Death: Captain Millennium

"I'm such a fool! Uncle, you're only a few hundred years old, how could you have a wine that's been stored away for a thousand years? I'm so stupid that I didn't even think of this!"

Rukia was in tears, tears streaming down her fair and delicate cheeks.

She kept blaming herself, her regret was beyond words, and she was completely immersed in deep remorse and unable to extricate herself.

Rukia covered her face with her hands, her body trembling slightly, and her appearance was so heartbreaking.

Xianghe had a smug expression on his face, as if he was very satisfied with his way of diverting the trouble.

"Why do you think I came back so quickly? To tell you the truth, this wine was hidden by Master in the Eighth Division. The Eighth Division was the first division Master was in after he was born."

"It was also the place where he and his mistress met, got to know each other, and fell in love, and experienced countless wonderful times together!"

"According to my understanding, this batch of fine wine was specially reserved by Master for use in a future ceremony with Master's Wife. There wasn't much left to begin with."

"Now, look what you've done! You've actually drunk a whole jar of it! If Master gets to know about this, will he let you off so easily? I'm afraid by then, he'll definitely not let you off easily, even if he doesn't peel off a layer of your skin!"

Having said that, Xianghe couldn't help but laugh even louder, and even deliberately made some exaggerated and frightening movements, trying to further deepen Rukia's inner fear.

"Uncle! You are such a dog!"

Thousands of words were condensed into one sentence, and facing Xianghe's shameless behavior, Rukia said it with gritted teeth.

At this moment, she was extremely sad and angry, but she was helpless about the current situation.

After all, he had already drunk the whole jar of wine, and no amount of argument could change that fact.

After Rukia repeatedly assured Lin Yu that she would not tell him about stealing the wine, Xianghe happily saw her off.

Lingwang Dainai

"At the critical moment, the apprentice is still the best!"

Lin Yu sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, his body enveloped by a layer of faint light, like an immortal descending to the earth.

Rukia was holding a huge jar of wine obediently and sitting quietly next to Lin Yu.

She glanced at Lin Yu from time to time, as if she had something to say but didn't know how to start.

Seeing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He picked up the wine jar casually, tilted his head back and took a big gulp.

The cool and mellow wine slid down his throat into his stomach, instantly making him feel refreshed.

He had been out of food for several days, and now he could drink the wine he had been longing for again, which was as intoxicating as a refreshing rain after a long drought.

"You haven't gotten into any trouble lately, have you?"

When Lin Yu was drinking happily, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Rukia who had been silent.

Normally, his unfortunate disciple was like a monkey, never quiet for a moment, but today he was acting out of character and sitting here so quietly, which really made people feel a little strange.

Could it be that the sun really rises from the west?

"Teacher! I..."

Rukia stopped talking as soon as she opened her mouth, as if she had something to hide.

Seeing Rukia hesitant to speak, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He knew very well that if his unfortunate disciple could remain idle, it would be a miracle.

He must have gotten into some trouble again, and he's now wondering how to explain it to me.

"I knew it! You're like a jerk! Tell me, what trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?"

He deliberately put on a stern face and pretended to be serious.

"Teacher... I hid you in the 8th Division's thousand-year-old wine..."

Rukia's face was as pale as paper, her hands tightly clutched the corners of her clothes, and she was struggling fiercely in her heart.

This matter has been like a heavy rock weighing on her heart for a long time, and every minute and every second has been tormenting her.

After hesitating for a long time, she decided to tell the truth. Rather than continue to hide it and be discovered by Lin Yu in the end, it is better to confess now and die early and be reborn early.

"How many jars did you drink?"

Lin Yu's voice was as cold as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell, and the anger contained in it made people shudder.

This sound was even colder than the crisp sound of the star chains colliding with each other. A terrifying murderous aura surged out of his body and quickly spread around.

Hearing the teacher's question, Rukia couldn't help but shudder, beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, and her originally straight spine bent slightly.

She stretched out a finger tremblingly: "A, a jar...but, teacher, but that...!"

Rukia was so nervous that she even stuttered when she spoke.

She suddenly remembered Xianghe's sinister warning before leaving - "If you dare to tell others about my drinking, I will not only spread the news of you wetting the bed while drunk throughout the Soul Society, but also tell Master that you secretly drank his thousand-year-old treasure."

Thinking of this, Rukia shuddered and closed her mouth involuntarily.

Just as Rukia closed her eyes, waiting fearfully for the teacher to fly into a rage and impose severe punishment, she unexpectedly heard the sound of wine pouring in her ears.

"Come, try this wine."

Lin Yu's voice was gentle. The chain on his right hand had disappeared without him noticing, and his palm was holding a beautiful wine glass made of starlight.

"This is the laurel wine brewed by your master's wife herself."

Lin Yu said as he turned his gaze towards Rukia.

Rukia raised her head tremblingly, and when she saw Lin Yu slowly pouring the remaining half jar of wine into the Xinghui cup, she suddenly felt curious.

The moment the wine touched the wall of the glass, the wine in the glass turned into a clear picture - that was the scene of the Seventh Division.

In the picture, the cherry blossoms flying all over the sky were falling like snow, which was a beautiful sight. And that day was also the first day that Rukia officially followed Lin Yu to learn the art of killing.

"Do you remember? Back then, you foolishly asked me why I had to practice the knife-holding posture over and over again..."

Lin Yu smiled softly, recalling the past, a hint of nostalgia appeared on his face.

He stretched out his slender fingertips and flicked them lightly, and the scene in the Starlight Cup changed, switching to the scene of Rukia practicing hard with a sword.

Looking at her youthful self in the picture, Rukia blushed slightly and seemed a little embarrassed.

"Look at you now! You've even dared to secretly drink my wedding wine behind my back! You're really getting bolder!"

Lin Yu said this in feigned anger, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a doting look.

Rukia was stunned when she heard this, and then she couldn't help but burst out laughing as if her funny spot had been tickled.

The laughter was like a spring breeze, blowing away the tense atmosphere in the air.

"Teacher, I know I was wrong!"

Rukia's nose suddenly felt sore, and her eyes gradually turned red. Tears as big as beans began to roll down uncontrollably, one drop after another falling to the ground, splashing small water droplets.

"Wuwuwu... Teacher, it's all my fault. Please punish me severely! Whether it's hanging me up and beating me, or putting me in solitary confinement, as long as it can make you calm down, I will accept it willingly!"

Rukia sobbed and cried intermittently.
