I just wanted to cultivate immortality, but I was forced to open a harem

Shuchiin is a famous school based in Minato-ku, Tohoku City. It was founded as an institution to educate aristocrats and samurai families and has a long history.

Even now that the aristocracy has been abolished, there are many people who were born into wealthy and famous families and will shoulder the fate of the country in the future and study here.

In a nutshell, it is a school that only children from the richest and most powerful families in the island nation can attend.

These children receive elite education, build connections with each other, fall in love with people of equal status, and after graduation, they inherit their father's business, start a family and have children. Then, their children will repeat their life trajectory and rule the island country from generation to generation...

Just as Haibara Ai said, the son of a politician will become a politician, and the son of a bank president will become a bank president. If this continues, no matter how long it passes, the island country will not change.

However, the changes in the world's laws are not subject to human will. The revival of spiritual energy, as the biggest variable of this era, is destined to sweep away and change everything.

"Hey, Kaguya-san, do you know the truth about the gas explosion a few days ago?" Chika leaned close to Kaguya's ear and asked in a low voice.

Kaguya narrowed her eyes slightly.

As the daughter of one of the island nation's top tycoons, she certainly knew that it was not a gas explosion at all, but a sensational battle between extraordinary beings.

One side is the rebellious Kamo family, and the other side is the de facto ruler of the island country's supernatural world - the royal family.

The royal family of the island nation inherited extraordinary powers and has been the leader of the extraordinary world from beginning to end. This is why the royal family of the island nation was not liquidated after the defeat.

"Isn't it just the royal family suppressing a rebellion?" she replied softly.

"It's not just that." Fujiwara Chika showed an unfathomable expression.

"In fact, it was not the royal family or the Tokugawa family who destroyed the Kamo family, but a super powerful independent cultivator. It is said that he has the inheritance of a cultivator from the Celestial Empire!"

"Could it be someone from the Celestial Empire?"

"Then I don't know." Fujiwara Chika pouted.

Kaguya tapped Qianhua's head and said, "Stop gossiping. What does a powerful monk have to do with us? He won't become our future husband. Stop being lazy and work hard."

"It hurts. Kaguya is too harsh on me." Chika covered her head and said with tears in her eyes.

Chapter 148 They Are All Losers

In the end, Fujiwara Chika still didn't clean the house.

In fact, this shrine located in the imperial palace is cleaned by someone every day, so there is no need for these noble ladies who are "experiencing the life of shrine maidens" to do it themselves.

In the deep and quiet palace, the lush trees blocked out the afterglow of the sun, leaving only a little cool breeze blowing on the leaves, causing the light fallen leaves to dance gracefully, as if beautiful butterflies were dancing.

Everything seemed so peaceful and quiet, without even a single noisy sound. This palace located in the most prosperous area of ​​East City was like a fantasy town far away from the world, quiet and mysterious.

Chika Fujiwara sat on the steps of the shrine. After eating the Japanese confectionery offered as an offering, she licked her fingers with satisfaction.

"It's so delicious. It's worthy of being the most famous Japanese confectionery shop in Dongdu City. It's such a waste to offer it to the dead every day." She muttered.

Shinomiya Kaguya quickly spoke up to stop him: "Don't be disrespectful to the gods. Since you know that the battle a few days ago was a battle between extraordinary people, you should know that immortal cultivators, gods, and monsters are real."

"It's okay, Kaguya-san. In fact, the deity enshrined here is not a god at all. It is impossible for it to bring disaster to us." Qianhua said indifferently.

The Fujiwara family, into which she came, was a famous noble family in the island country.

More than 1200 years ago in the Asuka period, Nakatomi Kamatari was active in the island nation's politics as a close confidant of Prince Nakano Oe (Emperor Tenji) before and after the Taika Reform, and was given the surname Fujiwara for his merits.

Afterwards, the Fujiwara clan prospered and monopolized the two positions of "Regent" and "Kanpaku" of the island country, and they undermined the power of the retired emperor for nearly 500 years. The retired emperors of all generations could only marry women from the Fujiwara family as empresses.

