Sunshine, Beaches, Waves, and Cacti

When Xuanxin and Yoruichi appeared at the night market in Karakura Town, all eyes were drawn to the three of them, and Xuanxin naturally became an emotionless ATM and bag carrier.

However, seeing the rare relaxed smiles on the faces of the three women beside him, he sighed helplessly and let them do as they pleased.

After wandering around for a while, the four of them found a decent-looking bar and settled into a private room. But they had only been sitting for a short while when Xuanxin pushed Yoruichi out to get some food and fruit.

Watching Xuanxin leave, Yoruichi and Sister Hana exchanged a glance, then quickly dripped some mysterious liquid into Xuanxin's cup. Rangiku was about to speak when Sister Hana's gaze stopped her.

Soon after Xuanxin returned, Yoruichi and Sister Hana used various excuses to successfully get Xuanxin to drink the cup of wine in one gulp.

As Rangiku had predicted, Xuanxin quickly became drowsy and then fell into a deep sleep.

Hearing Xuanxin's increasingly loud snoring, Yoruichi's expression turned serious. After pouring Rangiku a glass of sake, she stared directly at Rangiku and asked:

"Alright, now that troublesome guy is asleep. Rangiku Matsumoto, let's be frank. What are your thoughts on Xuanxin?"

Upon hearing Yoruichi's question, Unohana gave Rangiku the same look.

Faced with the oppressive aura of the two "official wives," Rangiku was initially taken aback, but quickly straightened her back and said confidently:

"That's right! I like Lord Xuanxin. From the first time I saw him in Soul Society, I knew he was the one."

Hearing Rangiku so openly admit her feelings, Yoruichi gritted her teeth, kicked Xuanxin, then snorted coldly, raised her wine cup, and said nothing more.

Seeing Yoruichi's behavior Yoruichi, Retsu Unohana, who was sitting to the side, looked at her with a hint of amusement and said, "Yoruichi, you gave in so easily? This isn't like you. Could it be... that you're... a little 'out of your depth'?"

Upon hearing the words "powerless," Yoruichi suddenly bristled, followed by a rare blush rising on her face.

"What do you mean by 'feeling powerless'? I was... I was..."

Yoruichi stammered, but it seemed she really couldn't find an excuse, so she threw the question back at Retsu Unohana, saying, "No! Why are you asking me? I think you're the one who's 'powerless'!"

Faced with Yoruichi's question, Sister Hana responded with a completely different attitude, stating directly, "I am indeed somewhat 'out of my depth,' after all, that day..."

At first, Rangiku was a little confused about the topic, but as a seasoned "veteran," Rangiku understood the unspoken meaning behind their conversation.

Rangiku's face flushed red instantly, her breathing becoming rapid. She quickly raised her wine glass to hide her embarrassment.

At that moment, Yoruichi also succumbed to the open and honest gaze of Retsu Unohana.

Then, Ye Yi Isshin, clutched her waist and said, "Okay, I admit it, but he really has... changed a lot."

After saying Yoruichi deep breath, her expression turned serious as she looked at Rangiku, whose face was flushed, and earnestly said:

"Listen carefully, Rangiku Matsumoto. What I'm saying today only means I'm no longer against what you're doing. But ultimately, where you end up depends on Xuanxin's decision, understand?"

Upon hearing this phrase, which was almost like a "passport," Rangiku's eyes flashed with wild joy, and she nodded emphatically.

"Alright, let's settle the bill and go." Yoruichi waved his hand and easily hoisted the sleeping Xuanxin onto his shoulder.

Under the cover of night, the three of them headed toward the private villa that Yoruichi and Xuanxin had secretly acquired in the World of the Living.

Once inside the house, Yoruichi pointed to the guest room and said, "While I don't object, that's your spot now."

After saying that, under Rangiku's wide-eyed gaze, he and Retsu Unohana dragged Xuanxin into the master bedroom and closed the door.

Then, faintly, Yoruichi's complaining voice could be heard from inside. "Wait, why hasn't the effect of this medicine worn off yet... Hey, Xuanxin, wake up!!"

Upon hearing Rangiku couldn't help but smile, and then returned to her own room with a sense of relief.

Fortunately, the entire villa had been specially soundproofed, otherwise Rangiku probably wouldn't have been able to sleep that night.

Chapter 100 Sunshine, Beach, Waves, Cactus

When Xuanxin woke up the next day, the two people lying beside him were still asleep, perhaps because, as they had said the day before, they were somewhat "out of their depth".

