Chat Group: In the World of Eminence in Shadow, Just Defeated Shadow

Fifty-fourth Chapter: Cat Maid, Dragon Maid, Fox Maid (Request for Subscription)

“The location of Mushan is on me.”

With his power restricted to the mid-seven-digit level, the other members would basically be at a loss right now.

But Bai Luo was different.

After half a month of effort, Bai Luo’s control over his strength had improved significantly.

Even with only the power of the mid-seven-digit level, Bai Luo was confident that he could complete a scan of the entire Japan in a short time.

“Trouble you, Brother Bai Luo.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Bai Luo patted Tanjiro’s shoulder: “Focus on improving your practical combat skills in the upcoming assessment.”

“Hmm!”

Tanjiro nodded seriously: “Then everyone, I’m off!”

“Good luck.”

“We’ll be watching you closely.”

Hearing everyone’s encouragement, Tanjiro turned and ran toward the sea of wisteria flowers ahead.

He wasn’t fighting alone. His sister Tzudoki, teacher Rinzo Sakonji, and everyone from the chat group were with him.

Thinking about the brothers and sisters from other worlds who came from afar to cheer him on, Tanjiro felt full of energy.

“By the way, is this child really okay?”

Master Abe was actually a bit worried. As an ordinary person, she didn’t know what it meant to fight demons.

“Rest assured, the current Tanjiro is much stronger than the original one at this period.”

In the chat group, Tanjiro hasn’t gained nothing. Every night, Tanjiro would enter the virtual world of the arena while sleeping to continue practicing Water Breathing.

When others have free time, they would also act as his opponents, enhancing Tanjiro’s practical combat ability.

Although Tanjiro’s breathing method hasn’t reached the level of constant practice yet, it is already very close to when he went to the Spider Mountain in the original story.

With such strength, passing the assessment is a sure thing.

“Now, let’s find a better spot to watch Tanjiro’s performance.”

Bai Luo snapped his fingers, and everyone present felt their vision blur.

When they realized it, they were already in an ancient shrine.

This was exactly where the Demon Slayer Corps assessment candidates gathered.

However, when Bai Luo and the others appeared here, the people around them seemed completely unaware and continued doing their own things.

“Where are we?”

Qian Renxue asked curiously: “Hmm? They seem unable to see us. Why is that?”

“Everyone has my Sacred Domain power, which makes outsiders subconsciously ignore our existence.”

As Bai Luo said this, a swirling black vortex appeared behind him.

The next moment, a gray-haired fox-eared girl and a girl wearing a cheongsam with dragon horns emerged from it. They were Bai Luo’s personal maids, Hong Ye and Xi Wu.

“Meow~~”

But it wasn’t over yet. The cat girl leaped over the two women like a pink ball of fluff and landed steadily on Bai Luo’s shoulder.

The little one raised her chin, looking proud as if she’d gotten a perfect score, making people couldn’t help but chuckle.

“To bring three at once, I really envy you, Old Bai, with so many points.”

Wiesmann originally planned to bring Genos Nitenjiro to the Demon Slayer World this time.

However, considering his available points, after discussing with Dogo, Wiesmann ultimately decided to save those points.

Chat group points can either be earned by signing in or selling items with mystical attributes.

Like the dangerous species corpses uploaded by Esdeath, the time bullets made by Kurumi Tokisaki, and the soul beast meat brought by Qian Renxue, they indeed earn points, but the returns aren’t as high as everyone thought.

Besides, since Kurumi Tokisaki performed ten consecutive ship sinkings, everyone developed psychological scars regarding the chat group’s lottery function.

[Group Member Kurumi Tokisaki completes ten consecutive draws]

[Congratulations! You’ve won: Jeanne d’Arc’s Jeans (Gray), Amai Seraph’s Remote Control (Gray), Ten-Year Soul Beast Bamboo (Gray), Jade Immortal Master’s Egg (White), One Century Blue Silver Grass (White), Ancient Relic Fragment (Green), East Sea Cloud Dragon Hair (Green), Fourth Bullet (Blue), Spatial Soul Guidance Ring (Blue), Tactical Manifestation Device for Pokémon (Blue)]

Hmm, among these, the only useful blue items were the Fourth Bullet Boomerang and the rather mocking Tactical Manifestation Device.

The spatial soul guidance ring was quite nice, having one cubic meter of space.

But the problem was that Kurumi possessed a vast shadow space. Did she need just one cubic meter of storage space?

In summary, with Kurumi’s precedent of sinking ships, no one dared to throw points into the prize pool anymore.

“Points?”

Back to reality, Bai Luo smiled and replied, “I didn’t use any extra points.”

“Eh?”

“This should be a bug in the chat group.”

Bai Luo explained, “Simply put, as long as you can make the chat group think you’re a whole entity, then there’s no need to pay extra points.”

System conflicts will be resolved for free.

Just like Cat Girl, Hong Ye, and Xi Wu, they are bound to Bai Luo’s Sacred Domain. In the eyes of the chat group, they are like Bai Luo’s summoned creatures.

Summoned creatures, naturally, are part of Bai Luo’s power.

Bai Luo traveling to the Demon Slayer World doesn’t require additional points; it’s a benefit for group members.

Thus, the benefits extended, and Cat Girl and the others enjoyed them too.

“Is it possible to do this?!!!”

Wiesmann: “What about my Silver Sacred Domain?”

“This might not work.”

