Death's Hidden Mobile

"Is there some kind of surprise planned?"

Xia Yanle's mouth hung open in a wide grin. He suddenly pushed open the door, bang, bang...

After a few soft sounds, Xia Yan's body was covered in ribbons, and several faces appeared in front of him.

"Happy 30th birthday, Xia Yan."

Renji Abarai laughed heartily, while Rukia covered her mouth beside him, and Momo Hinamori and Izuru Kira stood not far away.

In addition, there are members of the Women's Shinigami Association, such as Kusajishi Yachiru, Matsumoto Rangiku, Kurotsuchi Nemu, and Ise Nanao.

In addition, there are Shiba Kaien, Shiba Tomo, and Shiba Kukaku.

The room was full of people, and I knew everyone in it.

"This, this is?" Xia Yan was a little dumbfounded. Wasn't Soi Fon supposed to ask him out alone?

At this moment, Soi Fon appeared in front of Natsuhiko and said with a smile, "You're turning thirty this year. After we, the Women's Shinigami Association, learned about this, we decided to hold a celebration banquet for you, so we invited all your friends here."

As Soi Fon finished speaking, Kusajishi Yachiru raised her hand and shouted, "It was Yachiru's idea!"

Although Xia Yan was somewhat disappointed that it wasn't Soi Fon who invited him, he was very happy to have so many friends gathered together.

Therefore, Xia Yan looked at Kusajishi Yachiru and said with a smile, "Thank you, Yachiru."

Kusajika Yachiru clapped her hands and said, "Now that Natsuhiko is here, let's begin the banquet."

With a single sentence from Kusajishi Yachiru, most of the female Shinigami Association members scattered and gathered together to enjoy the food.

The banquet featured a wide variety of food, served buffet-style, including fruit, desserts, drinks, and dishes.

Seeing how happily they were eating, Xia Yan really wanted to ask, "Is this just for the sake of holding a banquet?"

Renji Abarai took a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Natsuhiko, congratulations on turning thirty this year, and also to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our acquaintance."

Xia Yan met them in the spring when he was eleven years old, and it has been exactly twenty years since then.

"Thank you," Xia Yan said with a smile.

"Then we won't bother you anymore." Renji Abarai blinked, and he, Rukia, Kira, Izuru, Hinamori, and Momo also left their side.

Shiba Kaien walked over and said with a smile, "I just realized that you're only thirty years old. You really are a genius."

Xia Yan laughed and said, "I'm still far from it. There's a guy in Seireitei who's even more talented than me."

Shiba Kaien said with a smile, "You mean that little guy Hitsugaya Toshiro, right?"

“That’s right.” Xia Yan nodded. Hitsugaya Toshiro’s talent was beyond doubt.

There are only 32 years left until the start of the story, but in another 12 years, Shiba Isshin will go to the human world.

Within twelve years, Toshiro Hitsugaya will master Bankai, but even with Bankai, he may not be able to defeat Natsuhiko.

However, his talent is beyond doubt and is no less than mine.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" A voice came from nearby. Xia Yan turned his head and saw Hitsugaya Toshiro, who was half a head shorter than him, standing not far away.

Toshiro Hitsugaya is the only Shinigami shorter than himself. He always maintains the appearance of a nine-year-old and is only 1.33 meters tall, shorter than Rukia.

When Shiba Kaien saw him, he smiled and said, "We are praising you."

"Oh!"

Hitsugaya Toshiro responded coldly, slowly turned around and left to get something to eat.

Shiba Kaien said with a smile, "We'll go over there first."

Shiba Kaien and Shiba both left Natsuhiko's side, leaving only Soi Fon by his side at this time.

These people were very sensible and left the space for themselves.

Xia Yan looked at Soi Fon and asked curiously, "Where's Kotetsu Kiyone?"

Most of the members of the Women's Shinigami Association are here, including Matsumoto Rangiku and Kurotsuchi Nemuro, but only Kotetsu Kiyone is absent.

Soi Fon said, "She went to her previous life to stay and can't come back for the time being."

Xia Yan nodded, looked at Soi Fong, and suddenly reached out and grabbed her delicate hand, holding it in his palm.

"So many people."

Soi Fon blushed, but made no move to break free from his grasp.

Xia Yan said with a smile, "Do you think there's anyone who still doesn't know this?"

It was already common knowledge that Natsuhiko liked Soi Fon and that they attended the summer festival hand in hand.

Soi Fon blushed and said, "What do you know?"

Xia Yan grasped Soi Fon's hand and whispered, "Captain Soi Fon is my girlfriend."

Soi Fon rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who's your girlfriend?"

Looking at Soi Fon's beautiful face, Xia Yan said affectionately, "Whether you admit it or not, Captain Soi Fon, you are my girlfriend."

Soi Fon's face grew even rosier, and looking at her beautiful face, Natsuhiko couldn't help but lean in and kiss her lips.

Soi Fon's eyes widened. The two had held hands, but had only kissed once, on her cheek.

However, Soi Fon found no reason to resist and stood there, her body stiff and motionless.

