  Chapter 60 Acceptance

  "Don't worry, your sister is different from other evil spirits. She will not be harmed by the sun."

  Lin Yi's words were like a bombshell exploding in everyone's hearts.

  In this world, evil spirits cannot see the sunlight. This is an iron rule that has not been broken for hundreds of years.

  Sunlight is like deadly poison to evil spirits. Once exposed to sunlight, the evil spirit's body will quickly collapse and turn into ashes.

  This characteristic forces evil spirits to hide in dark corners or appear at night to avoid the burning sunlight.

  However, Lin Yi said that Nezuko would not be harmed by the sun.

  Could it be that Nezuko's bloodline has been perfected? This thought flashed through Jiuzhu's mind.

  Even the powerful Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji could not do this.

  If Nezuko's bloodline is truly perfected, then she will become an unprecedented existence, a demon who can walk freely in the sun.

  "If you're worried that Nezuko will get hurt, just let her stretch out her hand and you'll know."

  Hearing Lin Yi's proposal, Tanjiro felt a complex emotion in his heart.

  He was afraid that Nezuko would be hurt, but he also hoped that what Lin Yi said was true.

  This contradiction and struggle made his eyes a little confused.

  Just then, Tanjiro felt his sleeve being gently tugged.

  He turned around and saw Nezuko looking at him with her clear eyes.

  "Let me try, brother." Although Nezuko's voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.

  Since becoming a demon, she is no longer a weak girl who can only rely on her brother's protection, and Nezuko's heart has become more mature and strong.

  She knew very well that she couldn't keep hiding in the small box and become a burden to her brother.

  Nezuko longs to help her brother share some of the burden, even if it means facing unknown risks and challenges.

  Tanjiro looked into Nezuko's determined eyes, and the hesitation and worry in his heart gradually dissipated.

  He nodded gently, signaling Nezuko to try.

  Nezuko saw this and a smile appeared on her face.

  She moved carefully, slowly extending her white arm out of the shadow and exposing it to the sunlight.

  When Nezuko's arm was exposed to the sunlight, the burning scene that everyone expected did not appear.

  The white arms were safe and sound in the sunlight. Nezuko walked out of the shadows and stood in the sunlight. The smile on her face bloomed like a flower. It was a long-lost joy from the heart.

  She raised her hands to cover her eyes, as if trying to adapt to the sudden light.

  The sunlight shines on Nezuko's body, covering her with a layer of golden glow. She looks like an angel descending from heaven, pure and beautiful.

  Tanjiro on the side couldn't control his emotions, tears streaming down his cheeks, tears of excitement and also tears of relief.

  He knew that from now on, his sister would no longer be bound by the sun. She would be able to live in the sun like a normal person and enjoy the warmth and beauty of this world.

  "Thank you! Thank you sir."  

  Tanjiro's voice was filled with deep gratitude and endless respect, tears sparkling in his eyes.

  He reached out his hand and gently wiped the tears that were sliding down the corners of his eyes, then held Nezuko's hand tightly and led her towards Lin Yi step by step.

  Walking in front of Lin Yi, Tanjiro slowly knelt on the ground. His knees lightly touched the ground, making a dull sound.

  Then he lowered his head and performed a standard kneeling ceremony to Lin Yi.

  His hands and knees were pressed tightly against the ground, and his forehead gently knocked against the ground. This etiquette represented the highest respect and gratitude in that era.

  Tanjiro could only express his gratitude to Lin Yi in this way.

  "All of this has nothing to do with me. It is entirely the result of your own efforts and good fortune. Tanjiro, if you hadn't been so determined to lead your sister Nezuko, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to perfect her bloodline and resist the burning of the sun."

  Lin Yi's mind was as clear as a mirror. He knew very well the secret hidden in Nezuko. For the entire Demon Slayer Corps, it was undoubtedly a key that could change the situation of the battle, and it could not be revealed for the time being.

  If Muzan Kibutsuji learns the truth about the blue red spider lily, the plot will go in an unpredictable and uncontrollable direction.

  Deep in the room, Ubuyashiki Yoya sat quietly, countless sinister and vicious plans kept flashing in Ubuyashiki's mind, each of which was enough to put Kibutsuji Muzan into an irretrievable situation.

  For Ubuyashiki Kōya, there is no strategy that he cannot use to deal with Muzan Kibutsuji.

  He was well aware of Muzan Kibutsuji's desire to overcome the sunlight.

  Once the other party learns of Nezuko's existence, they will definitely come to snatch her away.

  This is exactly the result that Ubuyashiki Yoya wanted. He hopes to use Nezuko to lure Muzan Kibutsuji into a trap from which there is no possibility of escape.

  "Okay, Nezuko and Tanjiro have proven themselves, everyone can go home. From now on, Nezuko will be a member of our Demon Slayer Corps." Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's words echoed in the air with unquestionable majesty.

  Hearing the lord's order, the nine pillars nodded their heads in agreement and then dispersed.

  After Ubuyashiki Yoya gave the order, Love Pillar Kanroji Mitsuri immediately jumped happily to Nezuko's side.

  There are very few female members in the Demon Slayer Corps, and Mitsuri Kanroji has always lacked a playmate with whom she could talk.

  Most of the other female team members harbor deep hatred and only think about how to eliminate more evil spirits every day. They have almost no free time to enjoy life.

  Therefore, when Nezuko appeared in Mitsuri Kanroji's sight, she finally found a friend with whom she could share happiness and daily life.

  Just as everyone was about to leave, Lin Yi's voice reached everyone's ears: "If you are free recently, please come to the Butterfly House. My medical skills have improved recently. If you don't mind, I will help you check your physical condition."

  This sudden invitation made every pillar present excited.

  As the elite of the Demon Slayer Corps, they have long been fighting against evil spirits on the front line.

  Although they look young and strong, in fact, each of them carries countless hidden injuries in their body.

  Some of these hidden injuries were left in fierce battles, while others were gradually accumulated during long-term missions.

  They are like hidden enemies, eroding their bodies silently.

  Once hidden injuries break out, their life flames will become extremely fragile and may be extinguished at any time like a candle in the wind.