Bai Luo stopped Wiesmann who wanted to try, saying, “Your Sacred Domain lacks spatial abilities, at least for now.”

“In other words, one is related to power, like vassals or derivative products like clans.”

“And secondly, there needs to be a space that can accommodate them, thus deceiving the judgment of the chat group and obtaining a free ticket to travel between worlds?”

Esdeath, being an imperial general, quickly understood what Bai Luo wanted to express.

“Exactly.”

Bai Luo said, “So if there’s only space and the people carried are unrelated to you, the chat group won’t approve.”

Rather than thinking it’s a loophole in the chat group, it’s better to say that the chat group inherently has such a mechanism.

Like Bai Luo, his animal-eared girls, and Alpha, Beta, etc.

Their current strength is mostly given by Bai Luo.

In a sense, the power within them belongs to Bai Luo; it’s part of him.

This is the essence of the hidden vassal carrying mechanism in the chat group.

“That’s really unfortunate.”

Wiesmann was disappointed; such a good opportunity to freeload was lost to him.

“There will be opportunities in the future.”

Currently, in the chat group, only Bai Luo can exploit this loophole.

“Xi Wu, Hong Ye, please set up.”

Without needing Bai Luo to say more, the two women started setting up the scene.

“And me! Don’t forget me, meow!”

The cat girl jumped down from Bai Luo’s shoulder and transformed into a cute silver-haired girl.

She ran to Xi Wu and Hong Ye and used illusions to expand the corner of the shrine more than ten times its original size.

Hong Ye manipulated natural elements, creating tables and chairs, and brought surrounding wisteria flowers. Soon, the place where everyone was located was transformed into a scenic viewing platform with pleasant scenery.

This scene left the group members who were seeing the cat girl and Hong Ye’s abilities for the first time amazed.

“So impressive, it feels like the space suddenly became much larger.”

“Is it an illusion?”

Esdeath and Kurumi Tokisaki, with their sharp senses, immediately noticed something unusual about the environment.

“It appears expanded, but in reality, it hasn’t changed.”

Bai Luo: “It’s merely a visual deception.”

Despite this, Esdeath was still impressed by the cat girl’s ability: even my perception was deceived; this child’s illusions are truly remarkable.

Silently deceiving everyone present.

If it weren’t for the cat girl performing the operation in front of them, Esdeath would have suffered greatly if this happened suddenly under normal circumstances.

“Pant pant~~”

“Master, master, isn’t my ability amazing?”

Seeing the cat girl whose face was written all over with ‘come praise me’, Bai Luo naturally stroked her head: “Hmm, worthy of being my personal guard.”

“Hehe~~”

The cat girl lifted her head, stood tall, and placed her hands on her hips: “Me! Personal Guard!”

Hong Ye saw this and shook her head helplessly.

She didn’t have the idea of competing for Bai Luo’s affection.

On the contrary, Hong Ye liked the innocent and lively cat girl and was happy to see her satisfied with Bai Luo’s praise.

“Please take your seats.”

Xi Wu’s expression remained cold, her voice as calm as ever.

As she indicated for everyone to sit down, she raised her hand and summoned colorful mists, projecting the entire Fujise Mountain onto the mist through light refraction.

“This older sister is also very capable.”

Among Bai Luo’s three vassals, the cat girl was silly, Hong Ye was like a gentle older sister.

Only Xi Wu gave everyone a considerable sense of pressure.

“Ah, she gives me a dangerous feeling.”

Esdeath stared at Xi Wu, her eyes subtly revealing a hint of fighting spirit: “Like… dangerous species…”

This feeling was extremely strange.

From appearance alone, apart from having horns, Xi Wu looked no different from an ordinary human woman.

Yet, Esdeath detected the aura of a wild ferocious beast from her. “And it’s a super-special-class dangerous species far more terrifying than any dangerous species I’ve encountered before!”

Dangerous species, super dangerous species, super special-class dangerous species.

If a comparison must be made, the impression Xi Wu gave Esdeath was akin to the East Sea Cloud Dragon she had once glimpsed from afar.

That massive figure stretching tens of thousands of meters, blocking the sky and hiding the sun, the awe-inspiring sight still lingered vividly in Esdeath’s memory.

“Xi Wu is a dragon from my world.”

Bai Luo knew Xi Wu didn’t care about this and introduced: “Cat Girl, the little one I brought back from Wiesmann’s world, then Hong Ye, my housekeeper.”

“Very honored to meet all of you.”

Hong Ye gracefully bowed to everyone.

For these guests from other worlds, Hong Ye showed the utmost respect.

“So cute.”

Master Abe approached, curiously observing Hong Ye’s fox ears.

She had an impulse to touch them.

Fortunately, Master Abe’s reason prevailed, preventing her from making such a rude request.

Soon, everyone took their seats.

It was a white long table filled with various foods handmade by Master Abe.

The gathering was in the form of a buffet.

Bai Luo, Esdeath, and Qian Renxue provided ingredients, including magical beasts from the Shadow World, dangerous species from the Amegakure World, and soul beasts from the Douluo World.

It was the first time Master Abe encountered these fantastical ingredients.

Therefore, she invested a great deal of energy and interest in studying them for a while.

And now was the time to showcase her results.

Watching the group members starting to converse with each other, Ace and Kurumi Tokisaki were still a pair of rivals, bickering upon meeting.

Esdeath, however, shared common topics with Qian Renxue and was currently discussing something together.

Wiesmann was very interested in these dishes, and Master Abe happily explained the cooking methods to him.
