Cheat B Is Born (1)
And so, Liu Ziyun endured a year of both pain and joy, amidst the various daily little challenges from Retsu Unohana and Isane Kotetsu.
Throughout the year, he was constantly bossed around by the two women. One day he was assigned to organize the warehouse, the next day to train new team members, and the day after that he was assigned to handle chores that no one else wanted to do. Every time he tried to slack off, he would see two smiling faces and then obediently go to work.
But at the same time, he also enjoyed unprecedented warmth. Isane Kotetsu would quietly bring him a cup of tea when he was busy, Retsu Unohana would silently leave a light on when he was still working overtime late at night. Those small acts of kindness made him feel that all his hard work was worthwhile.
On this sunny day, Liu Ziyun was engrossed in processing documents in the Medical Room when the door was suddenly pushed open.
Yoruichi Shihōin stood at the doorway, still in her black cat form. She flicked her tail and said lazily, "Isshin Shiba and Masaki Kurosaki's child has been born. They named him Ichigo Kurosaki."
Liu Ziyun. He looked up, a complex light flashing in his eyes. "Hmm, okay. 'Cheat B' has appeared."
He stood up, walked over to Yoruichi Shihōin, and reached out to ruffle her cat-like hair. "No need to deliver the message for now. I might have to go to the World of the Living in a few days."
Yoruichi Shihōin dodged his hand in disgust. "Okay, I got it. I'll head back now."
After saying that, she turned and left, her figure disappearing outside the door.
After Yoruichi Shihōin's figure disappeared outside the door, Liu Ziyun stood there, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. He looked up at the sky over Seireitei, that ever-clear blue sky, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart.
[The Cheat B... finally appeared.]
He thought to himself, "That orange-haired boy, the Child of Destiny who will change everything, has finally arrived in this world. From this moment on, the gears of fate will begin to turn faster, racing towards that predetermined destination."
Without delay, he immediately turned and walked towards the Fourth Division Captain's office. His steps were light, but he was already planning his next move.
Captain's Office.
Retsu Unohana sat upright at the tea table, two steaming cups of tea before her. Seeing Liu Ziyun enter, she looked up, a knowing glint in her eyes. "The Child of Destiny has appeared?"
Liu Ziyun nodded and sat down opposite her. "Yes, it's here. It was a message just delivered by Yoruichi Shihōin."
He paused, then continued, "I need to make some preparations, otherwise rescuing people in the future will be very troublesome. So I might have to go to the World of the Living in the next few days."
Retsu Unohana picked up her teacup and took a small sip. Her movements were elegant and composed, as if she were merely discussing the weather. "Alright, then go ahead."
She put down her teacup, her gaze falling on Liu Ziyun's face, her eyes carrying a hint of concern and a warning. "Be careful. Don't put yourself in danger again while trying to save someone. Otherwise..."
A dangerous smile curled at the corner of her lips, "Isane and I won't let you get away with this."
Liu Ziyun a warmth in his heart and quickly nodded, "I understand. I'll go down now."
He stood up, ready to leave.
"Ziyun." Retsu Unohana's voice came from behind.
Liu Ziyun stopped and turned to look at her.
A mischievous glint flashed in Retsu Unohana's eyes, a glint of teasing, amusement, and an indescribable tenderness. "Don't you want to stay... and get to know each other better?"
Liu Ziyun's eyes lit up, and an expectant expression appeared on his face. "Is it okay?"
Retsu Unohana's expression changed instantly. Her face, which had just been filled with a gentle smile, was now as cold as ice. She narrowed her eyes and forced out a single word through gritted teeth. "Get out."
Liu Ziyun speechless for a moment, his expression shifting from anticipation to helplessness. But instead of leaving immediately, he asked ingratiatingly, "Um... Captain, is there anything you need when I go to the World of the Living this time? I'll bring it back for you."
A sly glint flashed in Retsu Unohana's eyes. In that glint was calculation, mischief, and a playful, cat-and-mouse game. "Buy me some... lingerie you like."
Liu Ziyun's eyes lit up instantly, brighter than the sun. His signature, slightly lewd smile appeared on his face, and he became excited. "Great! Captain, will you wear it for me then?"
A glint of cunning flashed in Retsu Unohana's eyes, as fleeting as a fox's tail. But a gentle smile appeared on her face, a smile filled with expectation, shyness, and an irresistible charm. "Sure. I'll also have Isane wear it with me. How about it? Happy?"
Liu Ziyun excited he almost jumped up, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice. "Happy! So happy!"
Retsu Unohana waved with a smile, "Then why don't you hurry up and go?"
Liu Ziyun turned around happily and flung open the door to the Captain's Office.
Then, he froze.
Isane Kotetsu was standing in the doorway, his face dark, arms crossed, staring at him with a "you're dead" look.
Liu Ziyun's smile froze on his face. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that his tongue was tied in a knot and completely unresponsive.
Isane Kotetsu didn't say anything. She simply reached out, grabbed Liu Ziyun's ear, twisted it hard, and dragged him back into the Captain's Office.
The force and the aura he exuded were nothing like those of a gentle Fourth Division Lieutenant; they were more like a queen catching her husband in the act of adultery.
Liu Ziyun was dragged along, wincing in pain, but dared not resist. He was forcefully thrown to the ground by Isane Kotetsu, ending up in a disheveled state.
Isane Kotetsu stood before him, looking down at him with a mixture of anger, resentment, and an indescribable complex emotion in her eyes. "You still want me and the captain to wear your favorite underwear for you to see?"
Looking at the furious Isane Kotetsu, and then at Retsu Unohana sitting at the tea table with a grin, Liu Ziyun instantly understood everything.
[I've been tricked! This is a trap set by Xiao Lielie!]
He groaned inwardly, but forced a fawning smile onto his face, "Isane-chan, I didn't! I'm just going to the World of the Living, so I wanted to buy you some things you like..."
Isane Kotetsu scoffed, his voice laced with disbelief. "Buy the lingerie you like? And then have the captain and I wear it for you? Is that it?!"
Retsu Unohana then spoke softly. Her face held a look of being wronged, her eyes filled with grievance, helplessness, and a pitiful vulnerability that tugged at the heartstrings. "Yes. He said if we didn't wear them for him, he'd force us to. Right now, I'm not as strong as him, I can't resist..."
She lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer, as if she had truly suffered a great injustice. "Isane, do you think he's very bad?"
Liu Ziyun stared in disbelief at Retsu Unohana's appearance.
[Is this... is this still the same ruthless First Kenpachi?! This acting, this expression, this tone... she deserves an Oscar!]
Hearing this, Isane Kotetsu became even more furious. Her eyes practically spit fire, her rage seeming capable of burning Liu Ziyun to ashes. "You've grown some guts, huh! Threatening the captain?! What, are you planning to imprison me and the captain together and show you all those clothes you bought?!"
Liu Ziyun looked completely wronged, waving his hands wildly. "No! I really didn't say that!"
Retsu Unohana added sarcastically, "If you haven't said it... then you have thought about it."
Upon hearing this, Isane Kotetsu's anger intensified.
Looking at the two of them, Liu Ziyun completely gave up struggling. He slumped to the ground and said in a tone of utter despair, "Or... you two can just kill me. I really don't know how to explain myself anymore."
