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

Let Hayasaka Ai take over, her chances of winning are greater than Shinomiya Kaguya!

But the words had been spoken and could not be taken back. Kaguya Shinomiya could only give up this opportunity and wait for the next one.

So she said, "Would you like to pretend to be a staff member in the villa? This way, it won't arouse suspicion."

[That’s fine.] Lin Hezhen said indifferently.

Chapter 198 Who is the licker

"What should I do, Hayasaka? I screwed up again today."

On that day, Kaguya Shinomiya returned home and waited for Hayashi Kazuma to go offline for training. Then she threw herself into Hayasaka Ai's arms and began to complain.

"I had clearly prepared to invite Lin Jun to be my male companion, but when the words came to my lips, I still couldn't say them smoothly. In the end, I could only settle for the next best thing and ask him to pretend to be a staff member in the villa and attend the banquet."

Hayasaka Ai put her hand on her forehead and said in deep sorrow, "Miss Kaguya, why do you usually act so elegant and calm, but fail at the critical moment? Is your last name really Shinomiya instead of Tousaka?"

"What Toosaka?" Shinomiya Kaguya naturally didn't understand these two-dimensional memes.

Hayasaka Ai explained simply: "It's an ACG work. It tells the story of a group of people competing for the Holy Grail. They use magic to summon historical heroes to fight, and the winner can make a wish."

"One of them was a young lady named Toosaka. She made all the preparations, but she got the summoning time wrong and failed to summon the Heroic Spirit she wanted."

Shinomiya Kaguya didn't know what she was thinking of, and said with a stiff expression: "That's really unfortunate."

"However, although she failed to win the Holy Grail War, she summoned her future husband." Hayasaka Ai added.

Hearing this, Shinomiya Kaguya's eyes widened.

"Can this be called a slip of the chain at a critical moment? She is obviously very lucky! I also want to summon Mr. Lin directly from the future and ask her how we got together?"

Hayasaka likes to talk.

"Have you already presumed to believe that Lin Jun is your future husband? But judging from the current situation, I'm afraid your favorability in his eyes is not even 70."

"I'm afraid that Lin Jun doesn't even consider you as a dating partner. No, he definitely doesn't even consider you as a backup!"

"Goo!"

Hayasaka Ai's words were like a sharp arrow, piercing Shinomiya Kaguya's heart.

"Is my hand so bad that I don't even have a chance of winning? Hayasaka, what do you think I should do?"

Shinomiya Kaguya tearfully turned to her chief of staff for help.

Hayasaka Ai said earnestly: "Miss Kaguya, forgive me for being blunt, if you want to be with Lin Jun, then you must be respectful, proactive, and positive in your attitude towards him! Dare to fight a tough battle and a protracted war!"

"Everyone in the island nation's top clan circles knows that this is an era of spiritual energy revival. The monks who possess extraordinary powers will only become more and more powerful. It is only a matter of time before they step out from behind the scenes and into the spotlight in the future."

"Lin Jun is a powerful cultivator who is second to none in the island nation. His status and position are probably not lower than that of President Yan'an. Miss Kaguya's attitude towards him is probably not enough to treat him as an equal, let alone boss him around."

"You have to know that even men from commoner families have strong self-esteem and are unwilling to give up their leading position in love. They try every means to gain the upper hand. So a man like Mr. Lin, who already has a superior status, needs to be more courteous."

"So, Ms. Kaguya, you must not compare Lin Jun with those ordinary people who confessed to you in the past. You must not wait patiently for the other party to confess. Instead, you must take the initiative and do your best to show your charm and make the other party willingly succumb to you."

Shinomiya Kaguya was stunned when she heard this. Suddenly, her eyebrows raised and she opened her eyes wide and asked, "Do you mean that I should be Lin Jun's licker?"

Hayasaka Ai rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "What else? If you don't lick him, do you expect him to lick you? Don't forget that there are several girls around him. If you don't take the initiative, when they come to their senses, you won't have any chance at all."

Shinomiya Kaguya said hesitantly, "But, but, I was the first to fall in love, so I'm already at a disadvantage. If I continue to flatter him, will Lin Jun look down on me even more? Then won't I be threatened by him in our relationship?"

Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but reach out and nod her head: "You, it's not too late to talk about those things after you get what you want. Besides, I don't think Lin Jun is the kind of person who would PUA a girl."

"Even so, when I think about trying to please him, I don't know how to start! Oyster, absolute oyster!" Shinomiya Kaguya shouted like crazy.

Although she had learned the secret "pure and innocent" acting skills of the Shinomiya family and had also mastered the ability to speak differently to different people in the social circle, people in love are all fools.

