Bleach: Getting Stronger Starting from Teaching at the Spiritual Arts Academy.

"Mommy seems to be in a lot of pain, Death Sister, let's go in quickly." The little girl's face was full of worry as she tugged at Hoshino Rie's hand, wanting to go in as soon as possible.

Hoshino Rie suddenly realized and smiled, saying, "It seems your mother isn't sick, but is about to give birth. Your little brother or sister is coming soon!"

"Really? I'm going to have a younger brother or sister?" The little girl's expression changed from worry to joy. "That's wonderful! After I'm gone, my younger brother and sister can stay with Mommy in my place!"

The little girl was too young to understand the concept of the due date. She thought her mother was often uncomfortable because she was sick.

The two waited outside for a long time.

Hoshino Rie originally wanted to wait until the pregnant woman inside gave birth before taking the little girl in to see her mother, but she waited for a long time and it didn't end. The pregnant woman's wails inside the house were getting weaker and weaker.

Hoshino Rie looked worried and said to the little girl, "Let's go inside."

Inside the room, several servants and midwives were assisting the woman with childbirth.

The woman gripped the edge of the bed tightly, the wooden frame already marked with many scratches from her fingernails.

Her face was contorted, and she looked extremely pained.

The little girl came to her mother's side, tears streaming down her face: "Mommy!"

The woman opened her eyes, saw the girl, immediately released her grip on the bed, reached out to grab the girl, and said weakly, "Mei? Mei, you're here?"

"Mom, I've come to see you!"

"Mei...it's my fault for not taking good care of you..."

"It has nothing to do with Mom. I just want to see her get better soon..."

"Mea Yi..."

Both mother and daughter were in tears.

"Who is Mei?" the midwife asked the servant beside her. "Bring her over; it might help the lady hold on a little longer!"

“Mei is… the lady’s deceased daughter,” the servant said helplessly.

"Oh no! The lady has lost her senses! Quickly bring the medicine over to keep her conscious!" the midwife exclaimed in alarm.

The servant brought over a bowl of medicine and had the woman drink it.

Perhaps it was the effect of the herbal medicine, or perhaps it was seeing her daughter, but the woman's spirits improved somewhat.

After a moment, the midwife exclaimed with delight, "It's almost out!"

A few minutes later, a baby's cry rang out, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mother and son are safe!"

"I want to see my little brother," the little girl said.

"Let me hold the baby." The woman noticed that the others couldn't see her daughter, so she asked the midwife to give her the child. Ignoring the strange looks from the others, she held the baby to her daughter. "Mei, this is your little brother..."

"They don't look like us..."

"He's still young... he'll look like that when he's older..."

Looking at the scene before her, Hoshino Rie felt a pang of doubt. According to the girl, her mother shouldn't be able to see her.

But now the woman saw her.

Most humans cannot see the soul; generally speaking, only those with spiritual talents can see and interact with the soul.

Suddenly, she heard a whooshing sound coming from her right.

bang——

Hoshino Rie only had time to draw her Zanpakuto before being sent flying by a tremendous force.

She crashed into the solid wood table, the powerful impact lifting the heavy table and sending it flying backward until it shattered the corner of the wall before coming to a stop.

"Cough cough—" Hoshino Rie scrambled to her feet, trying to grab the Zanpakuto that had fallen to the side, but found that she could no longer move her hand.

Hoshino Rie was horrified; her hand was broken!

Moreover, before she was knocked away, she had already seen that the enemy was a Hollow, but she still couldn't sense the Hollow's spiritual pressure.

This is a Hollow that excels at concealing its spiritual pressure!

"Mei, run!"

Hearing the woman's urgent shouts, Hoshino Rie looked up and her pupils dilated sharply.

A blurry image came into view.

It had a long tail, and it must have used that tail to whip her away.

Most importantly—the long tail had already passed through the woman's belly.

The woman, with a strength she didn't know she possessed, handed the baby in her arms to the little girl when the monster appeared, and pushed her away.

Chapter 58 Dilemma (Please continue reading)

The little girl, holding her newborn brother, froze in place.

