"Help, help…"
The golden-haired loli shouted in a panic, her voice was very pleasant, and based on her appearance, she should be between twelve and thirteen years old, slightly shorter than Hinamori Momo.
Lin Feng was a little strange, how could this gorgeously dressed noble lady be alone? Logically speaking, shouldn't she be accompanied by a large group of retainers? And how could tigers appear in Seireitei?
Because he didn't immediately think of the original storyline of the Shinigami, Lin Feng didn't realize that this golden-haired loli was Ruri Chiyo of the Kasumioji.
And that tiger was placed there by the old thief Yun Jing.
Roar~
The tiger opened its bloody mouth, and just as it was about to pounce on the girl.
"Hmph…"
Lin Feng glared, and scarlet pupils erupted with amazing power.
The air above the tiger suddenly became extremely heavy, and under the immense pressure like a mountain, the fierce tiger didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry before it was crushed into a pile of 爛泥.
"Help! This young lady is about to be eaten!"
Even though the tiger was killed by Lin Feng's gaze, Ruri Chiyo was still running tirelessly in her wooden clogs.
The sleeves of her kimono fluttered in the air, and her golden hair danced behind her, making her look very cute.
When the golden-haired loli saw Lin Feng, she seemed to see a life-saving straw, and crashed straight into his arms.
Xiao Omim, seeing the inexplicable woman running over, took the initiative to stand out.
But with a loud bang, the two little lolis collided.
Although Omim's body was smaller, as a loli matured by the Hogyoku, her body was very strong.
Don't underestimate her small arms and legs, but her strength had already reached the level of an average adult.
Xiao Omim's body only shook slightly.
Ruri Chiyo was not so lucky, under the huge reaction force, she was knocked to the ground with a bang.
"Ugh… It hurts…"
After Ruri Chiyo fell to the ground, a big bump appeared on her head, her eyes turned into mosquito coil shapes, and she only felt that everything around her was spinning.
Lin Feng looked at this petite noble lady and felt that she looked very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
Xiao Omim looked at the other party expressionlessly.
"Are you okay?"
Although he didn't know the other party's identity, Lin Feng still squatted down and took the initiative to extend his hand to the golden-haired lady.
"Ah… Tiger… Tiger…"
Ruri Chiyo only remembered that she was being chased, so she stood up abruptly and threw herself into Lin Feng's arms.
The little loli's body was soft and had a unique fragrance.
"Alright, the tiger behind you has already been taken care of."
Lin Feng patted the little loli's back to comfort her.
"Ah… Is that so…"
Ruri Chiyo turned her head and only saw a pile of minced meat on the ground, which was completely different from the fierce appearance just now.
"Yay, I'm finally saved."
The little loli, who had survived a desperate situation, cheered and took the initiative to hug Lin Feng's neck with both hands.
The two were almost face to face, Ruri Chiyo had golden hair, blue eyes, and delicate features, she was simply like a doll.
The bright smile on her face was full of youthful vitality.
"Hmph, you should thank Lin Feng-sama for saving you."
Xiao Omim said with a cold face.
After being splashed with a basin of cold water, Ruri Chiyo calmed down and realized that her performance was not ladylike at all, and immediately jumped out of Lin Feng's arms in a panic with a blushing face.
The golden-haired loli tidied up her kimono and looked curiously at Lin Feng, who was wearing a captain's white haori and had an overly handsome face.
"You should be a Soul Reaper, thank you very much for your help, my name is Kasumioji Ruri Chiyo."
"If you need any help, please come to the Kasumioji. "
Ruri Chiyo was wearing a cherry-colored kimono and a green hairpin on her head.
When she bowed slightly to Lin Feng, her demeanor was very aristocratic.
"What a cute little girl. My name is Lin Feng, captain of the Eleventh Division, and she is my adopted sister, Omim."
Lin Feng introduced himself and Xiao Omim.
"Hello," Omim said sparingly.
"You are the legendary captain of the Eleventh Division? Even more handsome than the rumors say."
Ruri Chiyo had heard of the heroic deeds of the new captain of the Eleventh Division, who had thwarted Zhi Cheng's attempt to subvert the three worlds.
In addition, girls like to admire handsome guys, regardless of age.
After being rescued by Lin Feng, Ruri Chiyo's favorability rating rose by half.
Da da da~ At this time, the two guards of the Kasumioji family arrived late.
Both of these people were wearing Shihakusho and Zanpakuto at their waists, looking like they knew what they were doing, but their combined spiritual pressure was not as good as a Lieutenant.
"Princess, it's great that you're alright. Please don't be so willful and sneak out again in the future."
Quan Long, who had a relatively handsome face, ran to Ruri Chiyo first to check if her body was injured.
Omim frowned. She had just managed to come outside and wanted to say more to Lin Feng, whom she had just met.
However, Saru Ryu, who was tall, strong, and wore black sunglasses, reached out and separated Lin Feng and the others.
"Princess, please understand, there is an invisible chasm between us, the high-ranking nobles, and them, the Soul Reapers."
Quan Long pulled Ruri Chiyo, preventing her from interacting with Lin Feng. In his eyes, Kasumioji was a high-ranking noble family, second only to the Five Great Noble Clans, so how could she associate with low-ranking Soul Reapers!