No matter how eloquent they are in normal times, when they stand in front of the person they like, their minds will go blank and they will forget all their strategies and tactics.

Because they care too much about the other person and focus all their attention on him/her, they are afraid that their words and actions will cause the other person to feel bad. As a result, they are at a loss and make many mistakes. Such people are everywhere.

No matter how smart and precocious Shinomiya Kaguya is, she is just a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love. In the unfamiliar field of love, she is a complete novice.

It is really a pipe dream to expect her to be like those experienced lovers and use their skillful techniques to achieve an extremely difficult goal.

What's more, Kaguya Shinomiya received a very conservative education, has a strong self-esteem, and has never encountered a situation where she needed to curry favor with others, so this tactic is almost impossible to implement.

Hayasaka Ai sighed. In fact, she had expected this result a long time ago. After all, she grew up with Shinomiya Kaguya, and no one knew Kaguya better than her.

But she still hopes that Kaguya can give it a try. After all, as the saying goes, "For a man to pursue a woman, there's a mountain between them; for a woman to pursue a man, there's only a layer of gauze between them."

When a man licks a woman, he may "lick her till he has nothing", but when a woman chases a man, as long as he is not extremely good-looking, it is very likely that "the dog will lick her till he has everything".

However, Kaguya's poor performance was within her expectations.

If it doesn't work, just use that method, Hayasaka Ai touched the small glass bottle in her pocket.

She really worries about her disappointing sister Kaguya Shinomiya.

As for the little extravagant thoughts in my heart, let them disappear as time goes by...

As long as Kaguya can get what she wants and live happily, that's enough.

……

Invitations from the four palace branches have been sent to the mansions of various upper-class families.

In East City, in the Yukinoshita family’s mansion.

Yukinoshita's father opened the exquisite invitation, and the text inside roughly invited the Yukinoshita family to go to Shinomiya Villa to attend a banquet hosted by Shinomiya Kaguya.

After the fall of the Kamo family, their original promise to help Yukinoshita's father in his campaign for governor of Chiya County should have fallen through.

However, because Yukino has a close relationship with Hayashi Kazuma, the island nation's top leaders decided to implement this matter as a way to indirectly show goodwill to Hayashi Kazuma.

Anyway, Yukinoshita's father is already the governor of Chiya County, which means he is a member of the real upper class.

"Wife, Haruno, Yukino, let's go to the banquet hosted by the Shinomiya family in a few days!" He shouted to his wife and daughter, waving the invitation.

Chapter 199 Dogs and women are not my favorite

The banquet was held on a weekend.

Hayasaka Ai got up early and directed dozens of servants in the Shinomiya Villa to clean the entire mansion thoroughly and make it look brand new.

Today is the day when Kaguya Shinomiya officially announced her participation in the Shinomiya Zaimiya heir. The importance of tonight's banquet is self-evident, and the identities of the guests are also extraordinary.

As the housekeeper of the Shinomiya branch, Hayasaka Ai must ensure perfection in every detail.

When everything was ready, Hayasaka Ai came to Shinomiya Kaguya's luxurious bedroom.

"Knock, knock, Ms. Kaguya, Mr. Lin, I'm coming in."

After knocking on the door, Hayasaka Ai pushed open the heavy wooden door, and the sound effects of the game came like a tide.

Hayashi Kazuma and Shinomiya Kaguya, two people who have a mutual understanding but have only met a few times, finally got together in person.

"Go around and sneak past him. Don't let him find you... Fight him now!"

The two of them sat around the computer, and Lin Hezhen was instructing Shinomiya Kaguya on how to play the old man's ring.

Although it was Kaguya Shinomiya's first time playing a game, and the one she started with was the Soul series, which requires relatively high operating skills, she was smart, had a high level of comprehension and a good memory. Under the guidance of Hayashi Kazuma, she quickly mastered the basic operations.

The protagonist she controlled sneaked up behind a royal city guard and stabbed him through with a sword.

A large amount of milky white blood that was about to be fused into the crab was sprayed out in a fan shape, which looked extremely real.

Shinomiya Kaguya took the opponent away with one move, leaving a pool of blood on the stone ground.

"Well, it seems easy."

Shinomiya Kaguya was not affected by the bloody and violent elements of the game at all. She was very calm and even had the leisure to make a few comments.

Lin Hezhen said disapprovingly: "That's because you are using my big account to bully the weak ones."

It's really weird that he can be killed by soldiers even though he has an advantage in both level and equipment.

