Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

Ayana can't imagine what she'll be like without Isaac.

"Well, I was just giving an example..." Isaac said helplessly.

He never expected that Ayana's dependence on him would reach such a morbid level.

While Isaac was thinking, the girl in front of him lowered her head silently and said with a wry smile, "Now, I think I understand my mother's actions a little better. Once you get something, you have to be careful with it and never want to lose it."

"what?"

Before Isaac could even ask a question, Ayana grabbed Isaac's hand and placed it on her chest.

"!"

It's very soft and well-developed.

"Was that woman with the tattoo your girlfriend?"

"No, we're just very good friends. I'm still single." Isaac tried to take his hand back, but Ayana kept it firmly on her chest.

“Whether she’s my girlfriend or not, I can’t leave you now.” Ayana gazed at Isaac with dreamy eyes. “I won’t affect your life now. I will do anything for you. I will agree to all your requests. I can do what you and your girlfriend do.”

Isaac: "...Calm down."

"I love you, Rentaro. I don't care how you see me in the future, whether you treat me as your mistress or even your pet, please let me stay by your side... Please."

Faced with such a bold statement, even Isaac was so shocked that his mouth dropped open, and in the end he could only utter one sentence:

"...Let me have some peace and quiet."

------

Isaac was smoking in the hallway of the villa.

Levi has now escaped Robert's clutches and happens to see Isaac looking dejected in the hallway.

"What's wrong? Did you get rejected by a girl?"

“I think…” Isaac exhaled a smoke ring, “I think I’ve been confessed to.”

"what?"

"It's the first time in my life I've been confessed to, so it's inevitable that I'll feel a little smug."

"This young girl is quick on her feet," Levi frowned. "So, what do you plan to do? Will you agree?"

"I intend to refuse."

"what?"

Hearing that Isaac was about to refuse, Levi was secretly thrilled, but still asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you interested in those little girls?"

"Although I really want to find a girlfriend and end my single life, my career doesn't allow me to be so willful." Isaac sighed and stubbed out his cigarette.

"You've already rejected her?"

"Not yet. She's just been through a trauma and has some mental issues. I'm thinking of what to say when I refuse... wait a minute."

Suddenly, Isaac had a flash of inspiration and came up with a great idea.

He took his phone out of his pocket and quickly scrolled through his contacts.

"What's wrong? What can we do?"

"I need help from outside the game. Someone like me who has never been in a relationship definitely can't solve this kind of problem. I have to consult an experienced person."

He quickly found the number and dialed it.

"Hey?"

"Hey Dad, I need to ask you something."

Chapter 658: Emotional Problem Consultation

"Oh, Feifan, what are you doing here so early?" The father yawned slightly.

Because of the time difference, it's still morning where he is.

"I need to ask you about something."

"Oh? This is the first time you've come to me for advice," Isaac's father asked casually. "What do you need my advice on? Relationship problems or something else? But I don't think you'll have any relationship problems..."

"It's a relationship problem."

"Oh my, this is incredible!" The father immediately perked up, all sleepiness vanished. "Feifan, which girl have you taken a fancy to? Your dad's a seasoned player in the dating game, I guarantee I can help you win her over..."

Someone confessed their feelings to me.

"what!?"

Is this something that surprises you?

“Yes, I always felt that a girl who would confess to a blockhead like you would never exist on Earth,” Isaac’s father said.

Judging from his behavior toward his son over the past few years, it's clear that he has absolutely no emotional intelligence.

As his father, he was extremely worried.

"Is the girl pretty?"

"It looks pretty good by normal standards of aesthetics."

"Okay, I understand. Just go ahead and do it." The father quickly came to a conclusion.

"Wow, are you human? I'm only fourteen years old!"

“Then do everything except the last step.” The father said earnestly, “Feifan, you need to understand that if a girl takes the initiative to confess to you, it means that her heart is already with you. Besides, she is also beautiful. You can’t lose out no matter how you look at it.”

"But what I want to ask you is how to reject her."

"..."

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly fall silent?"

"How could I have given birth to such a stupid son?" The father on the other end of the phone covered his face with a look of utter disappointment. "If I were you, I definitely wouldn't be thinking about all this nonsense. Let's book the hotel room first."

"If you're so capable, say that to my mom."

"How can that be the same? I'm already married and need a stable life, so I can't mess around. But someone your age should definitely have more relationships to broaden their horizons."

"Isn't the point of dating to get married?"

"Why are you so old-fashioned at such a young age? When your dad was your age, I had countless women..."

Isaac now realizes that asking his father for advice on this kind of problem was a mistake.

However, the father seemed to continue talking incessantly.

"Feifan, do you know what my biggest wish was when I was young?"

"What is it?"

"It's about making a fortune, buying a big yacht, and inviting a bunch of bikini-clad beauties aboard for a party." The father's voice trailed off with a touch of melancholy. "But alas, we don't have a yacht. Right now, all we have is an aircraft carrier and a bunch of soldiers..."

"I've seen the configuration of your aircraft carrier. All the aircraft are fourth-generation fighters, equipped with electromagnetic catapults, and have a maximum speed of 50 knots. It seems they've also recently installed ECS..."

"So what?"

"Isn't this more powerful than a yacht?"

"Tsk, why is it so difficult to talk to you, kid?"

He knew, as a father, that his own children were hundreds of times more excited when talking about weapons than when talking about girls.

"Alright, hurry up and teach me how to reject a girl's confession."

"Just say 'I don't like you' and that's it, or say 'You're a good person' or something like that."

"Are you sure everything's alright?" Isaac asked, sounding a little worried. "The child seems to have been through something today, and she's a bit afraid that I'll leave her..."

"Wow, you actually have the nerve to reject her? Are you even human?!"

"..."

"Don't even think about refusing. Based on my experience, just go up and hug her, then give her a deep kiss. You can figure out the rest yourself."

"Dad..."

"Hmm? Is there any other question?"

“I recorded our entire conversation today,” Isaac said calmly. “If you don’t answer my questions properly, I don’t know if these words will end up in my mother’s ears.”

"..."

"The most important thing for a family is to be together. I don't want to see you end up in the ICU after being hit with a frying pan."

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you the simplest way," the father said helplessly.

This kid has been getting worse and worse lately; I wonder who he inherited it from.

"You speak, I'm listening."

"If you don't want to hurt that girl, it's best to make her think you're not a good man, and then she can give up on her own."

"Oh? Tell me more."

"Simply put, make her think you're a jerk, and she'll be more likely to give up on you."

"I see."

Isaac nodded to himself, realizing that this was indeed a good idea.

"So, what exactly should I do?"

“Just tell her, ‘Considering my status, it’s not really appropriate for us to be boyfriend and girlfriend. We can only be friends with benefits.’ Then she’ll give up on you on her own.”

"Are you sure everything's okay?"

"No problem. This is the trick I used when I broke up with people when I was young, and it never failed. Just be prepared to get slapped."

"...Okay, I'll give it a try."

……

Isaac hung up the phone and glanced at his room.

Levi stared blankly at Isaac. Although their conversation had been over the phone, she had heard it all clearly.

"I have to say, your dad is a real talent."
