Death: Captain Millennium

The return journey always seemed exceptionally short, as if time had been compressed. Before long, Lin Yu had successfully returned to Soul Society.

"This monk is really thoughtful. He actually sent me back to where I came from with such precision."

As the hatch slowly opened, Lin Yu was stunned by the scene in front of him. He was surprised to find that the landing position of the Tianzhu chariot was exactly where the huge fireworks cannon of the Shiba family was.

"Oh, I thought you were dead!"

A clear female voice came, with a hint of teasing and relief. Lin Yu looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shiba Kūkaku standing not far away, arms folded, looking at him with a playful expression. Obviously, she was relieved to see Lin Yu return safely, but she was not forgiving.

"Tsk, how could I possibly die so easily? The person who can put me to death has probably not been born yet!"

Hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but rolled his eyes and spoke unhappily.

"How shameless of you! Don't you know that not long after the launch of the Tenju Chariot, a devastating explosion occurred. Countless fragments rained down like raindrops across every corner of Soul Society, even causing a huge uproar! According to common sense, you would have been blown to pieces and reduced to ashes! Who would have thought that you were so resilient that you could actually come back alive?"

Shiba Kūkaku didn't buy it and took a deep puff of his pipe to calm himself down.

"Oh my, this is so embarrassing! Did you know that that old, relic-like Tianzhu chariot exploded? But don't worry, I went to great lengths to get you a brand new one. Consider it compensation to the Shiba family!"

As Lin Yu spoke, he gently patted the brand new Tianzhu chariot in front of him, with a satisfied smile on his face.

This new Tianzhu chariot was truly extraordinary, both in terms of exterior design and internal structure. When Lin Yu had just returned from riding it, he had barely felt any vibrations. It was so stable that it felt as comfortable as sitting in his own living room.

"Haha, if that's the case, then I'll accept your offer without hesitation! Trading this antique for a brand new one is a fantastic deal for me! But then again, I'm incredibly curious. Where on earth did you get such a precious Heavenly Pillar Chariot?"

Shiba Kūkaku was so delighted that he circled around the new celestial chariot, like a miser seeing gold.

"Hehe, if I say that I stole this Heavenly Pillar Chariot from Squad Zero, would you believe it?"

Hearing Kong He's question, Lin Yu's eyes rolled and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He stared at Kong He with a smirk on his face, as if wanting to see her reaction.

"Rob? Are you kidding me! Are those guys in Squad Zero all vegetarians, watching you snatch their treasures and doing nothing? Or... did you just overturn the entire Soul King Palace?"

Kong He rolled his eyes at Lin Yu, not believing his nonsense at all. After all, if they wanted to snatch something from Squad Zero, they would probably be asleep.

"Tsk! No one can stop me if I want to steal it. To tell you the truth, this Tianzhu Chariot was given to me by Squad Zero."

Seeing that he couldn't scare Kong He, Lin Yu honestly told him the origin of the Tianzhu Chariot.

"Captain Lin Yu has a really wide network of contacts! Even Team Zero has your friends, and they generously gave you a Tianzhu Chariot."

Shiba Kūkaku became more and more curious about Lin Yu. This old man actually had such a big status that even the members of Squad Zero gave him face. You know, those guys think very highly of themselves and they wouldn't even look up to ordinary captains, let alone have any interactions with them.

"I'll be quick. I need to hurry back to Seireitei and bring Renji here. That guy from Squad Zero made it clear that if a Zanpakutō is to be reforged, its owner must be present! I might have to trouble you to take me up there again later."

Lin Yu spoke very quickly, and before he finished speaking, he had disappeared from the spot like a gust of wind, leaving only a string of dust slowly falling in the air.

First Team

"Renji! Renji! Where the hell have you been?!"

After a while, Lin Yu rushed back to the First Brigade's base like lightning. Before he even stepped through the gate, his rough and unrestrained voice exploded like thunder. These roars shook the surrounding windows, as if they would be shattered by the sound waves at any moment.

"Teacher! Are you back?"

However, no matter how Lin Yu shouted, Renci never showed up. Instead, Rukia rushed out in a panic. She was out of breath, beads of sweat on her forehead, and her voice was a little slurred.

"you……?"

Lin Yu took a closer look and thought he was hallucinating. The Rukia in front of him was no longer as fresh and lovely as before.

Her iconic onion-like hairstyle had turned into a messy afro, and her originally fair and delicate face was now covered with bruises and redness, obviously having been beaten. The death suit she was wearing was even more tattered, with large and small cracks and stains all over it. She was simply a living little beggar.

"Who is so bold as to attack you? This is simply lawless! Someone dares to attack my disciple Lin Yu. Is this person tired of living?"

Lin Yu looked at Rukia, who looked a little miserable and pitiful, with an angry face. Seeing his beloved disciple in such a state, Lin Yu was furious. Without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves, looking aggressive and ready to rush out and fight with others at any time.

"It was me who did it. What? Are you dissatisfied with this?"

At this moment, a calm yet somewhat majestic voice came from behind Lin Yu.

"Captain...Captain! Oh my, so you're the one who's personally teaching this girl a lesson! That's quite fitting! Well done! Brilliant! Awesome!"

When Lin Yu heard the voice, his furious body trembled violently, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe, and he instantly sobered up. He slowly turned his head, and when he saw who it was, the furious expression on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a flattering smile.

As Lin Yu spoke, he nodded and bowed, his servile appearance forming a sharp contrast with his previous anger.

If someone saw his completely different performance at this moment, they would probably sigh that this guy changes his face faster than turning the pages of a book. It would be a pity not to learn Sichuan Opera face-changing!
