Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

"Creating souls? Hahaha... His power is probably not that simple."

"If it's not the creation of souls? Then what is it?"

Nimaiya Oetsu was stunned and looked at Hyoninbe Ichibei with a puzzled expression.

However, when faced with his question, Hyosube Ichibei simply scratched his bald head and replied with a grin:

"Even if you ask me this, I'm not entirely sure myself. Perhaps only His Majesty the Spirit King can answer this question."

After saying that, he shrugged, indicating that he knew nothing about it.

"Only His Majesty the Spirit King knows this? Could this power be the reason His Majesty asked me to teach him sword forging?"

Kirinji Tenjiro frowned and asked.

"I don't know, but now that he has mastered the art of sword forging, Wang Yue has finally completed his mission. Lord Spirit King should be meeting with him soon."

Hyosube Ichibei clapped his hands, clearly intending to end the topic.

Seeing this, Kirinji Tenjiro did not press the matter further.

There's nothing we can do about it; even though we're all in the Zero Squad, this big monk is the strongest among us.

Even if the other four attacked together, they might not be a match for this great monk.

Nimaiya Wang Yue pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

Teaching Aozaki Mayuki the art of sword forging was, of course, the Soul King's intention.

Even if he were heartless and carefree, and even if Aozaki Mayuki suited his tastes perfectly, he would never teach such an important technique to a young man he had only known for a few days.

After all, Zanpakuto is the foundation of Shinigami; it is because of Zanpakuto that people called Shinigami exist.

"Your Majesty, the thing you want him to forge shouldn't be a Zanpakuto, right?"

Nimaiya Wang Yue took a deep breath, not knowing who he was asking.

Without someone to ask, you naturally won't get the answers you want.

…………

three days later.

"Understood, I will be on time for the audience."

After seeing off the messenger, Aozaki Mayuki closed the door and returned to the restaurant.

"Little Zhenyue, where did you run off to?!"

Shutara Senjumaru's voice carried an undeniable force, full of heroic spirit, and sounded more composed and serious than usual.

This is the first time she has displayed such spirit since moving into the Wotun Palace.

Although she usually presents herself as a silly, dim-witted older sister.

But she is indeed a royal agent who shoulders a heavy responsibility and protects the Spirit King.

At this moment, her serious expression and her straight, graceful figure are striking.

Every inch of it exudes an irresistible charm and an aura of sacred inviolability.

If there are enemies present, unless they are powerful foes of equal strength, they will be instantly intimidated by her aura and obediently flee.

However, such an opponent is not here now, so no one is afraid at all.

Faced with Shutara Senjumaru's angry glare, Aozaki Mayuki simply reached out and gave her a resounding slap on the forehead.

"Eee-ya-ya!?" Shutara Senjumaru suddenly let out a scream.

"Hey, you big dummy, why are you making such a big fuss? Anyone who didn't know better would think there was an enemy invasion."

Aozaki Mayuki rolled her eyes, staring at Shutara Senjumaru with a bewildered expression.

"It's just a dessert, isn't it? Even if it tastes awful, I wouldn't run away. Put away your spiritual pressure and stop spreading it around."

Aozaki Mayuki frowned and glared at Shutara Senjumaru with annoyance.

Shutara Senjumaru, who had been inexplicably tapped on the head, awkwardly rubbed his hair and stared longingly at Aozaki Mayuki:

"Where did you go just now? I thought you didn't want to eat, so you hid."

"It was the bald man's divine soldier who came to find me."

Aozaki Mayuki crossed her arms and looked at her with annoyance.

"Tell me, where are we now?"

"Big bald head..."

Shutara Senjumaru stood there dumbfounded, his blank mind slowly beginning to recall what he had been doing.

"It's being refrigerated; Ms. Hyōrinmaru was a great help."

The excited Shutara Senjumaru shouted out instantly, and Zero Squad's outer shell shattered into dust in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, Shutara Senjumaru collapsed with a whoosh, his big eyes instantly turning red, filled with anger and annoyance.

