Death God: Unrivaled in sharpness, the greatest captain of all time!

“No, you’re wrong.” Chiyo Kuchiki shook her head. “I almost died, and my friend died too.”

Chiyo Kuchiki's tone was low.

Although he didn't want to recall this failure, the facts were undeniable, and he couldn't escape them.

"I'm sorry..." Lin Aoxue bit her red lips, looked at Kuchiki Chiyo's profile, and said softly, "It's all because of me."

“You don’t need to apologize to me. If I were in your shoes, I would have made the same choice as you.” Chiya Kuchiki turned to look at Lin Aoxue and said, “Aoxue, if you really realize your mistake, then I can forgive you.”

After a pause, Chiya Kuchiki added, "We are all men, and we understand the difficulties men face."

He said "understanding men's predicaments," not "understanding women's predicaments," and there's quite a difference between the two.

"Actually, I also have many difficulties," Lin Aoxue said.

She was an extremely intelligent girl who could deduce what had happened to Chiyo Kuchiki from certain clues.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Chiya Kuchiki grasped Lin Aoxue's hand and said, "No matter what, this time, I will definitely find the answer."

"Don't you already have the answer?" Lin Aoxue said.

She looked at Chiyo Kuchiki, her eyes filled with deep concern.

“I know what I’m thinking,” Chiyo Kuchiki said. “However, I can’t tell you yet, because…”

633 Lin Aoxue reached out and pressed her hand against Kuchiki Chiya's mouth, stopping him from continuing: "I understand."

"It's good that you understand me." Chiya Kuchiki nodded slightly. "Ao Xue, I hope we can resolve this trouble smoothly so you can relax a bit and stop frowning all the time."

Lin Aoxue's brows were indeed rarely relaxed.

She nodded: "Okay, once this storm passes, I can finally put down this burden."

Upon hearing this, Chiyo Kuchiki smiled and patted Lin Aoxue on the shoulder: "You can finally take a vacation."

"Well, I'd like to go home to visit my family during the summer vacation." Lin Aoxue sighed softly, then asked, "Kuchiki Chiya, when are you leaving?"

Chapter 288 Staying for Two or Three Years

"I'll leave after I'm done with this busy period," Chiyo Kuchiki said. "This time, I estimate I'll stay for at least two or three years."

"Two or three years." Hearing this, Lin Aoxue was somewhat surprised and asked, "Why do you want to stay for so long?"

“Because there are many things to deal with.” Chiyo Kuchiki smiled faintly. “This trip to Xizhou has allowed me to thoroughly understand the situation in Atlantis. The dark side that Lancelot has shown over the years is simply shocking.”

"Are you ready to take revenge?" Lin Aoxue asked.

"I will collect every single debt owed to me over the years." A cold glint flashed in Chiyo Kuchiki's eyes. "Even if I don't lift a finger, those who owe me money will obediently hand it over to me!"

Just then, Chiyo Kuchiki's phone rang; it was Zhang Feiran calling.

This strong woman seemed somewhat hesitant.

Chiya Kuchiki smiled and said, "What's wrong? You're not going to be sad to see me leave, are you?"

“What I mean is…” Zhang Feiran carefully chose her words, “I think it would be best if I didn’t get involved.”

"What's wrong with you?" Chiyo Kuchiki immediately sensed something unusual.

“My father is sick,” Zhang Feiran said softly. “After his treatment at the hospital, he was still unconscious and in a coma.”

"What?" Chiyo Kuchiki immediately tensed up upon hearing this. "Is it serious? What exactly is the situation?"

Zhang Feiran said, "The doctor said... my dad has late-stage brain cancer and may not last much longer."

Although she tried her best to control her emotions, her voice had already become choked with sobs.

“I’ll head over there tomorrow.” Chiya Kuchiki immediately stood up. “Don’t get excited. Calm down. I’ll arrive in Europe tomorrow.”

"You..." Zhang Feiran hesitated, "You didn't need to come all this way..."

This stubborn young woman, who is usually decisive and efficient, appeared much weaker and more helpless at this moment.

Chiya Kuchiki smiled and said, "No, since your father is sick and hospitalized, of course I should go and see him."

"Alright, I'll send a car to pick you up," Zhang Feiran said, and then hung up.

This conversation gave Chiyo Kuchiki a very strange feeling.

This feeling is like—before parents pass away, what they can't let go of most is their children.

Chiya Kuchiki originally wanted to ask Lin Aoxue whether she should accompany him, but Lin Aoxue said, "You rest first, I'll go buy you some food, you must be starving after such a bumpy journey."

After saying that, she got up and left the bedroom.

“This girl.” Chiyo Kuchiki shook her head with a smile, then picked up her phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, General Kegis, it's me, Chiyo Kuchiki." Chiyo Kuchiki said, "I've come to say goodbye. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to see me now?"

"Heh, Chiya Kuchiki, you're just using the excuse of saying goodbye to freeload at my place, aren't you?" Kegis mocked without any politeness.

"Haha, it's been almost a year since we last met, and you're still as humorous as ever." Chiya Kuchiki laughed heartily. "I'm currently at my villa on the outskirts of Ninghai City. When are you free, sir? Let's meet up and have a casual meal together."

