Chapter 99: The Grand Wedding of the Kuchiki Clan
Chapter 99: The Grand Wedding of the Kuchiki Clan
Fortunately, the other party seemed to have no intention of exposing themselves, and it was only when Yecheng touched Lun Ju's buttocks that the hidden aura in the shadows caused a slight fluctuation, making it difficult for Yecheng to realize they were being followed.
The allure of G-cup breasts was indeed irresistible, and Yecheng could even sense the prying eyes in the shadows following them for several blocks.
It wasn't until Yecheng sent Lun Ju back to the living quarters and chose to leave alone that the feeling of being watched finally disappeared.
After the escape of the Visoreds, including Kisuke Urahara, to the World of the Living, the Soul Society entered a relatively long period of stability.
Aizen had removed people like Shinji Hirako for two reasons: to conduct experiments and to further complete the Hogyoku, a position of higher status was indispensable.
Previously, he was only the vice-captain of the Fifth Division, and Shinji Hirako was the captain. To become the captain, he had to find a way to get rid of Shinji Hirako first.
Moreover, although Shinji Hirako seemed carefree, he was actually very detail-oriented. Aizen believed that keeping such a person around would eventually lead to his exposure.
That's why he chose to eliminate Shinji, and as for Kensei Muguruma and Hachigen Ushoda, they were just unlucky to be associated with Shinji.
With more test subjects, Aizen was even more willing to accept them, and this was a good thing for a researcher like him.
The more test subjects he had, the more data he could collect by observing the "Shinigami's Hollowfication" and the different changes it brought about in each individual.
It had been about fifty years since the Visoreds, including Kisuke Urahara, left the Soul Society.
During these fifty years, there had been some changes in the personnel of the Gotei 13.
Soifon finally mastered Bankai and replaced Yoruichi Shihouin as the captain of the Second Division.
Gin Ichimaru also passed the captains' examination with Aizen's recommendation and became the captain of the Third Division.
In the Sixth Division, Rukia Kuchiki stepped down, and Byakuya Kuchiki took over as captain.
In the same year, Byakuya Kuchiki, as one of the Four Great Noble Houses and the heir of the Kuchiki Clan, married Rukia Kuchiki, despite her common Soul Reaper origins.
That year, Byakuya Kuchiki truly became a winner in life, first succeeding as a captain and then getting married.
As one of the Four Great Noble Houses, the wedding of the Kuchiki Clan's heir was naturally an impressive affair.
Being new to the workforce, Byakuya Kuchiki's experience as a Shinigami was even less than some of the vice-captains and seat officers in the Thirteenth Division.
So, under the guidance of his grandfather, most of the Shinigami from the Gotei 13, including Yecheng, the fifth seat of the Thirteenth Division, were invited to Byakuya Kuchiki's wedding.
At the wedding, Yecheng also took a curious glance at the legendary Rukia Kuchiki.
She didn't just resemble Rukia Kuchiki; she was identical to her.
With the same determined expression and octopus-like hairstyle, her appearance was quite androgynous and clean-cut, but beyond that, she had almost no distinctive features.
Not to mention someone as beautiful and graceful as Rangiku or Soifon, who could strike various poses with her petite figure, was several levels more charming than Rukia Kuchiki.
Byakuya Kuchiki was not only a Shinigami captain but also the heir to one of the Four Great Noble Houses. In terms of looks, he was one of the few in the entire Soul Society who could rival Yecheng, a true top-tier rich, handsome, and talented individual.
Only the rich could have such unique tastes, perhaps even finding allure in that octopus-like hairstyle, which seemed to enhance Hime's charm.
Yecheng, on the other hand, had rather common preferences; he preferred those with a generous and accommodating nature.
"As expected of the Kuchiki clan, even the wine they serve to us, the Seat Officers and Vice-Captains, is the finest Huadiao wine, and the food is top-notch sashimi cuisine."
"This is what you call having deep pockets. I wonder what kind of luxury the Captains indulge in."
Sitting next to Yecheng was a woman named Akira Asagaya, a Shinigami who, over the past fifty years, had risen through the ranks to become a Seventh Seat Officer.
Originally, she wasn't qualified to attend Kuchiki Byakuya's grand wedding, but since Reikaku Sanzai had a mission, Fukuzaku brought her along.
"The Kuchiki clan is one of the Four Great Noble Houses of the Soul Society, and arguably the foremost among them. This level of hospitality is nothing extraordinary for them."
"What surprises me is that Kuchiki Byakuya, known as a genius since childhood and from a strict and prestigious family, would marry an ordinary soul from the Rukongai."
Among the Seat Officers and Vice-Captains present, Shunsui Kyoraku was the most knowledgeable about noble affairs.
In the past, the Soul Society had five great noble families, and the one that had since fallen from grace was the Shiba family.
Shiba Kaien was no less prestigious than Kuchiki Byakuya, and in terms of talent and effort, he was no less impressive than Byakuya.
However, as heirs to great noble families, their fates were as different as heaven and earth.
When Kaien inherited the Shiba family, it was in disarray, and he had to not only revive the family but also care for his younger siblings.
Byakuya, on the other hand, was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, receiving the best education. Even before becoming a Shinigami, his grandfather had paved a grand path for him, and he became a Captain before Kaien.
Despite their similar backgrounds and exceptional talents, the destinies of Kaien and Byakuya were worlds apart.
Kaien was a tragic figure from start to finish, while Byakuya seemed to have it all.
Although Byakuya later lost his wife, he was quickly set up with his sister-in-law, who looked identical to his late wife.
Kaien not only lost his wife but also had his soul taken by Metasutashia.
Ironically, Kaien was Rukia's mentor, and in the end, he was consumed by Metasutashia, the same person who took the life of Byakuya's sister-in-law.
Just as Yecheng was about to offer some words of comfort to Kaien, who was immersed in sorrow, a commotion broke out in the main hall where the wedding was taking place.
"What's happening? Is someone attacking the Kuchiki clan at this critical moment?"
"Attack the Kuchiki clan? Do you think that's possible? They're one of the Four Great Noble Houses. You must be joking.
Moreover, the people in the main hall are the Captains of various divisions. Who would be so foolish as to challenge the authority of the Captains of the 13th Division at this time?"
Soon, the reason for the commotion in the main hall became clear. Kuchiki Rukia, who was about to participate in the wedding ceremony, suddenly coughed violently and fainted on the spot!
It was only natural that the sudden collapse of the bride, one of the main protagonists of the wedding, would cause a stir.
