Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Not far away.

A little girl with blonde hair and delicate features is making a fuss.

Judging from his appearance, he looks to be only around ten years old.

Wearing an oversized high school uniform, she looked quite cute.

The two men behind her exchanged a glance and gave each other a helpless, bitter smile.

The thin man's name is Inuzaki Ryusei.

The tall and imposing man is called Sarugawa Ryūzaburō.

They were also known as Inu-ryu and Aru-ryu, and were both retainers of the Kasumi-no-ji family.

Seeing the princess's willful behavior, a bitter smile crept onto their lips.

Ruri Chiyo is too young to understand things; they can't be like the princess.

They weren't on vacation at all; they were on the run.

Over the years, the elders of the Xia Dalu family had been suppressed too severely by Yun Jingyaojue, so it was only natural that they would rebound after hitting rock bottom.

Therefore, Yun Jingyao naturally used the name of the family head to carry out a major purge among them.

She even wanted to take this opportunity to kill Lady Ruri Chiyo and take control of the Kasumioji family!

And right now, they are being hunted down by assassins sent by Yun Jingyao.

Just as I was pondering this, a thick fog rolled in, enveloping the entire street.

"This feeling... is that of a suicide squad member from Yunjing!"

The dog-dragon and the monkey-dragon were shocked, their pupils contracted sharply, and they quickly protected Ruri Chiyo.

The two reacted quickly, immediately removing their artificial bodies and drawing their Zanpakuto, ready to unleash their power at any moment.

One after another, figures emerged from the mist.

Battle is imminent.

Those Grim Reapers, who were clearly dressed in ninja outfits but also wore a layer of samurai armor on top, drew their swords and slashed at you.

The weapons come in various shapes and sizes, clearly different from the Zanpakuto of a typical Shinigami.

This is a work by the Xia Dalu family.

Mo Yao Dao!

"Damn it, they found out so quickly!"

"Bloom and dance wildly, red branches drooping!"

With a roar, Inu-ryu gripped the sword with both hands, and pink petals instantly bloomed from the blade.

"Let the earth shake, Earth Maru!"

Enryu also released his Zanpakuto, the long sword emitting a cold light and transforming into a pair of enormous black fists.

Although the Zanpakuto has been freed.

However, even when surrounded by more than a dozen assassins, they still dared not relax their vigilance.

Unleashing their Zanpakuto is not their exclusive privilege.

They knew that those weapons called Bakuya-no-Tō, although not Zanpakutō, also possessed abilities similar to sword release.

"Damn it, they actually launched an attack in a place like this. Aren't they afraid of being discovered by the Soul Society?"

Inu-ryu blocked an assassin's path and said through gritted teeth.

Kasumi Rurichiyo looked panicked and kept running away, eventually hiding in the nearest shop.

Then they fled in a panic, not knowing where to go.

Unsurprisingly, she fell.

It's like a cliché scene from an anime.

She collapsed onto a man who was resting.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

I want everything.

Chapter 319 Quincy

"I don't know if my luck is good or bad."

"The Soul Society has been searching for this young lady for almost half a month, and I actually ran into her so easily."

"But it seems like a troublesome matter."

Aozaki Mayuki moved the unidentified object that had been sitting on her face to her lap.

Kasumi Rurichiyo felt the breath and touch coming from below her and showed a puzzled expression.

Why does this feel so familiar?

She turned around and looked down, her face slightly flushed.

Just then, Yuanlong's expression suddenly changed drastically.

"What...what's going on?"

The ape-dragon's eyes widened, its face filled with astonishment.

The street, which was just a moment ago bustling with people, is now completely silent.

Pedestrians on the road seemed to be affected by some force, and one after another they fell to the ground.

"It's spiritual pressure... whoosh... whoosh... this terrifying spiritual pressure..."

Inu-ryu was panting heavily, his face turning as pale as paper.

He sensed the powerful and dangerous spiritual pressure.

An inexplicable pressure weighed on his heart, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

"what!"

Amidst the joyful exclamations of Kasumi Rurichiyo, Aozaki Mayuki instantly detached from the artificial body.

The next second, a flash of fire appeared.

"Be mindful of your limits."

"Aozaki Mayuki said gently, while sitting up with Kasumi Oji Rurichiyo in her arms.

A beautiful woman in a red kimono, her figure ethereal and dreamlike, gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.

Suddenly, a dazzling flame rose out of thin air.

It was burning fiercely, with intense heat and a bright light.

As flames appeared, a shrill scream came from the swirling mist.

The sound was piercing and chilling, constantly echoing in everyone's hearts.

"It happened in an instant..."

Inu-ryu, who was holding his sword to defend against the attack, stared wide-eyed, his face full of shock.

In the blink of an eye, he only felt a flash of fire.

He then instantly burned all the enemies to ashes.

The ape dragon standing to the side couldn't help but swallow hard.

However, before they could react...

Kasumi Rurichiyo suddenly let out a sharp scream.

Then, like a nimble little female leopard, she pounced on the Grim Reaper who had just spoken.

She clung tightly to the other person's neck, like a koala, refusing to let go.

"It's Lady Mayuki! I've finally found Lady Mayuki!"

Kasumi Rurichiyo was so excited that her eyes welled up with tears, and she shouted in a trembling voice.

"Alright, alright, calm down. Why are you talking like it's been so long?"

Aozaki Mayuki looked slightly puzzled, but still gently comforted her.

He supported her little bottom with one hand and easily held her in his arms.

Kasumi Rurichiyo is a regular customer of his.

We see each other once a month, which is considered a small amount. The last time we met was just over a month ago.

Judging from her tone, anyone who didn't know better would think the two hadn't seen each other for most of their lives.

"Lord Aozaki, thank you very much."

Inu-ryu and En-ryu immediately came to their senses and hurriedly ran over to Aozaki Mayuki, bowing respectfully.

As a hereditary retainer of the Kasumioji family, he faces Aozaki Mazuki, who is a high-ranking noble.

The two were extremely polite, showing no disrespect whatsoever.

Aozaki Mayuki said:

"You guys are always causing trouble. The entire Gotei 13 is in a real mess because of you."

"It's not our fault, Zhenyue. It's all Yunjing Yaojue's fault. I knew he wasn't a good person!"

Kasumi Rurichiyo spoke angrily, her eyes filled with rage and dissatisfaction.

"That guy actually tried to kill me, but I finally found Mayuki, that's great! I'll definitely teach that guy a lesson when we get back."

Kasumi Rurichiyo became more and more excited as she talked, and even when Aozaki Mayuki picked her up and held her in mid-air, she kept flapping her little legs.

"Um... Lord Aozaki, this isn't the right place for a chat. Let's go somewhere else!"

"Iron Dragon, covered in blood, suggested, looking down at the people lying on the ground around him."