“Okay, I’m coming over now.” Kegis said, coughing a few times, and then added, “By the way, I only found out today that you have such a beautiful girlfriend in China.”

"Ahem... General..." Chiya Kuchiki scratched his head awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

“I’m still in Nanjiang right now, otherwise I would have come here to see you long ago,” Kegis said. “I still prefer Chinese food. Your Chinese cuisine is so profound and sophisticated that I’m almost falling in love with it.”

Chiya Kuchiki laughed and said, "Alright, General Kegis, I brought a lot of fresh seafood this time, waiting for you to try it."

“I can’t wait to go,” Kegis said. “By the way, your house is nice, I really like it. I’ll buy one someday, so as not to disappoint you.”

Chapter 289 I'm afraid you won't be used to living here

“This house is too big, I’m afraid you won’t be used to it.” Chiya Kuchiki grinned. “After all, we’re enemies on the battlefield.”

"No, no, I really like the decor here. Let's leave it at that, see you tonight."

Kages hung up.

Chiyo Kuchiki looked at the number on the screen, smiled, and shook her head: "This general is quite the character."

Afterwards, he lay on the bed, closed his eyes, carefully recalled Bai Chengbi's moves, and gradually fell asleep.

Perhaps because she was too tired from all the commotion last night, Chiya Kuchiki slept straight through until 5 p.m., only waking up when her stomach started growling.

Lin Aoxue wasn't home. After washing up, Kuchiki Chiya came out of his room and looked at the sumptuous meal on the table. He asked, "When did you make this?"

"I just made four steaks," Lin Aoxue said. "Try them, see if they suit your taste?"

"Your cooking skills are getting better and better." Chiyo Kuchiki sat at the dining table and looked at the steak on the plate: "It's golden brown and smells amazing. This can definitely be called perfect."

Chiyo Kuchiki took a bite, chewed a few times, and praised, "Truly worthy of being the masterpiece of a top international chef, it's several levels above the work of our Chinese chefs."

He paused for a moment, took another sip of soup, and said with emotion, "Actually, I've always wanted to meet with General Xing, but now I'm afraid all that's left is regret."

Chiyo Kuchiki did not mention that she and Aoxue were going to visit her father.

He couldn't bear to tell her his decision, couldn't bear to see Lin Aoxue cry, and couldn't bear to see her sad.

"Kuchiki Chiya, you're still thinking about reuniting with the General Star at a time like this? Have you forgotten your mission?" Lin Aoxue said, "I can't predict how long it will take you to escape from the Western Dark World, if you insist on going to the West..."

Chiya Kuchiki glanced at Lin Aoxue and said with a wry smile, "Actually, Aoxue, if possible, I really hope you can come with me. After all, I'm worried about you, but..."

"I understand." A blush crept across Lin Aoxue's pretty face. "I know what you want to say, and you understand my feelings. I won't hold you back. I'll take good care of myself and wait for you to come back."

Upon hearing this, Chiya Kuchiki smiled with relief: "Thank you, Aoyuki."

This "thank you" comes from the bottom of my heart.

"So, when are you leaving?" Lin Aoxue asked.

"Let's resolve all the troubles before we leave," Chiyo Kuchiki said. "After all, I promised you I would bring complete peace to the dark world."

"Yes, I believe you." Lin Aoxue nodded slightly, her eyes gentle, as if they could drip water.

Chiya Kuchiki reached out and took Lin Aoxue's slender hand, then gazed intently at her and said, "Aoxue, take good care of yourself while I'm gone."

"You need to be careful. There are always some dangers in this world. Even if you are a master of martial arts, you may not be able to defend against them all."

"Don't worry, Aoxue, I will do my best to ensure my safety."

"However, if you really need any help, you can contact me anytime, and I will do my best to assist you."

"Aoxue, thank you for believing in me. I will always remember your kindness and never forget it in my lifetime," said Kuchiki Chiya.

Having lived together for so long, their relationship had become increasingly harmonious, and Lin Aoxue had finally found a state of being in love.

“Kushiki Chiya…” Lin Aoxue held Kuchiki Chiya’s wrist: “I really hope that we can stay like this forever, never be separated, and never have so many hardships.”

"Yes, Ao Xue." Kuchiki Chiya gently patted the other's shoulder.

Both the man and the woman knew the truth hidden behind those words, but neither of them dared to reveal it, because the outcome was far too pessimistic.

"Get ready, we're leaving now," Lin Aoxue said. "Go pack your things, I'll call the driver to take us."

…………

"This hotel is twenty kilometers from here; it'll take me an hour to drive there." Chiyo Kuchiki glanced at her watch. "I'll drop you off here first, then I'll head straight to the hotel to find you."

Chapter 290 You Don't Need to Worry About Me

"Don't worry about me, I'll take good care of myself," Lin Aoxue said, handing her bag to Kuchiki Chiya.

"Mm." Chiya Kuchiki nodded, then lowered his head and gently kissed Lin Aoxue's forehead, saying, "Aoxue, wait for me to come back."

"Mmm," Lin Aoxue responded softly, her eyes sparkling.