Therefore, the Fujiwara family knew many unknown secrets about the royal family.

"Oh, I finally don't have to go to school, but in the end I can't go out to play. I have to be on duty in this small shrine. It's so boring." Fujiwara Chika stretched.

"I'll go see if there's anything interesting here." She said, and walked into the shrine.

"Hey, don't touch other people's things." Shinomiya Kaguya was a little helpless. This girl just makes people worry.

Chika is a friend Kaguya made when she was in junior high school. The two of them were so close that they would often spend the night together, but Chika's overly naive and quirky personality often gave Kaguya a headache.

“Kaguya-san, come and see!” Fujiwara Chika’s voice came from inside the shrine.

"Clang clang, one of the three sacred artifacts of the island country, the Yasakani no Quyu, is here!" Qianhua ran out holding a hook-shaped emerald green jade pendant.

“What?” Kaguya said anxiously, “Fujiwara-san, put down the sacred object! It will be terrible if it gets damaged!”

Yasakani no Magatama is one of the three sacred treasures of the island country. It is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the royal family. It is said to be a magic weapon with real magical powers. If it is damaged, it will be a disaster, and the Shinomiya family and the Fujiwara family will also suffer.

"Ah, my hand slipped." Fujiwara Chika suddenly fell flat on the ground, and the magatama in her hand flew out and was about to fall to the ground.

"How could I let it shatter in front of my eyes!" said Kaguya Shinomiya, and jumped up.

At this moment, she used the martial arts and skills that she had practiced hard since childhood to the extreme. She walked lightly and as fast as lightning. She rushed to the entrance of the shrine in an instant and caught the magatama with her hand before it touched the ground.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Fujiwara Chika, who witnessed the whole process, clapped her hands vigorously.

"I'm telling you, you almost got into trouble. Can you just play with this thing casually?" Kaguya stood up and lectured Chika.

"But there are many identical magatama in the shrine. Everyone will secretly take some and carry them as amulets." Fujiwara Chika took out several more magatama like a magic trick.

Looking at these identical "artifacts", Kaguya, who was here as a shrine maiden for the first time, was a little dumbfounded: "This, this is..."

"Hehe, Kaguya-san, you don't think the real thing would be just left here, do you?" Chika smiled like a little devil, "You are so naive. No matter how generous the royal family is, they would never do such a thing."

"Ah, you knew it a long time ago, right? You were just playing a trick on me just now!" Kaguya stomped her feet in anger.

"Hey." Qianhua made a face and ran away.

……

The majestic and solemn island palace exudes peace and tranquility.

In the Changyu Palace where the retired emperor lived, smoke was rising from two incense burners, filling the air with rich and mellow sandalwood.

This sandalwood, which is used exclusively by the royal family, is a special "calming incense" made by monks. It has the effect of calming the mind and spirit, and is most suitable as an aid to spiritual practice.

The thin and short Emperor stood by the window, looking at the shrine in the distance and watching the two lively young maidens playing and fighting, and said with emotion: "It's great to be young."

The Great Tengu standing beside him said, "You are also very young, less than 100 years old. Only someone like Yu who has lived for almost a thousand years should say such things."

Daitengu was originally the 75th Emperor Retired Emperor of the island nation, Sutoku. He was nominally the eldest son of Emperor Retired Emperor Toba, but in fact he was the illegitimate son of Toba's grandfather, Emperor Retired Emperor Shirakawa.

Emperor Shirakawa committed adultery with his granddaughter-in-law Fujiwara no Shoko and gave birth to Sutoku. When Sutoku was 5 years old, he ordered Emperor Toba to abdicate and give the throne to Sutoku.

Emperor Toba held a grudge against this. After his grandfather's death, he forced Sutoku to give up the throne to his biological son and deprived Sutoku of the power to conduct "in-house politics" in the name of the emperor emeritus.

