled up in his mind.

However, Lin Yao felt awkward about expressing his thoughts, as if he were repaying a debt of gratitude, so he suppressed his emotions.

Immediately, she raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair behind Kanae Butterfly's temple.

The long, slender fingers touched the smooth, warm skin at the temple, and both felt a slight tremor in their hearts.

Watching the two of them looking so well-matched, Shinobu Kocho felt a strange mix of emotions, even a kind of inexplicable bitterness.

Then, I wondered why I had such a strange feeling.

He quickly shook his head, barely managing to drive it away.

Meanwhile, the Demon Slayer Corps support staff, summoned by Kanae Kocho to treat the wounded, initially thought a major battle was about to break out and moved the injured away from the battlefield.

Then, to their surprise, after they had settled the wounded and looked up, they found that everything had changed and were all stunned.

The legendary Upper Moon Two, Doma, whose hands have been stained with the blood of several Pillars over the centuries.

They were quickly beaten to a pulp, with no chance of resistance whatsoever; the difference between them was like that between an adult and a child.

Only a single drop of blood remained suspended in mid-air.

"What happened?!"

After finally coming to their senses, the Demon Slayer Corps support staff rubbed their eyes in disbelief, thinking they were dreaming or seeing things.

But nothing changed; his gaze was somewhat vacant, and his face showed disbelief.

"The Upper Moon Two, Doma, has been killed! That's great! That's great!"

At that moment, a rather young voice rang out, trembling slightly. It belonged to a Demon Slayer Corps support staff member who harbored a deep-seated hatred for demons.

His sister died at the hands of Doma, and his happy family was destroyed because of the existence of demons.

Previously, he had no hope of getting revenge.

Even though the Demon Slayer Corps is very powerful, according to records, none of the Upper Rank Demons have died in hundreds of years; it is only the lesser demons who have died.

They all hide deep within, committing evil deeds and secretly harming many innocent people like his own sister.

It's easy to imagine how troublesome these issues are.

But now, the Upper Moon Two, which had ravaged the land for hundreds of years, has been killed by a young man.

"That person seems to know the Flower Pillar and the Ninja. As expected of someone the adults are familiar with, he has such great strength."

Another team member stared intently at Lin Yao, then at Kanae and Shinobu beside him, his eyes filled with awe and sudden realization.

"Hearing you say that, I think they are quite a good match, especially Lady Flower Pillar, who is gentle and beautiful. The man who killed Doma must be moved by her."

Some people's eyes darted back and forth between Lin Yao and Kanae Butterfly, and they couldn't help but nod in admiration.

Sure enough, there are always people gossiping about it.

"Actually, I think Lord Shinobu is pretty good too."

Some people disagree, feeling that the dashing Shinobu Kocho is a better match for Lin Yao.

Suddenly, the two groups, Kanae Kocho and Yo Lin, and Shinobu Kocho and Yo Lin, seemed to be fighting each other.

"Can't there be two?"

Seeing the impending conflict, the neutral faction, who wanted it all, immediately emerged.

"You bastards, how could you have such evil thoughts? It's utterly despicable."

However, upon hearing such a greedy choice, this side almost got their heads smashed by Yao Hui and Yao Ren's people.

Of course, most people didn't whisper or casually discuss the relationships between these important figures.

However, the shock, admiration, and excitement on his face never faded.

Especially when I saw Doma scattered in various places, a strange emotion welled up inside me.

The strength of the Upper Rank Demons is well known, not to mention Doma, who ranks second among the Upper Rank Demons and is a mountain pressing down on the Demon Slayer Corps.

The shock he felt at being killed by Lin Yao was indescribable.

Some team members, burdened with deep-seated hatred, had a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

With the help of such young and powerful beings, the Demon Slayer Corps' goal of eliminating the Demon King, the source of all evil, may be achieved by their generation.

……

"Yo-kun, our Demon Slayer Corps has always been dedicated to eliminating evil spirits and protecting the peace of people."

"So, I'd like to ask your opinion on our Demon Slayer Corps?"

After a moment of silence, Kanae Kocho seemed to have recovered from her earlier heart palpitations and raised her head to ask in a soft voice.

Of course, if one didn't notice the slight blush at his temples and the emotions shifting in his eyes, Lin Yao might have believed it.

At the same time, Lin Yao secretly praised Kocho Kanae after hearing the underlying meaning in her words.

Kanae Butterfly truly embodies the gentle, intellectual, and intelligent demeanor of an older sister.

During the inquiry, they did not directly ask Lin Yao whether he wanted to join the Demon Slayer Corps, but rather wanted to ask for his opinion on the Demon Slayer Corps.

Having a sense of proportion allows for flexibility and room for maneuver.

Butterfly, standing to the side, suppressed her thoughts and didn't think too much about it, but she was very curious about Lin Yao's opinion.

After all, for the Demon Slayer Corps, the powerful figure in front of them, who was capable of killing Upper Moon Two Doma, had an extremely strong influence even if he only said a few words.

Furthermore, if Lin Yao could be recruited into the Demon Slayer Corps, it would be because, apart from Muzan, the Demon King, and Kokushibo, the Upper Moon One, no other demon could match him.

The Demon Slayer Corps' mission will reach a new peak, bringing hope for an end to the tragedy.

"The Demon Slayer Corps consists of a group of brave people who are willing to fight powerful demons without regard for their own safety, which is admirable."

Lin Yao pondered for a moment, recalling the tragedies he had witnessed along the way. His gaze slowly swept over the Demon Slayer Corps members around him, his expression serious and solemn.

Seeing such a high evaluation of the Demon Slayer Corps from a powerful figure like Lin Yao, not only did Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho's eyes light up, but the Demon Slayer Corps members who surrounded them did the same.

The recognition of an ordinary person might not excite them so much, but the recognition of a strong person like Lin Yao carries great weight.

Ultimately, even though each member of the Demon Slayer Corps may carry a deep-seated hatred, it cannot be denied that they have saved many people and prevented demons from being so arrogant.

"Even though you are still at a disadvantage when facing those evil spirits, that only shows your courage and resilience, your fearlessness in the face of death."

Lin Yao continued, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"After all, strength can be developed, but that inner perseverance is not so easy to acquire."

As Kanae and Shinobu listened to Lin Yao's words, smiles as bright as sunshine appeared on their faces.

They knew that Lin Yao's recognition of the Demon Slayer Corps' ideals and the spirit of its members added a glimmer of hope to winning him over.

Of course, they weren't in a hurry for it; getting a friendship from Li was already quite good enough.