Xuanxin looked around at the modern room, rubbed his temples which were feeling a bit drowsy from the effects of the medicine, then pulled himself out of his reverie, put on a coat, and headed towards the living room.

As he walked, Xuanxin was still trying to recall what had happened yesterday. He vaguely remembered that at the night market last night... there shouldn't have been more than just the three of them, right?

Xuanxin casually took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, unscrewed the cap, and drank it down. As the cold mineral water flowed into his body, his dazed mind became a little clearer.

Just then, the bathroom door, which had been tightly closed, was suddenly pulled open!

Then a figure wrapped in a bath towel emerged from the bathroom, round water droplets sliding down her fair skin and into her unfathomable cleavage.

Xuanxin's eyes widened suddenly, followed by a violent cough.

The captain of the Second Division, the head of the Shihoin Clan, and a recognized powerhouse in the entire Soul Society, almost choked to death in his own living room by a bottle of mineral water that was readily available everywhere.

Upon hearing Xuanxin's cough, Rangiku Matsumoto showed no sign of alarm or screaming. Instead, she covered herself with a towel and walked straight toward Xuanxin.

Seeing this, Xuanxin retreated even further, and in a Shunpo, he returned to his room, leaving Rangiku Matsumoto with a wicked grin staring at the closed door.

After returning to the room, Xuanxin immediately pulled Yoruichi out of bed and then shook her, asking:

"Yoruichi! Yoruichi, wake up! What's going on?! Why is Rangiku in our house?! And...!"

However, Yoruichi, who was clearly exhausted, obviously didn't want to answer Xuanxin's question, and instead replied irrelevantly:

"Okay, okay, let me sleep a little longer. Go find the cat next door, or if all else fails, there's Rangiku in the next room, just for a little while."

Upon hearing Yoruichi's undisguised words, Xuanxin froze on the spot. Hearing Yoruichi's reply, Xuanxin seemed to understand something; clearly, Yoruichi and Sister Hana had betrayed him again.

Xuanxin took a deep breath, then adopted the demeanor of the male head of the household, and abruptly pulled back the covers, waking the two of them.

Ten minutes later,

Yoruichi, Rangiku, Sister Hana, and Xuanxin sat down neatly at the table.

This time, Rangiku was the one sandwiched between Sister Hana and Yoruichi, while Xuanxin stood on the opposite side, looking seriously at the three of them.

However, Sister Hana and Yoruichi were clearly not fully awake at this point, and they didn't even realize that their clothes were buttoned up incorrectly.

Rangiku, the only one of the three who still had any energy, looked around and changed the subject.

Seeing that he couldn't get any answers from Xuanxin, he had no choice but to put on a stern face and slam his hand on the table. Using his non-existent family head authority, the two began to argue.

At first, Rangiku was startled when she saw Xuanxin slam his hand on the table, but when she noticed that the two seniors beside her remained calm and composed, she stopped being nervous.

At that moment, Sister Hana secretly reached out and nudged Yoruichi, signaling Yoruichi to go and resolve the issue.

Yoruichi yawned, then walked over to Xuanxin and sat down, saying:

"Sigh, we did this all because of you! Sister Hana and I are really exhausted! So we had to find some outside help! Besides, I haven't said anything, why are you getting so worked up!"

Xuanxin was momentarily speechless, but quickly added, "You could have just told me. Besides, if you had just brought Rangiku over, whether she wanted to or not wouldn't have mattered..."

"I do!" Rangiku exclaimed abruptly.

Upon hearing this, Yoruichi immediately stood up and gave Rangikuka a high-five, then looked at Genshin provocatively. The balance of power shifted instantly.

Then, in front of Yoruichi and Sister Hana, Yoruichi took out a pendant that matched all three of them from a cabinet and handed it to Rangiku. Rangiku took the pendant Xuanxin, looked at it, and then put it on her neck.

Seeing the three of them so in sync, Xuanxin felt a bit conflicted, so he could only silently give up and say nothing more.

Seeing Xuanxin still struggling with his decision, Sister Hana promptly offered a way out, saying, "Xuanxin, it's getting late. We still need to go to the beach today, right?"

This statement also reminded Xuanxin then suddenly said to the three of them:

"Oh, right, I almost forgot about my senior brothers! Hurry up and pack, we're leaving soon!"

Upon hearing this, the three women sitting opposite him immediately got up and went back to their room to change their Xuanxin. Sister Hana also thoughtfully handed the clothes they had prepared for Xuanxin to him.

