Death: Captain Millennium

After venting her frustrations at Ōmaeda, Soi-Fong felt her frustrations ease a bit, but she still felt a bit of anger. So, she let her imagination run wild and began to wander around the squadron.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Soi-Fong suddenly found herself in a quiet bamboo forest. The forest seemed mysterious and tranquil, with tall, slender, emerald green bamboos. The breeze rustled the leaves, as if whispering a secret.

"Oh! How did I end up here?"

Soi-Fong couldn't help but murmur to herself. She raised her eyes and carefully took in her surroundings. Gradually, memories flooded back to her mind. This was where she and Yoruichi had first met!

Back then, Soi Fong was just an ordinary member of the Criminal Army. Frustrated by the many challenges and difficulties she encountered while training in Hakuto and Shunpo, she stumbled into this bamboo forest.

The moment she stepped into this place, Soi Fong was immediately captivated by the tranquility and undisturbed atmosphere. From then on, this place became her favorite place for training. Here, she could focus on improving her skills without any distractions.

On a sunny day, a gentle breeze rustled the emerald green bamboo leaves. As usual, Soi-Fong walked lightly into the familiar bamboo forest, ready to begin her daily white-knuckle training.

However, the moment she stepped into the bamboo forest, she couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise. This quiet place that usually belonged to her alone, someone else had already arrived!

Not far ahead, a figure darted through the bamboo forest at breakneck speed. Its form was as elusive as a ghost, leaving only a blurry afterimage in its wake. Drawing on years of training and keen insight, Soi-Fong instantly determined this person was a true master of Shunpo. Furthermore, judging by the movements and momentum of their attacks, their mastery of the white-clad technique was also quite profound.

Every time this person attacked, a dazzling blue light shone from her body, crackling and flashing like lightning. With each strike, a powerful and breathtaking aura swept over like a surging ocean wave, chilling the very air. Even Soi Fong, who always held herself in high esteem, was stunned.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Suddenly, a bone-chilling shout rang out in her ears, like the whistling of a biting wind. Soi-Fong was startled, and when she came to her senses, she was startled to realize that a mysterious figure had suddenly appeared beside her.

The mysterious man's instant steps were as fast as lightning, catching everyone off guard. At this moment, his hand turned into a sharp knife, which was firmly placed across Soi Bee's white neck. If she moved even a little, the knife would mercilessly cut her throat and take her life.

Still shaken, Soi-Fong carefully examined the uninvited guest. She was a seemingly young woman, yet the powerful aura she exuded was not to be underestimated.

The woman was dressed in a tight-fitting shinigami suit. The black garment seemed to blend in with the night, tightly wrapping her exquisitely shaped figure, perfectly outlining her graceful curves and showcasing her sexy charm. Although she was not wearing the haori that symbolized her captain's noble status.

With just one glance, Soi-Fong's sharp gaze instantly recognized the tall, heroic woman standing before her. This woman was none other than the captain of the Second Division, Yoruichi Shihouin, for whom she held in deepest respect and admiration.

"Lord Yoruichi!"

At this critical moment, Soi-Fong couldn't help but cry out loudly. Upon hearing her cry, Yoruichi Shihouin, who had been holding her knife against her neck, instantly retracted it as if by reflex.

"Houshao Ling, why are you here?"

Yoruichi Shihouin narrowed her eyes slightly and looked up and down at Soi Fong in front of her. At this time, Yoruichi Shihouin's tone was calm, but there was a hint of murderous intent in her voice.

"Master... Master Yaichi, I... I came here specifically to practice my Shunpo and Hakuba techniques."

At Yoruichi's question, Soi-Fong felt her heart pounding as if it were about to burst out of her throat. Her pretty face had already flushed red, like a ripe apple. Even her speech had become a little halting.

After saying this, Soi Fong lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Yoruichi's eyes.

"Are you here to practice as well? Haha, it seems you have quite a discerning eye! Look at this place, the environment is quiet and pleasant, very peaceful and tranquil, and there's no need to worry about being disturbed by others. I've been searching for a long time to find such a perfect place for practice. I originally thought I was the only one who liked this kind of place, but I didn't expect you to stumble upon it by chance as well."

Ye Yi suddenly smiled, her smile as bright and charming as a spring flower. Just now, she even suspected that someone had stolen her skills.

"Feng Shaoling, the youngest girl of the ninth generation of the lower-ranking noble Feng family. As far as I know, your five brothers have all died in the line of duty. Now you are the only remaining bloodline of the Feng family. Honestly, I'm quite curious. If that's the case, why did you insist on joining the criminal army?"

Yoruichi spoke like a machine gun, telling Soi Fong's past experiences one by one, as if she already knew her whole story.

"The people of the Bee family have loyally served the Shihouin family for generations. Although my brothers have sacrificed their lives, as long as I still have a breath left, I will inherit their unfinished will and continue to protect the Shihouin family without hesitation, protecting you, Master Yaichi! Even if the road ahead is extremely difficult and dangerous, I will never retreat!"

In response to Yoruichi's questioning, Soi Fong straightened her back, and her still young face revealed a fanatical expression, as if a raging fire was burning.

"Is protecting the Shihouin family and me so important? Your brothers have fulfilled the Bee family's oath. You shouldn't join the Xing army anymore."

Ye Yi sighed, feeling somewhat helpless and reluctant. She knew the Feng family's loyalty and fanaticism towards their family, but she had never expected this little girl to be so persistent, even to the point of being desperate.

"So I have to practice hard so that I can better protect the Shihouin family and Master Yoichi!"

Before Ye Yi could respond, she spoke next. Soi Fong's voice was crisp, as if every word was a vow bursting from the depths of her heart.

"However, the work of the criminal army is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you may pay the price with your life..."

Yoruichi was moved as she listened to Soi-Fong's words. This seemingly fragile little girl possessed such immense energy and determination.

"I'm not afraid! As long as I can protect the Shifengyuan family and you, I will do it even if it means my death!"

Soi Fong interrupted Yoruichi without hesitation, and then clenched her fists tightly.