"Hahaha, what are you doing?"

A voice rang in his ears, and Xia Yan felt himself enveloped by a figure. Looking up, he saw Kenpachi Zaraki's ugly face standing not far away.

Ikkaku Madarame, standing nearby, joked, "Natsuhiko, were you kissing just now? This pretty girl is, wow, Captain Soi Fon?"

Ikkaku Madarame noticed Soi Fon's murderous gaze and quickly shrank back.

Besides these two, Ayasegawa Yumichika was also among them. Including Yachiru, four people from the 11th Division had arrived, making it almost like their second division.

Kenpachi Zaraki looked around and asked, "I heard today is your thirtieth birthday. Very well, I will baptize you with a battle. Come on."

As Kenpachi Zaraki spoke, he drew his sword from his waist, grinned, and stared at Natsuhiko.

What's happening here?

Who put this thing in here? Whose birthday party will turn into a fight?

But just as Xia Yan was about to say something, Kusajishi Yachiru shouted, "Kiss, don't fight! Today is Xia Yan's birthday."

Kenpachi Zaraki looked at Yachiru Kusajishi and saw her with her hands on her hips and her eyes fixed on him. He touched his nose and said, "Never mind then. But kid, you must come and spar with me in a few days, or I'll tear down the Second Division barracks."

Kenpachi Zaraki made a few threats and then walked to the side.

Xia Yan sighed, while Soi Fon muttered irritably, "Why is this monster here too?"

Xia Yan didn't seem to care much. Kenpachi Zaraki's personality was quite interesting—simple and straightforward. Besides, Xia Yan was already very grateful to be able to attend the birthday party; he was the second captain after Soi Fon.

But at that moment, another figure appeared at the door. Xia Yan froze the moment he saw the person.

"Is this the place? Xia Yan, happy 30th birthday."

Aizen Sousuke looked at Natsuhiko with a broad smile.

Chapter 77: Aizen's Plan

Aizen Sousuke, what's he doing here?

Xia Yan was slightly taken aback when he saw Aizen. Thinking that he had almost been killed by the Hollow that Aizen had created, anger welled up in his heart.

Aizen asked with a smile, "Aren't you welcoming me?"

Xia Yan quickly suppressed his anger and put on a smiling face, saying, "No, I just didn't expect to invite Captain Aizen, and I didn't expect Captain Aizen to come."

Aizen maintained his calm demeanor and said, "It was Hinamori Momo who invited me; she said she hoped I could come here. If it seems abrupt, I can leave."

"No need, Captain Aizen, please come in."

Xia Yan knew that if he let the other party leave, there would be some consequences, so he welcomed Aizen inside.

As soon as Aizen stepped into the house, Hinamori Momo ran over and called out, "Captain Aizen, you really came!"

Aizen said with a smile, "Well, I had nothing to do, so I came here to meet Xia Yan."

Nothing better to do? Go play with your eggs, what are you doing here?

Xia Yan cursed inwardly, but smiled and said, "It is my honor to have Captain Aizen here."

The other captains and vice-captains treated Aizen very well, mainly because he usually presented a gentle and refined demeanor, and even until the very last moment before his betrayal, no one suspected him.

The first to notice something amiss was actually Retsu Unohana, the captain of the Fourth Division, who discovered it through Aizen's corpse.

Aizen quickly became close friends with others, but Natsuhiko couldn't understand why he had come to his banquet.

Although I had nothing to do, I didn't need to celebrate my birthday.

He must have a purpose, but what is it?

Xia Yan was completely baffled, his heart was racing, and he was extremely uneasy.

"What happened?" Soi Fon asked, standing next to Natsuhiko.

Xia Yan subconsciously looked at Aizen and found him looking at him. He nodded to him, turned around, and looked at Soi Fon, saying, "It's okay, Captain Soi Fon. What would you like to eat? I'll get it for you."

Xia Yan and Soi Fon went to the dessert area, took some cookies and cakes, walked to the balcony, leaned against the railing, and ate and chatted.

Xia Yan asked curiously, "Was this birthday party organized by Captain Soi Fon?"

Soi Fon laughed and said, "Wasn't it Kusajishi Yachiru's idea?"

Xia Yan shook his head and replied, "Kusashi Yachiru only offers ideas; he's definitely not the organizer. Besides, he has so many friends, all of whom I know well. Apart from Captain Soi Fon, no one else would be willing to do these things for me."

Soi Fon looked at Natsuhiko and said softly, "After all, you are my subordinate."

Xia Yan grabbed Soi Fon's hand and said, "Captain Soi Fon, is this all?"

Soi Fon blushed and glanced at Xia Yan, saying, "Of course, that's all. What else is there?"

"Of course it's my girlfriend."

Xia Yan reached out and hooked his finger into Soi Fong's palm. Her palm was warm and soft, and slightly damp.

Soi Fon snorted and said, "You're still a kid, how could I possibly be your girlfriend?"

Hearing this, Xia Yan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "So, Captain Soi Fon means that when I grow up, Captain Soi Fon will be willing to be my girlfriend?"