Hayasaka Ai came up to the two of them and bowed respectfully, saying, "Ms. Kaguya, Mr. Lin, it's almost time. Please follow me to change clothes."

Lin Kazuma looked at Hayasaka Ai's "male host", oh no, "male butler" outfit, and was a little surprised.

Even though I had seen it in the comics before traveling through time, the feeling of having the real person standing in front of me was still very different from that in the comics.

Hayasaka Ai was seen wearing a black butler's uniform, with her blonde hair hidden under a short black wig and a pair of slightly old-fashioned glasses on her straight nose.

Of course, the biggest difference from her usual image is that she doesn't have breast pads.

A pair of A cups hidden under the neatly ironed suit would make others think that this is a thin and handsome boy who insists on exercising his chest muscles, rather than the busty hot girl from Shuchiin.

"So fast." Kaguya Shinomiya lifted her hair and said with a little reluctance.

Today, under the pretext of hosting a banquet, she sent someone to pick up Lin Hezhen in advance to create an opportunity to be alone with him.

Even though they were just playing games together, Kaguya Shinomiya felt extremely sweet. She believed that as long as she was with the person she loved, even if they were just squatting on the ground watching ants moving, they would find it very interesting.

Hayasaka Ai didn't want to be a light bulb and separate them, but the night was falling, the lights were coming on, and the time for the banquet was getting closer and closer. If they didn't get ready, the guests would arrive.

Lin Hezhen glanced at the clock, stood up first and said, "Nothing, we'll have another chance to play later, let's go change clothes first."

Hayasaka Ai said, "Mr. Tanaka at the door will take you to the men's locker room."

"Okay." Lin Hezhen pushed the door and walked out.

As soon as he left, Shinomiya Kaguya put away her keyboard and mouse and said with a worried look on her face: "Hayasaka, didn't you say that increasing the time spent alone will deepen the relationship? Why do I feel like it's of no use at all?"

Hayasaka Ai calmly complained: "That's because you are all addicted to games. If you are playing games, how can you still talk about love?"

"But there's no need to rush, Ms. Kaguya. You'll always find an opportunity in the future."

As she spoke, she skillfully lifted up Kaguya Shinomiya's hair and helped her put on a gorgeous evening gown.

On the other side, Lin Hezhen followed the taciturn butler to the locker room.

He changed into a white shirt, black suit and black tie, looking just like Sebastian Michaelis in Black Butler.

Lin Hezhen imitated the demon butler, put on a cool expression, and deliberately lowered his voice to start cosplaying.

"Cats are better. Dogs and women are not my favorite."

The butler Tanaka listened silently and decided to report this to Hayasaka Ai later.

……

The night is getting darker.

Luxury cars drove into the mansion, and the well-dressed guests were led by servants into the magnificent hall.

As the host, Kaguya Shinomiya stood in the center of the hall.

She was wearing a black Gothic long skirt today, with layers of lace that swayed in a charming curve.

Her seaweed-like black curly hair slid down her chest, and her black skirt made her skin look white as snow, like a blooming jasmine flower under the dim light.

Coupled with her pointed oval face, a pair of clear red eyes, slightly upturned red lips, and white and charming legs, she exudes silent temptation in the black, as if she is a vampire walking in the darkness.

Hayashi Kazuma and Hayasaka Ai, who was dressed as a male butler, followed closely behind Shinomiya Kaguya like two door gods.

From time to time, Hayasaka Ai whispered information about the guests to Hayashi Kazuma.

A woman wearing a burgundy long-sleeved shirt with beautiful pleats on the chest and cuffs, and a luxurious, fluffy black long skirt, walked over with a handsome man.

Hayasaka Ai introduced softly: "This is Mrs. Kujo and her son-in-law, Kujo Toru."

I've heard for a long time that wealthy families in the island country have the habit of taking in a son-in-law, but this is the first time I've encountered it in real life.

Lin Hezhen looked at the man.

He was handsome beyond ordinary people, his eyes sparkled with wisdom, and he exuded a confident temperament. No wonder he was able to marry into a wealthy family.

"It's another party. I hate this boring life."

The man complained in fluent Chinese.

"Shut up!"

His strong wife dragged him to greet Kaguya Shinomiya.

Lin Hezhen looked at this son-in-law from the island country in surprise.

His Chinese dialect is very standard, which is something that those Japanese people who don’t even have retroflex sounds can’t do. He must be a “fellow Chinese.”

However, the situation of this "fellow villager" seems a bit bad.

There was a special aura lingering around him. It was not the aura of the Zhenjing Jinjing, but it should also be a powerful magic weapon.
