Chapter 421: The Prelude to the Turning of the Wheels of Fate
Chapter 421: The Prelude to the Turning of the Wheels of Fate
"Fei Zhen, if you really do this, Lucia will definitely hate you.
She took the initiative to take on the task of going to the Human World to prove her abilities to the Gotei 13.
And you're even preparing gifts for her superiors and arranging bodyguards and thugs. Isn't this further proof that she's a noble who got in through the back door?"
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, Fei Zhen's movements froze in place. If it were any other matter, she wouldn't care at all.
But being hated by her sister was something Fei Zhen absolutely couldn't accept! She's not joking; it took her, Fei Zhen, decades to barely mend the relationship between the two sisters to its current state.
If her sister hates her, Fei Zhen can't even imagine what kind of nightmare that would be!
"So what should I do then?"
Bribery is out of the question, and she can't stop Lucia from going to the Human World. Fei Zhen is truly at her wit's end.
"Rest assured, the Human World is much safer than the Soul Society. After all, ordinary people live there.
The previous incident where Lucia and her group were attacked by a Great Hollow was just an unexpected accident.
Usually, Great Hollows don't appear in the Human World. The Hollows that do appear there are of minor levels, and with Lucia's current strength, there's absolutely no danger to her life."
If you listen carefully, you'll find that Yecheng's words are quite reasonable.
He's saying that Lucia won't be in life-threatening danger, not that she won't encounter danger.
As a traverser, he's well aware that Lucia's journey to the Human World will definitely encounter danger and that she'll meet a certain humanoid self-walking beep.
It's definitely not possible for Yecheng to accompany Lucia to the Human World, even if Captain Fuyuzuki agrees. Yecheng wouldn't do such a thing.
The encounter between the octopus-headed girl and the pig-slaying boy is the prelude to the turning of the wheels of fate. What if his interference causes this wheel of fate to get stuck? What then?
If Yecheng were to accompany them, would Lucia still be backstabbed by those minor Hollows?
If Lucia doesn't encounter danger, how would the pig-slaying boy, who constantly complains, transform and unlock his overpowered abilities?
"The Human World is safe? But I heard that the last time you and Miss Lunju went to the Human World, you also encountered quite a bit of danger?"
Regarding Yecheng's words, Fei Zhen's expression was one of uncertainty. Her husband, Rukia Byakuya, did tell her that the environment in the Human World is not as cruel as the Soul Society, but Yecheng's several trips to the Human World have directly challenged Fei Zhen's understanding of 'safety.'
"Well, that was also an unexpected situation. Think about it, if the Human World is truly dangerous, then why are the Shinigami dispatched by the Gotei 13 to station there just average in strength?
If you're still worried, I can arrange for people I know in the Human World to take care of Lucia.
When Lucia goes to the Human World, I'll give her the contact information of the people I know there. That should solve the problem, right?"
Hearing Yecheng's words, a relieved expression finally appeared on Fei Zhen's face. But soon, she had some lingering doubts and asked, "Are the people you know reliable in terms of strength?"
Yecheng: "(▽｀), You can absolutely trust their strength; they're at least captain-level."
It's no joke to question the abilities of Kurona Kiyotsugu and Yecheng Yi. To be blunt, if the Human World's lineup were to compete with the Gotei 13 on the Soul Society's side, even if they couldn't achieve a 50-50 split, it would at least be a 60-40 advantage.
The Soul Society's victory is largely attributed to the monstrous strength of the Captain Commander and Captain Unohana.
After leaving the Kuchiki estate, Yecheng returned to the 13th Division, where Shiba Kaede, once a diligent individual, now clung to his wife, declaring he never wanted to lose his beloved again.
Indeed, after over a decade, the once-conscious Shiba Dou finally regained consciousness.
However, as Shiba Dou's death in the Soul Society was no secret, he, with Yecheng's assistance, altered his appearance to avoid suspicion.
The essence of a Shinigami is their soul, and their physical appearance can be manipulated.
Anticipating this situation, Yecheng had previously adjusted Shiba Dou's physique during his body reconstruction.
The current Shiba Dou only vaguely resembles his original self, with a 60-70% similarity in appearance. His hair color has also changed from black to white, and his figure has become more voluptuous.
To put it simply, if the original Shiba Dou was a B-cup, then the current one is at least a D-cup.
It's worth mentioning that when adjusting Shiba Dou's physique, Haiyan insisted on this alteration.
He argued that changing one's appearance alone wouldn't be enough to avoid recognition, so he urged Yecheng to increase his wife's cup size by two.
As for the reason behind increasing the size rather than reducing it, Haiyan explained that his wife had often complained about her small chest.
With Shiba Dou's resurrection, both he and Yecheng now share white hair. Additionally, Shiba Dou, grateful for Yecheng's life-saving deed and finding no issue with his original name, has taken on the new identity of Night God Dou.
Yecheng's origins in the Soul Flow Street make his background unverifiable, providing Shiba Dou with an ideal cover identity.
Indeed, several years ago, Shiba Dou rejoined the 13th Division under the new identity of Night God Dou, posing as Yecheng's long-lost sister, whom he claimed to have found in the Soul Flow Street and brought back to the Tranquil Spirit Courtyard."
The siblings share white hair, with one named Dou and the other Yecheng, a perfect disguise.
Shiba Dou, or rather, Night God Dou, is quite pleased with this new identity.
Far from treating it as a joke, she has genuinely regarded Yecheng as her younger brother over the past decade.
Yecheng not only saved her life but is also a benefactor to the Shiba family. Moreover, her soul now contains the "Divine Breath" power that Yecheng acquired from another world, fostering a natural sense of closeness towards him.
Shiba Dou even stated that she and Haiyan are a married couple, and with Konghe as their sister, Yecheng would eventually become her true brother.
Haiyan wholeheartedly agrees with Shiba Dou's logic, as he has long desired to make his best friend his actual brother.
With the added "sibling" relationship between Shiba Dou and Yecheng, Haiyan feels even more confident about the situation.