Being too young to make a rational judgment in this situation, she stared blankly at the scene before her.

But she quickly realized that her mother had been hurt by the monster and cried out anxiously, "Mom!"

"Madam...wife!"

Such a strange thing happened in the room that some of the servants and midwives wanted to escape, but then they saw the door open.

Hearing the commotion inside, the young man pushed open the door and entered the room: "What happened?!"

"Young Master, it seems... it seems there are unseen ghosts in the house!" the servant said in a trembling voice.

The servants and midwives inside the house could not see Xu and the little girl. They only saw the table suddenly smash against the wall, and then the lady who had just given birth was pierced by something and seemed to be lifted up.

At that moment, a terrifying smile appeared on the mask of Nagao Uzumaki, revealing his white teeth.

"We're family, huh? Then let's send you off to reunite!" Nagao Gen let out a piercing laugh. "You'd better thank me properly!"

It swung its tail, throwing the woman on its tail at the young man.

The young man was just an ordinary human being and had no time to react before being hit by his wife.

The two men's flesh and blood merged, and they fell silent.

The scene before them caused the people inside to completely collapse, and they all rushed towards the door. However, there were too many of them, and for a moment they got stuck in the door frame.

"Hurry up!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Let me out!"

The girl was devastated. Her parents had died tragically before her eyes, and she was holding her newborn brother in her arms. However, she had no power to protect her brother from this terrifying monster.

The intense despair caused the chains of cause and effect on her heart to corrode and dissolve rapidly.

"How interesting!" Nagao Hun grinned maliciously, ignoring the humans blocking the doorway, and turned to look at the girl.

It suddenly became interested and wanted to see if the girl would just turn into nothingness.

And for some reason, the newborn child was particularly tempting, which greatly increased its appetite, and that's why it came.

It stretched out its claws and quickly reached for the younger brother in the girl's arms.

The girl tried to escape, but her speed was negligible in the eyes of the long-tailed monster, and she couldn't escape its claws at all.

call out--

Suddenly, the girl disappeared.

Nagao Utsuro turned his head and saw the Shinigami who had been sent flying earlier holding a girl and a child.

However, she looked to be in very bad condition. Her right hand was hanging limply, bleeding profusely, her breathing was disordered, and several of her right sternum bones were broken.

"It's quite sturdy; we should use more force," Long-tailed Hollow sneered.

Hoshino Rie was slightly out of breath, and her legs were trembling. She was too badly injured, and it seemed that she was about to exceed her limit after using only the next Shunpo.

My legs felt like they were filled with lead and wouldn't obey my commands.

She quickly realized that the tendons in her leg might also be injured.

Hoshino Rie gritted her teeth, forcibly raised her spiritual pressure, grabbed the girl and child, smashed open the wooden window, and fled outside.

However, just as she escaped outside, she witnessed a scene that filled her with despair.

On the opposite rooftop, a figure with an extremely imposing presence was lying there.

It was a Hollow that resembled a gecko, even larger than the long-tailed Hollow inside the house. The eyes on its mask alone were larger than those of an adult.

bang——

The wall behind him was smashed, and the figure of Nagao Utsuro slowly appeared.

"It's...it's all over..."

Hoshino Rie originally wanted to escape, make a commotion, and attract her teammates' attention to the situation so they could come to her aid.

But by then she was in dire straits.

There's no strength left to run far, let alone escape from the clutches of both sides.

It seems she won't live to see her teammates rescue her.

"This is my prey!" After warning the gecko, the long-tailed Void extended its claws and grabbed at Hoshino Rie.

Just then, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

call out--

puff-

The long-tailed fox's claws suddenly split open and broke into several pieces.

The person who appeared in front of Hoshino Rie was Yoruichi Shihouin.

“I’m saved…” Hoshino Rie felt a huge sense of relief.

She was quite familiar with her fellow disciple's abilities.

Yoruichi Shihouin turned around, revealing what she thought was a cool smile. "Yo, I'm not late, am I?"