Before long, Xuanxin and his three companions, dressed in refreshing summer clothes, appeared at the base in the sunlight.

As everyone watched the three appear at the same time, Kyōraku revealed a meaningful smile, then winked at Xuanxin, while the Captain-Commander silently closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

Of all the people present, Soi Fon Soi Fon the most obviously. When she saw the three people who had appeared together, she already sensed something was wrong.

At first, she still held onto some hope, after all, Yoruichi and Sister Hana were not easy women to deal with. However, when Soi Fon saw the pendant on Rangiku's wrist that was exactly the same as hers, she completely lost her nerve.

Now, the high-risk units she recorded in her notebook have all become her own owners.

This isn't a "high-risk unit list" at all; it's clearly "Xuanxin's harem record sheet"!

When Rangiku noticed Soi Fon's gaze, she even shook the pendant on her wrist with great seriousness, which further shocked Soi Fon.

This pendant is now practically proof of the Shihoin Clan's harem.

But who is still an outsider after receiving the pendant? Oh, it's her alone then... Is that so?

Seeing Soi Fon frozen in place, Yoruichi gave Rangiku a reproachful look before walking over to comfort her.

In fact, Soi Fon forgot that another "outsider" with the pendant was still in Soul Society, engaged in a technological competition with his colleagues.

At this time

Soon, everyone disappeared from the base and headed towards the planned beach.

Similarly, Ichigo and Orihime also received an invitation, and then they, along with Renji, Ikkaku, and the others, headed to the address in the message.

But when Ichigo and the others arrived on the beach wearing beach shorts and flip-flops, the expected noisy crowd did not appear; instead, there was only a clear blue sky and a tranquil sandy beach.

"No, then what's going on? Could it be that we've come to the wrong place? But this is the place! I was the one who made the reservation!"

Renji and Ikkaku, who were standing next to Ichigo, also scratched their heads in confusion.

Just as the three were still confused, a familiar voice rang out from behind them.

"Yo, you guys are here, Ichigo."

Everyone turned around in surprise, only to see Shūhei standing behind them with a helpless expression, carrying several boxes of snacks, alcohol, and drinks.

Before Ichigo could speak, Shūhei continued, "You've come at the right time. There's still a lot of stuff to move over there. Why don't you come and help?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked in the direction Shūhei was pointing.

Sure enough, there were workers there, even helping to unload the mountain of supplies: snacks, drinks, fruit. Ichigo also saw several ovens and refrigerators.

Clearly, this was not a task that the four of them could complete in a short time. With that in mind, Ichigo took out his phone and called Uryū and Chad.

At first, Uryū still expressed that he didn't really want to attend this gathering. After all, it was a bit too hellish for a Quincy to attend a gathering of Shinigami captains.

However, in the end, it was his brotherly loyalty that convinced Uryū to come with Chad.

The four of them then sat down and waited for reinforcements to arrive. They worked there for a while, but instead of Uryū, another familiar face arrived.

All I saw Isshin running over, wearing only those beach shorts, muttering as she approached, "Hey! The kid's really grown up, she doesn't even invite me to parties anymore! Waaah~"

Ichigo suddenly felt his blood pressure rise a little. It was only then that Isshin noticed Renji and the others beside Ichigo.

"Son, is this your friend from Soul Society?"

Upon hearing Isshin's words, Renji and the others quickly greeted Isshin.

Sensing something was amiss, Isshin tried to slip away, but Ichigo grabbed his clothes tightly, saying, "Since you've already delivered yourself to my doorstep, you might as well stay and help."

After saying that, he specifically pointed to the mountain of supplies. Isshin at the pile, Yixin chuckled and said, "Oh! So much! Young people can really eat! I thought it was because the captains were all here... haha."

But all he got in response was silence. Realizing he had just exposed the truth, Isshin gave up struggling. After all, if the captains had come, he probably would have been discovered the moment he stepped onto the beach.

Not long after, Uryū and the others arrived at the beach. With everyone's efforts, they successfully moved the supplies to a place where everyone could see them.

Seeing Ichigo and the others appear on the beach, Orihime, who had been waiting for a long time, ran over as well.

Ichigo seeing Orihime's inner weariness vanished with her smile. Looking at his son's smile, Isshin smiled back and was reminded of his own past.

After Orihime and the others exchanged a few pleasantries, Ichigo asked:
