Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

"Kneel down, put your ugly face on the ground and apologize! Otherwise... you will die!" Yilong said word by word.

……

"I'm so sorry!"

By the time Jinnai reacted, his face was already pressed against the ground, and he no longer had any resentment left to support himself.

At this time, Yilong also stopped fighting, sheathed his sword, and walked towards the gate.

"I'm here to meet the head of the Xiadalu family. We have an appointment before, so there's no need to lead the way." Yilong said as he ignored Banzuo and walked over.

When passing by Ban Zuo, Yi Long paused, straightened his collar and whispered, "The robe is nice, but it's better than the rags of a stray dog. You should cherish it, right?"

Chapter 9 Ruri Chiyo

Facing Yilong's humiliation, Hanzuo still gritted his teeth and said, "I... Master Shifengyuan is teaching you a lesson."

Yilong then walked in and headed straight for the main hall without any more obstacles.

Ban Zuo, who didn't want to look at Yilong's smug back, unconsciously looked at the torn robe behind Zhennei.

If it were “back then”, even if the opponent was the “captain”, Ban Zuo would dare to call on his brothers to join him... and he might not be chosen!

But now...

After all, I put on the robe. Even if there were holes in it, I still had to glue it together myself with the blood!

……

When he arrived at the main hall, Ichiryu was delighted—Ruri Chiyo looked bored, but she was indeed here.

Her two loyal guards, the monkey Kawayusaburo and the dog Ryusei, were relieved to see Yilong, but also a little wary...

"Yes, you are indeed here." Yilong praised.

Liuli Chiyo, who is young and... has a height problem, rolled her eyes and said, "It's you... who insists that I walk around the various halls of the clan more often when I have nothing to do, and come to the main hall when I really have nothing to do. Anyway, I can't stay in my own residence?"

"Of course, otherwise how can we lead the Xiadaolu family in the future?" Yilong nodded with a smile.

"Lord Shifengyuan, was there any conflict outside just now?" Yuanlong asked with concern - he naturally felt the spiritual pressure that Yilong had just burst out.

"It's no big deal. I'm just helping Master Chiyo teach a lesson to the dog that bit its owner..." Yilong said, briefly explaining what had just happened.

It is not necessary to call "Ruri Chiyo" by her full name, just like Ichiryu's younger brother Ohmaeda, whose full name is "Maeda Nikko Tarou Emon Mishobu Kichiyo", but let alone calling him that, few people in the 13th Division can remember his full name.

……

“Hahaha… you just taught that guy a lesson? Well done!” Ruri Chiyo said, patting Yilong’s arm – because of his height, he couldn’t pat his shoulder.

Apparently, Ruri Chiyo herself is already very upset with Kumoi and his lackeys!

However, her two guards were obviously not so careless. Their expressions were a little frozen when they heard Yilong's words.

"Mr. Yilong, forgive me for being frank. Although I am grateful for your encouragement to Lord Chiyo, and thank you for your help to the head of the family and your restrictions on the head of the Yunjing family, but... you have never said from beginning to end how to deal with Yunjing, but you have been instigating Lord Chiyo to expand his influence. If this continues, wouldn't it be..." Yuanlong said worriedly.

The monkey Kawaki Ryu Saburo, also known as "The Monkey Dragon", is Rurichiyo's loyal bodyguard.

"That's wrong. Chiyo is the head of the family. No matter what the steward does, what's wrong with increasing his influence?" Yilong said as a matter of course.

The younger Inu Long, also known as Inuzaki Liu Sheng, could not help but speak out: "Don't avoid the important issues! It was you who proposed the house master system to that guy Yun Jing and assisted him in undermining Chiyo-sama, right?"

"No, not at all... I just saw that Chiyo was indeed too young back then, and I didn't want Yun Jing to have any disputes with her, so I proposed the family head system to him. This was entirely to allow him to assist Chiyo with confidence, and also to ensure a smooth transition of power in the Kasumigaoji family in the future...

"I just never expected that I would actually encourage his ambition! In recent years, I found that he had no intention of supporting the grown-up Chiyo, so I have already drawn a clear line between us, right?" Yilong's reasons were very sufficient and plausible.

"But..." The dog dragon wanted to say something else, but was stopped by the older ape dragon.

At the same time, Yilong continued, "And the family rule at least made Yunjing put his ambitions on the table. At the same time, over the years, he did not do anything to harm Chiyo. Otherwise, if there really was a fight with swords and sabers, the Kasumigaoji family would definitely suffer a heavy blow, and the head of the Chiyo family would also be in danger... At least I avoided this, didn't I?"