Afterwards, a serious conflict broke out between Chongde and the former emperor's line, and the internal strife within the royal family even led to violence.

Ultimately, the Sutoku Rebellion failed and he was exiled to Sanuki, where he lived under house arrest. Even when he copied scriptures by hand to atone his sins, it was not accepted.

Anger and resentment grew day by day, and after Chongde's death, his vengeful spirit turned into a Tengu and became a demon.

Therefore, Daitengu has a long-standing relationship with the Emperor's line, and this is a secret known only to the lineage of the retired Emperor.

The previous hatred faded away with the passage of time. Faced with the realistic pressure of lack of spiritual energy, Da Tengu maintained contact with the royal family again and became a thorn in their side in the demon clan.

A hundred years ago, the Kamo family became powerful, and the royal family secretly ordered Da Tengu to lead some monsters to join the Kamo family.

It is worth mentioning that Tamamonomae and Sudeku are old acquaintances.

"Tamamo" was originally the most beloved concubine of Emperor Toba. Due to her natural beauty, she was praised as "the virtuous princess who radiates light from within", and the emperor specially bestowed her with the title "Tamamo".

However, not long after, the retired emperor fell ill with a strange disease, and the ministers began to suspect Tamamo. The famous Yin-Yang master Abe Yasuchika secretly performed divination on her.

As a result, Tamamo's true identity as a nine-tailed demon fox was exposed. Emperor Toba became furious and issued an imperial decree to pursue her. She then fled the capital and hid in the eastern region.

It was precisely because of these connections that Daitengu was able to win over Tamamonomae to his camp, and together they worked undercover for the royal family in the Kamo family. Then, on the night of Kamo Akira's rebellion the day before, they took advantage of the chaos to take back the Shinjingjinjing.

"Can we start our plan now?" asked Daitengu.

The former emperor nodded and said: "The Zhenjingjin Mirror was originally a royal treasure. We have passed down the spell to control the magic mirror from generation to generation. It is much easier to refine the restrictions of the magic mirror than the Kamo family. Now it can be used."

"The True Scripture Mirror has the ability to control people's hearts. As long as we can use the power of the mirror to control the key figures in the military, cabinet, and chaebol, and then transfer benefits to the United States to obtain permission, the royal family can get rid of its puppet status and step out from behind the scenes."

"When I take control of the island nation, I will immediately order the allocation of a piece of land for the demon tribe to govern themselves. Then the demon tribe will be able to legitimately own their own territory, and my uncle will be the governor."

Hearing this, the Great Tengu smiled slightly and said, "In that case, I thank your Majesty. I have been scolded as a traitor and a running dog by my fellow demons for hundreds of years, and I have finally given them an explanation."

"But, when should we start? You don't want to end up like Yu did back then, where the coup failed and ended up as a vengeful spirit that turned into a demon."

The emperor said coldly: "First test the effect of the Zhenjing Jinjing in controlling people's hearts. After confirming that it is effective, use a thunderbolt to control all key figures."

"The question is, who should we find as the experimental subject?"

The Emperor looked at the two little shrine maidens playing in the distance at the shrine and said calmly, "Let's start with the girls who are not valued in the big families."

Daitengu also followed his gaze and looked at Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya: "Fujiwara? Or Shinomiya?"

"The Fujiwara clan knows too many secrets, and there are still people in the family who serve as high-ranking officials in the cabinet. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, it is better to choose the fourth palace."

Just a few words can determine a person's fate.

The man and the demon looked at the two energetic and beautiful girls as if they were looking at stones on the side of the road, without a trace of humanity.

……

Lin Hezhen returned home with potato chips and Coke. Before he turned on the light, he was attacked by a warm and soft body.

"Guess who I am?" The man covered Lin Hezhen's eyes and said in a hoarse voice.

"Could it be that the Not Smiling Cat has turned into a three-no loli cat girl?" Lin Hezhen said deliberately.