"Kasumioji?...Princess?...Noble?"
Lin Feng looked at the blonde loli in surprise, then remembered her background. It was hard to imagine he had encountered the Kasumioji family, who shouldn't exist in the Soul Society.
Lin Feng sneered, sighing at how many aristocratic rules there were in Seireitei, even more feudal than the corrupt empire in Akame ga Kill.
When the time was right, Lin Feng wouldn't mind stirring up a bloody storm in Seireitei and eradicating all the unworthy nobles.
Lin Feng waved his hand, bidding farewell to Ruri Chiyo, his expression calm and unconcerned by the impoliteness of the two retainers. However, what mischief he was plotting in his heart was unknown to outsiders.
The blonde loli watched Lin Feng's figure disappear, a hint of sadness in her eyes, before she was taken back to Kasumioji by her two escorts.
Kasumioji lived in the noble district. Their family controlled the technology for creating elite soldiers in the Soul Society, and the family rulers had historically been female. Since Ruri Chiyo's parents died young, as the sole heir, she had been strictly disciplined since childhood.
Returning to the luxurious mansion, the Kasumioji retainers were already lined up in two rows, quietly awaiting her return.
At this moment, an old man with a white beard, pouted lips, and a face like a white-haired orangutan walked out.
The old man's name was Yun Jing, and he was a powerful minister of the Kasumioji family. After Ruri Chiyo's parents died, he began to scheme how to seize the Kasumioji family's wealth.
Behind him followed a young man dressed in purple casual clothes with a black hat on his head.
The young man was utterly bewildered; he had only heard he was going on a blind date, and then four burly men dragged him into such a grand mansion.
The young man couldn't help but shrink back a little when he looked at the people around him.
None of the surrounding retainers spoke; Yun Jing was the first to open his mouth. Although Ruri Chiyo had returned alive, Yun Jing was not angry at all. He smiled broadly as he introduced Ruri Chiyo's fiancé.
Guan Zhimu Chou – his ancestors were also famous nobles in Seireitei, but because his family indulged in pleasure, they had fallen into decline, and now his daily expenses were even less than that of minor nobles.
Guan Zhimu Chou stared blankly at the blonde, blue-eyed Ruri Chiyo in front of him, then narrowed his eyes, unable to stop drooling from the corner of his mouth, looking like a complete pig.
After all, such a beautiful and lovely girl was like an elf from a fairy tale.
Not to mention, among the countless great noble families in Seireitei, the Kasumioji family was second only to the Five Great Noble Clans.
Guan Zhimu Chou had thought he was marrying an ugly girl from a great noble family who couldn't find a husband. He never expected her to be such a cute young girl; it was simply the good fortune he had accumulated over several lifetimes!
Bang bang bang!
When he looked at the girl's jewel-like eyes, his heart pounded violently. An indescribable Thrilling surged through him. His mind was filled with endless topics he wanted to use to strike up a conversation, to get closer and understand her, to feel her warmth.
Could this feeling be... love?
Old Man Yun Jing on the side was still speaking voluminously, praising Guan Zhimu Chou's character and virtues, such as being upright and kind.
But Ruri Chiyo, looking at Guan Zhimu Chou's infatuated expression, frowned slightly, her face showing displeasure.
As a great noble, she couldn't even decide her own marriage. Omim had thought marriage would happen after she came of age, but she didn't expect Yun Jing to come so aggressively today, with an air of forcing the marriage.
Of course, if Ruri Chiyo hadn't met Lin Feng today, she wouldn't have been so resistant. But people are afraid of comparison; once the handsome, almost enchanting, and incredibly powerful Lin Feng is compared to Guan Zhimu Chou, that silly boy Guan Zhimu Chou would naturally be overshadowed...
The next day, at the engagement banquet presided over by Yun Jing, the retainers and countless invited nobles offered their blessings to the couple.
In the spacious hall, people celebrated the union of this golden boy and jade girl.
Guan Zhimu Chou was in a very good mood, so even though he wasn't good at drinking, he drank a lot, because being able to marry such a beautiful bride made him feel that it was the happiest day of his life.
Ruri Chiyo, dressed in a kimono, knelt on the cushion, saying nothing, her eyes completely devoid of the swaying, drunken Guan Zhimu Chou.
For this willful little princess, being with someone she didn't like was even more unbearable than death.
Even when drunk, Guan Zhimu Chou's face was still beaming with smiles. He really liked Ruri Chiyo's appearance; one could even say it was love at first sight. And marrying her, with her noble background, was a source of pride for Guan Zhimu Chou. Even with her cold little face now, she was still incredibly cute.
He felt like he was a winner in life!
However, on the night the banquet ended, Ruri Chiyo eloped with the help of two retainers.
Of course, the two retainers were not just indulging the little princess's whims; they had coincidentally discovered Yun Jing's harmful intentions towards the little princess.
They considered that the little princess was too young to take over as head of the family and lacked the power to oppose Yun Jing, who held great authority. So, under the cover of night, they decided on their own to take Ruri Chiyo to the Human World to hide.