Hearing this, the dog dragon was not convinced, but...

I don’t know how to refute it!

Liu Li Chiyo said calmly, "I know, I know. You are amazing, okay? But... are you sure that the marriage that guy arranged for me won't be successful? I don't want to see your cousin every day."

As she spoke, the disgust on Liuli Chiyo's face was already evident.

"Of course, you are the head of the Kasumigaoji family. Who you want to marry... ahem, who you want to marry is entirely up to your own wishes." Yilong said confidently, as if he didn't care at all about the collusion between Yunjing and the Shifengyuan family.

"Really? You'd better promise it!" Liuli Chiyo said with a "naughty" smile, as if she already believed that Yilong could ruin the matter.

but……

Yuan Long still asked: "Mr. Yilong! Although Master Chiyo has never asked, but... you should also reveal something about how to take it back from Yunjing..."

Yilong took two steps closer, and when Yuanlong saw this, he stopped talking, and whispered, "Since you really want to know, I'll remind you..."

Suddenly, the attention of the ape dragon and the dog dragon was all focused on it.

but……

Ruri Chiyo herself was still there, thinking about something, and occasionally smiling. Yilong even suspected that she had already made up her mind to start a harem... She had no doubt at all about the "plan" that Yilong had never revealed. She might be small in stature, but she had a big heart!

Under the nervous gaze of the Ape Dragon and the Dog Dragon, Yilong said solemnly: "It's actually very simple, just four words... Wait for the enemy to collapse on their own!"

Simian dragon, dog dragon: ...

Inulong's face was full of an expression of "being fooled again", but Yuanlong had already stopped him in advance and said to Yilong: "So that's it, it's us who didn't understand Master Yilong's wisdom, then... please!"

Yuanlong is already "convinced" that Yilong does not want to tell him the plan, and even doubts the truthfulness of Yilong's words "taking back the Kasumigaoji family from Yunjing".

But... he tentatively believed that Yilong really wanted to help Liuli Chiyo, and at least the current engagement issue should be able to be turned around.

Based on his understanding of Yilong's methods and character...

Tomorrow Yunjing suddenly announced that the head of the family’s fiancé was Shifengyuan Ichiryu himself - Yuanlong would not find it strange!

At least... Lady Liuli Chiyo doesn't seem to be as resistant to Yilong as she is to that dude?

"Are you leaving now? When will you come back to play?" Ruri Chiyo asked unhappily when she saw Yilong saying goodbye.

"Well, I still have to go to the Awanmen family. As for next time... I think next time, Master Xiadalu can see me in Room 46." Yilong said mysteriously.

Upon hearing this, the Ape Dragon and the Dog Dragon immediately became nervous - they didn't know whether Yilong was talking nonsense again or he really had some plan!

However, Liu Li Chiyo didn't take the second half of the sentence full of hints to heart. Instead, when she heard the first half, she wrinkled her nose and said, "Go find that little girl? I heard... she seems to be locked up again! She spends more time in the confessional than outside in a year..."

Chapter 10 Awanmen

After visiting the Kasumigaoji family and reassuring his "allies", it was already evening when Ichiryu came to the Amanmon family's land in the Soul Society...

Amanmon is also an upper-class noble family in Seireitei, but they have "no successor" and the head of the family is an "old stubborn" type.

Because he was dissatisfied with the ideas of his only daughter, Avanmena Yura, he not only often reprimanded her, but also took into account the seats of the "Gold Seal Noble Council" and the "Mao Forty-Six Chambers", and did not ask for anything from anyone. In the Forty-Six Chambers, he was also one of the six judges. (Note 1)

However, unlike the Kasumidaru family, although the Awanmon family is now very dissatisfied with its daughter who has reformist ideas and even has the idea of ​​changing the heir, overall, it is still very stable!

There have indeed been some "changes" recently, but they are all under the control of the "old stubborn people"!

The original inheritance system of the Awanmen family determined that Awanmen Nayula, the only direct descendant of the main family and the only daughter of the head of the family, was the only legal heir. The branch family could only watch honestly, and at most fanned the wind and stirred up the "old stubborn"...

But because Nayula has been here for nearly two years, her ideas are too "radical" - at least that's what the "old stubborn" thinks.

Therefore, the branch family also took the opportunity to instigate, causing Nayula to suffer a lot in the past two years. The "old stubborn man" also had the idea of ​​marrying Nayula off and adopting the branch family's son as the legitimate wife...