She carefully controlled the strength of her fist, gently pounding Aozaki Mayuki:

"You idiot, Shinju, it's all your fault! I forgot to tell Hyōrinmaru-sama the time, and we're going to fail again!"

Aozaki Mayuki quickly comforted him:

"Calm down...don't be angry. If Kiryuki sees us, he'll think we're a couple arguing."

Shutara Senjumaru's small pink fists landed softly on Aozaki Mazuki.

The force was just right, it didn't hurt at all, and instead made Aozaki Mayuki feel comfortable all over.

He grabbed Shutara Senjumaru's arms, startling her. Shutara Senjumaru blushed and turned her head away.

Lately, this kind of situation has been happening between the two of them a lot.

Although Shutara Senjumaru only wanted to get along with Aozaki Mayuki like a normal friend.

But whenever there is accidental physical contact, she feels both shy and embarrassed.

After all, they had kissed before and had a history of confessing and being confessed to.

Aozaki Mayuki:?

That's why the senior is currently struggling with how to maintain a distance from his juniors, yet he doesn't really want to.

Shutara Senjumaru suddenly raised his head, his stubborn eyes staring straight at Aozaki Mazuki.

"It's all your fault. If I hadn't come out to look for you, I would never have forgotten about this."

Shutara Senjumaru's voice carried a hint of anger, as if he were shifting all the blame onto Aozaki Mazuki.

She pouted, a blush rising on her face, like a wronged child.

Chapter 364 is truly despicable!

As he spoke, Shutara Senjumaru lowered his head again and instinctively muttered:

"This is your own responsibility; you should be the one making it up to me."

These words, spoken by Shutara Senjumaru, carried a strange mix of coquettishness and anticipation.

However, she herself was not clear about what she meant by those words.

Perhaps she just wanted Aozaki Mayuki to offer her some comfort, or perhaps she simply wanted to act cute.

As for Aozaki Mayuki, he had no intention of letting go of Shutara Senjumaru.

He spoke in a very close, almost hugging manner:

"Don't worry, I usually ask them to help me cook. Even if you make a mess of it like an idiot, Hyōrinmaru won't make a mistake."

Aozaki Mayuki's voice was full of gentleness and patience.

"Hmm...that's what you say, but couldn't you have comforted me with more tactful words!?"

"But come to think of it, I don't know which half-baked chef is to blame. He just ran out of the kitchen because I left for a little while. You need to concentrate when cooking, I taught you that, right?"

Aozaki Mayuki looked at Shutara Senjumaru with a serious expression, and the latter was speechless for a moment, awkwardly looking away.

As a senior who likes to throw tantrums, Shutara Senjumaru has a skill called "unreasonable".

When faced with something she couldn't find a reason to refute, she would sometimes shut her mouth completely, as if she had sewn it shut.

Aozaki Mayuki interpreted this behavior as her brain crashing.

However, Aozaki Mayuki's goal was not to make her lose her mind.

He looked at Shutara Senjumaru in his arms, a dangerous smile appearing on his face, and continued:

"However, some students don't listen to the teacher and don't pay attention in class. It seems that disobedient children should be punished."

Upon hearing this, Shutara Senjumaru trembled violently, a look of fear appearing on his face.

She tried to break free from Aozaki Mayuki's embrace, but was held tightly and unable to move.

Aozaki Mayuki smiled and leaned close to Shutara Senjumaru's ear, whispering:

"Don't be afraid, it's just a little punishment."

After saying that, he gently blew a breath into Shutara Senjumaru's ear.

Shutara Senjumaru's face instantly turned bright red.

"...What...what do you want to do..."

Shutara Senjumaru stared nervously at Aozaki Mayuki and stammered out a question.

Although she didn't think Aozaki Mayuki would force her.

But faced with this tempting opportunity, Shutara Senjumaru had to start considering the worst possible scenario.

After all, I am so beautiful, it is understandable that Xiao Zhenyue could not help but let her beastly nature run wild.

Thinking of this, Shutara Senjumaru couldn't help but close his eyes.

It seems they've resigned themselves to their fate, waiting to see what might happen next.

However, after a long time, she still did not experience the wonderful sensation she had expected.
