Chapter 548

The sun was shining brightly, warm but not scorching. 

Hui lay leisurely on the lounge chair, petting the cat, listening to the birdsong outside the window, and smelling the fragrance of flowers carried by the breeze. 

It was truly delightful.

However, the cat being petted by Hui wasn't so relaxed. 

Its eyes were filled with shame and anger. This was a very human-like emotion, one that shouldn't belong to a cat. 

At least, a normal cat shouldn't have such an expression.

But this black cat wasn't a normal cat. It had a name: Shihouin Yoruichi. 

Former Captain of the 2nd Division of the Gotei 13, former Commander-in-Chief of the Onmitsukidō, and former Corps Commander of the Executive Militia of the Onmitsukidō's First Division. 

She was also the 22nd head of the Shihouin Clan, one of the four great noble families of Soul Society!

Each of these titles carried significant weight, holding immense importance in the entire Soul Society. 

Not to mention the combination of all these identities.

Yet at this moment, this "important figure" of Soul Society could only lie aggrieved in Hui's arms, being petted like an ordinary cat. 

This made Yoruichi inwardly furious.

 She, Shihouin Yoruichi, had never suffered such humiliation!

But unfortunately, she could only endure this anger. Because the other party was too strong, so strong that he didn't seem human at all!

Yoruichi hadn't considered escaping, but it was pointless. 

Currently, she appeared unharmed on the surface, but in reality, the Reiryoku in her entire body had been sealed, and the surrounding space formed a terrifying cage, immobilizing her. 

She could twist her body like a normal cat, but she could no longer transform back into a human or use any techniques.

In Hui's hands, she had actually become like a normal cat. 

This was extremely frustrating for Yoruichi, but at the same time, she was inwardly shaken. She wasn't present when Hui caused chaos in Soul Society last time. 

So, after learning of the complete defeat of the Gotei 13, she found it unbelievable and even doubted the truth of the matter. 

If it were'nt for all her sources confirming the incident, she really wouldn't have believed such a thing.

After confirming the truth, Yoruichi suddenly became interested in Hui, her heart filled with curiosity. 

Cats are among the most curious creatures in the world. The saying "curiosity killed the cat" didn't originate from thin air.

To satisfy her curiosity, Yoruichi ignored the warnings of her childhood friend, Urahara Kisuke, and actively sought out Hui's whereabouts, beginning to spy on his life.

The first few times, she was safe and sound, coming and going freely from this villa, making her quite proud, thinking that Hui hadn't discovered her at all. 

But now it seemed that perhaps he simply didn't want to bother with her before. 

This realization gave Yoruichi a sense of defeat.

At the same time, being instantly and completely restrained this time made her understand just how terrifyingly strong this handsome human truly was.

Hui was unaware of the complex emotions in Yoruichi's heart because he had once again sealed off his mind reading ability. 

But even if he knew Yoruichi's current thoughts, he would only find it amusing. 

He naturally knew long ago that the black cat was Yoruichi. After all, as one of the most notable characters in the Bleach world, he had a deep impression of her.

Besides, who could resist petting a powerful and beautiful cat?

Thinking this, the corners of Hui's mouth curled up slightly, and his petting technique became smoother and more practiced.

Time flew by, and dusk arrived.

In an inconspicuous small shop in another part of the city, Urahara Kisuke glanced at the setting sun outside, his brows furrowing slightly, a hint of unease in his heart. 

In the past few days, Yoruichi have returned home by this time.

Yet today, she hadn't.

Although this didn't necessarily mean something had happened to Yoruichi, thinking about where she had gone, Urahara couldn't relax as he usually did. 

He also knew about the incident in Soul Society. As the former Captain of the 12th Division and Director of the Shinigami Research and Development Institute, he knew very well how strong someone who could defeat all the Captains was. It was simply unbelievable. That mysterious human was too powerful.

"Perhaps something came up and delayed her?" Urahara muttered to himself, trying to comfort himself.

He had the urge to go to Hui's villa but suppressed it for the time being. 

If his feeling was wrong and he went there rashly, it might cause unnecessary consequences. 

As a highly intelligent and analytical person, he wouldn't take risks so easily.

… 

After the last rays of the setting sun faded from him, Hui lost the desire to continue lying down. 

Getting up and casually dropping Yoruichi on the ground, Hui formed a single hand seal.

The next moment, a naked woman appeared before him. 

She had long purple hair tied in a ponytail, beautiful and alluring golden eyes, brown skin, and delicate facial features. 

Her figure wasn't overly voluptuous but just perfect.

It was Yoruichi, in her human form.

Hui looked at her with interest, his gaze devoid of lewdness, only calmness. 

This kind of gaze made Yoruichi feel uncomfortable all over.

"Interesting indeed." Hui spoke, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, revealing a charming smile.

However, facing this smile, Yoruichi's mind raged with anger. 

This guy, after treating her like an ordinary cat for several hours, now looked at her naked form and said "interesting." 

It was truly despicable!

But... in an instant, Yoruichi's figure moved, and then her expression turned ugly.

"This is a separate space. We're not in the villa." Hui explained. 

Just now, Yoruichi had tried to quickly leave this place, but she failed.

"That was your Shunpo just now, right? Impressive for a cat, I must say." He praised. 

Yoruichi's speed just now was indeed worthy of being one of the fastest characters in bleach. At short distances, this speed was comparable to spatial teleportation.

"What do you want?" Yoruichi looked at Hui and asked. She knew that relying on herself, she probably couldn't leave this place.

"Nothing much, just wanting to stretch my muscles and bones a bit."

"You want to fight me?" Hearing this, Yoruichi immediately understood Hui's intention.

"Fight? No, let's just play." Hui's words made Yoruichi tense up, a flash of anger in her eyes.

"Fine, let's play then." She responded. Although she knew she wasn't this human's opponent, she was still a powerful Shinigami. She had her pride!

"Come." Hui smiled.