This time in the Qingjing Tajulin, the "old stubborn man" plans to discuss this matter with other noble parents, and will wait until enough consensus is reached before bringing it up at the "Golden Seal Noble Council".

After all, the attitude of Nayora's maternal nobles is also involved...

As a result, before leaving, Nayula "willfully" wanted to stop her father from going, which made the "old stubborn man" think that she had guessed something and dared to stop him under the excuse of "feeling dangerous", so he put her in solitary confinement again, which made Yi Di's determination even stronger!

Especially since she even had to complain to the head of the Shihouin family - it was after she had more contact with Ichiryuu that Nayura became more and more rebellious, and even said something as ridiculous as "cancel the isolation between Yuhungai and the nobles".

He couldn't keep this daughter, otherwise he would be implicated and become the "shame of the nobility"!

Naturally, someone is also an unwelcome object in Awanmen's family.

……

Because it is the will of the head of the family, the methods that Yilong used before in the Xiadaolu family will definitely not work here.

Otherwise, if it turns into a purely violent confrontation, it will be troublesome for Yilong.

Therefore...

Yilong did not go through the main gate at all, but used a kind of rope-binding path that had been set up in the corner of the outer wall of his clan's territory and sneaked in directly!

Yilong seemed to have done similar things many times before and was very skilled at it...

This time Yilong did not go to the main hall, but walked further and further away!

During the whole process, they did not trigger the clan's barrier or alarm any guards, and finally arrived at the "confessional" in a secluded corner.

After Yilong deliberately made some noises, a somewhat childish female voice came from the confessional...

"Who?" Nayora immediately shouted.

"You can't confess like this. You're not paying attention at all!" Yilong pushed the door open and walked in while making the first complaint.

After discovering that it was Yilong, Nayura calmed down instead. She continued to kneel in front of the huge word "sin" on the wall without looking back.

"Let me guess, was you punished because you stopped your father from going to Room 46 without reason?" Yilong said "guess", but his tone was very firm.

"This is not without reason..." Nayora immediately became angry when she heard this.

Seeing that Yilong didn't answer, Nayora asked bluntly: "Recently... something will happen in Room 46, right?"

"Eh? What's the matter?" Yilong looked puzzled.

But Nayura didn't believe his performance at all - she had thought much more about this aspect than Ruri Chiyo, and she thought she knew Yilong better...

"Your attitude recently... no, it should be said that since you approached me two years ago, you have been... waiting for the day when Room 46 is no longer a concern! Recently... it gives me a feeling that Room 46 has all been destroyed!" Nayura said it directly with righteous words.

"You don't think I will take action against Room 46, do you? Even the captain-in-chief whom I respect the most wouldn't dare to do such a thing." Yilong said as a matter of course.

"Will my father... die?" Nayula asked seriously without caring about Yilong's logic.

"Yes." Yilong said with certainty.

Just when Nayura couldn't help it and turned her head to glare at him.

Yilong continued, "The ancestors of the five nobles were all contemporaries of the Spirit King. Aren't they all dead now? Except for the Spirit King, no one is immortal."

"You know that's not what I'm talking about!" Nayula could no longer tolerate Yilong's evasive behavior, and she stood up and faced Yilong.

This height...

No wonder even Ruri Chiyo can call her “little one”.

"When will a person die...

"Is it when someone poured mercury into my ears? No...

"When I was being eaten by a Hollow and pierced by my Zanpakutō? No...

"When you gouged out his eyes and poured copper liquid on him? That's not right...

"When I drank the mushroom soup you cooked? Of course not.

"But when they are forgotten by the world... If the rotten smell lingering in the Forty-Six Rooms disappears, I think those 'him' are really dead, right?

"But I guess that must be when Soul Society is revitalized."

Yilong has another long paragraph of parallelism that is incomprehensible but impressive, but...

"I'm not discussing the philosophy of life and death with you! And... why is the mushroom soup I cooked in it!" Nayura couldn't help but complain.

"No, believe me, that is the closest to death." Yilong said as a matter of course.

"Are you trying to use me?" Nayora ignored his jokes and asked seriously and directly.

"If the relationship between people must be distinguished between [utilization] and [being utilized], I think I am the one being utilized. After all, it was you who wanted to reform Room 46. When you first had this idea, we didn't even know each other, and I was just teaching you how to achieve your goal." Yilong said righteously.

What Yilong said was indeed the truth, and Nayura couldn't help but be silent for a while...