"Bah, you're just dreaming!" The mocking voice of the Unsmiling Cat came from not far away.

"So that's not the case," Lin Hezhen said with disappointment in his tone, "I was expecting you to perform a 'Cat Girl Returns the Favor' after you transformed."

Just ask, who doesn’t want a beautiful cat girl like the guardian cat girl Hinami, who is both capable and good at fighting?

"Repay a favor? That's wishful thinking!" The Unsmiling Cat almost cried as he recalled the bitter past when he was "abused" by Lin Hezhen in various ways.

"If I ever cultivate to the point of transformation, the first thing I'll do is hang you up and teach you a lesson!"

"Where do you want me to teach you a lesson? If it's on the bed, I won't resist, hiss~"

Before he finished his words, a slender hand fell on Lin Hezhen's waist, pinched a piece of soft flesh and rotated it 90 degrees.

"I'm really sorry that I'm not a three-no loli cat girl." Mai's voice sounded faintly.

Lin Hezhen took the opportunity to take away her hand that was covering her eyes, held it to his chest, and said seriously: "Loli cat girl? What is that? I don't care about such things that will cause novels to be removed from the shelves as soon as they are written."

"And you just said that you hope not to transform into a loli." Mai still had a grudge.

"Actually, compared to the underdeveloped lolita, a sexy and beautiful girl is better. Just looking at her is a feast for the eyes. So, Mai, when can you wear a bunny girl costume again?"

"Why are you wearing a bunny girl costume again? Are you giving some philandering guy free benefits?"

"It's not impossible to pay. I think paying is a good habit. People with noble character will not let other people's efforts go to waste."

Mai sighed weakly: "After several days of separation, is this all you want to say to me?"

"Ah, anything else? Things about cultivation?" Lin Hezhen pretended to be stupid.

"Have you completed your daily training? Have you learned the spells I taught you? Have you memorized the basic spells and hand gestures? As your teacher, I have to check."

"Yes, yes, that's all you care about." Mai grumbled in dissatisfaction, "As soon as I heard about the gas explosion in Dongdu City, I rushed back in a hurry."

"I see. It seems that getting Mai back is the biggest gain of all the big fuss I've made." Lin Hezhen smiled.

He lowered his head, leaned close to Mai's ear, sniffed the fragrance of her hair, and whispered, "Junior sister, I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much."

Mai's face turned red instantly, and her cheeks were like blooming roses, so beautiful and charming.

"Yeah, I miss you too." She leaned her head gently on Lin Hezhen's broad chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

The sun set in the sky, and the setting sun shone on the two of them, as if covering them with a thin layer of golden gauze.

"Are you used to living abroad?" Lin Hezhen asked.

"I'm not used to it, because without that guy who I love and hate, I suddenly feel empty inside."

"Well, how about you use magic to make it as big as a cell phone and put it directly in your bag. When you miss it, take it out and play with it. It might be a bit troublesome to go through security check, but fortunately it is very small and can be passed by just putting it on your chest."

"Let's not talk about the second half, but the first half is a good suggestion. Not only can I see him anytime and anywhere, but it can also effectively prevent him from having affairs. I'll try it next time."

"Ma Yi, you have wronged me. I have always been a chaste man and I am still a pure and innocent young man. How can I be accused of having affairs with other women?"

"Then what's the matter between you and Yukinoshita Yukino?" Mai raised her head and showed a "kind" smile.

"That was force majeure. Besides, the curse has been resolved. She and I no longer need to stay within five meters of each other."

"But from what I can see, Yukinoshita-san hasn't distanced herself from you. She still lives next door to you and goes to and from school with you."

Lin Hezhen sighed helplessly: "Mai, you have to know that charm is like pregnancy, it can't be hidden at all. The man you like is naturally good, and other women are not blind."

"So, what do you think of Yukinoshita-san?" Sakurajima Mai raised her head and stared at him intently.

“How else can you view him?” Lin Hezhen spread his hands. “A friend you can get along with, or something like that.”
